2 Samyèl 8
1 Apre sa, David atake moun Filisti yo ankò. Li bat yo byen bat. Se konsa li kraze pouvwa yo te gen nan peyi a, li pran peyi a nan men yo.
And after this it came to pass that David stroke the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Lèfini li bat moun peyi Moab yo. Li fè prizonye yo kouche plat atè. Pou chak twa ladan yo, li touye de, li kite yonn vivan. Depi lè sa a moun peyi Moab yo soumèt devan David nèt. Li fè yo peye taks ba li chak lè.
And he stroke Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
3 Apre sa, li bat Adadezè, pitit gason Reyòb, wa peyi Zoba a, ki t'ap mache pran zòn ki sou anwo larivyè Lefrat la.
David stroke also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
4 David pran mil sètsan (1700) kavalye nan lame wa Adadezè a, li fè yo prizonye ansanm ak venmil (20.000) sòlda ki t'ap mache apye. Lè li fin wete kont chwal pou san cha lagè, li fè koupe jarèt tout rès chwal yo.
And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David cut the hamstrings of all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
5 Moun peyi Siri ki te rete lavil Damas yo voye yon lame pou pote Adadezè, wa peyi Zoba a, konkou. David atake yo, li bat yo tou. Li touye venndemil (22.000) sòlda.
And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Apre sa, David mete kèk ganizon sòlda pa l' nan teritwa Damas la. Moun peyi Siri yo soumèt devan li. Li fè yo peye l' taks chak lè. Se konsa, Seyè a te fè David genyen tout batay kote l' pase.
Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David anywhere he went.
7 David sezi tout gwo plak pwotèj an fè chèf lame wa Adadezè yo, li pote yo lavil Jerizalèm.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Li pran yon gwo kantite kwiv li te jwenn lavil Beta ak lavil Bewotayi, ki te pou Adadezè.
And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
9 Lè Tòy, wa lavil Amat la, tande jan David te kraze tout lame Adadezè a,
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
10 li voye pitit li, Joram, al wè David pou di l' bonjou epi pou fè l' konpliman dèske li te bat Adadezè, paske Tòy te toutan ap fè lagè ak Adadezè. Joram te pote kado fèt an lò, an ajan ak an kwiv bay David.
Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
11 Wa David pran tout bagay sa yo, li mete yo apa pou sèvis Seyè a ansanm ak tout lò ak ajan li te pran lakay moun lòt nasyon li te fè soumèt devan li,
Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
12 ki vle di moun peyi Edon, moun peyi Moab, moun peyi Amon, moun peyi Filisti ak moun peyi Amalèk. Li fè menm bagay la tou ak tou sa li te pran apre lagè ak Adadezè, pitit Reyòb, wa Zoba a.
Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Non David te nan bouch tout moun pi rèd toujou, lè li te fin touye dizwitmil (18.000) moun peyi Edon nan fon Sèl la.
And David got him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
14 Li mete kèk ganizon sòlda pa l' nan teritwa Edon an. Moun Edon yo soumèt devan li. Li fè yo peye l' taks chak lè. Se konsa Seyè a te fè David genyen tout batay kote l' pase.
And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David anywhere he went.
15 David t'ap gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la. Li te fè tout moun jistis san patipri. Li te fè tout zafè l' dwat.
And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
16 Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te kòmandan lame a. Jozafa, pitit gason Akiloud la, te reskonsab achiv yo.
And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
17 Zadòk, pitit gason Akitoub la, ak Akimelèk, pitit gason Abyata a, te prèt. Seraja te sekretè.
And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
18 Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, te chèf keretyen ak peletyen yo ki te gad pèsonèl wa a. Pitit gason David yo menm te prèt.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
