¹Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

¹[Ny nanosorana an'i Davida ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely rehetra, sy ny nahazoany an'i Jerosalema ho renivohitry ny fanjakany] Dia tonga tao amin'i Davida tao Hebrona ny firenen'Isiraely rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay, fa taolanao sy nofonao.

²Even aforetime, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.

²Fa hatry ny fony fahiny ihany koa, raha mbola nanjaka taminay aza Saoly, dia ianao no mpitarika ny Isiraely nivoaka sy niditra; ary Jehovah efa nilaza taminao hoe: Hianao no ho mpiandry ny Isiraely oloko, ary ianao no ho mpanapaka azy.

³And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel.

³Eny, tonga tao amin'ny mpanjaka tao Hebrona ny loholon'ny Isiraely rehetra, ary Davida mpanjaka nanao fanekena taminy tao Hebrona teo anatrehan'i Jehovah; ary dia nanosotra an'i Davida ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely izy.

⁴David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.

⁴Telo-polo taona Davida fony izy vao nanjaka, ary nanjaka efa-polo taona izy.

⁵In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

⁵Tao Hebrona no nanjakany tamin'ny Joda fito taona sy enim-bolana; ary tany Jerosalema no nanjakany tamin'ny Isiraely sy ny Joda rehetra telo amby telo-polo taona.

⁶And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; and they spoke to David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither, but the blind and the lame will drive thee back; as much as to say, David will not come in hither.

⁶Ary ny mpanjaka sy ny olony nankany Jerosalema hiady amin'ny Jebosita tompon-tany, ary hoy izy ireo tamin'i Davida: Tsy ho tafiditra eto ianao; fa na dia ny jamba ny mandringa aza dia hahasakana anao ka hanao hoe: Tsy ho tafiditra eto Davida.[Na: ary ny heviny tamin'izany dia toy ny manao hoe:]

⁷But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.

⁷Kanjo afak'i Davida ihany ny batery fiarovana, dia Ziona (Tanànan'i Davida izany).

⁸And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites and gets up to the watercourse, and the lame and the blind hated of David's soul ...! Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

⁸Ary hoy Davida tamin'izany andro izany: Izay mamely ny Jebosita, dia aoka hananika ho eo amin'ny riana ka hamely, ny mandringa sy ny jamba izay halan'ny fon'i Davida. Koa dia mby am-pitenenana hoe: Izay jamba mandringa tsy ho tafiditra ao an-trano.

⁹So David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from the Millo and inward.

⁹Dia nitoetra tao anatin'ny batery fiarovana Davida, ary ny anarany nataony hoe: Tanànan'i Davida. Ary narafitr'i Davida ny manodidina hatrany Milo mbamin'ny ao anatiny.[Heb. fiarovana]

¹⁰And David became continually greater; and Jehovah the God of hosts was with him.

¹⁰Koa dia nandroso sy nihalehibe Davida, fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, no nomba azy.

¹¹And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.

¹¹[Ny amin'ny lapan'i Davida, sy ny vadiny aman-janany] Ary Hirama, mpanjakan'i Tyro, naniraka olona tany amin'i Davida nampanatitra hazo sedera ary nandefa mpandrafitra sy tambato; dia nanao trano ho an'i Davida ireo.

¹²And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom because of his people Israel.

¹²Dia fantatr'i Davida fa Jehovah efa nampitoetra azy ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely ka nanandratra ny fanjakany noho ny amin'ny Isiraely olony.

¹³And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

¹³Ary Davida mbola naka vaditsindrano sy vady koa tany Jerosalema, rehefa tonga avy tany Hebrona izy; ary dia nisy zanakalahy sy zanakavavy koa naterak'i Davida.

¹⁴And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

¹⁴Ary izao no anaran'ny naterany tany Jerosalema: Samoa sy Sobaba sy Natana sy Solomona

¹⁵and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

¹⁵sy Jibara sy Elisoa sy Nafega sy Jafia

¹⁶and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.

¹⁶sy Elisama sy Eliada ary Elifeleta.

¹⁷And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went down to the stronghold.

¹⁷[Ny nandresen'i Davida ny Filistina] Koa nony ren'ny Filistina fa efa nohosoran'ny olona ho mpanjakan'ny Isiraely Davida, dia niakatra hitady azy ny Filistina rehetra; fa raha ren'i Davida izany dia nidina tao amin'ny batery fiarovana izy.

¹⁸And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁸Ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin'ny Lohasahan'ny Refaita.

¹⁹And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.

¹⁹Ary Davida nanontany tamin'i Jehovah hoe: Hiakatra hamely ny Filistina va aho? Hatolotrao eo an-tanako va izy? Dia hoy Jehovah tamin'i Davida: Miakara, fa hatolotro eo an-tananao tokoa ny Filistina.

²⁰And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah has broken in upon mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

²⁰Ary Davida tonga tao Bala-perazima ka namely ireo tao, dia hoy izy: Jehovah efa namaky ny fahavaloko teo anoloako hipariaka toy ny rano vaky; koa izany no nanaovany ny anaran'izany tany izany hoe Bala-perazima.[Bala-perazima = Tany nahavakiana]

²¹And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.

²¹Ary nilaozany tao ny sampiny, ka dia lasan'i Davida sy ny olony ireny.

²²And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

²²Ary niakatra indray ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin'ny Lohasahan'ny Refaita.

²³And David inquired of Jehovah; and he said, Thou shalt not go up; turn round behind them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.

²³Ary nanontany tamin'i Jehovah Davida, ka novaliany hoe: Aza mandeha; fa hodidino avy eo aoriana izy, ka ho tonga eo aminy ianao eo amin'ny tandrifin'ny hazo balsama.

²⁴And it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then will Jehovah have gone forth before thee, to smite the army of the Philistines.

²⁴Ary raha toa mahare fingadongadon'olona eny amin'ny tendron'ny hazo balsama ianao, dia faingàna; fa amin'izay no efa miainga mialoha anao Jehovah hamely ny miaramilan'ny Filistina.Ary dia nanao araka ny nandidian'i Jehovah azy Davida ka dia namely ny Filistina hatrany Geba ka hatrao akaikin'i Gazera izy.

²⁵And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gezer.

²⁵Ary dia nanao araka ny nandidian'i Jehovah azy Davida ka dia namely ny Filistina hatrany Geba ka hatrao akaikin'i Gazera izy.
