1 Chronicles 18

1 And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns 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 overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.

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

3 Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by 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 war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

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 when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.

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

6 Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever 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 the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.

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

8 And from Tibhath and from Cun, towns of Hadadezer, David took a great store of brass, of which Solomon made the great brass water-vessel and the brass pillars and vessels.

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 Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,

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

10 He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

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 These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.

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 when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,

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

13 David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever 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 was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

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

15 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the army; and Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was keeper of the records.

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

16 And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;

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

17 And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief of those whose places were at the king's side.

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