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.
Alò, li te rive apre sa ke Absalom te fè pwovizyon pou tèt li yon cha avèk cheval ak senkant mesye pou kouri devan 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.
Absalom te konn leve granmmaten e kanpe akote chemen an devan pòtay la. Konsa, lè yon moun ta gen yon pwosè, e te vin kote wa a pou jijman, Absalom te rele li e di: “Nan ki vil ou sòti?” Epi li ta di: “Sèvitè ou a sòti nan youn nan tribi Israël yo.”
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.
Alò, Absalom ta di a li: “Ou wè, ka ou yo bon e jis; men nanpwen pèsòn ki pou koute ou nan non a wa a.”
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!
Anplis, Absalom te di: “Oswa ke yon moun ta chwazi mwen jij nan peyi a; alò, konsa chak moun ki te gen yon ka oswa yon pwosè ta kapab vin kote mwen e mwen ta ba li 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.
Epi lè yon mesye ta vin kote li pou bese li menm devan li, li ta lonje men li, kenbe li e bo li.
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.
Nan jan sa a, Absalom te konn aji avèk tout Israël lè yo te pwoche wa a pou jijman. Konsa, Absalom te vòlè kè a mesye Israël yo.
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.
Alò, li te rive ke nan fen karant ane ke Absalom te di a Wa a: “Souple, kite mwen ale peye ve ke m te fè a SENYÈ a, nan Hébron.
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.
Paske sèvitè ou a te fè yon ve pandan mwen t ap viv Gueschur Aram, e li te di: ‘Si SENYÈ a va vrèman mennen mwen retounen Jérusalem; alò, mwen va sèvi SENYÈ a’”.
9 And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
Wa a te di li: “Ale anpè.” Konsa, li te leve ale Hébron.
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.
Men Absalom te voye espyon toupatou pami tout tribi Israël yo. Li te di: “Depi ou tande son a twonpèt la, alò, ou va di: ‘Absalom se wa nan Hébron.’”
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.
Konsa, de-san mesye yo te ale avèk Absalom soti Jérusalem. Yo te envite; yo te ale nan inosans, san yo pa konnen anyen.
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.
Epi Absalom te voye pou Achitophel, Gilonit lan, konseye David, soti nan vil pa li nan Guilo, pandan li t ap ofri sakrifis yo. Konplo a te fò, paske moun avèk Absalom yo te kontinye vin plis.
13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
Alò, yon mesaje te vin kote David. Li te di: “Kè a mesye Israël yo avèk Absalom.”
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.
Konsa, David te di a tout sèvitè ki te avèk li yo Jérusalem: “Leve e annou sove ale, paske si se pa sa, nanpwen nan nou ki va chape de Absalom. Ale vit, oswa li va rive sou nou byen vit, fè gwo malè rive sou nou e frape vil la avèk lam nepe.”
15 And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king shall choose.
Alò, sèvitè a wa yo te di a wa a: “Gade, sèvitè ou yo va fè nenpòt sa ke wa a vle.”
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.
Konsa, wa a te sòti avèk tout manm lakay li avèk li. Men wa a te kite dis nan ti mennaj li yo pou pran swen kay la.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and they remained in Beth-merhak.
Wa a te sòti e tout pèp la avèk li, e yo te rete nan dènye kay la.
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.
Alò, tout sèvitè li yo te pase akote li, tout Keretyen yo avèk tout Peletyen yo ak tout Gatyen yo, sis-san moun ki te vini avèk li soti Gath, te pase devan wa a.
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.
Alò, wa a te di a Ittaï, Gatyen an: “Poukisa ou ta ale avèk nou tou? Retounen rete avèk wa a; paske ou se yon etranje e yon egzile de pwòp plas ou.
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.
Ayè ou te vini e èske, jodi a, mwen ta dwe fè ou mache egare avèk nou pandan mwen prale kote mwen prale a? Retounen reprann frè ou yo. Ke gras avèk verite kapab avèk 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 Ittaï te reponn wa a. Li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, anverite, nenpòt kote ke mèt mwen an, wa a, ye, kit pou mouri, kit pou viv, se la tou sèvitè ou a va ye.”
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.
Pou sa, David te di Ittaï: “Ale, janbe lòtbò.” Konsa Ittaï, Gatyen an te janbe avèk tout mesye pa li yo ak tout pitit ki te avèk li 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.
Pandan tout peyi a t ap kriye avèk gwo vwa, tout pèp la te pase janbe. Wa a tou te pase janbe flèv Cédron an, e tout pèp la te pase janbe lòtbò vè chemen 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.
Alò, gade byen, Tsadok te parèt tou, ansanm avèk tout Levit ki t ap pote lach akò Bondye a. Epi yo te poze lach Bondye a e Abithar te monte la jiskaske tout pèp la te fin kite vil la.
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.
Wa a te di a Tsadok: “Retounen lach Bondye a nan vil la. Si mwen jwenn favè nan zye Bondye; alò, Li va mennen mwen retounen ankò pou montre mwen a Li menm e a abitasyon pa Li 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 ta di konsa: ‘Mwen pa gen kè kontan avè w’, gade byen, men mwen, kite Li fè sa ki sanble bon pou Li menm.”
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.
Wa a te di osi a Tsadok, prèt la: “Èske se pa yon divinò ke ou ye? Retounen nan vil la anpè, de fis ou yo avèk ou, fis ou Achimaats, avèk Jonathan, fis a Abiathar a.
28 See, I will remain at the fords of the wilderness until there comes word from you to report to me.
Gade, mwen pral tann nan pasaj dezè a jiskaske pawòl ou rive enfòme mwen.”
29 Therefore Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem, and they abode there.
Pou sa, Tsadok avèk Abiathar te retounen lach Bondye a Jérusalem e te 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.
Epi David te monte pant a Mòn Oliv la. Li t ap kriye pandan li t ap monte, tèt li te kouvri e li te mache pye atè. Alò, nan tout moun ki te avèk li yo, chak moun te kouvri tèt yo e t ap monte avèk gwo kriye pandan yo t ap prale.
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.
Alò, yon moun te pale David e te di: “Achitophel se pami konplotè avèk Absalom yo.” Epi David te di: “O SENYÈ, mwen priye, redwi a foli tout konsèy a Achitophel la.”
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.
Li te rive pandan David t ap pwoche krèt mòn nan, kote yo adore Bondye a, ke vwala, Huschaï, Achit la, te rankontre li avèk manto li chire ak pousyè sou tèt li.
33 And David said to him, If thou pass on with me, then thou will be a burden to me,
David te di li: “Si ou janbe lòtbò avè m; alò, ou va ankonbre 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 si ou retounen lavil la e di a Absalom: ‘Mwen va sèvi ou, O wa a. Jan mwen te sèvi papa ou nan tan pase a, konsa, mwen va koulye a, devni sèvitè pa ou’, konsa, ou kapab vin kontrekare konsèy Achitophel la pou mwen.
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.
Èske Tsadok avèk Abiathar se pa prèt ki avèk ou la a? Pou sa, nenpòt sa ou tande soti lakay wa a, ou va bay rapò a Tsadok avèk Abaithar, prèt yo.
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.
Gade byen, de fis pa yo a avèk yo la a, Achimaats, fis a Tsadok a e Jonathan, fis a Abaithar a; epi pa yo menm, ou va voye ban mwen tout bagay ke ou tande yo.”
37 So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
Konsa, Huschaï, zanmi a David la, te antre nan vil la, e Absalom te vini Jérusalem.
