2 Samuel 14
1 Then Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah perceyued, that the Kings heart was toward Absalom,
Alò Joab, fis a Tseruja a te vin apèsi ke kè David te apiye anvè Absalom.
2 And Ioab sent to Tekoah, and brought thence a subtile woman, and sayd vnto her, I pray thee, fayne thy selfe to mourne, and nowe put on mourning apparel, and anoynt not thy selfe with oyle: but be as a woman that had now long time mourned for the dead.
Pou sa, Joab te voye kote Tekoa e te fè rive yon fanm avèk sajès soti la. Li te di li: “Souple, fè kòmsi se yon moun ki andèy. Mete sou ou vètman andèy depi koulye a. Pa onksyone ou avèk lwil, men fè tankou yon fanm ki te deja andèy pou mò a soti anpil jou.
3 And come to the King, and speake on this maner vnto him, (for Ioab taught her what she should say).
Apre, ale kote wa a, e pale avèk li konsa”. Epi Joab te mete pawòl nan bouch li pou pale.
4 Then the woman of Tekoah spake vnto the king, and fel downe on her face to the ground, and did obeysance, and sayd, Helpe, O King.
Alò, lè fanm a Tekoa a te pale a wa a, li te vin tonbe sou figi li e te kouche atè nèt, Li te di: “Sekou, O wa.”
5 Then the King sayd vnto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am in deede a widow, and mine husband is dead:
Wa a te di li: “Ki pwoblèm ou?” Li te reponn: “Anverite, se yon vèv ke mwen ye, paske mari mwen mouri.
6 And thine handmayd had two sonnes, and they two stroue together in the fielde: (and there was none to part them) so the one smote the other, and slew him.
Sèvant ou an gen de fis. Men yo de te goumen nan chan an e yo pa t gen pèsòn pou separe yo. Konsa, youn te frape lòt e te touye li.
7 And beholde, the whole familie is risen against thine handmayde, and they sayde, Deliuer him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the soule of his brother whome hee slewe, that we may destroy the heire also: so they shall quenche my sparkle which is left, and shall not leaue to mine husband neither name nor posteritie vpon the earth.
Koulye a, gade byen, tout fanmi an gen tan leve kont sèvant ou an. Y ap mande m lonje ba yo sila ki te frape frè li a, pou nou kab mete li a lanmò pou lavi a frè l ke li te touye a, e vin detwi eritye a tou. Konsa, yo va etenn sèl chabon limen ki rete a, pou kite mari mwen san non, san rès sou fas tè a.”
8 And the King said vnto the woman, Go to thine house, and I wil giue a charge for thee.
Alò, wa a te di a fanm nan: “Ale lakay ou e mwen va bay lòd pou ou menm.”
9 Then the woman of Tekoah said vnto the King, My lord, O King, this trespas be on me, and on my fathers house, and the King and his throne be giltlesse.
Fanm Tekoa a te di wa a: “O mèt mwen, wa a, inikite a sou mwen avèk lakay papa m; men kite wa a avèk twòn li an pa koupab.”
10 And the King sayde, Bring him to me that speaketh against thee, and he shall touche thee no more.
Konsa, wa a te di: “Nenpòt moun ki pale avè w, mennen li bò kote m e li p ap touche ou ankò.”
11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the King remember the Lord thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer many reuengers of blood to destroy, lest they slay my sonne. And he answered, As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of thy sonne fall to the earth.
Alò, li te di: “Souple, kite wa a sonje SENYÈ a, pou vanjè san an pa kontinye detwi, sof ke sa, y ap detwi fis mwen an.” Epi li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, nanpwen menm yon grenn cheve a fis ou a k ap tonbe atè.”
12 Then the woman said, I pray thee, let thine handmayde speake a worde to my lord the King. And he sayd, Say on.
Alò, fanm nan te di: “Souple kite sèvant ou an pale yon mo ak mèt mwen, wa a.” Li te di: “Pale”.
13 Then the woman sayde, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? or why doeth the King, as one which is faultie, speake this thing, that he will not bring againe his banished?
