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.

Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them. And David took the bridle of tribute from the hand 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 struck Moab, and he measured them with a line, leveling them to the ground. Now he measured with two lines, one to kill, and one to keep alive. And Moab was made to serve David under tribute.

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 struck Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, when he set out to rule over the river Euphrates.

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 from his troops, David seized one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand foot soldiers. And he cut the sinew of the leg in all the chariot horses. But he left aside enough of them for one hundred chariots.

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 the Syrians of Damascus arrived, so that they might bring reinforcements to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And David struck down twenty-two thousand men of the Syrians.

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 positioned a garrison in Syria of Damascus. And Syria served David under tribute. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.

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

And David took the armbands of gold, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

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

And from Betah and Beeroth, cities of Hadadezer, king David took an exceedingly great amount of brass.

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

Then Toi, the king of Hamath, heard that David had struck down the entire strength 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;

And so, Toi sent his son Joram to king David, so that he might greet him with congratulations, and give thanks, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had struck him down. For indeed, Toi was the enemy of Hadadezer. And in his hand were vessels of gold, and vessels of silver, and vessels of 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,

And king David also sanctified these things to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the peoples whom he had subdued:

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.

from Syria, and Moab, and the sons Ammon, and the Philistines, and Amalek, and from the best spoils of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, the king of Zobah.

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

David also made a name for himself when he returned from seizing Syria, in the Valley of the Salt Pits, having cut down eighteen thousand.

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 positioned guards in Edom, and he stationed a garrison. And all of Edom was made to serve David. And the Lord assisted David in all things whatsoever that he set out to accomplish.

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

And David reigned over all of Israel. And David accomplished judgment and justice with all his people.

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

Now Joab, the son Zeruiah, was over the army. And Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.

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

And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the 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 Pelethites. But the sons of David were priests.
