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.
Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “Look, we are your flesh and bone.
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.’”
In the recent past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led the Israelite army. Yahweh said to you, 'You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become ruler over 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.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before Yahweh. They anointed David king over 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.
In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
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.”
The king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land. They said to David, “You will not come here except to be turned away by the blind and the lame. David cannot come here.”
7 Sepandan, David te kaptire fòterès Sion an, sa vle di, “vil David la”.
Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, which now 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.”
At that time David said, “Those who attack the Jebusites will have to go through the water shaft to reach the 'lame and the blind' who are David's enemies.” That is why people say, “The 'blind and the lame' must not enter the palace.”
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.
So David lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. He fortified around it, from the terrace toward the inside.
10 David te devni gran e pi gran, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo te avèk li.
David became very powerful because Yahweh, the God of hosts, 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.
Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, carpenters, and masons. 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.
David knew that Yahweh had established him as king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom 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.
After David left Hebron and came to Jerusalem, he took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him.
14 Alò, sila yo se non a sila ki te fèt pou li Jérusalem yo: Schammua, Schobab, Nathan, Salomon,
These were the names of the children who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 Jibhar, Élishua, Népheg, Japhia,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 Élischama, Éliada, Éliphéleth.
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
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.
Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over Israel, they all went out looking for him. But David heard about it and went down to the stronghold.
18 Alò, Filisten yo te vin gaye yo nan vale Rephaïm nan.
Now the Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
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.”
Then David asked for help from Yahweh. He said, “Should I attack the Philistines? Will you give victory over them?” Yahweh said to David, “Attack, for I will certainly give you victory over the Philistines.”
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.
So David attacked at Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He commented, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood of water.” So the name of that place became Baal Perazim.
21 Yo te abandone zidòl yo la. Pou sa, David avèk mesye li yo te pote yo ale.
The Philistines left their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.
22 Alò, Filisten yo te monte yon fwa ankò. Yo te gaye yo nan vale Rephaïm nan.
Then the Philistines came up again and spread out once more in the Valley of Rephaim.
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.
So David sought help from Yahweh again, and Yahweh said to him, “You must not attack their front, but rather circle around behind them and come on them through the balsam woods.
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.”
When you hear the sound of marching in the wind blowing through the balsam treetops, then attack with force. Do this because Yahweh will have gone out before you to attack the army of 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.
So David did as Yahweh had commanded him. He killed Philistines from Geba all the way to Gezer.
