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'.
And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed 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.
And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.
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.
And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with alibis people 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.
After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and humbled them.
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.
Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff 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.
There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha.
7 Li t'ap pase moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan betiz. Jonatan, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David la, touye l'.
He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew 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.
These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
