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, —The oracle of David, son of Jesse, Yea the oracle of The man raised up on high, The Anointed of the God of Jacob, the Delight of the Songs of Israel:
2 Nan mwen, Lespri SENYÈ a te pale, Pawòl pa Li te sou lang mwen.
The Spirit of Yahweh, spake in 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,
Said the God of Israel, Unto me, spake the Rock of Israel: —One Ruling over Men, A Righteous One, ruling in the reverence 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.
Is even as the light of the morning when ariseth the sun, —A morning, without clouds, [As] from brightness, [and] from rain, the fresh shoots out of 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?
When, not so, was my house with GOD, Then, a covenant age-abiding, he appointed me, Ordered in all things and guarded, Now that it is all my salvation and all my desire, Will he not make it shoot forth?
6 Men sanzave yo, yo chak va pouse jete deyò tankou raje pikan. Konsa, pèsòn p ap kab pran yo an men.
But, as for the abandoned, like thorns to be tossed away are they all, —For, not with the hand, can they be taken;
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, the man that would touch them, Must fence himself with iron, and the shaft of a spear, —Then, with fire, shall they be, consumed, on the spot!
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, who belonged to David, —The president a Tachmonite head of the charioteers, the same, was Adino the Eznite, for eight hundred, slain 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 son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, —in the hero-class of mighty men, with David, when they reproached the Philistines, they were gathered together there to battle, but the men of Israel had 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, however, arose and smote among the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto his sword, so Yahweh wrought a great victory on that day, —the people, coming back after him, only to strip the slain.
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 son of Agee, the Hararite, —and, when the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, there being at hand an allotment of field-land full of lentils, but, the people, having fled from the face of 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.
then took he his stand in the midst of the allotment, and defended it, and smote the Philistines, —and Yahweh wrought a great victory.
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 descended, and came in, towards harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, —although, a troop of Philistines, were encamped in the vale of Rephaim;
14 Nan tan sa a, David te la nan fò a, pandan ganizon Filisten an te Bethléhem.
and, David, then was in a stronghold, —and, a garrison of Philistines, was then in 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, —Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within 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 brake through the camp of Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, —yet would he not drink, but poured it out unto Yahweh,
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 said—Be it far from me, O Yahweh, that I should do this! is it not the blood of the men who went with their lives [in their hands]? So 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 brother of Joab son of Zeruiah, he, was chief of three, in that he brandished his spear against three hundred whom he slew; and, he, had a name among 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 the three, and so became their captain? Nevertheless, unto the three, he attained not.
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.
Benaiah also, son of Jehoiadah, son of an active man, hero of many a deed, a man of Kabzeel, he, smote the two sons of Ariel of Moab, he, also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit, on a day 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.
he, also smote an Egyptian, who was of valiant bearing, and, in the hand of the Egyptian, was a spear, but he went down unto him with a staff, —and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, 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 son of Jehoiada, and, he, had a name among 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 the most honourable, of thirty, although, unto the three, he attained no, —so David added him to his council.
