| 1 | 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. | Quand David eut un peu dépassé le sommet, voici, Tsiba, serviteur de Méphibosheth, vint au-devant de lui avec deux ânes bâtés, sur lesquels étaient deux cents pains, et cent paquets de raisins secs, et cent de fruits d'été, et une outre de vin. | And when David was a little past the top [of the ascent], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine. |
| 2 | 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. | Et le roi dit à Tsiba: Que veux-tu faire de cela? Et Tsiba répondit: Les ânes serviront de montures pour la maison du roi, et le pain et les fruits d'été sont pour la nourriture des jeunes gens, et il y a du vin à boire pour ceux qui seront fatigués dans le désert. | And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are 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 are faint in the wilderness may drink. |
| 3 | 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. | Et le roi dit: Mais où est le fils de ton maître? Et Tsiba répondit au roi: Voilà, il est demeuré à Jérusalem; car il a dit: Aujourd'hui la maison d'Israël me rendra le royaume de mon père. | 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 will the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. |
| 4 | 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. | Alors le roi dit à Tsiba: Voici, tout ce qui est à Méphibosheth, est à toi. Et Tsiba dit: Je me prosterne! Que je trouve grâce à tes yeux, ô roi, mon seigneur! | Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I do obeisance; let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, O king. |
| 5 | 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. | Puis le roi David vint jusqu'à Bachurim; et voici, il en sortit un homme, de la famille de la maison de Saül, nommé Shimeï, fils de Guéra. Il s'avança en maudissant, | And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and cursed still as he came. |
| 6 | 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. | Et il jeta des pierres contre David et contre tous les serviteurs du roi David, et contre tout le peuple, et tous les hommes vaillants, à sa droite et à sa gauche. | 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. |
| 7 | And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial: | Et Shimeï parlait ainsi en le maudissant: Sors, sors, homme de sang, méchant homme! | And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow: |
| 8 | 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. | L'Éternel fait retomber sur toi tout le sang de la maison de Saül, à la place de qui tu régnais; et l'Éternel a mis le royaume entre les mains de ton fils Absalom, et te voilà dans ton propre malheur, parce que tu es un homme de sang! | Jehovah hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and, behold, thou art [taken] in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood. |
| 9 | 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. | Alors Abishaï, fils de Tséruja, dit au roi: Pourquoi ce chien mort maudirait-il le roi, mon seigneur? Permets que je m'avance, et que je lui ôte la tête! | 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. |
| 10 | 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? | Mais le roi répondit: Qu'ai-je à faire avec vous, fils de Tséruja? Qu'il maudisse; car l'Éternel lui a dit: Maudis David; qui donc lui dira: Pourquoi fais-tu ainsi? | And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Because he curseth, and because Jehovah hath said unto him, Curse David; who then shall say, Wherefore hast thou done so? |
| 11 | 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. | Et David dit à Abishaï et à tous ses serviteurs: Voici, mon propre fils, qui est sorti de mes entrailles, cherche ma vie. Combien plus maintenant ce Benjamite! Laissez-le, et qu'il maudisse, car l'Éternel le lui a dit. | And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more [may] this Benjamite now [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse; for Jehovah hath bidden him. |
| 12 | It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day. | Peut-être que l'Éternel regardera mon affliction, et que l'Éternel me rendra du bien au lieu des malédictions de ce jour. | It may be that Jehovah will look on the wrong done unto me, and that Jehovah will requite me good for [his] cursing of me this day. |
| 13 | 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. | David et ses gens continuaient donc leur chemin; et Shimeï marchait sur le flanc de la montagne, vis-à-vis de lui; et en marchant il maudissait, et il jetait des pierres contre lui, et soulevait la poussière. | So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill-side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. |
| 14 | And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there. | Ainsi le roi David et tout le peuple qui était avec lui, arrivèrent fatigués, et là ils reprirent haleine. | And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there. |
| 15 | And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. | Cependant Absalom et tout le peuple, les hommes d'Israël, entrèrent dans Jérusalem, et Achithophel était avec lui. | And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him. |
| 16 | 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. | Et lorsque Cushaï, l'Arkite, l'ami de David, fut venu vers Absalom, Cushaï dit à Absalom: Vive le roi! Vive le roi! | And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David`s friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, [Long] live the king, [Long] live the king. |
| 17 | And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend? | Et Absalom dit à Cushaï: Est-ce donc là l'affection que tu as pour ton ami? Pourquoi n'es-tu point allé avec ton ami? | And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend? |
| 18 | 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. | Mais Cushaï répondit à Absalom: Non, mais je serai à celui qui a été choisi par l'Éternel, par ce peuple et par tous les hommes d'Israël; et je demeurerai avec lui. | And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom Jehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide. |
| 19 | 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. | Et d'ailleurs, qui servirai-je? Ne sera-ce pas son fils? Je serai ton serviteur, comme j'ai été le serviteur de ton père. | 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. |
| 20 | Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do. | Alors Absalom dit à Achithophel: Prenez conseil entre vous sur ce que nous avons à faire. | Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give your counsel what we shall do. |
| 21 | 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. | Et Achithophel dit à Absalom: Va vers les concubines de ton père, qu'il a laissées pour garder la maison; et quand tout Israël saura que tu t'es rendu odieux à ton père, les mains de ceux qui sont avec toi, seront fortifiées: | And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father`s concubines, that he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then will the hands of all that are with thee be strong. |
| 22 | 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. | On dressa donc un pavillon pour Absalom sur la plate-forme; et Absalom entra vers les concubines de son père, à la vue de tout Israël. | 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. |
| 23 | 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. | Or, en ce temps-là, un conseil donné par Achithophel était autant estimé, que si l'on eût consulté Dieu. Telle était la valeur des conseils d'Achithophel, soit pour David, soit pour Absalom. | And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom. |
