2 Samuel 1
1 Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Saül te fin mouri, e David te retounen soti nan masak a Amalekit yo, ke David te rete pandan de jou nan Tsiklag.
2 On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.
Nan twazyèm jou a, vwala, yon mesye te sòti nan kan an kote Saül la. Rad li te chire epi te gen pousyè sou tèt li. Lè li te parèt a David, li te tonbe atè; li te kouche plat nèt pou fè respè.
3 And David said to him, Where have you come from? And he said, I have come in flight from the tents of Israel.
Alò, David te di li: “Depi ki kote ou sòti?” Li te reponn: “Mwen te chape soti nan kan Israël la.”
4 And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.
David te di li: “Se kijan bagay yo te sòti? Souple, fè m konnen.” Konsa, li te di: “Moun yo gen tan sove ale kite batay la, e anplis, anpil nan moun yo tonbe mouri. Epi Saül avèk Jonathan, fis li a te mouri tou.”
5 And David said to the young man who gave him the news, Why are you certain that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?
Konsa, David te di a jennonm nan ki te pale li a: “Kijan ou fè konnen ke Saül avèk fis li, Jonathan mouri?”
6 And the young man said, I came by chance to Mount Gilboa, and I saw Saul supporting himself on his spear; and the war-carriages and horsemen overtook him.
Jennonm ki te pale li a te di: “Pa aza mwen te sou Mòn Guilboa, e gade byen, Saül t ap apiye sou frenn li an. Epi gade, cha yo avèk chevalye yo t ap kouri rèd sou li.
7 And looking back, he saw me and gave a cry to me. And answering him I said, Here am I.
Lè l te gade dèyè li, li te wè m e te rele mwen. Epi mwen te di: ‘Men mwen’.
8 And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.
Li te di mwen: ‘Se ki moun ou ye?’ Epi mwen te reponn li: ‘Mwen se yon Amalekit’.
9 Then he said to me, Come here to my side, and put me to death, for the pain of death has me in its grip but my life is still strong in me.
Alò li te di mwen: ‘Souple, kanpe akote mwen pou touye mwen; paske gwo doulè gen tan sezi mwen akoz lavi m toujou rete nan mwen.’
10 So I put my foot on him and gave him his death-blow, because I was certain that he would not go on living after his fall: and I took the crown from his head and the band from his arm, and I have them here for my lord.
Konsa, mwen te kanpe akote li pou te touye li; paske mwen te konnen ke li pa t kab viv lè l te fin tonbe a. Epi mwen te pran kouwòn ki te sou tèt li a, ak braslè ki te nan bra li a, e mwen te mennen yo isit la kote mèt mwen.”
11 Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:
Alò, David te sezi rad li, te chire yo, menm jan tout mesye ki te avè l yo te fè.
12 And till evening they gave themselves to sorrow and weeping, and took no food, weeping for Saul and for Jonathan, his son, and for the people of the Lord and for the men of Israel; because they had come to their end by the sword.
Yo te fè dèy e te kriye fè jèn pou Saül avèk fis li a, Jonathan, pou pèp SENYÈ a e pou lakay Israël jis rive nan aswè, akoz yo te tonbe pa nepe.
13 And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.
David te di a jennonm ki te pale li a: “Se kibò ou sòti?” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen se fis a yon etranje, yon Amalekit.”
14 And David said to him, Had you no fear of stretching out your hand to put to death the one marked with the holy oil?
Alò, David te di li: “Kijan sa ye ke ou pa t pè lonje men ou pou detwi onksyone a SENYÈ a?”
15 And David sent for one of his young men and said, Go near and put an end to him. And he put him to death.
Epi David te rele youn nan jennonm yo e te di: “Ale, koupe l fè l desann.” Konsa, li te frape li e li te mouri.
16 And David said to him, May your blood be on your head; for your mouth has given witness against you, saying, I have put to death the man marked with the holy oil.
David te di li: “San ou sou pwòp tèt pa w; paske bouch ou te fè temwayaj kont ou menm e te di: ‘Mwen te touye onksyone a SENYÈ a.’”
17 Then David made this song of grief for Saul and Jonathan, his son:
Alò, David te chante lamantasyon sila sou Saül avèk fis li a, Jonathan.
18 (It is recorded in the book of Jashar for teaching to the sons of Judah) and he said:
Epi li te di yo pou montre fis a Juda yo chan ki rele Banza a. Gade byen, li ekri nan liv a Jaschar a.
19 The glory, O Israel, is dead on your high places! How have the great ones been made low!
“Bèlte ou, O Israël, detwi sou wo plas ou yo! O kijan glwa ou yo te tonbe sou wo plas yo!
20 Give no news of it in Gath, let it not be said in the streets of Ashkelon; or the daughters of the Philistines will be glad, the daughters of men without circumcision will be uplifted in joy.
Pa pale sa nan Gath, ni pwoklame sa nan lari Askalon yo, sof fi Filisten yo ta rejwi; fi a ensikonsi yo ta egzalte,
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, you fields of death: for there the arms of the strong have been shamed, the arms of Saul, as if he had not been marked with the holy oil.
O mòn a Guilboa yo, pa kite lawouze ni lapli vin tonbe sou nou, ni sou chanm ofrann yo; paske pwisan yo te tonbe, paske la, boukliye pwisan an te vin sal. Boukliye Saül te pedi lwil onksyon an.
22 From the blood of the dead, from the fat of the strong, the bow of Jonathan was not turned back, the sword of Saul did not come back unused.
Soti nan san a sila ki te mouri yo, soti nan grès a pwisan yo, banza a Jonathan an pa t fè bak, ni nepe a Saül la pa t retounen vid.
23 Saul and Jonathan were loved and pleasing; in their lives and in their death they were not parted; they went more quickly than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Saül avèk Jonathan, byen emab e byeneme pandan vi pa yo, epi nan mò yo, yo pa t vin separe. Yo te pi rapid ke èg yo. Yo te pi pwisan pase lyon yo.
24 O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.
O fi Israël yo, kriye pou Saül, ki te fè nou abiye byen bèl ak twal wouj, ki te mete òneman an lò sou vètman nou.
25 How have the great ones been made low in the fight! Jonathan is dead on your high places.
Kijan pwisan yo vin tonbe nan mitan batay la! Jonathan vin touye sou wo plas nou yo.
26 I am full of grief for you, my brother Jonathan: very dear have you been to me: your love for me was a wonder, greater than the love of women.
Mwen twouble pou ou, frè m Jonathan. Ou te konn fè m byen kontan. Lanmou ou te yon bèl bagay. Lanmou ou te pi presye ke lanmou a yon fanm.
27 How have the great ones been made low, and the arms of war broken!
Kijan pwisan yo te tonbe e zam lagè yo te vin peri!”
