2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this, that David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
Alò, li te vin rive apre, ke David te fè demand a SENYÈ a, e te di: “Èske Mwen dwe monte nan youn nan vil Juda yo?” Epi SENYÈ a te di li: “Monte!” Konsa David te di: “Se kibò pou m ta monte?” Epi Li te di: “Nan Hébron.”
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil, Nabal's wife, the Carmelite.
Pou sa, David te monte la ansanm akde madanm li yo tou, Achinoam, Jizreyelit la, avèk Abigaïl, Kamelit la, fanm a Nabal la.
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
Epi David te fè monte mesye ki te avèk li yo, yo chak avèk pwòp lakay pa yo, e yo te rete nan vil Hébron yo.
4 And then came the men of Judah, and they anointed there David as king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Yabesh-gil'ad were those that buried Saul.
Alò, mesye Juda yo te parèt e se la, yo te onksyone David wa sou kay Juda a. Epi yo te pale David, e te di: “Se te mesye a Jabés Galaad ki te antere Saül yo.”
5 And David thereupon sent messengers unto the men of Yabesh-gil'ad, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have done this kindness unto your Lord, unto Saul, and have buried him.
David te voye mesaje yo bò kote mesye Jabés Galaad yo. Li te di yo: “Ke nou beni pa SENYÈ a akoz nou te montre bonte nou anvè Saül, mèt nou an, e nou te antere li.
6 And now may the Lord deal with you in kindness and truth: and as for me also, I will requite you this good deed, because ye have done this thing.
Alò, ke SENYÈ a montre bonte avèk verite Li a nou menm. Konsa, mwen tou, mwen va montre nou bonte sa a akoz nou te fè bagay sa a.
7 And now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant men; for your lord Saul is dead; and also me have the house of Judah anointed as king over them.
Pou sa, kite men nou rete fò e plen kouraj. Paske mèt nou an, Saül mouri e anplis, kay Juda a te onksyone mwen kòm wa sou yo menm”.
8 But Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of the army of Saul, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Machanayim;
Men Abner, fis a Ner a, te pran Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la e te mennen li antre Mahanaïm.
9 And made him king over Gil'ad, and over the Ashurites, and over Yizre'el, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
Li te fè li wa sou Galaad, sou Gechouryen yo, sou Jizreel, sou Ephraïm ak sou Benjamin, menm sou tout Israël la.
10 Forty years old was Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, when he became king over Israel, and two years he reigned. But the house of Judah followed David.
Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la te gen karant ane lè l te devni wa sou Israël, e li te wa pandan dezan. Men, lakay Juda te swiv David.
11 And the number of days that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Fòs tan ke David te wa nan Hébron sou Juda a se te sèt ane avèk si mwa.
12 And there went out Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, from Machanayim to Gib'on.
Alò, Abner, fis a Ner a te sòti Mahanaïm kote Gabaon avèk sèvitè a Isch-Boscheth yo, fis a Saül la.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruyah and the servants of David also went out, and they met together by the pool of Gib'on: and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and the others on the other side of the pool.
Konsa, Joab, fis a Tseruja a avèk sèvitè a David yo te sòti pou rankontre yo akote sous Gabaon an. Yo te chita konsa, youn nan yon bò sous la e lòt la nan lòtbò sous la.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Do let the young men rise up and play before us. And Joab said, They may rise up.
Abner te di a Joab: “Alò, kite jennonm yo leve fè yon kou batay devan nou la a.” Joab te reponn: “Kite yo leve.”
15 Then they rose up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Konsa, yo te leve travèse ak kontwòl, douz pou Benjamin avèk Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül yo e douz pou sèvitè a David yo.
16 And they grasped every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; and they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Chelkath-hazzurim, which is by Gib'on.
Chak te sezi advèsè li nan tèt e te fonse nepe li nan akote advèsè li a; konsa, yo te tonbe atè ansanm. Pou sa, yo te rele plas sa a Helkath-Hatsurim chanm a lam nepe yo ki nan Gabaon.
17 And the battle was exceedingly fierce on that day; and Abner with the men of Israel was beaten, before the servants of David.
Nan jou sa a, batay la te trè sevè e Abner avèk mesye Israël yo te kale devan sèvitè David yo.
