2 Samuel 2
1 Now after this, David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go up into any of the towns of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up. And David said, Where am I to go? And he said, To Hebron.
Apre sa, David mande Seyè a: -Eske se pou m' ale nan yonn nan lavil peyi Jida yo? Seyè a reponn li: -Wi. Se pou ou ale! David mande l': -Kote pou m' ale? Seyè a di l': -Lavil Ebwon.
2 So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
Se konsa, David pran de madanm li yo, Akenoam ki te moun lavil Jizreyèl, ak Abigayèl, vèv Nabal la, ki te moun lavil Kamèl, li pati pou Ebwon.
3 And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.
Li mennen moun ki te avè l' yo tou ansanm ak tout fanmi yo. Y' al rete lavil Ebwon ak nan tout ti bouk ki toupre l' yo.
4 And the men of Judah came there, and with the holy oil made David king over the people of Judah. And word came to David that it was the men of Jabesh-gilead who put Saul's body in its last resting-place.
Apre sa, moun Jida yo rive lavil Ebwon, yo fè seremoni pou mete David apa pou sèvi wa peyi Jida. David vin pran nouvèl se moun lavil Jabès yo, nan peyi Galarad, ki te antere Sayil.
5 And David sent to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, May the Lord give you his blessing, because you have done this kind act to Saul your lord, and have put his body to rest!
Lè sa a, li voye kèk mesaje di yo konsa: -Se pou Seyè a beni nou, paske nou moutre jan nou pa janm lage Sayil, mèt nou an. Nou antere l'.
6 May the Lord be good and true to you: and I myself will see that your kind act is rewarded, because you have done this thing.
Mwen mande Seyè a pou li aji byen ak nou tou, pou li pa janm lage nou. Mwen menm pou tèt pa m', m'ap aji byen avèk nou tou poutèt sa nou fè a.
7 Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king.
Koulye a, pran kouraj! Mete gason nou nou! Sayil, mèt nou an, mouri. Se mwen menm moun Jida yo mete apa pou wa yo.
8 Now Abner, the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Saul's son Ish-bosheth over to Mahanaim,
Abnè, pitit gason Nè a, kòmandan lame Sayil la, pran Ichbochèt, pitit gason Sayil la, li mennen l' lavil Manayim, lòt bò larivyè Jouden.
9 And made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and over Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin, that is, over all Israel.
Rive la, li nonmen Ichbochèt wa peyi Galarad, peyi Asè, peyi Jizreyèl, peyi Efrayim ak peyi Benjamen, ki vle di wa tout pèp Izrayèl la.
10 (Saul's son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was ruler for two years.) But Judah was on the side of David.
Ichbochèt, pitit gason Sayil la, te gen karantan lè yo fè l' wa peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen pandan dezan. Men, moun branch fanmi Jida yo te kanpe avèk David.
11 And the time when David was king in Hebron over the people of Judah was seven years and six months.
David te wa peyi Jida a pandan sètan sis mwa. Se Ebwon li te rete.
12 And Abner, the son of Ner, with the servants of Saul's son Ish-bosheth, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Abnè leve ansanm ak moun Ichbochèt yo, yo kite lavil Manayim, y' ale lavil Gabawon.
13 And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and came face to face with them by the pool of Gibeon; and they took up their position, facing one another on opposite sides of the pool.
Joab menm, pitit gason Sewouya a, leve ansanm ak sòlda David yo, yo kite lavil Ebwon, yo pati tou. Yo kontre ak moun Abnè yo bò rezèvwa Gabawon an. De lame yo pran pozisyon, yonn chak bò rezèvwa a.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men give a test of their strength before us. And Joab said, Let them do so.
Abnè di Joab konsa: -Annou chwazi kèk jenn gason pou yo goumen devan nou la a. Joab reponn: -Dakò!
15 So they got up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth and twelve of the servants of David.
Se konsa, douz gason nan branch fanmi Benjamen an kanpe pou Ichbochèt yon bò, douz gason kanpe pou moun David yo lòt bò.
16 And every one got the other by the head, driving his sword into the other's side, so they all went down together: and that place was named the Field of Sides, and it is in Gibeon.
Mesye yo mare goumen. Yonn pran lòt nan tèt epi yonn foure nepe yo nan kò lòt. Se konsa yo tout tonbe ansanm, yo mouri. Se poutèt sa, yo rele kote sa a nan peyi Gabawon an Elkatazourim.
17 And there was hard fighting that day; and Abner and the men of Israel gave way before the servants of David.
Apre sa, yon gwo batay pete. Moun David yo kraze Abnè ansanm ak moun Izrayèl yo.
18 There were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel: and Asahel was as quick-footed as a roe of the fields.
