1 Samuel 23
1 And they reported to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the grain stores.”
Alò, yo te pale David. Yo te di: “Gade byen, Filisten yo ap goumen kont Keïla. Y ap piyaje grenn jaden sou glasi yo.”
2 Therefore, David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I go and strike down these Philistines?” And the Lord said to David, “Go, and you shall strike down the Philistines, and you shall save Keilah.”
Konsa, David te fè demann a SENYÈ a. Li te mande L: “Èske mwen dwe ale atake Filisten sila yo?” Epi SENYÈ a te reponn David: “Ale atake Filisten yo pou delivre Keïla.”
3 And the men who were with David said to him, “Behold, we continue in fear here in Judea; how much more so, if we go into Keilah against the troops of the Philistines?”
Men mesye David yo te di li: “Gade byen, nou nan perèz menm isit la nan Juda. Konbyen anplis, si nou ale Keïla kont chan Filisten yo?”
4 Therefore, David consulted the Lord again. And responding, he said to him: “Rise up, and go into Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
Alò, David te fè demann SENYÈ a yon lòt fwa. Epi SENYÈ a te pale li e te di: “Leve, desann Keïla; paske Mwen va livre Filisten yo nan men ou.”
5 Therefore, David and his men went into Keilah. And they fought against the Philistines, and they took away their cattle, and they struck them with a great slaughter. And David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Konsa, David avèk mesye pa li yo te ale Keïla pou te goumen avèk Filisten yo. Yo te mennen bèt yo sòti e te frape moun avèk yon gwo masak. Konsa David te delivre pèp a Keïla a.
6 And in that time, when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, was in exile with David, he had descended to Keilah, having an ephod with him.
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Abiathar, fis Achimélec la, te sove ale pou rive kote David nan Keïla, li te desann avèk yon efòd nan men l.
7 Then it was reported to Saul that David had gone to Keilah. And Saul said: “The Lord has delivered him into my hands. For he is enclosed, having entered into a city which has gates and bars.”
Lè yo te pale a Saül ke David te vini Keïla, Saül te di: “Bondye te delivre li nan men m. Paske li te fèmen li menm andedan lè l te antre nan yon vil avèk pòtay doub ak fè fòje.”
8 And Saul instructed all the people to descend in order to fight against Keilah, and to besiege David and his men.
Konsa, Saül te konvoke tout pèp la pou fè lagè, pou desann Keïla pou fè syèj sou David avèk mesye pa li yo.
9 And when David had realized that Saul had secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
Alò David te konnen ke Saül t ap fè konplo mechanste kont li. Konsa, li te di a Abithar, prèt la: “Mennen efòd la isit la.”
10 And David said: “O Lord God of Israel, your servant has heard a report that Saul is planning to go to Keilah, so that he may overturn the city because of me.
Epi David te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, Sèvitè ou tande ke se sèten ke Saül ap chache vini Keïla pou detwi vil la akoz mwen menm.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hands? And will Saul descend, just as your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, reveal to your servant.” And the Lord said, “He will descend.”
Èske mesye Keïla yo va livre mwen nan men li? Èske Saül va desann tankou sèvitè ou te tande a? O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, mwen priye, pale ak sèvitè ou a.” Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Li va desann.”
12 And David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me, and the men who are with me, into the hands of Saul?” And the Lord said, “They will deliver you.”
Konsa, David te di: “Èske mesye Keïla yo va livre mwen avèk mesye pa mwen yo nan men Saül?” SENYÈ a te reponn: “Yo va livre ou.”
13 Therefore, David, and his men of about six hundred, rose up, and, departing from Keilah, they wandered here and there, aimlessly. And it was reported to Saul that David had fled from Keilah, and was saved. For this reason, he chose not to go out.
Alò, David avèk mesye pa li yo, anviwon sis-san moun, te leve sòti Keïla, e yo te ale nenpòt kote ke yo ta kab ale. Lè li te pale a Saül ke David te chape Keïla, li te sispann swiv li.
14 Then David stayed in the desert, in very strong places. And he stayed on a mount in the wilderness of Ziph, on a shady mount. Nevertheless, Saul was seeking him every day. But the Lord did not deliver him into his hands.
David te rete nan dezè a nan fòterès yo e li te rete nan peyi ti mòn dezè Ziph la. Epi Saül te chache li chak jou. Men Bondye pa t livre li nan men li.
