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 spoke, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your 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.’”
In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was you who led Israel out and in. The LORD said to you, ‘You will be shepherd of my people Israel, and you will be prince 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 covenant 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-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, who spoke to David, saying, “The blind and the lame will keep you out of here,” thinking, “David can’t come in here.”
7 Sepandan, David te kaptire fòterès Sion an, sa vle di, “vil David la”.
Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.
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.”
David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites, let him go up to the watercourse and strike those lame and blind, who are hated by David’s soul.” Therefore they say, “The blind and the lame can’t 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.
David lived in the stronghold, and called it David’s city. David built around from Millo and inward.
10 David te devni gran e pi gran, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo te avèk li.
David grew greater and greater, for the LORD, 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.
Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, with cedar trees, 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.
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.
David took more concubines and wives for himself out of Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron; and more sons and daughters were born to David.
14 Alò, sila yo se non a sila ki te fèt pou li Jérusalem yo: Schammua, Schobab, Nathan, Salomon,
These are the names of those 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.
When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David, 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 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.”
David enquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to David, “Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into your 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.
David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there. Then he said, “The LORD has broken my enemies before me, like 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.
They left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
22 Alò, Filisten yo te monte yon fwa ankò. Yo te gaye yo nan vale Rephaïm nan.
The Philistines came up 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.
When David enquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up. Circle around behind them, and attack them in front of 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.”
When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then stir yourself up; for then the LORD has gone out before you to strike 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.
David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and struck the Philistines all the way from Geba to Gezer.
