¹[Ny nanosorana an'i Davida ho mpanjaka handimby an'i Saoly, sy ny nahazoany an'i Jerosalema] Ary dia nivory teo amin'i Davida tao Hebrona ny Isiraely rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay, fa taolanao sy nonao.

¹And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying, `Lo, thy bone and thy flesh [are] we;

²Hatry ny fahiny ihany koa, fony Saoly mbola nanjaka aza, dia ianao ihany no mpitarika ny Isiraely nivoaka sy niditra; ary hoy Jehovah Andriamanitrao taminao; Hianao no ho mpiandry ny Isiraely oloko, ary ianao no ho mpanapaka azy.

²even in time past, even in Saul`s being king, it is thou who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art leader over My people Israel.`

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

³And all the elders of Israel come in unto the king to Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.

⁴Ary Davida sy ny Isiraely rehetra nankany Jerosalema (Jebosa izany); ary tao ny Jebosita tompon-tany.

⁴And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem — it [is] Jebus — and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land.

⁵Ary hoy ny mponina tao Jebosa tamin'i Davida: Tsy ho tafiditra eto ianao. Kanjo afak'i Davida ihany ny batery fiarovana, dia Ziona (Tanànan'i Davida izany).

⁵And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, `Thou dost not come in hither;` and David captureth the fortress of Zion — it [is] the city of David.

⁶Ary hoy Davida: Na iza na iza no hamely voalohany ny Jebosita, dia izy no ho lohany sy ho komandy. Ary Joaba, zanak'i Zeroia, no niakatra voalohany, ka dia izy no lohany.

⁶And David saith, `Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth become head and prince;` and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah and becometh head.

⁷Dia nitoetra tao anatin'ny batery fiarotana Davida, ka izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Tanànan'i Davida

⁷And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have called it, `City of David;`

⁸Ary nandrafitra ny manodidina ny tanàna hatrany Milo izy; ary Joaba nampamboatra ny sisa tamin'ny tanàna.[Heb. fiarovana]

⁸and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city.

⁹Koa dia nandroso nihalehibe Davida; fa Jehovah, Tompon'ny maro, no nomba azy.

⁹And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah of Hosts [is] with him.

¹⁰[Ny amin'ny lehilahy maherin'i Davida izay niady hampanjaka azy] Ary izao no lohan'ny lehilahy maherin'i Davida izay nifikitra mafy taminy tamin'ny fanjakany, mbamin'ny Isiraely rehetra hampanjaka azy araka ny tenin'i Jehovah ny amin'ny Isiraely.

¹⁰And these [are] heads of the mighty ones whom David hath, who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of Jehovah, over Israel.

¹¹Dia izao no isan'ny lehilahy maherin'i Davida: Jasobeama, zanak'i Hakmony, lehiben'ny mpanafika malaza; izy no namely telon-jato lahy tamin'ny lefona ka naharingana azy tamin'ny ady indray mandeha monja.

¹¹And this [is] an account of the mighty ones whom David hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite [is] head of the thirty; he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, at one time.

¹²Ary ny manarakaraka azy dia Eleazara, zanak'i Dodo Ahohita, anankiray amin'izy telo lahy mahery.

¹²And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he [is] among the three mighty;

¹³Izy dia teo amin'i Davida tao Efesa-damima, raha vory teo ny Filistina hiady, ary ny tany nisy vary hordea maniry, ary ny olona nandositra ny Filistina.

¹³he hath been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of the Philistines,

¹⁴Fa nijanona teo afovoan'io tany io kosa Eleazara ka nahazo io ary namono ny Filistina, ka dia nanao famonjena lehibe Jehovah.

¹⁴and they station themselves in the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth — a great salvation.

¹⁵Ary nisy telo lahy malaza tamin'ny telo-polo nidina nankeo amin'ny vatolampy ho any amin'i Davida tamin'ny zohin'i Adolama; ary ny miaramilan'ny Filistina nitoby tao amin'ny Lohasahan'ny Refaita.

¹⁵And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim,

¹⁶Ary Davida dia tao amin'ny batery fiarovana tamin'izay, ary ny miaramilan'ny Filistina kosa dia tao Betlehema.

¹⁶and David [is] then in the fortress, and the station of the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem,

¹⁷Ary Davida naniry ka nanao hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hampisotro rano ahy avy amin'ny fantsakana ao Betlehema, ilay ao akaikin'ny vavahady.

¹⁷and David longeth, and saith, `Who doth give me to drink water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate!`

¹⁸Ary izy telo lahy ireo namaky teo amin'ny miaramilan'ny Filistina ka nanovo rano tao amin'ny fantsakana tao Betlehema, ilay tao akaikin'ny vavahady, dia nentiny ho any amin'i Davida. Kanjo tsy nety nisotro izy, fa naidiny ho an'i Jehovah.

¹⁸And the three break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah,

¹⁹Fa hoy izy: Sanatria amiko eo anatrehan'Andriamanitra raha hanao izany; hisotro ny ran'ireto olona nanao vi-very ny ainy ireto va aho? fa nanao vi-very ny ainy izy ireo tamin'ny nakany ity. Ka dia tsy nety nisotro izy. Izany zavatra izany no nataon'ireo telo lahy mahery ireo.

¹⁹and saith, `Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; the blood of these men do I drink with their lives? for with their lives they have brought it;` and he was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three mighty ones.

²⁰Ary Abisay, rahalahin'i Joaba, no lehibe tamin'izy telo lahy; fa izy koa namely telonjato lahy tamin'ny lefona ka nahafaty azy, ka dia izy no nalaza tamin'izy telo lahy.

²⁰And Abishai brother of Joab, he hath been head of the three: and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred — wounded, and hath a name among three.

²¹Eny, tamin'izy telo lahy dia izy no nanana voninahitra mihoatra noho ny azy roa lahy, fa izy no lehibeny; nefa tsy nahomby azy telo lahy teo izy.

²¹Of the three by the two he is honoured, and becometh their head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come.

²²Ary Benaia, zanak'i Joiada, zanaky ny lehilahy mahay tany Kabzela, izay nahavita asa be, izy no nahafaty ny roa lahy mahery tany Moaba; ary izy koa no nidina namono ny liona tao anatin'ny lavaka fantsakana tamin'ilay andro nisy oram-panala iny.[Heb. lionan'Andriamanitra]

²²Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, of great deeds, from Kabzeel: he hath smitten the two lion-like Moabites, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit, in the day of snow.

²³Ary izy koa no namono ilay Egyptiana makadiry, izay dimy hakiho ny halavany, nefa teny an-tànan'ilay Egyptiana nisy lefona tahaka ny vodi-tenon'ny mpanenona; nefa namorotsahan'i Benaia tamin'ny tehiny ihany izy, dia nosarihany ny lefona teny an-tànan'ilay Egyptiana, ka iny lefony iny ihany no namonoany azy.

²³And he hath smitten the man, the Egyptian — a man of measure, five by the cubit — and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear like a beam of weavers, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear.

²⁴Izany zavatra izany no nataon'i Benaia, zanak'i Joiada, ary tamin'izy telo lahy mahery dia izy no nalaza.

²⁴These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among the three mighty ones.

²⁵Indro fa be voninahitra tamin'ny telo-polo lahy izy, nefa tsy nahomby azy telo lahy teo; ary Davida nanao azy ho isan'ny mpanolo-tsaina azy.

²⁵Of the thirty, lo, he [is] honoured, and unto the [first] three he hath not come, and David setteth him over his guard.

²⁶Ary ny lehilahy mahery dia Asahela, rahalahin'i Joaba, sy Elanana, zanak'i Dodo, avy any Betlehema,
