2 Samuel 5
1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
Tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon, yo di l' konsa: -Nou se moun menm ras, menm fanmi avè ou.
2 Even aforetime, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.
Depi lontan, menm sou rèy Sayil, se ou menm ki te kòmande lame pèp Izrayèl la kote l' pase. Lèfini ankò, Seyè a te pwomèt se ou menm ki pral gouvènen pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la, se ou menm ki pral chèf yo.
3 And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel.
Se konsa tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon. Yo pase yon kontra avè l' devan Seyè a. Yo fè seremoni, yo mete l' wa sou pèp Izrayèl la tou.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign; he reigned forty years.
David te gen trantan lè l' rive wa. Li kòmande pandan karantan.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
Antan lavil Ebwon, li kòmande moun Jida yo pandan sètan simwa. Lavil Jerizalèm, li kòmande ni moun pèp Izrayèl yo ni moun pèp Jida yo pandan tranntwazan.
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; and they spoke to David, saying, Thou shalt not come in hither, but the blind and the lame will drive thee back; as much as to say, David will not come in hither.
Apre sa, wa David pati pou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak sòlda li yo, li al atake moun Jebis yo ki te rete nan zòn sa a. Moun Jebis yo te konprann David pa ta ka antre pran lavil la. Yo di l' konsa: -Ou p'ap janm ka rive antre nan lavil nou an. Ata moun je pete ak moun enfim ka gen kont fòs pou mete ou deyò.
7 But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
Men, David pran gwo fò ki te sou tèt mòn Siyon an. Se li yo rele lavil David la.
8 And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites and gets up to the watercourse, and the lame and the blind hated of David's soul...! Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
Jou sa a, David te di moun pa li yo: -Tout moun ki vle atake moun Jebis yo va pase nan kannal la, y'a tonbe sou bann enfim ak je pete sa yo ki pa vle wè m' yo. Se depi lè sa a yo di moun je pete ak moun enfim pa gen dwa mete pwent pye yo nan Tanp Seyè a.
9 So David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from the Millo and inward.
Apre sa, David al rete nan gwo fò a, li rele l' lavil David la. Lèfini, li bati lòt kay fè wonn fò a, depi sou teras la rive bò palè a.
10 And David became continually greater; and Jehovah the God of hosts was with him.
Chak jou David t'ap vin pi fò. Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te avè l'.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
Se konsa, Iram, wa lavil Tir la, delege kèk mesaje bò kot David ak yon chajman bwa sèd. Li voye tou kèk bòs chapant ak bòs mason ki bati yon palè pou David.
12 And David perceived that Jehovah had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom because of his people Israel.
Lè sa a atò, David wè tout bon vre se Seyè a menm ki te mete l' wa pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm menm ki te fè tout bagay mache byen pou gouvènman li a, akòz pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la.
13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
Lè David kite lavil Ebwon pou li al lavil Jerizalèm, rive la li pran lòt madanm ak lòt fanm kay ki ba li lòt pitit gason ak lòt pitit fi.
14 And these are the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Men jan yo te rele pitit David ki te fèt lavil Jerizalèm yo: Chamwa, Chobab, Natan, Salomon,
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Jibka, Elichwa, Nefèg, Jafya,
16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
Elichama, Elyada ak Elifelèt.
17 And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went down to the stronghold.
Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen yo te mete David wa pèp Izrayèl la, yo tout yo leve pou y' al mete men sou li. Lè David pran nouvèl la, li desann al kache nan yon fò.
18 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Moun Filisti yo rive, yo pran tout fon Refayim lan pou yo.
19 And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou give them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up; for I will certainly give the Philistines into thy hand.
David pale ak Seyè a, li mande l': -Eske se pou m' atake moun Filisti yo? Eske w'ap lage yo nan men m'? Seyè a reponn li: -Wi, atake yo. M'ap lage yo nan men ou.
20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah has broken in upon mine enemies before me, as the breaking forth of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
David ale Baal Perazim. li bat moun Filisti yo. Lèfini, li di: -Tankou yon lavalas, Seyè a pase, li louvri yon pasaj pou mwen nan mitan lènmi m' yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Baal Perazim.
21 And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
Moun Filisti yo te kouri kite zidòl yo dèyè nan plenn lan. David ak moun pa l' yo pran yo pote ale.
22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon Refayim lan, yo pran tout plenn lan pou yo ankò.
23 And David inquired of Jehovah; and he said, Thou shalt not go up; turn round behind them and come upon them opposite the mulberry-trees.
David mande Seyè a sa pou l' fè. Seyè a di l': -Pa atake yo pa devan. Pase pa dèyè yo. Pare kò ou pou ou atake yo bò pye gayak yo.
24 And it shall be, when thou hearest a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then will Jehovah have gone forth before thee, to smite the army of the Philistines.
Lè w'a tande yon bri tankou bri pye yon moun k'ap mache sou tèt pyebwa yo, w'a fonse sou yo. Paske sa vle di m'ap pran devan ou pou m' bat lame moun Filisti yo.
25 And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gezer.
David fè sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a. Li bat moun Filisti yo, li kouri dèyè yo depi Lavil Gebarive lavil Gezè.
