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 came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that Joab led the army into battle and devastated the land of the Ammonites. He went and besieged Rabbah. David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and defeated 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 he found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones. The crown was set on David's head, and he brought out the plunder of the city in large quantities.
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 out the people who were in the city and forced them to work with saws and iron picks and axes. David required all the cities of the people of Ammon to do this labor. Then David and all the 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.
It came about after this that there was a battle at Gezer with the Philistines. Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaim, and the Philistines 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.
It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed Lahmi 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.
It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
7 Lè li te voye defi bay Israël, Jonathan, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te touye li.
When he mocked the army of Israel, Jehonadab 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 descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
