< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 Now after these things, it happened that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned after him.
Li te vin rive apre ke wa a Amoreyen an te mouri e Hanun, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
2 And David said, “I will show mercy to Hanun, the son of Nahash, just as his father showed mercy to me.” Therefore, David sent consolation to him, by his servants, over the passing of his father. But when the servants of David had arrived in the land of the sons of Ammon,
Konsa, David te di: “Mwen va montre bòn volonte mwen a Hanun, fis a Nachasch la, jis jan ke papa li te montre m bòn volonte a.” Konsa, David te voye kèk nan sèvitè li yo pou konsole li konsènan papa li. Konsa, sèvitè a David yo te rive nan peyi Amonit yo.
3 the leaders of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, their lord: “Do you think it was because of the honor of your father that David sent consolers to you? And did not David send his servants to you, so that he might investigate and explore the city, and so that he might overthrow it?”
Men prens a Amonit yo te di a Hanun, mèt pa yo a: “Èske ou kwè ke David ap onore papa ou akoz li te voye moun konsole ou? Èske David pa t pito voye sèvitè li yo kote ou pou fè ankèt vil la, pou espyone ak boulvèse li?”
4 And so, Hanun took the servants of David, and he shaved off one half part of their beards, and he cut their garments at the middle, as far as the buttocks, and he sent them away.
Konsa, Hanun te pran sèvitè a David yo, li te pase razwa sou mwatye bab yo, li te koupe manto yo jis rive nan mitan kote kwis yo, e li te voye yo ale.
5 And when this had been reported to David, he sent to meet them. And the men were greatly disturbed by shame. And David commanded them, “Remain in Jericho, until your beards grow, and then return.”
Lè yo te pale David sa, li te voye rankontre yo, paske mesye yo te imilye anpil. Epi wa a te di: “Rete Jéricho jiskaske bab nou vin pouse e konsa, retounen.”
6 Now the sons of Ammon, seeing that they had done an injury to David, sent for, and paid wages to, the Syrians of Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand foot soldiers, and from the king of Maacah, one thousand men, and from Tob, twelve thousand men.
Alò, lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke yo te vin rayisab devan David, fis a Ammon yo te voye anplwaye Siryen yo Beth-Rehob e Siryen yo a Tsoba, ven-mil sòlda a pye, wa Macca avèk mil lòm e mesye a Tob yo avèk douz-mil lòm.
7 And when David had heard this, he sent Joab and the entire army of warriors.
Lè David te tande sa, li te voye Joab avèk tout lame mesye vanyan yo.
8 Then the sons of Ammon went forth, and they positioned their battle line before the very entrance of the gates. But the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and of Tob, and of Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Fis a Ammon yo te vin parèt. Yo te ranje yo nan chan batay la devan antre vil la, pandan Siryen a Tsoba yo avèk Rehob, mesye a Tob yo avèk Maaca pou kont yo te nan chan an.
9 And so, seeing that the battle had been prepared against him, both facing him and behind, Joab chose some from all of the elect men of Israel, and he set up a battle line opposite the Syrians.
Alò, lè Joab te wè ke batay la te ranje kont li pa devan kon pa dèyè, li te seleksyone pami mesye pi chwazi an Israël yo pou te ranje yo kont Siryen yo.
10 But the remaining part of the people he delivered to his brother Abishai, who formed a battle line against the sons of Ammon.
Men rès nan pèp la, li te plase yo nan men Abischaï, frè li a e li te ranje yo kont fis Ammon yo.
11 And Joab said: “If the Syrians prevail against me, then you shall assist me. But if the sons of Ammon prevail against you, then I will assist you.
Li te di: “Si Siryen yo twò fò pou mwen, alò, ou va ban m sekou; men si fis a Ammon yo twò fò pou ou, alò, mwen va vin ede ou.
12 Be valiant men. And let us fight on behalf of our people and the city of our God. Then the Lord will do what is good in his own sight.”
Pran kouraj e kite nou parèt ak tout fòs nou pou koz a pèp nou an e pou vil Bondye pa nou an. Ke SENYÈ a kapab fè sa ki bon nan zye Li.”
13 And so, Joab, and the people who were with him, undertook the conflict against the Syrians, who immediately fled before their face.
Konsa, Joab avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te rapwoche nan batay la kont Siryen yo e yo te sove ale devan yo.
14 Then, seeing that the Syrians had fled, the sons of Ammon themselves also fled from the face of Abishai, and they entered into the city. And Joab returned from the sons of Ammon, and he went to Jerusalem.
Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke Siryen yo te sove ale, yo osi te sove ale devan Abischaï e te antre nan vil la. Alò, Joab te retounen sispann goumen kont fis a Ammon yo pou te rive kote Jérusalem.
15 And so, the Syrians, seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
Lè Siryen yo te wè ke yo te fin bat pa Israël, yo te vin rasanble ansanm.
16 And Hadadezer sent and brought the Syrians who were beyond the river, and he led in their army. And Shobach, the ruler of the military of Hadadezer, was their leader.
Epi Hadarézer te voye chache Siryen ki te pi lwen Rivyè Euphrate la pou yo te vini Hélam. Schobac, Kòmandan a lame a Hadarézer a te sou tèt yo.
17 And when this had been reported to David, he drew together all of Israel. And he crossed over the Jordan, and he went to Helam. And the Syrians formed a battle line opposite David, and they fought against him.
Alò, lè sa te pale a David, li te rasanble tout Israël ansanm e te travèse Jourdain an pou te rive vè Hélam. Konsa, Siryen yo te alinye yo pou rankontre David e te goumen kont li.
18 And the Syrians fled before the face of Israel. And David killed, among the Syrians, the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen. And he struck down Shobach, the leader of the military, who immediately died.
Men Siryen yo te sove ale devan Israël. David te touye sèt-san mèt a cha Siryen, karant-mil chevalye e te frape fè desann Schobac, kòmandan lame pa yo a, e li te mouri la.
19 Then all the kings who were in the reinforcements of Hadadezer, seeing themselves to be defeated by Israel, were very afraid and they fled: fifty-eight thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel, and they served them. And the Syrians were afraid to offer assistance to the sons of Ammon anymore.
Lè tout wa yo, sèvitè a Hadarézer yo te wè ke yo te pèdi devan Israël, yo te fè lapè avèk Israël pou te sèvi yo. Konsa, Siryen yo te vin gen krent pou ede fis a Ammon yo ankò.
