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.
After this it came about that David attacked the Philistines and defeated them. So David took Metheg Ammah from the control of the Philistines.
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.
Then he defeated Moab and measured their men with a line by making them lie down on the ground. He measured off two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. So the Moabites became servants to David and began to pay him tribute.
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 then defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, the king of Zobah, as Hadadezer was traveling to recover his rule by 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 1,700 chariots and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for a hundred 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 Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand Aramean men.
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.
Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Arameans became servants to him and brought him tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David 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 golden shields that were on Hadadezer's servants and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Soti nan Béthach avèk Bérothaï, vil a Hadadézer yo, Wa David te pran yon gran kantite bwonz.
From Tebah and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took very much bronze.
9 Alò lè Thoï, wa a Hamath la te tande ke David te bat tout lame a Hadadézer a.
When Tou, king of Hamath, heard that David had defeated all the army of Hadadezer,
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.
Tou sent Hadoram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because David had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him, and because Hadadezer had waged war against Tou. Hadoram brought with himself objects of silver, gold, 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 set aside these objects to Yahweh, together with the silver and gold from all the nations that he conquered—
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.
from Aram, Moab, the people of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek, along with all of the plundered goods of Hadadezer son of Rehob, the 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's name was well known when he returned from conquering the Arameans in the Valley of Salt, with their eighteen thousand men.
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 throughout all of Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to him. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
15 David te renye sou tout Israël. Li te administre lajistis avèk ladwati pou tout pèp li a.
David reigned over all Israel, and he administered justice and righteousness to 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 commander of the army, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was recorder.
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, and Seraiah was scribe.
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 Kerethites and Pelethites, and David's sons were the chief officials at the king's hand.
