2 Samuel 16
1 When David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
Alò, lè David te fin depase krèt la, vwala, Tsiba, sèvitè a Méphiboscheth la te rankontre li avèk yon pè bourik avèk makout. Sou yo, te gen de-san pen, yon santèn grap rezen, yon santèn fwi gran sezon ak yon veso diven.
2 “Why do you have these?” asked the king. Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is to refresh those who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
Wa a te di a Tsiba: “Poukisa ou genyen sila yo?” Epi Tsiba te di: “Bourik yo se pou manm lakay wa yo monte, pen avèk fwi gran sezon an se pou jennonm yo manje e diven an se pou nenpòt moun ki fin pèdi fòs nan dezè a kab bwè.”
3 “Where is your master’s grandson?” asked the king. And Ziba answered, “Indeed, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he has said, ‘Today, the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my grandfather.’”
Alò, wa a te di: “Epi kote fis a mèt ou a?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Men vwala, li rete Jérusalem paske li te di: ‘Jodi a, lakay Israël la va restore wayòm papa m nan a mwen menm.’”
4 So the king said to Ziba, “All that belongs to Mephibosheth is now yours!” “I humbly bow before you,” said Ziba. “May I find favor in your eyes, my lord the king!”
Konsa, wa a te di a Tsiba: “Men vwala, tout sa ki apatyen a Méphiboscheth se pou ou.” Epi Tsiba te di: “Mwen vin bese devan ou nèt; kite mwen twouve gras nan zye ou, O mèt mwen, wa a!”
5 As King David approached Bahurim, a man from the family of the house of Saul was just coming out. His name was Shimei son of Gera, and as he approached, he kept yelling out curses.
Lè Wa David te rive Bachurim, gade byen, te sòti depi la yon mesye ki sòti nan fanmi Saül ki te rele Schimeï, fis a Guéra a. Li te parèt ak pawòl madichon san rete pandan li t ap pwoche.
6 He threw stones at David and at all the servants of the king, though the troops and all the mighty men were on David’s right and left.
Li te jete wòch sou David, sou tout sèvitè a Wa David yo e tout mesye gran kouraj yo te sou men dwat li ak sou men goch li.
7 And as he yelled curses, Shimei said, “Get out, get out, you worthless man of bloodshed!
Konsa, Schimeï te di pandan li t ap voye madichon yo: “Sòti la, sòti la, moun ki vèse san, sanzave!
8 The LORD has paid you back for all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, you have come to ruin because you are a man of bloodshed!”
SENYÈ a gen tan mete sou ou tout san koule lakay Saül, nan plas kote ou te renye a! SENYÈ a te lage wayòm nan nan men fis ou, Absalom. Epi gade, ou pran nan pwòp mechanste ou, paske ou se yon nonm ki vèse san!”
9 Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”
Alò, Abischai, fis a Tseruja a te di a wa a: “Poukisa chen mouri sa a ta dwe modi mèt mwen an, wa a? Kite mwen janbe ale koupe tèt li.”
10 But the king replied, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses me because the LORD told him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why did you do this?’”
Men wa a te di: “Kisa mwen gen avè w, O fis a Tseruja? Si li bay madichon, e si SENYÈ a te di li ‘Modi David’, alò, se kilès k ap di: ‘Poukisa ou te fè sa?’”
11 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son, my own flesh and blood, seeks my life. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse me, for the LORD has told him so.
Alò, David te di a Abischaï e a tout sèvitè li yo: “Gade, fis mwen ki te sòti nan mwen an koulye a ap chache lavi m. Konbyen anplis pou Benjamit sila a? Kite li e kite li bay madichon, paske SENYÈ a te pale li.
12 Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and repay me with good for the cursing I receive today.”
Petèt SENYÈ a va gade afliksyon mwen e remete m bon olye madichon pa sila a nan jou sa a.”
13 So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei went along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he yelled curses, threw stones, and flung dust at David.
Konsa, David avèk mesye pa li yo te fè wout yo. Epi Schimeï te mache akote pant mòn nan vizavi de yo menm. Pandan li t ap prale, li te modi, li te jete wòch, e li te jete pousyè bò kote li.
14 Finally, the king and all the people with him arrived, exhausted. And there he refreshed himself.
Wa a avèk tout moun ki te avèk li yo te rive byen fatige, e yo te vin rafrechi la.
15 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
Alò, Absalom avèk tout pèp la, mesye Israël yo te antre Jérusalem e Achitophel avèk li.
16 And David’s friend Hushai the Archite went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
Konsa, li te vin rive lè Huschaï, Akyen an, zanmi a David la te rive kote Absalom, ke Huschaï te di: “Viv wa a! Viv wa a!”
17 “Is this the loyalty you show your friend?” Absalom replied. “Why did you not go with your friend?”
Absalom te di Huschaï: “Èske sa se fidelite ou pou zanmi ou? Poukisa ou pa t ale avèk zanmi ou an?”
18 “Not at all,” Hushai answered. “For the one chosen by the LORD, by the people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and with him I will remain.
Epi Huschaï te di a Absalom: “Non, paske sila ke SENYÈ a, pèp sa a e tout mesye Israël yo te chwazi a, se pou li menm, mwen va ye, e avèk li menm, mwen va rete.
19 Furthermore, whom should I serve if not the son? As I served in your father’s presence, so also I will serve in yours.”
Anplis de sa, se kilès pou m ta sèvi? Se pa nan prezans a fis li a? Jis jan ke m te sèvi nan prezans papa ou a, konsa mwen va ye nan prezans pa w.”
20 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give me counsel. What should we do?”
Alò, Absalom te di a Achitophel: “Ban m konsèy pa w Kisa nou dwe fè?”
21 Ahithophel replied, “Sleep with your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the palace. When all Israel hears that you have become a stench to your father, then the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”
Achitophel te di a Absalom: “Antre nan ti mennaj papa ou te lese pou okipe kay la; epi tout Israël va tande ke ou te fè tèt ou rayisab a papa ou. Anplis, men a tout sila ki avèk ou yo va vin ranfòse.”
22 So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
Konsa yo te monte yon tant anwo tèt kay la, epi Absalom te antre nan relasyon seksyèl ak tout konkibin papa l yo, devan zye a tout Israël.
23 Now in those days the advice of Ahithophel was like the consultation of the word of God. Such was the regard that both David and Absalom had for Ahithophel’s advice.
Konsèy a Achitophel te konn bay nan jou sa yo te konsidere tankou si yon moun te mande konsèy a pawòl Bondye. Se te konsa tout konsèy Achitophel te ye pou David ak Absalom.