Tou twa pitit gason Sewouya yo te la. Se te Joab, Abichayi ak Asayèl. Asayèl te konn kouri, ou ta di yon ti kabrit mawon.
19 Asahel went running after Abner, not turning to the right or to the left.
Li pran kouri pye pou pye dèyè Abnè ki t'ap chache chape kò l'.
20 Then Abner, looking back, said, Is it you, Asahel? And he said, It is I.
Abnè vire tèt li gade dèyè. Li di: -Se pa ou menm sa, Asayèl? Asayèl reponn li: -Men wi, se mwen.
21 And Abner said, Then go to the right or to the left and put your hands on one of the fighting-men and take his arms. But Asahel would not be turned away from going after Abner.
Abnè di l' konsa: -Sispann kouri dèyè m'. Pito ou kouri dèyè yonn nan sòlda yo. Lèfini, w'a pran tou sa li genyen. Men, Asayèl pa t' vle sispann kouri dèyè l'.
22 Then again Abner said to Asahel, Go to one side, do not keep on coming after me: why will you make me put an end to you? for then I will be shamed before your brother Joab.
Yon dezyèm fwa Abnè di l': -Asayèl, m' di ou sispann kouri dèyè m' wi! Pa fòse m' touye ou! Apre sa, ki jan m'a fè pou m' parèt devan Joab, frè ou la?
23 But still he did not go to one side: so Abner gave him a back blow in the stomach with his spear, so that the spear came out at his back; and he went down on the earth, wounded to death: and all those who came to the place where Asahel went down dead, came to a stop.
Men, Asayèl pa t' vle sispann kouri dèyè l'. Lè sa a, Abnè ba li yon kou nan vant ak pwent dèyè frenn li an. Frenn lan travèse Asayèl, li soti nan do l'. Asayèl tonbe atè, li mouri frèt. Lè tout moun rive kote li te tonbe a yo rete la.
24 But Joab and Abishai went after Abner: and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is to the east of the road through the waste land of Geba.
Men Joab ak Abichayi pran kouri pi rèd dèyè Abnè. Solèy tapral kouche lè yo rive sou ti bit mòn Anma a, ki sou bò solèy leve lavil Giyak, sou chemen ki mennen nan dezè Gabawon an.
25 And the men of Benjamin came together after Abner in one band, and took their places on the top of a hill.
Moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo sanble bò kote Anbè ankò. Yo pran pozisyon pou yo goumen sou tèt yon ti mòn.
26 Then crying out to Joab, Abner said, Are fighting and destruction to go on for ever? do you not see that the end will only be bitter? how long will it be before you send the people back and make them give up attacking their countrymen?
Abnè rele Joab, li di l' konsa: -Gen lè nou p'ap janm fini ak batay sa a? Ou pa wè sa ap fini mal pou nou tou de? Se frè nou ye. Sa w'ap tann pou ou bay moun ou yo lòd pou yo sispann kouri dèyè nou?
27 And Joab said, By the living God, if you had not given the word, the people would have gone on attacking their countrymen till the morning.
Joab reponn li: -Mwen pran Bondye ki vivan an pou temwen. Si ou pa t' pale konsa se denmen maten moun pa m' yo t'ap sispann kouri dèyè ou.
28 So Joab had a horn sounded, and all the people came to a stop, and gave up going after Israel and fighting them.
Joab fè kònen klewon. Tout moun li yo rete sou sa yo te fè, yo sispann kouri dèyè moun Izrayèl yo. Se konsa batay la fini.
29 And all that night Abner and his men went through the Arabah; they went over Jordan and through all Bithron and came to Mahanaim.
Abnè ak moun pa l' yo mache nan fon Jouden an tout lannwit lan. Lèfini, yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an. Yo travèse tout zòn Bitwon an jouk yo rive lavil Manayim.
30 And Joab came back from fighting Abner: and when he had got all his men together, it was seen that nineteen of David's men, in addition to Asahel, were not with them.
Joab menm, lè li sispann kouri dèyè Abnè a, li sanble tout lame a. Te gen disnèf sòlda nan moun David yo ki pa t' reponn prezan san konte Asayèl.
31 But David's men had put to death three hundred and sixty of the men of Benjamin and of Abner's men
Patizan David yo te touye twasanswasant (360) nan patizan Abnè yo, tout nan branch fanmi Benjamen an.
32 And they took Asahel's body and put it in the last resting-place of his father in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men, travelling all night, came to Hebron at dawn.
Joab ak moun pa l' yo pran kadav Asayèl, y' al antere l' nan tonm fanmi an lavil Betleyèm. Apre sa, yo pase nwit lan ap mache. Solèy t'ap leve lè yo rive Ebwon.
