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.

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, 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.’”

In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler 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.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.

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

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 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.

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned 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.”

Then the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You will not get in here." For the blind and the lame incited them, saying, "David can't get in here."

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

Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion (that 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.”

David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."

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.

David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.

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

David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was 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.

Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.

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 knew that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

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.

David took more secondary wives and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were born to David more sons and daughters.

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

These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

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

and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 Àti Eliṣama, àti Eliada, àti Elifeleti.

and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.

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.

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.

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

Now the Philistines came and 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.”

So David inquired of the LORD, asking, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Then the LORD answered David, "Go up, for I will certainly deliver them 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.

So David came to Baal Perazim, and he defeated them there, and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of waters." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

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

And they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.

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

The Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves 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 inquired of the LORD, and the LORD said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar trees.

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 shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army 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 did as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
