2 Samyèl 16
1 Alò, lè David te fin depase krèt la, vwala, Tsiba, sèvitè a Méphiboscheth la te rankontre li avèk yon pè bourik avèk makout. Sou yo, te gen de-san pen, yon santèn grap rezen, yon santèn fwi gran sezon ak yon veso diven.
Now, David, had passed on but a little from the summit, when lo! Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth, met him, —with a couple of asses saddled, and, upon them, two hundred cakes of bread, and one hundred cakes of raisins, and one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
2 Wa a te di a Tsiba: “Poukisa ou genyen sila yo?” Epi Tsiba te di: “Bourik yo se pou manm lakay wa yo monte, pen avèk fwi gran sezon an se pou jennonm yo manje e diven an se pou nenpòt moun ki fin pèdi fòs nan dezè a kab bwè.”
And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou, by these? And Ziba said—The asses, are for the king’s household, to ride on, and, the bread and the summer fruits, are for the young men to eat, and, the wine, is for drink to such as are faint in the wilderness.
3 Alò, wa a te di: “Epi kote fis a mèt ou a?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Men vwala, li rete Jérusalem paske li te di: ‘Jodi a, lakay Israël la va restore wayòm papa m nan a mwen menm.’”
Then said the king, And where is thy lord’s son? And Ziba said unto the king—Lo! abiding in Jerusalem, for he said, To-day, will the house of Israel, restore unto me, the kingdom of my father.
4 Konsa, wa a te di a Tsiba: “Men vwala, tout sa ki apatyen a Méphiboscheth se pou ou.” Epi Tsiba te di: “Mwen vin bese devan ou nèt; kite mwen twouve gras nan zye ou, O mèt mwen, wa a!”
Then said the king unto Ziba, Lo! thine, is all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said—I have done homage, that I might find favour in thine eyes, my lord O king.
5 Lè Wa David te rive Bachurim, gade byen, te sòti depi la yon mesye ki sòti nan fanmi Saül ki te rele Schimeï, fis a Guéra a. Li te parèt ak pawòl madichon san rete pandan li t ap pwoche.
And, when King David had come as far as Bahurim, lo! from thence a man coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, whose name, was Shimei son of Gera, coming out and cursing as he came.
6 Li te jete wòch sou David, sou tout sèvitè a Wa David yo e tout mesye gran kouraj yo te sou men dwat li ak sou men goch li.
And he pelted, with stones, David and all the servants of King David, —all the people, and all the mighty men, being on his right hand and on his left.
7 Konsa, Schimeï te di pandan li t ap voye madichon yo: “Sòti la, sòti la, moun ki vèse san, sanzave!
And, thus, said Shimei, when he cursed, —Out! Out! thou man of bloodshed, and man of the Abandoned One!
8 SENYÈ a gen tan mete sou ou tout san koule lakay Saül, nan plas kote ou te renye a! SENYÈ a te lage wayòm nan nan men fis ou, Absalom. Epi gade, ou pran nan pwòp mechanste ou, paske ou se yon nonm ki vèse san!”
Yahweh, hath brought back upon thee, all the shed-blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned, and Yahweh hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absolom thy son, —and, here thou art, in thy ruin, for that, a man of bloodshed, thou art.
9 Alò, Abischai, fis a Tseruja a te di a wa a: “Poukisa chen mouri sa a ta dwe modi mèt mwen an, wa a? Kite mwen janbe ale koupe tèt li.”
Then said Abishai, son of Zeruiah, unto the king—Wherefore should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I pray thee, let me cross over and take off his head.
10 Men wa a te di: “Kisa mwen gen avè w, O fis a Tseruja? Si li bay madichon, e si SENYÈ a te di li ‘Modi David’, alò, se kilès k ap di: ‘Poukisa ou te fè sa?’”
But the king said, What have I in common with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? thus, he curseth, because, Yahweh, hath said unto him—Curse David. Who then can say, Why hast thou done thus?
