1 Chronicles 11
1 Then the people of Israel came to David at Hebron [town] and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you have.
Or, tout Israël s'assembla vers David, à Hébron, en disant: Voici nous sommes tes os et ta chair;
2 In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli [soldiers in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh our God promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
Même ci-devant, quand Saül était roi, c'est toi qui faisais sortir et qui ramenais Israël. Et l'Éternel, ton Dieu, t'a dit: Tu paîtras mon peuple d'Israël, et tu seras le chef de mon peuple d'Israël.
3 So all the Israeli elders came to David at Hebron. And David made a sacred agreement with them while Yahweh was listening. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people. That is what Yahweh had previously told [the prophet] Samuel would happen.
Tous les anciens d'Israël vinrent donc vers le roi à Hébron, et David fit alliance avec eux à Hébron, devant l'Éternel; et ils oignirent David pour roi sur Israël, selon la parole de l'Éternel, prononcée par Samuel.
4 David and all the Israeli [soldiers] [SYN] went to Jerusalem. [At that time, ] Jerusalem was called Jebus, and the people who lived there were the Jebus people-group.
Puis David marcha avec tout Israël sur Jérusalem, qui est Jébus; là étaient les Jébusiens, habitants du pays.
5 Those people said to David, “Your [soldiers] will not be able to get inside our city!” But David’s [soldiers] captured the city, even though it had strong walls around it, and since then it has been called ‘The City of David’.
Et les habitants de Jébus dirent à David: Tu n'entreras point ici. Mais David s'empara de la forteresse de Sion; c'est la cité de David.
6 [What happened was this: ]: David said [to his soldiers], “The one who leads [our soldiers] to attack the Jebus people-group will become the commander of all my army.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led the soldiers, so he became the commander of all the army.
Or, David avait dit: Quiconque aura battu le premier les Jébusiens, sera chef et prince. Joab, fils de Tséruja, monta le premier, et il devint chef.
7 [After they captured] the city which had strong walls around it, David moved there. That is why they named it ‘The City of David’.
Et David habita dans la forteresse; c'est pourquoi on l'appela la cité de David.
8 David’s workers rebuilt the city, starting where the land was filled in and extending to the wall that was around the city. Joab’s [men] repaired the other parts of the city.
Il bâtit la ville tout autour, depuis Millo et aux environs; et Joab répara le reste de la ville.
9 David became more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
Et David allait s'avançant et grandissant, et l'Éternel des armées était avec lui.
10 Yahweh had promised [that David would become the king]. And all the Israeli people (were happy that David was/supported David as) their king. There were many soldiers/warriors who helped David’s kingdom to remain strong.
Voici les chefs des hommes vaillants qu'avait David, et qui l'aidèrent, avec tout Israël, dans sa royauté, pour le faire régner, selon la parole de l'Éternel au sujet d'Israël.
11 This is a list of the leaders of David’s [most mighty] warriors: Jashobeam was from the Hacmon clan. He was one of the leaders of David’s most powerful soldiers. One time he fought against 300 enemies and killed them all with his spear.
Voici donc le nombre des hommes vaillants qu'avait David: Jashobeam, fils de Hacmoni, chef de ceux qui combattaient sur des chars. Il brandit sa lance sur trois cents hommes, qu'il fit périr en une seule fois.
12 Another one was Eleazar, who was the son of Dodo from the clan of Ahoh.
Après lui, Éléazar, fils de Dodo, l'Achochite, l'un des trois hommes vaillants.
13 [One day] he was with David at Pas Dammim when the soldiers of Philistia gathered there for the battle. There was a field of barley there. At first the Israeli soldiers ran away from the soldiers of Philistia,
C'est lui qui était avec David à Pas-Dammin, où les Philistins s'étaient assemblés pour combattre. Il y avait une portion de champ remplie d'orge; et le peuple fuyait devant les Philistins.
