1 Istwa 19

1 Alò, li te vin rive apre sa, ke Nachasch, wa a fis a Ammon yo te mouri e fis li a te devni wa nan plas li.

And it was after thus and he died Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and he reigned son his in place of him.

2 Epi David te di: “Mwen va montre favè a Hanun, fis a Nachasch la, akoz papa li te montre m favè.” Pou sa, David te voye mesaje pou konsole li selon lanmò papa li. Sèvitè David yo te antre nan peye fis a Ammon yo pou konsole Hanun.

And he said David I will do loyalty - with Hanun [the] son of Nahash for he did father his with me loyalty and he sent David messengers to comfort him on father his and they came [the] servants of David into [the] land of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him.

3 Men chèf a fis a Ammon yo te di a Hanun: “Èske ou kwè ke David ap bay papa ou onè akoz li voye moun rekonfòte yo? Èske sèvitè li yo pa vin kote ou pou chèche fè espyonaj pou boulvèse peyi a?”

And they said [the] officials of [the] people of Ammon to Hanun ¿ [is] honoring David father your in view your for he has sent to you comforters ¿ not in order to explore and to overthrow and to spy out the land have they come servants his to you.

4 Epi Hanun te pran sèvitè David yo e te taye tout cheve yo, koupe vètman yo nan mitan jis rive nan kwis e te voye yo ale.

And he took Hanun [the] servants of David and he shaved them and he cut off robes their in the middle to the buttock[s] and he sent away them.

5 Alò, kèk moun te ale pale David konsènan afè mesye yo. Epi li te voye rankontre yo, paske mesye sa yo te byen wont. Epi wa a te di: “Rete Jéricho jiskaske bab nou vin grandi ankò e retounen.”

And people went and they told to David on the men and he sent to meet them for they were the men humiliated exceedingly and he said the king remain at Jericho until that it will grow back beard your and you will return.

6 Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke yo te fè tèt yo rayisab a David, Hanun avèk fis a Ammon yo te voye mil talan ajan Mésopotamie pou achte sèvis a cha avèk chevalye Siryen ki te sòti nan Maaca avèk Tsoba.

And they saw [the] people of Ammon that they had made themselves odious with David and he sent Hanun and [the] people of Ammon one thousand talent[s] of silver to hire for themselves from Aram Naharaim and from Aram Maacah and from Zobah chariotry and horsemen.

7 Konsa, yo te achte sèvis a trann-de-mil cha e wa Maaca a avèk pèp li a, ki te vin fè kan devan Médeba a. Fis a Ammon yo te rasanble soti nan vil pa yo pou te vin batay.

And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariot[s] and [the] king of Maacah and people his and they came and they encamped before Medeba and [the] people of Ammon they gathered from cities their and they came for battle.

8 Lè David tande sa, li te voye Joab avèk tout lame, mesye pwisan yo.

And he heard David and he sent Joab and all [the] army the warriors.

9 Fis a Ammon yo te vin parèt, te rale yo nan chan batay la nan antre vil la e wa ki te vini yo te la apa pou kont yo nan chan an.

And they went out [the] people of Ammon and they deployed battle [the] entrance of the city and the kings who they had come to alone them [were] in the open country.

10 Alò, lè Joab te wè ke batay la te prepare kont li ni devan, ni dèyè; li te chwazi soti nan mesye pi chwazi pami tout Israël yo e yo te alinye yo kont Siryen yo.

And he saw Joab that it was [the] face of the battle against him face and back and he chose from every chosen [man] in Israel and he deployed to meet Aram.

11 Men retay a pèp la, li te plase nan men Abischaï, frè li a; epi yo te alinye yo kont fis Ammon yo.

And [the] rest of the people he put in [the] hand of Abishai brother his and they deployed to meet [the] people of Ammon.

12 Li te di: “Si Siryen yo twò fò pou mwen, alò ou va ede m; men si fis a Ammon twò fò pou ou; alò, mwen va ede ou.

And he said if it will be [too] strong for me Aram and you will become for me deliverance. And if [the] people of Ammon they will be [too] strong for you and I will deliver you.

13 Kenbe fèm e annou montre kouraj nou pou koz pèp nou ak pou vil Bondye pa nou yo. Epi ke SENYÈ a va fè sa ki bon nan zye li.”

Be strong so let us show ourselves strong for people our and for [the] cities of God our and Yahweh the good in view his he will do.

14 Konsa, Joab avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te ale toupre batay la kont Siryen yo e yo te sove ale devan li.

And he drew near Joab and the people which [was] with him before Aram for battle and they fled from before him.

15 Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke Siryen yo te sove ale, yo te sove ale osi devan Abischaï, frè li a e te antre lavil la. Epi Joab te vini Jérusalem.

And [the] people of Ammon they saw that it had fled Aram and they fled also they from before Abishai brother his and they went the city towards and he went Joab Jerusalem.

16 Lè Siryen yo te wè ke yo te bat pa Israël, yo te voye mesaje pou te mennen fè sòti Siryen ki te lòtbò Rivyè a, avèk Schophach, chèf lame Hadarézer ki t ap dirije yo a.

And it saw Aram that they had been defeated before Israel and they sent messengers and they brought out Aram which [was] from [the] other side of the river and Shophach [the] commander of [the] army of Hadadezer [was] before them.

17 Lè bagay sa a te pale a David, li te ranmase tout Israël ansanm, te travèse Jourdain an, te vin parèt sou yo e te rale nan fòmasyon batay kont yo a. Epi lè David te rale nan fòmasyon batay la kont Siryen yo, yo te goumen kont li.

And it was told to David and he gathered all Israel and he passed over the Jordan and he came to them and he deployed against them and he deployed David to meet Aram battle and they fought with him.

18 Siryen yo te sove ale devan Israël e David te touye nan Siryen yo, sèt-mil mèt cha avèk karant-mil sòlda a pye e te mete a lanmò Schophach, chèf lame a.

And it fled Aram from to before Israel and he killed David of Aram seven thousand charioteer[s] and forty thousand man on foot and Shophach [the] commander of the army he killed.

19 Konsa, lè sèvitè a Hadarézer yo te wè ke yo te fin bat pa Israël, yo te fè lapè avèk David e te sèvi li. Konsa, Siryen yo pa t janm dakò ankò pou ede fis a Ammon yo.

And they saw [the] servants of Hadadezer that they had been defeated before Israel and they made peace with David and they served him and not it was willing Aram to deliver [the] people of Ammon again.
