1 Tantara 18

1 Ary nony afaka izany, dia nandresy ny Filistina Davida ka nampietry azy, ary Gata sy ny zana-bohiny dia nesoriny tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina.

Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them, and he took Gath and her daughters from the hand of the Philistines.

2 Ary nandresy ny Moabita koa izy, ka dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida nandoa hetra ireo.

And he struck Moab. And the Moabites became the servants of David, offering gifts to him.

3 Dia resin’ i Davida koa Hadarezera, mpanjakan’ i Zoba akaikin’ i Hamata, tamin’ izy lasa nampiorina ny fanjakany teo amoron’ ny ony Eofrata.

In that time, David also struck Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, in the region of Hamath, when he went forth so that he might extend his dominion as far as the river Euphrates.

4 Ary Davida nahazo babo kalesy arivo taminy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly fito arivo ary miaramila an-tongotra roa alina; ary notraingotraingoin’ i Davida avokoa ny soavalin-kalesy rehetra, fa ny tokony ho amin’ ny kalesy zato ihany no navelany.

Then David seized one thousand of his four-horse chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, except for one hundred four-horse chariots, which he reserved for himself.

5 Ary nony tonga ny Syriana avy any Damaskosy hanampy an’ i Hadarezera, mpanjakan’ i Zoba, dia nahafatesan’ i Davida olona roa arivo sy roa alina ny Syriana.

Then the Syrians of Damascus also arrived, so that they might offer assistance to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And so, David then struck of them twenty-two thousand men.

6 Ary nisy namponenin’ i Davida tany Syria any Damaskosy; dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida ny Syriana ka nandoa hetra. Fa Jehovah nampahery an’ i Davida teny amin’ izay rehetra nalehany.

And he stationed soldiers in Damascus, so that Syria also would serve him, and would offer gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all the things to which he went forth.

7 Ary nalain’ i Davida ny ampinga volamena teny amin’ ny mpanompon’ i Hadarezera ka nentiny nankany Jerosalema.

Also, David took the golden quivers, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

8 Ary tao Tibata sy Kona, tanànan’ i Hadarezera, no nahazoan’ i Davida babo varahina be dia be, ary izany no nanaovan’ i Solomona ilay tavin-drano varahina lehibe sy ny andry ary ny fanaka varahina.

In addition, from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, he brought very much brass, from which Solomon made the sea of brass, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 Ary nony ren’ i Toy, mpanjakan’ i Hamata, fa Davida efa naharesy ny miaramila rehetra an’ i Hadarezera, mpanjakan’ i Zoba,

Now when Toi, the king of Hamath, had heard this, specifically that David had struck the entire army of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah,

10 dia naniraka an’ i Hadorama zanany hankany amin’ i Davida mpanjaka izy hiarahaba sy hisaotra azy noho ny niadiany tamin’ i Hadarezera sy ny nahareseny azy (fa Hadarezera dia fahavalon’ i Toy), sady nampitondrainy fanaka volamena sy volafotsy ary varahina izay samy maro karazana izy.

he sent his son Hadoram to king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.

11 Dia nohamasinin’ i Davida mpanjaka ho an’ i Jehovah koa izany mbamin’ ny volafotsy sy ny volamena nentiny avy tamin’ ny firenena rehetra, dia tany Edoma sy Moaba sy ny taranak’ i Amona sy ny Filistina ary ny Amalekita

Moreover, all the vessels of gold and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, as much from Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines and Amalek.

12 Ary Abisay, zanak’ i Zeroia, naharesy ny Edomita teo amin’ ny Lohasahan-tsira, dia lehilahy valo arivo sy iray alina.

Truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of the Salt Pits.

13 Ary nametraka miaramila tany Edoma izy; dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida ny Edomita rehetra. Fa Jehovah nampahery an’ i Davida teny amin’ izay rehetra nalehany.

And he stationed a garrison in Edom, so that Idumea would serve David. And the Lord saved David in all the things to which he went forth.

14 Ary Davida nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka nitsara sy nitondra ny vahoakany rehetra tamin’ ny fahamarinana.

Therefore, David reigned over all of Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people.

15 Ary Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, no komandin’ ny miaramila; ary Josafata, zanak’ i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana.

Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the army, and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.

16 Ary Zadoka, zanak’ i Ahitoba, sy Abimeleka, zanak’ i Abiatara, no mpisorona; ary Saosa no mpanoratra.

And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Shavsha was the scribe.

17 Ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no mpifehy ny miaramila mpiambina andriana; ary ny zanak’ i Davida no lehibe tamin’ izay nanolotra ny mpanjaka.

Also, Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were first at the hand of the king.
