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 saith, And the man who was raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel saith,
2 Nan mwen, Lespri SENYÈ a te pale, Pawòl pa Li te sou lang mwen.
The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, And 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 Rock of Israel spoke to me, The ruler among men shall be just, 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.
And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [like] the rising of the sun, A morning without clouds; [When] from the sunshine, after rain, The green grass springeth 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?
Although my house be not so before God, Yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in every way and sure; For [this is] all my salvation, and every desire, Although he make [it] not to grow.
6 Men sanzave yo, yo chak va pouse jete deyò tankou raje pikan. Konsa, pèsòn p ap kab pran yo an men.
But [the sons] of Belial [are] all of them as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands;
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.
And the man that will touch them provideth himself with iron and the staff of a spear; And they shall be utterly burned with fire in [their] place.
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 the mighty men whom David had: Joseb-Bassebeth, Tachkemonite the chief of the captains: he was Adino the Eznite; he [fought] against eight hundred, slain [by him] 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.
And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo the son of an Ahohite: he was one of the three mighty men with David, when they had defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone up.
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 arose and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave to the sword; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
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.
And after him, Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite: the Philistines were gathered into a troop, and there was there a plot of ground full of lentils, and the people had fled before 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.
and he stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines, and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.
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 chiefs went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, when the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Nan tan sa a, David te la nan fò a, pandan ganizon Filisten an te Bethléhem.
And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
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 longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!
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 mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; however he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
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, Be it far from me, Jehovah, that I should do this thing! is it not the blood of the men that went at the risk of their lives? Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
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 the chief of three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred and slew them; and he had a name among the three.
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 most honourable of three? and he was their captain; but he did not attain 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, son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
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.
He also smote the Egyptian, an imposing man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own 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 things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
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 above the thirty, but he did not attain to the [first] three. And David set him in his council.
