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.

Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them, and he took Gath and her daughters 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.

And he struck Moab. And the Moabites became the servants of David, offering gifts to him.

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.

In that time, David also struck Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, in the region of Hamath, when he went forth so that he might extend his dominion as far as the river Euphrates.

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.

Then David seized one thousand of his four-horse chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, except for one hundred four-horse chariots, which he reserved for himself.

5 Lè Siryen nan Damas yo te vini ede Hadarézer, wa Tsoba a, David te touye venn-de-mil òm nan Siryen yo.

Then the Syrians of Damascus also arrived, so that they might offer assistance to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And so, David then struck of them 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.

And he stationed soldiers in Damascus, so that Syria also would serve him, and would offer gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all the things to which he went forth.

7 David te pran boukliye an lò yo ki te pote pa sèvitè Hadarézer yo pou te pote yo Jérusalem.

Also, David took the golden quivers, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he 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.

In addition, from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, he brought very much brass, from which Solomon made the sea of brass, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

9 Alò, lè Thohu, wa Hamath la, te tande ke David te fin bat tout lame a Hadarézer a, wa Tsoba a,

Now when Toi, the king of Hamath, had heard this, specifically that David had struck the entire army of Hadadezer, the 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 king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.

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.

Moreover, all the vessels of gold and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, as much from Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines and Amalek.

12 Anplis, Abischaï, fis a Tseruja a, te bat diz-ui-mil Edomit nan Vale Sèl la.

Truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of the Salt Pits.

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.

And he stationed a garrison in Edom, so that Idumea would serve David. And the Lord saved David in all the things to which he went forth.

14 Konsa, David te renye sou tout Israël. Li te administre jistis avèk ladwati pou tout pèp li a.

Therefore, David reigned over all of Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people.

15 Joab, fis a Tseruja a, te kòmandan lame a, e Josaphat, fis a Achilud la, te achivist la;

Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the army, and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.

16 epi Tsadok, fis a Achithub la avèk Abimélèc, fis a Abiathar a, te prèt, e Schavscha te sekretè;

And Zadok, the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests. And 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.

Also, Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were first at the hand of the king.
