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 came all the tribes of Israel unto David, in Hebron, —and spake, saying—Behold us! thy bone and thy flesh, we are.

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, in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou, wast he that led out and brought in, Israel, —and Yahweh said to thee—Thou, shalt be shepherd unto my people, Israel, and, thou, shalt become 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.

So all the elders of Israel came unto the king, in Hebron, and King David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel.

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

Thirty years old, was David when he began to reign, —forty years, he reigned:

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, reigned he over Judah, seven years, and six months, —and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and 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 went the king and his men, to Jerusalem, against the Jebusites, inhabiting the land, —and they spake to David, saying—Thou canst not come in hither, unless thou take away the blind and lame—Thinking, David will not come in hither.

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

So then David captured the citadel of Zion, —the same, 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 David said, on that day—Whosoever is smiting the Jebusites, then let him reach as far as the aqueduct. But, as for the lame and the blind, they were the hated of David’s soul, —for which cause, they kept on saying, Blind and lame! he will not enter the place.

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.

So then David dwelt in the citadel, and called it, The City of David, —and David built round about, from Millo and inwards.

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

And David went on and on waxing great, —Yahweh, God of hosts, being 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.

Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers unto David, with cedar-wood, and carpenters, and masons, and they built 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.

So David perceived that Yahweh had established him to be king over Israel, —and that he had exalted his kingdom, for the sake 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 David took him yet more concubines and wives, out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron, and there were, yet further, born unto David, sons and daughters.

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

Now, these, are the names of the sons who were born unto him in Jerusalem, —Shammua and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;

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

and Ibhar and Elishua and Nepheg and Yaphia;

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, when the Philistine heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel, then came up all the Philistines to seek to secure David, and David heard of it, and went down into the citadel.

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

Now, the Philistines, had come, —and had spread themselves out in the vale 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 then David enquired of Yahweh, saying, —Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said unto David—Go up; for I, will surely deliver, the Philistines into thy 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 entered Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said—Yahweh hath broken forth upon mine enemies, before me, like a breaking forth of waters. For this cause, called he 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 left their images 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.

And, yet again, did the Philistines come up, —and they spread themselves out in the vale 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.

So David enquired of Yahweh, and he said—Thou shalt not go up, —Get round behind them, and come in upon them, over against the mulberry-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 thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou act with decision, —for, then, will Yahweh have gone forth before thee, to smite the host 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 so, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and smote the Philistines, from Gibeon until thou enterest Gezer.
