< 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,
Alò, li te vin rive apre sa, ke Nachasch, wa a fis a Ammon yo te mouri e fis li a te devni 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,
Epi David te di: “Mwen va montre favè a Hanun, fis a Nachasch la, akoz papa li te montre m favè.” Pou sa, David te voye mesaje pou konsole li selon lanmò papa li. Sèvitè David yo te antre nan peye fis a Ammon yo pou konsole Hanun.
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 a fis a Ammon yo te di a Hanun: “Èske ou kwè ke David ap bay papa ou onè akoz li voye moun rekonfòte yo? Èske sèvitè li yo pa vin kote ou pou chèche fè espyonaj pou boulvèse peyi a?”
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.
Epi Hanun te pran sèvitè David yo e te taye tout cheve yo, koupe vètman yo nan mitan jis rive nan kwis e te voye yo ale.
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.'
Alò, kèk moun te ale pale David konsènan afè mesye yo. Epi li te voye rankontre yo, paske mesye sa yo te byen wont. Epi wa a te di: “Rete Jéricho jiskaske bab nou vin grandi ankò e retounen.”
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;
Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke yo te fè tèt yo rayisab a David, Hanun avèk fis a Ammon yo te voye mil talan ajan Mésopotamie pou achte sèvis a cha avèk chevalye Siryen ki te sòti nan Maaca avèk Tsoba.
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.
Konsa, yo te achte sèvis a trann-de-mil cha e wa Maaca a avèk pèp li a, ki te vin fè kan devan Médeba a. Fis a Ammon yo te rasanble soti nan vil pa yo pou te vin batay.
8 And David heareth, and sendeth Joab, and all the host of the mighty men,
Lè David tande sa, li te voye Joab avèk tout lame, mesye pwisan 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.
Fis a Ammon yo te vin parèt, te rale yo nan chan batay la nan antre vil la e wa ki te vini yo te la apa pou kont yo nan chan an.
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,
Alò, lè Joab te wè ke batay la te prepare kont li ni devan, ni dèyè; li te chwazi soti nan mesye pi chwazi pami tout Israël yo e yo te alinye yo kont Siryen 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.
Men retay a pèp la, li te plase nan men Abischaï, frè li a; epi yo te alinye yo kont fis Ammon 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;
Li te di: “Si Siryen yo twò fò pou mwen, alò ou va ede m; men si fis a Ammon twò fò pou ou; alò, mwen va 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.'
Kenbe fèm e annou montre kouraj nou pou koz pèp nou ak pou vil Bondye pa nou yo. Epi ke SENYÈ a va fè sa ki bon nan zye li.”
14 And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him, before Aram to battle, and they flee from his face;
Konsa, Joab avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te ale toupre batay la kont Siryen yo e yo te sove ale devan 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 fis a Ammon yo te wè ke Siryen yo te sove ale, yo te sove ale osi devan Abischaï, frè li a e te antre lavil la. Epi Joab te vini Jérusalem.
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 Siryen yo te wè ke yo te bat pa Israël, yo te voye mesaje pou te mennen fè sòti Siryen ki te lòtbò Rivyè a, avèk Schophach, chèf lame Hadarézer ki t ap dirije yo a.
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 bagay sa a te pale a David, li te ranmase tout Israël ansanm, te travèse Jourdain an, te vin parèt sou yo e te rale nan fòmasyon batay kont yo a. Epi lè David te rale nan fòmasyon batay la kont Siryen yo, yo te goumen kont li.
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.
Siryen yo te sove ale devan Israël e David te touye nan Siryen yo, sèt-mil mèt cha avèk karant-mil sòlda a pye e te mete a lanmò Schophach, chèf lame a.
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.
Konsa, lè sèvitè a Hadarézer yo te wè ke yo te fin bat pa Israël, yo te fè lapè avèk David e te sèvi li. Konsa, Siryen yo pa t janm dakò ankò pou ede fis a Ammon yo.
