1 Tantara 20
1 Ary rehefa niherina ny taona, ka mby amin’ ny andro fandehanan’ ny mpanjaka hiady, dia nitondra ny miaramila rehetra Joaba ka nandrava ny tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, dia tonga izy ka nanao fahirano an’ i Raba; fa Davida kosa nijanona tany Jerosalema ihany. Ary Joaba nahafaka an’ i Raba, ka dia nandrava azy.
And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the same season of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led out the power of the army, and destroyed the country of the children of 'Ammon, and he came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained behind at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and pulled it down.
2 Dia nesorin’ i Davida ny satro-boninahitr’ ilay mpanjaka teo an-dohany, ka hitany fa talenta volamena iray no lanjany, sady nisy vato soa, ary dia nisatrohan’ i Davida. Ary navoakany ny babo azo tao an-tanàna ka be dia be.
And David took the crown of Malkam from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and thereon a precious stone; and it was set on the head of David: and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
3 Ary dia navoakany koa ny olona izay tao, ka nasiany tamin’ ny tsofa sy tamin’ ny fangao-by lehibe sy ny famaky; toy izany no nataon’ i Davida tamin’ ny tanànan’ ny taranak’ i Amona rehetra. Ary Davida sy ny vahoaka rehetra dia niverina nankany Jerosalema.
And the people that were therein he brought forward, and cut them with saws, and with iron threshing-wagons, and with axes; and thus did David unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon; and David returned then with all the people unto Jerusalem.
4 Ary nony afaka izany, dia nisy ady tamin’ ny Filistina tao Gazera; tamin’ izany no namonoan’ i Sibekay Hosatita an’ i Sipay, izay isan’ ny taranaky ny Refaïta, ka dia naetriny ny Filistina.
And it came to pass after this, that there arose a battle at Gezer with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Sippai, one of the children of the Rapha; and they were humbled.
5 Ary dia nisy ady tamin’ ny Filistina indray ary Elanana, zanak’ i Jaïra, namono an’ i Lamy, rahalahin’ i Goliata Gatita, izay nanan-jaran-defona tahaka ny vodi-tenon’ ny mpanenona.
And there was again a battle with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Yair smote Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 Ary nisy ady indray tao Gata; ary tao nisy lehilahy vaventibe izay enin-drantsana, ka dia efatra amby roa-polo no isan’ ny rantsan-tànany sy ny rantsan-tongony; ary izy koa mba isan’ ny taranaky ny Refaïta.
And there was again a battle at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes were six on each [hand and foot], four and twenty [in all]; and he also was born to the Rapha.
7 Ary nony nihaika ny Isiraely izy, dia nahafaty azy Jonatana, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida.
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'a the brother of David smote him.
8 Ireo no taranaky ny Refaïta tao Gata, ka matin’ ny tànan’ i Davida sy ny tanan’ ny mpanompony ireo.
These were born unto the Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
