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 Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to build to 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 knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his kingdom, for the sake of 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 taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again sons and daughters;
4 Men non pitit David ki te fèt lavil Jerizalèm: Chamwa, Choba, Natan, Salomon,
and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibka, Elichwa, Elpelèt,
and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 Noga, Nefèg, Jafya,
and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 Elichama, Baalyada ak Elifelèt.
and Elishama, and Beeliada, 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 hear that David hath been anointed for king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
9 Moun Filisti yo rive, yo anvayi tout fon Refayim lan.
And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of Rephaim,
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 asketh of God, saying, 'Do I go up against the Philistines — and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And Jehovah saith to him, 'Go up, and I have given 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 they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them there, and David saith, 'God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have called the name of that place Baal-Perazim.
12 Moun Filisti yo te kouri kite zidòl yo dèyè. David bay lòd pou yo boule yo nan dife.
And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
13 Apre sa, moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon an ankò pou fè piyay.
And the Philistines add again, and rush into 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 asketh again of God, and God saith to him, 'Do not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come to them from over-against the mulberries;
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 it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the camp 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 doth as God commanded him, and they smite the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer;
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 goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
