1 Istwa 18
1 Apre sa, David atake moun Filisti yo ankò. Li bat yo byen bat. Se konsa li pran lavil Gat ak tout ti bouk ki te sou lòd li yo, nan men moun Filisti yo.
Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them, and he took Gath and her daughters from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Lèfini, li bat moun peyi Moab yo. Moun Moab yo soumèt devan David. Li fè yo peye taks ba li chak lè.
And he struck Moab. And the Moabites became the servants of David, offering gifts to him.
3 Apre sa, li bat Adadezè, wa peyi Zoba a, ki t'ap mache pran zòn ki sou anwo larivyè Lefrat la.
In that time, David also struck Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, in the region of Hamath, when he went forth so that he might extend his dominion as far as the river Euphrates.
4 David pran mil (1.000) cha lagè, sèt mil (7.000) kavalye nan lame wa Adadezè a, li fè yo prizonye ansanm ak venmil (20.000) sòlda ki t'ap mache apye. Lè li fin wete kont chwal pou san (100) cha lagè, li fè koupe jarèt tout rès chwal yo.
Then David seized one thousand of his four-horse chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, except for one hundred four-horse chariots, which he reserved for himself.
5 Moun Siri lavil Damas yo voye yon lame pou pote Adadezè, wa peyi Zoba a, konkou. David atake yo, li bat yo tou. Li touye venndemil (22.000) sòlda.
Then the Syrians of Damascus also arrived, so that they might offer assistance to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And so, David then struck of them twenty-two thousand men.
6 Apre sa, David mete moun pa l' pou gouvènen peyi Damas la. Moun Siri yo soumèt devan li. Li fè yo peye taks chak lè. Se konsa Seyè a te fè David genyen tout batay kote l' pase.
And he stationed soldiers in Damascus, so that Syria also would serve him, and would offer gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all the things to which he went forth.
7 David sezi tout gwo plak pwotèj an lò chèf lame wa Adadezè yo, li pote yo lavil Jerizalèm.
Also, David took the golden quivers, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Li pran yon gwo kantite kwiv li te jwenn lavil Tiba ak lavil Koun ki te pou Adadezè. Se ak kwiv sa yo Salomon te fè gwo basen lan, poto won yo ak lòt veso an kwiv pou Tanp lan.
In addition, from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, he brought very much brass, from which Solomon made the sea of brass, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9 Lè Towou, wa lavil Amat la, tande jan David te kraze tout lame Adadezè a,
Now when Toi, the king of Hamath, had heard this, specifically that David had struck the entire army of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah,
10 li voye pitit li, Adouram al wè David pou di l' bonjou, epi pou fe l' konpliman deske li te bat Adadezè, paske Towou te toutan ap fè lagè ak Adadezè. Adouram te pote kado fèt an lò, an ajan ak an kwiv bay David.
he sent his son Hadoram to king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.
11 Wa David pran tout bagay sa yo, li mete yo apa pou sèvis Seyè a, ansanm ak tout lò ak tout ajan li te pran lakay moun lòt nasyon li te fè soumèt devan li, ki vle di moun peyi Edon, moun peyi Moab, moun peyi Amon, moun peyi Filisti ak moun peyi Amalèk.
Moreover, all the vessels of gold and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, as much from Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines and Amalek.
12 Apre sa, Abichayi, pitit gason Sewouja a, touye dizwitmil (18.000) moun peyi Edon nan Fon Sèl la.
Truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of the Salt Pits.
13 Li mete kèk ganizon sòlda nan teritwa Edon an. Tout moun Edon yo soumèt devan David. Se konsa, Seyè a te fè David genyen tout batay kote l' pase.
And he stationed a garrison in Edom, so that Idumea would serve David. And the Lord saved David in all the things to which he went forth.
14 David t'ap gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la. Li te fè tout moun jistis san patipri. Li te fè tout afè l' dwat.
Therefore, David reigned over all of Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people.
15 Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te kòmandan chèf lame a. Jozafa, pitit gason Akiloud la, te reskonsab achiv yo.
Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the army, and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.
16 Zadòk, pitit gason Akitoub, ak Akimelèk, pitit gason Abyata a, te prèt. Chaoucha te sekretè.
And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And Shavsha was the scribe.
17 Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, te chèf keretyen yo ak pelesyen yo ki te gad pèsonèl wa a. Pitit gason David yo menm te gwo chèf apre wa a.
Also, Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were first at the hand of the king.
