2 Samyèl 10

1 Li te vin rive apre ke wa a Amoreyen an te mouri e Hanun, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.

And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon his son reigned in his stead.

2 Konsa, David te di: “Mwen va montre bòn volonte mwen a Hanun, fis a Nachasch la, jis jan ke papa li te montre m bòn volonte a.” Konsa, David te voye kèk nan sèvitè li yo pou konsole li konsènan papa li. Konsa, sèvitè a David yo te rive nan peyi Amonit yo.

And David said, I will show mercy to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants; and the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon.

3 Men prens a Amonit yo te di a Hanun, mèt pa yo a: “Èske ou kwè ke David ap onore papa ou akoz li te voye moun konsole ou? Èske David pa t pito voye sèvitè li yo kote ou pou fè ankèt vil la, pou espyone ak boulvèse li?”

And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Annon their lord, [Is it] to honour your father before you that David has sent comforters to you? Has not David rather sent his servants to you that they should search the city, and spy it out and examine it?

4 Konsa, Hanun te pran sèvitè a David yo, li te pase razwa sou mwatye bab yo, li te koupe manto yo jis rive nan mitan kote kwis yo, e li te voye yo ale.

And Annon took the servants of David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst as far as their haunches, and sent them away.

5 Lè yo te pale David sa, li te voye rankontre yo, paske mesye yo te imilye anpil. Epi wa a te di: “Rete Jéricho jiskaske bab nou vin pouse e konsa, retounen.”

And they brought David word concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly dishonoured: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have grown, and [then] you shall return.

6 Alò, lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke yo te vin rayisab devan David, fis a Ammon yo te voye anplwaye Siryen yo Beth-Rehob e Siryen yo a Tsoba, ven-mil sòlda a pye, wa Macca avèk mil lòm e mesye a Tob yo avèk douz-mil lòm.

And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and hired the Syrians of Baethraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob with twelve thousand men.

7 Lè David te tande sa, li te voye Joab avèk tout lame mesye vanyan yo.

And David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, [even] the mighty men.

8 Fis a Ammon yo te vin parèt. Yo te ranje yo nan chan batay la devan antre vil la, pandan Siryen a Tsoba yo avèk Rehob, mesye a Tob yo avèk Maaca pou kont yo te nan chan an.

And the children of Ammon went forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: [those] of Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being by themselves in the field.

9 Alò, lè Joab te wè ke batay la te ranje kont li pa devan kon pa dèyè, li te seleksyone pami mesye pi chwazi an Israël yo pou te ranje yo kont Siryen yo.

And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from behind, and he chose out [some] of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against Syria.

10 Men rès nan pèp la, li te plase yo nan men Abischaï, frè li a e li te ranje yo kont fis Ammon yo.

And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in array opposite to the children of Ammon.

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

And he said, If Syria be too strong for me, then shall you help me: and if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then will we be ready to help you.

12 Pran kouraj e kite nou parèt ak tout fòs nou pou koz a pèp nou an e pou vil Bondye pa nou an. Ke SENYÈ a kapab fè sa ki bon nan zye Li.”

Be you courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes.

13 Konsa, Joab avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te rapwoche nan batay la kont Siryen yo e yo te sove ale devan yo.

And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him.

14 Lè fis a Ammon yo te wè ke Siryen yo te sove ale, yo osi te sove ale devan Abischaï e te antre nan vil la. Alò, Joab te retounen sispann goumen kont fis a Ammon yo pou te rive kote Jérusalem.

And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

15 Lè Siryen yo te wè ke yo te fin bat pa Israël, yo te vin rasanble ansanm.

And the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together.

16 Epi Hadarézer te voye chache Siryen ki te pi lwen Rivyè Euphrate la pou yo te vini Hélam. Schobac, Kòmandan a lame a Hadarézer a te sou tèt yo.

And Adraazar sent and gathered the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to Aelam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar [was] at their head.

17 Alò, lè sa te pale a David, li te rasanble tout Israël ansanm e te travèse Jourdain an pou te rive vè Hélam. Konsa, Siryen yo te alinye yo pou rankontre David e te goumen kont li.

And it was reported to David, and he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Aelam: and the Syrians set the battle in array against David, and fought with him.

18 Men Siryen yo te sove ale devan Israël. David te touye sèt-san mèt a cha Siryen, karant-mil chevalye e te frape fè desann Schobac, kòmandan lame pa yo a, e li te mouri la.

And Syria fled from before Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and he struck Sobac the captain of his host, and he died there.

19 Lè tout wa yo, sèvitè a Hadarézer yo te wè ke yo te pèdi devan Israël, yo te fè lapè avèk Israël pou te sèvi yo. Konsa, Siryen yo te vin gen krent pou ede fis a Ammon yo ankò.

And all the kings the servants of Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
