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'.
And it came to pass, that after the year had expired, at the time that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed 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.
And David took the crown of their king from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and [there were] precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also a great quantity of spoil out of the city.
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.
And he brought out the people that [were] in it, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And 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.
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, [that was] of the children of the giant: 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.
And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear-staff [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.
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant.
7 Li t'ap pase moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan betiz. Jonatan, pitit gason Chimeya, frè David la, touye l'.
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, slew 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 born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
