1 Chronicles 14
1 One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
Hiram bụ eze Taịa zitere Devid ndị ozi, na ndị ọkwa ǹka osisi na ndị na-edo nkume, ka ha nyere Devid aka iwu ụlọeze ya. O nyekwara ya osisi sida o ji ewu ụlọ ahụ.
2 [When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
Devid ghọtara na Onyenwe anyị emeela ka o guzosie ike dịka eze ndị Izrel, na ebuliela alaeze ya elu nke ukwuu nʼihi ndị ya Izrel.
3 David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
Devid lụrụ ndị inyom ọzọ mgbe o jere biri na Jerusalem. Nke a mere ka ọ mụọ ọtụtụ ụmụ nwoke na ụmụ nwanyị.
4 The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Ndị a bụkwa aha ụmụ a mụụrụ ya nʼebe ahụ: Shamua, Shobab, Netan, Solomọn,

8 When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
Mgbe ndị Filistia nụrụ na eteela Devid mmanụ ị bụ eze ndị Izrel niile, ha pụrụ nʼigwe ha ịchọ ya. Ma Devid nụrụ maka ya, jikere pụọ izute ha.
9 The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
Ma ndị Filistia bịara, bukọrọ ihe niile dị na Ndagwurugwu Refaim.
10 David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
Devid jụrụ Chineke ase sị, “Ọ bụ m gaa buso ndị Filistia agha? Ị ga-enyefe ha nʼaka m?” Onyenwe anyị zara sị ya, “Gaa, aga m enyefe ha nʼaka gị.”
11 So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
Ya mere, Devid na ndị ikom ya gara Baal-Perazim, meriekwa ha nʼebe ahụ. O kwuru sị, “Chineke enupula megide ndị iro m site nʼaka m, dịka idee mmiri si enupu.” Nʼihi ya, a kpọrọ ebe ahụ Baal Perazim.
12 [As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
Ndị Filistia hapụrụ chi niile ha nʼebe ahụ, Devid nyere iwu ka e suo ha niile ọkụ.
13 But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
Ndị Filistia bukwara agha bịa na ndagwurugwu ahụ ọzọ.
14 So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
Nʼihi nke a, Devid jụrụ Chineke ase ọzọ. Chineke sịrị ya, “Esitekwala nʼihu buso ha agha, kama gbaa ha gburugburu, buso ha agha na ncherita ihu osisi balsam ndị ahụ.
15 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
Ngwangwa ị nụrụ ụda ikiri ụkwụ nʼelu osisi balsam ndị ahụ, mgbe ahụ ka unu ga-apụ ibu agha, nʼihi na nke a pụtara na Chineke eburula unu ụzọ pụọ, itigbu ndị agha Filistia.”
16 So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
Devid mere dịka Chineke nyere ya nʼiwu. Ha tigburu ndị agha Filistia site na Gibiọn ruo Gaza.
17 So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
Ya mere, aha Devid bidoro na-ewu ewu; Onyenwe anyị tinyekwara ụjọ ya nʼobi mba niile.