11 Alò, David te di a Abischaï e a tout sèvitè li yo: “Gade, fis mwen ki te sòti nan mwen an koulye a ap chache lavi m. Konbyen anplis pou Benjamit sila a? Kite li e kite li bay madichon, paske SENYÈ a te pale li.
Then said David unto Abishai, and unto all his servants, Lo! my own son who sprang from my body, is seeking my life, —then how much more, now, a Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse, for, Yahweh, hath permitted him.
12 Petèt SENYÈ a va gade afliksyon mwen e remete m bon olye madichon pa sila a nan jou sa a.”
It may be, that Yahweh will behold with his eye, —and that Yahweh will return me good, for his cursing this day.
13 Konsa, David avèk mesye pa li yo te fè wout yo. Epi Schimeï te mache akote pant mòn nan vizavi de yo menm. Pandan li t ap prale, li te modi, li te jete wòch, e li te jete pousyè bò kote li.
And, when David and his men went along in the way, Shimei, was going along on the side of the hill over against him, cursing as he went, pelting him with stones, and throwing dust.
14 Wa a avèk tout moun ki te avèk li yo te rive byen fatige, e yo te vin rafrechi la.
And the king and all the people that were with him arrived, weary, —and they refreshed themselves there.
15 Alò, Absalom avèk tout pèp la, mesye Israël yo te antre Jérusalem e Achitophel avèk li.
And, Absolom and all the men of Israel, entered Jerusalem, —and Ahithophel with him.
16 Konsa, li te vin rive lè Huschaï, Akyen an, zanmi a David la te rive kote Absalom, ke Huschaï te di: “Viv wa a! Viv wa a!”
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, the friend of David, came in unto Absolom, that Hushai said unto Absolom: Long live the king! Long live the king!
17 Absalom te di Huschaï: “Èske sa se fidelite ou pou zanmi ou? Poukisa ou pa t ale avèk zanmi ou an?”
Then said Absolom unto Hushai, Is, this, thy lovingkindness unto thy friend? Wherefore wentest thou not with thy friend?
18 Epi Huschaï te di a Absalom: “Non, paske sila ke SENYÈ a, pèp sa a e tout mesye Israël yo te chwazi a, se pou li menm, mwen va ye, e avèk li menm, mwen va rete.
And Hushai said unto Absolom, Nay! but, whom Yahweh, and all this people, and the men of Israel have chosen, his, will I be, and, with him, will I dwell.
19 Anplis de sa, se kilès pou m ta sèvi? Se pa nan prezans a fis li a? Jis jan ke m te sèvi nan prezans papa ou a, konsa mwen va ye nan prezans pa w.”
And, again, whom, should, I serve? Should it not be in presence of his son? as I served in presence of thy father, so, will I continue thy presence.
20 Alò, Absalom te di a Achitophel: “Ban m konsèy pa w Kisa nou dwe fè?”
Then said Absolom unto Ahithophel, —Give ye your counsel, what we shall do.
21 Achitophel te di a Absalom: “Antre nan ti mennaj papa ou te lese pou okipe kay la; epi tout Israël va tande ke ou te fè tèt ou rayisab a papa ou. Anplis, men a tout sila ki avèk ou yo va vin ranfòse.”
And Ahithophel said unto Absolom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, whom he hath left to keep the house, —so shall all Israel hear that thou hast made thyself odious unto thy father, and the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strengthened.
22 Konsa yo te monte yon tant anwo tèt kay la, epi Absalom te antre nan relasyon seksyèl ak tout konkibin papa l yo, devan zye a tout Israël.
And they stretched out for Absolom a tent, upon the house-top, —and Absolom went in unto his father’s concubines, in the sight of all Israel.
23 Konsèy a Achitophel te konn bay nan jou sa yo te konsidere tankou si yon moun te mande konsèy a pawòl Bondye. Se te konsa tout konsèy Achitophel te ye pou David ak Absalom.
Now, the counsel of Ahithophel which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God, —so, was all the counsel of Ahithophel, both to David, and also to Absolom.
