2 Samyèl 3

1 Alò, te gen yon gè byen long antre lakay Saül ak lakay David. David te vin pi pwisan, men lakay Saül, ofiyamezi, te vin pi fèb.

Therfor long strijf was maad bitwixe the hows of Dauid and `bitwixe the hows of Saul; and Dauid profitide and euere was strongere than hym silf, forsothe the hows of Saul decreesside ech dai.

2 Fis te ne a David an Hébron: premye ne li a se te Amnon, pa Achinoam, Jizreyelit la;

And sones weren borne to Dauid in Ebron; and his firste gendrid sone was Amon, of Achynoem of Jezrael;

3 epi dezyèm li a, Kileab, pa Abigaïl la, vèv a Nabal la, Kamalit la; epi twazyèm nan, Absalom, fis Maaca a, fi a Talmaï a, wa a Gueschur;

and aftir hym was Celeab, of Abigail, wijf of Nabal of Carmele; sotheli the thrydde was Absolon, the sone of Maacha, douytir of Tholomay, kyng of Gessur;

4 epi katriyèm nan, Adonija, fis a Haggith la e senkyèm nan, Schephathia, fis a Abithal la;

forsothe the fourthe was Adonyas, the sone of Agith; and the fyuethe was Saphacias, the sone of Abitail; and the sixte was Gethraam of Egla,

5 epi sizyèm nan, Jithream, pa Égla a, madanm a David.

the wijf of Dauid. These weren borne to Dauid in Ebron.

6 Li te vin rive ke pandan te gen lagè antre lakay Saül ak lakay David, ke Abner t ap ranfòse pozisyon li lakay Saül.

Therfor whanne batel was bytwixe the hows of Saul and the hows of Dauid, Abner, the sone of Ner, gouernyde the hows of Saul.

7 Alò, Saül te gen yon ti mennaj ki te rele Ritspa, fi a Ajja a. Konsa, Isch-Boscheth te di a Abner: “Poukisa ou te antre nan ti mennaj papa m nan?”

Sotheli a concubyn, that is, a secoundarie wijf, Respha bi name, the douytir of Achia, `was to Saul; and Abner entride to hir.

8 Alò, Abner te byen fache akoz pawòl a Isch-Boscheth yo e te di: “Èske mwen se tèt yon chen ki pou Juda? Jodi a, mwen montre favè a lakay papa ou, a frè li yo, a zanmi li yo e mwen pa t livre ou nan men David. Epi malgre sa, jodi a, ou akize mwen kòm koupab nan afè fanm nan.

And Isbosech seide to Abner, Whi `entridist thou to the concubyn of my fadir? Which was wrooth greetli for the wordis of Isbosech, and seide, Whether Y am the heed of a dogge ayens Juda to dai, and Y have do merci on the hous of Saul, thi fadir, and on hise britheren, and neiyboris, and Y bitook not thee in to the hondis of David, and thou hast souyt in me that, that thou schuldist repreue me for a womman to dai?

9 Ke Bondye fè sa a Abner, e menm plis toujou, si jan SENYÈ a te sèmante a David la, mwen pa akonpli sa pou li,

God do these thingis to Abner, and adde these thingis to hym, no but as the Lord swoor to Dauid, `so Y do with hym,

10 pou fè wayòm nan kite lakay Saül pou vin etabli sou twòn David sou Israël ak sou Juda, soti nan Dan, jis rive Beer-Schéba.”

that the rewme be translatid fro the hous of Saul, and the trone of Dauid be reisid on Israel and on Juda, fro Dan `til to Bersabee.

11 Epi li pa t kab reponn Abner ankò, akoz li te pè li.

And Isbosech myyte not answere ony thing to Abner, for he dredde Abner.

12 Alò Abner te voye mesaje yo kote David nan plas li, e te di: “Pou kilès peyi a ye? Fè akò ou avèk mwen; epi pou sa, men m va avèk ou pou mennen tout Israël bò kote ou.”

Therfor Abner sente messangeris to Dauid, and thei seiden `for hym, Whos is the lond? and that the messangeris schulden speke, Make thou frenschipis with me, and myn hond schal be with thee, and Y schal brynge al Israel to thee.

13 Li te di: “Sa bon! Mwen va fè yon akò avèk ou, men mwen ap fè yon sèten demann a ou menm. Konsa, ou p ap menm wè figi m sof ke ou mennen premyèman Mical, fi a Saül la, lè ou vin wè mwen.”

And Dauid seide, Best Y schal make frenschipis with thee, but Y axe of thee o thing, and seie, Thou schalt not se my face, bifore that thou brynge Mycol, the douyter of Saul, and so thou schalt come, and schalt se me.

14 Konsa, David te voye mesaje yo kote Isch-Boscheth, fis a Saül la, e te di: “Ban mwen madanm mwen Mical, avèk sila mwen te fiyanse pou yon santèn prepuce moun ki sòti nan Filisten yo.”

