1 Istwa 14
1 Iram, wa lavil Tir la, delege kèk mesaje bò kote David ak yon chajman bwa sèd. Li voye tou kèk bòs mason ak bòs chapant pou bati yon palè pou li.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Lè sa a atò, David wè tout bon vre se Seyè a menm ki te mete l' wa pèp Izrayèl la, epi ki te fè tout bagay mache byen pou gouvènman li, akòz pèp Bondye a, pèp Izrayèl la.
And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.
3 Lè David te lavil Jerizalèm, li pran lòt madanm ki ba li lòt pitit gason ak lòt pitit fi.
And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he beget sons, and daughters.
4 Men non pitit David ki te fèt lavil Jerizalèm: Chamwa, Choba, Natan, Salomon,
Now these are the names of them that were born to him in Jerusalem: Samua, and Sobad, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibka, Elichwa, Elpelèt,
Jebahar, and Elisua, and Eliphalet,
6 Noga, Nefèg, Jafya,
And Noga, and Napheg, and Japhia,
7 Elichama, Baalyada ak Elifelèt.
Elisama. and Baaliada, and Eliphalet.
8 Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen yo te mete David wa pou tout pèp Izrayèl la, yo tout yo leve pou y' al mete men sou li. Lè David li menm pran nouvèl la, li soti al kontre yo.
And the Philistines hearing that David was anointed king over all Israel, went all up to seek him: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Moun Filisti yo rive, yo anvayi tout fon Refayim lan.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.
10 David pale ak Bondye, li mande l': -Eske se pou m' atake moun Filisti yo? Eske w'ap lage yo nan men m'? Seyè a reponn li: -Wi, atake yo. M'ap lage yo nan men ou.
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I go up against the Philistines, and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him: Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hand.
11 David moute Baal Perazim, li kraze moun Filisti yo. Le sa a, David di: -Tankou yon lavalas, Bondye sèvi avè m' pou l' louvri yon pasaj nan mitan lènmi m' yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Baal Perazim.
And when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baalpharasim.
12 Moun Filisti yo te kouri kite zidòl yo dèyè. David bay lòd pou yo boule yo nan dife.
And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.
13 Apre sa, moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon an ankò pou fè piyay.
Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the valley.
14 David mande Bondye sa pou li fè. Bondye di li: -Pa atake yo pa devan bò isit la. Fè yon detou, pase pa dèyè yo. W'a atake yo bò pye gayak yo.
And David consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up after them, turn away from them, and come upon them over against the pear trees.
15 Lè w'a tande yon bri tankou bri pye yon moun k'ap mache sou tèt pyebwa yo, w'a fonse sou yo. Paske sa vle di se mwen menm Bondye k'ap pran devan ou pou bat lame moun Filisti yo.
And when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou go out to battle. For God is gone out before thee to strike the army of the Philistines.
16 David fè sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a. Yo bat lame moun Filisti yo, yo kouri dèyè yo depi lavil Geba rive lavil Gezè.
And David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 Se konsa toupatou yo t'ap nonmen non wa David. Seyè a te fè tout nasyon yo pè li.
And the name of David became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.
