2 Samyèl 20

1 Nan lavil Gilgal te gen yon nonm yo te rele Cheba, pitit Bikri, nan branch fanmi Benjamen an. Se te yon vakabon. Li manche twonpèt li, li rele pèp la, epi li di yo byen fò: -Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak David! Nou pa bezwen anyen nan zafè pitit Izayi a! Ann al lakay nou, nou menm moun peyi Izrayèl yo!

And there he was met a man of worthlessness and name his [was] Sheba [the] son of Bicri a man a Jaminite and he gave a blast on the trumpet and he said not [belongs] to us a portion in David and not an inheritance [belongs] to us in [the] son of Jesse everyone to tents his O Israel.

2 Se konsa moun peyi Izrayèl yo vire do bay David pou yo swiv Cheba, pitit Bikri a. Men, moun peyi Jida yo rete ak David. Yo swiv li depi larivyè Jouden rive lavil Jerizalèm.

And he went up every man of Israel from after David after Sheba [the] son of Bicri and [the] man of Judah they clung to king their from the Jordan and to Jerusalem.

3 Lè David rive nan palè li lavil Jerizalèm, li pran dis fanm kay li te kite pou okipe palè a, li fèmen yo nan yon kay apa ak moun pou siveye yo. Li ba yo tou sa yo bezwen, men li pa janm kouche ak yo yonn ankò. Yo rete fèmen la tout rès lavi yo, tankou fanm ki pèdi mari yo.

And he came David to house his Jerusalem and he took the king [the] ten women - concubines whom he had left to keep the house and he put them a house of confinement and he sustained them and into them not he went and they were locked up until [the] day died they widowhood of living.

4 Apre sa, wa a pale ak Amasa, li di l' konsa: -M' ba ou twa jou pou ou sanble tout mesye Jida yo. Apre sa, w'a vin ak yo devan m'.

And he said the king to Amasa summon to me [the] man of Judah three days and you here stand.

5 Amasa pati al avèti mesye Jida yo. Men, li pa tounen dat wa a te ba li pou l' te tounen an.

And he went Amasa to summon Judah (and he was delayed *QK) from the appointed time which he had appointed for him.

6 Wa a rele Abichayi, li di l' konsa: -Cheba pral ban nou plis traka pase Absalon. Pran kòmandman lame mwen an. Pati dèyè l' anvan li gen tan jwenn yon lavil ak gwo ranpa pou l' chape anba men nou.

And he said David to Abishai now he will be bad for us Sheba [the] son of Bicri more than Absalom you take [the] servants of master your and pursue after him lest he has found for himself cities fortified and he will tear out eye our.

7 Se konsa sòlda Joab yo, keretyen yo ak peletyen yo ak tout lòt vanyan sòlda ki te nan lame wa a kite lavil Jerizalèm ak Abichayi, yo pati dèyè Cheba.

And they went out after him [the] men of Joab and the Kerethite[s] and the Pelethite[s] and all the warriors and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.

8 Lè yo rive bò gwo wòch ki nan lavil Gibeyon an, Amasa vin kontre ak yo. Joab te gen rad batay li sou li ak yon nepe nan djenn li mare nan ren l'. Joab vanse devan l'. Nepe a soti nan djenn lan, li tonbe atè.

They [were] near the stone great which [is] in Gibeon and Amasa he came before them and Joab [was] girded - robe his clothing his (and over it *Qk) a belt of a sword [was] fastened on loins his in sheath its and he he went forward and it fell.

9 Joab di Amasa: -Ban m' nouvèl ou non, zanmi. Epi li kenbe l' nan bab ak men dwat li pou l' bo li.

And he said Joab to Amasa ¿ peace [are] you O brother my and it took hold [the] hand of [the] right of Joab on [the] beard of Amasa to kiss him.

10 Amasa menm pa fè atansyon lòt nepe Joab te kenbe nan men gòch li a. Joab djage l' nan vant. Tout trip li soti deyò. Li mouri la menm. Konsa, Joab pa t' bezwen ba li yon dezyèm kou. Apre sa, Joab ak Abichayi, frè l' la, pati dèyè Cheba.

And Amasa not he took heed to the sword - which [was] in [the] hand of Joab and he struck him with it into the belly and he poured out bowels his [the] ground towards and not he repeated to him and he died. And Joab and Abishai brother his he pursued after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.

11 Yonn nan sòlda Joab yo te kanpe bò kadav Amasa a. Li pran rele byen fò: -Tout moun ki pou Joab ak David, se pou yo swiv Joab!

And a man he stood over him one of [the] young men of Joab and he said who? [is [the] one] who he delights in Joab and who? [is [the] one] who [belongs] to David after Joab.

12 Men, kadav Amasa a, tou plen san, te blayi nan mitan wout la. Lè sòlda Joab la wè chak fwa yon moun rive devan kadav la li rete, li pran kadav Amasa a, li trennen l' nan yon jaden sou kote wout la, li voye yon rad sou li.

And Amasa [was] wallowing in blood in [the] middle of the highway and he saw the man that it stopped all the people and he brought round Amasa from the highway the field and he threw over him a garment when he saw all who came on him and he stopped.

