2 Samuel 19
1 And it was told unto Joab, Behold, the king is weeping and he mourneth for Abshalom.
Alò, li te pale a Joab: “Gade byen, wa a ap kriye e fè lamantasyon pou Absalom.”
2 And the victory on that day was turned into mourning unto all the people; for the people heard it said on that day, that the king was grieved for his son.
Viktwa a jou sa a te boulvèse vin fè dèy pou tout pèp la. Paske moun ki te tande li yo nan jou sa a te di: “Wa a ap lamante pou fis li a.”
3 And the people repaired by stealth on that day when coming into the city, as usually steal away the people who are ashamed when they flee in battle.
Konsa, moun yo te antre nan vil la nan jou sa a kòmsi an sekrè tankou yon pèp ki imilye e kouri kache pou kite batay la.
4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Abshalom, O Abshalom, my son, my son!
Wa a te kouvri figi li e te kriye fò avèk yon gwo vwa: “O fis mwen, Absalom, O Absalom, fis mwen, fis mwen!”
5 And Joab came to the king, into the house, and said, Thou hast covered with shame this day the faces of all thy servants, who have saved thy life this day, and the life of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of thy concubines;
Alò, Joab te antre nan kay la vè wa a. Li te di: “Jodi a, ou te kouvri avèk lawont tout figi a tout sèvitè ou yo, ki, jodi a, te sove lavi ou, lavi a fis ou yo ak fi ou yo, lavi a madanm ou yo ak lavi a ti mennaj ou yo,
6 Since thou lovest thy enemies, and hatest thy friends: for thou hast declared this day, that thou hast neither princes nor servants; for I perceive this day, that if Abshalom were but alive, and we all were dead this day, that then it would have been just right in thy eyes.
akoz ou te vin renmen sila ki rayi ou yo, e rayi sila ki renmen ou yo. Paske ou te montre nan jou sa a ke prens yo avèk sèvitè ou yo pa anyen a ou menm. Paske mwen vin aprann nan jou sa a ke si Absalom te vivan e nou tout te fin mouri, ke ou ta gen kè kontan.
7 And now arise, go forth, and speak to the heart of thy servants; for by the Lord have I sworn, that if thou go not forth, there shall not remain one man with thee this night: and this would be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.
Alò, pou sa, leve ale deyò a pou pale pawòl ki dous avèk sèvitè ou yo. Paske mwen sèmante pa SENYÈ a ke si ou pa sòti deyò, anverite, p ap gen yon moun k ap pase nwit lan avèk ou e sa va pi mal pou ou pase tout lòt mal ki gen tan parèt sou ou soti nan jenès ou jis rive koulye a.”
8 Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told it unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king; but Israel fled, every man to his tents.
Pou sa, wa a te leve chita nan pòtay la. Lè yo te pale tout pèp la e te di: “Men vwala, wa a chita nan pòtay la,” alò, tout pèp la te vini devan wa a. Alò, Israël te fin sove ale, chak moun nan pwòp tant pa yo.
9 And all the people were contending throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king hath saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he it was that hath delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from before Abshalom.
Tout pèp la t ap fè kont pami tout tribi Israël yo, e t ap di: “Wa a te delivre nou soti nan men a lènmi nou yo e te sove nou soti nan men a Filisten yo; men koulye a, li gen tan sove ale kite peyi a devan Absalom.
10 And Abshalom, whom we had anointed over us, died in battle: and now why are ye silent about bringing the king back?
Malgre sa, Absalom, ke nou te onksyone sou nou an, te mouri nan batay la. Alò, pou sa, poukisa nou rete san pale nan afè mennen wa a fè l tounen an?”
11 And king David sent to Zadok and to Ebyathar the priests, saying, Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why will you be the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is already come to the king, to his house.
Epi Wa David te voye kote Tsadok ak Abiathar, prèt yo, e te di: “Pale avèk ansyen Juda yo e di: ‘Poukisa se nou ki dènye pou mennen fè wa a tounen lakay li a, depi pawòl a tout Israël la gen tan rive vè wa a, menm kote lakay li?
12 My brothers are ye, my bone and my flesh are ye: wherefore then will you be the last to bring back the king?
Nou menm se frè m; nou se zo a zo mwen e chè a chè mwen. Poukisa konsa nou ta dwe dènye pou mennen wa a fè l tounen?’
13 And to 'Amassa shall ye say, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and may he thus continue to do, if thou shalt not be captain of the army before me continually in the room of Joab.
Di Amasa: ‘Èske ou pa zo a zo mwen e chè a chè mwen? Ke Bondye ta fè sa pou mwen e menm plis si se pa ou menm ki va chèf lame devan mwen nèt nan plas Joab.’”
14 And he turned the heart of all the men of Judah, as of one man: and these sent unto the king, Return thou, with all thy servants.
