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 this it came to pass, that David stroke the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of 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 stroke Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.

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.

And David stroke Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by 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.

And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also cut the hamstrings of all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

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

And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty 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 David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David anywhere 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 shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, 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.

Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, 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 Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer 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 Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou; ) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

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.

Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

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

Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

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 put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David anywhere he went.

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

So David reigned over all Israel, and 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;

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.

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 Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was 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.

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
