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.
After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. He took Gath and its villages out of the Philistines' control.
2 Li te bat Moab e Moabit yo te vin sèvitè a David e te pote kontribisyon obligatwa yo.
Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David and paid 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.
David then defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah at Hamath, as Hadadezer was traveling to establish his rule 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.
David captured from him a thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred chariots.

When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean 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 Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
7 David te pran boukliye an lò yo ki te pote pa sèvitè Hadarézer yo pou te pote yo Jérusalem.
David took the golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants 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.
From Tebah and Kun, cities of Hadadezer, David took very much bronze. It was with this bronze that Solomon later made the bronze basin called “The Sea,” the pillars, and the bronze equipment.
9 Alò, lè Thohu, wa Hamath la, te tande ke David te fin bat tout lame a Hadarézer a, wa Tsoba a,
When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the 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.
and so Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him. He did this because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Tou had often been at war with Hadadezer. Tou also sent David many different sorts of articles made 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 set these objects apart to Yahweh, together with the silver and the gold that he carried away from all the nations: Edom, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12 Anplis, Abischaï, fis a Tseruja a, te bat diz-ui-mil Edomit nan Vale Sèl la.
Abishai son of Zeruiah killed 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 became David's servants. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
14 Konsa, David te renye sou tout Israël. Li te administre jistis avèk ladwati pou tout pèp li a.
David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice 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;
Joab son of Zeruiah was the commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was 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, 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.
