2 Samuel 20
1 Now there happened to be a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite. And he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no share in David, nor do we have any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, 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 Israel deserted David and followed Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed by their king, from the Jordan 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 Then David came to his palace at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the palace, and placed them under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were kept in confinement until the day of their death, living as widows.
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 the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days, and be present here yourself."
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 summon Judah together, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been allotted him.
Konsa, Amasa te ale rele mesye Juda yo, men li te pran reta plis tan ke li te dwe pran an.
6 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants with you and pursue after him, otherwise he will get himself to fortified cities and escape from us."
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 So there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the warriors. And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
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 that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was wearing his military attire, and over it was a belt with a dagger in its sheath fastened at his waist, and as he advanced 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 you, my brother?" Then 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 did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he stabbed him with it in the abdomen, so that his intestines spilled out on the ground, and he did not do it to him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
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 one of Joab's young men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever is the one that favors Joab and whoever belongs to David, 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 But Amasa lay covered with his blood in the midst of the road, and anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. So when the man saw that all the people stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
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 from the road, all the people followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.
Depi li te rete sou granchemen an, tout mesye yo te pase ale dèyè Joab pou kouri dèyè Schéba, fis a Bicri a.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites assembled and followed 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 all the people who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. And they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall so that it would collapse.
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 a wise woman called out from the wall, "Listen, listen. Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak to him.
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 So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "I am." Then she said, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he replied, "I'm listening."
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 said, "In the past they used to say, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
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 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?"
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 Joab answered, "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 That is not the case. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri, has rebelled against king David. Give up him alone and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "Look, his head will be thrown to you from 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 she spoke to all the city with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from him, each returning to his home. And Joab went 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 Now Joab was in command of the entire army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and in command of 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 Adoniram was in command of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
epi Adoram te sou travay fòse a e Josaphat, fis a Achilud la te grefye a;
25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
epi Scheja te sekretè a e Tsadok avèk Abiathar te prèt;
26 and also Ira the Jairite was David's priest.
epi Ira, Jayirit la te yon prèt osi pou David.
