1 Chronicles 19
1 And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
Alò, li te vin rive apre sa, ke Nachasch, wa a fis a Ammon yo te mouri e fis li a te devni wa nan plas li.
2 And David said: 'l will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.' So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
Epi David te di: “Mwen va montre favè a Hanun, fis a Nachasch la, akoz papa li te montre m favè.” Pou sa, David te voye mesaje pou konsole li selon lanmò papa li. Sèvitè David yo te antre nan peye fis a Ammon yo pou konsole Hanun.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun: 'Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?'
Men chèf a fis a Ammon yo te di a Hanun: “Èske ou kwè ke David ap bay papa ou onè akoz li voye moun rekonfòte yo? Èske sèvitè li yo pa vin kote ou pou chèche fè espyonaj pou boulvèse peyi a?”
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their hips, and sent them away.
Epi Hanun te pran sèvitè David yo e te taye tout cheve yo, koupe vètman yo nan mitan jis rive nan kwis e te voye yo ale.
5 Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said: 'Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.'
Alò, kèk moun te ale pale David konsènan afè mesye yo. Epi li te voye rankontre yo, paske mesye sa yo te byen wont. Epi wa a te di: “Rete Jéricho jiskaske bab nou vin grandi ankò e retounen.”
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Aram-naharaim, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.
Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke yo te fè tèt yo rayisab a David, Hanun avèk fis a Ammon yo te voye mil talan ajan Mésopotamie pou achte sèvis a cha avèk chevalye Siryen ki te sòti nan Maaca avèk Tsoba.
7 So they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
Konsa, yo te achte sèvis a trann-de-mil cha e wa Maaca a avèk pèp li a, ki te vin fè kan devan Médeba a. Fis a Ammon yo te rasanble soti nan vil pa yo pou te vin batay.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
Lè David tande sa, li te voye Joab avèk tout lame, mesye pwisan yo.
9 And the children of Ammon came out and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
Fis a Ammon yo te vin parèt, te rale yo nan chan batay la nan antre vil la e wa ki te vini yo te la apa pou kont yo nan chan an.
10 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
Alò, lè Joab te wè ke batay la te prepare kont li ni devan, ni dèyè; li te chwazi soti nan mesye pi chwazi pami tout Israël yo e yo te alinye yo kont Siryen yo.
11 And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
Men retay a pèp la, li te plase nan men Abischaï, frè li a; epi yo te alinye yo kont fis Ammon yo.
12 And he said: 'If the Arameans be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
Li te di: “Si Siryen yo twò fò pou mwen, alò ou va ede m; men si fis a Ammon twò fò pou ou; alò, mwen va ede ou.
13 Be of good courage, and let us prove strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seemeth Him good.'
Kenbe fèm e annou montre kouraj nou pou koz pèp nou ak pou vil Bondye pa nou yo. Epi ke SENYÈ a va fè sa ki bon nan zye li.”
14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle to meet the Arameans; and they fled before him.
Konsa, Joab avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te ale toupre batay la kont Siryen yo e yo te sove ale devan li.
15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Arameans were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke Siryen yo te sove ale, yo te sove ale osi devan Abischaï, frè li a e te antre lavil la. Epi Joab te vini Jérusalem.
16 And when the Arameans saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and brought out the Arameans that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.
Lè Siryen yo te wè ke yo te bat pa Israël, yo te voye mesaje pou te mennen fè sòti Siryen ki te lòtbò Rivyè a, avèk Schophach, chèf lame Hadarézer ki t ap dirije yo a.
17 And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought with him.
Lè bagay sa a te pale a David, li te ranmase tout Israël ansanm, te travèse Jourdain an, te vin parèt sou yo e te rale nan fòmasyon batay kont yo a. Epi lè David te rale nan fòmasyon batay la kont Siryen yo, yo te goumen kont li.
18 And the Arameans fled before Israel; and David slew of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
Siryen yo te sove ale devan Israël e David te touye nan Siryen yo, sèt-mil mèt cha avèk karant-mil sòlda a pye e te mete a lanmò Schophach, chèf lame a.
19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him; neither would the Arameans help the children of Ammon any more.
Konsa, lè sèvitè a Hadarézer yo te wè ke yo te fin bat pa Israël, yo te fè lapè avèk David e te sèvi li. Konsa, Siryen yo pa t janm dakò ankò pou ede fis a Ammon yo.
