Kings II 17
1 And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Let me now choose out for myself twelve thousand men, and I will arise and follow after David this night:
Apre sa, Achitofèl di Absalon konsa: -Kite m' chwazi douzmil (12.000) sòlda. M'ap pati aswè a menm dèyè David.
2 and I will come upon him when he [is] weary and weak-handed, and I will strike him with terror; and all the people with him shall flee, and I will strike the king only of all.
M'ap pwofite antan li tou bouke, tou dekouraje a, m'ap atake l', m'ap fè l' pè. Lè sa a, tout moun ki avè l' yo va kraze rak. Se wa a ase m'ap touye.
3 And I will bring back all the people to you, as a bride returns to her husband: only you seek the life of one man, and all the people shall have peace.
Lèfini, m'ap mennen tout lòt moun yo vin jwenn ou, menm jan yon madan marye tounen vin jwenn mari l'. Se yon sèl moun ou vle yo touye, pa vre. Apre sa, repo pou tout moun.
4 And the saying [was] right in the eyes of Abessalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
Koze a te fè Absalon ak tout chèf moun Izrayèl yo plezi.
5 And Abessalom said, Call now also Chusi the Arachite, and let us hear what [is] in his mouth, even in his also.
Absalon di konsa: -Rele Ouchayi, moun peyi Ak la. Ann tande sa li gen pou l' di nou.
6 And Chusi went in to Abessalom, and Abessalom spoke to him, saying, After this manner spoke Achitophel: shall we do according to his word? but if not, do you speak.
Lè Ouchayi rive, Absalon di l' konsa: -Men konsèy Achitofèl ban nou. Eske se pou nou fè sa li di nou fè a? Si ou pa dakò, di nou sa pou nou fè.
7 And Chusi said to Abessalom, This counsel which Achitophel has counselled this one time [is] not good.
Ouchayi reponn li: -Fwa sa a, konsèy Achitofèl bay la pa bon menm.
8 And Chusi said, You know your father and his men, that they are very mighty, and bitter in their spirit, as a bereaved bear in the field, [and as a wild boar in the plain]: and your father [is] a man of war, and will not give the people rest.
Ou konnen jan papa ou ak moun pa li yo vanyan gason? Koulye a, yo move tankou yon manman lous ki pèdi pitit li. Papa ou se yon sòlda ki gen anpil esperyans nan fè lagè. Li p'ap janm rete pase lannwit menm kote ak moun li yo.
9 For, behold, he is now hidden in one of the hills or in some [other] place: and it shall come to pass when he falls upon them at the beginning, that [some one] will certainly hear, and say, There has been a slaughter among the people that follow after Abessalom.
Koulye a li dwe kache nan yon gwòt osinon yon lòt kote. Premye atak David va fè sou moun ou yo, moun pral konn sa, y'a di: David bat patizan Absalon yo.
10 Then even he [that is] strong, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, —it shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that your father [is] mighty, and they that are with him [are] mighty men.
Lè sa a, menm sòlda ki pi vanyan yo, sa ki tankou lyon, ki pa pè anyen yo, pral pèdi kouraj, paske tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo konnen jan papa ou se sòlda ki konn goumen, jan moun pa l' yo se brave danje.
11 For thus I have surely given counsel, that all Israel be generally gathered to you from Dan even to Bersabee, as the sand that is upon the sea-shore for multitude: and that your presence go in the midst of them.
Men konsèy mwen menm m'ap bay: Fè sanble dènye gason nan tout peyi Izrayèl la, depi lavil Dann jouk lavil Bècheba, pou yo tankou grenn sab bò lanmè. Lèfini, ou menm w'a mache alatèt yo.
12 And we will come upon him in one of the places where we shall find him, and we will encamp against him, as the dew falls upon the earth; and we will not leave of him and of his men so much as one.
Nenpòt kote David ye, n'a tonbe sou li tankou lawouze sou fèy bwa, n'a atake l' anvan menm li konnen sa k'ap rive l'. Nou p'ap kite pesonn chape, ni li, ni yonn nan moun pa l' yo.
13 And if he shall have taken refuge with his army in a city, then shall all Israel take ropes to that city, and we will draw it even into the river, that there may not be left there even a stone.
Si li al kache kò l' nan yon lavil, tout moun Izrayèl yo va pran kòd, y'a mare lavil la, y'a trennen l' al jete anba nan fon an. Yo pa t' kite yon grenn wòch sou tèt mòn kote lavil la te ye a.
14 And Abessalom, and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Chusi the Arachite [is] better than the counsel of Achitophel. For the Lord ordained to disconcert the good counsel of Achitophel, that the Lord might bring all evil upon Abessalom.
Absalon ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo di: -Konsèy Ouchayi, moun Ak la, pi bon pase pa Achitofèl la. Sa te pase konsa, paske Seyè a te deside pou li pa t' kite yo swiv konsèy Achitofèl la pou malè te ka tonbe sou Absalon.
15 And Chusi the Arachite said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus Achitophel counselled Abessalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
Apre sa, Ouchayi rele Zadòk ak Abyata, prèt yo, li di yo: -Men konsèy Achitofèl te bay Absalon ak chèf fanmi moun Izrayèl yo. Men konsèy mwen menm mwen te ba yo.
