1 Nifanontoñe amy Davide e Kebrone ao t’Israele iaby, nanao ty hoe: Intoy, toe taola’o naho nofo’o zahay,
Then all Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
2 Ie taolo, ndra te nimpanjaka t’i Saole, le ihe ty niaolo vaho nampimpoly Israele; le nanao ty hoe ama’o t’Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o. Ho fahana’o ondatiko Israeleo naho ho mpifehe ondatiko Israeleo.
In the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh your God said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become a ruler over my people Israel.'”
3 Aa le hene niheo mb’amy mpanjakay e Kebrone mb’eo o mpiaolo’ Israeleo vaho nifañina’ amy Davide e Kebrone ao añatrefa’ Iehovà; le noriza’ iareo ho mpanjaka’ Israele t’i Davide, ty amy tsara’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Samoeley.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel. In this way, the word of Yahweh that had been declared by Samuel came true.
4 Nimb’e Ierosalaime—i atao Iebosiy—t’i Davide naho Israele iaby, ie tao o nte-Iebosio, o mpimoneñe amy taneio.
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). Now the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 Le hoe o nte-Iebosio amy Davide: Tsy himoak’ atoy rehe. Fe rinambe’ i Davide i rova fatratsey; i atao Rova i Davidey.
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” But David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.
6 Ie nanoe’ i Davide ty hoe: Ze mandafa ty nte-Iebosy valoha’e ty ho mpiaolo naho mpifehe. Ioabe ana’ i Tseroià ty nionjoñe valoha’e vaho nanoem-pifeleke.
David had said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become chief and commander.” So Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first, so he was made the chief.
7 Nimoneñe amy fipalirañey t’i Davide, izay ty nitokaveñ’ aze ty hoe, Rova’ i Davide.
Then David began to live in the stronghold. So they called it the city of David.
8 Namboatse añariari’ i rovay re, boak’ amy Milòy naho o mañohok’azeo vaho namboare’ Ioabe ty ila’ i rovay.
He built the city all around from the Millo and back to the surrounding wall. Joab restored the rest of the city.
9 Niraorao erike t’i Davide amy te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà i Màroy.
David became greater and greater because Yahweh of hosts was with him.
10 Irezao o nimpiaolo’ o fanalolahy mpiamy Davideo, nimpirekets’ ama’e an-kafatrarañe amy fifehea’eio, miharo am’ Israele iaby, nanao aze mpanjaka’ Israele ty amy tsara’ Iehovàio.
These were the leaders David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, obeying the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.
11 Inao ty famoliliañe o fanalolahy nimpiamy Davideo: Iasobeame, ana’ i nte-Kakmoniý mpifehe i telopoloy; nonjone’e ami’ty telon-jato i lefo’ey vaho zinevo’e iaby amy andro zay.
This is a list of David's mighty men: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, was commander of the officers. He killed three hundred men with his spear on one occasion.
12 Nanonjohy aze t’i Eleazare ana’ i Dodò nte-Akoake, raik’ amy fanalolahy telo rey.
After him was Eleazar son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
13 Nindre amy Davide e Pase-Damime ao re, ie nifanontoñe hañotakotake eo o nte-Pelistio, añ’ila’ ty teteke lifotse vare-hordea; naho fa nilay añatrefa’ o nte-Pelistio ondatio,
He was with David at Pas Dammim, and there the Philistines assembled together for battle, where there was a barley field and the army fled from the Philistines.
14 le nijohañe añivo’ i tetekey iereo, nañaro aze, le zinevo’ iareo o nte-Pelistio; vaho rinomba’ Iehovà an-drombake jabajaba.
They stood in the middle of the field. They defended it and cut down the Philistines and Yahweh rescued them with a great victory.
15 Teo te nizotso mb’amy vato mb’amy Davidey mb’eo, an-dakato’ i Adolame ao, ie nitobe am-bavatane’ i Refaime ao o nte-Pelistio, ty telo amo mpiaolo telopoloo.
