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 came to David in Chebron, saying, Behold, we [are] your bones and your 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.
And heretofore when Saul was king, you were he that led Israel in and out, and the Lord of Israel said to you, You shall feed my people Israel, and you shall be for a ruler over 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 Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by 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 the king and his men went to Jerusalem, this [is] Jebus; and there the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land said to David,
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.
You shall not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this [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 first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief.
7 Apre sa, David al rete nan fò a. Se poutèt sa yo rele l' lavil David la.
And David lived in the strong hold; therefore he 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 fortified the city round about.
9 Chak jou David t'ap vin pi fò. Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te kanpe avè l'.
And David continued to increase, and the Lord Almighty [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 chiefs of the mighty men, whom David had, who strengthened [themselves] with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord 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 list of the mighty [men] of David; Jesebada, son of Achaman, first of the thirty: he drew his sword once against three hundred whom he killed 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 son of Dodai, the Achochite: he was among 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 in Phasodamin, and the Philistines were gathered there to battle, and [there was] a portion of the field full of barley; and the people fled 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 he stood in the midst of the portion, and rescued it, and struck the Philistines; and the Lord 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 Odollam, and the camp of the Philistines [was] in the giants' valley.
16 Lè sa a, David te nan fò a. Yon gwoup moun Filisti te pran lavil Betleyèm.
And David [was] then in the hold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then in Bethleem.
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, Who will give me water to drink of the well of Bethleem, that 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 they drew water out of the well that was in Bethleem, which was in the gate, and they took it, and came to David: but David would not drink it, and poured it out to the Lord, and said,
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.
God forbid that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men with their lives? for with [the peril of] their lives they brought it. So 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 Abisa the brother of Joab, he was chief of three: he drew his sword against three hundred slain at one time, and he had a name among the [second] 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.
He was more famous than the two [others] of the three, and he was chief [over] them; yet he reached not 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.
And Banaia the son of Jodae was the son of a mighty man: many [were] his acts for Cabasael: he struck two lion-like men of Moab, and he went down and struck a lion in 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'.
And he struck an Egyptian, a wonderful man five cubits [high]; and in the hand of the Egyptian [there was] a spear like a weavers' beam; and Banaia went down to him with a staff, and took the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and killed 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 Banaia son of Jodae, and his name [was] among the three mighties.
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.
He was distinguished beyond the thirty, yet he reached not to the [first] three: and David set him over his family.
