Samuelis II 5

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et venerunt universæ tribus Israël ad David in Hebron, dicentes : Ecce nos os tuum et caro tua sumus.	1 All the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said: "Here we are, your bone and your flesh.
2 Sed et heri et nudiustertius cum esset Saul rex super nos, tu eras educens et reducens Israël : dixit autem Dominus ad te : Tu pasces populum meum Israël, et tu eris dux super Israël.	2 In days past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led the Israelites out and brought them back. And the LORD said to you, 'You shall shepherd my people Israel and shall be commander of Israel.'"
3 Venerunt quoque et seniores Israël ad regem in Hebron, et percussit cum eis rex David fœdus in Hebron coram Domino : unxeruntque David in regem super Israël.	3 When all the elders of Israel came to David in Hebron, King David made an agreement with them there before the LORD, and they anointed him king of Israel.
4 Filius triginta annorum erat David cum regnare cœpisset, et quadraginta annis regnavit.	4 David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned for forty years:
5 In Hebron regnavit super Judam septem annis et sex mensibus : in Jerusalem autem regnavit triginta tribus annis super omnem Israël et Judam.	5 seven years and six months in Hebron over Judah, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem over all Israel and Judah.
6 Et abiit rex, et omnes viri qui erant cum eo, in Jerusalem, ad Jebusæum habitatorem terræ : dictumque est David ab eis : Non ingredieris huc, nisi abstuleris cæcos et claudos dicentes : Non ingredietur David huc.	6 Then the king and his men set out for Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the region. David was told, "You cannot enter here: the blind and the lame will drive you away!" which was their way of saying, "David cannot enter here."
7 Cepit autem David arcem Sion : hæc est civitas David.	7 But David did take the stronghold of Zion, which is the City of David.
8 Proposuerat enim David in die illa præmium, qui percussisset Jebusæum, et tetigisset domatum fistulas, et abstulisset cæcos et claudos odientes animam David. Idcirco dicitur in proverbio : Cæcus et claudus non intrabunt in templum.	8 On that day David said: "All who wish to attack the Jebusites must strike at them through the water shaft. The lame and the blind shall be the personal enemies of David." That is why it is said, "The blind and the lame shall not enter the palace."
9 Habitavit autem David in arce, et vocavit eam civitatem David : et ædificavit per gyrum a Mello et intrinsecus.	9 David then dwelt in the stronghold, which was called the City of David; he built up the area from Millo to the palace.
10 Et ingrediebatur proficiens atque succrescens, et Dominus Deus exercituum erat cum eo.	10 David grew steadily more powerful, for the LORD of hosts was with him.
11 Misit quoque Hiram rex Tyri nuntios ad David, et ligna cedrina, et artifices lignorum, artificesque lapidum ad parietes : et ædificaverunt domum David.	11 Hiram, king of Tyre, sent ambassadors to David; he furnished cedar wood, as well as carpenters and masons, who built a palace for David.
12 Et cognovit David quoniam confirmasset eum Dominus regem super Israël, et quoniam exaltasset regnum ejus super populum suum Israël.	12 And David knew that the LORD had established him as king of Israel and had exalted his rule for the sake of his people Israel.
13 Accepit ergo David adhuc concubinas et uxores de Jerusalem, postquam venerat de Hebron : natique sunt David et alii filii et filiæ :	13 David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem after he had come from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born to him in Jerusalem.
14 et hæc nomina eorum, qui nati sunt ei in Jerusalem : Samua, et Sobab, et Nathan, et Salomon,	14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 et Jebahar, et Elisua, et Nepheg,	15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 et Japhia, et Elisama, et Elioda, et Eliphaleth.	16 Elishama, Baaliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Audierunt ergo Philisthiim quod unxissent David in regem super Israël, et ascenderunt universi ut quærerent David : quod cum audisset David, descendit in præsidium.	17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king of Israel, they all took the field in search of him. On hearing this, David went down to the refuge.
18 Philisthiim autem venientes diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim.	18 The Philistines came and overran the valley of Rephaim.
19 Et consuluit David Dominum, dicens : Si ascendam ad Philisthiim ? et si dabis eos in manu mea ? Et dixit Dominus ad David : Ascende, quia tradens dabo Philisthiim in manu tua.	19 David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I attack the Philistines--will you deliver them into my grip?" The LORD replied to David, "Attack, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your grip."
20 Venit ergo David in Baal Pharasim : et percussit eos ibi, et dixit : Divisit Dominus inimicos meos coram me, sicut dividuntur aquæ. Propterea vocatum est nomen loci illius, Baal Pharasim.	20 David then went to Baal-perazim, where he defeated them. He said, "The LORD has scattered my enemies before me like waters that have broken free." That is why the place is called Baal-perazim.
21 Et reliquerunt ibi sculptilia sua, quæ tulit David et viri ejus.	21 They abandoned their gods there, and David and his men carried them away.
22 Et addiderunt adhuc Philisthiim ut ascenderent, et diffusi sunt in valle Raphaim.	22 But the Philistines came up again and overran the valley of Rephaim.
23 Consuluit autem David Dominum : Si ascendam contra Philisthæos, et tradas eos in manus meas ? Qui respondit : Non ascendas contra eos, sed gyra post tergum eorum, et venies ad eos ex adverso pyrorum.	23 So David inquired of the LORD, who replied: "You must not attack frontally, but circle their rear and meet them before the mastic trees.
24 Et cum audieris sonitum gradientis in cacumine pyrorum, tunc inibis prælium : quia tunc egredietur Dominus ante faciem tuam, ut percutiat castra Philisthiim.	24 When you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mastic trees, act decisively, for the LORD will have gone forth before you to attack the camp of the Philistines."
25 Fecit itaque David sicut præceperat ei Dominus, et percussit Philisthiim de Gabaa usque dum venias Gezer.	25 David obeyed the LORD'S command and routed the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
