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.

¹Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

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.

²In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince 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.

³So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh by Samuel.

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

⁴David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

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).

⁵The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same 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.

⁶David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

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

⁷David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

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

⁸He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

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

⁹David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was 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.

¹⁰Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Yahweh concerning 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.

¹¹This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

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

¹²After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

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 was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

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

¹⁴They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.

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.

¹⁵Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

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

¹⁶David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

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

¹⁷David longed, and said, “Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by 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.

¹⁸The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,

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 said, “My God forbid it me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

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.

²⁰Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the 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, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain: however he didn’t attain to the three.

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 the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time 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.

²³He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed 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.

²⁴Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.

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.

²⁵Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three: and David set him over his guard.

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