2 Samuel 2
1 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that David asketh at Jehovah, saying, 'Do I go up into one of the cities of Judah?' and Jehovah saith unto him, 'Go up.' And David saith, 'Whither do I go up?' and He saith, 'To Hebron.'
Alò, li te vin rive apre, ke David te fè demand a SENYÈ a, e te di: “Èske Mwen dwe monte nan youn nan vil Juda yo?” Epi SENYÈ a te di li: “Monte!” Konsa David te di: “Se kibò pou m ta monte?” Epi Li te di: “Nan Hébron.”
2 And David goeth up thither, and also his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite;
Pou sa, David te monte la ansanm akde madanm li yo tou, Achinoam, Jizreyelit la, avèk Abigaïl, Kamelit la, fanm a Nabal la.
3 and his men who [are] with him hath David brought up — a man and his household — and they dwell in the cities of Hebron.
Epi David te fè monte mesye ki te avèk li yo, yo chak avèk pwòp lakay pa yo, e yo te rete nan vil Hébron yo.
4 And the men of Judah come, and anoint there David for king over the house of Judah; and they declare to David, saying, 'The men of Jabesh-Gilead [are] they who buried Saul.'
Alò, mesye Juda yo te parèt e se la, yo te onksyone David wa sou kay Juda a. Epi yo te pale David, e te di: “Se te mesye a Jabés Galaad ki te antere Saül yo.”
5 And David sendeth messengers unto the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and saith unto them, 'Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, in that ye have done this kindness with your lord, with Saul, that ye bury him.
David te voye mesaje yo bò kote mesye Jabés Galaad yo. Li te di yo: “Ke nou beni pa SENYÈ a akoz nou te montre bonte nou anvè Saül, mèt nou an, e nou te antere li.
6 'And, now, Jehovah doth with you kindness and truth, and also, I do with you this good because ye have done this thing;
Alò, ke SENYÈ a montre bonte avèk verite Li a nou menm. Konsa, mwen tou, mwen va montre nou bonte sa a akoz nou te fè bagay sa a.
7 and now, are your hands strong, and be ye for sons of valour, for your lord Saul. [is] dead, and also — me have the house of Judah anointed for king over them.'
Pou sa, kite men nou rete fò e plen kouraj. Paske mèt nou an, Saül mouri e anplis, kay Juda a te onksyone mwen kòm wa sou yo menm”.
8 And Abner, son of Ner, head of the host which Saul hath, hath taken Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, and causeth him to pass over to Mahanaim,
Men Abner, fis a Ner a, te pran Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la e te mennen li antre Mahanaïm.
9 and causeth him to reign over Gilead, and over the Ashurite, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over Israel — all of it.
Li te fè li wa sou Galaad, sou Gechouryen yo, sou Jizreel, sou Ephraïm ak sou Benjamin, menm sou tout Israël la.
10 A son of forty years, [is] Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, in his reigning over Israel, and two years he hath reigned, only the house of Judah have been after David.
Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la te gen karant ane lè l te devni wa sou Israël, e li te wa pandan dezan. Men, lakay Juda te swiv David.
11 And the number of the days that David hath been king in Hebron, over the house of Judah, is seven years and six months.
Fòs tan ke David te wa nan Hébron sou Juda a se te sèt ane avèk si mwa.
12 And Abner son of Ner goeth out, and servants of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Alò, Abner, fis a Ner a te sòti Mahanaïm kote Gabaon avèk sèvitè a Isch-Boscheth yo, fis a Saül la.
13 And Joab son of Zeruiah, and servants of David, have gone out, and they meet by the pool of Gibeon together, and sit down, these by the pool on this [side], and these by the pool on that.
Konsa, Joab, fis a Tseruja a avèk sèvitè a David yo te sòti pou rankontre yo akote sous Gabaon an. Yo te chita konsa, youn nan yon bò sous la e lòt la nan lòtbò sous la.
14 And Abner saith unto Joab, 'Let the youths rise, I pray thee, and they play before us;' and Joab saith, 'Let them rise.'
Abner te di a Joab: “Alò, kite jennonm yo leve fè yon kou batay devan nou la a.” Joab te reponn: “Kite yo leve.”
15 And they rise and pass over, in number twelve of Benjamin, even of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Konsa, yo te leve travèse ak kontwòl, douz pou Benjamin avèk Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül yo e douz pou sèvitè a David yo.
16 And they lay hold, each on the head of his companion, and his sword [is] in the side of his companion, and they fall together, and [one] calleth that place Helkath-Hazzurim, which [is] in Gibeon,
Chak te sezi advèsè li nan tèt e te fonse nepe li nan akote advèsè li a; konsa, yo te tonbe atè ansanm. Pou sa, yo te rele plas sa a Helkath-Hatsurim chanm a lam nepe yo ki nan Gabaon.
17 and the battle is very hard on that day, and Abner is smitten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
Nan jou sa a, batay la te trè sevè e Abner avèk mesye Israël yo te kale devan sèvitè David yo.
