2 Samyèl 19

1 Alò, li te pale a Joab: “Gade byen, wa a ap kriye e fè lamantasyon pou Absalom.”

And it was tolde Ioab, Behold, the King weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.

2 Viktwa a jou sa a te boulvèse vin fè dèy pou tout pèp la. Paske moun ki te tande li yo nan jou sa a te di: “Wa a ap lamante pou fis li a.”

Therefore the victorie of that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard say that day, The King soroweth for his sonne.

3 Konsa, moun yo te antre nan vil la nan jou sa a kòmsi an sekrè tankou yon pèp ki imilye e kouri kache pou kite batay la.

And the people went that day into the citie secretly, as people confounded hide them selues when they flee in battell.

4 Wa a te kouvri figi li e te kriye fò avèk yon gwo vwa: “O fis mwen, Absalom, O Absalom, fis mwen, fis mwen!”

So the King hid his face, and the King cryed with a loude voyce, My sonne Absalom, Absalom my sonne, my sonne.

5 Alò, Joab te antre nan kay la vè wa a. Li te di: “Jodi a, ou te kouvri avèk lawont tout figi a tout sèvitè ou yo, ki, jodi a, te sove lavi ou, lavi a fis ou yo ak fi ou yo, lavi a madanm ou yo ak lavi a ti mennaj ou yo,

Then Ioab came into the house to the King, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy seruants, which this day haue saued thy life and the liues of thy sones, and of thy daughters, and the liues of thy wiues, and the liues of thy concubines,

6 akoz ou te vin renmen sila ki rayi ou yo, e rayi sila ki renmen ou yo. Paske ou te montre nan jou sa a ke prens yo avèk sèvitè ou yo pa anyen a ou menm. Paske mwen vin aprann nan jou sa a ke si Absalom te vivan e nou tout te fin mouri, ke ou ta gen kè kontan.

In that thou louest thine enemies, and hatest thy friendes: for thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither thy princes nor seruants: therefore this day I perceiue, that if Absalom had liued, and we all had dyed this day, that then it would haue pleased thee well.

7 Alò, pou sa, leve ale deyò a pou pale pawòl ki dous avèk sèvitè ou yo. Paske mwen sèmante pa SENYÈ a ke si ou pa sòti deyò, anverite, p ap gen yon moun k ap pase nwit lan avèk ou e sa va pi mal pou ou pase tout lòt mal ki gen tan parèt sou ou soti nan jenès ou jis rive koulye a.”

Nowe therefore vp, come out, and speake comfortably vnto thy seruants: for I sweare by the Lord, except thou come out, there will not tarie one man with thee this night: and that wil be worse vnto thee, then all the euill that fell on thee from thy youth hitherto.

8 Pou sa, wa a te leve chita nan pòtay la. Lè yo te pale tout pèp la e te di: “Men vwala, wa a chita nan pòtay la,” alò, tout pèp la te vini devan wa a. Alò, Israël te fin sove ale, chak moun nan pwòp tant pa yo.

Then the King arose, and sate in the gate: and they tolde vnto all the people, saying, Beholde, the King doeth sit in the gate: and all the people came before the King: for Israel had fled euery man to his tent.

9 Tout pèp la t ap fè kont pami tout tribi Israël yo, e t ap di: “Wa a te delivre nou soti nan men a lènmi nou yo e te sove nou soti nan men a Filisten yo; men koulye a, li gen tan sove ale kite peyi a devan Absalom.

Then all the people were at strife thorowout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The King saued vs out of the hand of our enemies, and he deliuered vs out of the hande of the Philistims, and nowe he is fled out of the lande for Absalom.

10 Malgre sa, Absalom, ke nou te onksyone sou nou an, te mouri nan batay la. Alò, pou sa, poukisa nou rete san pale nan afè mennen wa a fè l tounen an?”

And Absalom, whome we anoynted ouer vs, is dead in battel: therefore why are ye so slow to bring the King againe?

