2 Samyèl 15
1 Alò, li te rive apre sa ke Absalom te fè pwovizyon pou tèt li yon cha avèk cheval ak senkant mesye pou kouri devan li.
And after this Absalom began to furnish himself with a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 Absalom te konn leve granmmaten e kanpe akote chemen an devan pòtay la. Konsa, lè yon moun ta gen yon pwosè, e te vin kote wa a pou jijman, Absalom te rele li e di: “Nan ki vil ou sòti?” Epi li ta di: “Sèvitè ou a sòti nan youn nan tribi Israël yo.”
And Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road. Then when anyone had a dispute which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom would call out to him and say, "What city are you from?" When he said, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,"
3 Alò, Absalom ta di a li: “Ou wè, ka ou yo bon e jis; men nanpwen pèsòn ki pou koute ou nan non a wa a.”
then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your matters are good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you."
4 Anplis, Absalom te di: “Oswa ke yon moun ta chwazi mwen jij nan peyi a; alò, konsa chak moun ki te gen yon ka oswa yon pwosè ta kapab vin kote mwen e mwen ta ba li jistis.”
And Absalom would say, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, then anyone who had a dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice."
5 Epi lè yon mesye ta vin kote li pou bese li menm devan li, li ta lonje men li, kenbe li e bo li.
It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he would extend his hand and embrace him, and kiss him.
6 Nan jan sa a, Absalom te konn aji avèk tout Israël lè yo te pwoche wa a pou jijman. Konsa, Absalom te vòlè kè a mesye Israël yo.
Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 Alò, li te rive ke nan fen karant ane ke Absalom te di a Wa a: “Souple, kite mwen ale peye ve ke m te fè a SENYÈ a, nan Hébron.
It happened at the end of four years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Jehovah, in Hebron.
8 Paske sèvitè ou a te fè yon ve pandan mwen t ap viv Gueschur Aram, e li te di: ‘Si SENYÈ a va vrèman mennen mwen retounen Jérusalem; alò, mwen va sèvi SENYÈ a’”.
For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If Jehovah will bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah in Hebron.'"
9 Wa a te di li: “Ale anpè.” Konsa, li te leve ale Hébron.
The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.
10 Men Absalom te voye espyon toupatou pami tout tribi Israël yo. Li te di: “Depi ou tande son a twonpèt la, alò, ou va di: ‘Absalom se wa nan Hébron.’”
But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'"
11 Konsa, de-san mesye yo te ale avèk Absalom soti Jérusalem. Yo te envite; yo te ale nan inosans, san yo pa konnen anyen.
Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.
12 Epi Absalom te voye pou Achitophel, Gilonit lan, konseye David, soti nan vil pa li nan Guilo, pandan li t ap ofri sakrifis yo. Konplo a te fò, paske moun avèk Absalom yo te kontinye vin plis.
And he sent and invited Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh, where he was offering sacrifice. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 Alò, yon mesaje te vin kote David. Li te di: “Kè a mesye Israël yo avèk Absalom.”
A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."
14 Konsa, David te di a tout sèvitè ki te avèk li yo Jérusalem: “Leve e annou sove ale, paske si se pa sa, nanpwen nan nou ki va chape de Absalom. Ale vit, oswa li va rive sou nou byen vit, fè gwo malè rive sou nou e frape vil la avèk lam nepe.”
So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, otherwise none of us shall escape from Absalom. Go immediately, or else he will quickly overtake us and bring down the city on top of us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."
15 Alò, sèvitè a wa yo te di a wa a: “Gade, sèvitè ou yo va fè nenpòt sa ke wa a vle.”
Then the king's servants said to him, "Look, your servants are ready to do whatever the king chooses."
16 Konsa, wa a te sòti avèk tout manm lakay li avèk li. Men wa a te kite dis nan ti mennaj li yo pou pran swen kay la.
And the king went out with all his household following him. But the king left ten women, who were secondary wives, to take care of the palace.
17 Wa a te sòti e tout pèp la avèk li, e yo te rete nan dènye kay la.
So the king went out with all his servants following him, and they stopped at the last house.
18 Alò, tout sèvitè li yo te pase akote li, tout Keretyen yo avèk tout Peletyen yo ak tout Gatyen yo, sis-san moun ki te vini avèk li soti Gath, te pase devan wa a.
And all the people passed on before him. And all those with him, all the officers and warriors, were six hundred men, and they passed on before him. And when all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites who followed him from Gath passed on before the king.
19 Alò, wa a te di a Ittaï, Gatyen an: “Poukisa ou ta ale avèk nou tou? Retounen rete avèk wa a; paske ou se yon etranje e yon egzile de pwòp plas ou.
Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and you also are an exile from your place.
