2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab son of Zeruial knoweth that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom,
Alò Joab, fis a Tseruja a te vin apèsi ke kè David te apiye anvè Absalom.
2 and Joab sendeth to Tekoah, and taketh thence a wise woman, and saith unto her, 'Feign thyself a mourner, I pray thee, and put on, I pray thee, garments of mourning, and anoint not thyself with oil, and thou hast been as a woman these many days mourning for the dead,
Pou sa, Joab te voye kote Tekoa e te fè rive yon fanm avèk sajès soti la. Li te di li: “Souple, fè kòmsi se yon moun ki andèy. Mete sou ou vètman andèy depi koulye a. Pa onksyone ou avèk lwil, men fè tankou yon fanm ki te deja andèy pou mò a soti anpil jou.
3 and thou hast gone unto the king, and spoken unto him, according to this word;' and Joab putteth the words into her mouth.
Apre, ale kote wa a, e pale avèk li konsa”. Epi Joab te mete pawòl nan bouch li pou pale.
4 And the woman of Tekoah speaketh unto the king, and falleth on her face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith, 'Save, O king.'
Alò, lè fanm a Tekoa a te pale a wa a, li te vin tonbe sou figi li e te kouche atè nèt, Li te di: “Sekou, O wa.”
5 And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee?' and she saith, 'Truly a widow woman [am] I, and my husband dieth,
Wa a te di li: “Ki pwoblèm ou?” Li te reponn: “Anverite, se yon vèv ke mwen ye, paske mari mwen mouri.
6 and thy maid-servant hath two sons; and they strive both of them in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and the one smiteth the other, and putteth him to death;
Sèvant ou an gen de fis. Men yo de te goumen nan chan an e yo pa t gen pèsòn pou separe yo. Konsa, youn te frape lòt e te touye li.
7 and lo, the whole family hath risen against thy maid-servant, and say, Give up him who smiteth his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he hath slain, and we destroy also the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left — so as not to set to my husband a name and remnant on the face of the ground.'
Koulye a, gade byen, tout fanmi an gen tan leve kont sèvant ou an. Y ap mande m lonje ba yo sila ki te frape frè li a, pou nou kab mete li a lanmò pou lavi a frè l ke li te touye a, e vin detwi eritye a tou. Konsa, yo va etenn sèl chabon limen ki rete a, pou kite mari mwen san non, san rès sou fas tè a.”
8 And the king saith unto the woman, 'Go to thine house, and I give charge concerning thee.'
Alò, wa a te di a fanm nan: “Ale lakay ou e mwen va bay lòd pou ou menm.”
9 And the woman of Tekoah saith unto the king, 'On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent.'
Fanm Tekoa a te di wa a: “O mèt mwen, wa a, inikite a sou mwen avèk lakay papa m; men kite wa a avèk twòn li an pa koupab.”
10 And the king saith, 'He who speaketh [aught] unto thee, and thou hast brought him unto me, then he doth not add any more to come against thee.'
Konsa, wa a te di: “Nenpòt moun ki pale avè w, mennen li bò kote m e li p ap touche ou ankò.”
11 And she saith, 'Let, I pray thee, the king remember by Jehovah thy God, that the redeemer of blood add not to destroy, and they destroy not my son;' and he saith, 'Jehovah liveth; if there doth fall of the hair of thy son to the earth.'
Alò, li te di: “Souple, kite wa a sonje SENYÈ a, pou vanjè san an pa kontinye detwi, sof ke sa, y ap detwi fis mwen an.” Epi li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, nanpwen menm yon grenn cheve a fis ou a k ap tonbe atè.”
12 And the woman saith, 'Let, I pray thee, thy maid-servant speak unto my lord the king a word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
Alò, fanm nan te di: “Souple kite sèvant ou an pale yon mo ak mèt mwen, wa a.” Li te di: “Pale”.
13 And the woman saith, 'And why hast thou thought thus concerning the people of God? yea, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king hath not brought back his outcast;
Fanm nan te di: “Alò, poukisa ou te fè yon move plan konsa kont pèp Bondye a? Paske nan pale pawòl sila a, se wa a ki koupab, kòmsi wa a pa mennen retounen sila li te ekzile a.
14 for we do surely die, and [are] as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God doth not accept a person, and hath devised devices in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
Paske anverite, nou va mouri. Se tankou dlo ki gaspiye atè e ki p ap kab ranmase ankò. Men Bondye pa retire lavi, men toujou fè plan pou sila ki ekzile a pa vin jete deyò nèt de Li menm.”
15 'And now that I have come to speak unto the king my lord this word, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and thy maid-servant saith, Let me speak, I pray thee, unto the king; it may be the king doth do the word of his handmaid,
Alò, rezon pou sila ke m vini pou pale pawòl sa a de mèt mwen an, wa a, se ke pèp la te fè m pè; pou sa sèvant pa ou a te di a: ‘Kite mwen pale avèk wa a. Petèt wa a va akonpli demann lan a sèvant li an.’
16 for the king doth hearken to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,
Paske wa a va tande e delivre sèvant li an soti nan men a nonm ki ta detwi ni mwen, ni fis mwen an sou eritaj Bondye a.
17 and thy maid-servant saith, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is] my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and Jehovah thy God is with thee.'
Alò, sèvant ou an te di: ‘Souple kite pawòl a mèt mwen an, wa a, vin rekonfòte mwen, paske tankou zanj Bondye a, se konsa mèt mwen an, wa a, ye pou distenge sa ki bon avèk sa ki mal. Epi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye pa ou a, kapab avèk ou.’”
