2 Samuel 2
1 And it was after thus and he enquired David by Yahweh - saying ¿ will I go up in one of [the] cities of Judah and he said Yahweh to him go up and he said David where? will I go up and he said Hebron towards.
Ensuite David consulta le Seigneur, en disant: "Dois-je monter dans quelqu’une des villes de Judée?" Le Seigneur lui répondit: "Monte. Où monterai-je? dit David." Il répondit: "A Hébron."
2 And he went up there David and also [the] two wives his Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Et David s’y rendit ainsi que ses deux femmes, Ahinoam, de Jezreël, et Abigaïl, veuve de Nabal le Carmélite.
3 And men his who [were] with him he brought up David each man and household his and they dwelt in [the] cities of Hebron.
David y fit aussi monter ses compagnons, chacun avec sa famille, et ils s’établirent dans le canton de Hébron.
4 And they came [the] people of Judah and they anointed there David to king over [the] house of Judah and people told to David saying [the] men of Jabesh Gilead who they buried Saul.
Les hommes de Juda vinrent y sacrer David roi de la maison de Juda; et l’on annonça à David que les gens de Jabès-Galaad avaient enseveli Saül.
5 And he sent David messengers to [the] people of Jabesh Gilead and he said to them [be] blessed you by Yahweh that you have done the loyalty this with lord your with Saul and you have buried him.
David envoya des messagers aux gens de Jabès-Galaad pour leur dire: "Soyez bénis de l’Eternel, pour cette bonne œuvre que vous avez pratiquée envers Saül, notre maître, en lui donnant la sépulture!
6 And now may he do Yahweh with you covenant loyalty and faithfulness and also I I will do with you the good this that you have done the thing this.
A son tour, que le Seigneur vous traite avec bienveillance et fidélité! Et moi aussi je vous témoignerai la même faveur pour avoir agi de la sorte.
7 And now - let them be strong hands your and become sons of strength for he has died lord your Saul and also me they have anointed [the] house of Judah to king over them.
Maintenant, que vos mains soient fermes et montrez-vous gens de cœur, votre maître Saül étant mort et la maison de Juda m’ayant sacré son roi."
8 And Abner [the] son of Ner [the] commander of [the] army which [belonged] to Saul he had taken Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul and he had brought over him Mahanaim.
Or, Abner, fils de Ner, chef de l’armée de Saül, avait pris Isboseth, fils de Saül, l’avait fait passer à Mahanaïm,
9 And he made king him to Gilead and to the Ashurite[s] and to Jezreel and over Ephraim and over Benjamin and over Israel all of it.
et proclamer roi sur le Galaad, sur les Achourites, sur Jezreël, sur Ephraïm, Benjamin et tout Israël.
10 [was] a son of Forty year[s] Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul when became king he over Israel and two years he reigned only [the] house of Judah they were after David.
Isboseth, fils de Saül, était âgé de quarante ans lorsqu’il devint ainsi roi d’Israël, et il régna deux ans. La maison de Juda seule s’attacha à David.
11 And it was [the] number of the days which he was David king in Hebron over [the] house of Judah seven years and six months.
Or, la durée du temps où David régna à Hébron sur la maison de Juda fut de sept ans et six mois.
12 And he went out Abner [the] son of Ner and [the] servants of Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul from Mahanaim Gibeon towards.
Abner, fils de Ner, et les autres serviteurs d’Isboseth, fils de Saül, sortirent de Mahanaïm dans la direction de Gabaon.
13 And Joab [the] son of Zeruiah and [the] servants of David they went out and they met them at [the] pool of Gibeon together and they sat down these [men] at the pool from this and these [men] at the pool from this.
Joab, fils de Cerouya, et les autres serviteurs de David sortirent aussi, et ils se rencontrèrent mutuellement près de la piscine de Gabaon; les uns s’arrêtèrent d’un côté de la piscine, les autres du côté opposé.
14 And he said Abner to Joab let them arise please the young men and let them play before us and he said Joab let them arise.
Et Abner dit à Joab: "Que les plus jeunes s’avancent et s’escriment devant nous!" Joab répondit: "Qu’ils s’avancent!"
15 And they arose and they passed by by number two [plus] ten for Benjamin and for Ish-bosheth [the] son of Saul and two [plus] ten from [the] servants of David.
Ils s’avancèrent en nombre égal, douze Benjamites, du parti d’Isboseth, fils de Saül, et douze des serviteurs de David.
16 And they took hold each - on [the] head of neighbor his and sword his [was] in [the] side of neighbor his and they fell together and someone called the place that Helkath Hazzurim which [is] in Gibeon.
Ils se prirent mutuellement par la tête, passèrent leur épée dans le flanc l’un de l’autre, et tombèrent ensemble. On appela cet endroit "le Champ des Courim de Gabaon".
17 And it was the battle severe up to muchness on the day that and he was defeated Abner and [the] men of Israel before [the] servants of David.