13 Lè li wete kadav la nan mitan wout la, tout lame a pase, yo pati ak Joab dèyè Cheba, pitit Bikri a.

When he had removed [him] from the highway he passed by every person after Joab to pursue after Sheba [the] son of Bicri.

14 Cheba bò pa l' menm te pase nan tout peyi ki pou branch fanmi Izrayèl yo, li rive lavil Abèl-Bèt Maka. Tout moun fanmi Bikri yo te sanble dèyè l', yo swiv li nan lavil la.

And he passed in all [the] tribes of Israel Abel towards and Beth Maacah and all the Berites. (And they assembled *QK) and they went also after him.

15 Sòlda Joab yo vin rive devan Abèl-Bèt Maka. Yo sènen lavil la, yo anpile ranblè nan pye gwo miray deyò a pou yo te ka anvayi lavil la. Apre sa, yo pran fouye anba miray la pou fè l' tonbe.

And they came and they laid siege on him in Abel Beth Maacah and they poured out a mound against the city and it stood by the rampart and all the people which [was] with Joab [were] about to destroy to make fall the wall.

16 Te gen yon fanm nan lavil la ki te gen bon konprann. Li rete sou miray la, li di: -Ey! Ey! Tanpri, koute sa m'ap di nou! Al di Joab pou l' pwoche bò isit la. Mwen ta renmen fè yon ti pale avè l'.

And she called out a woman wise from the city listen listen say please to Joab draw near to here so let me speak to you.

17 Joab vin rive. Fanm lan mande l': -Se ou menm ki Joab la? Joab reponn: -Wi, se mwen menm. Fanm lan di l': -Se sèvis m'ap rann ou. Koute sa m'ap di ou. Joab reponn: -M'ap koute ou, wi.

And he drew near to her and she said the woman ¿ [are] you Joab and he said I [am] and she said to him listen to [the] words of maidservant your and he said [am] listening I.

18 Fanm lan di konsa: -Nan tan lontan yo te konn di: Depi ou bezwen konnen kichòy, desann lavil Abèl, al mande la. Se konsa moun te toujou regle zafè yo.

And she said saying surely they spoke at the former [time] saying certainly they will ask at Abel and thus they ceased.

19 Lavil nou se yonn nan lavil peyi Izrayèl yo kote ki pa gen dezòd. Lèfini, li pa janm vire do bay wa a. Poukisa w'ap chache detwi l'? Se kraze ou vle kraze sa ki pou Seyè a?

I [am] [the] peaceful [ones] of [the] faithful [ones] of Israel you [are] seeking to kill a city and a mother in Israel why? will you swallow up [the] inheritance of Yahweh.

20 Joab reponn li: -Sa ou kwè a se pa sa! Se pa t' nan lide m' ni pou m' te kraze, ni pou m' te detwi lavil nou an.

And he answered Joab and he said far be it far be it to me if I will swallow up and if I will destroy.

21 Se pa dèyè sa nou ye. Gen yon nonm yo rele Cheba, pitit gason Bikri a. Se moun mòn Efrayim li ye. Li pran lezam kont wa David. Si ou lage nonm sa a nan men m', m'ap vire do m' kite lavil la an repo. Fanm lan reponn li: -N'ap voye tèt li jete lòt bò miray la ba ou.

[is] not So the matter for a man from [the] hill country of Ephraim [who is] Sheba [the] son of Bicri name his he has lifted up hand his against the king against David give him to only him so let me go from on the city and she said the woman to Joab here! head his [is] about to be thrown to you behind the wall.

22 li al pale ak moun lavil yo, li di yo sa li gen lide fè. Yo koupe tèt Cheba, yo voye l' jete lòt bò miray la bay Joab. Joab fè kònen twonpèt la pou bay sòlda li yo siyal pou yo kite lavil la al fè wout yo lakay yo. Joab menm tounen lavil Jerizalèm al jwenn wa a.

And she went the woman to all the people with wisdom her and they cut off [the] head of Sheba [the] son of Bicri and they threw [it] to Joab and he gave a blast on the trumpet and they were scattered from on the city each to tents his and Joab he returned Jerusalem to the king.

23 Joab te kòmandan tout lame pèp Izrayèl la. Benaja, pitit Jeyojada, te kòmandan keretyen yo ak peletyen yo, gad pèsonèl wa a.

And Joab [was] to all the army of Israel and Benaiah [the] son of Jehoiada [was] over (the Kerethite[s] *QK) and over the Pelethite[s].

24 Adoram te reskonsab kòve yo. Jeozafa, pitit gason Aliyoud la, te reskonsab achiv wa a.

And Adoram [was] over the forced labor and Jehoshaphat [the] son of Ahilud [was] the recorder.

25 Cheva te sekretè gouvènman an. Zadòk ak Abyata te prèt.

(And Sheva *QK) [was] secretary and Zadok and Abiathar [were] priests.

26 Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Ira, moun lavil Jayi, ki te prèt wa David tou.

And also Ira the Jairite he was a priest of David.
