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.
And there is a famine in the days of David three years, year after year, and David seeketh the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah saith, 'For Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put to death 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.
And the king calleth for the Gibeonites, and saith unto them — as to the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeketh to smite them in his zeal for the sons 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?
yea, David saith unto the Gibeonites, 'What do I do for you? and with what do I make atonement? and bless ye the inheritance of Jehovah.'
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.
And the Gibeonites say to him, 'We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel;' and he saith, 'What ye are saying I do to 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.
And they say unto the king, 'The man who consumed us, and who devised against us — we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border 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 there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before Jehovah, in the height of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah.' And the king saith, 'I do give;'
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.
and the king hath pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of Jehovah that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan 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.
and the king taketh the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare to Adriel 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 giveth them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before Jehovah; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement 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 daughter of Aiah taketh the sackcloth, and stretcheth it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest till water hath been poured out upon them from the heavens, and hath not suffered a fowl of the heavens to rest upon them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
11 Y' al rapòte bay David sa Rispa, yonn nan fanm kay Sayil yo, t'ap fè a.
And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath 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.)
and David goeth and taketh the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines smiting Saul in Gilboa;
13 David pran zosman Sayil ansanm ak zosman Jonatan yo, li ranmase zosman sèt mesye yo te pann yo tou.
and he bringeth up thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gather the bones of those 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 bury the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of Kish his father, and do all that the king commanded, and God is entreated for the land afterwards.
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.
And again have the Philistines war with Israel, and David goeth down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
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 Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant — the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels] weight of brass, and he is girded with a new one — speaketh of smiting 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.
and Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth help to him, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death; then swear the men of David to him, saying, 'Thou dost not go out again with us to battle, nor quench 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.
And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
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.
And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, smiteth [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
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.
And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six, twenty and four in number, and he also hath been born to the giant,
21 Li t'ap pase moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan betiz. Jonatan, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David la, touye l'.
and he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimeah, brother of David;
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 have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
