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 all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.
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.’”
In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince 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.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh. They anointed David king over Israel, according to Yahweh’s word by Samuel.
4 Konsa, David, avèk tout Israël te ale Jérusalem (sa vle di, Jébus). Jebizyen ki te abite nan peyi yo te la.
David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (also called Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
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).
The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is David’s city.
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.
David had said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
7 Answit, David te rete nan fò a; pou sa, li te vin rele lavil David la.
David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it David’s city.
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.
He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 David te vin pi gran e pi gran, paske SENYÈ a dèzame yo te avèk li.
David grew greater and greater, for Yahweh of Armies 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 chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to Yahweh’s word 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.
This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.
12 Apre li, se te Éléazar, fis a Dodo a, Achochit la, youn nan twa prensipal mesye pwisan yo.
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.
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 at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where there was a plot of ground 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.
They stood in the middle of the plot, defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by 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.
Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16 Konsa, David te anndan fò a pandan lame Filisten an te Bethléem.
David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem at that time.
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!”
David longed, and said, “Oh, that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by 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.
The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink any of it, but poured it out to 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, “My God forbid me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
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.
Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the 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, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain; however he wasn’t included in the three.
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 the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.
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 killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
24 Bagay sa yo Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te fè e te byen koni menm jan ak twa mesye pwisan yo.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things and had a name among the three mighty men.
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.
Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three; and David set him over his guard.