18 And the king answereth and saith unto the woman, 'Do not, I pray thee, hide from me the thing that I am asking thee;' and the woman saith, 'Let, I pray thee, my lord the king speak.'
Wa a te reponn e te di a fanm nan: “Souple, pa kache pou mwen anyen ke m prè pou mande ou la a.” Epi fanm nan te di: “Kite mèt mwen an, wa a, pale, souple.”
19 And the king saith, 'Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this?' And the woman answereth and saith, 'Thy soul liveth, my lord, O king, none [doth turn] to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab he commanded me, and he put in the mouth of thy maid-servant all these words;
Alò, wa a te reponn e te di: “Èske men Joab mele avèk ou nan tout sa?” Epi fanm nan te reponn: “Jan nanm ou viv la, mèt mwen an, wa a, pèsòn pa kab vire ni adwat ni agoch nan anyen ke mèt mwen an, wa a, te pale a. Anverite, se te sèvitè ou a, Joab ki te kòmande mwen. Epi se te li ki te mete tout pawòl sa yo nan bouch sèvant ou an,
20 in order to bring round the appearance of the thing hath thy servant Joab done this thing, and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that [is] in the land.'
pou l te kab chanje aparans a bagay yo, sèvitè Joab la te fè bagay sa a. Men mèt mwen an saj, tankou sajès a zanj Bondye a, pou konnen tout sa ki sou tè a.”
21 And the king saith unto Joab, 'Lo, I pray thee, thou hast done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.'
Alò, wa a te di Joab: “Gade byen, anverite, mwen va fè bagay sa a. Pou sa, ale mennen fè tounen jennonm nan, Absalom.”
22 And Joab falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and blesseth the king, and Joab saith, 'To-day hath thy servant known that I have found grace in thine eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king hath done the word of his servant.'
Joab te tonbe figi atè, kouche nèt e te beni wa a. Epi Joab te di: “Jodi a, sèvitè ou konnen ke li twouve favè nan zye ou, O mèt mwen, wa a, akoz wa a te akonpli demann lan a sèvitè li a.”
23 And Joab riseth and goeth to Geshur, and bringeth in Absalom to Jerusalem,
Konsa, Joab te leve ale Gueschur pou te mennen Absalom Jérusalem.
24 and the king saith, 'Let him turn round unto his house, and my face he doth not see.' And Absalom turneth round unto his house, and the face of the king he hath not seen.
Men wa a te di: “Pa kite li wè figi mwen.” Konsa, Absalom te vire kote pwòp lakay pa li, e li pa t wè figi a wa a.
25 And like Absalom there was no man [so] fair in all Israel, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even unto his crown there was no blemish in him;
Alò, nan tout Israël, pa t gen lòt moun ki te pi bo ke Absalom, ki te resevwa lwanj tankou li. Soti nan talon pye li jis rive anwo tèt li, pa t gen defo menm.
26 and in his polling his head — and it hath been at the end of year by year that he polleth [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he hath polled it — he hath even weighed out the hair of his head — two hundred shekels by the king's weight.
Lè l te konn taye cheve li (ki te fèt nan fen chak ane ke li te koupe li; paske li te lou sou li e pou sa, li te koupe l), li te peze cheve a tèt li nan pèz de-san sik selon balans a wa a.
27 And there are born to Absalom three sons, and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of a fair appearance.
Pou Absalom te ne twa fis ak yon fi ki te rele Tamar. Se te yon fanm ki te byen bèl.
28 And Absalom dwelleth in Jerusalem two years of days, and the face of the king he hath not seen;
Alò, Absalom te viv pandan dezan konplè Jérusalem e pa t wè figi a wa a.
29 and Absalom sendeth unto Joab, to send him unto the king, and he hath not been willing to come unto him; and he sendeth again a second time, and he hath not been willing to come.
Apre, Absalom te voye dèyè Joab, pou l ta voye li kote wa a, men Joab te refize vin kote li. Konsa, li te voye ankò yon dezyèm fwa, men li pa t vini.
30 And he saith unto his servants, 'See, the portion of Joab [is] by the side of mine, and he hath barley there; go, and burn it with fire;' and the servants of Absalom burn the portion with fire.
Pou sa, li te pale a sèvitè yo pa li menm: “Gade, chan Joab la akote pa m nan ki gen sereyal lòj. Ale mete dife ladann”. Konsa sèvitè Absalom yo te mete dife nan chan an.
31 And Joab riseth and cometh unto Absalom in the house, and saith unto him, 'Why have thy servants burned the portion that I have with fire?'
Alò, Joab te leve rive kote Absalom lakay li a. Li te di li: “Poukisa sèvitè ou yo te lage dife nan chan mwen an?”
32 And Absalom saith unto Joab, 'Lo, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, and I send thee unto the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur? — good for me while I [am] there — and now, let me see the king's face, and if there is in me iniquity then thou hast put me to death.'
Absalom te reponn Joab: “Gade, mwen te voye dèyè ou, e mwen te di: ‘Vin isit la pou m kab voye ou kote wa a pou mande l: “Poukisa mwen te kite Gueschur? Li ta pi bon pou mwen si m te toujou la.”’ Pou sa, kite mwen wè figi a wa a, e si gen inikite nan mwen, kite li mete m a lanmò.”
33 And Joab cometh unto the king, and declareth [it] to him, and he calleth unto Absalom, and he cometh unto the king, and boweth himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the king, and the king giveth a kiss to Absalom.
Konsa, lè Joab te rive kote wa a e te pale li, li te rele Absalom. Konsa, li te rive a wa a e te bese li ba avèk figi li atè devan wa a e wa a te bo Absalom.
