2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me, I pray, choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David to-night;
Anplis, Achitophel te di a Absalom: “Souple, kite mwen chwazi douz-mil òm pou m kab leve kouri dèyè David aswè a menm.
2 and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only;
Mwen va vini sou li pandan li fatige e bouke e fè l vin sezi pou tout moun ki avèk li yo kouri ale. Konsa, se sèl wa a mwen va frape touye,
3 and I will bring back all the people to thee. The man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: all the people shall be in peace.
epi mwen va fè retounen tout moun yo a ou menm. Retou a tout moun yo depann de nonm ou chache a; answit, tout pèp la va anpè.”
4 And the saying was right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
Konsa, plan an te fè Absalom avèk tout ansyen Israël yo kontan.
5 And Absalom said, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and we will hear also what he says.
Alò, Absalom te di: “Alò, rele Huschaï, Akyen an tou e annou tande sa ke li gen pou di.”
6 And Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom spoke to him saying, Ahithophel has spoken after this manner: shall we carry out his word? If not, speak thou.
Lè Huschaï te rive a Absalom, Absalom te di li: “Achitophel te pale konsa. Èske nou dwe fè plan pa li a? Si se pa sa, pale.”
7 And Hushai said to Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good.
Konsa, Huschaï te di a Absalom: “Fwa sa a, konsèy ke Achitophel te bay la, pa bon.”
8 And Hushai said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are of exasperated spirit, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
Anplis, Huschaï te di: “Ou konnen papa ou avèk mesye pa li yo se mesye plen kouraj e fewòs, tankou yon lous ki pèdi pitit li nan chan. Epi papa ou gen gwo eksperyans lagè e li p ap pase nwit lan avèk pèp la.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or some such place; and it will come to pass, when some of them fall at the first, whoever heareth it will say, There has been slaughter among the people that follow Absalom,
Gade byen, depi koulye a, li gen tan kache nan youn nan kavèn yo oswa nan yon lòt plas; epi li va rive ke lè li tonbe sou yo nan premye atak la, ke nenpòt moun ki tande va di: ‘Gen yon masak ki fèt pami moun ki swiv Absalom yo.’
10 and even the valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion shall utterly melt; for all Israel knows that thy father is a mighty man, and they that are with him are valiant men.
Epi menm sila ki gen gwo kouraj yo, ki gen kè tankou kè a lyon yo, va vin pèdi kouraj nèt; paske tout Israël konnen ke papa ou se yon nonm pwisan e sila ki avèk li yo se mesye vanyan.
11 But I counsel that all Israel be speedily gathered to thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
Men konsèy pa m se ke tout Israël vin, anverite, rasanble bò kote ou, soti nan Dan jis rive nan Beer-Schéba, tankou sab bò lanmè an gran kantite, e ke ou menm, pèsonèlman antre nan batay la.
12 And we shall come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
Konsa, nou va vini sou li nan plas kote li kapab twouve yo, nou va tonbe sou li tankou lawouze tonbe atè; epi konsènan li avèk tout mesye ki avèk li yo, p ap gen menm youn ki rete.
13 And if he withdraw into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the torrent, until there be not one small stone found there.
Si li retire li nan yon vil, alò, tout Israël va mennen kòd kote vil sila a e yo va rale li nèt antre nan vale a jis nanpwen yon ti wòch ki rete.”
14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. And Jehovah had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, in order that Jehovah might bring evil upon Absalom.
Alò, Absalom avèk tout mesye Israël yo te di: “Konsèy Huschaï pi bon ke konsèy Achitophel la.” Paske SENYÈ a te deja detèmine pou anile bon konsèy Achitophel la, pou SENYÈ a ta kapab fè gwo dezas rive Absalom.
15 And Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
Epi Huschaï te di a Tsadok avèk Abiathar, prèt yo: “Sa se konsèy sa a ke Achitophel te bay Absalom avèk ansyen a Israël yo e se sa ke mwen te konseye.
16 And now send quickly, and tell David saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
Alò, pou sa, voye vit pale David e di: ‘Pa pase nwit lan kote ki pou janbe dlo rive nan dezè a, men fè sèten ke nou janbe, oswa wa a avèk tout moun ki avèk li yo va vin detwi.’”
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and the maid went and told them; and they went and told king David, for they might not be seen to come into the city.
Alò, Jonathan avèk Achimaats te rete En-Rougel. Yon sèvant te gen pou ale pale yo pou yo ta ale avèti Wa David, paske yo pa t kapab kite moun wè yo antre nan vil la.
18 But a lad saw them, and told Absalom. Then they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down there.
Men yon gason te wè yo kanmenm e te di Absalom. Pou sa, yo te pati vit rive lakay a yon mesye Bachurim ki te gen yon pwi nan lakou a, e yo te desann antre ladann.
19 And the woman took and spread the covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn on it; and the thing was not known.
Konsa, fanm nan te pran yon kouvèti. Li te ouvri li sou bouch pwi a, e li te gaye sereyal sou li jiskaske yo pa t konnen anyen.
20 And Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone over the brook of water. And they sought and could not find [them], and returned to Jerusalem.
Alò, sèvitè a Absalom yo te vin kote fanm nan lakay li e te di: “Kote Achimaats avèk Jonathan?” Epi fanm nan te di yo: “Yo fin janbe dlo a.” Konsa, lè yo te chache e pa t kab jwenn yo, yo te retounen Jérusalem.
21 And it came to pass after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said to David, Arise and pass quickly over the water; for thus has Ahithophel counselled against you.
Li te vin rive lè yo te fin ale ke yo te monte sòti nan pwi a, yo te ale pale Wa David e yo te di David: “Leve, travèse dlo a byen vit paske Achitophel te bay konsèy kont ou.”
22 Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over the Jordan; by the morning light there was not one of them missing that had not gone over the Jordan.
Alò, David avèk tout moun ki te avèk li yo te leve janbe Jourdain an. Lè solèy te vin leve, pa t gen youn ki rete ki pa t janbe Jourdain an.
23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose and went to his house, to his city, and gave charge to his household, and hanged himself, and he died; and he was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
Alò, lè Achitophel te wè ke konsèy pa li a pa t swiv, li te sele bourik li e li te leve ale lakay li nan vil li a. Li te mete lakay li an lòd e te trangle pwòp tèt li. Konsa, li te mouri e te antere nan tonm a papa li.
24 And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Alò, David te rive Mahanaïm. Epi Absalom te travèse Jourdain an, li menm avèk tout mesye Israël yo avèk yo.
25 And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab; which Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
Absalom te mete Amasa sou tèt lame a nan plas Joab. Alò Amasa te fis a yon mesye ki te rele Jithra, Izrayelit la, ki te antre nan Abigail, fi a Nachasch, sè a Tseruja a, manman a Joab.
26 And Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.
Epi Israël avèk Absalom te fè kan nan peyi Galaad la.
27 And as soon as David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
Alò, lè David te vini Mahanaïm, Schobi, fis a Nachasch ki sòti Rabba a, a fis Ammon yo, Makir, fis a Ammiel Lodebar a ak Barzillaï, Galaadit Roguelim nan,
28 brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse],
te pote kabann yo, basen yo, po kanari yo, ble, lòj, farin, sereyal boukannen, pwa, pwa lantiy, avèk grenn boukannen,
29 and honey, and cream, and sheep, and cheese of kine to David, and to the people that were with him, to eat; for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.
siwo myèl, bòl lèt, mouton ak fwomaj ki sòti nan twoupo a, pou David ak moun ki te avèk li yo ta manje. Paske yo te di: “Pèp la grangou, fatige e swaf nan dezè a.”
