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.

And it was to [the] time of [the] return of the year to [the] time of - [the] going out of kings and he lead out Joab [the] army of war and he destroyed - [the] land of [the] people of Ammon and he went and he besieged Rabbah and David [was] remaining in Jerusalem and he struck Joab Rabbah and he 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.

And he took David [the] crown of king their from on head his and he found it - weight of a talent of gold and [was] in it a stone precious and it was on [the] head of David and [the] plunder of the city he brought out much very.

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.

And the people which [was] in it he brought out and he sawed with saw and with [the] sharp instruments of iron and with saws and thus he did David to all [the] cities of [the] people of Ammon and he returned David and all the people 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.

And it was after this and it arose a battle at Gezer with [the] Philistines then he struck down Sibbecai the Hushathite Sippai one of those born of the Rephaites 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.

And it was again a battle with [the] Philistines and he struck down Elhanan [the] son of (Jair *Q(K)*) Lahmi [the] brother of Goliath the Gittite and [the] wood of spear his [was] like a beam of weavers.

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.

And it was again a battle at Gath and he was - a man of stature and digits his [were] six and six twenty and four and also he he was born to Rapha.

7 Lè li te voye defi bay Israël, Jonathan, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te touye li.

And he taunted Israel and he struck down him Jonathan [the] son of Shimea [the] brother of David.

8 Mesye sila yo te jeyan Gath yo e yo te tonbe pa lamen David, ak lamen sèvitè li yo.

These they were born to Rapha in Gath and they fell by [the] hand of David and by [the] hand of servants his.