11 Epi Wa David te voye kote Tsadok ak Abiathar, prèt yo, e te di: “Pale avèk ansyen Juda yo e di: ‘Poukisa se nou ki dènye pou mennen fè wa a tounen lakay li a, depi pawòl a tout Israël la gen tan rive vè wa a, menm kote lakay li?

But King Dauid sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the Priestes, saying, Speake vnto the Elders of Iudah, and say, Why are ye behind to bring the King againe to his house, (for the saying of al Israel is come vnto the king, euen to his house)

12 Nou menm se frè m; nou se zo a zo mwen e chè a chè mwen. Poukisa konsa nou ta dwe dènye pou mennen wa a fè l tounen?’

Ye are my brethren: my bones and my flesh are ye: wherefore then are ye the last that bring the King againe?

13 Di Amasa: ‘Èske ou pa zo a zo mwen e chè a chè mwen? Ke Bondye ta fè sa pou mwen e menm plis si se pa ou menm ki va chèf lame devan mwen nèt nan plas Joab.’”

Also say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captaine of the hoste to me for euer in the roume of Ioab.

14 Konsa, li te vire kè tout mesye Juda yo tankou se te yon sèl moun, jiskaske yo te voye vè wa a e te di: “Retounen, ou menm avèk tout sèvitè ou yo.”

So he bowed the heartes of all the men of Iudah, as of one man: therefore they sent to the King, saying, Returne thou with all thy seruants.

15 Alò, wa a te retounen e te vin jis nan Rivyè Jourdain an. Epi Juda te vini Guilgal pou rankontre wa a, pou mennen wa a travèse Jourdain an.

So the King returned, and came to Iorden. And Iudah came to Gilgal, for to goe to meete the King, and to conduct him ouer Iorde.

16 Epi Schimeï, fis a Guéra a, Benjamit ki sòti Bachurim nan te fè vit vin desann avèk mesye Juda yo pou rankontre Wa David.

And Shimei the sonne of Gera, ye sonne of Iemini, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Iudah to meete king Dauid,

17 Te gen mil mesye Benjamin avèk li, avèk Tsiba, sèvitè lakay Saül la, kenz fis li yo avèk ven sèvitè yo avèk li; epi yo te prese rive nan Jourdain an avan wa a.

And a thousande men of Beniamin with him, and Ziba the seruant of the house of Saul, and his fifteene sonnes and twentie seruants with him: and they went ouer Iorden before ye king.

18 Alò, yo te kontinye travèse kote pou janbe a pou fè travèse fanmi a wa a; epi pou fè sa ki bon nan zye li. Epi Schimeï, fis a Guéra a te tonbe ba devan wa a pandan li t ap prepare pou travèse Jourdain an.

And there went ouer a boate to carie ouer the Kings houshold, and to do him pleasure. Then Shimei the sonne of Gera fell before the King, when he was come ouer Iorden,

19 Konsa, li te di a wa a: “Pa kite mèt mwen konsidere mwen kòm koupab, ni sonje mal ke sèvitè ou te fè nan jou lè mèt mwen an, wa a, te sòti Jérusalem, pou wa a ta pran sa a kè.

And saide vnto the King, Let not my lorde impute wickednesse vnto me, nor remember ye thing that thy seruant did wickedly when my lorde the King departed out of Ierusalem, that the King should take it to his heart.

20 Paske sèvitè ou konnen ke mwen te peche. Pou sa, gade byen, mwen te rive la jodi a, premyèman nan tout kay Joseph la pou ale desann rankontre mèt mwen an, wa a.”

For thy seruant doeth knowe, that I haue done amisse: therefore beholde, I am the first this day of al the house of Ioseph, that am come to goe downe to meete my lord the King.

21 Men Abischaï, fis a Tseurja a te di: “Èske Schimeï pa ta dwe mete a lanmò pou sa, akoz li te modi onksyone a SENYÈ a?”

But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah answered, and said, Shal not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the Lordes anoynted?

