2 Samuel 20
1 There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”
Alò, te gen yon sanzave ki te la ki te rele Schéba, fis a Bicri, yon Benjamit. Konsa, li te soufle twonpèt la e te di: “Nou pa gen anyen nan David, ni nou pa gen eritaj nan fis Jesse a. Tout moun rive nan tant pa li yo, O Israël!”
2 So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah joined with their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Konsa, tout mesye Israël yo te sispann swiv David, e yo te swiv Schéba, fis a Bicri a. Men mesye Juda yo te rete lwayal a wa pa yo a, soti nan Jourdain an, jis rive Jérusalem.
3 David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in custody and provided them with sustenance, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
David te rive kote lakay li Jérusalem. Epi wa a te pran dis fanm sa yo, ti mennaj ke li te kite pou okipe kay la. Li te mete yo sou siveyans e te bay yo manje, men li pa t antre nan yo. Konsa, yo te rete fèmen jis rive jou ke yo te mouri an e te viv tankou vèv.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.”
Alò, wa a te di a Amasa: “Rele fè sòti pou mwen mesye Juda yo avan twa jou e ou menm, vin prezan isit la.”
5 So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together, but he stayed longer than the set time which had been appointed to him.
Konsa, Amasa te ale rele mesye Juda yo, men li te pran reta plis tan ke li te dwe pran an.
6 David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”
Epi David te di a Abischaï: “Koulye a Schéba, fis a Bicri a, va fè nou plis mal ke Absalom. Pran sèvitè mèt ou yo e kouri dèyè li, pou li pa twouve pou kont li vil ki ranfòse pou chape devan zye nou.”
7 Joab’s men went out after him with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
Konsa, mesye Abischaï yo te sòti dèyè li, ansanm avèk Keretyen yo, Peletyen yo ak tout mesye vanyan yo. Epi yo te kite Jérusalem pou kouri dèyè Schéba, fis a Bicri a.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out.
Lè yo te la nan gwo wòch ki Gabaon an, Amasa te vin rankontre yo. Alò Joab te abiye an vètman militè e sou li, te gen yon sentiwon avèk yon nepe nan fouwo li ki te tache nan senti li; epi pandan li t ap avanse, nepe a te vin tonbe parèt.
9 Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Joab te di Amasa: “Èske sa byen avèk ou, frè m?” Epi Joab te kenbe Amasa pa bab li avèk men dwat pou bo li.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body and shed out his bowels to the ground, and did not strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
Men Amasa pa t veye kont nepe ki te nan men Joab la. Konsa, li te frape li nan vant avèk li e zantray li te vide tonbe atè e san frape l ankò, li te mouri. Alò Joab avèk Abischaï, frè li a, te kouri dèyè Schéba, fis a Bicri a.
11 One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”
Alò, akote li, te kanpe youn nan jennonm a Joab yo, ki te di: “Nenpòt moun ki pou Joab e nenpòt moun ki pou David, kite li swiv Joab.”
12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
Men Amasa te kouche tòde vire nan san li nan mitan granchemen an. Epi lè nonm nan te wè ke tout moun te kanpe, li te deplase Amasa soti nan granchemen an rive nan chan an e li te jete yon vètman sou li lè li te wè ke tout moun ki te pase kote li te vin kanpe.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
Depi li te rete sou granchemen an, tout mesye yo te pase ale dèyè Joab pou kouri dèyè Schéba, fis a Bicri a.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, to Beth Maacah, and all the Berites. They were gathered together, and went also after him.
Alò, li te pase nan tout tribi Israël yo jis rive Abel, menm jis nan Beth-Maaca ak tout Berit yo. Yo te rasanble ansanm pou te ale dèyè li tou.
15 They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.
Yo te vin fè syèj sou li nan Abel Beth-Maaca. Yo te monte yon ran syèj kont vil la. Li te kanpe rive nan mi ranpa e tout moun ki te avèk Joab yo t ap kraze pou yo fè mi an tonbe.
16 Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, ‘Come near here, that I may speak with you.’”
Epi yon fanm lespri te rele soti nan vil la: “Koute, koute! Souple di Joab: ‘Vin isit la pou m kab pale avèk ou.’ Koute pawòl a sèvant ou an.” Epi li te reponn: “M ap koute.”
17 He came near to her; and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Hear the words of your servant.” He answered, “I am listening.”
Konsa, li te pwoche li e fanm nan te di: “Èske se Joab ke ou ye?” Epi li te reponn: “Se mwen”. Alò, li te di li: “Koute pawòl a sèvant ou an.” Epi li te reponn: “M ap koute.”
18 Then she spoke, saying, “They used to say in old times, ‘They shall surely ask counsel at Abel,’ and so they settled a matter.
Epi li te pale e te di: “Lontan yo te konn di: ‘Yo va anverite mande konsèy nan Abel,’ e se konsa, yo te rezoud pwoblèm nan.
19 I am among those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the LORD’s inheritance?”
Mwen pami sila ki pezib e fidèl an Israël yo. W ap chache detwi yon vil, menm yon manman an Israël. Poukisa ou ta anglouti tout eritaj SENYÈ a?”
20 Joab answered, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
Joab te reponn: “Lwen de sa, lwen de mwen pou mwen ta anglouti, oswa detwi!
21 The matter is not so. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David. Just deliver him, and I will depart from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
Se pa konsa ka a ye! Men yon nonm soti nan peyi ti mòn Ephraïm nan, Schéba, fis a Bicri a, selon non li, li te leve men li kont Wa David. Sèlman, lonje bannou li e mwen va kite vil la.” Epi fanm nan te di a Joab: “Gade byen, se tèt li m ap jete ba ou sou mi an.”
22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. Then Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
Alò, fanm lespri a te vin kote tout pèp la. Epi yo te koupe tèt aSchéba, fis Bicri a e te jete li bay Joab. Konsa, li te soufle twonpèt la e yo te lèse kite vil la. Chak moun te ale kote tant pa yo. Joab, anplis, te retounen kote wa a Jérusalem.
23 Now Joab was over all the army of Israel, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,
Alò, Joab te sou tèt tout lame Israël la e Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te sou Keretyen yo avèk Peletyen yo;
24 Adoram was over the men subject to forced labor, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder,
epi Adoram te sou travay fòse a e Josaphat, fis a Achilud la te grefye a;
25 Sheva was scribe, Zadok and Abiathar were priests,
epi Scheja te sekretè a e Tsadok avèk Abiathar te prèt;
26 and Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
epi Ira, Jayirit la te yon prèt osi pou David.
