1 Istwa 11
1 Tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon, yo di l' konsa: -Nou se moun menm ras, menm fanmi avè ou.
Then all of Israel was gathered to David at Hebron, saying: “We are your bone and your flesh.
2 Depi lontan, menm sou rèy wa Sayil, se ou menm ki te kòmande lame pèp Izrayèl la kote l' ale. Lèfini ankò, Seyè a, Bondye ou la, te pwomèt se ou menm ki pral gouvènen pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la. Se ou menm ki pral chèf yo.
Also, yesterday and the day before, when Saul still reigned, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel. For the Lord your God said to you: ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over them.’”
3 Se konsa, tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon. Yo pase yon kontra avè l' devan Seyè a. Yo fè seremoni, yo mete l' wa sou pèp Izrayèl la tou, jan Seyè a te fè pwomès la nan bouch pwofèt Samyèl.
Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel went to the king at Hebron. And David formed a pact with them before the Lord. And they anointed him king over Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Samuel.
4 David mache sou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Lè sa a, lavil la te rele Jebis. Se moun Jebis yo, premye moun ki te rete nan peyi a, ki t'ap viv la toujou.
Then David and all of Israel went to Jerusalem. The same is Jebus, where the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were.
5 Moun Jebis yo te di David: Ou p'ap janm ka rive antre nan lavil nou an. Men David pran gwo fò ki te sou tèt mòn Siyon an. Se li yo rele lavil David la.
And those who were living in Jebus said to David: “You shall not enter here.” But David seized the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
6 David pou tèt pa l' te di premye moun ki va atake moun Jebis yo, l'ap mete l' chèf, moun sa a ap grannèg nan gouvènman l' lan. Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te premye moun ki atake. Se konsa li vin chèf.
And he said, “Whoever shall strike the Jebusites first, shall be ruler and commander.” And so Joab, the son of Zeruiah, ascended first, and he was made the leader.
7 Apre sa, David al rete nan fò a. Se poutèt sa yo rele l' lavil David la.
Then David lived in the stronghold, and for this reason it was called the City of David.
8 Lèfini, li bati lòt kay fè wonn fò a, depi sou teras la rive bò palè a. Joab menm rebati rès lavil la.
And he built up the city all around, from Millo even to every side. But Joab built the rest of the city.
9 Chak jou David t'ap vin pi fò. Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te kanpe avè l'.
And David continued advancing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.
10 Men non chèf vanyan sòlda David yo. Se yo ki te soutni gouvènman David la ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la pou l' te ka wa, jan Seyè a te pwomèt moun Izrayèl yo sa.
These are the leaders of the strong men of David, who assisted him, so that he would become king over all of Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.
11 Pou konmanse, te gen Jakobeyam ki soti nan branch fanmi Akmoni an. Se li menm ki te chèf twa pi vanyan yo. Pou kont li, li batay ak twasan (300) moun ak frenn li ase. Li touye yo tout yon sèl kou.
And this is the number of the robust of David: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, leader among the thirty. He lifted up his spear over three hundred, who were wounded at one time.
12 Dezyèm lan te rele Eleaza, pitit gason Dodo, pitit yon moun lavil Akwo. Se te yonn nan twa pi vanyan yo.
And after him, there was Eleazar, the son of his uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three powerful ones.
13 Li te avèk David lè David t'ap goumen ak moun Filisti yo nan batay bò Pasdamen an. Li te nan yon jaden lòj lè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo konmanse kouri devan moun Filisti yo.
He was with David in Pasdammim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place for battle. Now the field of that region was full of barley, but the people had fled from the face of the Philistines.
14 Se konsa, li menm ak sòlda li yo, yo tout rete kanpe nan mitan jaden lòj la, yo kenbe tèt ak moun Filisti yo, yo bat yo byen bat, yo kraze yo. Se konsa Seyè a te fè yo genyen batay la sou lènmi yo.
