II Samuel 16

David te fèk fin kite tèt mòn lan lè li wè Ziba, domestik Mefibochèt la, k'ap vin kontre l'. Li t'ap mennen de bourik byen chaje avèk desan (200) pen, san (100) grap rezen chèch, san (100) pake fwi mi ak yon gwo veso fèt ak po bèt plen diven.

And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.

Wa David mande l': -Sa ou pral fè ak tout bagay sa yo? Ziba reponn li: -Bourik yo, se pou wa a ansanm ak fanmi li yo moute. Pen yo ak fwi yo, se pou moun ou yo manje, diven an pou yo bwè lè y'a santi yo bouke nan dezè a.

And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.

Wa a mande l': -Kote mèt ou, Mefibochèt, pitit pitit Sayil la? Ziba reponn: -Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, paske li di li sèten moun peyi Izrayèl yo pral renmèt li baton kòmandman ki te nan men Sayil, granpapa l' la.

And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.

Wa a di Ziba konsa: -Depi jòdi a, tou sa ki te pou Mefibochèt se pou ou yo ye. Ziba reponn li: -Men mwen lage kò m' nan pye ou, monwa. Mwen mande pou ou toujou kontan avè m'.

Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.

Lè wa David rive bò lavil Bakourim, yon moun fanmi wa Sayil soti lavil la vin kontre l'. Se te Chimeyi, pitit gason Gera a. Antan l'ap vanse sou David, li t'ap joure l', li t'ap ba li madichon.

And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.

Li konmanse voye wòch sou David ak sou moun pa l' yo, atout pèp la ak sòlda yo t'ap mache sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch wa a.

And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

Chimeyi t'ap bay David madichon, li t'ap di l': -Ale ou vouzan! Ale ou vouzan! Vakabon! Ansasen!

And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:

Ou te pran plas wa Sayil la! Jòdi a Seyè a ap pini ou pou tout moun nan fanmi Sayil ou te sasinen yo. Seyè a renmèt gouvènman an nan men Absalon, pitit gason ou lan. Se konsa pou ou te fini, se ansasen ou ye!

The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.

Abichayi, pitit gason Sewouya a, di wa a konsa: -Monwa, poukisa pou ou kite chen mouri sa a ap madichonnen ou konsa? Kite m' janbe lòt bò a al koupe tèt li!

Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.

Wa a di Abichayi ansanm ak Joab, frè li a: -Pa antre nan sa ki pa gade nou, tande. Si se Seyè a ki di l' pou l' ban m' madichon, ki moun ki gen dwa mande l' pouki l'ap fè sa?

And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?

Apre sa, David pale ak Abichayi ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo, li di yo: -Gade! Pwòp pitit gason mwen, san mwen, deyò pou l' touye m'. Ale wè pou moun sa a ki soti nan ras Benjamen yo! Kite l' ban m' madichon, si se Seyè a ki di l' ban m' madichon.

And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.

Nou pa janm konnen, Seyè a va wè nan ki mizè mwen ye. Lè sa a, l'a ban m' benediksyon nan plas madichon l'ap ban m' jòdi a.

It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.

Se konsa, David ale chemen l' avèk tout moun li yo. Chimeyi menm t'ap mache dèyè yo sou flan mòn lan, li t'ap ba yo madichon, li t'ap voye wòch ak pousyè tè sou yo.

And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.

Wa a ansanm ak tout pèp la te bouke jouk yo pa t' kapab ankò lè yo rive bò larivyè Jouden. Se la yo rete pran souf.

And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.

Absalon antre lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Achitofèl te ansanm ak yo.

And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

Lè Ouchayi, bon zanmi David la, kontre ak Absolon, li di: -Viv wa a! Viv wa a!

And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.

Absalon di l' konsa: -Se konsa ou te bon zanmi David la? Poukisa ou pa t' ale ansanm avè l'?

And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?

Ouchayi reponn li: -Ki jan pou m' ta fè sa? Se pou moun Seyè a ansanm ak moun sa yo ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo chwazi a mwen ye. Se avè l' pou m' rete.

And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.

Lèfini, ki moun pou m' ta sèvi si se pa pitit mèt mwen an? Menm jan mwen te sèvi papa ou, konsa m'a sèvi ou tou.

And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.

Apre sa, Absalon vire bò Achitofèl, li di l' konsa: -Ann antann nou sou sa nou pral fè koulye a.

Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.

Achitofèl reponn: -Al kouche ak lòt fanm kay papa ou yo, sa li kite dèyè pou okipe palè a. Lè sa a, tout moun nan peyi Izrayèl la va konnen bagay la gate nèt ant ou menm ak papa ou. Konsa, moun ki avè ou yo ap vin pi ankouraje.

And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.

Se konsa, yo moute yon tant pou Absalon sou teras sou do palè a. Epi la, devan tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo, Absalon kouche ak fanm kay papa l' yo.

So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

Lè sa a, nenpòt konsèy Achitofèl te bay se tankou si se te pawòl Bondye. Ni David ni Absalon te toujou swiv konsèy li yo.

And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
