2 Samyèl 8
1 Konsa, li te vin rive ke David te bat Filisten yo e te mete yo anba lòd. David te pran kontwòl a vil prensipal la soti nan men a Filisten yo.
Sometime after this, David attacked and subdued the Philistines, taking Metheg-ammah from the them.
2 Li te bat Moab, li te mezire kaptif yo avèk yon lign. Konsa li te fè yo kouche atè, li te mezire longè de lign pou mete yo a lanmò, ak yon lign antye pou lèse yo viv. Epi Moabit yo te devni sèvitè a David e yo te pote peye taks obligatwa.
David also defeated the Moabites. He made them lie down on the ground, and he measured them with a length of cord. He measured two lengths for those to be killed, and one cord length for those to be allowed to live. So he made them subject to him and required them to pay taxes.
3 Alò, David te bat Hadadézer, fis a Rehob la, wa a Tsoba, pandan li te nan wout pou reprann kontwòl li nan Rivyè Euphrate la.
David also defeated Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he tried to enforce his control along the Euphrates River.
4 David te kaptire soti nan men li, mil-sèt-san chevalye avèk ven-mil sòlda a pye. Li te koupe jarèt a cheval cha yo, men li te konsève kont nan yo pou rale yon santèn cha.
David captured from him 1,000 chariots, 7,000 charioteers, and 20,000 foot soldiers. David hamstrung all the chariot horses—except he saved enough for 100 chariots.
5 Lè Siryen a Damas yo te vini pou bay sekou a Hadadézer, wa a Tsoba a, David te touye venn-de-mil Siryen.
When the Arameans of Damascus came to help King Hadadezer of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of them.
6 Epi David te mete anplasman sòlda pami Siryen Damas yo. Siryen yo te vin soumèt a David e te pote taks obligatwa. Epi SENYÈ a te ede David tout kote li te ale.
He placed garrisons in Aramean kingdom with its capital in Damascus, and made the Arameans subject to him and required them to pay taxes. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
7 David te pran boukliye fèt an lò ki te pote pa sèvitè a Hadadézer yo e li te mennen yo Jérusalem.
David took the shields of gold that belonged to Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Soti nan Béthach avèk Bérothaï, vil a Hadadézer yo, Wa David te pran yon gran kantite bwonz.
King David also took a large quantity of bronze from Betah and Berothai, towns that had belonged to Hadadezer.
9 Alò lè Thoï, wa a Hamath la te tande ke David te bat tout lame a Hadadézer a.
When Tou, king of Hamath, learned that David had destroyed the entire army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,
10 Konsa, Thoï te voye Joram, fis li a kote Wa David pou salye li e fè li felisitasyon akoz li te goumen kont Hadadézer e te bat li. Paske Hadadézer t ap fè lagè avèk Thoï. Epi Joram te mennen avèk li bagay fèt an ajan, an lò, e an bwonz.
he sent his son Joram to David to make friends with him and to congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer. Tou and Hadadezer had often been at war. Joram brought all kinds of gifts of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 Wa David te dedye sa yo osi a SENYÈ a, avèk ajan ak lò ke li te dedye soti nan tout nasyon ke Li te soumèt anba li menm yo:
King David dedicated these gifts to the Lord, along with the silver and gold he had taken from all the nations he had subdued:
12 Soti nan Syrie avèk Moab, fis a Ammon yo, Filisten yo avèk Amalekit yo, ak piyaj ki te soti osi nan Hadadézer, fis a Thoï a, wa a Tsoba a.
Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalekites; as well as the plunder taken from Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Konsa, David te vin fè yon non byen koni pou kont li, lè li te retounen soti nan touye dizui-mil Siryen nan Vale Sèl la.
David also made a name for himself when he came back after defeating eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
14 Li te etabli anplasman militè yo nan Édom. Nan tout Édom, li te fè anplasman militè e tout Edomit yo te devni sèvitè a David. Konsa, SENYÈ a te ede David tout kote li te ale.
He placed garrisons all through Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The Lord gave David victories wherever he went.
15 David te renye sou tout Israël. Li te administre lajistis avèk ladwati pou tout pèp li a.
David ruled over all Israel. He did what was fair and right for all his people.
16 Joab, fis Tseruja a te sou lame a e Josaphat, fis a Achilud la te grefye a.
Joab, son of Zeruiah, was the army commander, and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, kept the official records.
17 Tsadok, fis a Achithub la avèk Achilémec, fis a Abithar a te prèt e Tseriah te sekretè.
Zadok, son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, were priests, while Seraiah was the secretary.
18 Benaja, fis a Jehojada a te chèf sou Keretyen avèk Peletyen yo; epi fis a David yo te chèf ministè leta yo.
Benaiah, son of Jehoiada was in charge of the Cherethites and Pelethites; and David's sons were priests.
