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.
And Chiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, and masons, and carpenters, to build a house 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 knew that the Lord [had] designed him to be king over Israel; because his kingdom was highly exalted, on account 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 there were born to David more sons and daughters.
4 Men non pitit David ki te fèt lavil Jerizalèm: Chamwa, Choba, Natan, Salomon,
And these [are] the names of those that were born, who were [born] to him in Jerusalem; Samaa, Sobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
5 Jibka, Elichwa, Elpelèt,
and Baar, and Elisa, and Eliphaleth,
6 Noga, Nefèg, Jafya,
and Nageth, and Naphath, and Japhie,
7 Elichama, Baalyada ak Elifelèt.
and Elisamae, and Eliade, and Eliphala.
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.
And the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel: and all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard [it], and went out to meet them.
9 Moun Filisti yo rive, yo anvayi tout fon Refayim lan.
And the Philistines came and assembled together in the giants' valley.
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.
And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to him, Go up, and I will deliver them into your hands.
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.
And he went up to Baal Pharasin, and David struck them there; and David said, God has broken through enemies by my hand like a breach of water: therefore he called the name of that place, the Breach of Pharasin.
12 Moun Filisti yo te kouri kite zidòl yo dèyè. David bay lòd pou yo boule yo nan dife.
And the Philistines left their gods there; and David gave orders to burn them with fire.
13 Apre sa, moun Filisti yo tounen nan fon an ankò pou fè piyay.
And the Philistines once more assembled themselves in the giants' 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.
And David enquired of God again; and God said to him, You shall not go after them; turn away from them, and you shall come upon them near the pear 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.
And it shall be, when you shall hear the sound of their tumult in the tops of the pear trees, then you shall go into the battle: for God has gone out before you to strike the army 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.
And he did as God commanded him: and he struck the army of the Philistines from Gabaon to Gazera.
17 Se konsa toupatou yo t'ap nonmen non wa David. Seyè a te fè tout nasyon yo pè li.
And the name of David was [famous] in all the land; and the Lord put the terror of him on all the nations.
