1 Istwa 20
1 Nan prentan apre sa, nan epòk wa yo konn soti al fè lagè, Joab pati ak pifò sòlda lame pèp Izrayèl la. Yo ravaje peyi Amon an, yo sènen lavil Raba. David menm te rete lavil Jerizalèm. Joab pran lavil la, li kraze l'.
In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.
2 Estati Milkòm, zidòl moun Amon yo, te gen yon gwo kouwòn fèt an lò sou tèt li. Kouwòn lan te peze swasannkenz liv, li te gen yon gwo pyè koute chè ladan l'. David pran kouwòn lò ki te sou tèt zidòl la, li mete l' sou tèt pa l'. Lèfini, se pa de bagay li pa pran nan lavil la.
Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
3 Li pran moun ki te rete nan lavil la, li mete yo fè travay ak goyin, wou ak rach. Li fè menm bagay la tou nan tout lòt lavil peyi Amon an. Apre sa, David tounen lavil Jerizalèm ak tout moun li yo.
David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
4 Apre sa, lagè pete ankò ant moun Filisti yo ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo bò lavil Gezè. Lè sa a, Sibekayi, yon moun lavil Ousa, touye Sipayi, yon moun nan ras Arafa yo. Yo fè moun Filisti yo soumèt devan yo.
Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
5 Pandan yon lòt batay ak moun Filisti yo ankò, Elkanan, pitit gason Jayi, touye Lami, frè Golyat, yon moun lavil Gat. Frenn Lami an te gen yon manch menm gwosè ak yon gwo manch pilon.
Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Vin gen yon lòt batay ankò lavil Gat. Lè sa a, te gen yon sòlda bèl wotè ki te gen sis dwèt nan chak men, sis zòtèy nan chak pye. Se te yonn nan ras moun Arafa yo.
And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
7 Li t'ap pase moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan betiz. Jonatan, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David la, touye l'.
and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
8 Kat sòlda peyi Filisti sa yo te soti nan ras moun Arafa yo, nan lavil Gat. David ak sòlda li yo touye yo.
So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
