1 Kings 2
1 Then the dayes of Dauid drewe neere that he should die, and hee charged Salomon his sonne, 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 strong therefore, and shew thy selfe 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 take heede to the charge of the Lord thy God, to walke in his wayes, and keepe his statutes, and his commandements, and his iudgements, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and in euery thing whereunto thou turnest thee,
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 the Lord may confirme his worde which hee spake vnto me, saying, If thy sonnes take heede to their way, that they walke before me in trueth, with all their hearts, and with all their soules, thou shalt not (sayd he) want one of thy posteritie vpon 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 Thou knowest also what Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captaines of the hostes of Israel, vnto Abner the sonne of Ner, and vnto Amasa the sonne of Iether: whome he slewe, and shed blood of battell in peace, and put the blood of warre vpon his girdle that was about his loynes, and in his shooes that were on his feete.
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 Doe therefore according to thy wisdome, and let thou not his hoare head go downe to the graue in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Ou konnen sa ou gen pou fè. Pa kite se vyeyès ki touye l'. (Sheol h7585)
7 But shew kindnes vnto the sonnes of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among them that eate at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled from 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 beholde, with thee is Shimei the sonne of Gera, the sonne of Iemini, of Bahurim, which cursed mee with an horrible curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but hee came downe to meete me at Iorden, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not slay thee 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 But thou shalt not count him innocent: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to doe vnto him: therefore thou shalt cause his hoare head to goe downe to the graue 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 So Dauid slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid.
Lè David mouri yo antere l' nan lavil David la.
11 And the dayes which Dauid reigned vpon Israel, were fourtie yeeres: seuen yeeres reigned he in Hebron, and thirtie and three yeeres reigned he in Ierusalem.
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 Then sate Salomon vpon the throne of Dauid his father, and his kingdome was stablished mightily.
Salomon, pitit gason David la, vin wa nan plas papa li. Gouvènman li te byen chita.
13 And Adonijah the sonne of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon: and she saide, Commest thou peaceably? And hee said, Yea.
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 He said moreouer, I haue a sute vnto thee. And she sayd, Say on.
Apre sa, li di l': -Mwen gen yon bagay mwen ta renmen mande ou! Batcheba di l': -Kisa l' ye?
15 Then he said, Thou knowest that the kingdome was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reigne: howbeit the kingdome is turned away, and is my brothers: for it came to him by the Lord.
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 Nowe therefore I aske thee one request, refuse me not. And she said vnto him, Say on.
Bon, yon sèl favè m'ap mande ou. Pa refize m' li.
17 And he sayd, Speake, I pray thee, vnto Salomon ye King, (for he will not say thee nay) that he giue me Abishag the Shunammite to 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 Bath-sheba sayd, Well, I will speake for thee vnto the King.
Batcheba reponn: -Bon, dakò! m'a pale ak wa a pou ou!
19 Bath-sheba therefore went vnto King Salomon, to speake vnto him for Adonijah: and the King rose to meete her, and bowed himselfe vnto her, and sate downe on his throne: and he caused a seate to be set for the Kings mother, and she sate at 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 sayd, I desire a small request of thee, say me not nay. Then the King sayde vnto her, Aske on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
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 She sayd then, Let Abishag the Shunammite be giuen to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
Batcheba di l': -Kite Adonija, frè ou la, pran Abichag, tifi lavil Chounam lan, pou madanm li.
22 But King Salomon answered and sayd vnto his mother, And why doest thou aske Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? aske for him the kingdome also: for he is mine elder brother, and hath for him both Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the sonne 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 Then King Salomon sware by the Lord, saying, God doe so to me and more also, if Adoniiah hath not spoken this worde against his owne 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 Now therefore as ye Lord liueth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of Dauid my father, who also hath made me an house, as he promised, Adoniiah shall surely die 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 Salomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and hee smote him that he dyed.
Se konsa Salomon bay Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, lòd pou l' al touye Adonija. Benaja ale, li touye Adonija.
