2 Samuel 5
1 Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, saying, "Look, we are your bone and your flesh.
Tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon, yo di l' konsa: -Nou se moun menm ras, menm fanmi avè ou.
2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. The LORD said to you, 'You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be ruler over Israel.'"
Depi lontan, menm sou rèy Sayil, se ou menm ki te kòmande lame pèp Izrayèl la kote l' pase. Lèfini ankò, Seyè a te pwomèt se ou menm ki pral gouvènen pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la, se ou menm ki pral chèf yo.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.
Se konsa tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon. Yo pase yon kontra avè l' devan Seyè a. Yo fè seremoni, yo mete l' wa sou pèp Izrayèl la tou.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
David te gen trantan lè l' rive wa. Li kòmande pandan karantan.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
Antan lavil Ebwon, li kòmande moun Jida yo pandan sètan simwa. Lavil Jerizalèm, li kòmande ni moun pèp Izrayèl yo ni moun pèp Jida yo pandan tranntwazan.
6 Then the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who said to David, "You will not get in here." For the blind and the lame incited them, saying, "David can't get in here."
Apre sa, wa David pati pou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak sòlda li yo, li al atake moun Jebis yo ki te rete nan zòn sa a. Moun Jebis yo te konprann David pa ta ka antre pran lavil la. Yo di l' konsa: -Ou p'ap janm ka rive antre nan lavil nou an. Ata moun je pete ak moun enfim ka gen kont fòs pou mete ou deyò.
7 Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).
Men, David pran gwo fò ki te sou tèt mòn Siyon an. Se li yo rele lavil David la.
8 David said on that day, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him get up to the watercourse, and strike the lame and the blind, those who hate the soul of David." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame can't come into the palace."
Jou sa a, David te di moun pa li yo: -Tout moun ki vle atake moun Jebis yo va pase nan kannal la, y'a tonbe sou bann enfim ak je pete sa yo ki pa vle wè m' yo. Se depi lè sa a yo di moun je pete ak moun enfim pa gen dwa mete pwent pye yo nan Tanp Seyè a.
9 David lived in the stronghold, and called it the City of David. And he built a city all around from the Millo and inward.
Apre sa, David al rete nan gwo fò a, li rele l' lavil David la. Lèfini, li bati lòt kay fè wonn fò a, depi sou teras la rive bò palè a.
10 David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of hosts was with him.
Chak jou David t'ap vin pi fò. Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te avè l'.
11 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and craftsmen of wood, and craftsmen of a wall; and they built David a palace.
Se konsa, Iram, wa lavil Tir la, delege kèk mesaje bò kot David ak yon chajman bwa sèd. Li voye tou kèk bòs chapant ak bòs mason ki bati yon palè pou David.
12 And David knew that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
Lè sa a atò, David wè tout bon vre se Seyè a menm ki te mete l' wa pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm menm ki te fè tout bagay mache byen pou gouvènman li a, akòz pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la.
13 David took more secondary wives and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and there were born to David more sons and daughters.
Lè David kite lavil Ebwon pou li al lavil Jerizalèm, rive la li pran lòt madanm ak lòt fanm kay ki ba li lòt pitit gason ak lòt pitit fi.
14 These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
Men jan yo te rele pitit David ki te fèt lavil Jerizalèm yo: Chamwa, Chobab, Natan, Salomon,
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Eliphelet, and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
Jibka, Elichwa, Nefèg, Jafya,
16 and Elishama, and Baaliada, and Eliphelet.
Elichama, Elyada ak Elifelèt.
17 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over Israel, the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.
Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen yo te mete David wa pèp Izrayèl la, yo tout yo leve pou y' al mete men sou li. Lè David pran nouvèl la, li desann al kache nan yon fò.
18 Now the Philistines came and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
Moun Filisti yo rive, yo pran tout fon Refayim lan pou yo.
19 So David inquired of the LORD, asking, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?" Then the LORD answered David, "Go up, for I will certainly deliver them into your hand."
David pale ak Seyè a, li mande l': -Eske se pou m' atake moun Filisti yo? Eske w'ap lage yo nan men m'? Seyè a reponn li: -Wi, atake yo. M'ap lage yo nan men ou.
20 So David came to Baal Perazim, and he defeated them there, and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of waters." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
David ale Baal Perazim. li bat moun Filisti yo. Lèfini, li di: -Tankou yon lavalas, Seyè a pase, li louvri yon pasaj pou mwen nan mitan lènmi m' yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Baal Perazim.
21 And they abandoned their idols there; and David and his men took them away.
Moun Filisti yo te kouri kite zidòl yo dèyè nan plenn lan. David ak moun pa l' yo pran yo pote ale.
22 The Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the Valley of Rephaim.
Moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon Refayim lan, yo pran tout plenn lan pou yo ankò.
23 And David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD said to him, "You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them opposite the poplar trees.
David mande Seyè a sa pou l' fè. Seyè a di l': -Pa atake yo pa devan. Pase pa dèyè yo. Pare kò ou pou ou atake yo bò pye gayak yo.
24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, that then you are to act decisively; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines."
Lè w'a tande yon bri tankou bri pye yon moun k'ap mache sou tèt pyebwa yo, w'a fonse sou yo. Paske sa vle di m'ap pran devan ou pou m' bat lame moun Filisti yo.
25 And David did as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
David fè sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a. Li bat moun Filisti yo, li kouri dèyè yo depi Lavil Gebarive lavil Gezè.
