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.
It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew 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 of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
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.
He brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to work with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people 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.
Now it happened afterward that there was again war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Rephaim; and they were subdued.
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.
There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
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.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was descended from the Raphah.
7 Lè li te voye defi bay Israël, Jonathan, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te touye li.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah 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 Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
