1 Chronicles 20
1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
Or il arriva l'armée suivante, au temps que les Rois font leur sortie, que Joab conduisit le gros de l'armée, et ravagea le pays des enfants de Hammon; puis il alla assiéger Rabba, tandis que David demeurait à Jérusalem; et Joab battit Rabba, et la détruisit.
2 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
Et David prit la couronne de dessus la tête de leur Roi, et il trouva qu'elle pesait un talent d'or, et il y avait des pierres précieuses; et on la mit sur la tête de David, qui emmena un fort grand butin de la ville.
3 Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
Il emmena aussi le peuple qui y était, et les scia avec des scies, et avec des herses de fer et de scies. David traita de la sorte toutes les villes des enfants de Hammon; puis il s'en retourna avec tout le peuple à Jérusalem.
4 Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
Il arriva après cela que la guerre continua à Guézer contre les Philistins; [et] alors Sibbecaï le Husathite frappa Sippaï, qui était des enfants de Rapha, et ils furent abaissés.
5 In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
Il y eut encore une autre guerre contre les Philistins, dans laquelle Elhanan fils de Jahir frappa Lahmi, frère de Goliath Guittien, qui avait une hallebarde dont la hampe était comme l'ensuble d'un tisserand.
6 There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
Il y eut encore une autre guerre à Gath, où se trouva un homme de grande stature, qui avait six doigts à chaque main, et [six orteils] à chaque pied, de sorte qu'il en avait en tout vingt-quatre; et il était aussi de la race de Rapha.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Et il défia Israël; mais Jonathan, fils de Simha frère de David, le tua.
8 Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Ceux-là naquirent à Gath; ils étaient de la race de Rapha, et ils moururent par les mains de David, et par les mains de ses serviteurs.
