1 Kings 2
1 And the days of David were at hand that he should die; and he enjoined Solomon his son saying,
Lè David santi li pral mouri, li rele Salomon, pitit gason l' lan, li ba li dènye volonte l'. Li di l' konsa:
2 I go the way of all the earth: be of good courage therefore, and be a man;
-Talè konsa mwen pral fè dènye gwo vwayaj la tankou tout moun sou latè. Pran kouraj, pitit mwen! Mete gason sou ou!
3 and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest and whithersoever thou turnest thyself;
Se pou ou fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye ou la, va ba ou lòd fè. W'a fè volonte Bondye, w'a mache dapre lòd, kòmandman, regleman ak prensip li bay yo jan sa ekri nan liv Lalwa Moyiz la, pou tout zafè ou mache byen kote ou pase, nan tou sa w'ap fè.
4 that Jehovah may confirm his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee, said he, a man upon the throne of Israel.
Si ou fè sa, Seyè a va kenbe pwomès li te fè a lè l' te di m' si pitit mwen yo mennen bak yo byen, si yo mache dwat devan li ak tout kè yo, ak tout nanm yo, ap toujou gen yonn nan yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la apre mwen.
5 And thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and upon his sandals that were on his feet.
Koulye a, ou konnen sa Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te fè m' lè li te touye de jeneral lame pèp Izrayèl la: Abnè, pitit gason Nè a, ak Amasa, pitit gason Jetè a. Ou chonje jan lè sa a pa t' gen lagè. Li touye yo pou l' te ka tire revanj pou moun mesye sa yo te touye pandan lagè. Li touye de inonsan, kifè jouk jounen jòdi a m'ap pote chaj la pou li, m'ap peye konsekans sa li te fè a.
6 And thou shalt do according to thy wisdom, and not let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Ou konnen sa ou gen pou fè. Pa kite se vyeyès ki touye l'. (Sheol h7585)
7 But shew kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came up to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
W'a aji byen ak pitit gason Bazilayi yo, moun lavil Galarad la. y'a manje sou tab avè ou, paske yo te aji byen avè m' lè mwen t'ap kouri pou Absalon, frè ou la.
8 And behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day that I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
Ou gen ankò bò kote ou Chimeyi, pitit gason Gera a, moun lavil Bakourim nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Benjamen yo. Jou mwen t'ap kouri ale lavil Manayim lan, li te ban m' gwo madichon. Men, lè m' t'ap tounen, li vin kontre m' bò larivyè Jouden. Jou sa a, mwen te fè sèman nan non Seyè a mwen p'ap fè yo touye l'.
9 And now hold him not guiltless; for thou art a wise man, and thou shalt know what thou oughtest to do to him; but bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood. (Sheol h7585)
Men ou menm, pa padonnen l' sa. Ou gen bon konprann, ou konn sa pou ou fè avè l'. Jwenn yon jan pou fè yo touye l' atout li fin vye granmoun lan. (Sheol h7585)
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Lè David mouri yo antere l' nan lavil David la.
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Li pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la: Pandan sètan li te rete lavil Ebwon. Pandan rès tranntwazan yo, li te rete lavil Jerizalèm.
12 And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
Salomon, pitit gason David la, vin wa nan plas papa li. Gouvènman li te byen chita.
13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
Yon jou, Adonija, pitit Agit la, al wè Batcheba, manman Salomon. Batcheba mande l': -Se yon vizit zanmi ou vin fè m' la a? Adonija reponn: -Se sa menm!
14 And he said, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Speak.
Apre sa, li di l': -Mwen gen yon bagay mwen ta renmen mande ou! Batcheba di l': -Kisa l' ye?
15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces on me that I should reign; but the kingdom is turned about and is become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.
Adonija reponn: -Ou konnen se mwen menm ki pou te wa apre papa m'. Lèfini, se sa tout pèp Izrayèl la t'ap tann. Men, sa pase yon lòt jan. Se frè m' lan ki wa koulye a paske se Seyè a ki vle l' konsa.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee; refuse me not. And she said to him, Speak.