These men stood in the midst of the field, and they defended it. And when they had struck down the Philistines, the Lord gave a great salvation to his people.
15 Yon lòt jou, nan sezon rekòt, twa nan gwoup Trant yo al jwenn David nan gwòt Adoulam lan. Lame moun Filisti yo te moute kan yo nan plenn moun Refayim yo.
Then three from the thirty leaders descended to the rock where David was, to the cave of Adullam, when the Philistines had made camp in the Valley of the Rephaim.
16 Lè sa a, David te nan fò a. Yon gwoup moun Filisti te pran lavil Betleyèm.
Now David was in a stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem.
17 Yon sèl anvi pran David, li di konsa: -Ki moun ki va fè m' bwè ti gout dlo nan pi ki nan pòtay lavil Betleyèm lan?
And then David desired and said, “O if only someone would give me water from the well of Bethlehem, which is at the gate!”
18 Lamenm twa mesye yo desann, yo fofile kò yo nan mitan moun Filisti yo, yo pran dlo nan pi ki te nan pòtay lavil Betleyèm lan, yo pote l' vin bay David. Men, David refize bwè dlo a. Li vide l' atè, li ofri l' bay Seyè a.
Therefore, these three broke through to the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem, which was at the gate. And they took it to David, so that he might drink. But he was not willing; and instead, he offered it as a libation to the Lord,
19 Li di konsa: -Seyè, mwen pa gen dwa bwè dlo sa a. Se tankou si m' ta bwè san mesye sa yo ki riske lavi yo pou y' al chache l'. Se konsa, li derefize bwè dlo a. Se sa twa vanyan gason sa yo te fè.
saying: “Far be it from me, that I would do this in the sight of my God, and that I would drink the blood of these men. For at the peril of their own lives, they brought the water to me.” And for this reason, he was not willing to drink. The three most powerful accomplished these things.
20 Abichayi, frè Joab, te chèf trant vanyan yo. Pou kont li, avèk yon frenn nan men l', li goumen ak twasan (300) moun, li touye yo. Se konsa, tout moun t'ap nonmen non l' nan gwoup Trant vanyan yo.
Also, Abishai, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred, who were wounded. And he was most renowned among the three,
21 Se li menm ki te resevwa plis lwanj nan Trant vanyan yo. Apre sa, li vin chèf yo. Men, li pa janm rive fè sa twa pi vanyan yo te fè.
and he was famous among the second three and their leader. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the first three.
22 Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, moun lavil Kabseyèl, te pitit pitit yon vanyan sòlda. Li te fè anpil bagay ki fè wè li pa t' manke kouraj. Se li menm ki te touye de pitit Ariyèl yo, moun lavil Moab. Yon jou, lanèj t'ap tonbe, li desann nan yon sitèn dlo al touye yon lyon.
Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel, was a very mature man, who had accomplished many deeds. He struck down the two lions of God from Moab. And he descended and killed a lion in the middle of a pit, in the time of snow.
23 Li touye tou yon moun peyi Lejip, yon gwo potorik gason sèt pye sis pous wotè, ki te gen yon gwo frenn nan men li. Frenn lan te gen yon manch menm gwosè ak yon gwo mach pilon. Benaja menm al atake li ak yon baton ase. Li wete lans lan nan men moun peyi Lejip la, epi li touye l' avè l'.
And he struck down an Egyptian man, whose stature was five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver’s beam. And yet he descended to him with a staff. And he seized the spear that he was holding in his hand. And he killed him with his own spear.
24 Men sa Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, te fè. Se konsa, tout moun t'ap nonmen non l' nan gwoup Trant Vanyan yo.
These things were done by Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who was most renowned among the three robust ones,
25 Se non li yo t'ap nonmen pi plis nan Trant Vanyan yo. Apre sa, li vin chèf yo. Men, li pa t' janm rive fè sa twa pi vanyan yo te fè. David te mete l' nan gad kò li.
the first among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the three. Then David placed him beside his ear.
