2 Samoela 8

1 Ary nony afaka izany, dia nandresy ny Filistina Davida ka nampietry azy; ary ny fanapahana ny renivohitra dia nesorin’ i Davida tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Filistina.

And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.

2 Ary nandresy ny Moabita koa izy, dia nampandriny tamin’ ny tany ireo ary nohariny tamin’ ny kofehy, ka izay indroan’ ny kofehy novonoiny, fa ny erany kosa novelominy; ka dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida ny Moabita ka nandoa hetra.

And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.

3 Dia resin’ i Davida koa Hadadezera, zanak’ i Rehoba, mpanjakan’ i Zoba, tamin’ izy lasa nampody ny fanjakany teo amoron’ ny ony Eofrata.

And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.

4 Ary Davida nahazo babo taminy, dia miaramila an-tsoavaly fiton-jato amby arivo sy miaramila an-tongotra roa alina; ary notraingotraingoin’ i Davida avokoa ny soavalin-kalesy rehetra, fa ny tokony ho amin’ ny kalesy zato ihany no navelany.

And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

5 Ary tonga ny Syriana avy tany Damaskosy hanampy an’ i Hadadezera, mpanjakan’ i Zoba; dia nahafatesan’ i Davida olona roa arivo sy roa alina koa ny Syriana.

And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.

6 Ary nametrahan’ i Davida miaramila tany Syria momba an’ i Damaskosy; dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida ny Syriana ka nandoa hetra. Fa Jehovah nampahery an’ i Davida teny amin’ izay rehetra nalehany.

And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

7 Ary nalain’ i Davida ny ampinga volamena izay teny amin’ ny mpanompon’ i Hadadezera ka nentiny nankany Jerosalema.

And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.

8 Ary teo Beta sy Berotahy, tanànan’ i Hadadezera, no nahazoan’ i Davida mpanjaka babo varahina be dia be.

And from Tebah and Berothai, towns of Hadadezer, King David took a great store of brass.

9 Ary nony ren’ i Toy, mpanjakan’ i Hamata, fa efa naharesy ny miaramilan’ i Hadadezera rehetra Davida,

And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,

10 dia nirahin’ i Toy Jorama zanany hankany amin’ i Davida mpanjaka hiarahaba azy sy hisaotra azy noho ny niadiany tamin’ i Hadadezera sy ny nandreseny azy (fa Hadadezera dia fahavalon’ i Toy); ary gorama nitondra fanaka volafotsy sy fanaka volamena ary fanaka varahina;

He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:

11 dia nohamasinin’ i Davida mpanjaka ho an’ i Jehovah koa izany mbamin’ ny volafotsy sy ny volamena izay nohamasininy avy tamin’ ny firenena rehetra izay efa resiny,

These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome —

12 dia tamin’ i Syria sy Moaba sy ny taranak’ i Amona sy ny Filistina sy ny Amalekita ary ny babo azony tamin’ i Hadadezera, zanak’ i Rehoba, mpanjakan’ i Zoba.

The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

13 Ary Davida nahazo laza nony niverina avy nandresy ny Syriana valo arivo sy iray alina teo amin’ ny Lohasahan-tsira.

And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.

14 Ary nametrahany miaramila tany Edoma; eny, nametrahany miaramila avokoa Edoma rehetra, ary ny mponina rehetra tany Edoma dia tonga mpanompon’ i Davida. Ary Jehovah nampahery an’ i Davida teny amin’ izay rehetra nalehany.

And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

15 Ary Davida nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka nitsara sy nitondra marina ny vahoakany rehetra.

And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

16 Ary Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, no komandin’ ny miaramila; ary Josafata, zanak’ i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana;

And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records;

17 ary Zadoka, zanak’ i Ahitoba, sy Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Abiatara, no mpisorona; ary Seraia no mpanoratra;

And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

18 ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no mpifehy ny mpiambina andriana; ary ny zanak’ i Davida no mpanolo-tsaina.

And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