Bon, yon sèl favè m'ap mande ou. Pa refize m' li.
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king — for he will not refuse thee — that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.
Batcheba di l': -Pale non! Adonija reponn: -Tanpri, al mande wa Salomon pou l' ban mwen Abichag, tifi lavil Chounam lan, pou madanm mwen. Mwen konnen li p'ap refize ou sa.
18 And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
Batcheba reponn: -Bon, dakò! m'a pale ak wa a pou ou!
19 And Bathsheba went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne; and he caused a throne to be set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand.
Se konsa Batcheba al pale ak wa Salomon pou Adonija. Wa a leve kanpe pou l' resevwa manman l'. Li bese byen ba devan l' pou di l' bonjou. Apre sa, l' al chita sou fotèy li, epi li bay lòd pou yo pote yon lòt fotèy pou manman l' chita bò dwat li.
20 Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; refuse me not. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse thee.
Batcheba di konsa: -Mwen ta renmen mande yon ti favè. Tanpri, pa refize m' sa. W'a reponn: -Manman, mande m' sa ou vle. Mwen p'ap refize ou li.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother as wife.
Batcheba di l': -Kite Adonija, frè ou la, pran Abichag, tifi lavil Chounam lan, pou madanm li.
22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
Wa a reponn manman li, li di li: -Poukisa w'ap mande m' pou m' bay Adonija Abichag, tifi lavil Chounam lan? Ou ta mèt tou mande m' pou m' ba li plas wa a tou, se gran frè m' li ye. Lèfini, li gen Abyata, prèt la, ak Joab, pitit Sewouja a, avè l'.
23 And king Solomon swore by Jehovah saying, God do so to me, and more also, — Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life!
Apre sa Salomon fè sèman sa a devan Seyè a: -Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si mwen pa fè Adonija peye pou sa l' mande m' la a!
24 And now [as] Jehovah liveth, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
Seyè a vivan. Se li menm ki mete m' chita sou fotèy David, papa m' lan. Li kenbe pwomès li, li mete m' chèf. Lèfini, li di se pitit mwen ki pou chèf apre m'. Mwen fè sèman nan non Seyè a, se pou Adonija mouri jòdi a menm.
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who fell on him, that he died.
Se konsa Salomon bay Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, lòd pou l' al touye Adonija. Benaja ale, li touye Adonija.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of Adonai Jehovah before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
Apre sa, wa a pale ak Abyata, prèt la, li di l' konsa. -Ale fè wout ou Anatòt, lakay ou. Ou merite lanmò tou. Men, jòdi a mwen p'ap fè yo touye ou, paske se ou ki te pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a devan David, papa m'. Lèfini, ou te soufri ansanm avè l'.
27 And Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Salomon revoke Abyata, li enpoze l' sèvi tankou prèt Seyè a. Se konsa, sa Seyè a te di lavil Silo sou Eli, prèt la, ak sou pitit li yo, rive vre.
28 And the report came to Joab (for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he had not turned after Absalom); and Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold of the horns of the altar.
Lè Joab vin konnen sa ki te rive, li kouri al kache nan Tant Randevou a. Li kenbe kòn lotèl la pou yo pa touye l'. Joab te pran pozisyon pou Adonija, men li pa t' janm pran pozisyon pou Absalon.
29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of Jehovah; and behold, he is by the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on him.
Y' al di Salomon men Joab kouri al kache nan Tant Randevou a, li kanpe bò lotèl la. Salomon voye Benaja, pitit Jeojada a, pou touye Joab.
30 And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah and said to him, Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said, No; for I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
Benaja ale nan Tant Randevou a, li di Joab konsa: -Wa a bay lòd pou ou soti la a. Joab reponn: -Non. Se isit la m'ap mouri. Benaja tounen al jwenn wa a, li rapòte l' repons Joab te ba li a.
31 And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him; and take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me and from the house of my father.