Therfor Dauid sente messangeris to Isbosech, the sone of Saul, and seide, Yelde thou my wijf Mycol, whom Y spouside to me for an hundryd prepucies of Filisteis.

15 Isch-Boscheth te voye retire li de mari li, Paithiel, fis a Laïsch la.

Therfor Isbosech sente, and took hir fro hir hosebonde, Faltiel, son of Lais;

16 Men mari li te ale avèk li. Li t ap kriye pandan li t ap prale e te swiv li jis rive Bachurim. Epi Abner te di li: “Ale, retounen!” Konsa, li te retounen.

and hir hosebonde suede hir and wepte til Bahurym. And Abner seide to hym, Go thou, and turne ayen; and he turnede ayen.

17 Alò, Abner te fè konsiltasyon avèk ansyen Israël yo e te di: “Nan tan pase yo, nou te chache fè David vin wa sou nou.

Also Abner brouyte in a word to the eldere men of Israel, and seide, Bothe yistirdai and the thridde dai ago ye souyten Dauid, that he schulde regne on you.

18 Alò konsa, annou fè l. Paske SENYÈ a te pale a David e te di: ‘Pa men a sèvitè Mwen an, David, Mwen va sove pèp Mwen an, Israël soti nan men a Filisten yo ak nan men a tout lènmi pa yo.’”

Now therfor do ye; for the Lord spak to Dauid, and seide, In the hond of my seruaunt Dauid Y schal saue my puple Israel fro the hond of Filisteis, and of alle his enemyes.

19 Abner osi te pale nan zòrèy a moun Benjamin yo. Anplis, Abner te ale fè rapò a David nan Hébron ke tout sa te parèt bon pou Israël, tout lakay Israël la ak a tout lakay Benjamin an.

Forsothe Abner spak also to Beniamyn, and he yede, that he schulde speke to Dauid, in Ebron, alle thingis that plesiden Israel and al Beniamin.

20 Alò, Abner avèk ven mesye avèk li te vin kote David nan Hébron. David te fè yon gwo fèt pou Abner avèk mesye ki te avèk li yo.

And he cam to Dauid in Ebron with twenti men. And Dauid made a feeste to Abner, and to the men that camen with hym.

21 Abner te di a David: “Kite mwen leve pou m ale rasanble tout Israël la kote mèt mwen an, wa a, pou yo kapab fè yon akò avèk ou e pou ou kapab devni wa sou tout sa ke nanm ou dezire yo.” Konsa, David te voye Abner ale e li te ale anpè.

And Abner seide to Dauid, Y schal rise, that Y gadere al Israel to thee, my lord the kyng, and that Y make boond of pees with thee, and that thou regne on alle, as thi soule desirith. Therfor whanne Dauid hadde ledde forth Abner, and he hadde go in pees,

22 Epi vwala, sèvitè a David yo avèk Joab te antre sòti nan yon atak piyaj e yo te pote anpil piyaj avèk yo. Men Abner pa t avèk David nan Hébron; paske li te voye li ale e li te sòti anpè.

anoon the children of Dauid and Joab camen with a ful grete prey, whanne theues weren slayn; sotheli Abner was not with Dauid, in Ebron, for Dauid hadde left hym, and he yede forth in pees.

23 Lè Joab avèk tout lame ki te avèk li a te rive, yo te pale Joab e te di: “Abner, fis a Ner a te rive vè wa a, li te voye li ale e li te sòti anpè.”

And Joab, and the oostis that weren with hym, camen aftirward; therfor it was teld to Joab of telleris, Abner, the sone of Ner, cam to the kyng, and the kyng lefte hym, and he yede in pees.

24 Alò, Joab te vini vè wa a e te di: “Se kisa ou te fè la a? Gade, Abner te vin kote ou. Alò, poukisa ou te voye li ale sòti deja?

And Joab entride to the kyng, and seide, What hast thou do? Lo! Abner cam to thee; whi leftist thou hym, and he yede, and departide?

25 Ou konnen Abner, fis a Ner a, ke li te antre pou twonpe ou, pou aprann jan ou sòti ak jan ou antre, pou dekouvri tout sa w ap fè.”

Knowist thou not Abner, the sone of Ner, for herto he cam to thee, that he schulde disseyue thee, and that he schulde knowe thi going out and thin entryng, and schulde knowe alle thingis whiche thou doist?

26 Lè Joab te sòti kote David, li te voye mesaje yo dèyè Abner. Yo te mennen li retounen soti nan pwi Sira a; men David pa t konnen.

Therfor Joab yede out fro Dauid, and sente messangeris aftir Abner; and `ledde hym ayen fro the cisterne of Cyrie, `while Dauid knew not.

