2 Samyèl 2
1 Alò, li te vin rive apre, ke David te fè demand a SENYÈ a, e te di: “Èske Mwen dwe monte nan youn nan vil Juda yo?” Epi SENYÈ a te di li: “Monte!” Konsa David te di: “Se kibò pou m ta monte?” Epi Li te di: “Nan Hébron.”
After this, Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go vp into any of the cities of Iudah? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Goe vp. And Dauid sayd Whither shall I goe? Hee then answered, Vnto Hebron.
2 Pou sa, David te monte la ansanm akde madanm li yo tou, Achinoam, Jizreyelit la, avèk Abigaïl, Kamelit la, fanm a Nabal la.
So Dauid went vp thither, and his two wiues also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite.
3 Epi David te fè monte mesye ki te avèk li yo, yo chak avèk pwòp lakay pa yo, e yo te rete nan vil Hébron yo.
And Dauid brought vp the men that were with him, euery man with his houshold, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 Alò, mesye Juda yo te parèt e se la, yo te onksyone David wa sou kay Juda a. Epi yo te pale David, e te di: “Se te mesye a Jabés Galaad ki te antere Saül yo.”
Then the men of Iudah came, and there they anoynted Dauid King ouer the house of Iudah. And they tolde Dauid, saying, that the men of Iabesh Gilead buried Saul.
5 David te voye mesaje yo bò kote mesye Jabés Galaad yo. Li te di yo: “Ke nou beni pa SENYÈ a akoz nou te montre bonte nou anvè Saül, mèt nou an, e nou te antere li.
And Dauid sent messengers vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, and said vnto them, Blessed are ye of the Lord, that yee haue shewed such kindenes vnto your lord Saul, that you haue buried him.
6 Alò, ke SENYÈ a montre bonte avèk verite Li a nou menm. Konsa, mwen tou, mwen va montre nou bonte sa a akoz nou te fè bagay sa a.
Therefore now the Lord shewe mercie and trueth vnto you: and I will recompence you this benefite, because ye haue done this thing.
7 Pou sa, kite men nou rete fò e plen kouraj. Paske mèt nou an, Saül mouri e anplis, kay Juda a te onksyone mwen kòm wa sou yo menm”.
Therefore nowe let your handes be strong, and be you valiant: albeit your master Saul bee dead, yet neuerthelesse the house of Iudah hath anoynted me King ouer them.
8 Men Abner, fis a Ner a, te pran Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la e te mennen li antre Mahanaïm.
But Abner the sonne of Ner that was captaine of Sauls hoste, tooke Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim,
9 Li te fè li wa sou Galaad, sou Gechouryen yo, sou Jizreel, sou Ephraïm ak sou Benjamin, menm sou tout Israël la.
And made him King ouer Gilead, and ouer the Ashurites, and ouer Izreel, and ouer Ephraim, and ouer Beniamin, and ouer al Israel.
10 Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la te gen karant ane lè l te devni wa sou Israël, e li te wa pandan dezan. Men, lakay Juda te swiv David.
Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne was fourtie yeere olde when he began to reigne ouer Israel, and reigned two yeere: but the house of Iudah followed Dauid.
11 Fòs tan ke David te wa nan Hébron sou Juda a se te sèt ane avèk si mwa.
(And the time which Dauid reigned in Hebron ouer the house of Iudah, was seuen yeere and sixe moneths)
12 Alò, Abner, fis a Ner a te sòti Mahanaïm kote Gabaon avèk sèvitè a Isch-Boscheth yo, fis a Saül la.
And Abner the sonne of Ner, and the seruantes of Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul went out of Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Konsa, Joab, fis a Tseruja a avèk sèvitè a David yo te sòti pou rankontre yo akote sous Gabaon an. Yo te chita konsa, youn nan yon bò sous la e lòt la nan lòtbò sous la.
And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and the seruants of Dauid went out and met one another by the poole of Gibeon: and they sate downe, the one on the one side of the poole, and the other on the otherside of the poole.
14 Abner te di a Joab: “Alò, kite jennonm yo leve fè yon kou batay devan nou la a.” Joab te reponn: “Kite yo leve.”
Then Abner saide to Ioab, Let the yong men nowe arise, and play before vs. And Ioab said, Let them arise.
15 Konsa, yo te leve travèse ak kontwòl, douz pou Benjamin avèk Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül yo e douz pou sèvitè a David yo.
Then there arose and went ouer twelue of Beniamin by number, which perteined to Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and twelue of the seruants of Dauid.
16 Chak te sezi advèsè li nan tèt e te fonse nepe li nan akote advèsè li a; konsa, yo te tonbe atè ansanm. Pou sa, yo te rele plas sa a Helkath-Hatsurim chanm a lam nepe yo ki nan Gabaon.