Wa a reponn: -Fè jan li di ou la. Touye l', lèfini, antere l'. Konsa ni mwen, ni pyès lòt moun nan fanmi papa m' p'ap reskonsab pou sa Joab te fè lè li te touye de inonsan yo.
32 And Jehovah shall requite the blood which he shed upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, without my father David's knowledge: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
Seyè a pral pini Joab pou krim sa yo li te fè san David, papa m', pa t' konnen. Joab te touye de moun inonsan ki te pi bon pase l': Abnè, pitit pitit gason Nè a, kòmandan lame peyi Izrayèl la ak Amasa, pitit gason Jetè a, kòmandan lame peyi Jida a.
33 And their blood shall be requited upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from Jehovah.
Wi, chatiman krim sa yo va tonbe sou Joab ak sou pitit li yo pou tout tan. Men, Seyè a ap toujou bay David ak pitit li yo, fanmi li ak tout wa ki va vin apre l' yo kè poze.
34 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him, and put him to death; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
Se konsa, Benaja tounen nan Tant Randevou a, li touye Joab. Yo antere Joab lakay li nan dezè a.
35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his stead over the host; and Zadok the priest the king put in the stead of Abiathar.
Apre sa, wa a mete Benaja kòmandan lame a nan plas Joab, li mete Zadòk, prèt la, nan plas Abyata.
36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and abide there, and go not forth thence anywhere.
Apre sa, wa a voye chache Chimeyi, li di l' konsa: -Bati yon kay pou ou isit nan lavil Jerizalèm. Se la mwen vle ou rete. Piga ou janm kite lavil la.
37 And it shall be that on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the torrent of Kidron, ...know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
Mwen tou pale ou, jou ou soti kite lavil la, jou ou janbe lòt bò ravin Sedwon an, w'ap mouri wi. Mwen ki di ou sa. Se ou menm ki va reskonsab nenpòt sa ki va rive ou.
38 And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Chimeyi reponn: -Dakò, monwa. m'a fè sa ou di a. Se konsa Chimeyi rete lontan lavil Jerizalèm.
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two servants of Shimei's ran away to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
Twazan apre sa, de nan esklav Chimeyi yo sove, y' al lakay Akich, pitit gason Maka a, ki te wa lavil Gat. Yo vin di Chimeyi esklav li yo te lavil Gat.
40 Then Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
Chimeyi leve, li sele bourik li, l' al chache esklav li yo lakay Akich lavil Gat. Apre sa, li tounen lakay li ansanm ak esklav li yo.
41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.
Yo fè Salomon konnen Chimeyi te soti lavil Jerizalèm ale lavil Gat epi li tounen.
42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make thee swear by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest forth, and walkest abroad anywhere, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst to me, The word that I have heard is good.
Wa a voye chache Chimeyi, li di l' konsa: -Mwen te kwè m' te fè ou pwomèt devan Seyè a pou ou pa janm kite lavil Jerizalèm? Mwen te tou pale ou. Jou w'a soti lavil Jerizalèm pou ale nenpòt ki kote, w'ap mouri. Eske ou pa t' reponn mwen ou te dakò avè m', ou t'ap fè tou sa mwen mande ou la?
43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I charged thee with?
Poukisa atò ou pa kenbe pwomès ou te fè devan Seyè a? Poukisa ou dezobeyi m'?
44 And the king said to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father; and Jehovah returns thy wickedness upon thine own head;
Ou konnen byen pwòp tou sa ou te fè David, papa m'. Seyè a pral pini ou pou sa.
45 and king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever.
Men, l'ap beni m', mwen menm Salomon. L'ap fè gouvènman fanmi David la chita pou tout tan.
46 And the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who went out and fell upon him, and he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
Apre sa, wa a pase Benaja, pitit Jeyoada a, lòd. Benaja soti, l' al touye Chimeyi. Se konsa Chimeyi mouri. Depi lè sa a, Salomon te gen tout pouvwa a nan men l'.
