2 Samoela 8
1 Ie añe, linafa’ i Davide o nte-Pilistio le navoho’e ambane vaho tinava’ i Davide am-pità’ o nte Pilistio ty renen-drova’ iareo.
Sometime after this, David attacked and subdued the Philistines, taking Metheg-ammah from the them.
2 Linafa’e ka o nte-Moabeo le zinehe’e an-taly, ie nampibaboheñe an-tane eo; nanjehe taly roe ho zamañe, le nitana’e ho veloñe ty taly raike. Aa le nitoroñe i Davide o nte-Moabeo, nañenga ama’e.
David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground, and he measured them with a length of cord. He measured two lengths for those to be killed, and one cord length for those to be allowed to live. So he made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes.
3 Linafa’ i Davide ka t’i Kadadetsere ana’ i Rekobe, mpanjaka’ i Tsobà, amy nionjona’e mb’ an-tsaka Eofrata mb’eo hampijadoñe ty fifehea’e.
David also defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he tried to enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
4 Tinava’ i Davide ama’e ty mpiningi-tsoavala arivo-tsi-fiton-jato, naho lahindefoñe ro’ ale; le nanoe’ i Davide fira-sintake iaby o soavalan-tsareteo naho tsy ty zato nahaja’e ho an-tsarete zato.
David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.
5 Aa ie pok’eo o nte-Arame boake Damasek’ añeo hañolotse i Kadadetsere mpanjaka’ i Tsobà, le zinevo’ i Davide ty ro-ale-tsi-ro-arivo lahindefo’ o nte-Arameo.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of them.
6 Nampipoha’ i Davide e Arame’ i Damasek’ ao ty mpirai-lian-dahindefoñe naho nanoeñe mpitoro’ i Davide o nte-Arameo, vaho nañenga ama’e. Tinolo’ Iehovà fandreketañe amy ze nomba’e iaby t’i Davide.
He placed garrisons in Aramean kingdom with its capital in Damascus, and made the Arameans subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
7 Rinambe’ i Davide ze fikalan-defo volamena amo mpitoro’ i Kadadetsereo vaho nasese’e e Ierosalaime añe.
David took the shields of gold that belonged to Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Le nangalà’ i Davide torisike tsifotofoto ty Betà naho i Berotae, rova’ i Kadadetsere.
King David also took a large quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer.
9 Aa ie jinanji’ i Toy, mpanjaka’ i Kamate te fonga zinevo’ i Davide ty valobohò’ i Kadadetsere,
When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10 le nampihitrife’ i Toy amy Davide mpanjaka ty ana’e Iorame, hañontane aze naho hitata aze ty amy nialia’e i Kadadetsere naho nahagioke; fa nimpialy amy Toy t’i Kadadetsere, le nandesa’ Iorame fanake volafoty naho fanake volamena vaho fanake torisike.
he sent his son Joram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Joram brought all kinds of gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 Nengae’ i Davide mpanjaka am’ Iehovà izay, mindre amo volafoty naho volamena navi’e boak’ amo hene fifeheañe nampiambanea’eoo:
King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the nations he had subdued:
12 boak’ Arame naho i Moabe naho amo ana’ i Amoneo naho amo nte-Pilistio naho amy Amaleke vaho amo nikopaheñe amy Kadadetsere, ana’ i Rekobe, mpanjaka’ i Tsobàio.
Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites; as well as the plunder taken from Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Nahazo asiñe t’i Davide te nimpoly amy nandafañe o nte-Arameo am-bavatanen-tsira ao, ondaty rai-ale-tsi-valo-arivo.
David also made a name for himself when he came back after defeating eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
14 Nampipoha’e mpirai’ lia t’i Edome, toe nitsitsihe’e mpirai-lia ty Edome vaho hene natao mpitoro’ i Davide o nte-Edomeo. Natolo’ Iehovà amy Davide ty fandreketañe ndra aia’aia ty nomba’e.
He placed garrisons all through Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
15 Nifelehe’ i Davide t’Israele iaby naho nizaka ze hene ondati’e an-kavantañañe naho an-kavañonañe.
David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
16 Ioabe ana’ i Tseroia ty nifehe i valobohòkey; naho mpamolily t’Iehosafate, ana’i Akilode;
Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
17 mpisoroñe t’i Tsadoke ana’ i Akitobe naho i Akimelek’ ana’ i Abiatare; naho mpitan-tsokitse t’i Sereià;
Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, while Seraiah was the secretary.

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