15 And David saw that Saul had gone out, so that he might seek his life. Now David was in the desert of Ziph, in the woods.
Alò, David te vin konprann ke Saül te parèt deyò pou chache lavi li pandan David te nan dezè Ziph la nan Horès.
16 And Jonathan, the son of Saul, rose up and went to David in the woods, and he strengthened his hands in God. And he said to him:
Epi Jonathan, Fis a Saül la, te leve ale kote David nan Horès pou te ankouraje li nan Bondye.
17 “Do not be afraid. For the hand of my father, Saul, will not find you. And you shall reign over Israel. And I will be second to you. And even my father knows this.”
Konsa, li te di li: “Pa pè, paske men Saül, papa m nan, p ap jwenn ou. Ou va wa sou Israël e mwen va bò kote ou; epi Saül, papa m, konnen sa tou.”
18 Therefore, they both struck a pact before the Lord. And David stayed in the woods. But Jonathan returned to his house.
Konsa, yo de a te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a. Epi David te rete Horès pandan Jonathan te ale lakay li a.
19 Then the Ziphites ascended to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, is not David hidden with us in very secure places in the woods on the hill of Hachilah, which is to the right of the desert?
Epi Zifyen yo te vin monte kote Saül nan Guibea, e te di: “Èske David pa kache pami nou nan fòterès nan Horès yo, sou mòn a Hakila a, ki sou kote sid a Jeschimon an?
20 Now therefore, if your soul has desired to descend, then descend. Then it will be for us to deliver him into the hands of the king.”
Alò, koulye a, O wa, desann selon tout volonte nanm ou ta vle fè. Epi poupati pa nou an, nou va livre li nan men a wa a.”
21 And Saul said: “You have been blessed by the Lord. For you have grieved for my situation.
Saül te di: “Ke ou kapab beni pa SENYÈ a, paske ou te gen kè sansib anvè mwen.
22 Therefore, I beg you, go forth, and prepare diligently, and act carefully. And consider the place where his foot may be, and who may have seen him there. For he thinks, concerning me, that I craftily plan treachery against him.
Ale, koulye a, fè byensi e fè ankèt pou wè kote li mete pye li ak sila ki konn wè li la yo; paske yo di m ke li rize anpil.
23 Consider and seek out all his hiding places, in which he may be concealed. And return to me with certainty about the matter, so that I may go with you. But if he would even press himself into the earth, I will search him out, amid all the thousands of Judah.”
Konsa, gade e aprann tout kote l kache kò l, retounen kote mwen avèk asirans e m ap prale avè w. Epi si li nan peyi a, mwen va chache mete l deyò pami tout milye Juda yo.”
24 And rising up, they went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plain to the right of Jeshimon.
Epi yo te leve ale Ziph devan Saül. Alò, David avèk mesye pa li yo te nan dezè Maon, nan Araba akote sid a Jeschimon.
25 Then Saul and his allies went to seek him. And this was reported to David. And immediately, he descended to the rock, and he moved about in the desert of Maon. And when Saul had heard of it, he pursued David in the desert of Maon.
Lè Saül avèk mesye pa li yo te ale chache, yo te fè David konnen. Konsa, li te desann kote wòch la pou te rete nan dezè Maon an. Epi lè Saül te tande sa, li te kouri dèyè David nan dezè Maon an.
26 And Saul went to one side of the mountain. But David and his men were on the other side of the mountain. Then David was despairing that he would be able to escape from the face of Saul. And Saul and his men enclosed David and his men in the manner of a crown, so that they might capture them.
Saül te ale yon bò mòn nan, David avèk mesye pa l sou lòt kote mòn nan. Epi David t ap fè vit pou chape kite Saül, paske Saül avèk mesye pa li yo t ap antoure David avèk mesye pa li yo pou yo ta sezi yo.
27 And a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, because the Philistines have poured themselves out upon the land.”
Men yon mesaje te vin kote Saül, e te di: “Fè vit! Vini! Paske Filisten yo te atake peyi a.”
28 Therefore, Saul turned back, ceasing in the pursuit of David, and he traveled to meet the Philistines. For this reason, they called that place, the Rock of Division.
Konsa, Saül te retounen soti nan kouri dèyè David pou te ale rankontre Filisten yo. Pou sa, yo te vin rele plas sa a Wòch Chape a.
29 Then David ascended from there, and he lived in very secure places in Engedi.
David te monte soti la a pou te rete nan fòterès En-Guédi yo.