16 And now send quickly and report to David, saying, Lodge not this night in Araboth of the wilderness: even go and make haste, lest [one] swallow up the king, and all the people with him.
Koulye a, prese voye komisyon bay David. Di li pa rete pase nwit nan plenn dezè a. Se pou l' al pi lwen toujou pou yo pa touye l' ansanm ak moun pa li yo.
17 And Jonathan and Achimaas stood by the well of Rogel, and a maidservant went and reported to them, and they go and tell king David; for they might not be seen to enter into the city.
Jonatan, pitit Abyata a, ak Akimaz, pitit Zadòk la, te rete bò sous Lesivèz yo ap tann, paske yo pa t' ka antre nan lavil la pou moun pa t' wè yo. Se yon sèvant ki te konn al pote nouvèl sa k'ap pase ba yo pou yo te ka al avèti wa David.
18 But a young man saw them and told Abessalom: and the two went quickly, and entered into the house of a man in Baurim; and he had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
Men, yon ti gason bare yo, li al di Absalon sa. De mesye yo kouri al kache lakay yon moun ki te rete lavil Bakourim. Nonm lan te gen yon pi nan lakou lakay li. Mesye yo desann al kache ladan l'.
19 And a woman took a covering, and spread it over the mouth of the well, and spread out ground corn upon it to dry, and the thing was not known.
Madanm nonm lan pran yon gwo dra, li kouvri bouch pi a. Lèfini, li simen grenn pile sou li, konsa pesonn pa wè sa ki anba dra a.
20 And the servants of Abessalom came to the woman into the house, and said, Where [are] Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman said to them, They are gone a little way beyond the water. And they sought and found them not, and returned to Jerusalem.
Moun Absalon yo vini nan kay la, yo mande madanm lan: -Kote Akimaz ak Jonatan? Madanm lan reponn: -Yo janbe lòt bò dlo a. Mesye Absalon yo chache, men yo pa jwenn yo. Apre sa, yo tounen tounen yo lavil Jerizalèm.
21 And it came to pass after they were gone, that they came up out of the pit, and went on their way; and reported to king David, and said to David, Arise you and go quickly over the water, for thus has Achitophel counselled concerning you.
Lè yo fin ale, Akimaz ak Jonatan soti nan pi a, y' al pote nouvèl bay wa David. Yo rakonte l' ki konsèy Achitofèl te bay Absalon. Epi yo di l': -Prese janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden.
22 And David rose up and all the people with him, and they passed over Jordan till the morning light; there was not one missing who did not pass over Jordan.
Se konsa David leve ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo, yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden. Lè bajou kase, yo tout te gen tan lòt bò larivyè a.
23 And Achitophel saw that his counsel was not followed, and he saddled his ass, and rose and departed to his house into his city; and he gave orders to his household, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
Lè Achitofèl wè yo pa t' soti pou swiv konsèy li te bay la, li sele bourik li, li tounen lakay li nan peyi l'. Lè li fin regle tout zafè l', li pann tèt li. Se konsa li mouri. Apre sa, yo antere l' nan kavo papa l'.
24 And David passed over to Manaim: and Abessalom crossed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Lè Absalon ansanm ak moun li yo rive pou yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, David te gen tan rive lavil Manayim.
25 And Abessalom appointed Amessai in the room of Joab over the host. And Amessai was the son of a man whose name was Jether of Jezrael: he went in to Abigaia the daughter of Naas, the sister of Saruia the mother of Joab.
Absalon te chwazi Amasa pou kòmande lame a nan plas Joab. Amasa sa a te pitit gason Jitra, yon moun fanmi Izmayèl. Manman l' te rele Abigal, pitit fi Nach, sè Sewouya, manman Joab.
26 And all Israel and Abessalom encamped in the land of Galaad.
Absalon ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo moute tant yo nan peyi Galarad.
27 And it came to pass when David came to Manaim, that Uesbi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Amiel of Lodabar, and Berzelli the Galaadite of Rogellim,
Lè David rive lavil Manayim, gen twa moun ki vin jwenn li. Se te Choni, pitit gason Nach, moun lavil Raba, kapital peyi Amon an, Maki, pitit gason Amyèl, moun lavil Lodeba, ak Bazilayi, moun lavil Wogelim nan peyi Galarad.
28 brought ten embroidered beds, (with double coverings, ) and ten caldrons, and earthenware, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and meal, and beans, and pulse,
Twa mesye sa yo te pote bagay pou moun kouche, bòl, kaswòl ak manje pou David ak moun pa l' yo. Te gen ble, lòj, farin, grenn griye, ti pwa ak gwo pwa tout kalite,
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheeses of kine: and they brought them to David and to his people with him to eat; for [one] said, The people [is] faint and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.
siwo myèl, bè, fwomaj lèt bèf, fwomaj lèt mouton. Yonn te di lòt: -Apre tout mache sa a nan dezè a, moun sa yo dwe grangou, yo dwe swaf, yo dwe bouke kont kò yo.
