2 Samyèl 17

1 Anplis, Achitophel te di a Absalom: “Souple, kite mwen chwazi douz-mil òm pou m kab leve kouri dèyè David aswè a menm.

Moreouer Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me chuse out now twelue thousand men, and I will vp and follow after Dauid this night,

2 Mwen va vini sou li pandan li fatige e bouke e fè l vin sezi pou tout moun ki avèk li yo kouri ale. Konsa, se sèl wa a mwen va frape touye,

And I will come vpon him: for he is wearie, and weake handed: so I will feare him, and all the people that are with him, shall flee, and I will smite the King onely,

3 epi mwen va fè retounen tout moun yo a ou menm. Retou a tout moun yo depann de nonm ou chache a; answit, tout pèp la va anpè.”

And I will bring againe all the people vnto thee, and when all shall returne, (the man whome thou seekest being slaine) all the people shalbe in peace.

4 Konsa, plan an te fè Absalom avèk tout ansyen Israël yo kontan.

And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the Elders of Israel.

5 Alò, Absalom te di: “Alò, rele Huschaï, Akyen an tou e annou tande sa ke li gen pou di.”

Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he sayth.

6 Lè Huschaï te rive a Absalom, Absalom te di li: “Achitophel te pale konsa. Èske nou dwe fè plan pa li a? Si se pa sa, pale.”

So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken thus: shall we doe after his saying, or no? tell thou.

7 Konsa, Huschaï te di a Absalom: “Fwa sa a, konsèy ke Achitophel te bay la, pa bon.”

Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time.

8 Anplis, Huschaï te di: “Ou konnen papa ou avèk mesye pa li yo se mesye plen kouraj e fewòs, tankou yon lous ki pèdi pitit li nan chan. Epi papa ou gen gwo eksperyans lagè e li p ap pase nwit lan avèk pèp la.

For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in minde as a beare robbed of her whelps in the fielde: also thy father is a valiant warrier, and will not lodge with the people.

9 Gade byen, depi koulye a, li gen tan kache nan youn nan kavèn yo oswa nan yon lòt plas; epi li va rive ke lè li tonbe sou yo nan premye atak la, ke nenpòt moun ki tande va di: ‘Gen yon masak ki fèt pami moun ki swiv Absalom yo.’

Behold, he is hid now in some caue, or in some place: and though some of them be ouerthrowen at the first, yet the people shall heare, and say, The people that follow Absalom, be ouerthrowen.

10 Epi menm sila ki gen gwo kouraj yo, ki gen kè tankou kè a lyon yo, va vin pèdi kouraj nèt; paske tout Israël konnen ke papa ou se yon nonm pwisan e sila ki avèk li yo se mesye vanyan.

Then he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall shrinke and faint: for all Israel knoweth, that thy father is valiant, and they which be with him, stout men.

11 Men konsèy pa m se ke tout Israël vin, anverite, rasanble bò kote ou, soti nan Dan jis rive nan Beer-Schéba, tankou sab bò lanmè an gran kantite, e ke ou menm, pèsonèlman antre nan batay la.

Therefore my counsell is, that all Israel be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba as the sand of the sea in nomber, and that thou goe to battell in thine owne person.

12 Konsa, nou va vini sou li nan plas kote li kapab twouve yo, nou va tonbe sou li tankou lawouze tonbe atè; epi konsènan li avèk tout mesye ki avèk li yo, p ap gen menm youn ki rete.

So shall we come vpon him in some place, where we shall finde him, and we will vpon him as the dewe falleth on the ground: and of all the men that are with him, wee will not leaue him one.

13 Si li retire li nan yon vil, alò, tout Israël va mennen kòd kote vil sila a e yo va rale li nèt antre nan vale a jis nanpwen yon ti wòch ki rete.”

Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that citie, and we will draw it into the riuer, vntill there be not one small stone founde there.

14 Alò, Absalom avèk tout mesye Israël yo te di: “Konsèy Huschaï pi bon ke konsèy Achitophel la.” Paske SENYÈ a te deja detèmine pou anile bon konsèy Achitophel la, pou SENYÈ a ta kapab fè gwo dezas rive Absalom.

Then Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better, then the counsell of Ahithophel: for the Lord had determined to destroy the good counsell of Ahithophel, that the Lord might bring euill vpon Absalom.

15 Epi Huschaï te di a Tsadok avèk Abiathar, prèt yo: “Sa se konsèy sa a ke Achitophel te bay Absalom avèk ansyen a Israël yo e se sa ke mwen te konseye.

Then said Hushai vnto Zadok and to Abiathar the Priests, Of this and that maner did Ahithophel and the Elders of Israel counsell Absalom: and thus and thus haue I counseled.

