2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And he said, To Hebron.
Alò, li te vin rive apre, ke David te fè demand a SENYÈ a, e te di: “Èske Mwen dwe monte nan youn nan vil Juda yo?” Epi SENYÈ a te di li: “Monte!” Konsa David te di: “Se kibò pou m ta monte?” Epi Li te di: “Nan Hébron.”
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Pou sa, David te monte la ansanm akde madanm li yo tou, Achinoam, Jizreyelit la, avèk Abigaïl, Kamelit la, fanm a Nabal la.
3 And David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
Epi David te fè monte mesye ki te avèk li yo, yo chak avèk pwòp lakay pa yo, e yo te rete nan vil Hébron yo.
4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Jabesh-gilead were those who buried Saul.
Alò, mesye Juda yo te parèt e se la, yo te onksyone David wa sou kay Juda a. Epi yo te pale David, e te di: “Se te mesye a Jabés Galaad ki te antere Saül yo.”
5 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
David te voye mesaje yo bò kote mesye Jabés Galaad yo. Li te di yo: “Ke nou beni pa SENYÈ a akoz nou te montre bonte nou anvè Saül, mèt nou an, e nou te antere li.
6 And now Jehovah show loving kindness and truth to you. And I also will reward you this kindness because ye have done this thing.
Alò, ke SENYÈ a montre bonte avèk verite Li a nou menm. Konsa, mwen tou, mwen va montre nou bonte sa a akoz nou te fè bagay sa a.
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant, for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
Pou sa, kite men nou rete fò e plen kouraj. Paske mèt nou an, Saül mouri e anplis, kay Juda a te onksyone mwen kòm wa sou yo menm”.
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim.
Men Abner, fis a Ner a, te pran Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la e te mennen li antre Mahanaïm.
9 And he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
Li te fè li wa sou Galaad, sou Gechouryen yo, sou Jizreel, sou Ephraïm ak sou Benjamin, menm sou tout Israël la.
10 Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la te gen karant ane lè l te devni wa sou Israël, e li te wa pandan dezan. Men, lakay Juda te swiv David.
11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Fòs tan ke David te wa nan Hébron sou Juda a se te sèt ane avèk si mwa.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Alò, Abner, fis a Ner a te sòti Mahanaïm kote Gabaon avèk sèvitè a Isch-Boscheth yo, fis a Saül la.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon. And they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
Konsa, Joab, fis a Tseruja a avèk sèvitè a David yo te sòti pou rankontre yo akote sous Gabaon an. Yo te chita konsa, youn nan yon bò sous la e lòt la nan lòtbò sous la.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men, I pray thee, arise and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
Abner te di a Joab: “Alò, kite jennonm yo leve fè yon kou batay devan nou la a.” Joab te reponn: “Kite yo leve.”
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Konsa, yo te leve travèse ak kontwòl, douz pou Benjamin avèk Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül yo e douz pou sèvitè a David yo.
16 And each man caught his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side, so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
Chak te sezi advèsè li nan tèt e te fonse nepe li nan akote advèsè li a; konsa, yo te tonbe atè ansanm. Pou sa, yo te rele plas sa a Helkath-Hatsurim chanm a lam nepe yo ki nan Gabaon.
17 And the battle was very severe that day. And Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
Nan jou sa a, batay la te trè sevè e Abner avèk mesye Israël yo te kale devan sèvitè David yo.
18 And the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
Alò, twa fis a Tseruja yo te la, Joab avèk Abschaï avèk Asaël te vit sou pye yo tankou yon gazèl mawon nan chan.
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner, and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
Asaël te kouri dèyè Abner e pa t vire ni adwat ni agoch nan kouri dèyè Abner.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Is it thou, Asahel? And he answered, It is I.
Alò, Abner te gade dèyè li, e te di: “Èske se ou, Asaël?” Epi li te reponn: “Se mwen.”
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold on one of the young men, and take his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
Konsa, Abner te di li: “Vire vè adwat oswa agoch, pran youn nan jennonm yo pou kont ou e pran pou ou menm nan piyaj la.” Men Asaël pa t dakò pou vire pa swiv li.
22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me. Why should I smite thee to the ground? How then would I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
Abner te repete ankò a Asaël: “Vire pa swiv mwen Poukisa mwen ta frape ou pou jiskaske ou rive atè? Konsa, kijan mwen ta kapab leve figi mwen a frè ou a, Joab?”
23 However he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him. And he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
Sepandan, li te refize vire akote; pou sa, Abner te frape li nan vant avèk frenn li jiskaske li te parèt nan do li Epi li te tonbe la menm e te mouri sou lye a. Epi li te vin rive ke tout moun ki te vini kote Asaël te mouri an, te kanpe an plas.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner. And the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Men Joab avèk Abischaï te kouri dèyè Abner e pandan solèy la t ap bese, yo te rive nan ti mòn a Amma a, ki devan Guiach pa chemen dezè a Gabaon an.
25 And the sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
Fis Benjamin yo te rasanble ansanm dèyè Abner e te devni yon sèl ekip; epi yo te kanpe sou tèt a yon sèten ti mòn.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? Know thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before thou bid the people return from following their brothers?
Alò, Abner te rele Joab e te di: “Èske epe a va devore tout tan? Èske ou pa konprann ke alafen, sa ap vin anmè? Pou konbyen de tan ou va refize di pèp la sispann kouri dèyè frè yo?”
27 And Joab said, As God lives unless thou had spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone up every man from following his brother.
Joab te di: “Jan Bondye viv la, si ou pa t pale; byensi, pèp la t ap kite sa maten an e chak moun t ap sispann swiv frè yo.”
28 So Joab blew the trumpet. And all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more.
Epi Joab te soufle twonpèt la. Konsa, tout pèp la te sispann e yo pa t kouri dèyè Israël ankò, ni yo pa t kontinye goumen ankò.
29 And Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah, and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
Alò, Abner avèk mesye pa li yo te mache nan dezè Araba a tout nwit lan. Yo te travèse Jourdain an, yo te mache tout maten an pou te vini Mahanaïm.
30 And Joab returned from following Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
Alò, Joab te retounen soti swiv Abner. Lè li te fin rasanble tout pèp la ansanm, diz-nèf nan sèvitè David yo anplis ke Asaël te manke.
31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and sixty men died.
Men sèvitè David yo te touye anpil nan mesye Benjamin yo avèk Abner yo, jiskaske te rive twa-san-swasant moun te mouri.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulcher of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke upon them at Hebron.
Yo te pran Asaël e te antere li nan tonm papa li ki te Bethléhem. Epi Joab avèk mesye pa l yo te ale tout nwit lan jiskaske li te vin fè jou kote Hébron.
