1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeks my life?
Epi David te sove ale kite Najoth nan Rama, e li te vin di a Jonathan: “Kisa mwen te fè? Ki inikite mwen genyen? Epi ki peche mwen gen devan papa ou, pou li ap chache lavi m?”
2 And he said to him, Far from it. Thou shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me, and why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.
Li te di li: “Lwen de sa, ou p ap mouri. Gade byen, papa m p ap janm fè anyen ni gran ni piti amwenske li avèti m. Konsa pou ki rezon li ta kache bagay sa a de mwen? Se pa vrè!”
3 And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father knows well that I have found favor in thine eyes, and he says, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as Jehovah lives, and as thy soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
Men David te fè ve ankò, e li te di: “Papa ou konnen byen ke mwen te jwenn favè nan zye ou, e li te di: ‘Pa kite Jonathan konnen bagay sa a, oswa li va blese.’ Men anverite, jan SENYÈ a viv la e jan nanm ou viv la, gen sèlman yon pa antre mwen ak lanmò.”
4 Then Jonathan said to David, Whatever thy soul desires, I will even do it for thee.
Alò, Jonathan te di a David: “Nenpòt sa ou mande, m ap fè l pou ou.”
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
Konsa, David te di a Jonathan: “Veye byen, demen se nouvèl lin nan. Mwen ta dwe chita a tab pou manje avèk wa a. Men kite mwen ale pou m kache kò m nan chan an jis rive twa jou.
6 If thy father misses me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city, for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Si papa ou vin wè ke m pa la, alò li di: ‘David te mande mwen favè pou l ta kab kouri rive Bethléhem, vil pa li a, akoz se lè sakrifis ane a pou tout fanmi an.’
7 If he says thus, It is well. Thy servant shall have peace. But if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
Si li di: ‘Sa bon,’ sèvitè ou a va sove; men si li vin byen fache, konnen ke li te pran desizyon pou l fè mal la.
8 Therefore deal kindly with thy servant, for thou have brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee. But if there be in me iniquity, kill me thyself, for why should thou bring me to thy father?
Pou sa, aji avèk bon kè avèk sèvitè ou a; paske ou te mennen sèvitè ou antre nan yon akò a SENYÈ a avèk ou. Men si gen inikite nan mwen, mete m a lanmò ou menm; paske poukisa, si se konsa, ou ta dwe mennen mwen kote papa ou?”
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee, for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would I not tell it to thee?
Jonathan te di: “Sa se lwen de sa! Paske si mwen ta konprann ke papa m te detèmine pou fè ou mal; alò, èske mwen pa t ap di ou sa?”
10 Then David said to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answers thee roughly?
Alò, David te di a Jonathan: “Se kilès ki va di mwen si papa ou bay yon repons ki di?”
11 And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Jonathan te di a David: “Vini, annou ale nan chan an.” Konsa, toude te sòti nan chan an.
12 And Jonathan said to David, Jehovah, the God of Israel-when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send to thee, and disclose it to thee?
Alò, Jonathan te di a David: “SENYÈ Bondye Israël la se temwen! Lè m fin sonde papa m vè lè sa a demen, oswa nan twazyèm jou a, gade byen, si gen bon repons anvè ou menm, èske mwen p ap voye yon mo ba ou pou fè ou konnen sa?
13 Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I not disclose it to thee, and send thee away that thou may go in peace. And Jehovah be with thee as he has been with my father.
Si se volonte a papa m pou fè ou mal, kite SENYÈ a fè menm jan an ak Jonathan e menm plis toujou, si mwen pa fè ou konnen e voye ou ale, pou ou kab sòti ansekirite. Epi ke Bondye kapab avèk ou menm jan ke li te ye avèk papa m nan.
14 And thou shall not only show me the loving kindness of Jehovah, while I yet live, that I not die,
Si mwen toujou vivan, èske ou p ap montre mwen tout lanmou a SENYÈ a pou m pa mouri?
15 but also thou shall not cut off thy kindness from my house forever. No, not when Jehovah has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
Ou p ap retire lanmou ou vè lakay mwen pou tout tan, pa menm lè SENYÈ a vin koupe dènye lènmi David la sou fas tè a.”
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David's enemies.
Konsa tou Jonathan te fè yon akò avèk lakay David: “Ke SENYÈ a toujou mande menm devwa sa a nan men a lènmi David yo.”
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him. For he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Jonathan te fè David fè ve a ankò akoz ke li te renmen li e akoz li te renmen li tankou li te renmen pwòp vi pa li.
18 Then Jonathan said to him, Tomorrow is the new moon, and thou will be missed because thy seat will be empty.
Alò, Jonathan te di li: “Demen se nouvèl lin nan e absans ou ap byen klè akoz chèz ou a va vid
19 And when thou have stayed three days, thou shall go down quickly, and come to the place where thou hid thyself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
Lè ou fin rete pandan twa jou, ou va desann vit vini nan plas kote ou te kache nan jou evenman sa yo; epi ou va rete akote wòch Ézel la.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
Mwen va tire twa flèch akote, kòmsi se yon pratik m ap fè.
21 And, behold, I will send the lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them, and come, for there is peace to thee and no hurt, as Jehovah lives.