16 Alò, pou sa, voye vit pale David e di: ‘Pa pase nwit lan kote ki pou janbe dlo rive nan dezè a, men fè sèten ke nou janbe, oswa wa a avèk tout moun ki avèk li yo va vin detwi.’”

Now therefore sende quickely, and shewe Dauid, saying, Tarie not this night in the fieldes of the wildernesse, but rather get thee ouer, lest the King be deuoured and all the people that are with him.

17 Alò, Jonathan avèk Achimaats te rete En-Rougel. Yon sèvant te gen pou ale pale yo pou yo ta ale avèti Wa David, paske yo pa t kapab kite moun wè yo antre nan vil la.

Now Ionathan and Ahimaaz abode by En-rogel: (for they might not be seene to come into the citie) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and shewed King Dauid.

18 Men yon gason te wè yo kanmenm e te di Absalom. Pou sa, yo te pati vit rive lakay a yon mesye Bachurim ki te gen yon pwi nan lakou a, e yo te desann antre ladann.

Neuerthelesse a yong man sawe them, and tolde it to Absalom. therefore they both departed quickely, and came to a mans house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went downe.

19 Konsa, fanm nan te pran yon kouvèti. Li te ouvri li sou bouch pwi a, e li te gaye sereyal sou li jiskaske yo pa t konnen anyen.

And the wife tooke and spred a couering ouer the welles mouth, and spred ground corne thereon, that the thing should not be knowen.

20 Alò, sèvitè a Absalom yo te vin kote fanm nan lakay li e te di: “Kote Achimaats avèk Jonathan?” Epi fanm nan te di yo: “Yo fin janbe dlo a.” Konsa, lè yo te chache e pa t kab jwenn yo, yo te retounen Jérusalem.

And when Absaloms seruants came to the wife into the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Ionathan? And the woman answered them, They be gone ouer the brooke of water. And when they had sought them, and could not finde them, they returned to Ierusalem.

21 Li te vin rive lè yo te fin ale ke yo te monte sòti nan pwi a, yo te ale pale Wa David e yo te di David: “Leve, travèse dlo a byen vit paske Achitophel te bay konsèy kont ou.”

And assoone as they were departed, the other came out of the well, and went and tolde King Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Vp, and get you quickely ouer the water: for such counsell hath Ahithophel giuen against you.

22 Alò, David avèk tout moun ki te avèk li yo te leve janbe Jourdain an. Lè solèy te vin leve, pa t gen youn ki rete ki pa t janbe Jourdain an.

Then Dauid arose, and all the people that were with him, and they went ouer Iorden vntil the dawning of the day, so that there lacked not one of them, that was not come ouer Iorden.

23 Alò, lè Achitophel te wè ke konsèy pa li a pa t swiv, li te sele bourik li e li te leve ale lakay li nan vil li a. Li te mete lakay li an lòd e te trangle pwòp tèt li. Konsa, li te mouri e te antere nan tonm a papa li.

Nowe when Ahithophel sawe that his counsell was not followed, he sadled his asse, and arose, and he went home vnto his citie, and put his houshold in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in his fathers graue.

24 Alò, David te rive Mahanaïm. Epi Absalom te travèse Jourdain an, li menm avèk tout mesye Israël yo avèk yo.

Then Dauid came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed ouer Iorden, he, and all the men of Israel with him.

25 Absalom te mete Amasa sou tèt lame a nan plas Joab. Alò Amasa te fis a yon mesye ki te rele Jithra, Izrayelit la, ki te antre nan Abigail, fi a Nachasch, sè a Tseruja a, manman a Joab.

And Absalom made Amasa captaine of the hoste in the stead of Ioab: which Amasa was a mans sonne named Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Ioabs mother.

26 Epi Israël avèk Absalom te fè kan nan peyi Galaad la.

So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.

27 Alò, lè David te vini Mahanaïm, Schobi, fis a Nachasch ki sòti Rabba a, a fis Ammon yo, Makir, fis a Ammiel Lodebar a ak Barzillaï, Galaadit Roguelim nan,

And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Shobi the sonne of Nahash out of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lo-debar, and Barzelai the Gileadite out of Rogel

28 te pote kabann yo, basen yo, po kanari yo, ble, lòj, farin, sereyal boukannen, pwa, pwa lantiy, avèk grenn boukannen,

Brought beds, and basens, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and floure, and parched corne, and beanes, and lentiles, and parched corne.

29 siwo myèl, bòl lèt, mouton ak fwomaj ki sòti nan twoupo a, pou David ak moun ki te avèk li yo ta manje. Paske yo te di: “Pèp la grangou, fatige e swaf nan dezè a.”

And they brought hony, and butter, and sheepe, and cheese of kine for Dauid and for the people that were with him, to eate: for they said, The people is hungry, and wearie, and thirstie in the wildernesse.
