2 Samuel 5

1 Gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli sì tọ Dafidi wá ní Hebroni, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ẹran-ara rẹ àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ ni àwa ń í ṣe.

And all the tribes of Israel come to David, to Hebron, and speak, saying, “Behold, we [are] your bone and your flesh;

2 Àti nígbà àtijọ́, nígbà tí Saulu fi jẹ ọba lórí wa, ìwọ ni ẹni tí ó máa ń kó Israẹli jáde, ìwọ sì ni ó máa ń mú wọn bọ̀ wá ilé: Olúwa sì wí fún ọ pé, ‘Ìwọ yóò ṣe olùṣọ́ Israẹli àwọn ènìyàn mi, ìwọ yóò sì jẹ́ olórí fún Israẹli.’”

also thus far, in Saul’s being king over us, you have been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and YHWH says to you, You feed My people Israel, and you are for leader over Israel.”

3 Gbogbo àgbàgbà Israẹli sì tọ ọba wá ní Hebroni, Dafidi ọba sì bá wọn ṣe àdéhùn kan ní Hebroni, níwájú Olúwa: wọ́n sì fi òróró yan Dafidi ní ọba Israẹli.

And all [the] elderly of Israel come to the king, to Hebron, and King David makes a covenant with them in Hebron before YHWH, and they anoint David for king over Israel.

4 Dafidi sì jẹ́ ẹni ọgbọ̀n ọdún nígbà tí ó jẹ ọba; ó sì jẹ ọba ní ogójì ọdún.

A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; he has reigned [for] forty years;

5 Ó jẹ ọba ní Hebroni ní ọdún méje àti oṣù mẹ́fà lórí Juda, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu ní ọdún mẹ́tàlélọ́gbọ̀n lórí gbogbo Israẹli àti Juda.

he reigned over Judah in Hebron [for] seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned [for] thirty-three years, over all Israel and Judah.

6 Àti ọba àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì lọ sí Jerusalẹmu sọ́dọ̀ àwọn ará Jebusi, àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà; àwọn tí ó sì ti wí fún Dafidi pé, “Bí kò ṣe pé ìwọ bá mú àwọn afọ́jú àti àwọn arọ kúrò, ìwọ kì yóò wọ ìhín wá.” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Dafidi kì yóò lè wá síyìn-ín.”

And the king goes, and his men, to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David, saying, “You do not come in here, except [that] you turn aside the blind and the lame,” saying, “David does not come in here.”

7 Ṣùgbọ́n Dafidi fi agbára gba ìlú odi Sioni: èyí náà ni í ṣe ìlú Dafidi.

And David captures the fortress of Zion, it [is] the City of David.

8 Dafidi sọ lọ́jọ́ náà pé, “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò kọlu àwọn ará Jebusi, jẹ́ kí ó gba ojú àgbàrá, kí o sí kọlu àwọn arọ, àti àwọn afọ́jú tí ọkàn Dafidi kórìíra.” Nítorí náà ni wọ́n ṣe wí pé, “Afọ́jú àti arọ wà níbẹ̀, kì yóò lè wọlé.”

And on that day David says, “Anyone striking the Jebusite, let him go up by the watercourse (and the lame and the blind—the hated of David’s soul).” Therefore they say, “The blind and lame—he does not come into the house.”

9 Dafidi sì jókòó ní ilé àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó ní odi, a sì ń pè é ní ìlú Dafidi. Dafidi mọ ògiri yí i ká láti Millo wá, ó sì kọ́ ilé nínú rẹ̀.

And David dwells in the fortress, and calls it the City of David, and David builds all around, from Millo and inward,

10 Dafidi sì ń pọ̀ sí i, Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.

and David goes, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with him.

11 Hiramu ọba Tire sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí Dafidi, àti igi kedari, àti àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, àti àwọn tí ń gbẹ́ òkúta, wọ́n kọ́ ilé kan fún Dafidi.

And Hiram king of Tyre sends messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of stone, for walls, and they build a house for David,

12 Dafidi sì kíyèsi i pé, Olúwa ti fi ìdí òun múlẹ̀ láti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, àti pé, ó gbé ìjọba rẹ̀ ga nítorí Israẹli àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀.

and David knows that YHWH has established him for king over Israel, and that He has lifted up his kingdom, because of His people Israel.

13 Dafidi sì tún mú àwọn àlè àti aya sí i láti Jerusalẹmu wá, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti Hebroni bọ̀, wọ́n sì bí ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin fún Dafidi.

And again David takes concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and again there are born to David sons and daughters.

14 Èyí sì ni orúkọ àwọn tí a bí fún un ní Jerusalẹmu; Ṣammua, Ṣobabu, Natani àti Solomoni.

And these [are] the names of those born to him in Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 Àti Ibhari, àti Eliṣua, àti Nefegi, àti Jafia.

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 Àti Eliṣama, àti Eliada, àti Elifeleti.

and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

17 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn Filistini gbọ́ pé, wọ́n ti fi Dafidi jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli, gbogbo àwọn Filistini sì gòkè wá láti wá Dafidi; Dafidi sì gbọ́, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ìlú olódi.

And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek David, and David hears, and goes down to the fortress,

18 Àwọn Filistini sì wá, wọ́n sì tẹ ara wọn ní àfonífojì Refaimu.

and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

19 Dafidi sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa pé, “Kí èmi ó gòkè tọ àwọn Filistini bí? Ìwọ ó fi wọ́n lé mi lọ́wọ́ bí?” Olúwa sì wí fún Dafidi pé, “Gòkè lọ, nítorí pé dájúdájú èmi ó fi àwọn Filistini lé ọ lọ́wọ́.”

And David asks of YHWH, saying, “Do I go up to the Philistines? Do You give them into my hand?” And YHWH says to David, “Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”

20 Dafidi sì dé Baali-Perasimu, Dafidi sì pa wọ́n níbẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa ti ya lu àwọn ọ̀tá mi níwájú mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí omi ti ń ya.” Nítorí náà ni òun ṣe pe orúkọ ibẹ̀ náà ni Baali-Perasimu.

And David comes to Ba‘al-Perazim, and David strikes them there, and says, “YHWH has broken forth [on] my enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters”; therefore he has called the name of that place Ba‘al-Perazim.

21 Wọ́n sì fi òrìṣà wọn sílẹ̀ níbẹ̀, Dafidi àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì kó wọn.

And they forsake their idols there, and David and his men lift them up.

22 Àwọn Filistini sì tún gòkè wá, wọ́n sì tan ara wọn kalẹ̀ ní àfonífojì Refaimu.

And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread out in the Valley of Rephaim,

23 Dafidi sì béèrè lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, òun sì wí pé, “Má ṣe gòkè lọ; ṣùgbọ́n bù wọ́n lẹ́yìn, kí o sì kọlù wọ́n níwájú àwọn igi Baka.

and David asks of YHWH, and He says, “You do not go up, turn around to their rear, and you have come to them from the front [[or in front]] of the mulberries,

24 Yóò sì ṣe, nígbà tí ìwọ bá gbọ́ ìró ẹsẹ̀ lórí àwọn igi Baka náà, nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò sì yára, nítorí pé nígbà náà ni Olúwa yóò jáde lọ níwájú rẹ láti kọlù ogun àwọn Filistini.”

and it comes to pass, in your hearing the sound of a stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then you move sharply, for then YHWH has gone out before you to strike in the camp of the Philistines.”

25 Dafidi sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un; ó sì kọlu àwọn Filistini láti Geba títí dé Geseri.

And David does so, as YHWH commanded him, and strikes the Philistines from Geba to your coming to Gazer.
