1 Istwa 14
1 Iram, wa lavil Tir la, delege kèk mesaje bò kote David ak yon chajman bwa sèd. Li voye tou kèk bòs mason ak bòs chapant pou bati yon palè pou li.
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent envoys to David, along with cedar logs, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him.
2 Lè sa a atò, David wè tout bon vre se Seyè a menm ki te mete l' wa pèp Izrayèl la, epi ki te fè tout bagay mache byen pou gouvènman li, akòz pèp Bondye a, pèp Izrayèl la.
And David realized that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had highly exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
3 Lè David te lavil Jerizalèm, li pran lòt madanm ki ba li lòt pitit gason ak lòt pitit fi.
And David took more wives in Jerusalem and became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Men non pitit David ki te fèt lavil Jerizalèm: Chamwa, Choba, Natan, Salomon,
These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Jibka, Elichwa, Elpelèt,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Noga, Nefèg, Jafya,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Elichama, Baalyada ak Elifelèt.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen yo te mete David wa pou tout pèp Izrayèl la, yo tout yo leve pou y' al mete men sou li. Lè David li menm pran nouvèl la, li soti al kontre yo.
When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.
9 Moun Filisti yo rive, yo anvayi tout fon Refayim lan.
Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.
10 David pale ak Bondye, 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.
So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11 David moute Baal Perazim, li kraze moun Filisti yo. Le sa a, David di: -Tankou yon lavalas, Bondye sèvi avè m' pou l' louvri yon pasaj nan mitan lènmi m' yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele kote sa a Baal Perazim.
So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.
12 Moun Filisti yo te kouri kite zidòl yo dèyè. David bay lòd pou yo boule yo nan dife.
There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.
13 Apre sa, moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon an ankò pou fè piyay.
Once again the Philistines raided the valley.
14 David mande Bondye sa pou li fè. Bondye di li: -Pa atake yo pa devan bò isit la. Fè yon detou, pase pa dèyè yo. W'a atake yo bò pye gayak yo.
So David again inquired of God, who answered him, “Do not march up after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.
15 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 se mwen menm Bondye k'ap pran devan ou pou bat lame moun Filisti yo.
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
16 David fè sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a. Yo bat lame moun Filisti yo, yo kouri dèyè yo depi lavil Geba rive lavil Gezè.
So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 Se konsa toupatou yo t'ap nonmen non wa David. Seyè a te fè tout nasyon yo pè li.
And David’s fame went out into every land, and the LORD caused all nations to fear him.
