2 Samuel 21
1 There was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the LORD. The LORD said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
Alò, te gen yon gwo grangou nan jou a David yo pandan twazan, ane apre ane. Epi David te chache prezans a SENYÈ a. SENYÈ a te di: “Se akoz Saül ak kay sanglan li an, akoz li te mete Gabawonit yo a lanmò.”
2 The king called the Gibeonites and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);
Pou sa, wa a te rele Gabawonit yo pou te pale yo. (Alò, Gabawonit yo pa t nan fis Israël yo men yo te nan retay Amoreyen yo e fis Israël yo te fè yon akò avèk yo. Men Saül te chache touye yo nan zèl li genyen pou fis a Juda yo avèk Israël yo.)
3 and David said to the Gibeonites, “What should I do for you? And with what should I make atonement, that you may bless the LORD’s inheritance?”
Konsa, David te di a Gabawonit yo: “Kisa mwen ta dwe fè pou nou? Epi kijan mwen kapab fè ekspiyasyon, pou nou kapab vin beni eritaj SENYÈ a?”
4 The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “I will do for you whatever you say.”
Alò, Gabawonit yo te di li: “Nou pa sou afè ajan, ni lò avèk Saül, ni lakay li, ni pou nou ta mete okenn moun a lanmò an Israël.” Epi li te di: “Mwen va fè pou nou nenpòt sa ke nou mande.”
5 They said to the king, “The man who consumed us and who plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
Pou sa, yo te di a wa a: “Nonm ki te vin manje nou an e ki te fè plan pou detwi nou nèt la rache nou soti nan lizyè Israël la,
6 let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” The king said, “I will give them.”
kite sèt mesye soti nan fis li yo vin bay a nou menm. E nou va pann yo devan SENYÈ a nan Guibea pou Saül, sila ki te chwazi pa SENYÈ a.” Epi wa a te di: “Mwen va bay yo.”
7 But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
Men wa a te bay pwotèj a Méphiboscheth, fis a Jonathan an, fis a Saül la, akoz sèman a SENYÈ a ki te fèt antre yo, antre David ak fis a Saül la, Jonathan.
8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
Konsa, wa a te pran de fis a Ritspa yo avèk fi a Ajja a, Armoni ak Méphiboscheth ke li te fè pou Saül la, senk fis a Mérab yo, fi a Saül la, ke li te fè pou Adriel, fis a Barzillaï a, Meyolayit la;
9 He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites; and they hanged them on the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
Epi li te livre yo nan men a Gabawonit yo e yo te pandye yo nan mòn nan devan SENYÈ a, jiskaske yo sèt te tonbe ansanm. Yo te mete a lanmò nan premye jou a rekòlt la, nan kòmansman rekòlt lòj la.
10 Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.
Epi Rizpa, fi a Ajja a te pran twal sak e te ouvri li sou wòch la, soti nan kòmansman rekòlt la jiskaske li te fè lapli sou yo soti nan syèl la. Li pa t kite ni zwazo syèl yo vin poze sou yo nan lajounen, ni bèt chan yo pandan lannwit.
11 David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Lè li te pale a David sa ke Rizpa, fi a Ajja a, ti mennaj a Saül la te fè a,
12 So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;
alò, David te ale pran zo a Saül ak zo a Jonathan, fis li a soti nan men a mesye Jabès-Galaad la, ki te vòlè yo nan laplas Beth-Schan kote Filisten yo te pandye yo nan jou ke Filisten yo te frape Saül nan Guilboa a.
13 and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. They also gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
Li te mennen zo a Saül ak zo a Jonathan yo monte, fis li soti la e yo te ranmase zo a sila ki te pandye yo.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father; and they performed all that the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer for the land.
Yo te antere zo a Saül yo avèk Jonathan, fis li nan peyi Benjamin nan Tséla, nan tonm a Kis, papa li. Konsa, yo te fè tout sa ke wa a te kòmande yo. Apre sa, Bondye te satisfè akoz lapriyè pou peyi a.
15 The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;
Alò, lè Filisten yo te fè lagè ankò avèk Israël, David te desann avèk sèvitè li yo. Epi pandan yo t ap goumen kont Filisten yo, David te vin bouke.
16 and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought he would kill David.
Epi Jischbi-Benob ki te pami desandan a jeyan yo, avèk yon lans ki te peze twa-san sik an bwonz, te gen yon nepe nèf nan senti l e li te gen entansyon pou l ta touye David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “Don’t go out with us to battle any more, so that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”
Men Abischaï, fis a Tseruja a te ede li, li te frape Filisten an pou te touye li. Epi mesye David yo te fè ve a li e te di: “Wa David, ou p ap sòti avèk nou ankò nan batay la pou ou pa vin etenn lanp Israël la.”
18 After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
Alò, li te vin rive apre sa ke te gen lagè ankò avèk Filisten yo nan Gob. Epi Sibbecaï, Oushatit la te frape Saph, ki te pami desandan a jeyan yo.
19 There was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
Te gen gè avèk Filisten yo ankò Gob e Elchanan, fis a Jaaré-Oreguim nan Bethléhem te touye Goliath, moun Gath la. Shaf lans li an te tankou travès lan a yon machin yo konn tise.
20 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
Te gen lagè avèk Gath ankò, kote te gen yon mesye gran tay avèk sis dwèt nan chak men ak sis zòtèy nan chak pye, venn-kat antou. Li menm osi te ne de jeyan yo.
21 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.
Lè li te leve tèt li kont Israël, Jonathan, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te frape li.
22 These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
Se kat sila yo ki te ne de jeyan nan Gath yo, e yo te tonbe pa men David e pa men a sèvitè li yo.