14 but then David and Eleazar stopped in the middle of the field and fought to defend it and killed [many of] the soldiers of Philistia. Yahweh enabled them to win a great victory on that day.
lls se placèrent au milieu du champ, le défendirent, et battirent les Philistins. Et l'Éternel accorda une grande délivrance.
15 One time three of David’s thirty most mighty warriors came to David when he was camping next to the huge rock outside the cave near Adullam. At that same time, the army of Philistia had camped in the Rephaim Valley.
Trois des trente chefs descendirent sur le rocher, vers David, dans la caverne d'Adullam, lorsque le camp des Philistins était dressé dans la vallée des Réphaïm.
16 David was in a fortress, and some of the soldiers of Philistia were occupying Bethlehem.
David était alors dans la forteresse, tandis qu'une garnison des Philistins était à Bethléhem.
17 [One day] David was very thirsty and said, “I wish that someone would bring me some water from the well near the gate at Bethlehem!”
Et David fit un souhait, et dit: Qui me fera boire de l'eau du puits qui est à la porte de Bethléhem?
18 So those three most outstanding warriors forced their way through the camp of Philistia soldiers and drew some water from the well, and brought it to David. But he would not drink it. Instead, he poured it out [on the ground to be an offering] to Yahweh.
Alors ces trois hommes passèrent au travers du camp des Philistins, et puisèrent de l'eau du puits qui est à la porte de Bethléhem; et l'ayant apportée, ils la présentèrent à David; mais David ne voulut pas la boire, et il la répandit devant l'Éternel.
19 He said, “Yahweh, it would certainly not be right for me to drink this water! That would be like [RHQ] drinking the blood of these men who were willing/ready to die for me!” So he refused to drink it. That was one of the things that those three most outstanding warriors did.
Et il dit: Que mon Dieu me garde de faire cela! Boirais-je le sang de ces hommes qui sont allés au péril de leur vie? Car ils m'ont apporté cette eau au péril de leur vie. Et il ne voulut pas la boire. Voilà ce que firent ces trois hommes vaillants.
20 Joab’s [younger] brother Abishai was the leader of the 30 most mighty warriors. [One time] Abishai fought 300 [enemy] soldiers with his spear and killed them.
Abishaï, frère de Joab, était le chef des trois. Il brandit sa lance sur trois cents hommes, qu'il frappa à mort; et il eut du renom parmi les trois.
21 So he became as famous as those three most outstanding warriors. He became their commander, even though he was not one of those three men.
Entre les trois il fut plus honoré que les deux autres, et fut leur chef; toutefois, il n'égala point les trois premiers.
22 Jehoiada’s son Benaiah was a brave soldier from Kabzeel [town] who did heroic deeds. He killed two of the best warriors from [the] Moab [people-group]. One day he went down into a pit when snow was falling [on the ground] and killed a lion there.
Bénaja, fils de Jéhojada, fils d'un homme vaillant, grand par ses exploits, de Kabtséel. Il tua deux des plus puissants hommes de Moab. Il descendit aussi et tua un lion, au milieu d'une fosse, en un jour de neige.
23 He also killed a soldier from Egypt who was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) tall. The soldier from Egypt carried a spear that was as long as a weaver’s rod. Benaiah had [only] a club, but he grabbed the other man’s spear and killed him with it.
Il frappa un Égyptien dont la stature était de cinq coudées. L'Égyptien avait en sa main une lance comme une ensuble de tisserand; il descendit vers lui avec un bâton, arracha la lance de la main de l'Égyptien, et le tua de sa propre lance.
24 Those are some of the things that Benaiah did. So he became as famous as the three mighty warriors.
Voilà ce que fit Bénaja, fils de Jéhojada, et il eut un nom parmi ces trois vaillants hommes.
25 He was more honored than the other members of the group of thirty most mighty warriors, but he did not become a member of the group of three most outstanding warriors. David appointed him to be the leader of his bodyguards.
Il était le plus honoré des trente, mais il n'égala pas les trois premiers. David le mit en son conseil privé.
