1 Chronicles 14
1 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
Hiramu mfumu ya ku Turo inatumiza amithenga kwa Davide pamodzi ndi mitengo ya mkungudza ndiponso amisiri a miyala ndi amisiri a matabwa kuti adzamumangire nyumba yaufumu.
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.
Choncho Davide anazindikira kuti Yehova wamukhazikitsa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli ndipo wakuza kwambiri ufumu wake chifukwa cha anthu ake, Aisraeli.
3 And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
Davide anakwatira akazi ena ambiri ku Yerusalemu ndipo anabereka ana aamuna ndi aakazi ambiri.
4 Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
Mayina a ana amene anaberekera ku Yerusalemu anali awa: Samua, Sobabu, Natani, Solomoni,
5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
Ibihari, Elisua, Elipeleti,
6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Noga, Nefegi, Yafiya,
7 And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
Elisama, Beeliada ndi Elifeleti.
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.
Afilisti atamva kuti Davide wadzozedwa kukhala mfumu ya dziko lonse la Israeli, iwo anapita mwamphamvu kukamusakasaka. Koma Davide atamva zimenezi anapita kukakumana nawo.
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Ndipo Afilisti anabwera ndi kulanda zinthu mʼChigwa cha Refaimu.
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.
Davide anafunsa Mulungu kuti, “Kodi ndipite kukathira nkhondo Afilisti? Kodi mukawapereka mʼmanja mwanga?” Yehova anamuyankha kuti, “Pita, Ine ndidzawapereka mʼmanja 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.
Choncho Davide ndi anthu ake anapita ku Baala-Perazimu ndi kugonjetsa Afilistiwo. Iye anati, “Monga amasefukira madzi, Mulungu waphwanya adani anga ine ndikuona.” Motero anawatcha malowa Baala Perazimu.
12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
Afilisti anasiya milungu yawo kumeneko ndipo Davide analamulira kuti itenthedwe ndi moto.
13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
Nthawi inanso Afilisti anadzalanda katundu mu Chigwamo.
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.
Choncho Davide anafunsa Mulungu ndipo Mulunguyo anayankha kuti, “Usapite molunjika, koma uzungulire kumbuyo kwawo. Ukawathire nkhondo patsogolo pa mitengo ya mkandankhuku.
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.
Mukakangomva phokoso pa msonga za mitengo ya mkandankhuku, mukapite kukamenyana nawo, chifukwa izi zikasonyeza kuti Mulungu ali patsogolo panu kukantha ankhondo a Afilisti.”
16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
Kotero Davide anachita zimene Mulungu anamulamulira ndipo anakantha ankhondo a Afilisti njira yonse kuchokera ku Gibiyoni mpaka ku Gezeri.
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
Choncho mbiri ya Davide inafalikira dziko lonse, ndipo Yehova anachititsa kuti mayiko ena azimuopa.
