2 Samuel 20
1 And there happened to be a man of worthlessness there, and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he blows with a horn and says, “We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each [goes] 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 And every man of Israel goes up from after David, after Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to 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 comes to his house at Jerusalem. And the king takes the ten women-concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and puts them in a house of ward and sustains them, and he has not gone in to them, and they are shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
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 And the king says to Amasa, “Call the men of Judah for me [within] three days, and you, stand here,”
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 and Amasa goes to call Judah, and tarries beyond the appointed time that 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 says to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bichri does evil to us more than Absalom; you, take the servants of your lord, and pursue after him, lest he has found fortified cities for himself, and delivered himself [from] our eye.”
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 the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba 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 they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa has gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; he has put his long robe on him, and on it a girdle—a sword [is] fastened on his loins in its sheath; and he has gone out, and it falls.
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 says to Amasa, “Are you [in] peace, my brother?” And the right hand of Joab lays hold on the beard of Amasa to give a kiss to 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 and Amasa has not been watchful of the sword that [is] in the hand of Joab, and he strikes him with it to the fifth [rib], and sheds out his bowels to the earth, and he has not repeated [it] to him, and he dies; and Joab and his brother Abishai have pursued after Sheba 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 a man has stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and says, “He who has delight in Joab, and he who [is] for David—after 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 is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the highway, and the man sees that all the people have stood still, and he brings around Amasa out of the highway to the field, and casts a garment over him when he has seen that everyone who has come by him has 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 has been removed out of the highway, every man has passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba 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 passes over through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are assembled, and also go in 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 go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mound against the city, and it stands in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab are destroying, to cause the wall to fall.
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 And a wise woman calls out of the city, “Hear! Hear! Please say to Joab, Come near here, and I speak to you.”
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 comes near to her, and the woman says, “Are you Joab?” And he says, “I [am].” And she says to him, “Hear the words of your handmaid”; and he says, “I am hearing.”
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 And she speaks, saying, “They spoke often in former times, saying, Let them diligently inquire at Abel, and so they finished.
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 I [am] of the peaceable, faithful ones of Israel; you are seeking to destroy a city and mother in Israel; why do you swallow up the inheritance of YHWH?”
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 answers and says, “Far be it—far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor destroy.
Joab te reponn: “Lwen de sa, lwen de mwen pou mwen ta anglouti, oswa detwi!
21 The matter [is] not so; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim—Sheba son of Bichri [is] his name—has lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give him up by himself, and I go away from the city.” And the woman says to Joab, “Behold, his head is cast to you 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 And the woman comes to all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] to Joab, and he blows with a horn, and they are scattered from the city, each [goes] to his tents, and Joab has turned back to Jerusalem to 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 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
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 [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,
epi Adoram te sou travay fòse a e Josaphat, fis a Achilud la te grefye a;
25 and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests,
epi Scheja te sekretè a e Tsadok avèk Abiathar te prèt;
26 and also, Ira the Jairite has been minister to David.
epi Ira, Jayirit la te yon prèt osi pou David.
