1 Istwa 11
1 Tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon, yo di l' konsa: -Nou se moun menm ras, menm fanmi avè ou.
And all Israel assembled themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Depi lontan, menm sou rèy wa Sayil, se ou menm ki te kòmande lame pèp Izrayèl la kote l' ale. Lèfini ankò, Seyè a, Bondye ou la, te pwomèt se ou menm ki pral gouvènen pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la. Se ou menm ki pral chèf yo.
Even aforetime, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah thy God said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over my people Israel.
3 Se konsa, tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon. Yo pase yon kontra avè l' devan Seyè a. Yo fè seremoni, yo mete l' wa sou pèp Izrayèl la tou, jan Seyè a te fè pwomès la nan bouch pwofèt Samyèl.
And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel according to the word of Jehovah through Samuel.
4 David mache sou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Lè sa a, lavil la te rele Jebis. Se moun Jebis yo, premye moun ki te rete nan peyi a, ki t'ap viv la toujou.
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5 Moun Jebis yo te di David: Ou p'ap janm ka rive antre nan lavil nou an. Men David pran gwo fò ki te sou tèt mòn Siyon an. Se li yo rele lavil David la.
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.
6 David pou tèt pa l' te di premye moun ki va atake moun Jebis yo, l'ap mete l' chèf, moun sa a ap grannèg nan gouvènman l' lan. Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, te premye moun ki atake. Se konsa li vin chèf.
And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
7 Apre sa, David al rete nan fò a. Se poutèt sa yo rele l' lavil David la.
And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.
8 Lèfini, li bati lòt kay fè wonn fò a, depi sou teras la rive bò palè a. Joab menm rebati rès lavil la.
And he built the city round about, even from the Millo round about; and Joab renewed the rest of the city.
9 Chak jou David t'ap vin pi fò. Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te kanpe avè l'.
And David became continually greater; and Jehovah of hosts was with him.
10 Men non chèf vanyan sòlda David yo. Se yo ki te soutni gouvènman David la ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la pou l' te ka wa, jan Seyè a te pwomèt moun Izrayèl yo sa.
And these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who shewed themselves valiant with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.
11 Pou konmanse, te gen Jakobeyam ki soti nan branch fanmi Akmoni an. Se li menm ki te chèf twa pi vanyan yo. Pou kont li, li batay ak twasan (300) moun ak frenn li ase. Li touye yo tout yon sèl kou.
And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of Hachmoni, the chief of the captains; he brandished his spear against three hundred, slain [by him] at one time.
12 Dezyèm lan te rele Eleaza, pitit gason Dodo, pitit yon moun lavil Akwo. Se te yonn nan twa pi vanyan yo.
And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite; he was one of the three mighty men.
13 Li te avèk David lè David t'ap goumen ak moun Filisti yo nan batay bò Pasdamen an. Li te nan yon jaden lòj lè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo konmanse kouri devan moun Filisti yo.
He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines were gathered together to battle; and there was [there] a plot of ground full of barley; and the people had fled from before the Philistines.
14 Se konsa, li menm ak sòlda li yo, yo tout rete kanpe nan mitan jaden lòj la, yo kenbe tèt ak moun Filisti yo, yo bat yo byen bat, yo kraze yo. Se konsa Seyè a te fè yo genyen batay la sou lènmi yo.
And they stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.
15 Yon lòt jou, nan sezon rekòt, twa nan gwoup Trant yo al jwenn David nan gwòt Adoulam lan. Lame moun Filisti yo te moute kan yo nan plenn moun Refayim yo.
And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam, when the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16 Lè sa a, David te nan fò a. Yon gwoup moun Filisti te pran lavil Betleyèm.
And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
17 Yon sèl anvi pran David, li di konsa: -Ki moun ki va fè m' bwè ti gout dlo nan pi ki nan pòtay lavil Betleyèm lan?
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!
18 Lamenm twa mesye yo desann, yo fofile kò yo nan mitan moun Filisti yo, yo pran dlo nan pi ki te nan pòtay lavil Betleyèm lan, yo pote l' vin bay David. Men, David refize bwè dlo a. Li vide l' atè, li ofri l' bay Seyè a.
And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; David however would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.
19 Li di konsa: -Seyè, mwen pa gen dwa bwè dlo sa a. Se tankou si m' ta bwè san mesye sa yo ki riske lavi yo pou y' al chache l'. Se konsa, li derefize bwè dlo a. Se sa twa vanyan gason sa yo te fè.
And he said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing! should I drink the blood of these men [who went] at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
20 Abichayi, frè Joab, te chèf trant vanyan yo. Pou kont li, avèk yon frenn nan men l', li goumen ak twasan (300) moun, li touye yo. Se konsa, tout moun t'ap nonmen non l' nan gwoup Trant vanyan yo.
And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was the chief of three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred and slew them; and he had a name among the three.
21 Se li menm ki te resevwa plis lwanj nan Trant vanyan yo. Apre sa, li vin chèf yo. Men, li pa janm rive fè sa twa pi vanyan yo te fè.
Of the three he was more honourable than the two, and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the [first] three.
22 Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, moun lavil Kabseyèl, te pitit pitit yon vanyan sòlda. Li te fè anpil bagay ki fè wè li pa t' manke kouraj. Se li menm ki te touye de pitit Ariyèl yo, moun lavil Moab. Yon jou, lanèj t'ap tonbe, li desann nan yon sitèn dlo al touye yon lyon.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
23 Li touye tou yon moun peyi Lejip, yon gwo potorik gason sèt pye sis pous wotè, ki te gen yon gwo frenn nan men li. Frenn lan te gen yon manch menm gwosè ak yon gwo mach pilon. Benaja menm al atake li ak yon baton ase. Li wete lans lan nan men moun peyi Lejip la, epi li touye l' avè l'.
He also smote the Egyptian, a man of stature, five cubits high: and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
24 Men sa Benaja, pitit gason Jeojada a, te fè. Se konsa, tout moun t'ap nonmen non l' nan gwoup Trant Vanyan yo.
These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men.
25 Se non li yo t'ap nonmen pi plis nan Trant Vanyan yo. Apre sa, li vin chèf yo. Men, li pa t' janm rive fè sa twa pi vanyan yo te fè. David te mete l' nan gad kò li.
Behold, he was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the [first] three. And David set him in his council.
