1 Chronicles 14
1 And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.
Hiram, roi de Tyr, envoya des messagers à David, avec du bois de cèdre, ainsi que des tailleurs de pierres et des charpentiers, pour lui bâtir une maison.
2 And David saw that the Lord had made his position safe as king over Israel, lifting up his kingdom on high because of his people Israel.
Et David reconnut que Yahweh l’affermissait comme roi sur Israël, car son royaume était haut élevé, à cause de son peuple d’Israël.
3 And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.
David prit encore des femmes à Jérusalem et il engendra encore des fils et des filles.
4 These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon
Voici les noms des enfants qu’il eut à Jérusalem: Samua, Sobad, Nathan, Salomon,
5 And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet
Jébahar, Elisua, Eliphalet,
6 And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia
Noga, Népheg, Japhia,
7 And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Baaiada et Eliphalet.
8 And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.
Les Philistins apprirent que David avait été oint pour roi sur tout Israël; alors tous les Philistins montèrent pour rechercher David. David l’apprit, et il sortit au-devant d’eux.
9 Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Les Philistins, étant venus, se précipitèrent dans la vallée des Rephaïm.
10 And David, desiring directions from God, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? and will you give them into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up; for I will give them into your hands.
David consulta Dieu, en disant: « Monterai-je contre les Philistins? Les livrerez-vous entre mes mains? « Et Yahweh lui dit: « Monte, et je les livrerai entre tes mains. »
11 So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.
Ils montèrent à Baal-Pharasim, et là David les battit. Et David dit: « Dieu a brisé mes ennemis par ma main, comme les eaux brisent les digues. « C’est pourquoi on a donné à ce lieu le nom de Baal-Pharasim.
12 And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.
Ils laissèrent là leurs dieux. Et David dit qu’on les livre au feu.
13 Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.
Les Philistins se précipitèrent de nouveau dans la vallée.
14 And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-trees.
David consulta encore Dieu, et Dieu lui dit: « Ne monte pas après eux; détourne-toi d’eux, et tu arriveras sur eux du côté des balsamiers.
15 And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.
Quand tu entendras un bruit de pas dans les cimes des balsamiers, alors tu sortiras pour combattre, car Dieu sortira devant toi pour battre l’armée des Philistins. »
16 And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
David fit comme Dieu le lui ordonnait, et ils battirent l’armée des Philistins depuis Gabaon jusqu’à Gazer.
17 And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations.
La renommée de David se répandit dans tous les pays, et Yahweh le fit craindre à toutes les nations.
