2 Samyèl 16
1 David te fèk fin kite tèt mòn lan lè li wè Ziba, domestik Mefibochèt la, k'ap vin kontre l'. Li t'ap mennen de bourik byen chaje avèk desan (200) pen, san (100) grap rezen chèch, san (100) pake fwi mi ak yon gwo veso fèt ak po bèt plen diven.
When David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a container of wine.
2 Wa David mande l': -Sa ou pral fè ak tout bagay sa yo? Ziba reponn li: -Bourik yo, se pou wa a ansanm ak fanmi li yo moute. Pen yo ak fwi yo, se pou moun ou yo manje, diven an pou yo bwè lè y'a santi yo bouke nan dezè a.
The king said to Ziba, “What do you mean by these?” Ziba said, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that those who are faint in the wilderness may drink.”
3 Wa a mande l': -Kote mèt ou, Mefibochèt, pitit pitit Sayil la? Ziba reponn: -Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, paske li di li sèten moun peyi Izrayèl yo pral renmèt li baton kòmandman ki te nan men Sayil, granpapa l' la.
The king said, “Where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore me the kingdom of my father.’”
4 Wa a di Ziba konsa: -Depi jòdi a, tou sa ki te pou Mefibochèt se pou ou yo ye. Ziba reponn li: -Men mwen lage kò m' nan pye ou, monwa. Mwen mande pou ou toujou kontan avè m'.
Then the king said to Ziba, “Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.” Ziba said, “I bow down. Let me find favour in your sight, my lord, O king.”
5 Lè wa David rive bò lavil Bakourim, yon moun fanmi wa Sayil soti lavil la vin kontre l'. Se te Chimeyi, pitit gason Gera a. Antan l'ap vanse sou David, li t'ap joure l', li t'ap ba li madichon.
When King David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of Saul’s house came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out and cursed as he came.
6 Li konmanse voye wòch sou David ak sou moun pa l' yo, atout pèp la ak sòlda yo t'ap mache sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch wa a.
He cast stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 Chimeyi t'ap bay David madichon, li t'ap di l': -Ale ou vouzan! Ale ou vouzan! Vakabon! Ansasen!
Shimei said when he cursed, “Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and wicked fellow!
8 Ou te pran plas wa Sayil la! Jòdi a Seyè a ap pini ou pou tout moun nan fanmi Sayil ou te sasinen yo. Seyè a renmèt gouvènman an nan men Absalon, pitit gason ou lan. Se konsa pou ou te fini, se ansasen ou ye!
The LORD has returned on you all the blood of Saul’s house, in whose place you have reigned! The LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man of blood!”
9 Abichayi, pitit gason Sewouya a, di wa a konsa: -Monwa, poukisa pou ou kite chen mouri sa a ap madichonnen ou konsa? Kite m' janbe lòt bò a al koupe tèt li!
Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head.”
10 Wa a di Abichayi ansanm ak Joab, frè li a: -Pa antre nan sa ki pa gade nou, tande. Si se Seyè a ki di l' pou l' ban m' madichon, ki moun ki gen dwa mande l' pouki l'ap fè sa?
The king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because the LORD has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”
11 Apre sa, David pale ak Abichayi ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo, li di yo: -Gade! Pwòp pitit gason mwen, san mwen, deyò pou l' touye m'. Ale wè pou moun sa a ki soti nan ras Benjamen yo! Kite l' ban m' madichon, si se Seyè a ki di l' ban m' madichon.
David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has invited him.
12 Nou pa janm konnen, Seyè a va wè nan ki mizè mwen ye. Lè sa a, l'a ban m' benediksyon nan plas madichon l'ap ban m' jòdi a.
It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that the LORD will repay me good for the cursing of me today.”
13 Se konsa, David ale chemen l' avèk tout moun li yo. Chimeyi menm t'ap mache dèyè yo sou flan mòn lan, li t'ap ba yo madichon, li t'ap voye wòch ak pousyè tè sou yo.
So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him, and threw dust.
14 Wa a ansanm ak tout pèp la te bouke jouk yo pa t' kapab ankò lè yo rive bò larivyè Jouden. Se la yo rete pran souf.
The king and all the people who were with him arrived weary; and he refreshed himself there.
15 Absalon antre lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Achitofèl te ansanm ak yo.
Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 Lè Ouchayi, bon zanmi David la, kontre ak Absolon, li di: -Viv wa a! Viv wa a!
When Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, Hushai said to Absalom, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
17 Absalon di l' konsa: -Se konsa ou te bon zanmi David la? Poukisa ou pa t' ale ansanm avè l'?
Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you go with your friend?”
18 Ouchayi reponn li: -Ki jan pou m' ta fè sa? Se pou moun Seyè a ansanm ak moun sa yo ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo chwazi a mwen ye. Se avè l' pou m' rete.
Hushai said to Absalom, “No; but whomever the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, I will be his, and I will stay with him.
19 Lèfini, ki moun pou m' ta sèvi si se pa pitit mèt mwen an? Menm jan mwen te sèvi papa ou, konsa m'a sèvi ou tou.
Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so I will be in your presence.”
20 Apre sa, Absalon vire bò Achitofèl, li di l' konsa: -Ann antann nou sou sa nou pral fè koulye a.
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your counsel what we shall do.”
21 Achitofèl reponn: -Al kouche ak lòt fanm kay papa ou yo, sa li kite dèyè pou okipe palè a. Lè sa a, tout moun nan peyi Izrayèl la va konnen bagay la gate nèt ant ou menm ak papa ou. Konsa, moun ki avè ou yo ap vin pi ankouraje.
Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
22 Se konsa, yo moute yon tant pou Absalon sou teras sou do palè a. Epi la, devan tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo, Absalon kouche ak fanm kay papa l' yo.
So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
23 Lè sa a, nenpòt konsèy Achitofèl te bay se tankou si se te pawòl Bondye. Ni David ni Absalon te toujou swiv konsèy li yo.
The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man enquired at the inner sanctuary of God. All the counsel of Ahithophel was like this both with David and with Absalom.
