1 Chronicles 18
1 Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them, and he took Gath and her daughters from the hand of the Philistines.
Or il arriva après cela que David battit les Philistins et les humilia, qu’il enleva Geth et ses filles de la main des Philistins,
2 And he struck Moab. And the Moabites became the servants of David, offering gifts to him.
Qu’il battit aussi Moab, et que les Moabites devinrent serviteurs de David, lui offrant des présents.
3 In that time, David also struck Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, in the region of Hamath, when he went forth so that he might extend his dominion as far as the river Euphrates.
En ce temps, David battit encore Adarézer, roi de Soba, contrée d’Hémath, lorsqu’il alla pour étendre son empire jusqu’au fleuve d’Euphrate.
4 Then David seized one thousand of his four-horse chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, except for one hundred four-horse chariots, which he reserved for himself.
David lui prit donc mille quadriges, et sept mille cavaliers, et vingt mille hommes de pied; il coupa les nerfs des jambes à tous les chevaux des chariots, excepté cent quadriges qu’il réserva pour lui.
5 Then the Syrians of Damascus also arrived, so that they might offer assistance to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And so, David then struck of them twenty-two thousand men.
Or vint encore le Syrien de Damas, pour porter secours à Adarézer, roi de Soba; mais David lui tua aussi vingt-deux mille hommes.
6 And he stationed soldiers in Damascus, so that Syria also would serve him, and would offer gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all the things to which he went forth.
Et il mit des soldats dans Damas, pour que la Syrie aussi lui fût assujettie et offrît des présents. Et le Seigneur l’assista dans tous les lieux où il alla.
7 Also, David took the golden quivers, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
David prit aussi les carquois d’or qu’avaient les serviteurs d’Adarézer, et il les porta à Jérusalem;
8 In addition, from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, he brought very much brass, from which Solomon made the sea of brass, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
Et, de plus, une grande quantité d’airain de Thébath et de Chun, villes d’Adarézer, avec quoi Salomon fit la mer d’airain, et les colonnes, et les vases d’airain.
9 Now when Toi, the king of Hamath, had heard this, specifically that David had struck the entire army of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah,
Or, lorsque Thoü, roi d’Hémath, eut appris que David avait battu toute l’armée d’Adarézer, roi de Soba,
10 he sent his son Hadoram to king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.
Il envoya Adoram, son fils, au roi David, pour lui demander la paix, et lui témoigner sa joie de ce qu’il avait battu et vaincu entièrement Adarézer; car Thoü était ennemi d’Adarézer.
11 Moreover, all the vessels of gold and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, as much from Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines and Amalek.
Mais quant à tous les vases d’or, d’argent et d’airain, David, le roi, les consacra au Seigneur avec l’argent et l’or qu’il avait pris sur toutes les nations, tant sur l’Iduméen, Moab et les enfants d’Ammon, que sur les Philistins et Amalec.
12 Truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of the Salt Pits.
De plus, Abisaï, fils de Sarvia, battit Edom dans la vallée des Salines; c’est-à-dire dix-huit mille Iduméens.
13 And he stationed a garrison in Edom, so that Idumea would serve David. And the Lord saved David in all the things to which he went forth.
Et il établit en Edom une garnison, pour que l’Idumée fût assujettie à David; et le Seigneur conserva David dans tous les lieux où il alla.
14 Therefore, David reigned over all of Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people.
David régna donc sur tout Israël, et il rendait des jugements et la justice à tout son peuple.
15 Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the army, and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.
Mais Joab, fils de Sarvia, commandait l’armée; et Josaphat, fils d’Ahilud, tenait les registres.
16 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Shavsha was the scribe.
Et Sadoc, fils d’Achitob, et Abimélech, fils d’Abiathar, étaient prêtres, et Susa, scribe.
17 Also, Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were first at the hand of the king.
Mais Banaïas, fils de Joïada, commandait les légions des Céréthiens et des Phélétiens; mais les fils de David étaient les premiers auprès du roi.
