2 Samuel 15
1 And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared for him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
Apre sa, Absalon achte yon cha lagè ak tout chwal pou tèt pa li. Li pran senkant gason pou mache avèk li.
2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. And it was so, that, when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, Of what city are thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
Chak maten, Absalon leve byen bonè, li al kanpe sou wout la bò pòtay lavil la. Chak fwa yon moun vini ak yon pwoblèm li ta renmen wa a regle pou li, Absalon rele l' sou kote, li mande l' ki bò li moun. Apre moun lan fin di l' moun ki branch fanmi li ye,
3 And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters are good and right, but there is no man appointed by the king to hear thee.
Absalon di l' konsa: -Gade! Se ou menm ki gen rezon, lalwa avè ou. Men, p'ap gen yon moun kay wa a k'ap koute ou.
4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or case might come to me, and I would do for him justice!
Apre sa, li di ankò: -Ki moun ki va mete m' chèf nan peyi Izrayèl la? Lè sa a, tout moun ki ta gen yon zafè osinon yon plent ta vin jwenn mwen, mwen ta fè l' jistis.
5 And it was so, that, when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.
Chak fwa yon moun pwoche bò Absalon pou mete ajenou devan l', Absalon lonje men l', li kenbe l' epi li bo l'.
6 And on this manner Absalom did to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Se konsa Absalon te fè ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl ki te vin bò kote wa a pou chache jistis. Se konsa li fè yo vin renmen l'.
7 And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Jehovah, in Hebron.
Apre katran, Absalon di wa David konsa: -Monwa, tanpri! Kite m' ale lavil Ebwon pou m' ka kenbe yon pwomès mwen te fè Seyè a.
8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah.
Antan mwen te lavil Gechou nan peyi Siri, mwen te pwomèt Seyè a si m' te tounen lavil Jerizalèm, mwen ta fè yon sèvis pou li Ebwon.
9 And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
Wa a di l': -Ale ak kè poze. Se konsa Absalon ale lavil Ebwon.
10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron.
Menm lè a, li voye mesaje nan tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo pou di yo: Lè n'a tande twonpèt yo kònen, n'a fè konnen yo fè Absalon wa lavil Ebwon.
11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem who were invited, and went in their simplicity. And they did not know anything.
Te gen desan (200) moun lavil Jerizalèm ki te pati avèk Absalon. Se Absalon ki te envite yo. Yo te byen kontan pati avè l', men yo pa t' konn anyen nan zafè konplo a.
12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
Antan Absalon t'ap ofri bèt pou Seyè a, li voye lavil Gilo al chache Achitofèl ki te yonn nan konseye David yo. Konplo a t'ap pran fòs. Patizan Absalon yo t'ap vin pi plis.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
Yon mesaje vin di David: -Moun peyi Izrayèl yo ap mache avèk Absalon, yo dakò avè l'.
14 And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee, for otherwise none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
Se konsa David rele moun pa l' yo ki te avè l' lavil Jerizalèm, li di yo: -Se pou n' prese mete deyò si nou vle chape anba men Absalon. Ann fè vit kite lavil la. Si se pa sa, talè l'ap sou nou. L'ap fè nou pase pa nou, l'ap touye dènye moun nan lavil la.
15 And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall choose.
Patizan wa yo reponn: -Wi, monwa. Nenpòt kisa ou vle nou fè, n'ap fè l'.
16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.
Wa a pran tout fanmi l', li pati apye. Li kite dis nan fanm kay li yo pou okipe palè a.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and they remained in Beth-merhak.
Wa a leve pati kite lavil la ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo. Lè yo rive devan dènye kay la, yo fè yon kanpe.
18 And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
Tout chèf li yo te kanpe bò kote l'. Yo kite tout gad pèsonèl wa a, ki vle di sòlda keretyen yo ak sòlda peletyen yo pase devan. Te gen sisan (600) sòlda moun lavil Gat ki te kite peyi yo vin jwenn David lavil Jerizalèm. Yo vin ap pase devan li tou.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why do thou also go with us? Return, and abide with the king, for thou are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to thine own place.
Wa a rele Itayi, chèf moun lavil Gat yo, li di l' konsa: -Poukisa ou prale ak nou tou? Tounen non, monchè. Rete ak lòt wa a. Ou pa moun peyi a. Se kouri ou kouri vin kache isit la.
20 Whereas thou came but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go where I may? Return thou, and take back thy brothers. Mercy and truth be with thee.
