1 Chronicles 19
1 And it came to pass after this that Nahash king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
Alò, li te vin rive apre sa, ke Nachasch, wa a fis a Ammon yo te mouri e fis li a te devni wa nan plas li.
2 And David said, I will shew kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
Epi David te di: “Mwen va montre favè a Hanun, fis a Nachasch la, akoz papa li te montre m favè.” Pou sa, David te voye mesaje pou konsole li selon lanmò papa li. Sèvitè David yo te antre nan peye fis a Ammon yo pou konsole Hanun.
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Is it, in thine eyes, to honour thy father that David has sent comforters to thee? Is it not to search and overthrow, and to spy out the land that his servants are come to thee?
Men chèf a fis a Ammon yo te di a Hanun: “Èske ou kwè ke David ap bay papa ou onè akoz li voye moun rekonfòte yo? Èske sèvitè li yo pa vin kote ou pou chèche fè espyonaj pou boulvèse peyi a?”
4 And Hanun took David's servants, and had them shaved, and their raiment cut off in the midst, as far as the hip, and sent them away.
Epi Hanun te pran sèvitè David yo e te taye tout cheve yo, koupe vètman yo nan mitan jis rive nan kwis e te voye yo ale.
5 And [certain] went and told David concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Abide at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
Alò, kèk moun te ale pale David konsènan afè mesye yo. Epi li te voye rankontre yo, paske mesye sa yo te byen wont. Epi wa a te di: “Rete Jéricho jiskaske bab nou vin grandi ankò e retounen.”
6 And the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and from the Syrians of Maacah, and from Zobah.
Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke yo te fè tèt yo rayisab a David, Hanun avèk fis a Ammon yo te voye mil talan ajan Mésopotamie pou achte sèvis a cha avèk chevalye Siryen ki te sòti nan Maaca avèk Tsoba.
7 And they hired thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; and they came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.
Konsa, yo te achte sèvis a trann-de-mil cha e wa Maaca a avèk pèp li a, ki te vin fè kan devan Médeba a. Fis a Ammon yo te rasanble soti nan vil pa yo pou te vin batay.
8 And David heard [of it], and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men.
Lè David tande sa, li te voye Joab avèk tout lame, mesye pwisan yo.
9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the city; and the kings that had come were by themselves on the field.
Fis a Ammon yo te vin parèt, te rale yo nan chan batay la nan antre vil la e wa ki te vini yo te la apa pou kont yo nan chan an.
10 And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians;
Alò, lè Joab te wè ke batay la te prepare kont li ni devan, ni dèyè; li te chwazi soti nan mesye pi chwazi pami tout Israël yo e yo te alinye yo kont Siryen yo.
11 and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
Men retay a pèp la, li te plase nan men Abischaï, frè li a; epi yo te alinye yo kont fis Ammon yo.
12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
Li te di: “Si Siryen yo twò fò pou mwen, alò ou va ede m; men si fis a Ammon twò fò pou ou; alò, mwen va ede ou.
13 Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah will do what is good in his sight.
Kenbe fèm e annou montre kouraj nou pou koz pèp nou ak pou vil Bondye pa nou yo. Epi ke SENYÈ a va fè sa ki bon nan zye li.”
14 And Joab and the people that were with him drew near in front of the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.
Konsa, Joab avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te ale toupre batay la kont Siryen yo e yo te sove ale devan li.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. And Joab came to Jerusalem.
Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke Siryen yo te sove ale, yo te sove ale osi devan Abischaï, frè li a e te antre lavil la. Epi Joab te vini Jérusalem.
16 And when the Syrians saw that they were routed before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river; and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.
Lè Siryen yo te wè ke yo te bat pa Israël, yo te voye mesaje pou te mennen fè sòti Siryen ki te lòtbò Rivyè a, avèk Schophach, chèf lame Hadarézer ki t ap dirije yo a.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set [the battle] in array against them. And David put the battle in array against the Syrians, and they fought with him.
Lè bagay sa a te pale a David, li te ranmase tout Israël ansanm, te travèse Jourdain an, te vin parèt sou yo e te rale nan fòmasyon batay kont yo a. Epi lè David te rale nan fòmasyon batay la kont Siryen yo, yo te goumen kont li.
18 And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand [in] chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and slew Shophach the captain of the host.
Siryen yo te sove ale devan Israël e David te touye nan Siryen yo, sèt-mil mèt cha avèk karant-mil sòlda a pye e te mete a lanmò Schophach, chèf lame a.
19 And the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with David, and became his servants. And the Syrians would no more help the children of Ammon.
Konsa, lè sèvitè a Hadarézer yo te wè ke yo te fin bat pa Israël, yo te fè lapè avèk David e te sèvi li. Konsa, Siryen yo pa t janm dakò ankò pou ede fis a Ammon yo.
