< 1 Samuel 19 >
1 Now Saul spoke to his son Jonathan, and to all his servants, so that they would kill David. But Jonathan, the son of Saul, loved David very much.
Alò, Saül te pale Jonathan, fis li a ak tout sèvitè li yo pou mete David a lanmò. Men Jonathan fis a Saül la te fè kè kontan anpil akoz David.
2 And Jonathan revealed it to David, saying: “Saul, my father, is seeking to kill you. Because of this, I ask you, take care for yourself in the morning. And you should conceal yourself and remain in hiding.
Pou sa, Jonathan te pale David. Li te di: “Papa m vle mete ou a lanmò. Pou sa, souple, veye anpil nan maten an. Ale nan kote kache a, e rete la.
3 Then I, going out, will be standing beside my father in the field, where you will be. And I will speak about you to my father. And whatever I see, I will report to you.”
Mwen va sòti e kanpe akote papa m nan chan kote ou ye a. Mwen va pale avèk papa m selon ou menm. Epi si mwen vin konprann yon bagay, alò, mwen va di ou.”
4 Then Jonathan spoke good things about David to his father Saul. And he said to him: “You should not sin, O king, against your servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his works toward you are very good.
Konsa, Jonathan te pale ak Saül, papa li, kèk bon pawòl sou David. Li te di li: “Pa kite wa a peche kont sèvitè li, David. Paske li menm pa t peche kont ou; akoz zèv pa li yo, li te ede ou anpil.
5 And he took his life in his own hand, and struck down the Philistine. And the Lord wrought a great salvation for all of Israel. You saw it, and you rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood by killing David, who is without guilt?”
Paske li te pran vi li nan men l. Li te frape Filisten an, e SENYÈ a te fè rive yon gran delivrans pou tout Israël. Ou te wè e ou te rejwi. Konsa, poukisa ou ta peche kont san inosan an nan mete David a lanmò san koz?”
6 And when Saul had heard this, being pleased by the voice of Jonathan, he swore, “As the Lord lives, he shall not be killed.”
Saül te koute vwa a Jonathan, e Saül te fè ve: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, li p ap mete a lanmò.”
7 And so Jonathan called David, and he revealed to him all of these words. And Jonathan led in David to Saul, and he was before him, just as he had been yesterday and the day before.
Alò, Jonathan te rele David e li te di li tout pawòl sila yo. Epi Jonathan te mennen David vè Saül, e li te vin nan prezans li kòm oparavan.
8 Then the war was stirred up again. And David went out and fought against the Philistines. And he struck them down with a great slaughter. And they fled from his face.
Lè te gen lagè ankò, David te sòti pou te goumen avèk Filisten yo, e te bat yo avèk yon gwo masak, jiskaske yo te sove ale devan li.
9 And the evil spirit from the Lord came to Saul, who was sitting in his house and holding a lance. And David was playing music with his hand.
Alò, te genyen yon move lespri ki sòti nan SENYÈ a sou Saül pandan li te chita lakay li avèk yon frenn nan men li, pandan David t ap jwe ap la avèk men li.
10 And Saul attempted to fix David to the wall with the lance. But David turned aside from the face of Saul. And the lance failed to wound him, and it became fixed in the wall. And David fled, and so he was saved that night.
Saül te tante frennen David pou kloure li nan mi an avèk frenn nan, men li te chape kite prezans a Saül. Konsa, frenn nan te kloure nan mi lan. David te sove ale e te pran flit menm nwit sa.
11 Therefore, Saul sent his guards to David’s house, so that they might watch for him, and so that he might be killed in the morning. And after Michal, his wife, had reported this to David, saying, “Unless you save yourself this night, tomorrow you will die,”
Saül te voye mesaje yo lakay David pou yo ta veye li, avèk entansyon pou mete l a lanmò nan maten an. Men Mical, madanm a David la te avèti li. Li te di: “Si ou pa sove lavi ou aswè a, demen ou va mete a lanmò.”
