< 2 Samuel 8 >

1 And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them; and David took the power of the capital out of the hand of the Philistines.
Apre sa, David atake moun Filisti yo ankò. Li bat yo byen bat. Se konsa li kraze pouvwa yo te gen nan peyi a, li pran peyi a nan men yo.
2 And he smote the Moabites, and measured them with a line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David's servants, [and] brought gifts.
Lèfini li bat moun peyi Moab yo. Li fè prizonye yo kouche plat atè. Pou chak twa ladan yo, li touye de, li kite yonn vivan. Depi lè sa a moun peyi Moab yo soumèt devan David nèt. Li fè yo peye taks ba li chak lè.
3 And David smote Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion by the river Euphrates.
Apre sa, li bat Adadezè, pitit gason Reyòb, wa peyi Zoba a, ki t'ap mache pran zòn ki sou anwo larivyè Lefrat la.
4 And David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen; and David houghed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] a hundred chariots.
David pran mil sètsan (1700) kavalye nan lame wa Adadezè a, li fè yo prizonye ansanm ak venmil (20.000) sòlda ki t'ap mache apye. Lè li fin wete kont chwal pou san cha lagè, li fè koupe jarèt tout rès chwal yo.
5 And the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, and David smote of the Syrians twenty-two thousand men.
Moun peyi Siri ki te rete lavil Damas yo voye yon lame pou pote Adadezè, wa peyi Zoba a, konkou. David atake yo, li bat yo tou. Li touye venndemil (22.000) sòlda.
6 And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
Apre sa, David mete kèk ganizon sòlda pa l' nan teritwa Damas la. Moun peyi Siri yo soumèt devan li. Li fè yo peye l' taks chak lè. Se konsa, Seyè a te fè David genyen tout batay kote l' pase.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
David sezi tout gwo plak pwotèj an fè chèf lame wa Adadezè yo, li pote yo lavil Jerizalèm.
8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much bronze.
Li pran yon gwo kantite kwiv li te jwenn lavil Beta ak lavil Bewotayi, ki te pou Adadezè.
9 And Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the forces of Hadadezer;
Lè Tòy, wa lavil Amat la, tande jan David te kraze tout lame Adadezè a,
10 and Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and smitten him; for Hadadezer was continually at war with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
li voye pitit li, Joram, al wè David pou di l' bonjou epi pou fè l' konpliman dèske li te bat Adadezè, paske Tòy te toutan ap fè lagè ak Adadezè. Joram te pote kado fèt an lò, an ajan ak an kwiv bay David.
11 Them also king David dedicated to Jehovah, with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated of all the nations that he had subdued:
Wa David pran tout bagay sa yo, li mete yo apa pou sèvis Seyè a ansanm ak tout lò ak ajan li te pran lakay moun lòt nasyon li te fè soumèt devan li,
12 of the Syrians, and of the Moabites, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of the Amalekites, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
ki vle di moun peyi Edon, moun peyi Moab, moun peyi Amon, moun peyi Filisti ak moun peyi Amalèk. Li fè menm bagay la tou ak tou sa li te pran apre lagè ak Adadezè, pitit Reyòb, wa Zoba a.
13 And David made him a name when he returned, after he had smitten the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand [men].
Non David te nan bouch tout moun pi rèd toujou, lè li te fin touye dizwitmil (18.000) moun peyi Edon nan fon Sèl la.
14 And he put garrisons in Edom: throughout Edom did he put garrisons; and all they of Edom became servants to David. And Jehovah preserved David whithersoever he went.
Li mete kèk ganizon sòlda pa l' nan teritwa Edon an. Moun Edon yo soumèt devan li. Li fè yo peye l' taks chak lè. Se konsa Seyè a te fè David genyen tout batay kote l' pase.
15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice to all his people.
David t'ap gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la. Li te fè tout moun jistis san patipri. Li te fè tout zafè l' dwat.
16 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;
Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te kòmandan lame a. Jozafa, pitit gason Akiloud la, te reskonsab achiv yo.
17 and Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was scribe;
Zadòk, pitit gason Akitoub la, ak Akimelèk, pitit gason Abyata a, te prèt. Seraja te sekretè.
18 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, te chèf keretyen ak peletyen yo ki te gad pèsonèl wa a. Pitit gason David yo menm te prèt.
