2 Samuel 16

1 And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold Siba the servant of Miphiboseth came to meet him with two asses, laden with two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred cakes of figs, and a vessel of wine.

David te fèk fin kite tèt mòn lan lè li wè Ziba, domestik Mefibochèt la, k'ap vin kontre l'. Li t'ap mennen de bourik byen chaje avèk desan (200) pen, san (100) grap rezen chèch, san (100) pake fwi mi ak yon gwo veso fèt ak po bèt plen diven.

2 And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king’s household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert.

Wa David mande l': -Sa ou pral fè ak tout bagay sa yo? Ziba reponn li: -Bourik yo, se pou wa a ansanm ak fanmi li yo moute. Pen yo ak fwi yo, se pou moun ou yo manje, diven an pou yo bwè lè y'a santi yo bouke nan dezè a.

3 And the king said: Where is thy master’s son? And Siba answered the king: He remained in Jerusalem, saying: Today will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.

Wa a mande l': -Kote mèt ou, Mefibochèt, pitit pitit Sayil la? Ziba reponn: -Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, paske li di li sèten moun peyi Izrayèl yo pral renmèt li baton kòmandman ki te nan men Sayil, granpapa l' la.

4 And the king said to Siba: I give thee all that belonged to Miphiboseth. And Siba said: I beseech thee let me find grace before thee, my lord, O king.

Wa a di Ziba konsa: -Depi jòdi a, tou sa ki te pou Mefibochèt se pou ou yo ye. Ziba reponn li: -Men mwen lage kò m' nan pye ou, monwa. Mwen mande pou ou toujou kontan avè m'.

5 And king David came as far as Bahurim: and behold there came out from thence a man of the kindred of the house of Saul named Semei, the son of Gera, and coming out he cursed as he went on,

Lè wa David rive bò lavil Bakourim, yon moun fanmi wa Sayil soti lavil la vin kontre l'. Se te Chimeyi, pitit gason Gera a. Antan l'ap vanse sou David, li t'ap joure l', li t'ap ba li madichon.

6 And he threw stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people, and all the warriors walked on the right, and on the left side of the king.

Li konmanse voye wòch sou David ak sou moun pa l' yo, atout pèp la ak sòlda yo t'ap mache sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch wa a.

7 And thus said Semei when he cursed the king: Come out, come out, thou man of blood, and thou man of Belial.

Chimeyi t'ap bay David madichon, li t'ap di l': -Ale ou vouzan! Ale ou vouzan! Vakabon! Ansasen!

8 The Lord hath repaid thee for all the blood of the house of Saul: because thou hast usurped the kingdom in his stead, and the Lord hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and behold thy evils press upon thee, because thou art a man of blood.

Ou te pran plas wa Sayil la! Jòdi a Seyè a ap pini ou pou tout moun nan fanmi Sayil ou te sasinen yo. Seyè a renmèt gouvènman an nan men Absalon, pitit gason ou lan. Se konsa pou ou te fini, se ansasen ou ye!

9 And Abisai the son of Sarvia said to the king: Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? I will go, and cut off his head.

Abichayi, pitit gason Sewouya a, di wa a konsa: -Monwa, poukisa pou ou kite chen mouri sa a ap madichonnen ou konsa? Kite m' janbe lòt bò a al koupe tèt li!

10 And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so?

Wa a di Abichayi ansanm ak Joab, frè li a: -Pa antre nan sa ki pa gade nou, tande. Si se Seyè a ki di l' pou l' ban m' madichon, ki moun ki gen dwa mande l' pouki l'ap fè sa?

11 And the king said to Abisai, and to all his servants: Behold my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now a son of Jemini? let him alone that he may curse as the Lord hath bidden him.

Apre sa, David pale ak Abichayi ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo, li di yo: -Gade! Pwòp pitit gason mwen, san mwen, deyò pou l' touye m'. Ale wè pou moun sa a ki soti nan ras Benjamen yo! Kite l' ban m' madichon, si se Seyè a ki di l' ban m' madichon.

12 Perhaps the Lord may look upon my affliction, and the Lord may render me good for the cursing of this day.

Nou pa janm konnen, Seyè a va wè nan ki mizè mwen ye. Lè sa a, l'a ban m' benediksyon nan plas madichon l'ap ban m' jòdi a.

13 And David and his men with him went by the way. And Semei by the hill’s side went over against him, cursing, and casting stones at him, and scattering earth.

Se konsa, David ale chemen l' avèk tout moun li yo. Chimeyi menm t'ap mache dèyè yo sou flan mòn lan, li t'ap ba yo madichon, li t'ap voye wòch ak pousyè tè sou yo.

14 And the king and all the people with him came weary, and refreshed themselves there.

Wa a ansanm ak tout pèp la te bouke jouk yo pa t' kapab ankò lè yo rive bò larivyè Jouden. Se la yo rete pran souf.

15 But Absalom and all his people came into Jerusalem, and Achitophel was with him.

Absalon antre lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Achitofèl te ansanm ak yo.

16 And when Chusai the Arachite, David’s friend, was come to Absalom, he said to him: God save thee, O king, God save thee, O king.

Lè Ouchayi, bon zanmi David la, kontre ak Absolon, li di: -Viv wa a! Viv wa a!

17 And Absalom said to him: Is this thy kindness to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with thy friend?

Absalon di l' konsa: -Se konsa ou te bon zanmi David la? Poukisa ou pa t' ale ansanm avè l'?

18 And Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide.

Ouchayi reponn li: -Ki jan pou m' ta fè sa? Se pou moun Seyè a ansanm ak moun sa yo ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo chwazi a mwen ye. Se avè l' pou m' rete.

19 Besides this, whom shall I serve? is it not the king’s son? as I have served thy father, so will I serve thee also.

Lèfini, ki moun pou m' ta sèvi si se pa pitit mèt mwen an? Menm jan mwen te sèvi papa ou, konsa m'a sèvi ou tou.

20 And Absalom said to Achitophel: Consult what we are to do.

Apre sa, Absalon vire bò Achitofèl, li di l' konsa: -Ann antann nou sou sa nou pral fè koulye a.

21 And Achitophel said to Absalom: Go in to the concubines of thy father, whom he hath left to keep the house: that when all Israel shall hear that thou hast disgraced thy father, their hands may be strengthened with thee.

Achitofèl reponn: -Al kouche ak lòt fanm kay papa ou yo, sa li kite dèyè pou okipe palè a. Lè sa a, tout moun nan peyi Izrayèl la va konnen bagay la gate nèt ant ou menm ak papa ou. Konsa, moun ki avè ou yo ap vin pi ankouraje.

22 So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father’s concubines before all Israel.

Se konsa, yo moute yon tant pou Absalon sou teras sou do palè a. Epi la, devan tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo, Absalon kouche ak fanm kay papa l' yo.

23 Now the counsel of Achitophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man should consult God: so was all the counsel of Achitophel, both when he was with David, and when he was with Absalom.

Lè sa a, nenpòt konsèy Achitofèl te bay se tankou si se te pawòl Bondye. Ni David ni Absalon te toujou swiv konsèy li yo.
