2 Samyèl 10
1 Kèk tan apre sa, Nakach, wa lavil Amon an, mouri. Se pitit li, Anoun, ki moute wa nan plas li.
And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the king of the Bene-Ammon dieth, and Hanun his son reigneth in his stead,
2 David di: -Se pou m' aji byen ak Anoun menm jan papa l', Nakach, te aji byen avè m'. Se konsa David voye mesaje al di Anoun jan sa te fè l' lapenn lè l' pran nouvèl lanmò papa l'. Lè mesaje yo rive lavil Amon,
and David saith, 'I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, as his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father, and the servants of David come in to the land of the Bene-Ammon.
3 chèf moun Amon yo di wa Anoun konsa: -Pa konprann se sèlman pou lanmò papa ou la kifè David voye mesaje sa yo bò kote ou pou konsole ou. Detwonpe ou. Li voye yo isit la pou yo wè jan lavil la ye, pou yo gade byen jan sa ap pase nan lavil la. Konsa, pita li ka vin pran lavil la nan men nou.
And the heads of the Bene-Ammon say unto Hanun their lord, 'Is David honouring thy father in thine eyes because he hath sent to thee comforters? for to search the city, and to spy it, and to overthrow it, hath not David sent his servants unto thee?'
4 Sa Anoun fè lè sa a, li pran moun David te voye yo, li raze tout yon bò nan bab yo, li koupe anba rad yo ra dèyè yo, li voye yo tounen.
And Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth off the half of their beard, and cutteth off their long robes in the midst — unto their buttocks, and sendeth them away;
5 Mesye yo te wont anpil pou yo te tounen lakay yo konsa. Lè David vin konn sa ki te rive yo, li voye di yo rete lavil Jeriko, y'a tounen lakay yo lè bab yo va pouse ankò.
and they declare [it] to David, and he sendeth to meet them, for the men have been greatly ashamed, and the king saith, 'Abide in Jericho till your beard doth spring up — then ye have returned.'
6 Moun Amon yo vin konprann yo te fè David fache. Yo voye chache venmil (20.000) sòlda lavil Bètreyòb ak lavil Zoba nan peyi Aram lan, ak douzmil (12.000) gason lavil Tòb. Yo voye chache wa lavil Maka a tou ansanm ak mil (1.000) sòlda. Yo peye yo pou yo vin goumen pou yo.
And the Bene-Ammon see that they have been abhorred by David, and the Bene-Ammon send and hire Aram of Beth-Rehob, and Aram of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah [with] a thousand men, and Ish-Tob [with] twelve thousand men;
7 David menm vin konn sa, li voye Joab ak tout lame vanyan sòlda li yo al kontre yo.
and David heareth, and sendeth Joab, and all the host — the mighty men.
8 Moun Amon yo soti, y' al pran pozisyon devan pòtay lavil Raba, kapital yo a. Moun Aram ki soti lavil Bètreyòb ak lavil Zoba yo ansanm ak mesye lavil Tòb yo ak mesye lavil Maka yo pran pozisyon nan plenn lan.
And the Bene-Ammon come out, and set battle in array, at the opening of the gate, and Aram of Zoba, and Rehob, and Ish-Tob, and Maacah, [are] by themselves in the field;
9 Joab te wè lame lènmi yo te ka atake l' ni sou devan ni sou dèyè. Sa l' fè? Li chwazi pi bon sòlda nan lame pèp Izrayèl la, li mete yo an pozisyon devan lame moun Aram yo.
and Joab seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto him before and behind, and he chooseth of all the chosen in Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram,
10 Lèfini, li mete Abichayi, frè l' la, alatèt rès lame a, li fè yo pran pozisyon devan moun Amon yo.
and the rest of the people he hath given into the hand of Abishai his brother, and setteth in array to meet the Bene-Ammon.
11 Joab di Abichayi konsa: -Si ou wè moun Aram yo soti pou yo bat mwen, w'a vin ede m'. Konsa tou, si mwen wè moun Amon yo vle pi fò pase ou, m'a vin ede ou.
And he saith, 'If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast been to me for salvation, and if the Bene-Ammon be stronger than thou, then I have come to give salvation to thee;
12 Mete gason sou nou. Kouraj! Nou pral goumen rèd mare pou pèp nou an ak pou lavil Bondye nou an. Bondye va fè sa li vle li menm.
be strong and strengthen thyself for our people, and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth that which is good in His eyes.'
13 Joab ak sòlda li yo mache sou moun Aram yo. Moun Aram yo kouri pou li.
And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him, to battle against Aram, and they flee from his presence;
14 Lè moun Amon yo wè moun Aram yo kouri ale, yo kouri tou pou Abichayi, yo antre nan lavil la. Lè sa a, Joab sispann batay la ak moun Amon yo, li tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
and the Bene-Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they flee from the presence of Abishai, and go in to the city; and Joab turneth back from the Bene-Ammon, and cometh in to Jerusalem.
15 Lè moun Aram yo wè moun Izrayèl yo te bat yo ankò, yo sanble dènye sòlda yo te genyen.
And Aram seeth that it is smitten before Israel, and they are gathered together;
16 Adadezè voye yon mesaj bay moun Aram ki rete lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la, pou yo pare vin goumen pou li. Yo reyini lavil Elam. Se Chobak, chèf lame Adadezè a, ki te alatèt yo.
and Hadadezer sendeth, and bringeth out Aram which [is] beyond the River, and they come in to Helam, and Shobach head of the host of Hadadezer [is] before them.
17 Lè David vin konn sa, li sanble tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden, li rive Elam. Moun Aram yo pran pozisyon devan li. Epi batay la konmanse.
And it is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel, and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in to Helam, and Aram setteth itself in array to meet David, and they fight with him;
18 Moun Izrayèl yo fè moun Aram yo kouri met deyò. David ak sòlda li yo touye sètsan (700) sòlda ki te sou cha lagè, katòzmil (14.000) sòlda ki te sou chwal. Yo blese Chobak, chèf lame lènmi yo, ki mouri la menm kote yo t'ap goumen an.
and Aram fleeth from the presence of Israel, and David slayeth of Aram seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand horsemen, and Shobach head of its host he hath smitten, and he dieth there.
19 Lè tout ti wa ki te mete tèt ansanm ak Adadezè yo wè jan moun Izrayèl yo te bat yo, yo fè lapè ak yo, yo soumèt devan yo. Se konsa, moun Aram pa pran chans al pote moun Amon yo sekou ankò.
And all the kings — servants of Hadadezer — see that they have been smitten before Israel, and make peace with Israel, and serve them; and Aram is afraid to help any more the Bene-Ammon.