Fanm nan te di: “Alò, poukisa ou te fè yon move plan konsa kont pèp Bondye a? Paske nan pale pawòl sila a, se wa a ki koupab, kòmsi wa a pa mennen retounen sila li te ekzile a.
14 For we must needes dye, and we are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered vp againe: neither doeth God spare any person, yet doeth he appoynt meanes, not to cast out from him, him that is expelled.
Paske anverite, nou va mouri. Se tankou dlo ki gaspiye atè e ki p ap kab ranmase ankò. Men Bondye pa retire lavi, men toujou fè plan pou sila ki ekzile a pa vin jete deyò nèt de Li menm.”
15 Nowe therefore that I am come to speake of this thing vnto my lord the King, the cause is that the people haue made me afrayd: therefore thine handmayde sayd, Nowe will I speake vnto the King: it may be that the King will perfourme the request of his handmayde.
Alò, rezon pou sila ke m vini pou pale pawòl sa a de mèt mwen an, wa a, se ke pèp la te fè m pè; pou sa sèvant pa ou a te di a: ‘Kite mwen pale avèk wa a. Petèt wa a va akonpli demann lan a sèvant li an.’
16 For the King wil heare, to deliuer his handmayde out of the hande of the man that woulde destroy mee, and also my sonne from the inheritance of God.
Paske wa a va tande e delivre sèvant li an soti nan men a nonm ki ta detwi ni mwen, ni fis mwen an sou eritaj Bondye a.
17 Therefore thine handmaid sayd, The word of my lord the King shall now be comfortable: for my lorde the King is euen as an Angel of God in hearing of good and bad: therefore the Lord thy God be with thee.
Alò, sèvant ou an te di: ‘Souple kite pawòl a mèt mwen an, wa a, vin rekonfòte mwen, paske tankou zanj Bondye a, se konsa mèt mwen an, wa a, ye pou distenge sa ki bon avèk sa ki mal. Epi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye pa ou a, kapab avèk ou.’”
18 Then the King answered, and said vnto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall aske thee. And the woman sayde, Let my lord the King now speake.
Wa a te reponn e te di a fanm nan: “Souple, pa kache pou mwen anyen ke m prè pou mande ou la a.” Epi fanm nan te di: “Kite mèt mwen an, wa a, pale, souple.”
19 And the King said, Is not the hand of Ioab with thee in all this? Then the woman answered, and sayd, As thy soule liueth, my lord the King, I will not turne to the right hande nor to the left, from ought that my lorde the King hath spoken: for euen thy seruant Ioab bade mee, and he put all these wordes in the mouth of thine handmayde.
Alò, wa a te reponn e te di: “Èske men Joab mele avèk ou nan tout sa?” Epi fanm nan te reponn: “Jan nanm ou viv la, mèt mwen an, wa a, pèsòn pa kab vire ni adwat ni agoch nan anyen ke mèt mwen an, wa a, te pale a. Anverite, se te sèvitè ou a, Joab ki te kòmande mwen. Epi se te li ki te mete tout pawòl sa yo nan bouch sèvant ou an,
20 For to the intent that I should chage the forme of speach, thy seruant Ioab hath done this thing: but my lord is wise according to the wisdome of an Angel of God to vnderstande all things that are in the earth.
pou l te kab chanje aparans a bagay yo, sèvitè Joab la te fè bagay sa a. Men mèt mwen an saj, tankou sajès a zanj Bondye a, pou konnen tout sa ki sou tè a.”
21 And the King sayde vnto Ioab, Beholde nowe, I haue done this thing: go then, and bring the yong man Absalom againe.
Alò, wa a te di Joab: “Gade byen, anverite, mwen va fè bagay sa a. Pou sa, ale mennen fè tounen jennonm nan, Absalom.”
22 And Ioab fell to the grounde on his face, and bowed himselfe, and thanked the King. Then Ioab sayde, This day thy seruant knoweth, that I haue found grace in thy sight, my lord the King, in that the King hath fulfilled the request of his seruant.
