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.

Hiiram, Tyyron kuningas, lähetti sanansaattajat Daavidin luo, sekä setripuita ja puuseppiä ja kivenhakkaajia rakentamaan hänelle linnaa.

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.

Ja Daavid ymmärsi, että Herra oli vahvistanut hänet Israelin kuninkaaksi, koska hänen kuninkuutensa oli korotettu korkealle Herran kansan Israelin tähden.

3 David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.

Jerusalemissa Daavid vielä otti vaimoja, ja Daavidille syntyi vielä poikia ja tyttäriä.

4 The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

Ja nämä ovat niiden poikien nimet, jotka syntyivät hänelle Jerusalemissa: Sammua, Soobab, Naatan, Salomo,

5 Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

Jibhar, Elisua, Elpelet,

6 Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

Noogah, Nefeg, Jaafia,

7 Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

Elisama, Beeljada ja Elifelet.

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.

Mutta kun filistealaiset kuulivat, että Daavid oli voideltu koko Israelin kuninkaaksi, lähtivät kaikki filistealaiset etsimään Daavidia. Kun Daavid sen kuuli, lähti hän heitä vastaan.

9 The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.

Kun filistealaiset olivat tulleet ja tehneet ryöstöretken Refaimin tasangolle,

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.”

kysyi Daavid Jumalalta: "Menenkö minä filistealaisia vastaan, ja annatko sinä heidät minun käsiini?" Ja Herra sanoi hänelle: "Mene; minä annan heidät sinun käsiisi".

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’].

Niin he menivät Baal-Perasimiin, ja siellä Daavid voitti heidät. Ja Daavid sanoi: "Jumala on murtanut viholliseni minun kädelläni, niinkuin vedet murtavat". Siitä sen paikan nimeksi tuli Baal-Perasim.

12 [As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.

He jättivät siihen jumalansa, ja Daavid käski polttaa ne tulessa.

13 But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.

Mutta filistealaiset tekivät vielä kerran ryöstöretken tasangolle.

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.

Niin Daavid kysyi taas Jumalalta, ja Jumala vastasi hänelle: "Älä mene heidän jälkeensä, vaan kierrä heidät ja hyökkää heidän kimppuunsa balsamipuiden puolelta.

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.”

Ja kun kuulet astunnan kahinan balsamipuiden latvoista, niin käy taisteluun, sillä Jumala on käynyt sinun edelläsi tuhotakseen filistealaisten leirin."

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].

Daavid teki, niinkuin Jumala oli häntä käskenyt, ja niin he voittivat filistealaisten sotajoukon ja ajoivat heitä takaa Gibeonista aina Geseriin saakka.

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.

Niin Daavidin maine levisi kaikkiin maihin, ja Herra nosti kaikissa kansoissa pelon häntä kohtaan.
