After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and David took the bridle of Ammah 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.

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.

8 Li pran yon gwo kantite kwiv li te jwenn lavil Beta ak lavil Bewotayi, ki te pou Adadezè.
From Tebah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a very great amount of bronze.
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 struck all the army 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 Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
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,
The King also dedicated these to the LORD, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the 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.
