2 Samyèl 23
1 Men dènye pawòl David yo. David, pitit gason Izayi a, te yon nonm Bondye te mete byen wo. Se li menm Bondye Jakòb la te chwazi pou wa. Li te fè bèl chante pou pèp Izrayèl la. Men sa li te di:
These also be the last wordes of Dauid, Dauid the sonne of Ishai saith, euen the man who was set vp on hie, the Anointed of the God of Iacob, and the sweete singer of Israel saith,
2 Se lespri Seyè a k'ap pale nan mwen. Se mesaj li k'ap soti nan bouch mwen.
The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his worde was in my tongue.
3 Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pale. Moun k'ap pwoteje pèp Izrayèl la di m' konsa: Chèf k'ap gouvènen san patipri, k'ap gouvènen avèk krentif pou Bondye,
The God of Israel spake to me, ye strength of Israel saide, Thou shalt beare rule ouer men, being iust, and ruling in the feare of God.
4 ap tankou solèy k'ap leve byen klere nan maten, nan yon syèl klè san yon ti nwaj ladan l'. L'ap tankou solèy k'ap fè zèb pouse apre lapli.
Euen as the morning light when the sunne riseth, the morning, I say, without cloudes, so shall mine house be, and not as the grasse of the earth is by the bright raine.
5 Se konsa Bondye pral beni tout ras mwen, paske li te pase yon kontra avè m' pou tout tan, yon kontra ki p'ap janm kase, yon pwomès ki p'ap janm chanje. Nan tout sikonstans l'ap fè m' genyen. L'ap ban mwen tou sa mwen vle.
For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an euerlasting couenant, perfite in all pointes, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it growe so.
6 Men, moun ki pa konn Bondye yo, y'ap tankou pikan y'ap voye jete. Pesonn p'ap manyen yo ak men.
But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes.
7 Pou manyen yo se pou ou gen yon bout fè osinon yon frenn. Lèfini, ou boule yo nèt nan dife.
But the man that shall touch them, must be defensed with yron, or with the shaft of a speare: and they shall be burnt with fire in the same place.
8 Men non vanyan sòlda David yo: Premye a te rele Jochèb Bachebèt, moun lavil Tachemon. Se li menm ki te chèf Twa pi vanyan yo. Pou kont li, li goumen ak frenn li ak witsan (800) moun. Li touye tout yon sèl kou.
These be the names of the mightie men whome Dauid had. He that sate in the seate of wisedome, being chiefe of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slewe eight hundreth at one time.
9 Dezyèm lan te rele Eleaza, pitit Dodo, pitit yon moun lavil Awoya. Se te yonn nan Twa pi vanyan yo. Yon jou, li menm ak David, y' al atake moun Filisti yo ki te sanble pou goumen. Sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo te kouri pou batay la.
And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo, the sonne of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with Dauid, when they defied the Philistims gathered there to battel, when the men of Israel were gone vp.
10 Men, li menm, li kenbe tèt ak moun Filisti yo, li touye moun jouk li gen lakranp nan men l'. Li pa t' ka louvri men l' pou l' lage nepe a. Jou sa a, Seyè a goumen byen goumen jouk li touye tout lènmi yo. Apre sa, lame pèp Izrayèl la tounen kote Eleaza te ye a, yo pran tou sa lènmi yo te kite.
He arose and smote the Philistims vntill his hande was wearie, and his hande claue vnto the sworde: and the Lord gaue great victorie the same day, and the people returned after him onely to spoyle.
11 Twazyèm lan te rele Chama, pitit gason Age, moun lavil Ara. Yon jou, moun Filisti yo te sanble lavil Lechi, kote ki te gen yon gwo jaden pwa. Sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap kouri pou moun Filisti yo.
After him was Shammah the sonne of Age the Hararite: for the Philistims assembled at a towne, where was a piece of a fielde full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistims.
12 Men Chama rete kanpe nan mitan jaden pwa a, li kenbe tèt ak moun Filisti yo, li bat yo byen bat. Se konsa Seyè a te goumen byen goumen jouk li touye tout lènmi yo.
