< 2 Samyèl 5 >

1 Alò, tout tribi Israël yo te vin kote David Hébron e te di: “Gade byen, nou se pwòp zo ou ak chè ou.
And all the tribes of Israel come to David to Chebron, and they said to him, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Avan, lè Saül te wa sou nou, se te ou menm sèl ki te mennen Israël antre, sòti. Epi SENYÈ a te di ou: ‘Ou va bèje pèp Mwen an, Israël e ou va yon chèf sou Israël.’”
And heretofore Saul being king over us, thou was he that didst lead out and bring in Israel: and the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be for a leader to my people Israel.
3 Konsa, tout ansyen Israël yo te vin kote wa a Hébron e Wa David te fè yon akò avèk yo devan SENYÈ a Hébron. Epi yo te onksyone David wa sou Israël.
And all the elders of Israel come to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord; and they anoint David king over all Israel.
4 David te gen laj a trantan lè l te devni wa. Li te renye pandan karantan.
David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
5 Nan Hébron, li te renye sou Juda pandan sèt ane, si mwa e nan Jérusalem, li te renye pandan trann-twazan sou tout Israël avèk Juda.
Seven years and six months he reigned in Chebron over Juda, and thirty-three years he reigned over all Israel and Juda in Jerusalem.
6 Alò, wa a avèk moun pa li yo te ale Jérusalem kont Jebizyen yo, moun ki te rete nan peyi a. Men yo te di a David: “Ou p ap antre isit la, men menm avèg yo avèk bwate yo va fè ou vire ale”. Paske yo te panse ke: “David p ap kab antre la.”
And David and his men, departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither.
7 Sepandan, David te kaptire fòterès Sion an, sa vle di, “vil David la”.
And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David.
8 David te di nan jou sa a: “Nenpòt moun ki va frape Jebizyen yo, kite li rive kote bwate yo avèk avèg yo, ki rayi pa nanm David, pa kanal dlo a.” Akoz sa, yo konn di: “Avèg ak bwate p ap antre nan kay la.”
And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
9 Konsa, David te rete nan fò a e li te rele li “Vil David la”. Epi David te bati toutotou soti nan sitadèl Milo a jis rive anndan.
And David dwelt in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and [he built] his own house.
10 David te devni gran e pi gran, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo te avèk li.
And David advanced and became great, and the Lord Almighty [was] with him.
11 Alò, Hiram, wa a Tyr la, te voye mesaje yo kote David avèk bwa sèd avèk chapant ak mason k ap kraze wòch; epi yo te bati yon kay pou David.
And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar wood, and carpenters, and stone-masons: and they built a house for David.
12 Konsa, David te vin wè ke SENYÈ a te etabli li kòm wa sou Israël, ke Li te egzalte wayòm li an pou koz pèp Li a, Israël.
And David knew that the Lord had prepared him to be king over Israel, and that his kingdom was exalted for the sake of his people Israel.
13 Antretan, David te pran plis ti mennaj avèk madanm soti Jérusalem lè l fin kite Hébron; epi plis fis avèk fi te fèt pou David.
And David took again wives and concubines out of Jerusalem, after he came from Chebron: and David had still more sons and daughters born to him.
14 Alò, sila yo se non a sila ki te fèt pou li Jérusalem yo: Schammua, Schobab, Nathan, Salomon,
And these [are] the names of those that were born to him in Jerusalem; Sammus, and Sobab, and Nathan, and Solomon.
15 Jibhar, Élishua, Népheg, Japhia,
And Ebear, and Elisue, and Naphec, and Jephies.
16 Élischama, Éliada, Éliphéleth.
And Elisama, and Elidae, and Eliphalath, Samae, Jessibath, Nathan, Galamaan, Jebaar, Theesus, Eliphalat, Naged, Naphec, Janathan, Leasamys, Baalimath, Eliphaath.
17 Lè Filisten yo te tande ke yo te onksyone David wa sou Israël, tout Filisten yo te monte pou chache jwenn David. Lè David te tande sa, li te desann nan fò a.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel; and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the strong hold.
18 Alò, Filisten yo te vin gaye yo nan vale Rephaïm nan.
And the Philistines came, and assembled in the valley of the giants.
19 Konsa, David te mande konsèy a SENYÈ a. Li te mande: “Èske mwen dwe monte kont Filisten yo? Èske Ou va livre yo nan men mwen?” SENYÈ a te reponn a David: “Monte, paske vrèman, Mwen va livre Filisten yo nan men ou.”
And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hands? and the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into thine hands.
20 Konsa, David te vini Baal-Peratism e te bat yo la. Li te di: “SENYÈ a te antre sou lènmi mwen yo devan m tankou yon dlo k ap kase.” Pou sa, li te rele plas sa a Baal-Peratsim.
And David came from Upper Breaches, and smote the Philistines there: and David said, The Lord has destroyed the hostile Philistines before me, as water is dispersed; therefore the name of that place was called Over Breaches.
21 Yo te abandone zidòl yo la. Pou sa, David avèk mesye li yo te pote yo ale.
And they leave there their gods, and David and his men with him took them.
22 Alò, Filisten yo te monte yon fwa ankò. Yo te gaye yo nan vale Rephaïm nan.
And the Philistines came up yet again, and assembled in the valley of Giants.
23 Lè David te mande konsèy a SENYÈ a, Li te di: “Ou pa pou monte. Ansèkle jis pa dèyè yo e vini sou yo pa devan pye sikomò yo.
And David enquired of the Lord: and the Lord said, Thou shalt not go up to meet them: turn from them, and thou shalt meet them near the place of weeping.
24 Li va rive, ke lè ou tande son mache a sou tèt bwa yo; alò, ou va aji vit, paske se nan lè sa a ke SENYÈ a ap gen tan sòti devan ou pou frape lame Filisten an.”
And it shall come to pass when thou hearest the sound of a clashing together from the grove of weeping, then thou shalt go down to them, for then the Lord shall go forth before thee to make havoc in the battle with the Philistines.
25 Alò, David te fè konsa, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li a, e li te bat Filisten yo soti Guéba, pou jis rive Guézer.
And David did as the Lord commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Gabaon as far as the land of Gazera.
