2 Samuel 5

1 And all the tribes of Israel went to David in Hebron, saying: “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

Pagkatapos pumunta ang lahat ng lipi ng Israel kay David sa Hebron at sinabi, “Tingnan mo, kami ay iyong laman at buto.

2 Moreover, yesterday and the day before, when Saul was king over us, you were the one leading out and leading back Israel. Then the Lord said to you, ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over Israel.’”

Sa nakaraang panahon, nang si Saul pa ang hari sa ating lahat, ikaw itong nangunguna sa hukbo ng Israelita. Sinabi ni Yahweh sa iyo, 'Magiging pastol ka ng aking bayan ng Israel, at magiging pinuno ka ng buong Israel.'''

3 Also, the elders of Israel went to the king at Hebron, and king David struck a pact with them at Hebron in the sight of the Lord. And they anointed David as king over Israel.

Kaya dumating ang lahat na nakatatanda ng Israel sa hari ng Hebron, at gumawa si Haring David ng isang kasunduan sa kanila sa harapan ni Yahweh. Hinirang nila si David na maging hari ng buong Israel.

4 David was a son of thirty years, when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for forty years.

Tatlumpung taong gulang si David nang nagsimula siyang maghari, at naghari siya ng apatnapung taon.

5 In Hebron, he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months. Then in Jerusalem, he reigned for thirty-three years over all of Israel and Judah.

Sa Hebron naghari siya sa buong Juda ng pitong taon at anim na buwan, at sa Jerusalem naghari siya ng tatlumpu't tatlong taon sa buong Israel at Juda.

6 And the king, and all the men who were with him, went away to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. And it was said to David by them, “You shall not enter here, unless you will take away the blind and the lame, who say, ‘David shall not enter here.’”

Pumunta ang hari at ang mga tauha niya sa Jerusalem laban sa mga Jebuseo, ang mga mamamayan ng lupain. Sinabi nila kay David, “Huwag kang babalik dito maliban kung papaalisin ka sa pamamagitan ng mga bulag at lumpo. Hindi makakapunta dito si David.”

7 But David seized the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.

Gayunpaman, nasakop ni David ang kuta ng Sion, na ngayon ay lungsod na ni David.

8 For David had proposed, on that day, a reward to him who had struck the Jebusites and who had reached to the gutters of the rooftops, and who had taken away the blind and the lame that hated the soul of David. Therefore, it is said in the proverb, “The blind and the lame shall not enter into the temple.”

Sa oras na iyon sinabi ni David, 'Sinuman ang sasalakay sa mga taga-Jebus ay kailangang pumunta sa pamamagitan ng tubig at aabutin nila ang 'lumpo at bulag,' ang mga galit kay David.” kaya sinabi ng mga tao iyan, “Hindi makakapunta ang 'bulag at lumpo' sa palasyo.”

9 Then David lived in the stronghold, and he called it: the City of David. And he built it up on all sides, from Millo and inward.

Kaya nanirahan si David sa kuta at tinawag itong siyudad ni David. Pinatibay niya ang palibot nito, mula sa terasa patungong loob.

10 And he advanced, prospering and increasing, and the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.

Naging lubos na makapangyarihan si David dahil kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng mga hukbo, ay kasama niya.

11 Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, with cedar wood, and with builders of wood and builders of stone, in order to make walls. And they built a house for David.

Pagkatapos nagpadala ng mga mensahero si Hiram hari ng Tyre kay David, at mga punong sedro, karpintero, at mason. Nagtayo sila ng bahay para kay David.

12 And David knew that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom over his people Israel.

Alam ni David na itinalaga siya ni Yahweh bilang hari sa buong Israel, at sa gayon naging dakila ang kaniyang kaharian para sa kapakanan ng kaniyang bayang Israel.

13 Then David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had arrived from Hebron. And other sons as well as daughters were born to David.

Pagkatapos nilisan ni David ang Hebron at pumunta sa Jerusalem, kumuha siya ng maraming kerida at mga asawa sa Jerusalem, at maraming mga lalaking anak at mga babaeng anak ang ipinanganak sa kaniya.

14 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga bata na ipinanganak sa kaniya sa Jerusalem: Sammua, Sobab, Natan, Solomon,

15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg,

Ibhar, Elisua, Nefeg, Jafia,

16 and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and Elipheleth.

Elisama, Eliada, at Elifelet.

17 Then the Philistines heard that they had anointed David as king over Israel. And they all ascended, so that they might seek David. And when David had heard of it, he descended to a stronghold.

Ngayon nang mabalitaan ng mga Filisteo na nahirang na si David bilang hari ng buong Israel, lumabas silang lahat para makita siya. Pero nabalitaan ni David ito at bumaba siya sa kuta.

18 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.

Ngayon dumating ang mga Filisteo at nagsikalat sa lambak ng Refaim.

19 And David consulted the Lord, saying: “Shall I ascend to the Philistines? And will you give them into my hand?” And the Lord said to David: “Ascend. For I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand.”

Pagkatapos humingi si David ng tulong mula kay Yahweh. Sinabi niya, “Kailangan ko bang salakayin ang Filisteo? Bibigyan mo ba ako ng tagumpay laban sa kanila?” Sinabi ni Yahweh kay David, “Salakayin mo, dahil siguradong bibigyan kita ng tagumpay laban sa Filisteo.”

20 Therefore, David went to Baal-perazim. And he struck them there. And he said, “The Lord has divided my enemies before me, just as the waters are divided.” Because of this, the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.

Kaya sinalakay ni David ang Baal Perazim, at doon tinalo niya sila. Sinabi niya, “Pinatumba ni Yahweh ang aking mga kalaban sa aking harapan katulad ng isang rumaragasang tubig baha.” Kaya naging Baal Perazim ang pangalan ng lugar na iyon.

21 And in that place they left behind their graven images, which David and his men took away.

Iniwan ng mga taga-Filisteo ang kanilang mga diyus-diyosan doon, at dinala ni David at kaniyang mga tauhan ang mga ito.

22 And the Philistines continued still, so that they ascended and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.

Pagkatapos umakyat muli ang mga taga-Filisteo at nagsikalat sa lambak ng Refaim.

23 Then David consulted the Lord, “Shall I ascend against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hands?” And he responded: “You shall not ascend against them; instead, circle behind their back. And you shall come to them from the side opposite the balsam trees.

Kaya muling humingi si David ng tulong mula kay Yahweh, at sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Hindi mo dapat salakayin ang kanilang harapan, pero palibutan mo ang likuran nila at lapitan mo sila sa pamamagitan ng mga kahoy ng balsam.

24 And when you hear the sound of something going forth from the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall begin the battle. For then the Lord will go forth, before your face, so that he may strike the army of the Philistines.”

Kapag narinig mo ang tunog ng pag-ihip ng hangin sa itaas ng mga punong balsam, salakayin mo sila nang may lakas. Gawin mo ito dahil pangungunahan ka ni Yahweh para salakayin ang hukbong ng mga taga-Filisteo.''

25 And so, David did just as the Lord had instructed him. And he struck down the Philistines, from Gibeon until you arrive at Gezer.

Kaya ginawa ni David ang inutos ni Yahweh sa kaniya. Pinatay niya ang mgataga-Filisteo mula sa Geba hanggang sa Gezer.
