2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
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.
2 David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
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.
3 David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
Dia resin’ i Davida koa Hadadezera, zanak’ i Rehoba, mpanjakan’ i Zoba, tamin’ izy lasa nampody ny fanjakany teo amoron’ ny ony Eofrata.
4 David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
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.
5 When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
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.
6 Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
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.
7 David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
Ary nalain’ i Davida ny ampinga volamena izay teny amin’ ny mpanompon’ i Hadadezera ka nentiny nankany Jerosalema.
8 They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
Ary teo Beta sy Berotahy, tanànan’ i Hadadezera, no nahazoan’ i Davida mpanjaka babo varahina be dia be.
9 When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
Ary nony ren’ i Toy, mpanjakan’ i Hamata, fa efa naharesy ny miaramilan’ i Hadadezera rehetra Davida,
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
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;
11 King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
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,
12 They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
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.
13 When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
Ary Davida nahazo laza nony niverina avy nandresy ny Syriana valo arivo sy iray alina teo amin’ ny Lohasahan-tsira.
14 David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
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.
15 David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
Ary Davida nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra ka nitsara sy nitondra marina ny vahoakany rehetra.
16 Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
Ary Joaba, zanak’ i Zeroia, no komandin’ ny miaramila; ary Josafata, zanak’ i Ahiloda, no mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana;
17 Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
ary Zadoka, zanak’ i Ahitoba, sy Ahimeleka, zanak’ i Abiatara, no mpisorona; ary Seraia no mpanoratra;
18 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
ary Benaia, zanak’ i Joiada, no mpifehy ny mpiambina andriana; ary ny zanak’ i Davida no mpanolo-tsaina.
