1 Ie nibalike ty taoñe, an-tsa-piavota’ o mpanjakao hialy, le nampionjone’ Ioabe ty haozara’ o lahindefoñeo naho nampangoakoaheñe ty tane’ o ana’ i Amoneo, le nimb’e Rabà mb’eo niarikatok’ aze. Mbe nihenekeneke e Ierosalaime añe t’i Davide, le Ioabe ty namofoke i Rabà vaho nandrotsak’ aze.
And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed it.
2 Rinambe’ i Davide añ’ambone’ i mpanjaka’ iareoy ty sabaka’e le nizoe’e t’ie nilanja talentam-bolamena raike reketse vatosoa, le naombe ami’ ty añambone’ i Davide vaho nakare’e ty nikopaheñe amy rovay, toe tsifotofoto.
And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.
3 Nendese’e boak’ ao ondatio le nampitromahe’e an-dasý naho lasarì-vý vaho fekoñe. Ie ty nanoe’ i Davide amo fonga rova’ o ana’ i Amoneo. Le hene nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime mb’ eo t’i Davide naho o’ ondatio.
And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with alibis people to Jerusalem.
4 Ie añe, le nifandrapake ty aly amo nte-Pelistio e Gezere ao, naho zinevo’ i Sibekay nte-Kosate henane zay t’i Sipay, ana’ o joalalahio; le nampiambanèñe iereo.
After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and humbled them.
5 Nipoake indraike ty aly amo nte-Pelistio; Le zinevo’ i Elkanane ana’ Iaire, t’i Lakmý rahalahi’ i Goliate nte Gite, i taran-defo’ey nanahake ty bodam-panenoñe.
Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Ie nipoak’aly indraike e Gate ao, le teo t’indaty nijoala, ty fitonto’ o rambom-pità’e naho rambom-pandia’eo le roapolo-efats’amby, ki-ene-ki-eneñe; ie nitariran-joalalàhy ka.
There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha.
7 Ie nisigihe’e t’Israele, le vinono’ Ionatane ana’ i Simeà rahalahi’ i Davide.
He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him.
8 Songa tarira’ ty joalalahy e Gate ao; sindre nizevoñem-pità’ i Davide naho ty fità’ o mpitoro’eo.
These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