18 And there are there three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel, and Asahel [is] light on his feet, as one of the roes which [are] in the field,
Alò, twa fis a Tseruja yo te la, Joab avèk Abschaï avèk Asaël te vit sou pye yo tankou yon gazèl mawon nan chan.
19 And Asahel pursueth after Abner, and hath not turned aside to go to the right or to the left, from after Abner.
Asaël te kouri dèyè Abner e pa t vire ni adwat ni agoch nan kouri dèyè Abner.
20 And Abner looketh behind him, and saith, 'Art thou he — Asahel?' and he saith, 'I [am].'
Alò, Abner te gade dèyè li, e te di: “Èske se ou, Asaël?” Epi li te reponn: “Se mwen.”
21 And Abner saith to him, 'Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and seize for thee one of the youths, and take to thee his armour;' and Asahel hath not been willing to turn aside from after him.
Konsa, Abner te di li: “Vire vè adwat oswa agoch, pran youn nan jennonm yo pou kont ou e pran pou ou menm nan piyaj la.” Men Asaël pa t dakò pou vire pa swiv li.
22 And Abner addeth again, saying unto Asahel, 'Turn thee aside from after me, why do I smite thee to the earth? and how do I lift up my face unto Joab thy brother?'
Abner te repete ankò a Asaël: “Vire pa swiv mwen Poukisa mwen ta frape ou pou jiskaske ou rive atè? Konsa, kijan mwen ta kapab leve figi mwen a frè ou a, Joab?”
23 And he refuseth to turn aside, and Abner smiteth him with the hinder part of the spear unto the fifth [rib], and the spear cometh out from behind him, and he falleth there, and dieth under it; and it cometh to pass, every one who hath come unto the place where Asahel hath fallen and dieth — they stand still.
Sepandan, li te refize vire akote; pou sa, Abner te frape li nan vant avèk frenn li jiskaske li te parèt nan do li Epi li te tonbe la menm e te mouri sou lye a. Epi li te vin rive ke tout moun ki te vini kote Asaël te mouri an, te kanpe an plas.
24 And Joab and Abishai pursue after Abner, and the sun hath gone in, and they have come in unto the height of Ammah, which [is] on the front of Giah, the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Men Joab avèk Abischaï te kouri dèyè Abner e pandan solèy la t ap bese, yo te rive nan ti mòn a Amma a, ki devan Guiach pa chemen dezè a Gabaon an.
25 And the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together after Abner, and become one troop, and stand on the top of a certain height,
Fis Benjamin yo te rasanble ansanm dèyè Abner e te devni yon sèl ekip; epi yo te kanpe sou tèt a yon sèten ti mòn.
26 and Abner calleth unto Joab, and saith, 'For ever doth the sword consume? hast thou not known that it is bitterness in the latter end? and till when dost thou not say to the people to turn back from after their brethren?'
Alò, Abner te rele Joab e te di: “Èske epe a va devore tout tan? Èske ou pa konprann ke alafen, sa ap vin anmè? Pou konbyen de tan ou va refize di pèp la sispann kouri dèyè frè yo?”
27 And Joab saith, 'God liveth! for unless thou hadst spoken, surely then from the morning had the people gone up each from after his brother.'
Joab te di: “Jan Bondye viv la, si ou pa t pale; byensi, pèp la t ap kite sa maten an e chak moun t ap sispann swiv frè yo.”
28 And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and all the people stand still, and pursue no more after Israel, nor have they added any more to fight.
Epi Joab te soufle twonpèt la. Konsa, tout pèp la te sispann e yo pa t kouri dèyè Israël ankò, ni yo pa t kontinye goumen ankò.
29 And Abner and his men have gone through the plain all that night, and pass over the Jordan, and go on [through] all Bithron, and come in to Mahanaim.
Alò, Abner avèk mesye pa li yo te mache nan dezè Araba a tout nwit lan. Yo te travèse Jourdain an, yo te mache tout maten an pou te vini Mahanaïm.
30 And Joab hath turned back from after Abner, and gathereth all the people, and there are lacking of the servants of David nineteen men, and Asahel;
Alò, Joab te retounen soti swiv Abner. Lè li te fin rasanble tout pèp la ansanm, diz-nèf nan sèvitè David yo anplis ke Asaël te manke.
31 and the servants of David have smitten of Benjamin, even among the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men — they died.
Men sèvitè David yo te touye anpil nan mesye Benjamin yo avèk Abner yo, jiskaske te rive twa-san-swasant moun te mouri.
32 And they lift up Asahel, and bury him in the burying-place of his father, which [is] in Beth-Lehem, and they go all the night — Joab and his men — and it is light to them in Hebron.
Yo te pran Asaël e te antere li nan tonm papa li ki te Bethléhem. Epi Joab avèk mesye pa l yo te ale tout nwit lan jiskaske li te vin fè jou kote Hébron.
