I Chronicles 19

Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

Apre sa, Nakach, wa lavil Amon, mouri. Se pitit gason li ki moute wa nan plas li.

And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

David di: -Se pou m' aji byen ak Anoun, pitit Nakach la, paske papa l' te boule byen avè m'. Se konsa, David voye mesaje al di Anoun jan sa te fè l' lapenn lè l' pran nouvèl lanmò papa l'. Mesaje David yo rive lakay Anoun nan peyi moun Amon yo pou konsole l'.

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

Men, chèf moun Amon yo di Anoun konsa: -Pa konprann se sèlman pou lanmò papa ou la kifè David voye mesaje sa yo bò kote ou pou konsole ou. Wete sa nan tèt ou. Li voye yo isit la pou yo wè jan lavil la ye, pou yo gade byen sa k'ap pase nan lavil la. Konsa, pita li ka vin pran lavil la nan men nou.

Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.

Sa Anoun fè lè sa a, li pran moun David te voye yo, li raze tout yon bò nan bab yo, li koupe anba rad yo ra dèyè yo, li voye yo tounen.

Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

Mesye yo te wont anpil pou yo te tounen lakay yo konsa. Lè David vin konn sa ki te rive yo, li voye di yo rete lavil Jeriko, y'a tounen lakay yo lè bab yo va pouse ankò.

And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria–maachah, and out of Zobah.

Wa Anoun ak moun Amon yo vin konprann yo te fè David fache. Yo pran mil pyès ajan, yo voye chache sòlda, cha lagè, ak kavalye kay moun Aram yo lavil Narayim, lavil Maka ak lavil Zoba pou vin goumen pou yo.

So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

Se konsa yo lwe sèvis tranndemil (32.000) cha lagè ki vin kanpe devan lavil Medeba ansanm ak wa lavil Maka a ak tout lame li a. Moun peyi Amon yo kite lavil yo, yo reyini ansanm pou pare pou batay la.

And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

David vin konnen sa. Li voye Joab ak tout lame vanyan sòlda li yo al kontre yo.

And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.

Moun Amon yo soti, y' al pran pozisyon devan pòtay lavil la. Wa ki te vin ede yo bò pa yo pran pozisyon nan plenn lan.

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

Joab te wè lame lènmi yo te ka atake l' ni sou devan, ni sou dèyè. Sa l' fè, li chwazi pi bon sòlda nan lame pèp Izrayèl la, li mete yo an pozisyon devan lame moun Aram yo.

And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

Lèfini, li mete Abichayi, frè l' la, alatèt rès lame a. Li fè yo pran pozisyon devan moun Amon yo.

And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.

Joab di Abichayi konsa: -Si nou wè moun Aram yo soti pou yo bat mwen, w'a vin ede m'. Konsa tou, si mwen wè moun Amon yo vle pi fò pase ou, m'a vin ede ou.

Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.

Mete gason sou nou. Kouraj! Nou pral goumen rèd mare pou pèp nou an ak pou lavil Bondye nou an. Bondye va fè sa li vle li menm.

So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.

Joab ak sòlda ki te avè l' yo mache sou moun Aram yo. Moun Aram yo kouri pou li.

And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

Lè moun peyi Amon yo wè moun Aram yo kouri ale, yo kouri tou pou Abichayi, frè Joab la, yo antre nan lavil la. Lè sa a, Joab tounen tounen l' lavil Jerizalèm.

And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

Lè moun Aram yo wè moun Izrayèl yo te bat yo, yo voye yon mesaj bay moun Aram ki te lòt bò larivyè Lefrat la, pou yo pare vin goumen pou yo. Yo reyini lavil Elam. Se Chofak, chèf lame Adadezè a, ki te alatèt yo.

And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

Lè David vin konn sa, li sanble tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden, li mache sou yo, li pran pozisyon devan yo. David ranje sòlda li yo pou li goumen ak moun Aram yo. Epi batay la konmanse.

But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

Moun Izrayèl yo fè moun Aram yo kouri met deyò. David ak sòlda li yo touye sòlda ki te sou sètmil (7.000) cha lagè ak karantmil (40.000) sòlda ki te apye. Yo touye Chofak, chèf lame lènmi an.

And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

Lè moun ki te avek Adadezè yo wè jan moun Izrayèl yo te bat yo, yo fè lapè ak David. Yo soumèt devan li. Se konsa, moun Aram yo pa t' vle vin pote moun Amon yo sekou ankò.
