2 Samyèl 21
1 Sou rèy wa David, vin gen yon gwo grangou pandan twazan yonn apre lòt. Lè sa a, David al mande Seyè a sa k'ap pase. Seyè a reponn li: -Se krim Sayil ak fanmi l' yo te fè ki lakòz grangou sa a, paske yo te sasinen moun lavil Gabawon yo.
Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered the Gibeonites."
2 Moun lavil Gabawon yo pa t' fanmi moun Izrayèl yo. Se yon ti rès nan moun peyi Amori moun Izrayèl yo te pran angajman yo t'ap toujou pwoteje. Men, Sayil te sitèlman cho pou defann enterè moun fanmi Izrayèl ak fanmi Jida yo, li te soti pou l' te detwi yo.
So the king summoned the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. And the children of Israel had sworn to them, but Saul sought to exterminate them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)
3 Se konsa David voye chache yo, li mande yo: -Kisa m' ka fè pou nou? Ki jan pou m' repare tou sa nou sibi pou nou ka rale benediksyon sou pèp Seyè a?
And David said to the Gibeonites, "What can I do for you? And how can I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"
4 Yo reponn li: -Sa nou gen pou n' regle ak Sayil ansanm ak rès fanmi li an, se pa yon keksyon lò ak ajan, ni nou pa ta renmen touye pesonn nan peyi Izrayèl. David mande yo: -Manyè di m' sa nou vle m' fè pou nou.
The Gibeonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it our place to put anyone to death in Israel." Then he said, "What do you want? For I will do it for you."
5 Yo reponn li: -Sayil te soti pou disparèt nou. Li te fè lide pou l' te touye nou nèt pou l' pa kite yonn nan nou vivan nan tout peyi Izrayèl la.
So they said to the king, "The man who opposed us and persecuted us, who meant to eradicate us from having a place anywhere in the territory of Israel,
6 Enben, renmèt nou sèt gason nan fanmi li an pou nou ka pann yo devan Seyè a nan lavil Gabawon, lavil Sayil la menm, nonm Seyè a te chwazi pou wa a. David reponn yo: -M'ap ban nou yo.
let seven of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD at Gibeon on the mountain of the LORD." And the king replied, "I will do it."
7 David pa ba yo Mefibochèt, pitit Jonatan an, pitit pitit Sayil la, poutèt sèman li menm ak Jonatan, pitit Sayil la, yo te fè devan Bondye.
But the king spared Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Men, li pran Amoni ak Mefibochèt, de pitit gason Rispa, pitit Ayi a, te fè pou Sayil, ansanm ak senk pitit gason Merab, pitit Sayil la, te fè pou Adriyèl, pitit gason Bazilayi, moun lavil Meola a.
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 Li lage yo nan men moun Gabawon yo ki pann yo sou yon ti mòn devan Seyè a. Yo tou lesèt mouri ansanm. Lè sa a, se te fen sezon prentan, yo te fèk konmanse rekòt lòj la.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fell together. And they were put to death in the first days of harvest at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Apre sa, Rispa, pitit Ayi a, pran yon rad sak, li vlope kò l' ladan l', li al chita sou wòch kote kadav yo te ye a. Li rete la depi nan konmansman rekòt la jouk sezon lapli a rive. Lajounen li t'ap chase zwazo ki te vle vin poze sou kadav yo. Lannwit li t'ap kouri dèyè bèt nan bwa ki te vle vin devore yo.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on a rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.
11 Y' al rapòte bay David sa Rispa, yonn nan fanm kay Sayil yo, t'ap fè a.
It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife of Saul, had done.
12 David al pran zosman Sayil ansanm ak zosman Jonatan nan men moun lavil Jabès yo nan peyi Galarad. (Moun sa yo te al vòlò kadav Sayil ak Jonatan sou plas piblik lavil Bèt-Chean kote moun Filisti yo te pann yo lè yo te fin touye Sayil sou mòn Gilboa a.)
Then David went and obtained the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day that the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa;
13 David pran zosman Sayil ansanm ak zosman Jonatan yo, li ranmase zosman sèt mesye yo te pann yo tou.
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. And they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
14 Lèfini, yo antere yo ansanm ak zosman Sayil ak zosman Jonatan yo nan tonm Kich, papa Sayil la, lavil Zela nan pòsyon peyi ki pou branch fanmi Benjamen yo. Yo fè tou sa wa a te bay lòd fè a. Apre sa, Bondye tande lapriyè yo pou peyi a.
And he buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. After that God responded to prayers for the land.
15 Lagè pete ankò ant moun Filisti yo ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo. David desann ak sòlda li yo, li al goumen ak moun Filisti yo. Pandan y'ap goumen konsa, David santi l' bouke.
The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. Now David became exhausted,
16 Yon potorik gason bèl wotè yo te rele Ichbibenòb, moun laras Arafa yo, fè lide pou l' touye David. Li te gen yon frenn an kwiv ki te peze sèt liv edmi konsa ak yon nepe tou nèf mare nan ren li.
and Dodo son of Joash, of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could kill David.
17 Men, Abichayi, pitit gason Sewouja a, vin pote wa a sekou. Li atake moun Filisti a, li touye l'. Lè sa a, moun David yo fè wa a pwomèt pou li pa janm vin nan lagè avè yo ankò. Yo di l': -Ou se espwa pèp Izrayèl la. Nou pa vle pèdi ou.
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David took an oath, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."
18 Apre sa, te gen yon lòt batay ankò avè moun Filisti yo lavil Gòb. Lè sa a, Sibekayi, moun lavil Ousa, touye Saf, yon lòt potorik gason nan ras moun Arafa yo.
Now it came to pass after this that there was another battle with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
19 Pandan yon lòt batay avèk moun Filisti yo ankò nan menm lavil Gòb la, Elanan, pitit gason Jari, moun lavil Betleyèm, touye Golyat, yon moun lavil Gat. Frenn Golyat la te gen yon manch menm gwosè ak yon gwo manch pilon.
There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 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 at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he also was a descendant of Raphah.
21 Li t'ap pase moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan betiz. Jonatan, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David la, touye l'.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
22 Kat sòlda peyi Filisti sa yo te moun bèl wotè, potorik gason, nan ras moun Arafa yo lavil Gat. David ak moun pa li yo touye yo.
These four were descendants of Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
