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 turn of the year, at the time of the going forth of kings, that Joab led forth the force of the army, and laid waste the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah, but, David, was tarrying in Jerusalem, —and Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
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 their king from off his head, and found it weighed a talent of gold, and, therein, were precious stones, and it was [set] on the head of David, —and, the spoil of the city, brought he forth, 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, brought he forth, and cut with the saw and with threshing sledges of iron and with axes, thus also, used David to do unto all the cities of the son of Ammon, —and David and all the people returned to 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 was yet again a battle in Gezer, with the Philistines, —then, Sibbecai the Hushathite smote Sippai of the children of the giants, and they were subdued.
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 again came to be a battle with the Philistines, —and Elhanan son of Jair smote Lahmi, 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 again came to be war with Gath, —where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes, six on each hand and foot, were four and twenty, and, he also, had been born unto the giant.
7 Ary nony nihaika ny Isiraely izy, dia nahafaty azy Jonatana, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida.
But, when he reproached Israel, Jonathan, son of Shimea 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 giant in Gath, —but they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
