1 Samuel 21
1 Then David went into Nob, to the priest Ahimelech. And Ahimelech was astonished that David had arrived. And he said to him, “Why are you alone, and no one is with you?”
Alò, David te rive Nob, vè Achimélec, prèt la. Achimélec te parèt tou tranble lè l te rankontre David, e li te mande li: “Poukisa se ou sèl e pa gen moun avèk ou?”
2 And David said to the priest Ahimelech: “The king has instructed to me a word, and he said: ‘Let no one know the matter about which you have been sent by me, and what type of instructions I have given to you. For I have also summoned servants to one and another place.’
David te di a Achimélec, prèt la: “Wa a te ban m yon komisyon konsènan yon afè e li te di mwen: ‘Pa kite pèsòn konnen anyen sou afè ke m ap voye ou a. Se sou sila mwen ap pase ba ou lòd la; mwen te dirije mesye yo a yon sèten plas.’
3 Now therefore, if you have anything at hand, even five loaves of bread, or whatever you may find, give it to me.”
Konsa, kisa ou gen nan men ou? Ban m senk moso pen oswa nenpòt sa ou kab twouve.”
4 And the priest, responding to David, said to him: “I have no common bread at hand, but only holy bread. Are the young men clean, especially from women?”
Prèt la te reponn David, e te di: “Nanpwen pen òdinè, men gen pen konsakre; si sèlman mesye yo te kenbe tèt yo lwen fanm.”
5 And David responded to the priest, and said to him: “Indeed, as concerns being with women, we have abstained since yesterday and the day before, when we departed, and so the vessels of the young men have been holy. And although, this journey has been defiled, it will also be sanctified today as concerns the vessels.”
David te reponn prèt la e te di li: “Asireman, fanm yo te kenbe lwen de nou kòm dabitid lè m konn pati. Kò a mesye yo te sen, malgre li te yon vwayaj òdinè. Konbyen anplis jodi a kò yo va sen?”
6 Therefore, the priest gave to him sanctified bread. For there was no bread there, but only the bread of the Presence, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, so that fresh loaves might be set up.
Konsa, prèt la te ba li pen konsakre a, paske pa t gen pen la sof ke pen Prezans ki te retire soti devan SENYÈ a, pou l ta kab ranplase li avèk pen cho menm lè ke li te retire.
7 Now a certain man among the servants of Saul was there on that day, inside the tabernacle of the Lord. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the most powerful among the shepherds of Saul.
Alò, youn nan sèvitè a Saül yo te la nan jou sa a, fèmen devan SENYÈ a. Non li se te Doëg, Edomit la, chèf a bèje Saül yo.
8 Then David said to Ahimelech: “Do you have, here at hand, a spear or a sword? For I did not take my own sword, or my own weapons with me. For the word of the king was urgent.”
David te di a Achimélec: “Alò, èske pa gen yon frenn oswa yon nepe ki disponib? Paske mwen pa t mennen ni nepe mwen, ni zam mwen avè m, akoz afè wa a te tèlman ijan.”
9 And the priest said: “Behold, here is the sword of Goliath, the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Terebinth. It is wrapped up in a cloak behind the ephod. If you wish to take this, take it. For there is nothing else here except this.” And David said, “There is nothing else like this, so give it to me.”
Alò, prèt la te di: “Nepe Goliath la, Filisten an, ke ou te touye nan vale Ela a. Gade byen, li vlope nan yon twal dèyè efòd la. Si ou vle li, pran l. Paske nanpwen lòt sof ke li menm isit la.” Epi David te di: “Nanpwen lòt tankou li. Ban mwen li.”
10 And so, David rose up, and he fled on that day from the face of Saul. And he went to Achish, the king of Gath.
Alò, David te leve e te sove ale kite Saül nan jou sa a pou te ale vè Akisch, wa a Gath la.
11 And the servants of Achish, when they had seen David, said to him: “Is this not David, the king of the land? Were they not singing about him, while dancing, saying, ‘Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand?’”
Men sèvitè a Akisch yo te di li: “Èske sa se pa David, wa a peyi a? Èske yo pa t konn chante a sila a pandan yo t ap danse, e t ap di: ‘Saül te touye dè milye pa li e David dè di-milye pa li?’”
12 Then David took these words to his heart, and he became exceedingly afraid before the face of Achish, the king of Gath.
David te swiv pawòl sa yo nan kè l e te pè Akisch, wa Gath la anpil.
13 And he altered his mouth before them, and he slipped down between their hands. And he stumbled against the doors of the gate. And his spit flowed down his beard.
Konsa, li te kache bon tèt li devan yo e te aji tankou moun fou pandan li te nan men yo. Li te ekri pa aza yon bann mak sou pòtay avèk pòt yo e te kite krache desann sou bab li.
14 And Achish said to his servants: “You saw that the man is insane. Why did you bring him to me?
Akisch te di a sèvitè li yo: “Gade byen, ou wè mesye a ap aji tankou yon moun fou. Poukisa ou mennen li kote mwen?
15 Or do we have need of those who are mad, so that you would bring in this one, to behave madly in my presence? How did this man get into my house?”
Èske mwen manke moun fou, pou ou te mennen sila a pou aji tankou moun fou nan prezans mwen? Èske sila a va antre lakay mwen?”
