Gifts from Tyre
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
Naye Hiramu, mfalme wa Tiro, akatuma wajumbe kwa Daudi, akampelekea na mierezi, na waashi, na maseremala, ili wamjengee nyumba.
2 And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
Daudi akajua ya kwamba Bwana amemweka imara ili amiliki juu ya Israeli, kwa kuwa milki yake imeinuka kwa ajili ya watu wake Israeli.
David's Family
3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
Tena Daudi akazidi kuoa wake huko Yerusalemu; akazidi Daudi kuzaa wana na binti.
4 Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
Na haya ndiyo majina ya watoto aliozaliwa huko Yerusalemu; Shamua, na Shobabu, na Nathani, na Sulemani;
5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
na Ibhari, na Elishua, na Elpeleti;
6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
na Noga, na Nefegi, na Yafia;
7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
na Elishama, na Eliada, na Elifeleti.
His Victories
8 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it , and went out against them.
Na waliposikia hao Wafilisti ya kwamba Daudi ametiwa mafuta ili awe mfalme juu ya Israeli wote, Wafilisti wote wakapanda kumtafuta Daudi; naye Daudi akasikia, akatoka nje kupigana nao.
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Basi hao Wafilisti walikuwa wamekuja na kuteka nyara katika bonde la Warefai.
10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
Daudi akamwuliza Mungu, kusema, Je! Nipande juu ya Wafilisti! Utawatia mikononi mwangu? Naye Bwana akamwambia, Panda; kwa kuwa nitawatia mikononi mwako.
11 So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
Basi wakapanda mpaka Baal-perasimu, Daudi naye akawapiga huko; Daudi akasema, Bwana amewafurikia adui zangu kwa mkono wangu, kama mafuriko ya maji. Basi wakapaita mahali pale jina lake Baal-perasimu.
12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
Nao wakaiacha miungu yao huko; naye Daudi akaamuru, ikateketezwa kwa moto.
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
Lakini hao Wafilisti wakateka nyara tena mara ya pili bondeni.
14 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
Na Daudi akamwuliza Mungu tena; naye Mungu akamwambia, Hutapanda kuwafuata; uwageukie mbali, ukawajie huko kuielekea miforsadi.
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
Kisha itakuwa utakapoisikia sauti ya kwenda katika vilele vya miforsadi, ndipo utakapokwenda nje vitani; kwa maana ndipo Mungu ametoka mbele yako, awapige jeshi la Wafilisti.
16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
Daudi akafanya kama vile Mungu alivyomwamuru; wakawapiga jeshi la Wafilisti toka Geba mpaka Gezeri.
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
Sifa za Daudi zikafika nchi zote; naye Bwana akawaletea mataifa yote hofu yake.
