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.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with stone workers and carpenters, to build him an 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, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because 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 at Jerusalem: and David brings forth more sons and daughters.
4 Sila yo se non a pitit ki ne a li menm Jérusalem yo: Schammau, Schobab, Nathan, Salomon,
Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Élischua, Elphéleth,
And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
6 Noga, Népheg, Japhia,
And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
7 Élischama, Beéliada ak Éliphéleth.
And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
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 when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. 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 valley of Rephaim.
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 will you deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your 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.
So they came up to Baalperazim; and David stroke them there. Then David said, God has broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking out of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
12 Yo te abandone dye pa yo la. David te bay lòd pou yo te brile yo avèk dife.
And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
13 Filisten yo te fè yon lòt atak nan vale a.
And the Philistines yet again 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.
Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them opposite to the mulberry 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 you shall hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle: for God is gone forth before you to strike the host 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.
David therefore did as God commanded him: and they stroke the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
17 Rekonesans a David te sòti rive nan tout peyi yo, epi SENYÈ a te mennen lakrent li sou tout nasyon yo.
And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
