1 Istwa 11
1 Epi tout Israël te reyini kote David nan Hébron. Yo te di: “Gade byen, nou se zo ou ak chè ou.
Then did all Israel gather themselves together to David, unto Hebron, saying, —Lo! thy bone and thy flesh, are we.
2 Nan tan pase yo, menm lè Saül te wa, se te ou menm ki te mennen Israël sòti ak antre. Epi konsa, SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te di ou: ‘Ou va bèje pèp Israël Mwen an, e ou va Prens sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.’”
Moreover also, in time past even when Saul was king, thou, wast he that led out and brought in Israel, —and Yahweh thy God said unto thee, Thou, shalt shepherd my people Israel, Yea, thou, shalt be chief ruler, over my people Israel.
3 Pou sa, tout ansyen nan Israël yo te vin kote wa a Hébron e David te fè yon akò avèk yo Hébron devan SENYÈ a. Epi yo te onksyone David Wa sou Israël, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pwononse pa Samuel la.
Thus came all the elders of Israel unto the king, to Hebron, and David solemnised to them a covenant in Hebron, before Yahweh, —and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh, through Samuel.
4 Konsa, David, avèk tout Israël te ale Jérusalem (sa vle di, Jébus). Jebizyen ki te abite nan peyi yo te la.
Then went David and all Israel to Jerusalem, the same, was Jebus, —where were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.
5 Pèp Jébus la te di a David: “Ou p ap antre isit la.” Malgre sa, David te kaptire fò a Sion an (sa vle di, vil David la).
And the inhabitants of Jebus said unto David, Thou shalt not come in hither, —But David captured the citadel of Zion, the same, is the city of David.
6 Alò, David te pale avan: “Nenpòt moun ki touye yon Jebizyen avan, se li k ap chèf e kòmandan.” Se te Joab, fis a Tseruja a ki te monte avan; konsa li te devni chèf.
And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, first, shall become a chief, and a ruler, —So then Joab son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became a chief.
7 Answit, David te rete nan fò a; pou sa, li te vin rele lavil David la.
And David dwelt in the citadel, —for this cause, did they call it, The City of David.
8 Li te bati vil toutotou li, soti nan Millo menm pou rive nan tout zòn ki te antoure li yo; epi Joab te repare tout rès vil la.
And he built the city round about, from Millo even as far as the circuit, —but, Joab, suffered the remainder of the city to live.
9 David te vin pi gran e pi gran, paske SENYÈ a dèzame yo te avèk li.
Thus did David wax greater and yet greater, —and, Yahweh of Hosts, was with him.
10 Alò, sila yo se chèf an tèt yo, mesye gran pwisans ke David te genyen yo, ki te bay li soutyen fò nan wayòm li a, pou fè l vin wa, selon pawòl a SENYÈ a pa Israël.
Now, these, are the chiefs of the heroes, that pertained to David, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, —according to the word of Yahweh, concerning Israel.
11 Sila yo se chif a mesye gran pwisans ke David te genyen yo: Jaschobeam, fis a yon Akmoni, chèf a trant lan. Li te parèt ak yon sèl lans devan twa-san òm e te touye tout yon sèl kou.
And, this, is the number of the heroes who pertained to David, —Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite, chief of the thirty, the same, brandished his spear over three hundred—slain at one time.
12 Apre li, se te Éléazar, fis a Dodo a, Achochit la, youn nan twa prensipal mesye pwisan yo.
And, after him, was Eleazar son of Dodai, the Ahohite, —he, was among the three heroes;
13 Li te avèk David nan Pas-Damimim lè Filisten yo te rasanble ansanm la pou batay e te gen yon mòso tè plen avèk lòj; epi pèp la te sove ale devan Filisten yo.
he, was with David in Pas-dammim, where, the Philistines, were gathered together to battle, and there was a field-plot full of barley, —and, the people, fled, from before the Philistines;
14 Yo te kanpe pran plas yo nan mitan mòso tè a pou te defann li e li te touye Filisten yo; epi SENYÈ a te delivre yo avèk yon gran viktwa.
so they took their stand in the midst of the plot and rescued it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought a great victory.
15 Alò, twa nan trant mesye chèf yo te desann vè wòch kav Adullam nan, pandan lame Filisten yo t ap fè kan nan vale Rephaïm nan.
And three of the thirty chiefs went down upon the rock, unto David, into the cave of Adullam, —a host of Philistines, being encamped in the vale of Rephaim.
16 Konsa, David te anndan fò a pandan lame Filisten an te Bethléem.
Now, David, then was in the stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, then was in Bethlehem.
17 David te gen yon lanvi, epi te di: “O ke yon moun ban m dlo pou bwè soti nan pwi Bethléem ki akote pòtay la!”
And David longed, and said—Who will give me to drink of the water, out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate?
18 Konsa, twa mesye sa yo te antre nan kan Filisten yo, te rale dlo soti nan pwi Bethléem ki te akote pòtay la e te pran li pou te pote l bay David. Sepandan, David te refize bwè l, men te vide li bay SENYÈ a.
And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would not David drink it, but poured it out unto Yahweh;
19 Konsa, li te di: “Lwen de mwen devan Bondye mwen an pou m ta fè sa. Èske mwen ta bwè san a mesye sila yo ki te riske lavi yo? Paske se avèk gwo danjè lavi yo menm ke yo te pote li.” Pou sa, li te refize bwè l. Se bagay sila yo ke twa mesye pwisan yo te fè.
and said—Far be it from me, of my God, that I should do this! The blood of these men, shall I drink, with their lives? For, with their lives, have they brought it! So he would not drink it. These things, did the three heroes.
20 Epi Abischaï, frè a Joab la te chèf a trant yo ke li te ye e li te voye lans li kont twa san moun e te touye yo. Li te rekonèt menm jan kon trant yo.
And, Abishai brother of Joab—he, was the chief of three, he, having brandished his spear against three hundred—who were slain, —and so, he, had a name among three.
21 Nan trant yo se te li ki te pi rekonèt e te devni kòmandan pa yo; men li pa t rive nan nivo a twa sila yo.
Of the three in the second rank, was he honourable, therefore became he their captain, —though, unto the [first] three, did he not attain.
22 Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, fis a yon mesye gwo kouraj nan Kabtseel, pwisan nan zèv li yo, te frape touye de fis a Ariël yo, Moabit la. Anplis, li te desann touye yon lyon anndan yon fòs nan yon jou ke lanèj t ap tonbe.
Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, hero of many a deed, from Kabziel—he, smote the two [sons] of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, in time of snow;
23 Li te touye yon Ejipsyen, yon nonm gran wotè a senk koude. Alò, nan men Ejipsyen an, te gen yon lans tankou shaf a aparèy tise a; men li te desann kote li avèk yon baton, te sezi lans lan soti nan men Ejipsyen an e te touye li avèk pwòp lans pa li a.
he, also smote an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature, five cubits, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear like a weaver’s beam, so he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slew him with his spear.
24 Bagay sa yo Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te fè e te byen koni menm jan ak twa mesye pwisan yo.
These things, did Benaiah son of Jehoiada, so, he, had a name among three heroes.
25 Gade byen, li te byen onore pami trant yo, men li pa t rive nan nivo a twa sila yo. Konsa, David te apwente l sou gad pa li.
Among the thirty, lo! honourable, was he, but, unto the [first] three, did he not attain, —howbeit David set him over his council.
