< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 After this, the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
Li te vin rive apre ke wa a Amoreyen an te mouri e Hanun, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
2 David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Konsa, David te di: “Mwen va montre bòn volonte mwen a Hanun, fis a Nachasch la, jis jan ke papa li te montre m bòn volonte a.” Konsa, David te voye kèk nan sèvitè li yo pou konsole li konsènan papa li. Konsa, sèvitè a David yo te rive nan peyi Amonit yo.
3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn’t David sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?”
Men prens a Amonit yo te di a Hanun, mèt pa yo a: “Èske ou kwè ke David ap onore papa ou akoz li te voye moun konsole ou? Èske David pa t pito voye sèvitè li yo kote ou pou fè ankèt vil la, pou espyone ak boulvèse li?”
4 So Hanun took David’s servants, shaved off one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Konsa, Hanun te pran sèvitè a David yo, li te pase razwa sou mwatye bab yo, li te koupe manto yo jis rive nan mitan kote kwis yo, e li te voye yo ale.
5 When they told David this, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”
Lè yo te pale David sa, li te voye rankontre yo, paske mesye yo te imilye anpil. Epi wa a te di: “Rete Jéricho jiskaske bab nou vin pouse e konsa, retounen.”
6 When the children of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
Alò, lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke yo te vin rayisab devan David, fis a Ammon yo te voye anplwaye Siryen yo Beth-Rehob e Siryen yo a Tsoba, ven-mil sòlda a pye, wa Macca avèk mil lòm e mesye a Tob yo avèk douz-mil lòm.
7 When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.
Lè David te tande sa, li te voye Joab avèk tout lame mesye vanyan yo.
8 The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate. The Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
Fis a Ammon yo te vin parèt. Yo te ranje yo nan chan batay la devan antre vil la, pandan Siryen a Tsoba yo avèk Rehob, mesye a Tob yo avèk Maaca pou kont yo te nan chan an.
9 Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians.
Alò, lè Joab te wè ke batay la te ranje kont li pa devan kon pa dèyè, li te seleksyone pami mesye pi chwazi an Israël yo pou te ranje yo kont Siryen yo.
10 The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
Men rès nan pèp la, li te plase yo nan men Abischaï, frè li a e li te ranje yo kont fis Ammon yo.
11 He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
Li te di: “Si Siryen yo twò fò pou mwen, alò, ou va ban m sekou; men si fis a Ammon yo twò fò pou ou, alò, mwen va vin ede ou.
12 Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what seems good to him.”
Pran kouraj e kite nou parèt ak tout fòs nou pou koz a pèp nou an e pou vil Bondye pa nou an. Ke SENYÈ a kapab fè sa ki bon nan zye Li.”
13 So Joab and the people who were with him came near to the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.
Konsa, Joab avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te rapwoche nan batay la kont Siryen yo e yo te sove ale devan yo.
14 When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke Siryen yo te sove ale, yo osi te sove ale devan Abischaï e te antre nan vil la. Alò, Joab te retounen sispann goumen kont fis a Ammon yo pou te rive kote Jérusalem.
15 When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Lè Siryen yo te wè ke yo te fin bat pa Israël, yo te vin rasanble ansanm.
16 Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River; and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
Epi Hadarézer te voye chache Siryen ki te pi lwen Rivyè Euphrate la pou yo te vini Hélam. Schobac, Kòmandan a lame a Hadarézer a te sou tèt yo.
17 David was told that; and he gathered all Israel together, passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Syrians set themselves in array against David and fought with him.
Alò, lè sa te pale a David, li te rasanble tout Israël ansanm e te travèse Jourdain an pou te rive vè Hélam. Konsa, Siryen yo te alinye yo pou rankontre David e te goumen kont li.
18 The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers of the Syrians and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.
Men Siryen yo te sove ale devan Israël. David te touye sèt-san mèt a cha Siryen, karant-mil chevalye e te frape fè desann Schobac, kòmandan lame pa yo a, e li te mouri la.
19 When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
Lè tout wa yo, sèvitè a Hadarézer yo te wè ke yo te pèdi devan Israël, yo te fè lapè avèk Israël pou te sèvi yo. Konsa, Siryen yo te vin gen krent pou ede fis a Ammon yo ankò.
