1 Istwa 18
1 Apre sa, li te vin rive ke David te bat Filisten yo. Li te fè yo soumèt e te pran Gath avèk vil pa li yo nan men a Filisten yo.
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its villages from the hand of the Philistines.
2 Li te bat Moab e Moabit yo te vin sèvitè a David e te pote kontribisyon obligatwa yo.
David also defeated the Moabites, and they became subject to David and brought him tribute.
3 David osi te bat Hadarézer, wa Tsoba a, jis rive Hamath, e li te sòti pou ale etabli wayòm li jis rive nan Rivyè Euphrate la.
As far as Hamath, David also defeated King Hadadezer of Zobah, who had marched out to establish his dominion along the Euphrates River.
4 David te pran nan men Hadarézer, mil cha avèk sèt-mil chevalye ak ven-mil sòlda a pye. David te koupe jarèt a tout cheval a cha yo, men te konsève kont pou rale san cha.
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand charioteers, and twenty thousand foot soldiers, and he hamstrung all the horses except a hundred he kept for the chariots.
5 Lè Siryen nan Damas yo te vini ede Hadarézer, wa Tsoba a, David te touye venn-de-mil òm nan Siryen yo.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David struck down twenty-two thousand men.
6 Konsa, David te fè mete ganizon sòlda pami Siryen nan Damas yo. Siryen yo te vin sèvitè a David e te pote kontribisyon obligatwa. Nenpòt kote li te ale, SENYÈ a te ede David.
Then he placed garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became subject to David and brought him tribute. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
7 David te pran boukliye an lò yo ki te pote pa sèvitè Hadarézer yo pou te pote yo Jérusalem.
And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Osi, soti Thibchath avèk Cun, vil a Hadarézer yo, David te pran yon trè gran kantite bwonz avèk sila Salomon te fè lanmè a an bwonz e pilye avèk zouti yo te fèt an bwonz.
And from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze, with which Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles.
9 Alò, lè Thohu, wa Hamath la, te tande ke David te fin bat tout lame a Hadarézer a, wa Tsoba a,
When King Tou of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10 li te voye Hadoram, fis li a, kote wa David pou salye li e beni li; paske li te goumen kont Hadarézer e te bat li; paske Hadarézer t ap fè lagè avèk Thohu. Epi Hadoram te pote tout kalite bagay an lò avèk ajan ak bwonz.
he sent his son Hadoram to greet King David and bless him for fighting and defeating Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Hadoram brought all kinds of articles of gold and silver and bronze,
11 Wa David te konsakre sa yo osi a SENYÈ a, avèk ajan ak lò ke li te rache pote soti nan men a tout nasyon yo: depi nan Edom, Moab, fis a Ammon yo, Filisten yo ak Amalekit yo.
and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had carried off from all these nations—from Edom and Moab, and from the Ammonites, Philistines, and Amalekites.
12 Anplis, Abischaï, fis a Tseruja a, te bat diz-ui-mil Edomit nan Vale Sèl la.
Moreover, Abishai son of Zeruiah struck down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
13 Epi li te mete ganizon sòlda nan Edom, e tout Edomit yo te devni sèvitè David. Epi SENYÈ a te ede David nenpòt kote li te ale.
He placed garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. So the LORD made David victorious wherever he went.
14 Konsa, David te renye sou tout Israël. Li te administre jistis avèk ladwati pou tout pèp li a.
Thus David reigned over all Israel and administered justice and righteousness for all his people:
15 Joab, fis a Tseruja a, te kòmandan lame a, e Josaphat, fis a Achilud la, te achivist la;
Joab son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder;
16 epi Tsadok, fis a Achithub la avèk Abimélèc, fis a Abiathar a, te prèt, e Schavscha te sekretè;
Zadok son of Ahitub and Ahimelech son of Abiathar were priests; Shavsha was the scribe;
17 epi Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, te chèf sou Keretyen avèk Peletyen yo; epi fis a David yo te premye chèf ansanm akote wa a.
Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief officials at the king’s side.
