1 Samuel 30
1 When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,
De jou apre, David rive lavil Ziklag ansanm ak mesye l' yo. Moun Amalèk yo te gen tan anvayi tout zòn Negèv nan peyi Jida. Yo te atake lavil Ziklag tou, yo te boule lavil la nèt.
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off and went their way.
Lèfini, yo te pran tout fanm yo ak tout rès moun ki te la yo, timoun kou granmoun, yo te pati ak yo. Yo pa t' touye pesonn, men yo te pran tout moun, yo pati ak yo al fè wout yo.
3 When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
Lè David rive ak mesye l' yo, yo jwenn lavil la te boule nèt epi madanm yo, pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo pa t' la. Moun yo te pati ak yo tout.
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.
David ak mesye l' yo pran rele, yo kriye jouk yo pa kapab ankò.
5 David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Moun yo te pati ak de madanm David yo tou, Akinoam, moun lavil Jizreyèl ak Abigayèl, madan defen Nabal, moun lavil Kamèl.
6 David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
David te nan gwo tèt chaje paske mesye l' yo te fache anpil deske yo te pèdi pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo, yo te fè lide touye David ak kout wòch. Men, Seyè a, Bondye li a, te ba l' kont kouraj.
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
David rele Abyata, prèt la, pitit gason Akimelèk la, li di l' konsa: -Pote jile Bondye a isit ban mwen! Abyata pote jile Bondye a bay David.
8 David inquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
David pale ak Seyè a, li di li: -Eske se pou m' ale dèyè bann moun sa yo? Eske m'a rapouswiv yo? Seyè a di li: -Ou mèt ale dèyè yo. W'a rapouswiv yo, epi w'a sove moun yo fè prizonye yo.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Se konsa David pati avèk sisan (600) mesye ki te avè l' yo. Lè yo rive nan ravin Bezò a, gen kèk nan mesye yo ki rete la.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
David menm kontinye sou wout li avèk katsan (400) moun. Lòt desan (200) yo te rete paske yo te bouke anpil, yo pa t' gen fòs pou yo te travèse dlo Bezò a.
11 They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
Mesye ki t' ale avèk David yo jwenn yon moun peyi Lejip nan zòn lan. Yo mennen l' bay David. Yo ba li manje, yo ba li bwè.
12 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
Yo ba li yon moso gato figfrans ak de grap rezen chèch. Lè li fin manje, li reprann fòs, paske depi twa jou twa nwit li pa t' manje anyen, ni li pa t' janm bwè dlo.
13 David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.
David mande l': -Ki moun ki mèt ou? Moun ki bò ou ye? Li reponn: -Mwen se moun peyi Lejip, esklav yonn nan moun Amalèk yo. Jòdi a fè twa jou depi mèt mwen kite m' dèyè, paske mwen te malad.
14 We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
Nou te anvayi zòn Negèv kote keretyen yo rete a. Apre sa, nou pase nan zòn Negèv ki nan peyi Jida a, ak zòn Negèv ki nan peyi Kalèb la. Lèfini, nou mete dife nan lavil Ziklag.
15 David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
David mande l': -Eske ou ka mennen nou kote bann moun sa yo ye a? Li reponn li: -Si ou pran Bondye pou temwen pou ou pwomèt mwen ou p'ap touye m', ni ou p'ap lage m' nan men mèt mwen an, m'ap mennen ou kote yo ye a.
16 When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Li mennen David kote moun Amalèk yo ye a. Moun Amalèk yo te gaye toupatou. Sa ki t'ap manje t'ap manje, sa ki t'ap bwè t'ap bwè. Yo t'ap fè fèt paske yo te piye anpil bagay kay moun Filisti yo ak kay moun peyi Jida yo.
17 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
Nan denmen, granmaten David atake yo, li goumen ak yo jouk nan aswè. Pesonn pa t' chape, an wetan katsan (400) jenn gason ki moute kèk chamo epi ki gen tan kouri ale.
18 David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
David sove dènye sa moun Amalèk yo te pran nan piyay yo a. Li sove de madanm li yo tou.
19 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
David mennen tout pitit fi ak tout pitit gason mesye l' yo tounen ansanm ak tout bagay moun Amalèk yo te pran nan piyay yo a. Pa t' manke anyen.
20 David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
Lèfini, li pran tout bann mouton ak bèf yo tou. Mesye yo t'ap pouse bèt yo devan, yo t'ap di: -Men, tou sa David pran pou li nan batay la.
21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.
David t'ap tounen, li rive bò desan (200) mesye li te kite bò ravin Bezò a paske yo te twò fèb pou ale avè l'. Yo mache vin kontre David ansanm ak lòt mesye l' yo. David mache al jwenn yo, li di yo bèl bonjou.
22 Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
Men, pami mesye ki t' ale avèk David yo, te gen kèk malveyan ak vòryen ki t'ap di: -Mesye sa yo pa t' ale avèk nou. Nou p'ap ba yo anyen nan sa nou pran an. N'ap annik renmèt yo madanm yo ak pitit yo pou y' al fè wout yo.
23 Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Men David di yo konsa: -Frè m' yo, nou pa ka fè sa ak sa Seyè a ban nou! Li pa kite anyen rive nou, li lage bann moun ki te vin piye nou yo nan men nou.
24 Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”
Pesonn pa ka dakò ak sa n'ap di la a. Nou pral separe bay chak moun sa ki pou yo: sa ki te rete dèyè nan kan an ap resevwa menm kantite ak sa ki te desann al goumen.
25 It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Se konsa depi jou sa a, David fè prensip sa a tounen yon lwa. Jouk jòdi a y'ap swiv menm prensip sa a toujou nan peyi Izrayèl.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
Lè David tounen Ziklag, li pran nan bagay li te sezi nan men lènmi yo, li voye bay zanmi l' yo ki te chèf nan peyi Jida a, li di yo konsa: -Men kado mwen voye pou nou nan sa nou pran nan men lènmi Seyè yo.
27 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
Li voye bay moun lavil Betèl, bay moun lavil Rama nan zòn Negèv la, bay moun lavil Yati,
28 to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
bay moun lavil Awoyè, bay moun lavil Sifmòt ak moun lavil Echtemoa,
29 to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
bay moun lavil Rakal ak moun ki rete nan lavil branch fanmi Jerakmeyèl yo ak nan lavil moun Kayen yo,
30 to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
bay moun lavil Oma, moun lavil Borachan ak moun lavil Atak,
31 to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
bay moun lavil Ebwon, bay moun ki toupatou kote David ak mesye l' yo te pase.
