1 Chronicles 19
1 And it cometh to pass after this, that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon dieth, and his son reigneth in his stead,
Apre sa, Nakach, wa lavil Amon, mouri. Se pitit gason li ki moute wa nan plas li.
2 and David saith, 'I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, for his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David come in unto the land of the sons of Ammon, unto Hanun, to comfort him,
David di: -Se pou m' aji byen ak Anoun, pitit Nakach la, paske papa l' te boule byen avè m'. Se konsa, David voye mesaje al di Anoun jan sa te fè l' lapenn lè l' pran nouvèl lanmò papa l'. Mesaje David yo rive lakay Anoun nan peyi moun Amon yo pou konsole l'.
3 and the heads of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun, 'Is David honouring thy father, in thine eyes, because he hath sent to thee comforters? in order to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out, the land, have not his servants come in unto thee?'
Men, chèf moun Amon yo di Anoun konsa: -Pa konprann se sèlman pou lanmò papa ou la kifè David voye mesaje sa yo bò kote ou pou konsole ou. Wete sa nan tèt ou. Li voye yo isit la pou yo wè jan lavil la ye, pou yo gade byen sa k'ap pase nan lavil la. Konsa, pita li ka vin pran lavil la nan men nou.
4 And Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth them, and cutteth their long robes in the midst, unto the buttocks, and sendeth them away.
Sa Anoun fè lè sa a, li pran moun David te voye yo, li raze tout yon bò nan bab yo, li koupe anba rad yo ra dèyè yo, li voye yo tounen.
5 And [some] go, and declare to David concerning the men, and he sendeth to meet them — for the men have been greatly ashamed — and the king saith, 'Dwell in Jericho till that your beard is grown, then ye have returned.'
Mesye yo te wont anpil pou yo te tounen lakay yo konsa. Lè David vin konn sa ki te rive yo, li voye di yo rete lavil Jeriko, y'a tounen lakay yo lè bab yo va pouse ankò.
6 And the sons of Ammon see that they have made themselves abhorred by David, and Hanun and the sons of Ammon send a thousand talents of silver, to hire to them, from Aram-Naharaim, and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen;
Wa Anoun ak moun Amon yo vin konprann yo te fè David fache. Yo pran mil pyès ajan, yo voye chache sòlda, cha lagè, ak kavalye kay moun Aram yo lavil Narayim, lavil Maka ak lavil Zoba pou vin goumen pou yo.
7 and they hire to them two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, and they come in and encamp before Medeba, and the sons of Ammon have been gathered out of their cities, and come in to the battle.
Se konsa yo lwe sèvis tranndemil (32.000) cha lagè ki vin kanpe devan lavil Medeba ansanm ak wa lavil Maka a ak tout lame li a. Moun peyi Amon yo kite lavil yo, yo reyini ansanm pou pare pou batay la.
8 And David heareth, and sendeth Joab, and all the host of the mighty men,
David vin konnen sa. Li voye Joab ak tout lame vanyan sòlda li yo al kontre yo.
9 and the sons of Ammon come out and set battle in array at the opening of the city, and the kings who have come [are] by themselves in the field.
Moun Amon yo soti, y' al pran pozisyon devan pòtay lavil la. Wa ki te vin ede yo bò pa yo pran pozisyon nan plenn lan.
10 And Joab seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto him, before and behind, and he chooseth out of all the choice in Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram,
Joab te wè lame lènmi yo te ka atake l' ni sou devan, ni sou dèyè. Sa l' fè, li chwazi pi bon sòlda nan lame pèp Izrayèl la, li mete yo an pozisyon devan lame moun Aram yo.
11 and the remnant of the people he hath given into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set in array to meet the sons of Ammon.
Lèfini, li mete Abichayi, frè l' la, alatèt rès lame a. Li fè yo pran pozisyon devan moun Amon yo.
12 And he saith, 'If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast been to me for salvation; and if the sons of Ammon be stronger than thou, then I have saved thee;
Joab di Abichayi konsa: -Si nou wè moun Aram yo soti pou yo bat mwen, w'a vin ede m'. Konsa tou, si mwen wè moun Amon yo vle pi fò pase ou, m'a vin ede ou.
13 be strong, and we strengthen ourselves, for our people, and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth that which is good in His eyes.'
Mete gason sou nou. Kouraj! Nou pral goumen rèd mare pou pèp nou an ak pou lavil Bondye nou an. Bondye va fè sa li vle li menm.
14 And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him, before Aram to battle, and they flee from his face;
Joab ak sòlda ki te avè l' yo mache sou moun Aram yo. Moun Aram yo kouri pou li.
15 and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they flee — they also — from the face of Abishai his brother, and go in to the city. And Joab cometh in to Jerusalem.
Lè moun peyi Amon yo wè moun Aram yo kouri ale, yo kouri tou pou Abichayi, frè Joab la, yo antre nan lavil la. Lè sa a, Joab tounen tounen l' lavil Jerizalèm.
16 And Aram seeth that they have been smitten before Israel, and send messengers, and bring out Aram that [is] beyond the River, and Shophach head of the host of Hadarezer [is] before them.
Lè moun Aram yo wè moun Izrayèl yo te bat yo, yo voye yon mesaj bay moun Aram ki te lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la, pou yo pare vin goumen pou yo. Yo reyini lavil Elam. Se Chofak, chèf lame Adadezè a, ki te alatèt yo.
17 And it is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel, and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in unto them, and setteth in array against them; yea, David setteth in array the battle to meet Aram, and they fight with him;
Lè David vin konn sa, li sanble tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden, li mache sou yo, li pran pozisyon devan yo. David ranje sòlda li yo pou li goumen ak moun Aram yo. Epi batay la konmanse.
18 and Aram fleeth from the face of Israel, and David slayeth of Aram seven thousand charioteers, and forty thousand footmen, and Shophach head of the host he hath put to death.
Moun Izrayèl yo fè moun Aram yo kouri met deyò. David ak sòlda li yo touye sòlda ki te sou sètmil (7.000) cha lagè ak karantmil (40.000) sòlda ki te apye. Yo touye Chofak, chèf lame lènmi an.
19 And the servants of Hadarezer see that they have been smitten before Israel, and they make peace with David and serve him, and Aram hath not been willing to help the sons of Ammon any more.
Lè moun ki te avek Adadezè yo wè jan moun Izrayèl yo te bat yo, yo fè lapè ak David. Yo soumèt devan li. Se konsa, moun Aram yo pa t' vle vin pote moun Amon yo sekou ankò.
