2 Samyèl 21
1 Alò, te gen yon gwo grangou nan jou a David yo pandan twazan, ane apre ane. Epi David te chache prezans a SENYÈ a. SENYÈ a te di: “Se akoz Saül ak kay sanglan li an, akoz li te mete Gabawonit yo a lanmò.”
And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.
2 Pou sa, wa a te rele Gabawonit yo pou te pale yo. (Alò, Gabawonit yo pa t nan fis Israël yo men yo te nan retay Amoreyen yo e fis Israël yo te fè yon akò avèk yo. Men Saül te chache touye yo nan zèl li genyen pou fis a Juda yo avèk Israël yo.)
And the king called the Gibeonites, and spoke to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and yet Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah),
3 Konsa, David te di a Gabawonit yo: “Kisa mwen ta dwe fè pou nou? Epi kijan mwen kapab fè ekspiyasyon, pou nou kapab vin beni eritaj SENYÈ a?”
and David said to the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement that ye may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?
4 Alò, Gabawonit yo te di li: “Nou pa sou afè ajan, ni lò avèk Saül, ni lakay li, ni pou nou ta mete okenn moun a lanmò an Israël.” Epi li te di: “Mwen va fè pou nou nenpòt sa ke nou mande.”
And the Gibeonites said to him, It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that I will do for you.
5 Pou sa, yo te di a wa a: “Nonm ki te vin manje nou an e ki te fè plan pou detwi nou nèt la rache nou soti nan lizyè Israël la,
And they said to the king, The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,
6 kite sèt mesye soti nan fis li yo vin bay a nou menm. E nou va pann yo devan SENYÈ a nan Guibea pou Saül, sila ki te chwazi pa SENYÈ a.” Epi wa a te di: “Mwen va bay yo.”
let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah. And the king said, I will give them.
7 Men wa a te bay pwotèj a Méphiboscheth, fis a Jonathan an, fis a Saül la, akoz sèman a SENYÈ a ki te fèt antre yo, antre David ak fis a Saül la, Jonathan.
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Jehovah's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Konsa, wa a te pran de fis a Ritspa yo avèk fi a Ajja a, Armoni ak Méphiboscheth ke li te fè pou Saül la, senk fis a Mérab yo, fi a Saül la, ke li te fè pou Adriel, fis a Barzillaï a, Meyolayit la;
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 Epi li te livre yo nan men a Gabawonit yo e yo te pandye yo nan mòn nan devan SENYÈ a, jiskaske yo sèt te tonbe ansanm. Yo te mete a lanmò nan premye jou a rekòlt la, nan kòmansman rekòlt lòj la.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites. And they hanged them in the mountain before Jehovah, and they fell all seven together. And they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Epi Rizpa, fi a Ajja a te pran twal sak e te ouvri li sou wòch la, soti nan kòmansman rekòlt la jiskaske li te fè lapli sou yo soti nan syèl la. Li pa t kite ni zwazo syèl yo vin poze sou yo nan lajounen, ni bèt chan yo pandan lannwit.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured upon them from heaven. And she neither allowed the birds of the heaven to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Lè li te pale a David sa ke Rizpa, fi a Ajja a, ti mennaj a Saül la te fè a,
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 alò, David te ale pran zo a Saül ak zo a Jonathan, fis li a soti nan men a mesye Jabès-Galaad la, ki te vòlè yo nan laplas Beth-Schan kote Filisten yo te pandye yo nan jou ke Filisten yo te frape Saül nan Guilboa a.
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hanged them in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa,
13 Li te mennen zo a Saül ak zo a Jonathan yo monte, fis li soti la e yo te ranmase zo a sila ki te pandye yo.
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.
14 Yo te antere zo a Saül yo avèk Jonathan, fis li nan peyi Benjamin nan Tséla, nan tonm a Kis, papa li. Konsa, yo te fè tout sa ke wa a te kòmande yo. Apre sa, Bondye te satisfè akoz lapriyè pou peyi a.
And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the sepulcher of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
15 Alò, lè Filisten yo te fè lagè ankò avèk Israël, David te desann avèk sèvitè li yo. Epi pandan yo t ap goumen kont Filisten yo, David te vin bouke.
And the Philistines had war again with Israel. And David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David grew faint,
16 Epi Jischbi-Benob ki te pami desandan a jeyan yo, avèk yon lans ki te peze twa-san sik an bwonz, te gen yon nepe nèf nan senti l e li te gen entansyon pou l ta touye David.
and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 Men Abischaï, fis a Tseruja a te ede li, li te frape Filisten an pou te touye li. Epi mesye David yo te fè ve a li e te di: “Wa David, ou p ap sòti avèk nou ankò nan batay la pou ou pa vin etenn lanp Israël la.”
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, Thou shall no more go out with us to battle, that thou not quench the lamp of Israel.
18 Alò, li te vin rive apre sa ke te gen lagè ankò avèk Filisten yo nan Gob. Epi Sibbecaï, Oushatit la te frape Saph, ki te pami desandan a jeyan yo.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.
19 Te gen gè avèk Filisten yo ankò Gob e Elchanan, fis a Jaaré-Oreguim nan Bethléhem te touye Goliath, moun Gath la. Shaf lans li an te tankou travès lan a yon machin yo konn tise.
And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
20 Te gen lagè avèk Gath ankò, kote te gen yon mesye gran tay avèk sis dwèt nan chak men ak sis zòtèy nan chak pye, venn-kat antou. Li menm osi te ne de jeyan yo.
And there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant.
21 Lè li te leve tèt li kont Israël, Jonathan, fis a Schimea a, frè David la, te frape li.
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, killed him.
22 Se kat sila yo ki te ne de jeyan nan Gath yo, e yo te tonbe pa men David e pa men a sèvitè li yo.
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
