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 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, for his kingdom was exalted 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 begat 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 inquired 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; for 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.
So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
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 inquired again of God: and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against 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 thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shalt go out to battle: for God hath gone forth before thee to smite 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 smote 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.
