2 Samuele 5 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

5 ¹Mafuko onse a Israeli anabwera kwa Davide ku Heburoni, nati, “Ife ndife fupa lanu ndi mnofu wanu. ²Kale, pamene Sauli anali mfumu yathu, inu ndinu amene munkatsogolera Israeli kutuluka, ndi kuwabweza kwawo. Ndipo Atate wathu anati kwa inu, ‘Iwe udzaweta anthu anga a Israeli, ndipo udzakhala wolamulira pa Israeli.’” ³Akulu onse a Israeli anabwera kwa mfumu ku Heburoni, ndipo mfumu Davide anachita nawo pangano pamaso pa Atate wathu, nadzoza Davide kukhala mfumu ya Israeli.

⁴Davide anali wa zaka makumi atatu pamene anakhala mfumu, ndipo analamulira zaka makumi anai. ⁵Ku Heburoni analamulira Yuda zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, ndipo ku Yerusalemu analamulira Israeli yonse ndi Yuda zaka makumi atatu ndi zitatu.

Davide Agonjetsa Yerusalemu

⁶Ndipo mfumu ndi anthu ake anapita ku Yerusalemu kukathira nkhondo Ayebusi amene anakhala kumeneko. Iwo ananyoza Davide, nati, “Simudzalowa muno; ngakhale osaona ndi olumala angakubwezeni”—poganiza kuti, “Davide sangalowe muno.” ⁷Komabe Davide analanda linga la Ziyoni, ndilo mzinda wa Davide. ⁸Tsiku limenelo Davide anati, “Aliyense amene akantha Myebusi afike ku ngalande ya madzi, akanthe olumala ndi osaona, amene amadedwa ndi moyo wa Davide.” Choncho amati, “Osaona ndi olumala sadzalowa m'nyumba.” ^a a v8 Ngalande ya madzi inali phanga lakuya loima mowongoka limene linkalumikiza mzinda wa kumtunda ndi gwero la madzi la pansi pa nthaka — imeneyi inali njira imene munthu akanadzera polowa mobisa mu Yerusalemu.

⁹Davide anakhazikika mu lingamo, naliti Mzinda wa Davide. Anamanga malo onse ozungulira, kuyambira ku Milo kulowa mkati. ^b b v9 Milo unali mtumbira waukulu wochirikiza kapena malo okwezedwa a dothi amene anali mbali ya zotchinga za Yerusalemu zimene zinalipo kale. ¹⁰Ndipo Davide anapitirira kukula ndi kukula, pakuti Atate wathu, Mulungu wa makamu a kumwamba, anali naye. ¹¹Hiramu mfumu ya Turo anatumiza kwa Davide amithenga, mitengo ya mkungudza, amisiri a matabwa, ndi amisiri a miyala, ndipo anamangira Davide nyumba.

¹²Davide anadziwa kuti Atate wathu anamkhazikitsa kukhala mfumu pa Israeli, ndi kuti anakweza ufumu wa Davide chifukwa cha anthu a Atate wathu, Israeli.

¹³Davide atachoka ku Heburoni, anatenganso azikazi ndi akazi ambiri ochokera ku Yerusalemu, ndipo anabadwiranso ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi ochuluka. ¹⁴Mayina a ana ake amene anamubadwira ku Yerusalemu ndi awa: Samua, Sobabu, Natani, ndi Solomoni, ¹⁵Ibihari, Elisua, Nefegi, Yafiya, ¹⁶Elisama, Eliada, ndi Elifeleti.

Kupambana Kawiri pa Afilisti

¹⁷Afilisti atamva kuti Davide anadzozedwa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli, onse anakwera kudzamufunafuna. Koma Davide anamva zimenezi, natsikira ku linga. ¹⁸Ndipo Afilisti anafika, nabalalika m'chigwa cha Refaimu.

¹⁹Davide anafunsa Atate wathu, nati, “Kodi ndithire nkhondo Afilisti? Kodi mudzawapereka m'manja mwanga?” Ndipo Atate wathu anayankha Davide, nati, “Pita—ndithudi ndidzapereka Afilisti m'manja mwako.”

²⁰Choncho Davide anapita ku Baala-perazimu, nawagonjetsa kumeneko. Iye anati, “Atate wathu wathyola adani anga pamaso panga ngati madzi osefukira othyola.” Choncho anatcha malo amenewo Baala-perazimu. ^c c v20 Baala-perazimu kutanthauza “mwini kuthyola” — Davide anatcha malowo dzina ili chifukwa Atate wathu anathyola adani ake kumeneko ngati madzi osefukira othyoka. ²¹Afilisti anasiya mafano awo kumeneko, ndipo Davide ndi anthu ake anawatenga.

²²Afilisti anabweranso, nabalalika m'chigwa cha Refaimu.

²³Davide atafunsa Atate wathu, Iye anayankha kuti, “Usakwere molunjika. Uwazungulire kumbuyo kwawo, ndi kuwathira nkhondo moyang'anizana ndi mitengo ya basamu. ²⁴Ukangomva phokoso la kuyenda pamwamba pa mitengo ya basamu, fulumira, pakuti pamenepo Atate wako adzakhala watsogola pamaso pako kukakantha msasa wa Afilisti.”

²⁵Choncho Davide anachita monga momwe Atate wathu anamulamulira, nakantha Afilisti kuchokera ku Geba mpaka ku Gezeri.
