1 Chronicles 19
1 Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is his stead.
Apre sa, Nakach, wa lavil Amon, mouri. Se pitit gason li ki moute wa nan plas li.
2 And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
David di: -Se pou m' aji byen ak Anoun, pitit Nakach la, paske papa l' te boule byen avè m'. Se konsa, David voye mesaje al di Anoun jan sa te fè l' lapenn lè l' pran nouvèl lanmò papa l'. Mesaje David yo rive lakay Anoun nan peyi moun Amon yo pou konsole l'.
3 The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
Men, chèf moun Amon yo di Anoun konsa: -Pa konprann se sèlman pou lanmò papa ou la kifè David voye mesaje sa yo bò kote ou pou konsole ou. Wete sa nan tèt ou. Li voye yo isit la pou yo wè jan lavil la ye, pou yo gade byen sa k'ap pase nan lavil la. Konsa, pita li ka vin pran lavil la nan men nou.
4 Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and sent them away.
Sa Anoun fè lè sa a, li pran moun David te voye yo, li raze tout yon bò nan bab yo, li koupe anba rad yo ra dèyè yo, li voye yo tounen.
5 And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.
Mesye yo te wont anpil pou yo te tounen lakay yo konsa. Lè David vin konn sa ki te rive yo, li voye di yo rete lavil Jeriko, y'a tounen lakay yo lè bab yo va pouse ankò.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
Wa Anoun ak moun Amon yo vin konprann yo te fè David fache. Yo pran mil pyès ajan, yo voye chache sòlda, cha lagè, ak kavalye kay moun Aram yo lavil Narayim, lavil Maka ak lavil Zoba pou vin goumen pou yo.
7 And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.
Se konsa yo lwe sèvis tranndemil (32.000) cha lagè ki vin kanpe devan lavil Medeba ansanm ak wa lavil Maka a ak tout lame li a. Moun peyi Amon yo kite lavil yo, yo reyini ansanm pou pare pou batay la.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
David vin konnen sa. Li voye Joab ak tout lame vanyan sòlda li yo al kontre yo.
9 And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.
Moun Amon yo soti, y' al pran pozisyon devan pòtay lavil la. Wa ki te vin ede yo bò pa yo pran pozisyon nan plenn lan.
10 Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,
Joab te wè lame lènmi yo te ka atake l' ni sou devan, ni sou dèyè. Sa l' fè, li chwazi pi bon sòlda nan lame pèp Izrayèl la, li mete yo an pozisyon devan lame moun Aram yo.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
Lèfini, li mete Abichayi, frè l' la, alatèt rès lame a. Li fè yo pran pozisyon devan moun Amon yo.
12 And he said: If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will help thee.
Joab di Abichayi konsa: -Si nou wè moun Aram yo soti pou yo bat mwen, w'a vin ede m'. Konsa tou, si mwen wè moun Amon yo vle pi fò pase ou, m'a vin ede ou.
13 Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight.
Mete gason sou nou. Kouraj! Nou pral goumen rèd mare pou pèp nou an ak pou lavil Bondye nou an. Bondye va fè sa li vle li menm.
14 So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
Joab ak sòlda ki te avè l' yo mache sou moun Aram yo. Moun Aram yo kouri pou li.
15 And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem.
Lè moun peyi Amon yo wè moun Aram yo kouri ale, yo kouri tou pou Abichayi, frè Joab la, yo antre nan lavil la. Lè sa a, Joab tounen tounen l' lavil Jerizalèm.
16 But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.
Lè moun Aram yo wè moun Izrayèl yo te bat yo, yo voye yon mesaj bay moun Aram ki te lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la, pou yo pare vin goumen pou yo. Yo reyini lavil Elam. Se Chofak, chèf lame Adadezè a, ki te alatèt yo.
17 And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with him.
Lè David vin konn sa, li sanble tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden, li mache sou yo, li pran pozisyon devan yo. David ranje sòlda li yo pou li goumen ak moun Aram yo. Epi batay la konmanse.
18 But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army.
Moun Izrayèl yo fè moun Aram yo kouri met deyò. David ak sòlda li yo touye sòlda ki te sou sètmil (7.000) cha lagè ak karantmil (40.000) sòlda ki te apye. Yo touye Chofak, chèf lame lènmi an.
19 And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more.
Lè moun ki te avek Adadezè yo wè jan moun Izrayèl yo te bat yo, yo fè lapè ak David. Yo soumèt devan li. Se konsa, moun Aram yo pa t' vle vin pote moun Amon yo sekou ankò.
