¹[Ny nandresen'i Davida ny fahavalony] Ary nony afaka izany, dia nandresy ny Filistina Davida ka nampietry azy; ary ny fanapahana ny renivohitra dia nesorin'i Davida tamin'ny tanan'ny Filistina.

¹After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines.

²Ary nandresy ny Moabita koa izy, dia nampandriny tamin'ny tany ireo ary nohariny tamin'ny kofehy, ka izay indroan'ny kofehy novonoiny, fa ny erany kosa novelominy; ka dia tonga mpanompon'i Davida ny Moabita ka nandoa hetra.

²He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

³Dia resin'i Davida koa Hadadezera, zanak'i Rehoba, mpanjakan'i Zoba, tamin'izy lasa nampody ny fanjakany teo amoron'ny ony Eofrata.

³David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.

⁴Ary Davida nahazo babo taminy, dia miaramila an-tsoavaly fiton-jato amby arivo sy miaramila an-tongotra roa alina; ary notraingotraingoin'i Davida avokoa ny soavalin-kalesy rehetra, fa ny tokony ho amin'ny kalesy zato ihany no navelany.

⁴David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots.

⁵Ary tonga ny Syriana avy tany Damaskosy hanampy an'i Hadadezera, mpanjakan'i Zoba; dia nahafatesan'i Davida olona roa arivo sy roa alina koa ny Syriana.

⁵When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

⁶Ary nametrahan'i Davida miaramila tany Syria momba an'i Damaskosy; dia tonga mpanompon'i Davida ny Syriana ka nandoa hetra. Fa Jehovah nampahery an'i Davida teny amin'izay rehetra nalehany.

⁶Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

⁷Ary nalain'i Davida ny ampinga volamena izay teny amin'ny mpanompon'i Hadadezera ka nentiny nankany Jerosalema.

⁷David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.

⁸Ary teo Beta sy Berotahy, tanànan'i Hadadezera, no nahazoan'i Davida mpanjaka babo varahina be dia be.

⁸From Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.

⁹Ary nony ren'i Toy, mpanjakan'i Hamata, fa efa naharesy ny miaramilan'i Hadadezera rehetra Davida,

⁹When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,

¹⁰dia nirahin'i Toy Jorama zanany hankany amin'i Davida mpanjaka hiarahaba azy sy hisaotra azy noho ny niadiany tamin'i Hadadezera sy ny nandreseny azy (fa Hadadezera dia fahavalon'i Toy); ary gorama nitondra fanaka volafotsy sy fanaka volamena ary fanaka varahina;

¹⁰then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to Greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:

¹¹dia nohamasinin'i Davida mpanjaka ho an'i Jehovah koa izany mbamin'ny volafotsy sy ny volamena izay nohamasininy avy tamin'ny firenena rehetra izay efa resiny,

¹¹King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;

¹²dia tamin'i Syria sy Moaba sy ny taranak'i Amona sy ny Filistina sy ny Amalekita ary ny babo azony tamin'i Hadadezera, zanak'i Rehoba, mpanjakan'i Zoba.

¹²of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

¹³Ary Davida nahazo laza nony niverina avy nandresy ny Syriana valo arivo sy iray alina teo amin'ny Lohasahan-tsira.

¹³David earned a reputation when he returned from smiting the Syrians in the Valley of Salt, even eighteen thousand men.

¹⁴Ary nametrahany miaramila tany Edoma; eny, nametrahany miaramila avokoa Edoma rehetra, ary ny mponina rehetra tany Edoma dia tonga mpanompon'i Davida. Ary Jehovah nampahery an'i Davida teny amin'izay rehetra nalehany.

¹⁴He put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.

¹⁵[Ny mpanao raharaham-panjakana tamin'i Davida] Ary Davida nanjaka tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra ka nitsara sy nitondra marina ny vahoakany rehetra.

¹⁵David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness to all his people.

¹⁶Ary Joaba, zanak'i Zeroia, no komandin'ny miaramila; ary Josafata, zanak'i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana;

¹⁶Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

¹⁷ary Zadoka, zanak'i Ahitoba, sy Ahimeleka, zanak'i Abiatara, no mpisorona; ary Seraia no mpanoratra;ary Benaia, zanak'i Joiada, no mpifehy ny mpiambina andriana; ary ny zanak'i Davida no mpanolo-tsaina. [Heb. Kerenita sy Peletita][Na: mpisorona]

¹⁷and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Seraiah was scribe;

¹⁸ary Benaia, zanak'i Joiada, no mpifehy ny mpiambina andriana; ary ny zanak'i Davida no mpanolo-tsaina. [Heb. Kerenita sy Peletita][Na: mpisorona]

¹⁸and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.