Le combat fut très âpre ce jour-là. Abner et les gens d’Israël furent battus par les serviteurs de David.
18 And they were there three [the] sons of Zeruiah Joab and Abishai and Asahel and Asahel [was] swift on feet his like one of the gazelles which [are] in the open country.
Or, là se trouvaient les trois fils de Cerouya: Joab, Abisar et Assahel, Assahel aux pieds légers comme ceux des chevreuils de la plaine.
19 And he pursued Asahel after Abner and not he turned aside to go to the right and to the left from after Abner.
Assahel poursuivit Abner et s’attacha à ses pas sans s’écarter à droite ni à gauche.
20 And he turned Abner behind him and he said ¿ you [is] this O Asahel and he said I.
Abner, se retournant, lui dit: "Est-ce bien toi, Assahel? C’Est moi", répondit-il.
21 And he said to him Abner turn aside for yourself to right your or to left your and seize for yourself one from the young men and take for yourself spoils his and not he was willing Asahel to turn aside from after him.
Abner lui dit: "Oblique à droite ou à gauche, saisis-toi d’un de ces jeunes gens et prends son armure." Mais Assahel ne voulut pas cesser de le poursuivre.
22 And he repeated again Abner to say to Asahel turn aside for yourself from after me why? will I strike you [the] ground towards and how? will I lift up face my to Joab brother your.
Abner insista en disant à Assahel: "Eloigne-toi de moi. Pourquoi veux-tu que je te renverse mort à terre, et comment oserais-je ensuite regarder en face ton frère Joab?"
23 And he refused to turn aside and he struck him Abner with [the] back end of the spear into the belly and it went out the spear from behind him and he fell there and he died (in place his *Q(K)*) and it was every [one] who came to the place where he fell there Asahel and he died and they stood still.
Comme il refusait de s’éloigner, Abner le frappa du revers de sa lance, qui l’atteignit dans l’aine et ressortit par derrière; il tomba et mourut sur place. Et tous ceux qui arrivaient à l’endroit où Assahel était tombé mort s’y arrêtaient.
24 And they pursued Joab and Abishai after Abner and the sun it set and they they came to [the] hill of Ammah which [is] on [the] face of Giah [the] way of [the] wilderness of Gibeon.
Joab et Abisaï poursuivirent Abner. Le soleil était couché lorsqu’ils arrivèrent à la colline d’Amma, en face de Ghiah, dans la direction du désert de Gabaon.
25 And they gathered together [the] descendants of Benjamin behind Abner and they became a band one and they stood on [the] top of a hill one.
Les Benjamites se groupèrent autour d’Abner, formant ainsi un seul faisceau, et ils s’arrêtèrent au sommet d’une colline.
26 And he called out Abner to Joab and he said ¿ to perpetuity will it devour [the] sword ¿ not do you know? that bitter it will be at the last and until when? not will you say to the people to turn back from after brothers their.
Alors Abner, appelant Joab, lui dit: "L’Épée ne cessera donc pas de dévorer? Ne sais-tu pas que cela finira tristement? Jusqu’à quand donc t’abstiendras-tu d’engager ce peuple à ne plus poursuivre ses frères?
27 And he said Joab [by] [the] life of God if if not you had spoken for then from the morning it had abandoned pursuit the people each from after brother his.
Par le Dieu vivant! répondit Joab, si tu n’avais parlé, ils se seraient, dès le matin, séparés les uns des autres."
28 And he gave a blast Joab on the trumpet and they stood all the people and not they pursued again after Israel and not they repeated again to wage war.
Et Joab sonna du cor, et toute la troupe s’arrêta, cessa de poursuivre Israël, et ils renoncèrent à batailler.
29 And Abner and men his they went in the Arabah all the night that and they passed over the Jordan and they went all Bitron and they came Mahanaim.
Abner et ses hommes parcoururent la plaine toute cette nuit, traversèrent le Jourdain, passèrent tout le Bitron et atteignirent Mahanaïm.
30 And Joab he returned from after Abner and he gathered all the people and they were missed of [the] servants of David nine-teen man and Asah-el.
Pour Joab, il avait cessé de poursuivre Abner et rassemblé toute sa troupe. Parmi les serviteurs de David, il manquait dix-neuf hommes, plus Assahel.
31 And [the] servants of David they had struck down of Benjamin and among [the] men of Abner three hundred and sixty man they had died.
Mais les serviteurs de David avaient, tant des Benjamites que des gens d’Abner, frappé à mort trois cent soixante hommes.
32 And people lifted up Asahel and they buried him in [the] tomb of father his which [was] Beth-lehem and they went all the night Joab and men his and it became light for them at Hebron.
On emporta Assahel et on l’enterra dans le sépulcre de son père, à Bethléem. Joab et ses hommes marchèrent toute la nuit et arrivèrent à Hébron avec le jour.
