1 Tantara 11
1 Ary dia nivory teo amin’ i Davida tao Hebrona ny Isiraely rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay, fa taolanao sy nonao.
Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
2 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.
Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And the LORD your God said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
3 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.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.
4 Ary Davida sy ny Isiraely rehetra nankany Jerosalema (Jebosa izany); ary tao ny Jebosita tompon-tany.
Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.
5 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).
The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
6 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.
Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.
7 Dia nitoetra tao anatin’ ny batery fiarotana Davida, ka izany no nanaovana ny anarany hoe Tanànan’ i Davida
So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.
8 Ary nandrafitra ny manodidina ny tanàna hatrany Milo izy; ary Joaba nampamboatra ny sisa tamin’ ny tanàna.
He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.
9 Koa dia nandroso nihalehibe Davida; fa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no nomba azy.
And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
10 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.
Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
11 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.
This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.
12 Ary ny manarakaraka azy dia Eleazara, zanak’ i Dodo Ahohita, anankiray amin’ izy telo lahy mahery.
Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.
13 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.
He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At the place with a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines.
14 Fa nijanona teo afovoan’ io tany io kosa Eleazara ka nahazo io ary namono ny Filistina, ka dia nanao famonjena lehibe Jehovah.
But Eleazar and David stationed themselves in the middle of the field and defended it. They struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory.
15 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.
Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 Ary Davida dia tao amin’ ny batery fiarovana tamin’ izay, ary ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina kosa dia tao Betlehema.
At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.
17 Ary Davida naniry ka nanao hoe: Enga anie ka hisy hampisotro rano ahy avy amin’ ny fantsakana ao Betlehema, ilay ao akaikin’ ny vavahady.
David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”
18 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.
So the Three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,
19 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.
saying, “Far be it from me, my God, to do this! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.
20 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.
Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.
21 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.
He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
22 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.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.
23 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.
He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.
24 Izany zavatra izany no nataon’ i Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, ary tamin’ izy telo lahy mahery dia izy no nalaza.
These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.
25 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.
He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
