2 Samyèl 23
1 Alò, sila yo se dènye pawòl a David yo. David, fis a Jesse a deklare, Mesye ki te leve anwo a deklare, Sila ki onksyone pa Bondye a Jacob la, Chantè dous Israël la,
Now these are the last words of David. David, the son of Jesse, says, the man who was lifted up on high, the man on whom the God of Jacob put the holy oil, the loved one of Israel's songs, says:
2 Nan mwen, Lespri SENYÈ a te pale, Pawòl pa Li te sou lang mwen.
The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.
3 Bondye a Israël la te di, Wòch Israël la te pale mwen, Sila ki renye sou lèzòm avèk ladwati Li a, ki renye avèk lakrent Bondye yo,
The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,
4 Se tankou limyè maten lè solèy la leve, Yon maten san nwaj, lè zèb tounèf Vin sòti nan tè a nan solèy apre lapli.
It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.
5 Vrèman, se pa konsa lakay mwen ye avèk Bondye? Paske Li te fè yon akò k ap dire nèt avè m, An lòd nan tout bagay e byen solid. Pou tout sali mwen avèk tout dezi mwen, èske, anverite, Li p ap fè l grandi?
For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?
6 Men sanzave yo, yo chak va pouse jete deyò tankou raje pikan. Konsa, pèsòn p ap kab pran yo an men.
But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:
7 Men nonm nan ki touche yo, dwe ame avèk fè ak shaf lans. Kèlkeswa, yo va vin brile nèt avèk dife, nan plas kote yo ye a.
But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.
8 Sila yo se non a mesye vanyan ki te pou David yo: Joscheb-Basschébeth, Tachkemonit lan, youn nan ofisye prensipal yo. Avèk lans li ui-sant òm te mouri yon sèl kou yo.
These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.
9 Apre li menm, se Éléazar, fis a Dodo a, Achochit la. Li te youn nan twa gèrye ki te, ansanm ak David yo, ki te konfwonte Filisten ki te rasanble pou batay yo, lè lòt mesye Israël yo te fè bak yo.
After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,
10 Li te leve frape Filisten yo jiskaske men li te fatige e te kole a nepe a. Konsa, SENYÈ a te fè parèt yon gran viktwa nan jou sa a. Pèp la te swiv li sèlman pou piyaje mò yo.
He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.
11 Alò, apre li se te Schamma, fis Agué a, yon Ararit. Filisten yo te rasanble nan yon ekip kote yon moso tè te plen avèk pwa lantiy e pèp la te kouri devan Filisten yo.
After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.
12 Men li te kanpe pran pozisyon li nan mitan chan an pou defann tè a. Li te frape Filisten yo; epi SENYÈ a te fè vini yon gran viktwa.
But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.
13 Alò, twa nan trant mesye pifò yo te desann kote David nan tan rekòlt la kote kavèn Adullam nan pandan ekip Filisten an t ap fè kan nan vale Rephaïm nan.
And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Nan tan sa a, David te la nan fò a, pandan ganizon Filisten an te Bethléhem.
And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.
15 David te gen yon anvi, e li te di: “Men kijan mwen ta kontan si yon moun ta ban m dlo pou bwè ki sòti nan pwi Bethléhem akote pòtay la!”
And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!
16 Konsa, twa mesye vanyan sa yo te pete antre nan kan Filisten yo. Yo te rale dlo nan pwi Bethléhem ki te akote pòtay la, e yo te pote li bay David. Malgre sa, li te refize bwè l, men li te vide li bay SENYÈ a.
And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.
17 Konsa, li te di: “Lwen de mwen O SENYÈ! Èske m ta bwè san a mesye ki te mete lavi yo nan gwo danje a?” Pou sa, li pa t bwè li. Se zèv sila yo ke twa mesye vanyan sa yo te fè.
And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.
18 Abischaï, frè a Joab la, fis a Tseruja a, te chèf a trant yo. Li te voye lans li kont twa san moun, li te touye yo, e li te gen yon non ki vin rekonèt menm jan ak twa yo.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty. He put to death three hundred with his spear, and he got for himself a name among the thirty.
19 Li te pi onore pami trant yo. Konsa, li te devni chèf yo. Malgre sa, li pa t rive nan nivo a twa yo.
Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.
20 Alò, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a, fis a yon mesye vanyan nan Kabtséel, ki te fè zak byen fò, li te touye de fis a Ariel yo nan Moab. Anplis, li te desann e te touye yon lyon nan mitan a yon fòs yon jou pandan lanèj t ap tonbe.
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:
21 Li te touye yon Ejipsyen, yon mesye mèvèy. Alò, Ejipsyen an te gen yon lans nan men li, men li te desann kote li avèk yon gwo baton e li te sezi lans lan soti nan men Ejipsyen an e te touye li avèk pwòp lans li an.
And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.
22 Bagay sa yo, Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te fè e non l te gen repitasyon menm jan ak twa mesye vanyan yo.
These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.
23 Li te onore pami trant yo, men li pa t rive nan nivo a twa yo. Epi David te plase li kòm chèf sou gad li.
He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.
