2 Samuel 8
1 Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
Konsa, li te vin rive ke David te bat Filisten yo e te mete yo anba lòd. David te pran kontwòl a vil prensipal la soti nan men a Filisten yo.
2 David also defeated the Moabites, made them lie down on the ground, and measured them off with a cord. He measured off with two lengths those to be put to death, and with one length those to be spared. So the Moabites became subject to David and brought him tribute.
Li te bat Moab, li te mezire kaptif yo avèk yon lign. Konsa li te fè yo kouche atè, li te mezire longè de lign pou mete yo a lanmò, ak yon lign antye pou lèse yo viv. Epi Moabit yo te devni sèvitè a David e yo te pote peye taks obligatwa.
3 David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, who had marched out to restore his dominion along the Euphrates River.
Alò, David te bat Hadadézer, fis a Rehob la, wa a Tsoba, pandan li te nan wout pou reprann kontwòl li nan Rivyè Euphrate la.
4 David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
David te kaptire soti nan men li, mil-sèt-san chevalye avèk ven-mil sòlda a pye. Li te koupe jarèt a cheval cha yo, men li te konsève kont nan yo pou rale yon santèn cha.
5 When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
Lè Siryen a Damas yo te vini pou bay sekou a Hadadézer, wa a Tsoba a, David te touye venn-de-mil Siryen.
6 Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Epi David te mete anplasman sòlda pami Siryen Damas yo. Siryen yo te vin soumèt a David e te pote taks obligatwa. Epi SENYÈ a te ede David tout kote li te ale.
7 And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
David te pran boukliye fèt an lò ki te pote pa sèvitè a Hadadézer yo e li te mennen yo Jérusalem.
8 And from Betah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a large amount of bronze.
Soti nan Béthach avèk Bérothaï, vil a Hadadézer yo, Wa David te pran yon gran kantite bwonz.
9 When King Toi of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
Alò lè Thoï, wa a Hamath la te tande ke David te bat tout lame a Hadadézer a.
10 he sent his son Joram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Toi. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze,
Konsa, Thoï te voye Joram, fis li a kote Wa David pou salye li e fè li felisitasyon akoz li te goumen kont Hadadézer e te bat li. Paske Hadadézer t ap fè lagè avèk Thoï. Epi Joram te mennen avèk li bagay fèt an ajan, an lò, e an bwonz.
11 and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
Wa David te dedye sa yo osi a SENYÈ a, avèk ajan ak lò ke li te dedye soti nan tout nasyon ke Li te soumèt anba li menm yo:
12 from Edom and Moab, from the Ammonites and Philistines and Amalekites, and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
Soti nan Syrie avèk Moab, fis a Ammon yo, Filisten yo avèk Amalekit yo, ak piyaj ki te soti osi nan Hadadézer, fis a Thoï a, wa a Tsoba a.
13 And David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
Konsa, David te vin fè yon non byen koni pou kont li, lè li te retounen soti nan touye dizui-mil Siryen nan Vale Sèl la.
14 He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
Li te etabli anplasman militè yo nan Édom. Nan tout Édom, li te fè anplasman militè e tout Edomit yo te devni sèvitè a David. Konsa, SENYÈ a te ede David tout kote li te ale.
15 Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
David te renye sou tout Israël. Li te administre lajistis avèk ladwati pou tout pèp li a.
16 Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
Joab, fis Tseruja a te sou lame a e Josaphat, fis a Achilud la te grefye a.
17 Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Seraiah was the scribe;
Tsadok, fis a Achithub la avèk Achilémec, fis a Abithar a te prèt e Tseriah te sekretè.
18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priestly leaders.
Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te chèf sou Keretyen avèk Peletyen yo; epi fis a David yo te chèf ministè leta yo.
