1 Istwa 14
1 Alò Hiram, wa Tyr a, te voye mesaje yo kote David avèk bwa sèd yo, mason ak chapant pou bati yon kay pou li.
And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.
2 Epi David te vin rekonèt ke SENYÈ a te etabli li kon wa sou Israël, epi ke wayòm li te a egzalte byen wo pou koz pèp li a, Israël.
And David knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account of his people Israel.
3 David te pran plis madanm Jérusalem, e David te vin papa a plis fis ak fi.
And David took more wives in Jerusalem: and there were born to David more sons and daughters.
4 Sila yo se non a pitit ki ne a li menm Jérusalem yo: Schammau, Schobab, Nathan, Salomon,
And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Élischua, Elphéleth,
and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,
6 Noga, Népheg, Japhia,
and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,
7 Élischama, Beéliada ak Éliphéleth.
and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.
8 Lè Filisten yo te tande ke David te onksyone wa sou tout Israël, tout Filisten yo te monte pou rankontre David. Lè David te tande sa li te sòti kont yo.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.
9 Alò, Filisten yo te vini e te fè yon atak nan vale Rephaïm nan.
And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.
10 David te mande Bondye, epi te di: “Èske mwen dwe monte kont Filisten yo? Èske Ou va livre yo nan men m?” SENYÈ a te di li: “Monte, paske Mwen va livre yo nan men ou.”
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into thy hands.
11 Konsa, yo te rive monte Baal-Peratsim, e David te bat yo la. David te di: “Bondye te kraze lènmi mwen yo pa men mwen kon dlo k ap pete.” Pou sa, yo te rele plas sa a Baal-Peratsim.
And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David smote them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.
12 Yo te abandone dye pa yo la. David te bay lòd pou yo te brile yo avèk dife.
And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.
13 Filisten yo te fè yon lòt atak nan vale a.
And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' valley.
14 David te mande a Bondye ankò e Bondye te di li: “Ou pa pou monte kont yo. Ansèkle yo pa dèyè e vini sou yo devan pye balzam yo.
And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, Thou shalt not go after them; turn away from them, and thou shalt come upon them near the pear trees.
15 Li va vin rive ke lè ou tande son mache a nan tèt pye balzam yo, alò, ou va sòti nan batay la; paske Bondye va gen tan sòti devan ou pou frape lame Filisten yo.”
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then thou shalt go into the battle: for God has gone out before thee to smite the army of the Philistines.
16 David te fè menm sa ke Bondye te kòmande li. Yo te frape desann lame Filisten yo soti Gabaon jis rive menm nan Guézer.
And he did as God commanded him: and he smote the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 Rekonesans a David te sòti rive nan tout peyi yo, epi SENYÈ a te mennen lakrent li sou tout nasyon yo.
And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
