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.
Ensuite, tout Israël, alla trouver David à Hébron, disant: Vois, 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.’”
Précédemment, quand Saül régnait encore, c'est toi qui conduisais et ramenais Israël, et le Seigneur notre Dieu avait dit: Tu seras le pasteur d'Israël, tu seras le chef de mon peuple.
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.
Et tous les anciens d'Israël allèrent en Hébron auprès du roi, et David fit alliance avec eux devant le Seigneur, en Hébron, et ils le sacrèrent roi d'Israël, selon la parole du Seigneur transmise 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.
Et le roi et ses hommes partirent pour Jérusalem, la même que Jébus; les Jébuséens habitaient cette terre.
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’.
Et ils dirent à David: Tu n'entreras pas ici. Et il prit la forteresse de Sion, la même que la ville 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.
Or, David avait dit: Celui qui, le premier, frappera le Jébuséen, sera général de mon armée; et Joab, fils de Sarvia, monta le premier à l'assaut, et il fut nommé général.
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’.
Et David s'établit dans la forteresse. A cause de cela, il l'appela Ville 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.
Et il bâtit la ville alentour.
9 David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
David alla ainsi grandissant, et le Seigneur tout-puissant 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 vaillants qui étaient avec David, et qui l'aidèrent à affermir son pouvoir sur tout Israël, selon la parole du Seigneur.
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 les noms des vaillants de David: Jésebada, fils d'Achaman, le premier des trente. Ce fut lui qui tira l'épée seul contre trois cents, et les tua tous en une fois.
12 Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
Après lui, Eléazar (Eléanan), fils de Dudi l'Ahonite; celui-ci était de la première triade.
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 Phasodamin, et les Philistins s'y réunirent pour livrer bataille. Or, il y avait un champ en partie couvert d'orge, et le peuple s'enfuit 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.
Pour lui, il s'arrêta au milieu du champ, et il le sauva; il tailla en pièces les Philistins, et le Seigneur 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.
Et trois, des trente chefs, se rendirent auprès de David, en la caverne d'Odollam, quand les Philistins étaient campés dans le val des Géants.
16 David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
David se tenait dans sa forteresse, et les Philistins avaient un poste 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!”
Et David eut un désir, et il dit: Qui m'apportera à boire de l'eau de la citerne qui est sous 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.
Et les trois vaillants s'ouvrirent un passage à travers le camp des Philistins, et ils puisèrent de l'eau dans la citerne sous la porte de Bethléem, et ils l'emportèrent, et ils la présentèrent à David; mais il ne voulut pas la boire, et il en fit une libation au Seigneur.
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.
Et il dit: Dieu me protège, je n'en ferai rien; je croirais boire le sang des hommes qui ont exposé leur vie. Et il ne voulut point boire; voilà ce qu'avaient fait les trois vaillants.
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.
Il y avait encore Abisaï (Abessa), frère de Joab; celui-ci était chef d'une seconde triade; il avait tiré l'épée contre trois cents qu'il avait tués tous en une fois, et il s'était fait un nom 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.
Et, dans sa triade, il fut illustre, et il en devint le chef; mais il n'alla pas aussi loin que ceux de la première triade.
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.
Il y avait aussi Banaïas, fils d'un homme vaillant, fils de Joad; il avait fait beaucoup de belles actions en faveur de Cabséel; ce fut lui qui tua deux Ariel de Moab, et qui descendit dans une citerne, un jour de neige, et qui y tua un lion.
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 tua encore un Égyptien, homme prodigieux, haut de cinq coudées, qui tenait dans sa main une javeline semblable au mât d'un tisserand; il l'attaqua, n'ayant qu'un bâton, il lui arracha des mains sa javeline, et il le tua avec cette javeline.
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 Joad, et son nom figurait dans la seconde triade.
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.
Et il fut plus illustre que les trente; mais il n'alla pas si loin que la première triade, et David le mit à la tête de sa maison.
