1 Samuel 18
1 Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè li te fin pale avèk Saül, ke nanm Jonathan te vin atache a nanm David, e Jonathan te renmen li tankou pwòp tèt li.
2 And that day Saul took David and would not let him go back to his father's house.
Saül te pran li nèt nan jou sa a e pa t kite li retounen lakay papa l.
3 Then Jonathan and David made an agreement together, because of Jonathan's love for David.
Epi Jonathan te fè yon akò avèk David akoz li te renmen li tankou pwòp tèt li.
4 And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.
Jonathan te retire manto ki te sou li a e te bay David li, ansanm avèk pwotèj li, menm ak nepe li, banza li, avèk sentiwon li.
5 And David went wherever Saul sent him, and did wisely: and Saul put him at the head of his men of war, and this was pleasing to all the people as well as to Saul's servants.
Konsa, David te ale nan nenpòt kote Saül te voye li a, e te byen reyisi. Epi Saül te mete li chèf sou tout mesye lagè yo. Li te fè kè kontan nan zye a tout pèp la, e anplis, nan zye a sèvitè Saül yo.
6 Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.
Li te vin rive ke pandan yo t ap vini, lè David te retounen soti touye Filisten an, ke fanm yo te sòti nan tout vil an Israël yo. Yo t ap chante ak danse pou rankontre Wa Saül, avèk tanbouren, kè kontan ak enstriman mizik.
7 And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.
Fanm yo te chante pandan yo t ap jwe. Yo t ap di: “Saül te touye dè milye pa li menm e David dè di-milye pa li menm.”
8 And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?
Alò, Saül te vin byen fache, paske pawòl sa a te fè l pa kontan. Li te di: “Yo te bay David dè di-milye; men a mwen menm, yo te bay dè milye. Alò kisa anplis li kapab genyen, sof ke wayòm nan?”
9 And from that day Saul was looking with envy on David.
Depi nan jou sa a, Saül te veye David de prè.
10 Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand.
Nan jou aprè a, yon move lespri ki sòti nan Bondye te vini sou Saül avèk pwisans. Li te fè pwofesi nan mitan kay la. David, kòm abitid li jou an jou, t ap jwe ap la avèk men li. Saul te gen yon lans nan men l.
11 And Saul, balancing the spear in his hand, said, I will give David a blow, pinning him to the wall. And David got away from him twice.
Li te voye lans lan, paske li t ap di: “Mwen va kloure David sou mi an.” David te chape nan prezans li menm de fwa.
12 And Saul went in fear of David, because the Lord was with David and had gone away from Saul.
Alò Saül te pè David, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li; men Li te fin kite Saül.
13 So Saul sent him away, and made him a captain over a thousand; and he went about his business before the people.
Pou sa Saül te retire David devan prezans li. Li te apwente li kòm kòmandan a yon mil lòm. Konsa li te sòti e antre devan pèp la.
14 And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.
David t ap reyisi nan tout chemen li yo, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li.
15 And when Saul saw how wisely he did, he was in fear of him.
Lè Saül te wè ke li te byen reyisi konsa, li te vin gen gwo perèz li.
16 But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.
Men tout Israël avèk Juda te renmen li nèt e li te sòti e antre devan yo.
17 And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.
Alò, Saül te di a David: “Men pi gran fi mwen an, Mérab. Mwen va ba ou li kòm madanm. Sèlman, rete vanyan pou mwen e mennen batay pou SENYÈ a.” Paske Saül t ap di a tèt li: “Mwen p ap kapab leve men kont li, men kite men Filisten yo vin kont li.”
18 And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my father's family in Israel, that I am to be son-in-law to the king?
Men David te di a Saül: “Kilès mwen ye e kisa lavi mwen ye, oswa fanmi a papa m an Israël ye, pou mwen ta devni bofis a wa a?”
19 But when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given to Adriel of Meholath.
Konsa, li te vin rive ke nan moman a Mérab, fi a Saül la te dwe bay a David la, li te vin bay a Adriel, Meolayit la, kòm madanm.
20 And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.
Alò, Mical, pitit a Saül la, te renmen David. Lè yo te pale sa a Saül, bagay la te agreyab a li menm.
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.
Saül te di a li menm: “Mwen va ba li fi a pou li kab devni yon pyèj pou li e pou men Filisten yo kapab vin kont li.” Pou sa, Saül te pale David, “Pou yon dezyèm fwa, ou gen dwa devni bofis mwen jodi a.”
22 And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.
Alò, Saül te kòmande sèvitè li yo: “Pale avèk David an sekrè e di: ‘Gade byen, wa a trè kontan avèk ou e tout sèvitè li yo renmen ou anpil. Alò, pou sa a, vin bofis a wa a.’”
23 And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?
Konsa, sèvitè a Saül yo te pale pawòl sa yo a David. Men David te di: “Èske sa se yon ti bagay pou vin bofis a wa a, akoz mwen menm se yon nonm pòv e san pwa?”
24 And the servants of Saul gave him an account of what David had said.
Sèvitè a Saül yo te bay rapò a a li menm selon pawòl ke David te pale yo.
25 And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.
Alò, Saül te di: “Konsa ou va pale David: ‘Wa a pa bezwen okenn kòb kòm dwa maryaj, sof ke yon santèn prepuce yo ki sòti nan Filisten yo, pou egzekite vanjans sou lènmi a wa yo.’” Alò, Saül te fè plan pou fè David tonbe pa men a Filisten yo.
26 And when his servants said these words to David, he was well pleased to be the son-in-law of the king. And the days were still not past.
Lè sèvitè li yo te pale David pawòl sa yo, sa te fè David kontan pou vini bofis a wa a. Avan jou yo te fini,
27 So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.
David ak mesye pa li yo te ale. Yo te frape fè desann de-san lòm pami Filisten yo. Alò, David te mennen prepuce pa yo e yo te bay yo an tout a wa a, pou li ta kapab vin bofis a wa a. Konsa Saül te ba li Mical kòm madanm li.
28 And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.
Lè Saül te wè e te konnen ke SENYÈ a te avèk David, e ke Mical, fi a Saül la, te renmen li,
29 And Saul's fear of David became all the greater, and he went on hating him, day by day.
li te pè David menm plis. Konsa Saül te lènmi a David ale nèt.
30 Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.
Epi kòmandan Filisten yo te sòti pou fè batay. Konsa, li vin rive chak fwa yo sòti, ke David te aji avèk plis sajès ke tout sèvitè a Saül yo. Akoz sa, non li te vin respekte anpil.
