2 Samoela 5

1 Dia tonga tao amin’ i Davida tao Hebrona ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra ka nanao hoe: Indreto izahay, fa taolanao sy nofonao.

Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

2 Fa hatry ny fony fahiny ihany koa, raha mbola nanjaka taminay aza Saoly, dia ianao no mpitarika ny Isiraely nivoaka sy niditra; ary Jehovah efa nilaza taminao hoe: Hianao no ho mpiandry ny Isiraely oloko, ary ianao no ho mpanapaka azy.

Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and YHWH said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.

3 Eny, tonga tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tao Hebrona ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra, ary Davida mpanjaka nanao fanekena taminy tao Hebrona teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary dia nanosotra an’ i Davida ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before YHWH: and they anointed David king over Israel.

4 Telo-polo taona Davida fony izy vao nanjaka, ary nanjaka efa-polo taona izy.

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

5 Tao Hebrona no nanjakany tamin’ ny Joda fito taona sy enim-bolana; ary tany Jerosalema no nanjakany tamin’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda rehetra telo amby telo-polo taona.

In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 Ary ny mpanjaka sy ny olony nankany Jerosalema hiady amin’ ny Jebosita tompon-tany, ary hoy izy ireo tamin’ i Davida: Tsy ho tafiditra eto ianao; fa na dia ny jamba ny mandringa aza dia hahasakana anao ka hanao hoe: Tsy ho tafiditra eto Davida.

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

7 Kanjo afak’ i Davida ihany ny batery fiarovana, dia Ziona (Tanànan’ i Davida izany).

Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.

8 Ary hoy Davida tamin’ izany andro izany: Izay mamely ny Jebosita, dia aoka hananika ho eo amin’ ny riana ka hamely, ny mandringa sy ny jamba izay halan’ ny fon’ i Davida. Koa dia mby am-pitenenana hoe: Izay jamba mandringa tsy ho tafiditra ao an-trano.

And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

9 Dia nitoetra tao anatin’ ny batery fiarovana Davida, ary ny anarany nataony hoe: Tanànan’ i Davida. Ary narafitr’ i Davida ny manodidina hatrany Milo mbamin’ ny ao anatiny.

So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.

10 Koa dia nandroso sy nihalehibe Davida, fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, no nomba azy.

And David went on, and grew great, and YHWH Elohim of hosts was with him.

11 Ary Hirama, mpanjakan’ i Tyro, naniraka olona tany amin’ i Davida nampanatitra hazo sedera ary nandefa mpandrafitra sy tambato; dia nanao trano ho an’ i Davida ireo.

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.

12 Dia fantatr’ i Davida fa Jehovah efa nampitoetra azy ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka nanandratra ny fanjakany noho ny amin’ ny Isiraely olony.

And David perceived that YHWH had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

13 Ary Davida mbola naka vaditsindrano sy vady koa tany Jerosalema, rehefa tonga avy tany Hebrona izy; ary dia nisy zanakalahy sy zanakavavy koa naterak’ i Davida.

And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

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

And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 sy Jibara sy Elisoa sy Nafega sy Jafia

Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 sy Elisama sy Eliada ary Elifeleta.

And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

17 Koa nony ren’ ny Filistina fa efa nohosoran’ ny olona ho mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely Davida, dia niakatra hitady azy ny Filistina rehetra; fa raha ren’ i Davida izany dia nidina tao amin’ ny batery fiarovana izy.

But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.

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

The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

19 Ary Davida nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah hoe: Hiakatra hamely ny Filistina va aho? Hatolotrao eo an-tanako va izy? Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Davida: Miakara, fa hatolotro eo an-tananao tokoa ny Filistina.

And David inquired of YHWH, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And YHWH said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.

20 Ary Davida tonga tao Bala-perazima ka namely ireo tao, dia hoy izy: Jehovah efa namaky ny fahavaloko teo anoloako hipariaka toy ny rano vaky; koa izany no nanaovany ny anaran’ izany tany izany hoe Bala-perazima.

And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, YHWH hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

21 Ary nilaozany tao ny sampiny, ka dia lasan’ i Davida sy ny olony ireny.

And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

22 Ary niakatra indray ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.

And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

23 Ary nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah Davida, ka novaliany hoe: Aza mandeha; fa hodidino avy eo aoriana izy, ka ho tonga eo aminy ianao eo amin’ ny tandrifin’ ny hazo balsama.

And when David inquired of YHWH, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

24 Ary raha toa mahare fingadongadon’ olona eny amin’ ny tendron’ ny hazo balsama ianao, dia faingàna; fa amin’ izay no efa miainga mialoha anao Jehovah hamely ny miaramilan’ ny Filistina.

And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall YHWH go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.

25 Ary dia nanao araka ny nandidian’ i Jehovah azy Davida ka dia namely ny Filistina hatrany Geba ka hatrao akaikin’ i Gazera izy.

And David did so, as YHWH had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
