2 Samuel 5
1 Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
Et toutes les tribus d’Israël vinrent vers David à Hébron, et parlèrent, disant: Voici, nous sommes ton 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 promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
Et autrefois, quand Saül était roi sur nous, c’était toi qui faisais sortir et qui faisais entrer Israël; et l’Éternel t’a dit: Tu paîtras mon peuple Israël, et tu seras prince sur Israël.
3 So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
Et tous les anciens d’Israël vinrent vers le roi à Hébron; et le roi David fit alliance avec eux à Hébron, devant l’Éternel; et ils oignirent David pour roi sur Israël.
4 David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
David était âgé de 30 ans lorsqu’il devint roi; il régna 40 ans.
5 In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
Il régna à Hébron, sur Juda, sept ans et six mois; et, à Jérusalem, il régna 33 ans sur tout Israël et Juda.
6 [One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
Et le roi alla avec ses hommes à Jérusalem contre les Jébusiens, habitants du pays; et ils parlèrent à David, disant: Tu n’entreras point ici; mais les aveugles et les boiteux te repousseront; – pour dire: David n’entrera pas ici.
7 But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
Mais David prit la forteresse de Sion: c’est la ville de David.
8 On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
Et David dit en ce jour-là: Quiconque frappera les Jébusiens et atteindra le canal, et les boiteux et les aveugles qui sont haïs de l’âme de David…! C’est pourquoi on dit: L’aveugle et le boiteux n’entreront pas dans la maison.
9 [After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
Et David habita dans la forteresse, et l’appela ville de David; et David bâtit tout autour, depuis Millo vers l’intérieur.
10 David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
Et David allait grandissant de plus en plus; et l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées, était avec lui.
11 [One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
Et Hiram, roi de Tyr, envoya des messagers à David, et des bois de cèdre, et des charpentiers, et des tailleurs de pierres pour les murailles; et ils bâtirent une maison à David.
12 His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
Et David connut que l’Éternel l’avait établi roi sur Israël, et qu’il avait élevé son royaume à cause de son peuple Israël.
13 After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
Et David prit encore des concubines et des femmes de Jérusalem, après qu’il fut venu de Hébron, et il naquit encore à David des fils et des filles.
14 The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
Et ce sont ici les noms de ceux qui lui naquirent à Jérusalem: Shammua, et Shobab, et Nathan, et Salomon,
15 Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
et Jibkhar, et Élishua, et Népheg, et Japhia,
16 Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
et Élishama, et Éliada, et Éliphéleth.
17 When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
Et les Philistins apprirent qu’on avait oint David pour roi sur Israël, et tous les Philistins montèrent pour chercher David; et David l’apprit, et descendit à la forteresse.
18 The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
Et les Philistins vinrent et se répandirent dans la vallée des Rephaïm.
19 David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
Et David interrogea l’Éternel, disant: Monterai-je contre les Philistins? Les livreras-tu en ma main? Et l’Éternel dit à David: Monte, car certainement je livrerai les Philistins en ta main.
20 So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
Et David vint à Baal-Peratsim; et là David les frappa, et il dit: L’Éternel a fait une brèche au milieu de mes ennemis devant moi, comme une brèche faite par les eaux; c’est pourquoi il appela le nom de ce lieu Baal-Peratsim.
21 The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
Et ils laissèrent là leurs idoles, et David et ses hommes les emportèrent.
22 Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
Et les Philistins montèrent encore de nouveau, et se répandirent dans la vallée des Rephaïm.
23 So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
Et David interrogea l’Éternel. Et il dit: Tu ne monteras pas; tourne-les par-derrière, et tu viendras contre eux vis-à-vis des mûriers;
24 When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
et aussitôt que tu entendras sur le sommet des mûriers un bruit de gens qui marchent, alors tu t’élanceras, car alors l’Éternel sera sorti devant toi pour frapper l’armée des Philistins.
25 So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
Et David fit ainsi, comme l’Éternel lui avait commandé; et il frappa les Philistins depuis Guéba jusqu’à ce que tu viennes vers Guézer.
