2 Samuel 5
1 Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
Vennero allora tutte le tribù d'Israele da Davide in Ebron e gli dissero: «Ecco noi ci consideriamo come tue ossa e tua carne.
2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
Gia prima, quando regnava Saul su di noi, tu conducevi e riconducevi Israele. Il Signore ti ha detto: Tu pascerai Israele mio popolo, tu sarai capo in Israele».
3 So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
Vennero dunque tutti gli anziani d'Israele dal re in Ebron e il re Davide fece alleanza con loro in Ebron davanti al Signore ed essi unsero Davide re sopra Israele.
4 David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
Davide aveva trent'anni quando fu fatto re e regnò quarant'anni.
5 In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
Regnò in Ebron su Giuda sette anni e sei mesi e in Gerusalemme regnò quarantatrè anni su tutto Israele e su Giuda.
6 [One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
Il re e i suoi uomini mossero verso Gerusalemme contro i Gebusei che abitavano in quel paese. Costoro dissero a Davide: «Non entrerai qui: basteranno i ciechi e gli zoppi a respingerti», per dire: «Davide non potrà entrare qui».
7 But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
Ma Davide prese la rocca di Sion, cioè la città di Davide.
8 On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
Davide proclamò in quel giorno: «Chiunque colpirà i Gebusei e li raggiungerà attraverso il canale... Quanto ai ciechi e agli zoppi, sono in odio a Davide». Per questo dicono: «Il cieco e lo zoppo non entreranno nella casa».
9 [After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
Davide abitò nella rocca e la chiamò Città di Davide. Egli vi fece intorno costruzioni, dal Millo verso l'interno.
10 David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
Davide andava sempre crescendo in potenza e il Signore Dio degli eserciti era con lui.
11 [One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
Chiram re di Tirò inviò a Davide messaggeri con legno di cedro, carpentieri e muratori, i quali costruirono una casa a Davide.
12 His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
Davide seppe allora che il Signore lo confermava re di Israele e innalzava il suo regno per amore di Israele suo popolo.
13 After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
Davide prese ancora concubine e mogli di Gerusalemme, dopo il suo arrivo da Ebron: queste generarono a Davide altri figli e figlie.
14 The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
I figli che gli nacquero in Gerusalemme si chiamano Sammùa, Sobàb, Natan e Salomone;
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
Ibcàr, Elisùa, Nèfeg, Iafìa;
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
Elisamà, Eliadà ed Elifèlet.
17 When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
Quando i Filistei vennero a sapere che avevano consacrato Davide re d'Israele, salirono tutti per dargli la caccia, ma appena Davide ne fu informato, discese alla fortezza.
18 The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
Vennero i Filistei e si sparsero nella valle di Rèfaim.
19 David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
Davide consultò il Signore chiedendo: «Devo andare contro i Filistei? Li metterai nelle mie mani?». Il Signore rispose a Davide: «Và pure, perché certo metterò i Filistei nelle tue mani».
20 So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
Davide si recò a Baal-Perazìm e là Davide li sconfisse ed esclamò: «Il Signore ha aperto una breccia tra i nemici davanti a me, come una breccia aperta dalle acque». Per questo chiamò quel luogo Baal-Perazìm.
21 The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
I Filistei abbandonarono là i loro dei e Davide e la sua gente li portarono via.
22 Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
I Filistei salirono poi di nuovo e si sparsero nella valle di Rèfaim.
23 So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
Davide consultò il Signore, il quale gli disse: «Non andare; gira alle loro spalle e piomba su di loro dalla parte dei Balsami.
24 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
Quando udrai un rumore di passi sulle cime dei Balsami, lanciati subito all'attacco, perché allora il Signore uscirà davanti a te per sconfiggere l'esercito dei Filistei».
25 So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
Davide fece come il Signore gli aveva ordinato e sconfisse i Filistei da Gàbaa fino all'ingresso di Ghezer.