Konsa, li te vire kè tout mesye Juda yo tankou se te yon sèl moun, jiskaske yo te voye vè wa a e te di: “Retounen, ou menm avèk tout sèvitè ou yo.”
15 So the king returned, and came as far as the Jordan; and Judah came to Gilgal, to go forth to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.
Alò, wa a te retounen e te vin jis nan Rivyè Jourdain an. Epi Juda te vini Guilgal pou rankontre wa a, pou mennen wa a travèse Jourdain an.
16 Then hastened Shim'i the son of Gera, the Benjamite, who was of Bachurim, and went down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
Epi Schimeï, fis a Guéra a, Benjamit ki sòti Bachurim nan te fè vit vin desann avèk mesye Juda yo pou rankontre Wa David.
17 And there were with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they set hastily over the Jordan before the king.
Te gen mil mesye Benjamin avèk li, avèk Tsiba, sèvitè lakay Saül la, kenz fis li yo avèk ven sèvitè yo avèk li; epi yo te prese rive nan Jourdain an avan wa a.
18 And there went over the ferry-boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what was good in his eyes. And Shim'i the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was passing over the Jordan;
Alò, yo te kontinye travèse kote pou janbe a pou fè travèse fanmi a wa a; epi pou fè sa ki bon nan zye li. Epi Schimeï, fis a Guéra a te tonbe ba devan wa a pandan li t ap prepare pou travèse Jourdain an.
19 And he said unto the king, Let not my Lord impute it unto me as iniquity, neither do thou remember that in which thy servant acted perversely on the day that my Lord the king went forth out of Jerusalem, so that the king should lay it to his heart.
Konsa, li te di a wa a: “Pa kite mèt mwen konsidere mwen kòm koupab, ni sonje mal ke sèvitè ou te fè nan jou lè mèt mwen an, wa a, te sòti Jérusalem, pou wa a ta pran sa a kè.
20 For thy servant doth know that I have indeed sinned; and, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my Lord the king.
Paske sèvitè ou konnen ke mwen te peche. Pou sa, gade byen, mwen te rive la jodi a, premyèman nan tout kay Joseph la pou ale desann rankontre mèt mwen an, wa a.”
21 But Abishai the son of Zeruyah spoke out and said, Shall Shim'i for this not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed?
Men Abischaï, fis a Tseurja a te di: “Èske Schimeï pa ta dwe mete a lanmò pou sa, akoz li te modi onksyone a SENYÈ a?”
22 And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruyah, that ye should become a hindrance this day unto me? shall this day any man be put to death in Israel? for do I not know that this day I am king over Israel?
Epi David te di: “Kisa mwen gen pou fè avèk nou, O fis a Tseruja yo, pou nou ta nan jou sila a devni advèsè mwen? Èske okenn moun ta mete a lanmò an Israël jodi a?” Paske èske mwen pa konnen ke se mwen ki wa sou Israël jodi a?
23 And the king said unto Shim'i, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore unto him.
Wa a te di a Schimeï: “Ou p ap mouri.” Konsa wa a te sèmante a li menm.
24 And Mephibosheth the [grand] son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had not dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day that the king departed until the day that he came home in peace.
EpiMéphiboscheth, fis a Saül la te desann rankontre wa a. Li pa t okipe pye li, ni taye moustach li, ni lave rad li, depi wa a te pati a jis rive jou ke li te retounen lakay li anpè a.
25 And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?
Se te lè li te vini Jérusalem pou rankontre wa a ke wa a te di li: “Poukisa ou pa t ale avè m, Méphiboscheth?”
26 And he answered, My Lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle for me the ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is lame.
Konsa, li te reponn: “O mèt mwen, wa a, sèvitè mwen an te twonpe m. Paske sèvitè ou a te di: ‘Mwen va sele yon bourik pou mwen menm pou m kab monte sou li pou ale avèk wa a,’ akoz sèvitè ou a bwete.
27 And he slandered thy servant unto my Lord the king; but my Lord the king is like an angel of God: do then what is good in thy eyes.
Anplis, li te pale vye bagay a sèvitè ou a mèt mwen, wa a, men mèt mwen an, wa a, se tankou zanj Bondye a. Pou sa, fè sa ki bon nan zye ou.
28 For all of my father's house were nothing but men deserving death with my Lord the king: and yet didst thou set thy servant among those that eat at thy own table. What other merit therefore have I, and what to complain of yet farther unto the king?
Paske tout manm lakay papa m pa t plis ke moun mouri devan mèt mwen an, wa a. Malgre ou te mete sèvitè ou pami sila ki te manje sou pwòp tab pa ou. Ki dwa mwen gen pou m ta plenyen anplis a wa a?”
