1 Istwa 20
1 Li te vin rive nan prentan, nan lè ke wa yo konn sòti fè lagè, ke Joab te mennen sòti lame a, e te ravaje peyi a fis a Ammon yo. Li te vin fè syèj kont Rabba. Men David te rete Jérusalem. Joab te frape Rabba e te boulvèse li nèt.
In spring, at the time of year when kings go out to make war, Joab led the Israelite army in attacks against the country of the Ammonites, also besieging Rabbah. However, David remained behind in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
2 David te retire kouwòn a wa pa yo soti sou tèt li. Li te twouve ke li te peze yon talan lò, e te gen pyè presye yo ladann. Konsa, yo te plase li sou tèt a David. Konsa, li te mennen fè sòti piyaj nan vil la, yon trè gran kantite.
David took the crown from the head of their idol Milcom. It was made of gold, and was set with gems. It weighed a talent and was placed on David's head. David also took a great deal of plunder from the city.
3 Li te mennen fè sòti moun ki te ladann yo, te koupe yo avèk si ak enstriman file e avèk rach. Konsa David te fè a tout vil ki te pou fis a Ammon yo. Alò David avèk tout moun yo te retounen Jérusalem.
David made the people there work with saws, iron picks, and axes. He also did the same to all the Ammonite towns. Then David and all his army returned to Jerusalem.
4 Alò li te vin rive apre sa ke lagè te vin pete nan Guézer avèk Filisten yo. Konsa, Sibbecaï, Oushatit la, te touye Sippaï, youn nan desandan a jeyan yo, e yo te vin soumèt yo.
Some time after this was broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. But then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were forced to submit.
5 Te gen lagè avèk Filisten yo ankò e Elchanan, fis a Jaïr a, te touye frè a Goliath la, Gatit la. Shaf a lans li an te gwo tankou shaf aparèy tise a.
In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan, son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite. The shaft of his spear was as thick as a weaver's rod.
6 Ankò, te gen lagè avèk Gath kote te gen yon nonm gran wotè ki te genyen venn-kat dwèt ak zòtèy, sis avèk sis e li menm, osi, te yon desandan a jeyan yo.
In yet another battle at Gath, there was a gigantic man, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, making twenty-four all. He too was descended from the giants.
7 Lè li te voye defi bay Israël, Jonathan, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te touye li.
But when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
8 Mesye sila yo te jeyan Gath yo e yo te tonbe pa lamen David, ak lamen sèvitè li yo.
These were the descendants of the giants in Gath, abut they were all killed by David and his men.
