II Samuel 20

And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.

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!

So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

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 David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.

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.

Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.

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'.

So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

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

And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.

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 there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

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.

When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.

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.

And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.

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

But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.

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 one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.

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 Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.

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.

When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

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

And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth–maachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.

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 they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth–maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.

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.

Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.

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 when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.

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.

Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.

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.

I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?

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?

And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

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.

The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

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.

Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

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.

Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:

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

And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:

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

And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:

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

And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.

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