2 Samuel 16
1 Now, David, had passed on but a little from the summit, when lo! Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth, met him, —with a couple of asses saddled, and, upon them, two hundred cakes of bread, and one hundred cakes of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
David te fèk fin kite tèt mòn lan lè li wè Ziba, domestik Mefibochèt la, k'ap vin kontre l'. Li t'ap mennen de bourik byen chaje avèk desan (200) pen, san (100) grap rezen chèch, san (100) pake fwi mi ak yon gwo veso fèt ak po bèt plen diven.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou, by these? And Ziba said—The asses, are for the king’s household, to ride on, and, the bread and the summer fruits, are for the young men to eat, and, the wine, is for drink to such as are faint in the wilderness.
Wa David mande l': -Sa ou pral fè ak tout bagay sa yo? Ziba reponn li: -Bourik yo, se pou wa a ansanm ak fanmi li yo moute. Pen yo ak fwi yo, se pou moun ou yo manje, diven an pou yo bwè lè y'a santi yo bouke nan dezè a.
3 Then said the king, And where is thy lord’s son? And Ziba said unto the king—Lo! abiding in Jerusalem, for he said, To-day, will the house of Israel, restore unto me, the kingdom of my father.
Wa a mande l': -Kote mèt ou, Mefibochèt, pitit pitit Sayil la? Ziba reponn: -Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, paske li di li sèten moun peyi Izrayèl yo pral renmèt li baton kòmandman ki te nan men Sayil, granpapa l' la.
4 Then said the king unto Ziba, Lo! thine, is all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said—I have done homage, that I might find favour in thine eyes, my lord O king.
Wa a di Ziba konsa: -Depi jòdi a, tou sa ki te pou Mefibochèt se pou ou yo ye. Ziba reponn li: -Men mwen lage kò m' nan pye ou, monwa. Mwen mande pou ou toujou kontan avè m'.
5 And, when King David had come as far as Bahurim, lo! from thence a man coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, whose name, was Shimei son of Gera, coming out and cursing as he came.
Lè wa David rive bò lavil Bakourim, yon moun fanmi wa Sayil soti lavil la vin kontre l'. Se te Chimeyi, pitit gason Gera a. Antan l'ap vanse sou David, li t'ap joure l', li t'ap ba li madichon.
6 And he pelted, with stones, David and all the servants of King David, —all the people, and all the mighty men, being on his right hand and on his left.
Li konmanse voye wòch sou David ak sou moun pa l' yo, atout pèp la ak sòlda yo t'ap mache sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch wa a.
7 And, thus, said Shimei, when he cursed, —Out! Out! thou man of bloodshed, and man of the Abandoned One!
Chimeyi t'ap bay David madichon, li t'ap di l': -Ale ou vouzan! Ale ou vouzan! Vakabon! Ansasen!
8 Yahweh, hath brought back upon thee, all the shed-blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned, and Yahweh hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absolom thy son, —and, here thou art, in thy ruin, for that, a man of bloodshed, thou art.
Ou te pran plas wa Sayil la! Jòdi a Seyè a ap pini ou pou tout moun nan fanmi Sayil ou te sasinen yo. Seyè a renmèt gouvènman an nan men Absalon, pitit gason ou lan. Se konsa pou ou te fini, se ansasen ou ye!
9 Then said Abishai, son of Zeruiah, unto the king—Wherefore should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I pray thee, let me cross over and take off his head.
Abichayi, pitit gason Sewouya a, di wa a konsa: -Monwa, poukisa pou ou kite chen mouri sa a ap madichonnen ou konsa? Kite m' janbe lòt bò a al koupe tèt li!
10 But the king said, What have I in common with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? thus, he curseth, because, Yahweh, hath said unto him—Curse David. Who then can say, Why hast thou done thus?
Wa a di Abichayi ansanm ak Joab, frè li a: -Pa antre nan sa ki pa gade nou, tande. Si se Seyè a ki di l' pou l' ban m' madichon, ki moun ki gen dwa mande l' pouki l'ap fè sa?
