Chapter5
1AllthetribesofIsraelcametoDavidinHebronandsaid:＂Hereweare,yourboneandyourflesh.
以色列各支派聚集到赫贝龙，来见达味说：＂看，我们都是你的骨肉。
2Indayspast,whenSaulwasourking,itwasyouwholedtheIsraelitesoutandbroughtthemback.AndtheLORDsaidtoyou,‘YoushallshepherdmypeopleIsraelandshallbecommanderofIsrael.'＂
以前，连撒乌耳当我们的君王时，也是你率领以色列出入征讨；上主曾对你说过：你应牧养我的百姓以色列，作以色列的领袖。＂
3WhenalltheeldersofIsraelcametoDavidinHebron,KingDavidmadeanagreementwiththemtherebeforetheLORD,andtheyanointedhimkingofIsrael.
随后，以色列所有的长老都到赫贝龙来见君王，达味君王就在赫贝龙，当上主的面同他们立了盟约；他们便给达味傅油，立他为以色列王。
4Davidwasthirtyyearsoldwhenhebecameking,andhereignedforfortyyears:
达味登极时已三十岁，做王四十年；
5sevenyearsandsixmonthsinHebronoverJudah,andthirty-threeyearsinJerusalemoverallIsraelandJudah.
在赫贝龙做犹大王，七年零六个月；在耶路撒冷做全以色列和犹大王三十三年。
61ThenthekingandhismensetoutforJerusalemagainsttheJebusiteswhoinhabitedtheregion.Davidwastold,＂Youcannotenterhere:theblindandthelamewilldriveyouaway!＂whichwastheirwayofsaying,＂Davidcannotenterhere.＂
以后，达味和他的人向耶路撒冷进发，攻打住在那地方的耶步斯人，有人告诉达味说：＂你决攻不进去，因为瞎眼瘸腿的也会把你赶走。＂这是说：＂达味决攻不进去。＂
7ButDaviddidtakethestrongholdofZion,whichistheCityofDavid.
但是达味却占领了熙雍山堡，即达味城。
8OnthatdayDavidsaid:＂AllwhowishtoattacktheJebusitesmuststrikeatthemthroughthewatershaft.ThelameandtheblindshallbethepersonalenemiesofDavid.＂Thatiswhyitissaid,＂Theblindandthelameshallnotenterthepalace.＂
那日达味宣布说：＂凡攻打耶步斯人，从水道首先到达味所恼恨的那些瘸腿瞎眼的人那里的，他要升为军长和元帅。＂责鲁雅的儿子约阿布首先上去了，因而成了元帅。但为此有句俗语说：＂有瞎眼瘸腿的在此，人是进不去的！＂
9Davidthendweltinthestronghold,whichwascalledtheCityofDavid;hebuiltuptheareafromMillotothepalace.
达味住在那山堡内，称之为达味城。达味又从米罗往里，四周加建了城墙。
10Davidgrewsteadilymorepowerful,fortheLORDofhostswaswithhim.
达味日渐强盛，上主万军的天主与他同在。
11Hiram,kingofTyre,sentambassadorstoDavid;hefurnishedcedarwood,aswellascarpentersandmasons,whobuiltapalaceforDavid.
提洛王希兰派使臣来见达味，给他送来了香柏木，派来了木匠石匠，为他建造宫室。
12AndDavidknewthattheLORDhadestablishedhimaskingofIsraelandhadexaltedhisruleforthesakeofhispeopleIsrael.
那时，达味知道上主已坚定他为以色列王，并为了自己的百姓以色列，提高了他的王位。
13DavidtookmoreconcubinesandwivesinJerusalemafterhehadcomefromHebron,andmoresonsanddaughterswereborntohiminJerusalem.
达味从赫贝龙迁来以后，在耶路撒冷又娶了妻妾，生了一些子女。
14ThesearethenamesofthosewhowereborntohiminJerusalem:Shammua,Shobab,Nathan,Solomon,
他在耶路撒冷所生儿子的名字如下：沙慕亚、芍巴布、纳堂、撒罗满、
15Ibhar,Elishua,Nepheg,Japhia,
依贝哈尔、厄里叔亚、乃费格、雅非亚、
16Elishama,Baaliada,andEliphelet.
厄里沙玛、厄肋雅达和厄里培肋特。
172WhenthePhilistinesheardthatDavidhadbeenanointedkingofIsrael,theyalltookthefieldinsearchofhim.Onhearingthis,Davidwentdowntotherefuge.
培肋舍特人听说：达味受傅作了以色列王，遂都上来向达味寻衅；达味一听说，便下到堡垒中。
183ThePhilistinescameandoverranthevalleyofRephaim.
培肋舍特人来到后，散布在勒法因平原内。
19DavidinquiredoftheLORD,＂ShallIattackthePhilistines——willyoudeliverthemintomygrip?＂TheLORDrepliedtoDavid,＂Attack,forIwillsurelydeliverthePhilistinesintoyourgrip.＂
那时达味求问上主说：＂我可以上去攻打培肋舍特人吗？你将他们交在我手中吗？＂上主回答达味说：＂你上去，我必将培肋舍特人交在你手中。＂
204DavidthenwenttoBaal-perazim,wherehedefeatedthem.Hesaid,＂TheLORDhasscatteredmyenemiesbeforemelikewatersthathavebrokenfree.＂ThatiswhytheplaceiscalledBaal-perazim.
达味于是来到巴耳培辣亲，在那里击败了他们。达味因此说：＂上主使我的敌人在我面前崩溃，如水破堤。＂为此，后人称这地方为巴耳培辣亲。
21Theyabandonedtheirgodsthere,andDavidandhismencarriedthemaway.
培肋舍特人把自己的神像都遗弃在那里，达味和他的人便将这些神像都带走了。
22ButthePhilistinescameupagainandoverranthevalleyofRephaim.
培肋舍特人又上来，散布在勒法因平原内。
23SoDavidinquiredoftheLORD,whoreplied:＂Youmustnotattackfrontally,butcircletheirrearandmeetthembeforethemastictrees.
达味又求问上主，上主说：＂不要上去，但要绕到他们后方，从桑林那边抄他们的后路。
245Whenyouhearasoundofmarchinginthetopsofthemastictrees,actdecisively,fortheLORDwillhavegoneforthbeforeyoutoattackthecampofthePhilistines.＂
当你听到桑树梢上有脚步声时，你就赶快行动，因为那时正是上主在你前面出击培肋舍特人的军队。＂
25DavidobeyedtheLORD'ScommandandroutedthePhilistinesfromGibeonasfarasGezer.
达味就照上主所命的行了，击杀培肋舍特人，从基贝红直到革则尔。