Joab te tonbe figi atè, kouche nèt e te beni wa a. Epi Joab te di: “Jodi a, sèvitè ou konnen ke li twouve favè nan zye ou, O mèt mwen, wa a, akoz wa a te akonpli demann lan a sèvitè li a.”
23 And Ioab arose, and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Ierusalem.
Konsa, Joab te leve ale Gueschur pou te mennen Absalom Jérusalem.
24 And the King sayde, Let him turne to his owne house, and not see my face. So Absalom turned to his owne house, and saw not the Kings face.
Men wa a te di: “Pa kite li wè figi mwen.” Konsa, Absalom te vire kote pwòp lakay pa li, e li pa t wè figi a wa a.
25 Nowe in all Israel there was none to be so much praysed for beautie as Absalom: from the sole of his foote euen to the toppe of his head there was no blemish in him.
Alò, nan tout Israël, pa t gen lòt moun ki te pi bo ke Absalom, ki te resevwa lwanj tankou li. Soti nan talon pye li jis rive anwo tèt li, pa t gen defo menm.
26 And when he polled his head, (for at euery yeeres ende he polled it: because it was too heauie for him, therefore he polled it) he weyghed the heare of his head at two hundreth shekels by the Kings weight.
Lè l te konn taye cheve li (ki te fèt nan fen chak ane ke li te koupe li; paske li te lou sou li e pou sa, li te koupe l), li te peze cheve a tèt li nan pèz de-san sik selon balans a wa a.
27 And Absalom had three sonnes, and one daughter named Tamar, which was a fayre woman to looke vpon.
Pou Absalom te ne twa fis ak yon fi ki te rele Tamar. Se te yon fanm ki te byen bèl.
28 So Absalom dwelt the space of two yeres in Ierusalem, and saw not the Kings face.
Alò, Absalom te viv pandan dezan konplè Jérusalem e pa t wè figi a wa a.
29 Therefore Absalom sent for Ioab to sende him to the King, but he would not come to him: and when he sent againe, he would not come.
Apre, Absalom te voye dèyè Joab, pou l ta voye li kote wa a, men Joab te refize vin kote li. Konsa, li te voye ankò yon dezyèm fwa, men li pa t vini.
30 Therefore he sayde vnto his seruants, Beholde, Ioab hath a fielde by my place, and hath barley therein: go, and set it on fire: and Absaloms seruants set the field on fire.
Pou sa, li te pale a sèvitè yo pa li menm: “Gade, chan Joab la akote pa m nan ki gen sereyal lòj. Ale mete dife ladann”. Konsa sèvitè Absalom yo te mete dife nan chan an.
31 Then Ioab arose, and came to Absalom vnto his house, and sayd vnto him, Wherefore haue thy seruants burnt my field with fire?
Alò, Joab te leve rive kote Absalom lakay li a. Li te di li: “Poukisa sèvitè ou yo te lage dife nan chan mwen an?”
32 And Absalom answered Ioab, Beholde, I sent for thee, saying, Come thou hither, and I wil send thee to the King for to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? It had bene better for me to haue bene there still: nowe therefore let mee see the Kings face: and if there be any trespasse in me, let him kill me.
Absalom te reponn Joab: “Gade, mwen te voye dèyè ou, e mwen te di: ‘Vin isit la pou m kab voye ou kote wa a pou mande l: “Poukisa mwen te kite Gueschur? Li ta pi bon pou mwen si m te toujou la.”’ Pou sa, kite mwen wè figi a wa a, e si gen inikite nan mwen, kite li mete m a lanmò.”
33 Then Ioab came to the King, and told him: and he called for Absalom, who came to the King, and bowed himselfe to the grounde on his face before the King, and the King kissed Absalom.
Konsa, lè Joab te rive kote wa a e te pale li, li te rele Absalom. Konsa, li te rive a wa a e te bese li ba avèk figi li atè devan wa a e wa a te bo Absalom.