Ou pa gen lontan depi ou rive. Poukisa jòdi a pou m' fè ou ap mache nan bwa tankou vakabon ansanm avèk nou? Mwen pa menm konnen kote mwen prale. Tounen tounen ou ansanm ak tout moun menm peyi avè ou yo. Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' aji byen avè ou, pou l' pa janm lage ou!
21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As Jehovah lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for life, even there thy servant will also be.
Men Itayi reponn li: -Monwa, mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a ak devan ou, se ou menm m'ap sèvi. Kote ou prale mwen pral avè ou, menm si mwen gen pou m' mouri.
22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
Lè sa a, David di li: -Bon. Ou mèt pran devan nou. Se konsa Itayi, moun lavil Gat la, ale avèk wa a, li menm, tout moun li yo ansanm ak tout fanmi yo.
23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over. The king himself also passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.
Tout moun nan peyi a t'ap rele byen fò lè yo wè David ak moun pa l' yo ap pase ale. David janbe lòt bò ravin Sedwon an ansanm ak tout moun li yo. Yo pran wout ki mennen nan dezè a.
24 And, lo, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up until all the people had finished passing out of the city.
Zadòk, prèt la, te la tou ansanm ak tout moun fanmi Levi yo ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a. Yo depoze Bwat Kontra a atè. Yo pa leve l' jouk tout rès moun yo fin soti kite lavil la. Abyata, prèt la, te la tou.
25 And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find favor in the eyes of Jehovah he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation.
Apre sa, wa a di Zadòk konsa: -Pote Bwat Kontra a tounen nan lavil la. Si Seyè a pran plezi nan mwen, yon jou l'a kite m' tounen pou m' wè bwat la ansanm ak kote l' rete a.
26 But if he says thus, I have no delight in thee, behold, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him.
Men, si li pa kontan avè m' anko, enben, lè sa a, l'a fè sa li vle avè m'.
27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, Are thou not a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
Epi wa a di Zadòk ankò: -Gade! Ou menm ak Abyata, tounen tounen nou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak Akimaz, pitit gason ou lan, ak Jonatan, pitit gason Abyata a.
28 See, I will remain at the fords of the wilderness until there comes word from you to report to me.
Mwen menm, mwen pral tann nou bò larivyè a nan dezè a jouk n'a voye nouvèl ban mwen.
29 Therefore Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem, and they abode there.
Se konsa Zadòk ak Abyata pote Bwat Kontra a tounen lavil Jerizalèm, yo rete la.
30 And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, and wept as he went up, and he had his head covered, and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
David menm moute sou mòn Pye Oliv yo. Li t'ap kriye, li te pye atè, tèt li te kouvri, paske li te nan gwo lapenn. Tout moun ki t'ap mache deyè l' yo te gen tèt yo kouvri tou, yo t'ap kriye.
31 And it was told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
Lè David vin konnen Achitofèl te pran pozisyon ak Absalon nan konplo a, li lapriyè, li di: -Tanpri, Seyè! Fè konsèy Achitofèl yo pase pou pawòl moun fou!
32 And it came to pass, that, when David came to the top of the ascent, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and dirt upon his head.
Lè David rive sou tèt ti mòn lan, kote yo konn fè sèvis pou Bondye a, Ouchayi, moun peyi Ak la, vin kontre l', rad sou li dechire, tèt li kouvri ak pousyè tè.
33 And David said to him, If thou pass on with me, then thou will be a burden to me,
David di l' konsa: -Ou p'ap ka fè anyen pou mwen si ou vin avè m'.
34 but if thou return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king. As I have been thy father's servant in time past, so I will now be thy servant, then thou will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
Men, ou ka ede m' anpil si ou tounen lavil Jerizalèm. W'a di Absalon ou pral sèvi l' koulye a menm jan ou te sèvi papa l' nan tan lontan. Lè sa a, w'a ede m' pare tout move kou Achitofèl va gen lide pote m'.
35 And have thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing thou shall hear out of the king's house, thou shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
Zadòk ak Abyata, de prèt yo, va la tou. W'a di yo tou sa w'a tande y'ap di nan palè a.
36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. And by them ye shall send to me everything that ye shall hear.
Yo gen Akimaz ak Jonatan, pitit gason yo, ak yo. W'a voye yo vin di m' dènye sa w'a tande nan palè a.
37 So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Se konsa, Ouchayi, bon zanmi David la, tounen lavil Jerizalèm. Li antre nan lavil la an menm tan ak Absalon.
