2 Samuel 5

BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Vinieron todas las tribus de Israel donde David a Hebrón y le dijeron: «Mira: hueso tuyo y carne tuya somos nosotros.	1 And all the tribes of Israel went to David in Hebron, saying: “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
2 Ya de antes, cuando Saúl era nuestro rey, eras tú el que dirigías las entradas y salidas de Israel. Yahveh te ha dicho: Tú apacentarás a mi pueblo Israel, tú serás el caudillo de Israel».	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.’ ”
3 Vinieron, pues, todos los ancianos de Israel donde el rey, a Hebrón. El rey David hizo un pacto con ellos en Hebrón, en presencia de Yahveh, y ungieron a David como rey de 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.
4 Treinta años tenía cuando comenzó a reinar y reinó cuarenta años.	4 David was a son of thirty years, when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for forty years.
5 Reinó en Hebrón sobre Judá siete años y seis meses. Reinó en Jerusalén sobre todo Israel y sobre Judá 33 años.	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.
6 Marchó el rey con sus hombres sobre Jerusalén contra los jebuseos que habitaban aquella tierra. Dijeron éstos a David: «No entrarás aquí; porque hasta los ciegos y cojos bastan para rechazarte». (Querían decir: no entrará David aquí.)	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.’ ”
7 Pero David conquistó la fortaleza de Sión que es la Ciudad de David.	7 But David seized the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
8 Y dijo David aquel día: «Todo el que quiera atacar a los jebuseos que suba por el canal..., en cuanto a los ciegos y a los cojos, David los aborrece». Por eso se dice: «Ni cojo ni ciego entrarán en la Casa».	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.”
9 David se instaló en la fortaleza y la llamó Ciudad de David. Edificó una muralla en derredor, desde el Milló hacia el interior.	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.
10 David iba medrando y Yahveh el Dios Sebaot estaba con él.	10 And he advanced, prospering and increasing, and the Lord, the God of hosts, was with him.
11 Jiram, rey de Tiro, envió a David mensajeros con maderas de cedro, carpinteros y canteros que construyeron la casa de David.	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.
12 Y David conoció que Yahveh le había confirmado como rey de Israel y que había exaltado su reino a causa de su pueblo Israel.	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.
13 Tomó David más concubinas y mujeres de Jerusalén, después de venir de Hebrón, y le nacieron a David hijos e hijas.	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.
14 Estos son los nombres de los que le nacieron en Jerusalén: Sammúa, Sobab, Natán, Salomón,	14 And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
15 Yibjar, Elisua, Néfeg, Yafía,	15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg,
16 Elisamá, Baalyadá, Elifélet.	16 and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and Elipheleth.
17 Cuando los filisteos oyeron que David había sido ungido rey de Israel, subieron todos en busca de David. Lo supo David y bajó al refugio.	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.
18 Llegaron los filisteos y se desplegaron por el Valle de Refaím.	18 Now the Philistines, arriving, spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.
19 Entonces David consultó a Yahveh diciendo: «¿Debo subir contra los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mis manos?» Respondió Yahveh a David: «Sube, porque ciertamente entregaré a los filisteos en tus manos».	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.”
20 Llegó David a Baal Perasim. Allí los derrotó David y dijo: «Yahveh me ha abierto brecha entre mis enemigos como brecha de aguas». Por eso se llamó aquel lugar Baal Perasim.	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.
21 Ellos abandonaron allí sus ídolos y David y sus hombres se los llevaron.	21 And in that place they left behind their graven images, which David and his men took away.
22 Volvieron a subir los filisteos y se desplegaron por el Valle de Refaím.	22 And the Philistines continued still, so that they ascended and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.
23 David consultó a Yahveh, que le dijo: «No subas contra ellos. Da un rodeo detrás de ellos y atácalos frente a las balsameras.	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.
24 Cuando oigas ruido de pasos en la cima de las balsameras, ataca con decisión porque Yahveh sale delante de ti para derrotar al ejército de los filisteos».	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.”
25 Hizo David lo que Yahveh le ordenaba y batió a los filisteos desde Gabaón hasta la entrada de Guézer.	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.
