Kings II 8

1 And it came to pass after this, that David struck the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines.

David défit ensuite les Philistins, abattit leur puissance et leur enleva Métheg-Haamma.

2 And David struck Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute.

Puis il vainquit les Moabites et les mesura au cordeau, les faisant coucher par terre et destinant deux lots à la mort, un lot à la vie sauve; et Moab fut assujetti à David et devint son tributaire.

3 And David struck Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates.

Puis David battit Hadadézer, fils de Rehob, roi de Çoba, tandis qu’il marchait vers l’Euphrate pour étendre sa domination.

4 And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot [horses], and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots.

David lui captura mille sept cents cavaliers et vingt mille hommes de pied, fit mutiler tous les attelages, et n’en conserva que cent.

5 And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David struck twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian.

La Syrie de Damas vint au secours de Hadadézer, roi de Çoba; David tua aux Syriens vingt-deux mille hommes.

6 And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David wherever he went.

il mit ensuite des garnisons dans la Syrie de Damas, qui devint sujette et tributaire de David. Ainsi le Seigneur protégeait David dans toutes ses campagnes.

7 And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon.

David s’empara des boucliers d’or appartenant aux serviteurs de Hadadézer, et les transporta à Jérusalem.

8 And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture.

Egalement de Bétah et de Bérotaï, villes de Hadadézer, le roi David emporta du cuivre en grande quantité.

9 And You the king of Hemath heard that David had struck all the host of Adraazar.

Toï, roi de Hamath, ayant appris que David avait défait toute l’armée de Hadadézer,

10 And You sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and striking him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass.

envoya son fils Joram au roi David, pour le saluer et le féliciter d’avoir combattu et vaincu Hadadézer, car celui-ci était en guerre avec Toï. Il lui envoyait en même temps des vases d’argent, d’or et de cuivre.

11 And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered,

Ceux-là aussi, le roi David les consacra à l’Eternel, comme il avait consacré l’argent et l’or de tous les peuples qu’il avait soumis:

12 out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba.

des Syriens, des Moabites, des Ammonites, des Philistins, des Amalécites, comme le butin pris sur Hadadézer, fils de Rehob, roi de Çoba.

13 And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he struck Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand.

Quand il revint de battre la Syrie, David se fit encore un nom en battant dix-huit mille hommes dans la vallée du Sel.

14 And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went.

Il mit des garnisons dans l’Idumée, il en mit dans toute l’Idumée, qu’il assujettit tout entière. Et le Seigneur protégea David dans toutes ses voies.

15 And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people.

David régna sur tout Israël, et il gouverna tout son peuple avec justice et équité.

16 And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records.

Joab, fils de Cerouya, était chef de l’armée; Josaphat, fils d’Ahiloud, archiviste;

17 And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] priests; and Sasa [was] the scribe,

Çadok, fils d’Ahitoub, et Ahimélec, fils d’Ebiatar, prêtres; Seraïa, secrétaire;

18 and Banaeas son of Jodae [was] councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court.

Benaïahou, fils de Joïada, avec les Krêthi et Pelêthi; et les fils de David, ministres.
