David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Soti nan Béthach avèk Bérothaï, vil a Hadadézer yo, Wa David te pran yon gran kantite bwonz.
From Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took a great quantity of bronze.
9 Alò lè Thoï, wa a Hamath la te tande ke David te bat tout lame a Hadadézer a.
When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,
10 Konsa, Thoï te voye Joram, fis li a kote Wa David pou salye li e fè li felisitasyon akoz li te goumen kont Hadadézer e te bat li. Paske Hadadézer t ap fè lagè avèk Thoï. Epi Joram te mennen avèk li bagay fèt an ajan, an lò, e an bwonz.
then Toi sent Joram his son to King David to greet him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him; for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. Joram brought with him vessels of silver, vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
11 Wa David te dedye sa yo osi a SENYÈ a, avèk ajan ak lò ke li te dedye soti nan tout nasyon ke Li te soumèt anba li menm yo:
King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued—
12 Soti nan Syrie avèk Moab, fis a Ammon yo, Filisten yo avèk Amalekit yo, ak piyaj ki te soti osi nan Hadadézer, fis a Thoï a, wa a Tsoba a.
of Syria, of Moab, of the children of Ammon, of the Philistines, of Amalek, and of the plunder of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 Konsa, David te vin fè yon non byen koni pou kont li, lè li te retounen soti nan touye dizui-mil Siryen nan Vale Sèl la.
David earned a reputation when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt.
14 Li te etabli anplasman militè yo nan Édom. Nan tout Édom, li te fè anplasman militè e tout Edomit yo te devni sèvitè a David. Konsa, SENYÈ a te ede David tout kote li te ale.
He put garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom, he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.
15 David te renye sou tout Israël. Li te administre lajistis avèk ladwati pou tout pèp li a.
