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 did all Israel gather themselves together to David, unto Hebron, saying, —Lo! thy bone and thy flesh, are we.

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.

Moreover also, in time past even when Saul was king, thou, wast he that led out and brought in Israel, —and Yahweh thy God said unto thee, Thou, shalt shepherd my people Israel, Yea, thou, shalt be chief ruler, over my people Israel.

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.

Thus came all the elders of Israel unto the king, to Hebron, and David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh, through Samuel.

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

Then went David and all Israel to Jerusalem, the same, was Jebus, —where were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of 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).

And the inhabitants of Jebus said unto David, Thou shalt not come in hither, —But David captured the citadel of Zion, the same, 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.

And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, first, shall become a chief, and a ruler, —So then Joab son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became a chief.

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

And David dwelt in the citadel, —for this cause, did they call it, The City of David.

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

And he built the city round about, from Millo even as far as the circuit, —but, Joab, suffered the remainder of the city to live.

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

Thus did David wax greater and yet greater, —and, Yahweh 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, are the chiefs of the heroes, that pertained to David, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, —according to the word of Yahweh, 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.

And, this, is the number of the heroes who pertained to David, —Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite, chief of the thirty, the same, brandished his spear over three hundred—slain at one time.

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

And, after him, was Eleazar son of Dodai, the Ahohite, —he, was among the three heroes;

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 in Pas-dammim, where, the Philistines, were gathered together to battle, and there was a field-plot full of barley, —and, the people, fled, from before 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.

so they took their stand in the midst of the plot and rescued it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought 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.

And three of the thirty chiefs went down upon the rock, unto David, into the cave of Adullam, —a host of Philistines, being encamped in the vale of Rephaim.

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

Now, David, then was in the stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, then was in 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.

And David longed, and said—Who will give me to drink of the water, out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?

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.

And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would not David drink it, but poured it out unto Yahweh;

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.

and said—Far be it from me, of my God, that I should do this! The blood of these men, shall I drink, with their lives? For, with their lives, have they brought it! So he would not drink it. These things, did the three heroes.

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.

And, Abishai brother of Joab—he, was the chief of three, he, having brandished his spear against three hundred—who were slain, —and so, he, had a name among 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.

Of the three in the second rank, was he honourable, therefore became he their captain, —though, unto the [first] three, did he not attain.

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.

Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, hero of many a deed, from Kabziel—he, smote the two [sons] of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, in time of snow;

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 smote an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear like a weaver’s beam, so he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his spear.

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

These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, so, he, had a name among three heroes.

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.

Among the thirty, lo! honourable, was he, but, unto the [first] three, did he not attain, —howbeit David set him over his council.
