2 Samuel 5
1 Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
Dia tonga tao amin’ i Davida tao Hebrona ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay, fa taolanao sy nofonao.
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 promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
Fa 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.
3 So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
Eny, 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.
4 David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
Telo-polo taona Davida fony izy vao nanjaka, ary nanjaka efa-polo taona izy.
5 In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
Tao 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.
6 [One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
Ary 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.
7 But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
Kanjo afak’ i Davida ihany ny batery fiarovana, dia Ziona (Tanànan’ i Davida izany).
8 On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
Ary 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.
9 [After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
Dia 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.
10 David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
Koa dia nandroso sy nihalehibe Davida, fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, no nomba azy.
11 [One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
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.
12 His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
Dia fantatr’ i Davida fa Jehovah efa nampitoetra azy ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka nanandratra ny fanjakany noho ny amin’ ny Isiraely olony.
13 After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
Ary 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.
14 The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Ary izao no anaran’ ny naterany tany Jerosalema: Samoa sy Sobaba sy Natana sy Solomona
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
sy Jibara sy Elisoa sy Nafega sy Jafia
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
sy Elisama sy Eliada ary Elifeleta.
17 When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
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.
18 The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
Ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.
19 David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
Ary 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.
20 So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
Ary 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.
21 The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
Ary nilaozany tao ny sampiny, ka dia lasan’ i Davida sy ny olony ireny.
22 Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
Ary niakatra indray ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.
23 So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
Ary 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.
24 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
Ary 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.
25 So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
Ary dia nanao araka ny nandidian’ i Jehovah azy Davida ka dia namely ny Filistina hatrany Geba ka hatrao akaikin’ i Gazera izy.