Epi tande byen, mwen va voye yon ti gason e di l: ‘Ale dèyè flèch yo.’ Si mwen pale byen klè a ti gason an, e di l: ‘Gade byen, flèch yo bò sa a de ou menm, ale chache yo;’ alò, ou va vini, paske gen sekirite pou ou e nanpwen mal, jan SENYÈ a viv la.
22 But if I say thus to the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee, go thy way, for Jehovah has sent thee away.
Men si mwen di ti gason an: ‘Gade byen, flèch yo lwen ou,’ alò ale, paske SENYÈ a te voye ou ale.
23 And concerning the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between thee and me forever.
Epi pou afè akò ke ou menm avèk mwen fin pale a, gade byen, SENYÈ a antre ou menm avèk mwen menm pou tout tan.”
24 So David hid himself in the field. And when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
Konsa, David te kache nan chan an. Epi lè nouvèl lin nan vin leve, wa a te chita sou tab la pou manje.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the seat by the wall, and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.
Wa a te chita nan plas li kòm nòmal, chèz akote mi an. Alò, Jonathan te leve e Abner te chita akote Saül, men plas David la te vid.
26 Nevertheless Saul spoke nothing that day, for he thought, Something has befallen him. He is not clean. Surely he is not clean.
Malgre Saül pa t di anyen nan jou sa a, paske li te di a li menm: “Se yon malè ki rive e li vin pa pwòp. Asireman, li pa pwòp.”
27 And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, which was the second day, that David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has the son of Jesse not come in to the food, neither yesterday, nor today?
Li te vin rive nan pwochen jou a, dezyèm jou nouvèl lin nan, ke plas David la te vid. Konsa, Saül te di a Jonathan, fis li a: “Poukisa fis a Jesse pa parèt nan repa a, ni yè, ni jodi a?”
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem.
Alò, Jonathan te reponn Saül: “David te swayezman mande pèmisyon a mwen menm pou ale Bethléhem,
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother, he has commanded me. And now, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brothers. Therefore he has not come to the king's table.
paske li te di: ‘Souple kite m ale, akoz fanmi nou gen yon sakrifis nan vil la e frè m yo te mande m parèt. Epi koulye a, si m jwenn favè nan zye ou, souple, kite m fè yon sòti pou m kapab wè frè m yo.’ Pou rezon sa a, li pa t vin parèt sou tab a Wa a.”
30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Thou son of a perverse rebellious woman, do I not know that thou have chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
Alò, kòlè a Saül te brile kont Jonathan e li te di a li: “Se fis a yon fanm pèvès e rebèl ke ou ye! Èske mwen pa konprann ke w ap chwazi fis a Jesse jis pou wont pa ou e jis rive nan wont a nidite manman ou.
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the ground, thou shall not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die.
Paske depi fis Jesse a rete sou latè, ni ou menm ni wayòm ou a p ap etabli. Alò, pou sa, voye mennen li kote mwen, paske fòk li mouri.”
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why should he be put to death? What has he done?
Men Jonathan te reponn Saül, papa li: “Poukisa li dwe mouri? Kisa li te fè?”
33 And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him. By this Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death.
Alò, Saül te voye frenn nan sou Jonathan pou frape fè l tonbe. Epi konsa, Jonathan te konnen ke papa li te pran desizyon pou mete David a lanmò.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David because his father had done him shame.
Epi Jonathan te leve sou tab la byen anraje e li pa t manje nan dezyèm jou nouvèl lin nan, paske kè l te fè l mal akoz papa li te derespekte l konsa.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
Alò, li te vin rive nan maten ke Jonathan te parèt nan chan an pou randevou avèk David la, e yon ti gason te avè l.
36 And he said to his lad, Run, now find the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
Li te di a jennonm nan: “Kouri koulye a pou ale chache flèch ke m prèt pou tire yo.” Pandan jennonm nan t ap kouri, li te tire yon flèch ki te depase li.
37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
Lè jennonm nan te rive nan plas flèch ke Jonathan te tire a, Jonathan te rele jennonm nan e te di: “Èske flèch la pa pi lwen ou?”
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Jonathan te rele jennonm nan: “Pa mize, fè vit, pa fè reta!” Epi jennonm Jonathan an te pran flèch la e te retounen vè mèt li.
39 But the lad knew nothing. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Men jennonm nan pa t konnen anyen. Sèlman Jonathan avèk David te konprann koze a.
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
Alò, Jonathan te bay zam li yo a jennonm nan e te di li: “Ale pote antre nan vil la.”
41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the South, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. And they kissed each other, and wept one with another until David surpassed him.
Lè jennonm nan te fin ale, David te leve soti nan fas sid la. Li te tonbe sou figi li atè e li te bese ba twa fwa. Epi yo te bo youn lòt e te kriye ansanm, men David te kriye plis.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, inasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed, forever. And he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
Jonathan te di a David: “Ale anpè. Jan nou te sèmante youn ak lòt nan non SENYÈ a, e te di: ‘SENYÈ a va antre ou avèk mwen, antre desandan pa w ak desandan pa m jis pou tout tan.’” Epi li te leve sòti pandan Jonathan t ap antre nan vil la.