But he stoode in the middes of the fielde, and defended it, and slewe the Philistims: so the Lord gaue great victorie.
13 Yon lòt jou, nan sezon rekòt, twa nan gwoup trant yo al jwenn David nan gwòt Adoulam lan. Lame moun Filisti yo te moute kan yo nan plenn Refrayim yo.
Afterward three of the thirtie captaines went downe, and came to Dauid in the haruest time vnto the caue of Adullam, and the hoste of the Philistims pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Lè sa a, David te nan ti fò a. Yon gwoup moun Filisti te pran lavil Betleyèm.
And Dauid was then in an holde, and the garison of ye Philistims was then in Beth-lehem.
15 Yon sèl anvi pran David, li di konsa: Ki moun ki va fè m' bwè ti gout dlo nan pi ki nan pòtay lavil Betleyèm lan?
And Dauid longed, and said, Oh, that one would giue me to drinke of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate.
16 Lamenm, twa mesye yo desann nan kan moun Filisti yo, yo pran dlo nan pi ki te nan pòtay lavil Betleyèm lan, yo pote l' vin bay David. Men, David refize bwè dlo a. Li vide l' atè, li ofri l' bay Seyè a.
The the three mightie brake into the host of the Philistims, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke and brought it to Dauid, who woulde not drinke thereof, but powred it for an offring vnto ye Lord,
17 Li di konsa: Seyè, mwen pa gen dwa bwè dlo sa a. Se tankou si m' ta bwè san mesye sa yo ki te riske lavi yo pou al chache l'. Se konsa li derefize bwè dlo a. Se sa twa vanyan sòlda sa yo te fè.
And said, O Lord, be it farre from me, that I should doe this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in ieopardie of their liues? therefore he woulde not drinke it. These things did these three mightie men.
18 Abichayi, frè Joab, pitit Sewouja, te chèf gwoup trant yo. Pou kont li, avèk yon frenn nan men l', li goumen ak twasan (300) moun, li touye yo. Se konsa, tout moun t'ap nonmen non l' nan gwoup trant lan.
And Abishai the brother of Ioab, the sonne of Zeruiah, was chiefe among the three, and he lifted vp his speare against three hundreth, and slewe them, and he had the name among the three.
19 Se non li yo t'ap nonmen pi plis nan Trant yo. Apre sa, li vin chèf yo. Men, li pa janm rive fè sa Twa pi vanyan yo te fè.
For he was most excellent of the three, and was their captaine, but he attained not vnto the first three.
20 Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, moun lavil Kabseyèl, te pitit pitit yon vanyan sòlda. Li te fè anpil bagay ki fè wè li pa t' manke kouraj. Se li menm ki te touye de pitit Ariyèl yo, moun lavil Moab. Yon jou, lanèj t'ap tonbe, li desann nan yon sitèn dlo pou li touye yon lyon.
And Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada the sonne of a valiant man, which had done many actes, and was of Kabzeel, slewe two strong men of Moab: he went downe also, and slewe a lyon in the middes of a pit in the time of snowe.
21 Se li menm ki te touye yon moun peyi Lejip, yon potorik gason bèl wotè, ki te gen yon frenn nan men l'. Li menm, li atake l' ak yon baton ase. Li wete frenn lan nan men moun Lejip la epi li touye l' avè l'.
And he slewe an Egyptian a man of great stature, and the Egyptian had a speare in his hande: but he went downe to him with a staffe, and plucked the speare out of the Egyptians hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.
22 Men sa Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, te fè. Se konsa tout moun t'ap nonmen non l' nan gwoup Trant lan.
These things did Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and had the name among the three worthies.
23 Se non li yo t'ap nonmen pi plis nan Trant yo. Apre sa, li vin chèf yo. Men, li pa t' janm rive fè sa twa pi vanyan yo te fè. David te mete l' chèf gad kò li.
He was honourable among thirtie, but he atteined not to the first three: and Dauid made him of his counsell.