18 And there were at that place three sons of Zeruyah, Joab, and Abishai, and 'Asahel: and 'Asahel was as fleet of foot as any roe in the field.
Alò, twa fis a Tseruja yo te la, Joab avèk Abschaï avèk Asaël te vit sou pye yo tankou yon gazèl mawon nan chan.
19 And 'Asahel pursued after Abner; and he turned not in going to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
Asaël te kouri dèyè Abner e pa t vire ni adwat ni agoch nan kouri dèyè Abner.
20 And Abner turned round and said, Art thou 'Asahel? And he answered, I am.
Alò, Abner te gade dèyè li, e te di: “Èske se ou, Asaël?” Epi li te reponn: “Se mwen.”
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold for thyself on one of the young men, and take thyself his armor. But 'Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
Konsa, Abner te di li: “Vire vè adwat oswa agoch, pran youn nan jennonm yo pou kont ou e pran pou ou menm nan piyaj la.” Men Asaël pa t dakò pou vire pa swiv li.
22 And Abner repeated again to say unto 'Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? and how should I then lift up my face to Joab thy brother?
Abner te repete ankò a Asaël: “Vire pa swiv mwen Poukisa mwen ta frape ou pou jiskaske ou rive atè? Konsa, kijan mwen ta kapab leve figi mwen a frè ou a, Joab?”
23 But he refused to turn aside; and Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear under the fifth rib, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died on the spot: and it came to pass, that all who came to the place where 'Asahel had fallen down and died remained standing still.
Sepandan, li te refize vire akote; pou sa, Abner te frape li nan vant avèk frenn li jiskaske li te parèt nan do li Epi li te tonbe la menm e te mouri sou lye a. Epi li te vin rive ke tout moun ki te vini kote Asaël te mouri an, te kanpe an plas.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giach on the way to the wilderness of Gib'on.
Men Joab avèk Abischaï te kouri dèyè Abner e pandan solèy la t ap bese, yo te rive nan ti mòn a Amma a, ki devan Guiach pa chemen dezè a Gabaon an.
25 And the children of Benjamin assembled themselves together behind Abner, and formed one solid body, and posted themselves on the top of a certain hill.
Fis Benjamin yo te rasanble ansanm dèyè Abner e te devni yon sèl ekip; epi yo te kanpe sou tèt a yon sèten ti mòn.
26 And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall for everlasting the sword devour? knowest thou not that it will be bitter in the end? and how long shall it be, ere thou wilt bid the people to return from pursuing their brethren?
Alò, Abner te rele Joab e te di: “Èske epe a va devore tout tan? Èske ou pa konprann ke alafen, sa ap vin anmè? Pou konbyen de tan ou va refize di pèp la sispann kouri dèyè frè yo?”
27 And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then already in the morning would the people have gone away every one from pursuing his brother.
Joab te di: “Jan Bondye viv la, si ou pa t pale; byensi, pèp la t ap kite sa maten an e chak moun t ap sispann swiv frè yo.”
28 So Joab blew the cornet, and all the people remained standing still, and pursued no more after Israel, and they continued no more to fight.
Epi Joab te soufle twonpèt la. Konsa, tout pèp la te sispann e yo pa t kouri dèyè Israël ankò, ni yo pa t kontinye goumen ankò.
29 And Abner and his men walked through the plain all that night, and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Machanayim.
Alò, Abner avèk mesye pa li yo te mache nan dezè Araba a tout nwit lan. Yo te travèse Jourdain an, yo te mache tout maten an pou te vini Mahanaïm.
30 And Joab returned from pursuing Abner; and he gathered all the people together; and there were missed of David's servants nineteen men and 'Asahel.
Alò, Joab te retounen soti swiv Abner. Lè li te fin rasanble tout pèp la ansanm, diz-nèf nan sèvitè David yo anplis ke Asaël te manke.
31 But the servants of David had smitten [many] of Benjamin, and of Abner's men: three hundred and sixty men died.
Men sèvitè David yo te touye anpil nan mesye Benjamin yo avèk Abner yo, jiskaske te rive twa-san-swasant moun te mouri.
32 And they took up 'Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lechem. And Joab and his men went all that night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
Yo te pran Asaël e te antere li nan tonm papa li ki te Bethléhem. Epi Joab avèk mesye pa l yo te ale tout nwit lan jiskaske li te vin fè jou kote Hébron.