22 Epi David te di: “Kisa mwen gen pou fè avèk nou, O fis a Tseruja yo, pou nou ta nan jou sila a devni advèsè mwen? Èske okenn moun ta mete a lanmò an Israël jodi a?” Paske èske mwen pa konnen ke se mwen ki wa sou Israël jodi a?

And Dauid saide, What haue I to do with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah, that this day ye should be aduersaries vnto me? shall there any man die this day in Israel? for doe not I know that I am this day King ouer Israel?

23 Wa a te di a Schimeï: “Ou p ap mouri.” Konsa wa a te sèmante a li menm.

Therefore the King saide vnto Shimei, Thou shalt not die, and the king sware vnto him.

24 EpiMéphiboscheth, fis a Saül la te desann rankontre wa a. Li pa t okipe pye li, ni taye moustach li, ni lave rad li, depi wa a te pati a jis rive jou ke li te retounen lakay li anpè a.

And Mephibosheth the sonne of Saul came downe to meete the king, and had neither washed his feete, nor dressed his beard, nor washed his clothes from the time the king departed, vntill he returned in peace.

25 Se te lè li te vini Jérusalem pou rankontre wa a ke wa a te di li: “Poukisa ou pa t ale avè m, Méphiboscheth?”

And when he was come to Ierusalem, and met the king, the king said vnto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?

26 Konsa, li te reponn: “O mèt mwen, wa a, sèvitè mwen an te twonpe m. Paske sèvitè ou a te di: ‘Mwen va sele yon bourik pou mwen menm pou m kab monte sou li pou ale avèk wa a,’ akoz sèvitè ou a bwete.

And he answered, My lorde the king, my seruant deceiued me: for thy seruant said, I would haue mine asse sadled to ride thereon, for to goe with the king, because thy seruant is lame.

27 Anplis, li te pale vye bagay a sèvitè ou a mèt mwen, wa a, men mèt mwen an, wa a, se tankou zanj Bondye a. Pou sa, fè sa ki bon nan zye ou.

And he hath accused thy seruant vnto my lorde the king: but my lorde the king is as an Angel of God: doe therefore thy pleasure.

28 Paske tout manm lakay papa m pa t plis ke moun mouri devan mèt mwen an, wa a. Malgre ou te mete sèvitè ou pami sila ki te manje sou pwòp tab pa ou. Ki dwa mwen gen pou m ta plenyen anplis a wa a?”

For all my fathers house were but dead men before my lord the king, yet diddest thou set thy seruant among them that did eate at thine owne table: what right therefore haue I yet to crye any more vnto the king?

29 Konsa, wa a te di li: “Poukisa ou pale toujou nan enterè pa w? Mwen gen tan pran desizyon, ‘Ou avèk Ziba va divize tè a.’”

And the king said vnto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I haue said, Thou, and Ziba deuide the landes.

30 Méphiboscheth te di a wa a: “Kite li menm vin pran tout pou li menm, akoz mèt mwen, wa a, gen tan retounen nan pwòp kay li.”

And Mephibosheth saide vnto the king, Yea, let him take all, seeing my lorde the king is come home in peace.

31 Alò Barzillaï, Gadit la te vin desann soti Roguelim e li te ale nan Jourdain an avèk wa a pou akonpanye li travèse Jourdain an.

Then Barzillai the Gileadite came downe from Rogelim, and went ouer Iorden with the king, to conduct him ouer Iorden.

32 Alò, Barzillaï te granmoun anpil, avèk laj a katre-ventan. Li te bay soutyen a wa a pandan li te rete Mahanaïm, paske li te yon nonm byen enpòtan.

Nowe Barzillai was a very aged man, euen fourescore yeere olde, and he had prouided the king of sustenance, while he lay at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substance.

33 Wa a te di a Barzillaï: “Vin travèse avèk mwen e mwen va ba ou soutyen Jérusalem bò kote mwen.”

And the king said vnto Barzillai, Come ouer with me, and I will feede thee with me in Ierusalem.

