1 Chroniques 14
1 Hiram, roi de Tyr, envoya aussi des messagers à David, et des bois de cèdre, et des maçons, et des charpentiers, pour lui bâtir une maison.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. They built a house for him.
2 Et David reconnut que le Seigneur l’avait confirmé roi sur Israël, et qu’il avait élevé son royaume sur son peuple Israël.
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted on high for the sake of his people Israel.
3 Il prit encore d’autres femmes à Jérusalem, et il engendra des fils et des filles.
In Jerusalem, David took more wives, and he became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Or voici les noms de ceux qui lui naquirent à Jérusalem: Samua et Sobad, Nathan et Salomon,
These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Jébahar, Elisua, et Eliphalet,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Noga aussi, et Napheg et Japhia,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elisama, Baaliada et Eliphalet.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Or les Philistins, apprenant que David avait été oint comme roi sur tout Israël, montèrent tous pour le chercher: ce qu’ayant appris David, il sortit au-devant d’eux.
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went out against them.
9 Cependant les Philistins, venant, se répandirent dans la vallée de Raphaïm.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the Valley of Rephaim.
10 Alors David consulta le Seigneur, disant: Monterai-je contre les Philistins, et les livrerez-vous en ma main? Et le Seigneur lui répondit: Monte, et je les livrerai en ta main.
Then David asked for help from God. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to him, “Attack, for I will certainly give them to you.”
11 Lors donc que ceux-ci eurent monté à Baalpharasim, David les battit là, et dit: Le Seigneur a dispersé mes ennemis par ma main, comme les eaux se dispersent: et c’est pourquoi ce lieu fut appelé Baalpharasim.
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “God has burst through my enemies by my hand like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
12 Et les Philistins laissèrent là leurs dieux, et David commanda qu’ils fussent brûlés.
The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David gave an order that they should be burned.
13 Les Philistins firent encore une autre fois irruption, et se répandirent dans la vallée.
Then the Philistines raided the valley yet again.
14 Et David consulta Dieu de nouveau; et Dieu lui dit: Ne monte pas après eux, mais éloigne-toi d’eux; et tu viendras contre eux, vis-à-vis des poiriers.
So David asked for help from God again. God said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
15 Et lorsque tu entendras le bruit de quelqu’un qui marche au haut des poiriers, alors tu sortiras pour la bataille; car Dieu sortira devant toi pour battre le camp des Philistins.
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because God will have gone out before you to attack the army of the Philistines.”
16 David fit donc comme Dieu lui avait ordonné; et il battit le camp des Philistins, depuis Gabaon jusqu’à Gazer.
So David did as God had commanded him. He defeated the army of the Philistines from Gibeon all the way to Gezer.
17 Ainsi le nom de David se répandit dans toutes les contrées, et le Seigneur inspira la terreur de ce prince à toutes les nations.
Then David's fame went out into all lands, and Yahweh caused all nations to fear him.
