New International Version NIV
1 Allora tutte le tribù d’Israele vennero a trovare Davide a Hebron, e gli dissero: "Ecco, noi siamo tue ossa e tua carne.
1
All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood.
2 Già in passato, quando Saul regnava su noi, eri tu quel che guidavi e riconducevi Israele; e l’Eterno t’ha detto: Tu pascerai il mio popolo d’Israele, tu sarai il principe d’Israele".
2
In the past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the LORD said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’ ”
3 Così tutti gli anziani d’Israele vennero dal re a Hebron, e il re Davide fece alleanza con loro a Hebron in presenza dell’Eterno; ed essi unsero Davide come re d’Israele.
3
When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD, and they anointed David king over Israel.
4 Davide avea trent’anni quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò quarant’anni.
4
David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.
5 A Hebron regnò su Giuda sette anni e sei mesi; e a Gerusalemme regnò trentatre anni su tutto Israele e Giuda.
5
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned over all Israel and Judah thirty-three years.
6 Or il re con la sua gente si mosse verso Gerusalemme contro i Gebusei, che abitavano quel paese. Questi dissero a Davide: "Tu non entrerai qua; giacché i ciechi e gli zoppi te ne respingeranno!"; volendo dire: "Davide non c’entrerà mai".
6
The king and his men marched to Jerusalem to attack the Jebusites, who lived there. The Jebusites said to David, “You will not get in here; even the blind and the lame can ward you off.” They thought, “David cannot get in here.”
7 Ma Davide prese la fortezza di Sion, che è la città di Davide.
7
Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.
8 E Davide disse in quel giorno: "Chiunque batterà i Gebusei giungendo fino al canale, e respingerà gli zoppi ed i ciechi che sono odiati da Davide…" Donde il detto: "Il cieco e lo zoppo non entreranno nella Casa".
8
On that day David had said, “Anyone who conquers the Jebusites will have to use the water shaft to reach those ‘lame and blind’ who are David’s enemies. ” That is why they say, “The ‘blind and lame’ will not enter the palace.”
9 E Davide abitò nella fortezza e la chiamò "la città di Davide"; e vi fece attorno delle costruzioni cominciando da Millo, e nell’interno.
9
David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the terraces inward.
10 Davide andava diventando sempre più grande, e l’Eterno, l’Iddio degli eserciti, era con lui.
10
And he became more and more powerful, because the LORD God Almighty was with him.
11 E Hiram, re di Tiro, inviò a Davide de’ messi, del legname di cedro, dei legnaiuoli e dei muratori, i quali edificarono una casa a Davide.
11
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs and carpenters and stonemasons, and they built a palace for David.
12 Allora Davide riconobbe che l’Eterno lo stabiliva saldamente come re d’Israele e rendeva grande il regno di lui per amore del suo popolo d’Israele.
12
Then David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
13 Davide si prese ancora delle concubine e delle mogli di Gerusalemme quando fu quivi giunto da Hebron, e gli nacquero altri figliuoli e altre figliuole.
13
After he left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
14 Questi sono i nomi dei figliuoli che gli nacquero a Gerusalemme: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Salomone,
14
These are the names of the children born to him there: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nefeg, Jafia,
15
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 Elishama, Eliada, Elifelet.
16
Elishama, Eliada and Eliphelet.
17 Or quando i Filistei ebbero udito che Davide era stato unto re d’Israele, saliron tutti in cerca di lui. E Davide, saputolo, scese alla fortezza.
17
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
18 I Filistei giunsero e si sparsero nella valle dei Refaim.
18
Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim;
19 Allora Davide consultò l’Eterno, dicendo: "Salirò io contro i Filistei? Me li darai tu nelle mani?" L’Eterno rispose a Davide: "Sali; poiché certamente io darò i Filistei nelle tue mani".
19
so David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?” The LORD answered him, “Go, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your hands.”
20 Davide dunque si portò a Baal-Peratsim, dove li sconfisse, e disse: "L’Eterno ha disperso i miei nemici dinanzi a me come si disperge l’acqua". Perciò pose nome a quel luogo: Baal-Peratsim.
20
So David went to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, the LORD has broken out against my enemies before me.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.
21 I Filistei lasciaron quivi i loro idoli, e Davide e la sua gente li portaron via.
21
The Philistines abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them off.
22 I Filistei saliron poi di nuovo e si sparsero nella valle dei Refaim.
22
Once more the Philistines came up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim;
23 E Davide consultò l’Eterno, il quale disse: "Non salire; gira alle loro spalle, e giungerai su loro dirimpetto ai Gelsi.
23
so David inquired of the LORD, and he answered, “Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the poplar trees.
24 E quando udrai un rumor di passi tra le vette de’ gelsi, lanciati subito all’attacco, perché allora l’Eterno marcerà alla tua testa per sconfiggere l’esercito dei Filistei".
24
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move quickly, because that will mean the LORD has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.”
25 Davide fece così come l’Eterno gli avea comandato, e sconfisse i Filistei da Gheba fino a Ghezer.
25
So David did as the LORD commanded him, and he struck down the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
