2 Samuela 5
1Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh.
1PEA naʻe toki haʻu ai ʻae ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli kia Tevita ʻi Hepeloni, ʻonau lea, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku mau ʻo ho hui, pea mo ho kakano.”
2In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the LORD said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over Israel.’”
2Pea ʻi he kuonga kuo hili foki, ʻaia naʻe tuʻi ai ʻa Saula kiate kimautolu, ko koe ia naʻa ke tataki atu mo toe ʻomi ʻa ʻIsileli; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate koe, Te ke fafanga ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, pea te ke pule koe ki ʻIsileli.
3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel.
3Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ʻi Hepeloni; pea naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ʻae fuakava mo kinautolu ʻi Hepeloni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova; pea naʻa nau pani ʻa Tevita ʻaki ʻae lolo ke ne tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli.
4David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
4Naʻe tolungofulu taʻu ʻa Tevita ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
5At Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and at Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.
5Naʻa ne pule ʻi Hepeloni ki Siuta ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu mo e māhina ʻe ono: pea naʻa ne pule ki ʻIsileli kotoa pea mo Siuta, ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu.
6And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, “You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will ward you off”—thinking, “David cannot come in here.”
6Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae tuʻi mo ʻene kau tangata ki Selūsalema ki he kakai Sepusi, ko e kakai ʻoe fonua: ʻakinautolu naʻe lea ʻo pehē kia Tevita, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻave ʻae kui mo e ketu, ʻe ʻikai siʻi te ke hū mai ki heni: he naʻa nau pehē, ʻE ʻikai faʻa haʻu ʻa Tevita ki heni.”
7Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.
7Ka neongo ia, naʻe lavaʻi ʻe Tevita ʻae kolo mālohi ko Saione; pea ko ia “ko e Kolo ʻo Tevita.”
8And David said on that day, “Whoever would strike the Jebusites, let him get up the water shaft to attack ‘the lame and the blind,’who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore it is said, “The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.”
8Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, “ʻIlonga ia ʻe hoko hake ki he puke ʻoe kolo, ʻo ne tali ʻae kau Sepusi, pea mo e ketu mo e kui ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻae laumālie ʻo Tevita, ʻe hoko ia ko e tuʻukimuʻa mo e ʻeiki pule,” ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau pehē, “ʻE ʻikai hoko ki fale ʻae kui mo e ketu.”
9And David lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. And David built the city all around from the Millo inward.
9Pea naʻe pehē ʻae nofo ʻa Tevita ʻi he kolotau, pea naʻa ne ui ia ko e Kolo ʻo Tevita. Pea naʻe langa takatakai ʻae kolo ʻe Tevita mei Milo ʻo fai mai ki loto.
10And David became greater and greater, for the LORD, the God of hosts, was with him.
10Pea naʻe ʻaluʻalu ai pe ʻa Tevita, ʻo ne fakaʻaʻau ʻo lahi, pea naʻe kau mo ia ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
11And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, also carpenters and masons who built David a house.
11Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe Helami ko e tuʻi ʻo Taia ʻae kau talafekau kia Tevita, mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita, mo e kau tufunga ʻakau, mo e kau tufunga maka pea naʻa nau langa ha fale kia Tevita.
12And David knew that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
12Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Tevita kuo fakapapau ia ʻe Sihova ko e tuʻi ki ʻIsileli, pea kuo ne fakamāʻolunga ʻa hono puleʻanga koeʻuhi ko hono kakai ko ʻIsileli.
13And David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born to David.
13Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻo fakatokolahi kiate ia ʻe Tevita ʻae sinifu mo e ngaahi ʻunoho mei Selūsalema, ʻi he hili ʻa ʻene haʻu mei Hepeloni: pea naʻe toe fānau kia Tevita ʻae ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine.
14And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
14Pea ko e hingoa eni ʻokinautolu naʻe fānau kiate ia ʻi Selūsalema; ko Samua, mo Sopapi mo Natani, pea mo Solomone.
15Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
15Ko Ipia foki, mo ʻIlisua, mo Nefeki, mo Safia,
16Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
16Mo ʻIlisama, mo Iliata, pea mo Ilifileti.
17When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. But David heard of it and went down to the stronghold.
17Kae ʻi he fanongo ʻe he kakai Filisitia kuo fakanofo ʻa Tevita ke tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli, naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai Filisitia kotoa pē ke kumi kia Tevita; pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻe Tevita, ʻo ne ʻalu hifo ki he kolo mālohi.
18Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
18Naʻe haʻu foki ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻonau fakamafola ʻakinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lefeimi.
19And David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And the LORD said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”
19Pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, pehē, “Te u ʻalu hake ki he kakai Filisitia? Te ke tuku mai ʻakinautolu ki hoku nima?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita, “ʻAlu hake: he ko e moʻoni te u tuku ʻae kakai Filisitia ki ho nima.”
20And David came to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there. And he said, “The LORD has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood.” Therefore the name of that place is called Baal-perazim.
20Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Tevita ki Peali-Pilasimi pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai ʻe Tevita, mo ne pehē, “Kuo meʻa atu ʻa Sihova ki hoku ngaahi fili ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo hangē ko e hā atu ha ngaahi vai.” Ko ia naʻe ui ai ʻae hingoa ʻoe potu ko ia ko Peali-Pilasimi.
21And the Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
21Pea naʻa nau tuku honau ngaahi tamapua ʻi ai, pea naʻe tutu ia ʻe Tevita pea mo hono kau tangata.
22And the Philistines came up yet again and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
22Pea naʻe toe haʻu foki ʻae kakai Filisitia, ʻonau fakamafola kinautolu ʻi he teleʻa ʻo Lefeimi.
23And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up; go around to their rear, and come against them opposite the balsam trees.
23Pea ʻi heʻene fehuʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova, naʻa ne fakahā mai, “ʻE ʻikai te ke ʻalu hake; kae ʻalu fakatakamilo ki mui ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke hoko mai kiate kinautolu ʻo feʻunga mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e molipeli.
24And when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then rouse yourself, for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike down the army of the Philistines.”
24Pea tuku ke pehē, ʻoka ke ka fanongo ki he mumuhu ʻi he ʻuluʻi ʻakau molipeli, te ke toki ngaue koe: koeʻuhi ʻe toki muʻomuʻa atu ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe, ke teʻia ʻae kautau ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”
25And David did as the LORD commanded him, and struck down the Philistines from Geba to Gezer.
25Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe Tevita ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia; pea naʻe taaʻi ʻae kakai Filisitia mei Kepa ʻo aʻu atu ʻaupito ki Kesa.
