2 Samuel 8

1 And it came to pass, after this, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, —and David took the bridle of the metropolis, out of the hand of the Philistines.

Apre sa, David atake moun Filisti yo ankò. Li bat yo byen bat. Se konsa li kraze pouvwa yo te gen nan peyi a, li pran peyi a nan men yo.

2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with the line casting, them down to the ground, and be measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive, —so the Moabites became David’s, as servants, bringing gifts.

Lèfini li bat moun peyi Moab yo. Li fè prizonye yo kouche plat atè. Pou chak twa ladan yo, li touye de, li kite yonn vivan. Depi lè sa a moun peyi Moab yo soumèt devan David nèt. Li fè yo peye taks ba li chak lè.

3 And David smote Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, —when he went to lay his hand on the River Euphrates.

Apre sa, li bat Adadezè, pitit gason Reyòb, wa peyi Zoba a, ki t'ap mache pran zòn ki sou anwo larivyè Lefrat la.

4 And David captured from him, a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, —and David destroyed all the chariots, but reserved of them, a hundred chariots.

David pran mil sètsan (1700) kavalye nan lame wa Adadezè a, li fè yo prizonye ansanm ak venmil (20.000) sòlda ki t'ap mache apye. Lè li fin wete kont chwal pou san cha lagè, li fè koupe jarèt tout rès chwal yo.

5 And, when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David smote of the Syrians, twenty-two thousand men.

Moun peyi Siri ki te rete lavil Damas yo voye yon lame pou pote Adadezè, wa peyi Zoba a, konkou. David atake yo, li bat yo tou. Li touye venndemil (22.000) sòlda.

6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus, and the Syrians became David’s, as servants bringing gifts, —and so Yahweh gave victory unto David, whithersoever he went.

Apre sa, David mete kèk ganizon sòlda pa l' nan teritwa Damas la. Moun peyi Siri yo soumèt devan li. Li fè yo peye l' taks chak lè. Se konsa, Seyè a te fè David genyen tout batay kote l' pase.

7 And David took the shields of gold which had come to the servants of Hadadezer, —and brought them to Jerusalem;

David sezi tout gwo plak pwotèj an fè chèf lame wa Adadezè yo, li pote yo lavil Jerizalèm.

8 also, from Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, did King David take bronze, exceeding much.

Li pran yon gwo kantite kwiv li te jwenn lavil Beta ak lavil Bewotayi, ki te pou Adadezè.

9 And, when Tou king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer,

Lè Tòy, wa lavil Amat la, tande jan David te kraze tout lame Adadezè a,

10 then Tou sent Hadoram his son unto King David, to ask after his welfare, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and had smitten him, for Hadadezer had had wars with Tou, —and, in his hand, were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.

li voye pitit li, Joram, al wè David pou di l' bonjou epi pou fè l' konpliman dèske li te bat Adadezè, paske Tòy te toutan ap fè lagè ak Adadezè. Joram te pote kado fèt an lò, an ajan ak an kwiv bay David.

11 Them also, did King David hallow unto Yahweh, —with the silver and the gold which he had hallowed from all the nations which he had subdued:

Wa David pran tout bagay sa yo, li mete yo apa pou sèvis Seyè a ansanm ak tout lò ak ajan li te pran lakay moun lòt nasyon li te fè soumèt devan li,

12 from Syria, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek, —and from the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

ki vle di moun peyi Edon, moun peyi Moab, moun peyi Amon, moun peyi Filisti ak moun peyi Amalèk. Li fè menm bagay la tou ak tou sa li te pran apre lagè ak Adadezè, pitit Reyòb, wa Zoba a.

13 And David made a name, when he returned from his smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, —eighteen thousand.

Non David te nan bouch tout moun pi rèd toujou, lè li te fin touye dizwitmil (18.000) moun peyi Edon nan fon Sèl la.

14 And he put, in Edom, garrisons, throughout all Edom, put be garrisons, and so it was that all Edom became servants unto David, —and Yahweh gave victory unto David, whithersoever he went.

Li mete kèk ganizon sòlda pa l' nan teritwa Edon an. Moun Edon yo soumèt devan li. Li fè yo peye l' taks chak lè. Se konsa Seyè a te fè David genyen tout batay kote l' pase.

15 And David reigned over all Israel, —and so it was that David used to execute justice and righteousness for all his people;

David t'ap gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la. Li te fè tout moun jistis san patipri. Li te fè tout zafè l' dwat.

16 and, Joab, son of Zeruiah, was over the army, —and, Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was remembrancer.

Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te kòmandan lame a. Jozafa, pitit gason Akiloud la, te reskonsab achiv yo.

17 And, Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Abimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, —and, Seraiah, was scribe;

Zadòk, pitit gason Akitoub la, ak Akimelèk, pitit gason Abyata a, te prèt. Seraja te sekretè.

18 and, Benaiah, son of Jehoiadah, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, —and, the sons of David, became, chief rulers.

Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, te chèf keretyen ak peletyen yo ki te gad pèsonèl wa a. Pitit gason David yo menm te prèt.
