2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.
Et venerunt universæ tribus Israel ad David in Hebron, dicentes: Ecce nos, os tuum, et caro tua sumus.
2 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.'"
Sed et heri et nudiustertius cum esset Saul rex super nos, tu eras educens et reducens Israel: dixit autem Dominus ad te: Tu pasces populum meum Israel, et tu eris dux super Israel.
3 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.
Venerunt quoque et seniores Israel ad regem in Hebron, et percussit cum eis rex David fœdus in Hebron coram Domino: unxeruntque David in regem super Israel.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
Filius triginta annorum erat David, cum regnare cœpisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
In Hebron regnavit super Iudam septem annis et sex mensibus: in Ierusalem autem regnavit triginta tribus annis super omnem Israel et Iudam.
6 The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, "You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will repel you"; thinking, "David can't come in here."
Et abiit rex, et omnes viri qui erant cum eo, in Ierusalem, ad Iebusæum habitatorem terræ: dictumque est David ab eis: Non ingredieris huc, nisi abstuleris cæcos et claudos dicentes: Non ingredietur David huc.
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the City of David.
Cepit autem David arcem Sion, hæc est civitas David.
8 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."
Proposuerat enim David in die illa præmium, qui percussisset Iebusæum, et tetigisset domatum fistulas, et abstulisset cæcos et claudos odientes animam David. Idcirco dicitur in proverbio: Cæcus et claudus non intrabunt in templum.
9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.
Habitavit autem David in arce, et vocavit eam, Civitatem David: et ædificavit per gyrum a Mello et intrinsecus.
10 David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.
Et ingrediebatur proficiens atque succrescens, et Dominus Deus exercituum erat cum eo.
11 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.
Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuncios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices lignorum, artificesque lapidum ad parietes: et ædificaverunt domum David.
12 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.
Et cognovit David quoniam confirmasset eum Dominus regem super Israel, et quoniam exaltasset regnum eius super populum suum Israel.
13 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.
Accepit ergo David adhuc concubinas et uxores de Ierusalem, postquam venerat de Hebron: natique sunt David et alii filii et filiæ:
14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
et hæc nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Ierusalem, Samua, et Sobab, et Nathan, et Salomon,
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
et Iebahar, et Elisua, et Nepheg,
16 and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.
et Iaphia, et Elisama, et Elioda, et Eliphaleth.
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.
Audierunt ergo Philisthiim quod unxissent David in regem super Israel: et ascenderunt universi ut quærerent David: quod cum audisset David, descendit in præsidium.
18 Now the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
Philisthiim autem venientes diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.
19 David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" The LORD said to David, "Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your hand."
Et consuluit David Dominum, dicens: Si ascendam ad Philisthiim? Et si dabis eos in manu mea? Et dixit Dominus ad David: Ascende, quia tradens dabo Philisthiim in manu tua.
20 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck 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.
Venit ergo David in Baal Pharasim. Et percussit eos ibi, et dixit: Divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me, sicut dividuntur aquæ. Propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius, Baal Pharasim.
21 And they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.
Et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua: quæ tulit David, et viri eius.
22 The Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
Et addiderunt adhuc Philisthiim ut ascenderent, et diffusi sunt in Valle Raphaim.
23 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.
Consuluit autem David Dominum: Si ascendam contra Philisthæos, et tradas eos in manus meas? Qui respondit: Non ascendas contra eos, sed gyra post tergum eorum, et venies ad eos ex adverso pyrorum.
24 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."
Et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pyrorum, tunc inibis prælium: quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam, ut percutiat castra Philisthiim.
25 David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Geba as far as the approach to Gezer.
Fecit itaque David sicut præceperat ei Dominus, et percussit Philisthiim de Gabaa, usque dum venias Gezer.
