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.
At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck 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.
David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.
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.
He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then 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.
After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; 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.
Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi 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.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
7 Ary nony nihaika ny Isiraely izy, dia nahafaty azy Jonatana, zanak’ i Simea, rahalahin’ i Davida.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8 Ireo no taranaky ny Refaïta tao Gata, ka matin’ ny tànan’ i Davida sy ny tanan’ ny mpanompony ireo.
These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
