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 came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, 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.’”

Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain 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 to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and 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 and 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.”

And the king and his men went to Jerusalem to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spoke to David, saying, Except thou shalt take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.

7 Sepandan, David te kaptire fòterès Sion an, sa vle di, “vil David la”.

Nevertheless, David took the strong hold of Zion: the same [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, Whoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, [that are] hated by David's soul, [he shall be chief and captain]: Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

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 dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built around from Millo and inward.

10 David te devni gran e pi gran, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo te avèk li.

And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD 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.

And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David a house.

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 perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.

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 [him] more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

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; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,

15 Jibhar, Élishua, Népheg, Japhia,

Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

16 Élischama, Éliada, Éliphéleth.

And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

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.

But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard [of it], and went down to the hold.

18 Alò, Filisten yo te vin gaye yo nan vale Rephaïm nan.

The Philistines also came and spread themselves 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.”

And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thy hand.

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 to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon my enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

21 Yo te abandone zidòl yo la. Pou sa, David avèk mesye li yo te pote yo ale.

And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.

22 Alò, Filisten yo te monte yon fwa ankò. Yo te gaye yo nan vale Rephaïm nan.

And the Philistines came yet again, and spread themselves 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.

And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up: [but] fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

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 let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host 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.

And David did so as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou comest to Gazer.
