King over all Israel
1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
Ndipo kabila zote za Israeli wakamwendea Daudi huko Hebroni, wakasema naye, wakinena, Tazama, sisi tu mfupa wako na nyama yako.
2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
Zamani za kale, hapo Sauli alipokuwa mfalme juu yetu, wewe ndiwe uliyewaongoza Israeli watoke nje, na kuingia ndani. Naye Bwana akakuambia, Wewe utawalisha watu wangu Israeli, nawe utakuwa mkuu juu ya Israeli.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
Basi wazee wote wa Israeli wakamwendea mfalme huko Hebroni, naye mfalme Daudi akapatana nao huko Hebroni mbele za Bwana; wakamtia Daudi mafuta awe mfalme juu ya Israeli.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Daudi alikuwa amepata miaka thelathini alipoanza kutawala, akatawala miaka arobaini.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
Huko Hebroni alitawala miaka saba na miezi sita; na katika Yerusalemu alitawala miaka thelathini na tatu juu ya Israeli wote na Yuda.
Capture of Jerusalem
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.
Kisha mfalme na watu wake wakaenda Yerusalemu ili kupigana na Wayebusi, wenyeji wa nchi ile; hao ndio waliomwambia Daudi, wakisema, Usipowaondoa vipofu, na viwete, hutaingia humu kamwe; huku wakidhania ya kuwa Daudi hawezi kuingia humo.
7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
Lakini Daudi aliipiga ngome ya Sayuni; huu ndio mji wa Daudi.
8 And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain . Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
Naye Daudi alisema siku hiyo, Yeye atakayewapiga Wayebusi, na apande kwenye mfereji wa maji, na kuwapiga viwete, na hao vipofu, ambao roho yake Daudi inawachukia. Kwa sababu hii watu husema, Wako vipofu na viwete hawawezi kuingia nyumbani.
9 So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
Basi Daudi akakaa ndani ya ngome hiyo, akaiita mji wa Daudi. Kisha Daudi akajenga toka Milo na pande za ndani.
10 And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.
Naye Daudi akazidi kuwa mkuu; kwa maana Bwana, Mungu wa majeshi, alikuwa pamoja naye.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.
Kisha Hiramu, mfalme wa Tiro, akatuma wajumbe kwa Daudi, akampelekea na mierezi, na maseremala, na waashi; nao wakamjengea Daudi nyumba.
12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
Akajua Daudi ya kwamba Bwana amemweka imara awe mfalme juu ya Israeli, na ufalme wake ameutukuza kwa ajili ya watu wake, Israeli.
13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
Naye Daudi akazidi kujitwalia masuria na wake huko Yerusalemu baada ya kutoka Hebroni; wakazaliwa zaidi kwa Daudi wana na binti.
14 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Na haya ndiyo majina ya hao waliozaliwa kwake huko Yerusalemu; Shamua, na Shobabu, na Nathani, na Sulemani,
15 Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
na Ibhari, na Elishua; na Nefegi, na Yafia;
16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
na Elishama, na Eliada, na Elifeleti.
17 But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it , and went down to the hold.
Na hao Wafilisti waliposikia kwamba wamemtia Daudi mafuta ili awe mfalme juu ya Israeli, Wafilisti wote wakapanda kumtafuta Daudi; naye Daudi akapata habari, akashuka akaenda ngomeni.
18 The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Basi Wafilisti walikuwa wamekuja na kujitawanya bondeni mwa Warefai.
19 And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
Basi Daudi akauliza kwa Bwana, akisema, Je! Nipande juu ya Wafilisti? Utawatia mkononi mwangu? Naye Bwana akamwambia Daudi, Panda; kwa kuwa hakika nitawatia Wafilisti mikononi mwako.
20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
Basi Daudi akaja Baal-perasimu, naye Daudi akawapiga huko; akasema, Bwana amewafurikia adui zangu mbele yangu, kama mafuriko ya maji. Basi akapaita mahali pale Baal-perasimu.
21 And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
Nao wakaziacha sanamu zao huko, na Daudi na watu wake wakaziondolea mbali.
22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Lakini wakapanda hao Wafilisti tena mara ya pili, wakajitawanya bondeni mwa Warefai.
23 And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
Naye Daudi alipouliza kwa Bwana, alisema, Usipande; zunguka nyuma yao, ukawajie huko mbele ya miforsadi.
24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
Kisha itakuwa, hapo utakapoisikia sauti ya kwenda katika vilele vya miforsadi, ndipo nawe ujitahidi; kwa maana ndipo Bwana ametoka mbele yako awapige jeshi la Wafilisti.
25 And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
Ndivyo alivyotenda Daudi, vile vile kama Bwana alivyomwagiza; naye akawapiga Wafilisti toka Geba hata ujapo Gezeri.
