1 Chronicles 11
1 Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
Tout Israël s'assembla auprès de David à Hébron, en disant: " Voici que nous sommes tes os et ta chair.
2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
Autrefois déjà, quand Saül était roi, c'était toi qui menais et ramenais Israël. Et Yahweh, ton Dieu, t'a dit: C'est toi qui paîtras mon peuple d'Israël, et c'est toi qui seras chef sur mon peuple d'Israël. "
3 So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
Ainsi tous les anciens d'Israël vinrent auprès du roi à Hébron, et David fit alliance avec eux devant Yahweh, à Hébron; et ils oignirent David pour roi sur Israël, selon la parole de Yahweh prononcée par Samuel.
4 David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
David marcha avec tout Israël contre Jérusalem, qui est Jébus; là étaient les Jébuséens, habitants du pays.
5 Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
Les habitants de Jébus dirent à David: " Tu n'entreras pas ici. " Mais David s'empara de la forteresse de Sion: c'est la cité de David.
6 [What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
David dit: " Quiconque battra le premier les Jébuséens sera chef et prince. " Joab, fils de Sarvia, monta le premier, et il devint chef.
7 [After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
David s'établit dans la forteresse; c'est pourquoi on l'appela cité de David.
8 David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
Il bâtit la ville tout autour, à partir du Mello et aux environs, et Joab répara le reste de la ville.
9 David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
David devenait de plus en plus grand, et Yahweh des armées était avec lui.
10 Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
Voici les chefs des héros qui étaient au service de David, et qui, avec tout Israël, l'aidèrent pendant son règne, après avoir contribué à le faire roi, selon la parole de Yahweh au sujet d'Israël.
11 This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
Voici le nombre des héros qui étaient au service de David: Jesbaam, fils de Hachamoni, chef des Trente. Il brandit sa lance sur trois cents hommes, qu'il fit périr en une seule fois.
12 Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
Après lui, Eléazar, fils de Dodo, l'Ahohite; il était parmi les trois vaillants.
13 [One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
Il était avec David à Phes-Domim, et les Philistins s'y étaient rassemblés pour combattre. Il y avait là une pièce de terre pleine d'orge, et le peuple fuyait devant les Philistins.
14 but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
Ils se placèrent au milieu du champ, le défendirent et battirent les Philistins; et Yahweh opéra une grande délivrance.
15 One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
Trois d'entre les trente capitaines descendirent auprès de David sur le rocher, à la caverne d'Odollam, tandis que le camp des Philistins était dressé dans la vallée des Réphaïm.
16 David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
David était alors dans la forteresse, et il y avait un poste de Philistins à Bethléem.
17 [One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
David eut un désir, et il dit: " Qui me fera boire de l'eau de la citerne qui est à la porte de Bethléem? "
18 So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.
Aussitôt les trois hommes, passant au travers du camp des Philistins, puisèrent de l'eau de la citerne qui est à la porte de Bethléem. Ils la prirent et l'apportèrent à David; mais David ne voulut pas la boire, et il en fit une libation à Yahweh,
19 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.
en disant: " Que mon Dieu me garde de faire cela! Boirais-je le sang de ces hommes avec leur vie? Car c'est au péril de leur vie qu'ils l'ont apportée. " Et il ne voulut pas la boire. Voilà ce que firent ces trois braves.
20 Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
Abisaï, frère de Joab, était chef des Trois; il brandit sa lance contre trois cents hommes et les tua, et il eut du renom parmi les trois.
21 So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
Il était le plus considéré de la seconde triade, et il fut leur chef; mais il n'égala pas les trois premiers.
22 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
Banaïas, fils de Joïada, fils d'un homme vaillant et riche en exploits, de Cabséel. Il frappa les deux ariels de Moab. Il descendit et frappa le lion au milieu de la citerne un jour de neige.
23 He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
Il frappa un Egyptien d'une stature de cinq coudées; et dans la main de l'Egyptien, il y avait une lance semblable à une ensouple de tisserand. Il descendit vers lui avec un bâton, et il arracha la lance de la main de l'Egyptien et le frappa de sa propre lance.
24 Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
Voilà ce que fit Banaïas, fils de Joïada, et il eut du renom parmi les trois vaillants.
25 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
Voici qu'il était plus considéré que les trente, mais il n'égala pas les trois. David le fit membre de son conseil secret.
