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.

And it comes to pass after this, that David strikes the Philistines, and humbles them, and takes Gath and its small 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 strikes Moab, and the Moabites are servants to David, bringing a present.

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 strikes Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, in his going to establish his power by 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.

and David captures from him one thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David utterly destroys all the chariots, and leaves of them [only] one 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 Aram of Damascus comes to give help to Hadarezer king of Zobah, and David strikes twenty-two thousand men in Aram,

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 David puts [garrisons] in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans are for servants to David, carrying a present, and YHWH gives salvation to David wherever he has gone.

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

And David takes the shields of gold that have been on the servants of Hadarezer, and brings 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 from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David has taken very much bronze; with it Solomon has made the bronze sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.

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

And Tou king of Hamath hears that David has struck the whole force 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.

and he sends his son Hadoram to King David, to ask of him of peace, and to bless him, because that he has fought against Hadarezer and strikes him (for Hadarezer had been a man of wars with Tou); and [with him were] all kinds of vessels, 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.

King David has also sanctified them to YHWH with the silver and the gold that he has taken from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons 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.

And Abishai son of Zeruiah has struck Edom 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 puts garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites are servants to David; and YHWH saves David wherever he has gone.

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

And David reigns over all Israel, and he is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,

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

and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer,

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

and Zadok son of Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar [are] priests, and Shavsha [is] 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 son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the chief sons of David [are] at the hand of the king.