Then three of the thirty leaders went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam. The army of the Philistines was camped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 Ie tam-pipalirañe ao t’i Davide, le te Betlekheme ao o mpirimbo-nte-Pelistio.
At that time David was in his stronghold, a cave, while the Philistines had established their camp at Bethlehem.
17 Niazo ty hasijy t’i Davide, nanao ty hoe: Ehe te eo ty hanjotso rano amako boak’ am-bovom-Betlekheme marine’ i lalambeiy.
David was longing for water and said, “If only someone would give me water to drink from the well at Bethlehem, the well that is by the gate!”
18 Niboroboñafe’ i telo rey i toben-te Pilistiy, le nitarike rano boak’ am-bovo’ i Betlekheme ao marine’ i lalambeiy; nendese’ iereo vaho nazotso’ iareo amy Davide; fe tsy nimete nikama t’i Davide, te mone nadoa’e añatrefa’ Iehovà,
So these three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, the well at the gate. They took the water and brought it to David, but he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out to Yahweh.
19 nanao ty hoe: Sondo’e aman’ Añahareko te hanoeko o raha zao; hinomeko hao ty lio’ ondaty namoe’ay retiañe? Fa am-pamoeam-piay i nañandesa’ iareoy. Aa le tsy nimete ninon-dre. Ie o nanoe’ i fanalolahy telo reio.
Then he said, “May it be that I should never do this! Should I drink the blood of these men who have risked their lives?” Because they had put their lives at risk, David refused to drink it. These were the deeds of the three mighty men.
20 I Abisaý, rahalahi’ Ioabe, ty nimpiaolo’ i telopolo rey; ie nañonjon-defoñe ami’ty telon-jato naho zinama’e vaho nibangoeñe añivo’ i telo rey.
Abishai brother of Joab was captain over the Three. He once used his spear against three hundred and killed them. He is mentioned along with the Three.
21 Ie ty nanañ’ asy amy telo antsa­ranga faha-roe y vaho nanoeñe mpiaolo’ iareo; fe tsy nitaka’e i telo valoha’e rey.
Of the Three, he was given double honor and became their captain, even though he was not one of them.
22 I Benià, ana’ Iehoiadà, ana’ ty fanalolahy nte-Kabtseele, mpitoloñe an-kafatrarañe, nandafa nte-Moabe roe an-tron-diona, le nizotso añivon-koboñe añ’ androm-panàla namono ty liona ao.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel, who did great deeds. He killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down into a pit and killed a lion on a day when the snow was falling.
23 Zinevo’e t’i nte-Mitsraime, ondaty abo, lime kiho ty haabo’e, am-pità’ i nte-Mitsraimey ty lefo’e hoe bodam-panenoñe; kobaiñe ty tama’e te nizotso mb’ama’e mb’eo naho tinava’e am-pità’ i nte-Mitsraimey i lefo’ey vaho vinono’e amy lefo’ey.
He even killed an Egyptian, a man five cubits tall. The Egyptian had a spear like a weaver's beam, but he went down to him with only a staff. He seized the spear out of the Egyptian's hand and killed him with his own spear.
24 Izay o nanoe’ i Benaià, ana’ Iehoiadào, le nibangoe’ i fanalolahy telo rey i tahina’ey.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada did these feats, and he was named alongside the three mighty men.
25 Ie ty nanañ’ asy amy telopoloy, f’ie tsy nahatakatse i telo valoha’e rey, ro najado’ i Davide amo mpañaro azeo.
He was more highly regarded than the thirty soldiers in general, but he was not regarded quite as highly as the three mighty men. Yet David put him in charge of his bodyguard.
26 Ty fanalolahy amo lahindefoñeo, le i Asaele rahalahi’ Ioabe, i Elkanane, ana’ i Dodò nte-Betlekheme;
