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.

Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built 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.

David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.

3 Ary Davida nampaka-bady koa tany Jerosalema ka niteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy.

In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.

4 Ary izao no anaran’ ny zanany naterany tany Jerosalema: Samoa sy Sobaba sy Natana sy Solomona

These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

5 sy Jibara sy Elisoa sy Elipeleta

Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

6 sy Noga sy Nafega sy Jafia

Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,

7 sy Elisama sy Seliada ary Elifeleta.

Elishama, 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.

Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went out against them.

9 Ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.

Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of 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.

Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”

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.

So they came up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.

12 Dia nilaozan’ ireny teo ireo andriamaniny, ka dia nasain’ i Davida nodorana tamin’ ny afo.

The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.

13 Ary tonga indray ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny an-dohasaha indray.

Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.

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.

So David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.

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.

When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack 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.

So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.

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.

Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
