2 Samuel 20
1 Now there happened to be there a base fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the horn, and said: 'We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to his tents, O Israel.'
Alò, te gen yon sanzave ki te la ki te rele Schéba, fis a Bicri, yon Benjamit. Konsa, li te soufle twonpèt la e te di: “Nou pa gen anyen nan David, ni nou pa gen eritaj nan fis Jesse a. Tout moun rive nan tant pa li yo, O Israël!”
2 So all the men of Israel went up from following David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah did cleave unto their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Konsa, tout mesye Israël yo te sispann swiv David, e yo te swiv Schéba, fis a Bicri a. Men mesye Juda yo te rete lwayal a wa pa yo a, soti nan Jourdain an, jis rive Jérusalem.
3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and provided them with sustenance, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, in widowhood, with their husband alive.
David te rive kote lakay li Jérusalem. Epi wa a te pran dis fanm sa yo, ti mennaj ke li te kite pou okipe kay la. Li te mete yo sou siveyans e te bay yo manje, men li pa t antre nan yo. Konsa, yo te rete fèmen jis rive jou ke yo te mouri an e te viv tankou vèv.
4 Then said the king to Amasa: 'Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be thou here present.'
Alò, wa a te di a Amasa: “Rele fè sòti pou mwen mesye Juda yo avan twa jou e ou menm, vin prezan isit la.”
5 So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together; but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
Konsa, Amasa te ale rele mesye Juda yo, men li te pran reta plis tan ke li te dwe pran an.
6 And David said to Abishai: 'Now will Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom; take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.'
Epi David te di a Abischaï: “Koulye a Schéba, fis a Bicri a, va fè nou plis mal ke Absalom. Pran sèvitè mèt ou yo e kouri dèyè li, pou li pa twouve pou kont li vil ki ranfòse pou chape devan zye nou.”
7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men; and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Konsa, mesye Abischaï yo te sòti dèyè li, ansanm avèk Keretyen yo, Peletyen yo ak tout mesye vanyan yo. Epi yo te kite Jérusalem pou kouri dèyè Schéba, fis a Bicri a.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was girded with his apparel of war that he had put on, and thereon was a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
Lè yo te la nan gwo wòch ki Gabaon an, Amasa te vin rankontre yo. Alò Joab te abiye an vètman militè e sou li, te gen yon sentiwon avèk yon nepe nan fouwo li ki te tache nan senti li; epi pandan li t ap avanse, nepe a te vin tonbe parèt.
9 And Joab said to Amasa: 'Is it well with thee, my brother?' And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Joab te di Amasa: “Èske sa byen avèk ou, frè m?” Epi Joab te kenbe Amasa pa bab li avèk men dwat pou bo li.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand; so he smote him therewith in the groin, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Men Amasa pa t veye kont nepe ki te nan men Joab la. Konsa, li te frape li nan vant avèk li e zantray li te vide tonbe atè e san frape l ankò, li te mouri. Alò Joab avèk Abischaï, frè li a, te kouri dèyè Schéba, fis a Bicri a.
11 And there stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said: 'He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David let him follow Joab.'
Alò, akote li, te kanpe youn nan jennonm a Joab yo, ki te di: “Nenpòt moun ki pou Joab e nenpòt moun ki pou David, kite li swiv Joab.”
12 And Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
Men Amasa te kouche tòde vire nan san li nan mitan granchemen an. Epi lè nonm nan te wè ke tout moun te kanpe, li te deplase Amasa soti nan granchemen an rive nan chan an e li te jete yon vètman sou li lè li te wè ke tout moun ki te pase kote li te vin kanpe.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Depi li te rete sou granchemen an, tout mesye yo te pase ale dèyè Joab pou kouri dèyè Schéba, fis a Bicri a.
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth-maacah, and all the Berites; and they were gathered together, and went in also after him.
Alò, li te pase nan tout tribi Israël yo jis rive Abel, menm jis nan Beth-Maaca ak tout Berit yo. Yo te rasanble ansanm pou te ale dèyè li tou.
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood in the moat; and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
Yo te vin fè syèj sou li nan Abel Beth-Maaca. Yo te monte yon ran syèj kont vil la. Li te kanpe rive nan mi ranpa e tout moun ki te avèk Joab yo t ap kraze pou yo fè mi an tonbe.
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city: 'Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab: Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.'
Epi yon fanm lespri te rele soti nan vil la: “Koute, koute! Souple di Joab: ‘Vin isit la pou m kab pale avèk ou.’ Koute pawòl a sèvant ou an.” Epi li te reponn: “M ap koute.”
17 And he came near unto her; and the woman said: 'Art thou Joab?' And he answered: 'I am.' Then she said unto him: 'Hear the words of thy handmaid.' And he answered: 'I do hear.'
Konsa, li te pwoche li e fanm nan te di: “Èske se Joab ke ou ye?” Epi li te reponn: “Se mwen”. Alò, li te di li: “Koute pawòl a sèvant ou an.” Epi li te reponn: “M ap koute.”
18 Then she spoke, saying: 'They were wont to speak in old time, saying: They shall surely ask counsel at Abel; and so they ended the matter.
Epi li te pale e te di: “Lontan yo te konn di: ‘Yo va anverite mande konsèy nan Abel,’ e se konsa, yo te rezoud pwoblèm nan.
19 We are of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel; seekest thou to destroy a city and a mother in Israel? why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?'
Mwen pami sila ki pezib e fidèl an Israël yo. W ap chache detwi yon vil, menm yon manman an Israël. Poukisa ou ta anglouti tout eritaj SENYÈ a?”
20 And Joab answered and said: 'Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
Joab te reponn: “Lwen de sa, lwen de mwen pou mwen ta anglouti, oswa detwi!
21 The matter is not so; but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city.' And the woman said unto Joab: 'Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.'
Se pa konsa ka a ye! Men yon nonm soti nan peyi ti mòn Ephraïm nan, Schéba, fis a Bicri a, selon non li, li te leve men li kont Wa David. Sèlman, lonje bannou li e mwen va kite vil la.” Epi fanm nan te di a Joab: “Gade byen, se tèt li m ap jete ba ou sou mi an.”
22 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the horn, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
Alò, fanm lespri a te vin kote tout pèp la. Epi yo te koupe tèt aSchéba, fis Bicri a e te jete li bay Joab. Konsa, li te soufle twonpèt la e yo te lèse kite vil la. Chak moun te ale kote tant pa yo. Joab, anplis, te retounen kote wa a Jérusalem.
23 Now Joab was over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites;
Alò, Joab te sou tèt tout lame Israël la e Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te sou Keretyen yo avèk Peletyen yo;
24 and Adoram was over the levy; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;
epi Adoram te sou travay fòse a e Josaphat, fis a Achilud la te grefye a;
25 and Sheva was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
epi Scheja te sekretè a e Tsadok avèk Abiathar te prèt;
26 and Ira also the Jairite was chief minister unto David.
epi Ira, Jayirit la te yon prèt osi pou David.
