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 aussi des messagers à David, et des bois de cèdre, et des maçons, 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 le Seigneur l’avait confirmé roi sur Israël, et qu’il avait élevé son royaume sur son peuple Israël.
3 And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.
Il prit encore d’autres femmes à Jérusalem, et il engendra des fils et des filles.
4 These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon
Or voici les noms de ceux qui lui naquirent à Jérusalem: Samua et Sobad, Nathan et Salomon,
5 And Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet
Jébahar, Elisua, et Eliphalet,
6 And Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia
Noga aussi, et Napheg et Japhia,
7 And Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet.
Elisama, Baaliada 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.
Or les Philistins, apprenant que David avait été oint comme roi sur tout Israël, montèrent tous pour le chercher: ce qu’ayant appris David, il sortit au-devant d’eux.
9 Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.
Cependant les Philistins, venant, se répandirent dans la vallée de Raphaïm.
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.
Alors David consulta le Seigneur, disant: Monterai-je contre les Philistins, et les livrerez-vous en ma main? Et le Seigneur lui répondit: Monte, et je les livrerai en ta main.
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.
Lors donc que ceux-ci eurent monté à Baalpharasim, David les battit là, et dit: Le Seigneur a dispersé mes ennemis par ma main, comme les eaux se dispersent: et c’est pourquoi ce lieu fut appelé Baalpharasim.
12 And the Philistines did not take their images with them in their flight; and at David's orders they were burned with fire.
Et les Philistins laissèrent là leurs dieux, et David commanda qu’ils fussent brûlés.
13 Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.
Les Philistins firent encore une autre fois irruption, et se répandirent 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.
Et David consulta Dieu de nouveau; et Dieu lui dit: Ne monte pas après eux, mais éloigne-toi d’eux; et tu viendras contre eux, vis-à-vis des poiriers.
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.
Et lorsque tu entendras le bruit de quelqu’un qui marche au haut des poiriers, alors tu sortiras pour la bataille; car Dieu sortira devant toi pour battre le camp 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 donc comme Dieu lui avait ordonné; et il battit le camp 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.
Ainsi le nom de David se répandit dans toutes les contrées, et le Seigneur inspira la terreur de ce prince à toutes les nations.