11 Then said David unto Abishai, and unto all his servants, Lo! my own son who sprang from my body, is seeking my life, —then how much more, now, a Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse, for, Yahweh, hath permitted him.
Apre sa, David pale ak Abichayi ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo, li di yo: -Gade! Pwòp pitit gason mwen, san mwen, deyò pou l' touye m'. Ale wè pou moun sa a ki soti nan ras Benjamen yo! Kite l' ban m' madichon, si se Seyè a ki di l' ban m' madichon.
12 It may be, that Yahweh will behold with his eye, —and that Yahweh will return me good, for his cursing this day.
Nou pa janm konnen, Seyè a va wè nan ki mizè mwen ye. Lè sa a, l'a ban m' benediksyon nan plas madichon l'ap ban m' jòdi a.
13 And, when David and his men went along in the way, Shimei, was going along on the side of the hill over against him, cursing as he went, pelting him with stones, and throwing dust.
Se konsa, David ale chemen l' avèk tout moun li yo. Chimeyi menm t'ap mache dèyè yo sou flan mòn lan, li t'ap ba yo madichon, li t'ap voye wòch ak pousyè tè sou yo.
14 And the king and all the people that were with him arrived, weary, —and they refreshed themselves there.
Wa a ansanm ak tout pèp la te bouke jouk yo pa t' kapab ankò lè yo rive bò larivyè Jouden. Se la yo rete pran souf.
15 And, Absolom and all the men of Israel, entered Jerusalem, —and Ahithophel with him.
Absalon antre lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Achitofèl te ansanm ak yo.
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, the friend of David, came in unto Absolom, that Hushai said unto Absolom: Long live the king! Long live the king!
Lè Ouchayi, bon zanmi David la, kontre ak Absolon, li di: -Viv wa a! Viv wa a!
17 Then said Absolom unto Hushai, Is, this, thy lovingkindness unto thy friend? Wherefore wentest thou not with thy friend?
Absalon di l' konsa: -Se konsa ou te bon zanmi David la? Poukisa ou pa t' ale ansanm avè l'?
18 And Hushai said unto Absolom, Nay! but, whom Yahweh, and all this people, and the men of Israel have chosen, his, will I be, and, with him, will I dwell.
Ouchayi reponn li: -Ki jan pou m' ta fè sa? Se pou moun Seyè a ansanm ak moun sa yo ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo chwazi a mwen ye. Se avè l' pou m' rete.
19 And, again, whom, should, I serve? Should it not be in presence of his son? as I served in presence of thy father, so, will I continue thy presence.
Lèfini, ki moun pou m' ta sèvi si se pa pitit mèt mwen an? Menm jan mwen te sèvi papa ou, konsa m'a sèvi ou tou.
20 Then said Absolom unto Ahithophel, —Give ye your counsel, what we shall do.
Apre sa, Absalon vire bò Achitofèl, li di l' konsa: -Ann antann nou sou sa nou pral fè koulye a.
21 And Ahithophel said unto Absolom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, whom he hath left to keep the house, —so shall all Israel hear that thou hast made thyself odious unto thy father, and the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strengthened.
Achitofèl reponn: -Al kouche ak lòt fanm kay papa ou yo, sa li kite dèyè pou okipe palè a. Lè sa a, tout moun nan peyi Izrayèl la va konnen bagay la gate nèt ant ou menm ak papa ou. Konsa, moun ki avè ou yo ap vin pi ankouraje.
22 And they stretched out for Absolom a tent, upon the house-top, —and Absolom went in unto his father’s concubines, in the sight of all Israel.
Se konsa, yo moute yon tant pou Absalon sou teras sou do palè a. Epi la, devan tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo, Absalon kouche ak fanm kay papa l' yo.
23 Now, the counsel of Ahithophel which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God, —so, was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both to David, and also to Absolom.
Lè sa a, nenpòt konsèy Achitofèl te bay se tankou si se te pawòl Bondye. Ni David ni Absalon te toujou swiv konsèy li yo.