26 Then the King sayd vnto Abiathar the Priest, Go to Anathoth vnto thine owne fieldes: for thou art worthy of death: but I will not this day kill thee, because thou barest the Arke of the Lord God before Dauid my father, and because thou hast suffered in all, wherein my father hath bene 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 So Salomon cast out Abiathar from being Priest vnto the Lord, that he might fulfill the wordes of the Lord, which he spake against 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 Then tidings came to Ioab: (for Ioab had turned after Adoniiah, but he turned not after Absalom) and Ioab fled vnto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the hornes 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 tolde king Salomon, that Ioab was fled vnto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and beholde, he is by the altar. Then Salomon sent Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, saying, Goe, fall vpon 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 Tabernacle of the Lord, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the King, Come out. And he sayde, Nay, but I will die here. Then Benaiah brought the King worde againe, saying, Thus sayd Ioab, 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 sayde vnto him, Doe as he hath sayd, and smite him, and bury him, that thou mayest take away the blood, which Ioab shed causelesse, 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 the Lord shall bring his blood vpon his owne head: for he smote two men more righteous and better then he, and slew them with the sword, and my father Dauid knew not: to wit, Abner the sonne of Ner, captaine of the hoste of Israel, and Amasa the sonne of Iether captaine of the hoste of Iudah.
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 Their blood shall therefore returne vpon the head of Ioab, and on the head of his seede for euer: but vpon Dauid, and vpon his seede, and vpon his house, and vpon his throne shall there be peace for euer from the Lord.
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 So Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada went vp, and smote him, and slewe him, and he was buryed in his owne house in the wildernesse.
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 sonne of Iehoiada in his roume ouer the hoste: and the King set Zadok the Priest in the roume of Abiathar.
Apre sa, wa a mete Benaja kòmandan lame a nan plas Joab, li mete Zadòk, prèt la, nan plas Abyata.
36 Afterwarde the King sent, and called Shimei, and sayde vnto him, Buylde thee an house in Ierusalem, and dwell there, and depart not thence any whither.
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 For that day that thou goest out, and passest ouer the riuer of Kidron, knowe assuredly, that thou shalt dye the death: thy blood shall be vpon thine owne 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 sayd vnto the King, The thing is good: as my lord the King hath sayd, so wil thy seruant doe. So Shimei dwelt in Ierusalem many dayes.
Chimeyi reponn: -Dakò, monwa. m'a fè sa ou di a. Se konsa Chimeyi rete lontan lavil Jerizalèm.
39 And after three yeres two of the seruants of Shimei fled away vnto Achish sonne of Maachah King of Gath: and they tolde Shimei, saying, Behold, thy seruants be 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 And Shimei arose, and sadled his asse, and went to Gath to Achish, to seeke his seruantes: and Shimei went, and brought his seruants 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 tolde Salomon, that Shimei had gone from Ierusalem to Gath, and was come againe.
Yo fè Salomon konnen Chimeyi te soti lavil Jerizalèm ale lavil Gat epi li tounen.
42 And the King sent and called Shimei, and sayde vnto him, Did I not make thee to sweare by the Lord, and protested vnto thee, saying, That day that thou goest out, and walkest any whither, knowe assuredly that thou shalt dye the death? And thou saydest vnto mee, The thing is good, that I haue heard.
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 othe of the Lord, and the commandement wherewith I charged thee?
Poukisa atò ou pa kenbe pwomès ou te fè devan Seyè a? Poukisa ou dezobeyi m'?
44 The King sayde also to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickednes whereunto thine heart is priuie, that thou diddest to Dauid my father: the Lord therefore shall bring thy wickednesse vpon thine owne head.
Ou konnen byen pwòp tou sa ou te fè David, papa m'. Seyè a pral pini ou pou sa.
45 And let King Salomon be blessed, and the throne of Dauid stablished before the Lord for euer.
Men, l'ap beni m', mwen menm Salomon. L'ap fè gouvènman fanmi David la chita pou tout tan.
46 So the King comanded Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada: who went out and smote him that he dyed. And the kingdome was established in the hand of Salomon.
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'.
