1 Istwa 20
1 Nan prentan apre sa, nan epòk wa yo konn soti al fè lagè, Joab pati ak pifò sòlda lame pèp Izrayèl la. Yo ravaje peyi Amon an, yo sènen lavil Raba. David menm te rete lavil Jerizalèm. Joab pran lavil la, li kraze l'.
It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 Estati Milkòm, zidòl moun Amon yo, te gen yon gwo kouwòn fèt an lò sou tèt li. Kouwòn lan te peze swasannkenz liv, li te gen yon gwo pyè koute chè ladan l'. David pran kouwòn lò ki te sou tèt zidòl la, li mete l' sou tèt pa l'. Lèfini, se pa de bagay li pa pran nan lavil la.
David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
3 Li pran moun ki te rete nan lavil la, li mete yo fè travay ak goyin, wou ak rach. Li fè menm bagay la tou nan tout lòt lavil peyi Amon an. Apre sa, David tounen lavil Jerizalèm ak tout moun li yo.
He brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to work with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Apre sa, lagè pete ankò ant moun Filisti yo ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo bò lavil Gezè. Lè sa a, Sibekayi, yon moun lavil Ousa, touye Sipayi, yon moun nan ras Arafa yo. Yo fè moun Filisti yo soumèt devan yo.
Now it happened afterward that there was again war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim; and they were subdued.
5 Pandan yon lòt batay ak moun Filisti yo ankò, Elkanan, pitit gason Jayi, touye Lami, frè Golyat, yon moun lavil Gat. Frenn Lami an te gen yon manch menm gwosè ak yon gwo manch pilon.
There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 Vin gen yon lòt batay ankò lavil Gat. Lè sa a, te gen yon sòlda bèl wotè ki te gen sis dwèt nan chak men, sis zòtèy nan chak pye. Se te yonn nan ras moun Arafa yo.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was descended from the Raphah.
7 Li t'ap pase moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan betiz. Jonatan, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David la, touye l'.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah David's brother killed him.
8 Kat sòlda peyi Filisti sa yo te soti nan ras moun Arafa yo, nan lavil Gat. David ak sòlda li yo touye yo.
These were the descendants of the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