34 Men Barzillaï te di a wa a: “Se pou konbyen de tan ke m ap viv toujou pou m ta monte ak wa a Jérusalem?

And Barzillai said vnto the king, Howe long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the king to Ierusalem?

35 Mwen menm, koulye a, mwen nan katre-ventan daj. Èske mwen kapab distenge antre sa ki bon ak sa ki mal? Oswa èske sèvitè ou a kapab goute sa ke m manje, oswa sa ke m bwè? Oswa èske mwen kapab ankò tande vwa lè gason ak fi ap chante? Alò, poukisa sèvitè ou ta dwe devni yon chaj anplis a mèt mwen an, wa a?

I am this day fourescore yeere olde: and can I discerne betweene good or euill? Hath thy seruant any taste in that I eat or in that I drinke? Can I heare any more the voyce of singing men and women? wherefore then should thy seruant be anymore a burthen vnto my lord the king?

36 Sèvitè ou ta sèlman pito travèse Jourdain an avèk wa a. Poukisa wa a ta dwe ban m rekonpans avèk byenfezans sila a?

Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde?

37 Souple, kite sèvitè ou retounen, pou m kab mouri nan pwòp vil pa m, toupre tonm a papa m avèk manman m. Malgre sa, men sèvitè ou, Kimham; kite li travèse avèk mèt mwen an, wa a e fè pou li sa ki bon nan zye ou.”

I pray thee, let thy seruant turne backe againe, that I may die in mine owne citie, and be buryed in the graue of my father and of my mother: but beholde thy seruant Chimham, let him goe with my lorde the king, and doe to him what shall please thee.

38 Wa a te reponn: “Kimham va travèse avè m e mwen va fè pou li sa ki bon nan zye pa w. Nenpòt sa ke ou vle m fè m ap fè l pou ou.”

And the king answered, Chimham shall go with me, and I will do to him that thou shalt be content with: and whatsoeuer thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.

39 Tout moun yo te travèse Jourdain an e wa a te travèse tou. Epi wa a te bo Barzillaï. Li te beni li e li te retounen nan plas li.

So all the people went ouer Iorden: and the King passed ouer: and the King kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and hee returned vnto his owne place.

40 Koulye a, wa a te avanse rive Guilgal, Kimham te kontinye avèk li. Epi tout pèp Juda a avèk la mwatye nan pèp Israël la te akonpanye wa a.

Then the King went to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him, and all the people of Iudah conducted the King, and also halfe ye people of Israel.

41 Epi vwala, tout mesye Israël yo te vin kote wa a e te di a wa a: “Poukisa frè nou yo, mesye Juda yo te vin vòlè ou? Yo te pati avè w, yo te mennen wa a avèk tout lakay li ak tout mesye David yo avèk li, vin janbe Jourdain an.”

And behold, all the men of Israel came to the King, and sayd vnto the King, Why haue our brethren the men of Iudah stollen thee away, and haue brought the King and his houshold, and all Dauids men with him ouer Iorden?

42 Epi tout mesye Juda yo te reponn mesye Israël yo: “Akoz wa a toupre fanmi a nou. Poukisa konsa nou vin fache akoz afè sila a? Èske nou te manje yon bagay sou kont a wa a, oubyen èske yon bagay te vin separe bannou?”

And all the men of Iudah answered the men of Israel, Because the King is neere of kin to vs: and wherefore now be ye angry for this matter? haue we eaten of the Kings cost, or haue wee taken any bribes?

43 Men mesye Israël yo te reponn mesye Juda yo e te di: “Nou gen dis pati nan wa a; pou sa, nou osi gen plis pati nan David pase ou! Poukisa konsa, ou vin meprize nou? Èske se pa t konsèy pa nou premyèman pou fè wa a tounen?” Men pawòl a Juda yo te pi rèd pase pawòl a Israël yo.

And the men of Israel answered the men of Iudah, and saide, Wee haue ten partes in the King, and haue also more right to Dauid then ye: Why then did ye despise vs, that our aduise should not bee first had in restoring our King? And the wordes of the men of Iudah were fiercer then the wordes of the men of Israel.
