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 Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, 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.
In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”
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.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel, according to Yahweh’s word by 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.
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
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.
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.
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.
David had said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
7 Apre sa, David al rete nan fò a. Se poutèt sa yo rele l' lavil David la.
David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.
8 Lèfini, li bati lòt kay fè wonn fò a, depi sou teras la rive bò palè a. Joab menm rebati rès lavil la.
He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired 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'.
David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh of Armies 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.
Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to Yahweh’s word concerning 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.
This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them 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.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
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 at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before 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.
They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.
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.
Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16 Lè sa a, David te nan fò a. Yon gwoup moun Filisti te pran lavil Betleyèm.
David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.
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?
David longed, and said, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by 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.
The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,
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.
and said, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did 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.
Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name 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.
Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain; however he wasn’t included in the 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, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.
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'.
He killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and 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.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things and had a name among the three mighty men.
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.
Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.
