1 Chronicles 11

1 Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.

Ary dia nivory teo amin’ i Davida tao Hebrona ny Isiraely rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay, fa taolanao sy nonao.

2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”

Hatry 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.

3 So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.

Eny, 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.

4 David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.

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

5 Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.

Ary 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).

6 [What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.

Ary 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.

7 [After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.

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

8 David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.

Ary nandrafitra ny manodidina ny tanàna hatrany Milo izy; ary Joaba nampamboatra ny sisa tamin’ ny tanàna.

9 David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.

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

10 Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.

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.

11 This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.

Dia 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.

12 Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.

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

13 [One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,

Izy 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.

14 but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.

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

15 One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.

Ary 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 Refaïta.

16 David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.

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

17 [One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”

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

18 So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.

Ary 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.

19 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.

Fa 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.

20 Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.

Ary 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.

21 So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.

Eny, 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.

22 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.

Ary 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.

23 He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.

Ary 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.

24 Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.

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

25 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.

Indro 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.
