1 Chroniques 18
1 Or il arriva après cela que David battit les Philistins et les humilia, qu’il enleva Geth et ses filles de la main des Philistins,
And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.
2 Qu’il battit aussi Moab, et que les Moabites devinrent serviteurs de David, lui offrant des présents.
And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.
3 En ce temps, David battit encore Adarézer, roi de Soba, contrée d’Hémath, lorsqu’il alla pour étendre son empire jusqu’au fleuve d’Euphrate.
Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.
4 David lui prit donc mille quadriges, et sept mille cavaliers, et vingt mille hommes de pied; il coupa les nerfs des jambes à tous les chevaux des chariots, excepté cent quadriges qu’il réserva pour lui.
And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.
5 Or vint encore le Syrien de Damas, pour porter secours à Adarézer, roi de Soba; mais David lui tua aussi vingt-deux mille hommes.
And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.
6 Et il mit des soldats dans Damas, pour que la Syrie aussi lui fût assujettie et offrît des présents. Et le Seigneur l’assista dans tous les lieux où il alla.
Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
7 David prit aussi les carquois d’or qu’avaient les serviteurs d’Adarézer, et il les porta à Jérusalem;
And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.
8 Et, de plus, une grande quantité d’airain de Thébath et de Chun, villes d’Adarézer, avec quoi Salomon fit la mer d’airain, et les colonnes, et les vases d’airain.
And from Tibhath and from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.
9 Or, lorsque Thoü, roi d’Hémath, eut appris que David avait battu toute l’armée d’Adarézer, roi de Soba,
Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10 Il envoya Adoram, son fils, au roi David, pour lui demander la paix, et lui témoigner sa joie de ce qu’il avait battu et vaincu entièrement Adarézer; car Thoü était ennemi d’Adarézer.
He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11 Mais quant à tous les vases d’or, d’argent et d’airain, David, le roi, les consacra au Seigneur avec l’argent et l’or qu’il avait pris sur toutes les nations, tant sur l’Iduméen, Moab et les enfants d’Ammon, que sur les Philistins et Amalec.
These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.
12 De plus, Abisaï, fils de Sarvia, battit Edom dans la vallée des Salines; c’est-à-dire dix-huit mille Iduméens.
And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,
13 Et il établit en Edom une garnison, pour que l’Idumée fût assujettie à David; et le Seigneur conserva David dans tous les lieux où il alla.
David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.
14 David régna donc sur tout Israël, et il rendait des jugements et la justice à tout son peuple.
So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.
15 Mais Joab, fils de Sarvia, commandait l’armée; et Josaphat, fils d’Ahilud, tenait les registres.
And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.
16 Et Sadoc, fils d’Achitob, et Abimélech, fils d’Abiathar, étaient prêtres, et Susa, scribe.
And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;
17 Mais Banaïas, fils de Joïada, commandait les légions des Céréthiens et des Phélétiens; mais les fils de David étaient les premiers auprès du roi.
And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.
