< 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 it cometh to pass afterwards that David smiteth the Philistines, and humbleth them, and David taketh the bridle of the metropolis 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 smiteth Moab, and measureth them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measureth two lines to put to death, and the fulness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are to David for servants, bearers of a present.
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.
And David smiteth Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in his going to bring back his power by 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 captureth from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David destroyeth utterly the whole of the charioteers, only he leaveth of them a hundred charioteers.
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 Aram of Damascus cometh to give help to Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smiteth of Aram twenty and two 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.
and David putteth garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is to David for a servant, bearing a present; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone;
7 David sezi tout gwo plak pwotèj an fè chèf lame wa Adadezè yo, li pote yo lavil Jerizalèm.
and David taketh the shields of gold which were on the servants of Hadadezer, and bringeth 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, hath king David taken very much brass.
9 Lè Tòy, wa lavil Amat la, tande jan David te kraze tout lame Adadezè a,
And Toi king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten all the force 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.
and Toi sendeth Joram his son unto king David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him, (because that he hath fought against Hadadezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars [with] Toi had Hadadezer been), and in his hand have been 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,
also them did king David sanctify to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold which he sanctified 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.
of Aram, and of Moab, and of the Bene-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 maketh a name in his turning back from his smiting Aram in the valley of Salt — eighteen thousand;
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 putteth in Edom garrisons — in all Edom he hath put garrisons, and all Edom are servants to David; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he hath gone.
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 reigneth over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,
16 Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te kòmandan lame a. Jozafa, pitit gason Akiloud la, te reskonsab achiv yo.
and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,
17 Zadòk, pitit gason Akitoub la, ak Akimelèk, pitit gason Abyata a, te prèt. Seraja te sekretè.
and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar, [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] 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 son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.