29 And the king said unto him, For what purpose speakest thou yet thy words? I have said, Thou and Ziba shall divide the field.
Konsa, wa a te di li: “Poukisa ou pale toujou nan enterè pa w? Mwen gen tan pran desizyon, ‘Ou avèk Ziba va divize tè a.’”
30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take the whole, since that my Lord the king is come [back] in peace unto his own house.
Méphiboscheth te di a wa a: “Kite li menm vin pran tout pou li menm, akoz mèt mwen, wa a, gen tan retounen nan pwòp kay li.”
31 And Barzillai the Gil'adite came down from Rogelim; and he passed over the Jordan with the king, to accompany him over the Jordan.
Alò Barzillaï, Gadit la te vin desann soti Roguelim e li te ale nan Jourdain an avèk wa a pou akonpanye li travèse Jourdain an.
32 Now Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old: and he had sustained the king while he lay at Machanayim; for he was a very great man.
Alò, Barzillaï te granmoun anpil, avèk laj a katre-ventan. Li te bay soutyen a wa a pandan li te rete Mahanaïm, paske li te yon nonm byen enpòtan.
33 And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee near me in Jerusalem.
Wa a te di a Barzillaï: “Vin travèse avèk mwen e mwen va ba ou soutyen Jérusalem bò kote mwen.”
34 But Barzillai said unto the king, How many yet are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
Men Barzillaï te di a wa a: “Se pou konbyen de tan ke m ap viv toujou pou m ta monte ak wa a Jérusalem?
35 I am eighty years old this day: can I discern between good and evil? or can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? or can I listen yet to the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant become yet a burden unto my Lord the king?
Mwen menm, koulye a, mwen nan katre-ventan daj. Èske mwen kapab distenge antre sa ki bon ak sa ki mal? Oswa èske sèvitè ou a kapab goute sa ke m manje, oswa sa ke m bwè? Oswa èske mwen kapab ankò tande vwa lè gason ak fi ap chante? Alò, poukisa sèvitè ou ta dwe devni yon chaj anplis a mèt mwen an, wa a?
36 Thy servant will pass a little way over the Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense me with this reward?
Sèvitè ou ta sèlman pito travèse Jourdain an avèk wa a. Poukisa wa a ta dwe ban m rekonpans avèk byenfezans sila a?
37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in my own city, by the sepulchre of my father and of my mother. But, behold, thy servant Kimham will pass over with my Lord the king; and do to him what is good in thy eyes.
Souple, kite sèvitè ou retounen, pou m kab mouri nan pwòp vil pa m, toupre tonm a papa m avèk manman m. Malgre sa, men sèvitè ou, Kimham; kite li travèse avèk mèt mwen an, wa a e fè pou li sa ki bon nan zye ou.”
38 And the king said, Kimham shall pass over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good in thy eyes: and whatsoever thou wilt desire of me, will I do for thee.
Wa a te reponn: “Kimham va travèse avè m e mwen va fè pou li sa ki bon nan zye pa w. Nenpòt sa ke ou vle m fè m ap fè l pou ou.”
39 And all the people passed over the Jordan, after the king had passed over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
Tout moun yo te travèse Jourdain an e wa a te travèse tou. Epi wa a te bo Barzillaï. Li te beni li e li te retounen nan plas li.
40 Then did the king pass on to Gilgal, and Kimham passed on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
Koulye a, wa a te avanse rive Guilgal, Kimham te kontinye avèk li. Epi tout pèp Juda a avèk la mwatye nan pèp Israël la te akonpanye wa a.
41 And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have conducted the king and his household over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?
Epi vwala, tout mesye Israël yo te vin kote wa a e te di a wa a: “Poukisa frè nou yo, mesye Juda yo te vin vòlè ou? Yo te pati avè w, yo te mennen wa a avèk tout lakay li ak tout mesye David yo avèk li, vin janbe Jourdain an.”
42 And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then are ye so angry for this matter? have we eaten the least from the king? or hath he given us any gift?
Epi tout mesye Juda yo te reponn mesye Israël yo: “Akoz wa a toupre fanmi a nou. Poukisa konsa nou vin fache akoz afè sila a? Èske nou te manje yon bagay sou kont a wa a, oubyen èske yon bagay te vin separe bannou?”
43 And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, Ten parts have we in the king, and also in David have we more right than ye: why then did ye esteem us lightly? and was not our word the very first to bring back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
Men mesye Israël yo te reponn mesye Juda yo e te di: “Nou gen dis pati nan wa a; pou sa, nou osi gen plis pati nan David pase ou! Poukisa konsa, ou vin meprize nou? Èske se pa t konsèy pa nou premyèman pou fè wa a tounen?” Men pawòl a Juda yo te pi rèd pase pawòl a Israël yo.
