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 spoke, saying, Behold us, thy bone and thy flesh are we;
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.
Already yesterday, and even before, when Saul was king over us, thou wast the one that led out and brought in Israel: And the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt indeed feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a chief 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.
Thus came all the elders of Israel to the king unto Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anointed David as king over Israel.
4 Telo-polo taona Davida fony izy vao nanjaka, ary nanjaka efa-polo taona izy.
Thirty years was David old when he became king, [and] forty years he reigned.
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 against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; who said unto David, as followeth, Thou shalt not come in hither, except thou [first] remove away the blind and the lame: meaning, David cannot come in hither.
7 Kanjo afak’ i Davida ihany ny batery fiarovana, dia Ziona (Tanànan’ i Davida izany).
Nevertheless David captured 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 will smite the Jebusites, and reach the aqueduct and the lame and the blind, that are hateful to David's soul, —Wherefore people usually say, 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.
And David dwelt in the fort, and he called it “The City of David.” And David built [it] round about from the Millo and inward.
10 Koa dia nandroso sy nihalehibe Davida, fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, no nomba azy.
And David went on, and became greater and greater, and the Lord the God 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 the king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.
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 felt conscious that the Lord has established him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
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 yet more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were born to David yet [more] sons and daughters.
14 Ary izao no anaran’ ny naterany tany Jerosalema: Samoa sy Sobaba sy Natana sy Solomona
And these are 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
And Yibchar, and Elishua', and Nepheg, and Yaphia',
16 sy Elisama sy Eliada ary Elifeleta.
And Elishama', and Elyada', and Eliphelet.
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 the people had anointed David as king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David: and David heard of it, and went down to the strong-hold.
18 Ary dia tonga ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.
The Philistines also came and spread themselves out 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 asked counsel of the Lord, saying, shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy 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 Ba'al-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken down my enemies before me, as a breach [is made by] water. Wherefore he called the name of that place Ba'al-perazim.
21 Ary nilaozany tao ny sampiny, ka dia lasan’ i Davida sy ny olony ireny.
And they left behind there their idols, and David and his men burnt them.
22 Ary niakatra indray ny Filistina ka nihahakahaka teny amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta.
And the Philistines came up once again, and spread themselves out 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 asked counsel of the Lord, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but turn about and fall in the rear of them, and come upon them opposite to 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 it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of walking on the top of the mulberry-trees, that thou shalt then bestir thyself; for then will the Lord go out before thee, to smite in the camp 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 the Lord had commanded him; and he smote the Philistines from Geba' until thou comest to Gezer.
