1 Chronicles 18

1 And it came to pass after this, that David defeated the Philistines, and humbled them, and took away Geth, and her daughters out of the hands of the Philistines,

Après cela, David battit les Philistins et les humilia, et il enleva de la main des Philistins Gath et les villes de son ressort.

2 And he defeated Moab, and the Moabites were made David’s servants, and brought him gifts.

Il battit les Moabites, et les Moabites furent assujettis à David et lui payèrent un tribut.

3 At that time David defeated also Adarezer king of Soba of the land of Hemath, when he went to extend his dominions as far as the river Euphrates.

David battit Hadarézer, roi de Tsoba, vers Hamath, lorsqu’il alla établir sa domination sur le fleuve de l’Euphrate.

4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and he houghed all the chariot horses, only a hundred chariots, which he reserved for himself.

David lui prit mille chars, sept mille cavaliers, et vingt mille hommes de pied; il coupa les jarrets à tous les chevaux de trait, et ne conserva que cent attelages.

5 And the Syrians of Damascus came also to help Adarezer king of Soba: and David slew of them likewise two and twenty thousand men.

Les Syriens de Damas vinrent au secours d’Hadarézer, roi de Tsoba, et David battit vingt-deux mille Syriens.

6 And he put a garrison in Damascus, that Syria also should serve him, and bring gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all things to which he went.

David mit des garnisons dans la Syrie de Damas. Et les Syriens furent assujettis à David, et lui payèrent un tribut. L’Éternel protégeait David partout où il allait.

7 And David took the golden quivers which the servants of Adarezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

Et David prit les boucliers d’or qu’avaient les serviteurs d’Hadarézer, et les apporta à Jérusalem.

8 Likewise out of Thebath and Chun, cities of Adarezer, he brought very much brass, of which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

David prit encore une grande quantité d’airain à Thibchath et à Cun, villes d’Hadarézer. Salomon en fit la mer d’airain, les colonnes et les ustensiles d’airain.

9 Now when Thou king of Hemath heard that David had defeated all the army of Adarezer king of Soba,

Thohu, roi de Hamath, apprit que David avait battu toute l’armée d’Hadarézer, roi de Tsoba,

10 He sent Adoram his son to king David, to desire peace of him, and to congratulate him that he had defeated and overthrown Adarezer: for Thou was an enemy to Adarezer.

et il envoya Hadoram, son fils, vers le roi David, pour le saluer, et pour le féliciter d’avoir attaqué Hadarézer et de l’avoir battu. Car Thohu était en guerre avec Hadarézer. Il envoya aussi toutes sortes de vases d’or, d’argent et d’airain.

11 And all the vessels of gold, and silver, and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold which he had taken from all the nations, as well from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines, and from Amalec.

Le roi David les consacra à l’Éternel, avec l’argent et l’or qu’il avait pris sur toutes les nations, sur Édom, sur Moab, sur les fils d’Ammon, sur les Philistins et sur Amalek.

12 And Abisai the son of Sarvia slew of the Edomites in the vale of the saltpits, eighteen thousand:

Abischaï, fils de Tseruja, battit dans la vallée du sel dix-huit mille Édomites.

13 And he put a garrison in Edom, that Edom should serve David: and the Lord preserved David in all things to which he went.

Il mit des garnisons dans Édom, et tout Édom fut assujetti à David. L’Éternel protégeait David partout où il allait.

14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

David régna sur tout Israël, et il faisait droit et justice à tout son peuple.

15 And Joab the son of Sarvia was over the army, and Josaphat the son of Ahilud recorder.

Joab, fils de Tseruja, commandait l’armée; Josaphat, fils d’Achilud, était archiviste;

16 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests: and Susa, scribe.

Tsadok, fils d’Achithub, et Abimélec, fils d’Abiathar, étaient sacrificateurs; Schavscha était secrétaire;

17 And Banaias the son of Joiada was over the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi: and the sons of David were chief about the king.

Benaja, fils de Jehojada, était chef des Kéréthiens et des Péléthiens; et les fils de David étaient les premiers auprès du roi.