27 Konsa, lè Abner te retounen Hébron, Joab te pran li akote mitan pòtay la, konsi, pou pale avèk li an prive, epi la, li te frennen li nan vant jiskaske li te mouri akoz san Asaël, frè li a.

And whanne Abner hadde come ayen in to Ebron, Joab ledde hym asidis half to `the myddil of the yate, that he schulde speke to hym in gile; and he smoot Abner there in the schar, and he was deed, in to the veniaunce of the blood of his brother Asahel.

28 Apre, lè David te tande sa, li te di: “Mwen avèk wayòm mwen an inosan devan SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan sou afè san Abner a, fis a Ner a.

That whanne Dauid hadde herd the thing doon, he seide, Y am clene and my rewme anentis God til in to with outen ende fro the blood of Abner, sone of Ner;

29 Konsa, san sa a vin tonbe sou tèt Joab avèk tout lakay papa li. Epi pou ta genyen toujou lakay li yon moun ki gen ekoulman, oswa lalèp, oswa ki oblije mache ak baton, oswa ki tonbe pa nepe, oswa ki manke pen.”

and come it on the heed of Joab, and on al the hows of his fadir; a man suffrynge flux of seed, and a leprouse man, holdynge spyndil, and fallynge bi swerd, and hauynge nede to breed, `that is, suffrynge hungur, `faile not of the hows of Joab.

30 Konsa, Joab avèk Abischaï te touye Abner akoz li te mete frè yo a lanmò nan batay Gabaon an.

Therfor Joab, and Abisay, his brother, killiden Abner, for he hadde slayn Asahel, her brother, in Gabaon, in batel.

31 Alò, David te di a Joab avèk tout moun ki te avèk li yo: “Chire rad nou e abiye nou an sak pou fè lamantasyon devan Abner.” Epi Wa David te mache dèyè sèkèy la.

Forsothe Dauid seide to Joab, and to al the puple that was with hym, To rende ye your clothis, and be ye gird with sackis, and biweile ye bifor the heersis, `ether dirige, of Abner. Forsothe kyng Dauid suede the beere.

32 Konsa, yo te antere Abner Hébron. Wa a te leve vwa li pou te kriye akote tonm Abner a, e tout moun te kriye.

And whanne thei hadden biried Abner in Ebron, kyng Dauid reiside his vois, and wepte on the biriel of Abner; `forsothe and al the puple wepte.

33 Wa a te chante yon lamantasyon pou Abner, e te di: “Èske Abner ta dwe mouri tankou yon moun fou ta mouri?

And the kyng biweilide, and bymorenyde Abner, and seide, Abner, thou diedist not as dredeful men, `ethir cowardis, ben wont to die.

34 Men ou pa t mare, ni pye ou pa t anchene. Tankou yon moun ki tonbe devan mechan yo, ou te tonbe.” Epi tout moun te kriye ankò sou li.

Thin hondis weren not boundun, and thi feet weren not greuyd with stockis, but thou feldist doun, as men ben wont to falle bifor the sones of wickidnesse. And al the puple doublide togidere, and wepte on hym.

35 Alò, tout pèp la te vini pou konvenk David manje pen pandan li te toujou nan lajounen, men David te fè ve e te di: “Ke Bondye fè m sa e menm plis, si mwen goute pen oswa nenpòt lòt bagay avan solèy la vin kouche.”

And whanne al the multitude cam to take mete with Dauid, while the dai was yit cleer, Dauid swoor, and seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde these thingis, if Y schal taast breed ethir ony othir thing bifor the going doun of the sune.

36 Alò, tout pèp la te remake afè sa a, e li te fè yo plezi, jis jan ke tout sa ke wa a te fè te fè tout pèp la plezi.

And al the puple herde; and alle thingis which the kyng dide in the siyt of al the puple plesiden hem;

37 Konsa, tout pèp la ak tout Israël te konprann nan jou sa a ke li pa t volonte a wa a pou mete Abner, fis a Ner a lanmò.

and al the comyn puple and al Israel knewe in that day, that it was not doon of the kyng, that Abner, the sone of Ner, was slayn.

38 Epi wa a te pale ak sèvitè li yo: “Èske nou pa konnen ke yon prens, yon gran òm vin tonbe nan jou sa a an Israël?

Also the kyng seide to hise seruauntis, Whether ye witen not, that the prince and gretteste felde doun to dai in Israel?

39 Mwen fèb jodi a, malgre m onksyone kòm wa. Mesye sila yo, fis a Tseruja yo twò difisil pou mwen! Ke SENYÈ a rekonpanse malfektè a selon mechanste li a.”

Forsothe Y am `delicat, ether tendir, yit and anoyntid kyng; sotheli these sones of Saruye ben hard to me; the Lord yelde to hym that doith yuel bi his malice.
