1 Tantara 14
1 Ary Hirama, mpanjakan’ i Tyro, naniraka olona tany amin’ i Davida sady nampanatitra hazo sedera ary nandefa mpanao trano vato sy mpandrafitra hanao trano ho azy.
Also, Hiram, the king of Tyre, sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and artisans of walls and of wood, so that they might build a house for him.
2 Dia fantatr’ i Davida fa Jehovah efa nampitoetra azy ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, ka voasandratra ny fanjakany noho ny amin’ ny Isiraely olony.
And David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom had been lifted up over his people Israel.
3 Ary Davida nampaka-bady koa tany Jerosalema ka niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy.
Also, David took other wives in Jerusalem. And he conceived sons and daughters.
4 Ary izao no anaran’ ny zanany naterany tany Jerosalema: Samoa sy Sobaba sy Natana sy Solomona
And these are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon,
5 sy Jibara sy Elisoa sy Elipeleta
Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
6 sy Noga sy Nafega sy Jafia
as well as Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 sy Elisama sy Seliada ary Elifeleta.
Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Koa nony ren’ ny Filistina fa efa nohosorana ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely rehetra Davida, dia niakatra hitady azy ny Filistina rehetra. Koa raha ren’ i Davida izany, dia nivoaka hiady taminy izy.
Then, hearing that David had been anointed as king over all of Israel, all the Philistines ascended so that they might seek him. But when David had heard of it, he went out to meet them.
9 Ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.
Now the Philistines, arriving, spread out in the Valley of the Rephaim.
10 Ary Davida nanontany tamin’ Andriamanitra hoe: Hiakatra hamely ny Filistina va aho? Hatolotrao eo an-tanako va izy? Dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Miakara, fa hatolotro eo an-tananao izy.
And so David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I ascend to the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Ascend, and I will deliver them into your hand.”
11 Dia niakatra nankao Bala-perazima Davida ka namely azy teo; dia hoy izy: Ny tanako no namakian’ Andriamanitra ny fahavaloko hipariaka toy ny rano vaky; koa izany no nanaovany ny anaran’ izany tany izany hoe Bala-perazima.
And when they had ascended to Baal-perazim, David struck them there, and he said: “God has divided my enemies by my hand, just as waters are divided.” And therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
12 Dia nilaozan’ ireny teo ireo andriamaniny, ka dia nasain’ i Davida nodorana tamin’ ny afo.
And they left behind their gods in that place, and so David ordered them to be burned.
13 Ary tonga indray ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny an-dohasaha indray.
And then, at another time, the Philistines invaded, and they spread out in the valley.
14 Dia nanontany tamin’ Andriamanitra indray Davida ka novaliany hoe: Aza mandeha hanenjika azy; fa mivilia azy, dia mandehana, fa ho tonga eo aminy ianao eo amin’ ny tandrifin’ ny hazo balsama.
And again, David consulted God. And God said to him: “You shall not ascend after them. Draw away from them. And you shall come against them opposite the balsam trees.
15 Ary raha toa mahare fingadongadon’ olona eny amin’ ny tendron’ ny hazo balsama ianao, dia miaingà amin’ izay hiady; fa amin’ izay no efa miainga mialoha anao Andriamanitra hamely ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina.
And when you hear a sound approaching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go forth to war. For God has gone forth before you, so that he may strike down the army of the Philistines.”
16 Ary dia nanao araka izay nandidian’ Andriamanitra azy Davida, ka dia namely ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina hatrany Gibeona ka hatrany Gazera izy.
Therefore, David did just as God had instructed him. And he struck down the army of the Philistines, from Gibeon as far as Gazera.
17 Ary ny lazan’ i Davida niely teny amin’ ny tany rehetra; ary nataon’ i Jehovah nahazo ny firenena rehetra ny tahotra an’ i Davida.
And the name of David became well-known in all the regions. And the Lord placed the fear of him over all the nations.
