2 Samuel 10
1 Some time later, the king of the Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son Hanun.
Li te vin rive apre ke wa a Amoreyen an te mouri e Hanun, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
2 And David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent some of his servants to console Hanun concerning his father. But when they arrived in the land of the Ammonites,
Konsa, David te di: “Mwen va montre bòn volonte mwen a Hanun, fis a Nachasch la, jis jan ke papa li te montre m bòn volonte a.” Konsa, David te voye kèk nan sèvitè li yo pou konsole li konsènan papa li. Konsa, sèvitè a David yo te rive nan peyi Amonit yo.
3 the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Has not David instead sent his servants to explore the city, spy it out, and overthrow it?”
Men prens a Amonit yo te di a Hanun, mèt pa yo a: “Èske ou kwè ke David ap onore papa ou akoz li te voye moun konsole ou? Èske David pa t pito voye sèvitè li yo kote ou pou fè ankèt vil la, pou espyone ak boulvèse li?”
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off half of each man’s beard, cut off their garments at the hips, and sent them away.
Konsa, Hanun te pran sèvitè a David yo, li te pase razwa sou mwatye bab yo, li te koupe manto yo jis rive nan mitan kote kwis yo, e li te voye yo ale.
5 When this was reported to David, he sent messengers to meet the men, since they had been thoroughly humiliated. The king told them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown back, and then return.”
Lè yo te pale David sa, li te voye rankontre yo, paske mesye yo te imilye anpil. Epi wa a te di: “Rete Jéricho jiskaske bab nou vin pouse e konsa, retounen.”
6 When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench to David, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth-rehob and Zoba, as well as a thousand men from the king of Maacah and twelve thousand men from Tob.
Alò, lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke yo te vin rayisab devan David, fis a Ammon yo te voye anplwaye Siryen yo Beth-Rehob e Siryen yo a Tsoba, ven-mil sòlda a pye, wa Macca avèk mil lòm e mesye a Tob yo avèk douz-mil lòm.
7 On hearing this, David sent Joab and the entire army of mighty men.
Lè David te tande sa, li te voye Joab avèk tout lame mesye vanyan yo.
8 The Ammonites marched out and arrayed themselves for battle at the entrance of the city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.
Fis a Ammon yo te vin parèt. Yo te ranje yo nan chan batay la devan antre vil la, pandan Siryen a Tsoba yo avèk Rehob, mesye a Tob yo avèk Maaca pou kont yo te nan chan an.
9 When Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Arameans.
Alò, lè Joab te wè ke batay la te ranje kont li pa devan kon pa dèyè, li te seleksyone pami mesye pi chwazi an Israël yo pou te ranje yo kont Siryen yo.
10 And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother Abishai, who arrayed them against the Ammonites.
Men rès nan pèp la, li te plase yo nan men Abischaï, frè li a e li te ranje yo kont fis Ammon yo.
11 “If the Arameans are too strong for me,” said Joab, “then you will come to my rescue. And if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to your rescue.
Li te di: “Si Siryen yo twò fò pou mwen, alò, ou va ban m sekou; men si fis a Ammon yo twò fò pou ou, alò, mwen va vin ede ou.
12 Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
Pran kouraj e kite nou parèt ak tout fòs nou pou koz a pèp nou an e pou vil Bondye pa nou an. Ke SENYÈ a kapab fè sa ki bon nan zye Li.”
13 So Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
Konsa, Joab avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te rapwoche nan batay la kont Siryen yo e yo te sove ale devan yo.
14 When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before Abishai, and they entered the city. So Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke Siryen yo te sove ale, yo osi te sove ale devan Abischaï e te antre nan vil la. Alò, Joab te retounen sispann goumen kont fis a Ammon yo pou te rive kote Jérusalem.
15 When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they regrouped.
Lè Siryen yo te wè ke yo te fin bat pa Israël, yo te vin rasanble ansanm.
16 Hadadezer sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, and they came to Helam with Shobach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
Epi Hadarézer te voye chache Siryen ki te pi lwen Rivyè Euphrate la pou yo te vini Hélam. Schobac, Kòmandan a lame a Hadarézer a te sou tèt yo.
17 When this was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan, and went to Helam. Then the Arameans arrayed themselves against David and fought against him.
Alò, lè sa te pale a David, li te rasanble tout Israël ansanm e te travèse Jourdain an pou te rive vè Hélam. Konsa, Siryen yo te alinye yo pou rankontre David e te goumen kont li.
18 But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also struck down Shobach the commander of their army, who died there.
Men Siryen yo te sove ale devan Israël. David te touye sèt-san mèt a cha Siryen, karant-mil chevalye e te frape fè desann Schobac, kòmandan lame pa yo a, e li te mouri la.
19 When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.
Lè tout wa yo, sèvitè a Hadarézer yo te wè ke yo te pèdi devan Israël, yo te fè lapè avèk Israël pou te sèvi yo. Konsa, Siryen yo te vin gen krent pou ede fis a Ammon yo ankò.
