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 is a famine in the days of David [for] three years, year after year, and David seeks the face of YHWH, and YHWH says, “[This is] for Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put the Gibeonites to death.”
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 calls for the Gibeonites and says to them—as for the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeks to strike 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?”
indeed, David says to the Gibeonites, “What do I do for you? And with what do I make atonement? And bless the inheritance of YHWH.”
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 say to him, “We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel”; and he says, “What you are saying I do to 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 say to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us—we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border 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 there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before YHWH, in the height of Saul, the chosen of YHWH.” And the king says, “I give”;
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.
and the king has pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of YHWH that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan 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;
and the king takes the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel 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 gives them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before YHWH; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement 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 daughter of Aiah takes the sackcloth, and stretches it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest until water has been poured out on them from the heavens, and has not permitted a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day, or the beast 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 is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, has 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 goes and takes the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines striking 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 brings up there the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gather the bones of those 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 bury the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of his father Kish, and do all that the king commanded, and God accepts the plea for the land afterward.
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 again the Philistines have war with Israel, and David goes down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
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 Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant—the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels in] weight of bronze, and he is girded with a new one—speaks of striking 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.”
and Abishai son of Zeruiah gives help to him, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death; then the men of David swear to him, saying, “You do not go out with us to battle again, nor 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 comes to pass afterward that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Saph, who [is] among the children 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 the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, strikes [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ 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 the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of [great] stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six—twenty-four in number, and he has also been 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 he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, strikes 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 have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
