2 Samuel 5

1 Then came all the tribes of Israel unto David, in Hebron, —and spake, saying—Behold us! thy bone and thy flesh, we are.

Tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon, yo di l' konsa: -Nou se moun menm ras, menm fanmi avè ou.

2 Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou, wast he that led out and brought in, Israel, —and Yahweh said to thee—Thou, shalt be shepherd unto my people, Israel, and, thou, shalt become leader 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 unto the king, in Hebron, and King David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be 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 Thirty years old, was David when he began to reign, —forty years, he reigned:

David te gen trantan lè l' rive wa. Li kòmande pandan karantan.

5 in Hebron, reigned he over Judah, seven years, and six months, —and, in Jerusalem, reigned he thirty and 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 went the king and his men, to Jerusalem, against the Jebusites, inhabiting the land, —and they spake to David, saying—Thou canst not come in hither, unless thou take away the blind and lame—Thinking, David will not come in hither.

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 So then David captured the citadel of Zion, —the same, 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 And David said, on that day—Whosoever is smiting the Jebusites, then let him reach as far as the aqueduct. But, as for the lame and the blind, they were the hated of David’s soul, —for which cause, they kept on saying, Blind and lame! he will not enter the place.

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 So then David dwelt in the citadel, and called it, The City of David, —and David built round about, from Millo and inwards.

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 And David went on and on waxing great, —Yahweh, God of hosts, being with him.

Chak jou David t'ap vin pi fò. Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te avè l'.

11 Then Hiram, king of Tyre, sent messengers unto David, with cedar-wood, and carpenters, and masons, and they built a house for David.

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 So David perceived that Yahweh had established him to be king over Israel, —and that he had exalted his kingdom, for the sake of his people Israel.

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 And David took him yet more concubines and wives, out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron, and there were, yet further, born unto David, 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 Now, these, are the names of the sons who were born unto 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 Nepheg and Yaphia;

Jibka, Elichwa, Nefèg, Jafya,

16 and Elishama and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

Elichama, Elyada ak Elifelèt.

17 And, when the Philistine heard that they had anointed David to be king over Israel, then came up all the Philistines to seek to secure David, and David heard of it, and went down into the citadel.

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, had come, —and had spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.

Moun Filisti yo rive, yo pran tout fon Refayim lan pou yo.

19 So then David enquired of Yahweh, saying, —Shall I go up against the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And Yahweh said unto David—Go up; for I, will surely deliver, the Philistines into thy 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 And David entered Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said—Yahweh hath broken forth upon mine enemies, before me, like a breaking forth of waters. For this cause, called he 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 left their images 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 And, yet again, did the Philistines come up, —and they spread themselves out in the vale of Rephaim.

Moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon Refayim lan, yo pran tout plenn lan pou yo ankò.

23 So David enquired of Yahweh, and he said—Thou shalt not go up, —Get round behind them, and come in upon them, over against the mulberry-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 thou shalt hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, then, shalt thou act with decision, —for, then, will Yahweh have gone forth before thee, to smite the host 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 so, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and smote the Philistines, from Gibeon until thou enterest 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.