And euery one caught his fellowe by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellowes side, so they fell downe together: wherefore ye place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 Nan jou sa a, batay la te trè sevè e Abner avèk mesye Israël yo te kale devan sèvitè David yo.
And the battel was exceeding sore that same day: for Abner and the men of Israel fell before the seruants of Dauid.
18 Alò, twa fis a Tseruja yo te la, Joab avèk Abschaï avèk Asaël te vit sou pye yo tankou yon gazèl mawon nan chan.
And there were three sonnes of Zeruiah there, Ioab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as light on foote as a wilde roe.
19 Asaël te kouri dèyè Abner e pa t vire ni adwat ni agoch nan kouri dèyè Abner.
And Asahel followed after Abner, and in going he turned neither to the right hand nor to the left from Abner.
20 Alò, Abner te gade dèyè li, e te di: “Èske se ou, Asaël?” Epi li te reponn: “Se mwen.”
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, Yea.
21 Konsa, Abner te di li: “Vire vè adwat oswa agoch, pran youn nan jennonm yo pou kont ou e pran pou ou menm nan piyaj la.” Men Asaël pa t dakò pou vire pa swiv li.
Then Abner said, Turne thee either to the right hande, or to the left, and take one of the yong men, and take thee his weapons: and Asahel would not depart from him.
22 Abner te repete ankò a Asaël: “Vire pa swiv mwen Poukisa mwen ta frape ou pou jiskaske ou rive atè? Konsa, kijan mwen ta kapab leve figi mwen a frè ou a, Joab?”
And Abner saide to Asahel, Depart from me: wherefore shoulde I smite thee to the grounde? howe then shoulde I be able to holde vp my face to Ioab thy brother?
23 Sepandan, li te refize vire akote; pou sa, Abner te frape li nan vant avèk frenn li jiskaske li te parèt nan do li Epi li te tonbe la menm e te mouri sou lye a. Epi li te vin rive ke tout moun ki te vini kote Asaël te mouri an, te kanpe an plas.
And when he woulde not depart, Abner with the hinder ende of the speare smote him vnder the fift ryb, that the speare came out behind him: and he fell downe there, and dyed in his place. And as many as came to the place where Asahel fell downe and dyed, stoode still.
24 Men Joab avèk Abischaï te kouri dèyè Abner e pandan solèy la t ap bese, yo te rive nan ti mòn a Amma a, ki devan Guiach pa chemen dezè a Gabaon an.
Ioab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sunne went downe, when they were come to the hill Ammah, that lieth before Giah, by the way of the wildernesse of Gibeon.
25 Fis Benjamin yo te rasanble ansanm dèyè Abner e te devni yon sèl ekip; epi yo te kanpe sou tèt a yon sèten ti mòn.
And the children of Beniamin gathered them selues together after Abner, and were on an heape and stoode on the top of an hill.
26 Alò, Abner te rele Joab e te di: “Èske epe a va devore tout tan? Èske ou pa konprann ke alafen, sa ap vin anmè? Pou konbyen de tan ou va refize di pèp la sispann kouri dèyè frè yo?”
Then Abner called to Ioab, and said, Shall the sworde deuoure for euer? knowest thou not, that it will be bitternesse in the latter ende? howe long then shall it be, or thou bid the people returne from following their brethren?
27 Joab te di: “Jan Bondye viv la, si ou pa t pale; byensi, pèp la t ap kite sa maten an e chak moun t ap sispann swiv frè yo.”
And Ioab sayde, As God liueth, if thou haddest not spoken, surely euen in the morning the people had departed euery one backe from his brother.
28 Epi Joab te soufle twonpèt la. Konsa, tout pèp la te sispann e yo pa t kouri dèyè Israël ankò, ni yo pa t kontinye goumen ankò.
So Ioab blew a trumpet, and all the people stoode still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 Alò, Abner avèk mesye pa li yo te mache nan dezè Araba a tout nwit lan. Yo te travèse Jourdain an, yo te mache tout maten an pou te vini Mahanaïm.
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plaine, and went ouer Iorden, and past through all Bithron till they came to Mahanaim.
30 Alò, Joab te retounen soti swiv Abner. Lè li te fin rasanble tout pèp la ansanm, diz-nèf nan sèvitè David yo anplis ke Asaël te manke.
Ioab also returned backe from Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of Dauids seruants nineteene men and Asahel.
31 Men sèvitè David yo te touye anpil nan mesye Benjamin yo avèk Abner yo, jiskaske te rive twa-san-swasant moun te mouri.
But the seruants of Dauid had smitten of Beniamin, and of Abners men, so that three hundreth and threescore men dyed.
32 Yo te pran Asaël e te antere li nan tonm papa li ki te Bethléhem. Epi Joab avèk mesye pa l yo te ale tout nwit lan jiskaske li te vin fè jou kote Hébron.
And they tooke vp Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem: and Ioab and his men went all night, and when they came to Hebron, the day arose.
