¹And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

¹[Ny lapa nataon'i Davida, sy ny anaran'ny zanany] Ary Hirama, mpanjakan'i Tyro, naniraka olona tany amin'i Davida sady nampanatitra hazo sedera ary nandefa mpanao trano vato sy mpandrafitra hanao trano ho azy.

²And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, because of his people Israel.

²Dia fantatr'i Davida fa Jehovah efa nampitoetra azy ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, ka voasandratra ny fanjakany noho ny amin'ny Isiraely olony.

³And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begot more sons and daughters.

³Ary Davida nampaka-bady koa tany Jerosalema ka niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy.

⁴And these are the names of the children which he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

⁴Ary izao no anaran'ny zanany naterany tany Jerosalema: Samoa sy Sobaba sy Natana sy Solomona

⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,

⁵sy Jibara sy Elisoa sy Elipeleta

⁶and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

⁶sy Noga sy Nafega sy Jafia

⁷and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

⁷sy Elisama sy Seliada ary Elifeleta.

⁸And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went out against them.

⁸[Ny nandresen'i Davida ny Filistina] Koa nony ren'ny Filistina fa efa nohosorana ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely rehetra Davida, dia niakatra hitady azy ny Filistina rehetra. Koa raha ren'i Davida izany, dia nivoaka hiady taminy izy.

⁹And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

⁹Ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin'ny Lohasahan'ny Refaita.

¹⁰And David inquired of God saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up; and I will give them into thy hand.

¹⁰Ary Davida nanontany tamin'Andriamanitra hoe: Hiakatra hamely ny Filistina va aho? Hatolotrao eo an-tanako va izy? Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Miakara, fa hatolotro eo an-tananao izy.

¹¹And they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by my hand, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

¹¹Dia niakatra nankao Bala-perazima Davida ka namely azy teo; dia hoy izy: Ny tanako no namakian'Andriamanitra ny fahavaloko hipariaka toy ny rano vaky; koa izany no nanaovany ny anaran'izany tany izany hoe Bala-perazima.[Bala-perazima = Tany nahavakiana]

¹²And they left their gods there; and David commanded, and they were burned with fire.

¹²Dia nilaozan'ireny teo ireo andriamaniny, ka dia nasain'i Davida nodorana tamin'ny afo.

¹³And the Philistines yet again spread themselves in the valley.

¹³Ary tonga indray ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny an-dohasaha indray.

¹⁴And David inquired again of God; and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn round them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.

¹⁴Dia nanontany tamin'Andriamanitra indray Davida ka novaliany hoe: Aza mandeha hanenjika azy; fa mivilia azy, dia mandehana, fa ho tonga eo aminy ianao eo amin'ny tandrifin'ny hazo balsama.

¹⁵And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God will have gone forth before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.

¹⁵Ary raha toa mahare fingadongadon'olona eny amin'ny tendron'ny hazo balsama ianao, dia miaingà amin'izay hiady; fa amin'izay no efa miainga mialoha anao Andriamanitra hamely ny miaramilan'ny Filistina.

¹⁶And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

¹⁶Ary dia nanao araka izay nandidian'Andriamanitra azy Davida, ka dia namely ny miaramilan'ny Filistina hatrany Gibeona ka hatrany Gazera izy.Ary ny lazan'i Davida niely teny amin'ny tany rehetra; ary nataon'i Jehovah nahazo ny firenena rehetra ny tahotra an'i Davida.

¹⁷And the fame of David went out into all lands; and Jehovah brought the fear of him upon all the nations.

¹⁷Ary ny lazan'i Davida niely teny amin'ny tany rehetra; ary nataon'i Jehovah nahazo ny firenena rehetra ny tahotra an'i Davida.
