1 Samuel 18
1 And it happened that, when he had completed speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan adhered to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him like his own soul.
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 Saul took him that day, and would not permit him to return 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 David and Jonathan formed a pact. For he loved him like his own soul.
Epi Jonathan te fè yon akò avèk David akoz li te renmen li tankou pwòp tèt li.
4 And Jonathan took off the coat that he was wearing, and he gave it to David, with the rest of his garments, even to his sword and bow, and even his belt.
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 Also, David went out to do everything whatsoever that Saul sent him to do, and he conducted himself prudently. And Saul set him over men of war. And he was acceptable in the eyes of the entire people, and most of all in the sight of the servants of Saul.
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 when David returned, after he had struck down the Philistine, the women went out, from all the cities of Israel, leading the singing and dancing, rejoicing with timbrels and bells, so as to meet king Saul.
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 sang, as they played, saying, “Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand.”
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 Then Saul became exceedingly angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes. And he said: “They have given David ten thousand, and to me they gave only one thousand. What is left for him, except the kingdom itself?”
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 Therefore, Saul did not regard David with a good eye, from that day and thereafter.
Depi nan jou sa a, Saül te veye David de prè.
10 Then, on the next day, the evil spirit from God assailed Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand, just as at every other time. And Saul held a lance 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 he threw it, thinking that he would be able to fix David to the wall. And David stepped aside twice, from before his face.
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 feared David, because the Lord was with him, but he had withdrawn from Saul.
Alò Saül te pè David, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li; men Li te fin kite Saül.
13 Therefore, Saul sent him away from himself, and he made him tribune over one thousand men. And he entered and departed in the sight of 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 Also, David acted prudently in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
David t ap reyisi nan tout chemen li yo, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li.
15 And so, Saul saw that he was exceedingly prudent, and he began to be wary of him.
Lè Saül te wè ke li te byen reyisi konsa, li te vin gen gwo perèz li.
16 But all of Israel and Judah loved David. For he entered and departed 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: “Behold, my elder daughter, Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be a valiant man, and fight the wars of the Lord.” Now Saul was considering within himself, saying, “Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.”
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 Then David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, and what is my father’s kinship within Israel, that I should be the son-in-law of 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 Then it happened that, at the time when Merab, the daughter of Saul, was to be given to David, she was given to Adriel, the Meholathite, as wife.
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 Now Michal, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And this was reported to Saul, and it pleased him.
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 stumbling block to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him.” And Saul said to David, “In two things, you shall be my son-in-law today.”
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 commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: “Behold, you are pleasing to the king, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, be the son-in-law of the king.”
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 the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: “Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.”
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 reported to Saul, saying, “David has spoken words in this manner.”
Sèvitè a Saül yo te bay rapò a a li menm selon pawòl ke David te pale yo.
25 Then Saul said, “Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.” So did Saul think to deliver David into 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 had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king.
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 And after a few days, David, rising up, went with the men who were under him, and he struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. And he brought their foreskins, and he counted them out for the king, so that he might be his son-in-law. And so, Saul gave to him his daughter Michal as 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 Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
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 began to fear David all the more. And Saul became the enemy of David, every day.
li te pè David menm plis. Konsa Saül te lènmi a David ale nèt.
30 And the leaders of the Philistines departed. And from the beginning of their departure, David conducted himself more prudently than all the servants of Saul, and his name became exceedingly celebrated.
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.
