1 Mga Cronica 14
1 Pagkatapos, nagpadala si Hiram na hari ng Tiro ng mga mensahero kay David at cedar na kahoy, mga karpintero at mga mason. Nagtayo sila ng bahay para sa kaniya.
And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.
2 Alam ni David na hinirang siya ni Yahweh bilang hari sa buong Israel at naitaas ang kaniyang kaharian para sa kapakanan ng kaniyang bayang Israel.
And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.
3 Nag-asawa pa ng marami si David sa Jerusalem, at siya ay naging ama ng maraming anak na lalaki at babae.
And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Ito ang pangalan ng kaniyang mga anak na isinilang sa Jerusalem: Sina Samua, Sobab, Natan, Solomon,
These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon
5 Ibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,
And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet
6 Noga, Nefeg, Jafia,
And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia
7 Elisama, Beeliada, at Elifelet.
And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.
8 Nang mabalitaan ng mga Filisteo na hinirang si David bilang hari sa buong Israel, umalis silang lahat upang hanapin siya. Ngunit nabalitaan ni David ang tungkol dito at umalis upang labanan sila.
And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.
9 Dumating ang mga Filisteo at nilusob ang lambak ng Refaim.
Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
10 Pagkatapos, humingi si David ng tulong mula sa Diyos. Sinabi niya, “Dapat ko bang lusubin ang mga Filisteo? Pagtatagumpayin mo ba ako laban sa kanila?” Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Lusubin mo sila, sapagkat tiyak na ibibigay ko sila sa iyo.”
And David, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? and will you give them into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up; for I will give them into your hands.
11 Kaya, pumunta sila sa Baal-perazim at tinalo ang mga Filisteo doon. Sinabi niya, “Nilupig ni Yahweh ang aking mga kaaway sa pamamagitan ng aking mga kamay tulad ng rumaragasang tubig baha.” Kaya ang pangalan ng lugar na iyon ay Baal-perazim.
So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.
12 Iniwan ng mga Filisteo ang kanilang mga diyus-diyosan doon at nagbigay si David ng utos na dapat sunugin ang mga iyon.
And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.
13 Pagkatapos, muling nilusob ng mga Filisteo ang lambak.
Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.
14 Kaya muling humingi si David ng tulong sa Diyos. Sinabi ng Diyos sa kaniya, “Huwag mong lusubin ang kanilang harapan, sa halip umikot ka at lusubin mo sila sa likuran sa tapat ng mga puno ng balsam.
And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-trees.
15 Kapag narinig mo ang tunog ng martsa sa hangin na umiihip sa itaas ng mga puno ng balsam, lumusob ka nang buong lakas. Gawin mo ito dahil ang Diyos ay mauuna sa iyo upang lusubin ang hukbo ng mga Filisteo.”
And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.
16 Kaya ginawa ni David ang inutos ng Diyos sa kaniya. Tinalo niya ang hukbo ng mga Filisteo mula sa Gibeon hanggang sa Gezer.
And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
17 Pagkatapos, naipamalita ang katanyagan ni David sa lahat ng lupain at ginawa ni Yahweh na matakot ang lahat ng bansa kay David.
And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations.
