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 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
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 perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted over his people Israel.
3 David te pran plis madanm Jérusalem, e David te vin papa a plis fis ak fi.
And David took other wives in Jerusalem: and he beget sons, and daughters.

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 hearing that David was anointed king over all Israel, went all up to seek him: and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Alò, Filisten yo te vini e te fè yon atak nan vale Rephaïm nan.
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the vale of Raphaim.
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 consulted the Lord, 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 hand.
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 when they were come to Baalpharasim, David defeated them there, and he said: God hath divided my enemies by my hand, as waters are divided: and therefore the name of that place was called Baalpharasim.
12 Yo te abandone dye pa yo la. David te bay lòd pou yo te brile yo avèk dife.
And they left there their gods, and David commanded that they should be burnt.
13 Filisten yo te fè yon lòt atak nan vale a.
Another time also the Philistines made an irruption, and spread themselves abroad in the 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 consulted God again, and God said to him: Go not up after them, turn away from them, and come upon them over against 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 when thou shalt hear the sound of one going in the tops of the pear trees, then shalt thou go out to battle. For God is gone out before thee to strike 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 David did as God had commanded him, and defeated the army of the Philistines, slaying them 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 became famous in all countries, and the Lord made all nations fear him.
