1 Chronicles 18

1 Now after these things, it happened that David struck the Philistines, and he humbled them, and he took Gath and her daughters from the hand of the Philistines.

Il advint, après cela, que David battit les Philistins et qu'il les mit en fuite; et il leur enleva Geth avec ses bourgs.

2 And he struck Moab. And the Moabites became the servants of David, offering gifts to him.

Il vainquit Moab, et les fils de Moab lui furent asservis; et ils lui payèrent un tribut.

3 In that time, David also struck Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, in the region of Hamath, when he went forth so that he might extend his dominion as far as the river Euphrates.

David vainquit aussi, dans le pays d'Hémath, Adraazar, roi de Suba, qui s'était mis en campagne pour se rendre maître des rives de l'Euphrate.

4 Then David seized one thousand of his four-horse chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot. And he hamstrung all the chariot horses, except for one hundred four-horse chariots, which he reserved for himself.

Et David prit aux vaincus mille chars, sept mille chevaux et vingt mille piétons; puis, il énerva les attelages de tous les chars, et n'en garda que cent.

5 Then the Syrians of Damascus also arrived, so that they might offer assistance to Hadadezer, the king of Zobah. And so, David then struck of them twenty-two thousand men.

Et le Syrien de Damas marcha au secours d'Adraazar, roi de Suba, et David tua au Syrien vingt-deux mille hommes.

6 And he stationed soldiers in Damascus, so that Syria also would serve him, and would offer gifts. And the Lord assisted him in all the things to which he went forth.

Et David mit une garnison dans la Syrie de Damas, et les Syriens lui furent asservis; ils lui payèrent un tribut. Et le Seigneur protégea David partout où il porta ses armes.

7 Also, David took the golden quivers, which the servants of Hadadezer had, and he brought them to Jerusalem.

Et David prit les colliers d'or que portaient les serviteurs d'Adraazar, et il les consacra dans Jérusalem.

8 In addition, from Tibhath and Cun, cities of Hadadezer, he brought very much brass, from which Solomon made the sea of brass, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

Et David recueillit à Mathabeth (Métébac), et dans les principales villes d'Adraazar, une prodigieuse quantité d'airain, dont Salomon se servit pour fabriquer la mer d'airain, et les colonnes et tous les vases d'airain.

9 Now when Toi, the king of Hamath, had heard this, specifically that David had struck the entire army of Hadadezer, the king of Zobah,

Cependant Thoa (Thu), roi d'Hémath, apprit que David avait taillé en pièces toute l'armée d'Adraazar.

10 he sent his son Hadoram to king David so that he might petition peace from him, and so that he might congratulate him that he had struck and defeated Hadadezer. For indeed, Toi was an adversary to Hadadezer.

Et il envoya vers David son fils Aduram (Jedduram), pour lui demander la paix et le bénir à cause de sa victoire sur Adraazar; car Thoa était ennemi d'Adraazar. Et tous les vases d'or, d'argent et d'airain,

11 Moreover, all the vessels of gold and silver and brass king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had taken from all the nations, as much from Idumea, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, as from the Philistines and Amalek.

Le roi David les consacra au Seigneur de même que l'argent et l'or qu'il avait pris à toutes les nations: à l'Idumée, à Moab, aux fils d'Ammon, aux Philistins et aux fils d'Amalec.

12 Truly, Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, struck eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of the Salt Pits.

Et Abessa, fils de Sarvia, tailla en pièces quatre-vingt mille Philistins dans le val d'Aïlon.

13 And he stationed a garrison in Edom, so that Idumea would serve David. And the Lord saved David in all the things to which he went forth.

Et il mit dans la vallée une garnison, et tous les Iduméens furent asservis à David, et le Seigneur protégea David partout où il porta ses armes.

14 Therefore, David reigned over all of Israel, and he executed judgment and justice among all his people.

Ainsi, David régna sur tout Israël, et il jugea tout son peuple selon l'équité.

15 Now Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was over the army, and Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.

Joab, fils de Sarvia, commandait l'armée; Josaphat, fils d'Achilud, recueillait les actes publics.

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

Sadoc, fils d'Achitob, et Achimélech, fils d'Abiathar, étaient prêtres, et Susa (Sasa), scribe.

17 Also, Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the legions of the Cherethites and Pelethites. But the sons of David were first at the hand of the king.

Et Banaïas, fils de Joad, commandait Chéléthi et Phéléthi, et les fils de David étaient les premiers lieutenants du roi.