20 Ayè ou te vini e èske, jodi a, mwen ta dwe fè ou mache egare avèk nou pandan mwen prale kote mwen prale a? Retounen reprann frè ou yo. Ke gras avèk verite kapab avèk ou.”
You came only yesterday. Should I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back, and take your brothers with you, and may Jehovah show you kindness and truth."
21 Men Ittaï te reponn wa a. Li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, anverite, nenpòt kote ke mèt mwen an, wa a, ye, kit pou mouri, kit pou viv, se la tou sèvitè ou a va ye.”
Ittai answered the king, and said, "As Jehovah lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be."
22 Pou sa, David te di Ittaï: “Ale, janbe lòtbò.” Konsa Ittaï, Gatyen an te janbe avèk tout mesye pa li yo ak tout pitit ki te avèk li yo.
So David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." Then Ittai passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.
23 Pandan tout peyi a t ap kriye avèk gwo vwa, tout pèp la te pase janbe. Wa a tou te pase janbe flèv Cédron an, e tout pèp la te pase janbe lòtbò vè chemen dezè a.
And all the land wept aloud as all the people crossed over. And the king crossed the Wadi Kidron, and all the people passed before him on the Olive road into the wilderness.
24 Alò, gade byen, Tsadok te parèt tou, ansanm avèk tout Levit ki t ap pote lach akò Bondye a. Epi yo te poze lach Bondye a e Abithar te monte la jiskaske tout pèp la te fin kite vil la.
And look, Zadok also came (and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah) and Abiathar. And they set down the ark of God until all the people finished passing by from the city.
25 Wa a te di a Tsadok: “Retounen lach Bondye a nan vil la. Si mwen jwenn favè nan zye Bondye; alò, Li va mennen mwen retounen ankò pou montre mwen a Li menm e a abitasyon pa Li a.
The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me back and show me both it and his dwelling place;
26 Men si Li ta di konsa: ‘Mwen pa gen kè kontan avè w’, gade byen, men mwen, kite Li fè sa ki sanble bon pou Li menm.”
but if he should say, 'I have no delight in you;' look, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him."
27 Wa a te di osi a Tsadok, prèt la: “Èske se pa yon divinò ke ou ye? Retounen nan vil la anpè, de fis ou yo avèk ou, fis ou Achimaats, avèk Jonathan, fis a Abiathar a.
And the king said also to Zadok the priest, "Look, you return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 Gade, mwen pral tann nan pasaj dezè a jiskaske pawòl ou rive enfòme mwen.”
Look, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."
29 Pou sa, Tsadok avèk Abiathar te retounen lach Bondye a Jérusalem e te rete la.
So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark to Jerusalem and returned it there.
30 Epi David te monte pant a Mòn Oliv la. Li t ap kriye pandan li t ap monte, tèt li te kouvri e li te mache pye atè. Alò, nan tout moun ki te avèk li yo, chak moun te kouvri tèt yo e t ap monte avèk gwo kriye pandan yo t ap prale.
And David went up by the Ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went, and he had his head covered and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up weeping as they went.
31 Alò, yon moun te pale David e te di: “Achitophel se pami konplotè avèk Absalom yo.” Epi David te di: “O SENYÈ, mwen priye, redwi a foli tout konsèy a Achitophel la.”
And it had been told to David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "Jehovah, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."
32 Li te rive pandan David t ap pwoche krèt mòn nan, kote yo adore Bondye a, ke vwala, Huschaï, Achit la, te rankontre li avèk manto li chire ak pousyè sou tèt li.
It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, look, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
33 David te di li: “Si ou janbe lòtbò avè m; alò, ou va ankonbre m.
David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;
34 Men si ou retounen lavil la e di a Absalom: ‘Mwen va sèvi ou, O wa a. Jan mwen te sèvi papa ou nan tan pase a, konsa, mwen va koulye a, devni sèvitè pa ou’, konsa, ou kapab vin kontrekare konsèy Achitophel la pou mwen.
but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'Your brothers have left, O king, after your father left, and now I am your servant, O king. Allow me to live. As I have been your father's servant in the past, so now I am your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
35 Èske Tsadok avèk Abiathar se pa prèt ki avèk ou la a? Pou sa, nenpòt sa ou tande soti lakay wa a, ou va bay rapò a Tsadok avèk Abaithar, prèt yo.
And look, Zadok and Abiathar the priests will be there with you. So whatever you hear from the king's house you must tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 Gade byen, de fis pa yo a avèk yo la a, Achimaats, fis a Tsadok a e Jonathan, fis a Abaithar a; epi pa yo menm, ou va voye ban mwen tout bagay ke ou tande yo.”
Look, their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. And by them you must send to me everything that you hear."
37 Konsa, Huschaï, zanmi a David la, te antre nan vil la, e Absalom te vini Jérusalem.
So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
