1 Alò Hiram, wa Tyr a, te voye mesaje yo kote David avèk bwa sèd yo, mason ak chapant pou bati yon kay pou li.
Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
2 Epi David te vin rekonèt ke SENYÈ a te etabli li kon wa sou Israël, epi ke wayòm li te a egzalte byen wo pou koz pèp li a, Israël.
David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted, for his people Israel’s sake.
3 David te pran plis madanm Jérusalem, e David te vin papa a plis fis ak fi.
David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.
4 Sila yo se non a pitit ki ne a li menm Jérusalem yo: Schammau, Schobab, Nathan, Salomon,
These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 Jibhar, Élischua, Elphéleth,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 Noga, Népheg, Japhia,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 Élischama, Beéliada ak Éliphéleth.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Lè Filisten yo te tande ke David te onksyone wa sou tout Israël, tout Filisten yo te monte pou rankontre David. Lè David te tande sa li te sòti kont yo.
When the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went out against them.
9 Alò, Filisten yo te vini e te fè yon atak nan vale Rephaïm nan.
Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.
10 David te mande Bondye, epi te di: “Èske mwen dwe monte kont Filisten yo? Èske Ou va livre yo nan men m?” SENYÈ a te di li: “Monte, paske Mwen va livre yo nan men ou.”
David inquired of God, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand?” The LORD said to him, “Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.”
11 Konsa, yo te rive monte Baal-Peratsim, e David te bat yo la. David te di: “Bondye te kraze lènmi mwen yo pa men mwen kon dlo k ap pete.” Pou sa, yo te rele plas sa a Baal-Peratsim.
So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like waters breaking out. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
12 Yo te abandone dye pa yo la. David te bay lòd pou yo te brile yo avèk dife.
They left their gods there; and David gave a command, and they were burned with fire.
13 Filisten yo te fè yon lòt atak nan vale a.
The Philistines made another raid in the valley.
14 David te mande a Bondye ankò e Bondye te di li: “Ou pa pou monte kont yo. Ansèkle yo pa dèyè e vini sou yo devan pye balzam yo.
David inquired again of God; and God said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Turn away from them, and come on them opposite the mulberry trees.
15 Li va vin rive ke lè ou tande son mache a nan tèt pye balzam yo, alò, ou va sòti nan batay la; paske Bondye va gen tan sòti devan ou pou frape lame Filisten yo.”
When you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then go out to battle; for God has gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.”
16 David te fè menm sa ke Bondye te kòmande li. Yo te frape desann lame Filisten yo soti Gabaon jis rive menm nan Guézer.
David did as God commanded him; and they attacked the army of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
17 Rekonesans a David te sòti rive nan tout peyi yo, epi SENYÈ a te mennen lakrent li sou tout nasyon yo.
The fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all nations.
