2 Samuel 5
1 Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spoke, saying: 'Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
Tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon, yo di l' konsa: -Nou se moun menm ras, menm fanmi avè ou.
2 In times past, when Saul was king over us, it was thou that didst lead out and bring in Israel; and the LORD said to thee: Thou shalt feed My people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over Israel.'
Depi lontan, menm sou rèy Sayil, se ou menm ki te kòmande lame pèp Izrayèl la kote l' pase. Lèfini ankò, Seyè a te pwomèt se ou menm ki pral gouvènen pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la, se ou menm ki pral chèf yo.
3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel.
Se konsa tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo vin jwenn David lavil Ebwon. Yo pase yon kontra avè l' devan Seyè a. Yo fè seremoni, yo mete l' wa sou pèp Izrayèl la tou.
4 David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
David te gen trantan lè l' rive wa. Li kòmande pandan karantan.
5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months; and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
Antan lavil Ebwon, li kòmande moun Jida yo pandan sètan simwa. Lavil Jerizalèm, li kòmande ni moun pèp Izrayèl yo ni moun pèp Jida yo pandan tranntwazan.
6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke unto David, saying: 'Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither'; thinking: 'David cannot come in hither.'
Apre sa, wa David pati pou lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak sòlda li yo, li al atake moun Jebis yo ki te rete nan zòn sa a. Moun Jebis yo te konprann David pa ta ka antre pran lavil la. Yo di l' konsa: -Ou p'ap janm ka rive antre nan lavil nou an. Ata moun je pete ak moun enfim ka gen kont fòs pou mete ou deyò.
7 Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
Men, David pran gwo fò ki te sou tèt mòn Siyon an. Se li yo rele lavil David la.
8 And David said on that day: 'Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and getteth up to the gutter, and taketh away the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul —.' Wherefore they say: 'There are the blind and the lame; he cannot come into the house.'
Jou sa a, David te di moun pa li yo: -Tout moun ki vle atake moun Jebis yo va pase nan kannal la, y'a tonbe sou bann enfim ak je pete sa yo ki pa vle wè m' yo. Se depi lè sa a yo di moun je pete ak moun enfim pa gen dwa mete pwent pye yo nan Tanp Seyè a.
9 And David dwelt in the stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
Apre sa, David al rete nan gwo fò a, li rele l' lavil David la. Lèfini, li bati lòt kay fè wonn fò a, depi sou teras la rive bò palè a.
10 And David waxed greater and greater; for the LORD, the God of hosts, was with him.
Chak jou David t'ap vin pi fò. Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, te avè l'.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and carpenters, and masons; and they built David a house.
Se konsa, Iram, wa lavil Tir la, delege kèk mesaje bò kot David ak yon chajman bwa sèd. Li voye tou kèk bòs chapant ak bòs mason ki bati yon palè pou David.
12 And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that He had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel's sake.
Lè sa a atò, David wè tout bon vre se Seyè a menm ki te mete l' wa pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm menm ki te fè tout bagay mache byen pou gouvènman li a, akòz pèp li a, pèp Izrayèl la.
13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
Lè David kite lavil Ebwon pou li al lavil Jerizalèm, rive la li pran lòt madanm ak lòt fanm kay ki ba li lòt pitit gason ak lòt pitit fi.
14 And these are the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon;
Men jan yo te rele pitit David ki te fèt lavil Jerizalèm yo: Chamwa, Chobab, Natan, Salomon,
15 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia;
Jibka, Elichwa, Nefèg, Jafya,
16 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
Elichama, Elyada ak Elifelèt.
17 And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen yo te mete David wa pèp Izrayèl la, yo tout yo leve pou y' al mete men sou li. Lè David pran nouvèl la, li desann al kache nan yon fò.
18 Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Moun Filisti yo rive, yo pran tout fon Refayim lan pou yo.
19 And David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And the LORD said unto David: 'Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy hand.'
David pale ak Seyè a, li mande l': -Eske se pou m' atake moun Filisti yo? Eske w'ap lage yo nan men m'? Seyè a reponn li: -Wi, atake yo. M'ap lage yo nan men ou.
20 And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said: 'The LORD hath broken mine enemies before me, like the breach of waters.' Therefore the name of that place was called Baal-perazim.
David ale Baal Perazim. li bat moun Filisti yo. Lèfini, li di: -Tankou yon lavalas, Seyè a pase, li louvri yon pasaj pou mwen nan mitan lènmi m' yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Baal Perazim.
21 And they left their images there, and David and his men took them away.
Moun Filisti yo te kouri kite zidòl yo dèyè nan plenn lan. David ak moun pa l' yo pran yo pote ale.
22 And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
Moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon Refayim lan, yo pran tout plenn lan pou yo ankò.
23 And when David inquired of the LORD, He said: 'Thou shalt not go up; make a circuit behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.
David mande Seyè a sa pou l' fè. Seyè a di l': -Pa atake yo pa devan. Pase pa dèyè yo. Pare kò ou pou ou atake yo bò pye gayak yo.
24 And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself; for then is the LORD gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.'
Lè w'a tande yon bri tankou bri pye yon moun k'ap mache sou tèt pyebwa yo, w'a fonse sou yo. Paske sa vle di m'ap pran devan ou pou m' bat lame moun Filisti yo.
25 And David did so, as the LORD commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gezer.
David fè sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a. Li bat moun Filisti yo, li kouri dèyè yo depi Lavil Gebarive lavil Gezè.