12 she lowered him down through a window. Then he fled and went away, and he was saved.
Konsa, Mical te fè David lagedesann nan yon fenèt. Li te sòti deyò e te chape ale.
13 Then Michal took a statue, and placed it on the bed. And she placed the pelt of a goat for the hair at its head. And she covered it with clothes.
Mical te pran zidòl kay la e li te poze li sou kabann nan. Li te mete yon kouvèti fèt avèk plim kabrit kote tèt li e te kouvri li avèk rad.
14 And Saul sent attendants to seize David. And it was answered that he was sick.
Lè Saül te voye mesaje yo pran David, li te di: “Li malad.”
15 And again, Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him to me on the bed, so that he may be killed.”
Alò, Saül te voye mesaje yo wè David, e li te di: “Mennen li monte kote mwen sou kabann li, pou m kab mete l a lanmò.”
16 And when the messengers had arrived, they found a likeness on the bed, with a goat pelt at its head.
Lè mesaje yo te antre, gade byen, zidòl kay la te sou kabann nan avèk kouvèti plim kabrit la sou tèt li.
17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me in this way, and released my enemy, so that he may flee?” And Michal responded to Saul, “Because he said to me, ‘Release me, otherwise I will kill you.’”
Konsa, Saül te di a Mical: “Poukisa ou te twonpe m konsa e kite lènmi mwen an ale jiskaske li vin chape?” Mical te reponn Saül: “Li te di mwen, ‘Kite mwen ale! Poukisa mwen ta bezwen mete ou a lanmò?’”
18 Now David was saved by fleeing, and he went to Samuel in Ramah. And he reported to him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went away and stayed at Naioth.
Alò David te sove ale e te chape rive vè Samuel nan Rama. Epi li te di li tout sa ke Saül te fè l. Li menm avèk Samuel te ale rete Najoth.
19 Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, “Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah.”
Koze sa a te rive kote Saül ke: “Gade byen, David nan Najoth nan Rama.”
20 Therefore, Saul sent officers to seize David. And when they had seen a company of prophets prophesying, with Samuel presiding over them, the Spirit of the Lord also came to them, and they also began to prophesy.
Epi Saül te voye mesaje yo pran David. Men lè yo te wè konpayi pwofèt yo ki t ap pwofetize ansanm avèk Samuel, ki te kanpe kòm dirijans sou yo, Lespri Bondye te vini sou mesaje Saül la, epi yo tou te pwofetize.
21 And when this was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers. But they also prophesied. And again, Saul sent messengers a third time. And they also prophesied. And Saul, being exceedingly angry,
Lè sa te pale a Saül, li te voye lòt mesaje. Epi yo menm tou te vin pwofetize. Alò, Saül te voye mesaje yon twazyèm fwa, e yo anplis te pwofetize.
22 also went to Ramah himself. And he went as far as the great cistern, which is in Socoh. And he inquired and said, “In which place are Samuel and David?” And it was told to him, “Behold, they are at Naioth, in Ramah.”
Epi li menm tou te ale Rama pou kont li e te rive jis nan gran pwi ki nan Secu a. Li te pale e te di: “Kote Samuel avèk David?” Epi yon moun te di: “Veye byen, yo nan Najoth nan Rama.”
23 And he went to Naioth, in Ramah, and the Spirit of the Lord came to him also. And he continued on, walking and prophesying, until he arrived at Naioth, in Ramah.
Li te kontinye jis rive nan Najoth nan Rama. Konsa, Lespri Bondye te vini sou li tou jiskaske li t ap pwofetize pandan nan wout la pou rive kote Najoth nan Rama a.
24 And he also took off his garments, and he prophesied with the others before Samuel. And he fell down naked, throughout that day and night. From this, too, is derived the proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
Anplis, li te retire rad li, li tou te pwofetize devan Samuel e li te kouche toutouni tout jounen an ak tout nwit lan. Pou sa, yo konn di: “Èske Saül, osi, pami pwofèt yo?”
