< 2 Samuel 23 >

1 Now these are David’s last words. David the son of Isai said: The man to whom it was appointed concerning the Christ of the God of Jacob, the excellent psalmist of Israel said:

Alò, sila yo se dènye pawòl a David yo. David, fis a Jesse a deklare, Mesye ki te leve anwo a deklare, Sila ki onksyone pa Bondye a Jacob la, Chantè dous Israël la,

2 The spirit of the Lord hath spoken by me and his word by my tongue.

Nan mwen, Lespri SENYÈ a te pale, Pawòl pa Li te sou lang mwen.

3 The God of Israel said to me, the strong one of Israel spoke, the ruler of men, the just ruler in the fear of God.

Bondye a Israël la te di, Wòch Israël la te pale mwen, Sila ki renye sou lèzòm avèk ladwati Li a, ki renye avèk lakrent Bondye yo,

4 As the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, shineth in the morning without clouds, and as the grass springeth out of the earth by rain.

Se tankou limyè maten lè solèy la leve, Yon maten san nwaj, lè zèb tounèf Vin sòti nan tè a nan solèy apre lapli.

5 Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up.

Vrèman, se pa konsa lakay mwen ye avèk Bondye? Paske Li te fè yon akò k ap dire nèt avè m, An lòd nan tout bagay e byen solid. Pou tout sali mwen avèk tout dezi mwen, èske, anverite, Li p ap fè l grandi?

6 But transgressors shall all of them be plucked up as thorns: which are not taken away with hands.

Men sanzave yo, yo chak va pouse jete deyò tankou raje pikan. Konsa, pèsòn p ap kab pran yo an men.

7 And if a man will touch them, he must be armed with iron and with the staff of a lance: but they shall be set on fire and burnt to nothing.

Men nonm nan ki touche yo, dwe ame avèk fè ak shaf lans. Kèlkeswa, yo va vin brile nèt avèk dife, nan plas kote yo ye a.

8 These are the names of the valiant men of David. Jesbaham sitting in the chair was the wisest chief among the three, he was like the most tender little worm of the wood, who killed eight hundred men at one onset.

Sila yo se non a mesye vanyan ki te pou David yo: Joscheb-Basschébeth, Tachkemonit lan, youn nan ofisye prensipal yo. Avèk lans li ui-sant òm te mouri yon sèl kou yo.

9 After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three valiant men that were with David when they defied the Philistines, and they were there gathered together to battle.

Apre li menm, se Éléazar, fis a Dodo a, Achochit la. Li te youn nan twa gèrye ki te, ansanm ak David yo, ki te konfwonte Filisten ki te rasanble pou batay yo, lè lòt mesye Israël yo te fè bak yo.

10 And when the men of Israel were gone away, he stood and smote the Philistines till his hand was weary, and grew stiff with the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory that day: and the people that were fled away, returned to take spoils of them that were slain.

Li te leve frape Filisten yo jiskaske men li te fatige e te kole a nepe a. Konsa, SENYÈ a te fè parèt yon gran viktwa nan jou sa a. Pèp la te swiv li sèlman pou piyaje mò yo.

11 And after him was Semma the son of Age of Arari. And the Philistines were gathered together in a troop: for there was a field full of lentils. And when the people were fled from the face of the Philistines,

Alò, apre li se te Schamma, fis Agué a, yon Ararit. Filisten yo te rasanble nan yon ekip kote yon moso tè te plen avèk pwa lantiy e pèp la te kouri devan Filisten yo.

12 He stood in the midst of the field, and defended it, and defeated the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great victory.

Men li te kanpe pran pozisyon li nan mitan chan an pou defann tè a. Li te frape Filisten yo; epi SENYÈ a te fè vini yon gran viktwa.

13 Moreover also before this the three who were princes among the thirty, went down and came to David in the harvest time into the cave of Odollam: and the camp of the Philistines was in the valley of the giants.

Alò, twa nan trant mesye pifò yo te desann kote David nan tan rekòlt la kote kavèn Adullam nan pandan ekip Filisten an t ap fè kan nan vale Rephaïm nan.

14 And David was then in a hold. and there was a garrison of the Philistines then in Bethlehem.

Nan tan sa a, David te la nan fò a, pandan ganizon Filisten an te Bethléhem.

15 And David longed, and said: O that some man would get me a drink of the water out of the cistern, that is in Bethlehem, by the gate.

David te gen yon anvi, e li te di: “Men kijan mwen ta kontan si yon moun ta ban m dlo pou bwè ki sòti nan pwi Bethléhem akote pòtay la!”

16 And the three valiant men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and brought it to David: but he would not drink, but offered it to the Lord,

Konsa, twa mesye vanyan sa yo te pete antre nan kan Filisten yo. Yo te rale dlo nan pwi Bethléhem ki te akote pòtay la, e yo te pote li bay David. Malgre sa, li te refize bwè l, men li te vide li bay SENYÈ a.

17 Saying: The Lord be merciful to me, that I may not do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went, and the peril of their lives? therefore he would not drink. These things did these three mighty men.

Konsa, li te di: “Lwen de mwen O SENYÈ! Èske m ta bwè san a mesye ki te mete lavi yo nan gwo danje a?” Pou sa, li pa t bwè li. Se zèv sila yo ke twa mesye vanyan sa yo te fè.

18 Abisai also the brother of Joab, the son of Sarvia, was chief among three: and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three,

Abischaï, frè a Joab la, fis a Tseruja a, te chèf a trant yo. Li te voye lans li kont twa san moun, li te touye yo, e li te gen yon non ki vin rekonèt menm jan ak twa yo.

19 And the noblest of three, and was their chief, but to the three first he attained not.

Li te pi onore pami trant yo. Konsa, li te devni chèf yo. Malgre sa, li pa t rive nan nivo a twa yo.

20 And Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of great deeds, of Cabseel: he slew the two lions of Moab, and he went down, and slew a lion in the midst of a pit, in the time of snow.

Alò, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, fis a yon mesye vanyan nan Kabtséel, ki te fè zak byen fò, li te touye de fis a Ariel yo nan Moab. Anplis, li te desann e te touye yon lyon nan mitan a yon fòs yon jou pandan lanèj t ap tonbe.

21 He also slew an Egyptian, a man worthy to be a sight, having a spear in his hand: but he went down to him with a rod, and forced the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his own spear.

Li te touye yon Ejipsyen, yon mesye mèvèy. Alò, Ejipsyen an te gen yon lans nan men li, men li te desann kote li avèk yon gwo baton e li te sezi lans lan soti nan men Ejipsyen an e te touye li avèk pwòp lans li an.

22 These things did Banaias the son of Joiada.

Bagay sa yo, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te fè e non l te gen repitasyon menm jan ak twa mesye vanyan yo.

23 And he was renowned among the three valiant men, who were the most honourable among the thirty: but he attained riot to the first three: and David made him of his privy council.

Li te onore pami trant yo, men li pa t rive nan nivo a twa yo. Epi David te plase li kòm chèf sou gad li.

24 Asael the brother of Joab was one of the thirty, Elehanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem.
