< 1 Samuel 28 >

1 Now it happened that, in those days, the Philistines gathered together their troops, so that they might be prepared for war against Israel. And Achish said to David, “I know now, certainly, that you will go out with me to war, you and your men.”
Alò, li te vin rive nan jou sa yo ke Filisten yo te rasanble kan lame pa yo pou fè lagè, pou goumen kont Israël. Epi Akisch te di a David: “Konnen byensi ke ou va sòti avè m nan kan an, ou menm avèk mesye pa ou yo.”
2 And David said to Achish, “You know now what your servant will do.” And Achish said to David, “And so, I will appoint you to guard my head for all days.”
David te di a Akisch: “Se bon, ou va vin konprann sa ke sèvitè ou kapab fè.” Akisch te reponn a David: “Se bon, mwen va fè ou gad pèsonèl mwen pou tout lavi ou.”
3 Now Samuel was dead, and all of Israel mourned for him, and they buried him in Ramah, his city. And Saul took away the magi and soothsayers from the land.
Nan lè sa a Samuel te fin mouri, tout Israël te deja kriye pou li e te antere l Ramah, pwòp vil pa li. Epi Saül te fin retire nan peyi a tout kalite moun sila ki te konn rele mò yo ak divinò yo.
4 And the Philistines gathered together, and they arrived and made camp at Shunem. Then Saul also gathered all of Israel, and he arrived at Gilboa.
Konsa, Filisten yo te rasanble ansanm e te vin fè kan nan Sunem. Epi Saül te rasanble tout Israël ansanm pou yo te fè kan nan Guilboa.
5 And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart was exceedingly terrified.
Lè Saül te wè kan Filisten yo, li te pè e kè li te tranble anpil.
6 And he consulted the Lord. But he did not respond to him, neither by dreams, nor by priests, nor by prophets.
Lè Saül te fè demann SENYÈ a, SENYÈ a pa t reponn li, ni nan rèv, ni avèk Orim, ni pa pwofèt yo.
7 And Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman having a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and consult through her.” And his servants said to him, “There is a woman having a divining spirit at Endor.”
Alò, Saül te pale sèvitè li yo: “Chache pou mwen yon fanm ki konn pale ak mò, pou m kab ale kote li pou mande li kèk bagay.” Sèvitè li yo te di li: “Gade byen, gen yon fanm ki konn pale ak mò nan En-Dor.”
8 Therefore, he changed his usual appearance, and he put on other clothes. And he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said to her, “Divine for me, by your divining spirit, and raise up for me whomever I will tell you.”
Alò, Saül te kache idantite li avèk lòt rad e te desann, li menm avèk de lòt mesye avèk li. Yo te vin kote fanm nan pandan nwit lan. Li te di: “Evoke fè monte pou mwen lespri la, souple, e mennen monte non moun sila ke m va nonmen pou ou a.”
9 And the woman said to him: “Behold, you know how much Saul has done, and how he has wiped away the magi and soothsayers from the land. Why then do you set a trap for my life, so that it will be put to death?”
Men fanm nan te di li: “Gade byen, ou konnen sa ke Saül te fè a, jan li te retire sila ki evoke mò avèk divinò nan peyi a. Alò poukisa w ap mete yon pèlen pou lavi mwen pou ou kab fè m mouri?”
10 And Saul swore to her by the Lord, saying, “As the Lord lives, nothing evil will befall you because of this matter.”
Saul te fè ve a li ke: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, p ap gen pinisyon k ap rive ou pou afè sila a.”
11 And the woman said to him, “Whom shall I raise up for you?” And he said, “Raise up for me Samuel.”
Alò, fanm nan te di: “Se kilès ke m ap fè monte pou ou a?” Epi li te di: “Mennen monte Samuel pou mwen.”
12 And when the woman had seen Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and she said to Saul: “Why have you afflicted me? For you are Saul!”
Lè fanm nan te wè Samuel, li te kriye fò avèk yon gwo vwa; epi fanm nan te pale avèk Saül e te di: “Poukisa ou te twonpe mwen? Paske se Saül ke ou ye.”
13 And the king said to her: “Do not be afraid. What have you seen?” And the woman said to Saul, “I saw gods ascending from the earth.”
Wa a te di li: “Pa pè; men se kisa ou wè?” Epi fanm nan te di Saül: “Mwen wè yon èt diven k ap monte sòti sou latè.”
14 And he said to her, “What appearance does he have?” And she said, “An old man ascends, and he is clothed in a cloak.” And Saul understood that it was Samuel. And he bowed himself upon his face on the ground, and he reverenced.
Li te di li: “Se ak kilès ke li sanble?” Epi li te di: “Yon granmoun k ap monte e li vlope nan yon manto.” Epi Saül te konnen ke se te Samuel. Li te bese avèk figi li atè pou te rann omaj.
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disquieted me, so that I would be raised up?” And Saul said: “I am greatly distressed. For the Philistines fight against me, and God has withdrawn from me, and he is not willing to heed me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams. Therefore, I have summoned you, so that you would reveal to me what I should do.”
Alò, Samuel te di a Saül: “Poukisa ou twouble m e mennen m monte?” Saül te reponn: “Mwen nan gwo pwoblèm anpil; paske Filisten yo ap fè lagè kont mwen, Bondye te kite mwen e Li pa reponn mwen ankò, ni pa pwofèt yo, ni nan rèv. Pou sa, mwen te rele ou, pou ou kapab fè m konnen kisa pou m fè.”
16 And Samuel said, “Why do you question me, though the Lord has withdrawn from you, and has crossed over to your rival?
Samuel te di: “Poukisa konsa ou vin mande mwen, akoz SENYÈ a te kite ou e te devni lènmi ou?
17 For the Lord will do to you just as he spoke by my hand. And he will tear your kingdom from your hand. And he will give it to your neighbor David.
SENYÈ a gen tan fè selon sa Li te pale nan mwen an. SENYÈ a fin chire wayòm nan soti nan men ou, e Li te bay li a vwazen ou an, a David menm.
18 For you did not obey the voice of the Lord, and you did not carry out the wrath of his fury upon Amalek. For this reason, the Lord has done to you what you are enduring this day.
Kòmsi ou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, e ou pa t fè gwo kòlè Li vin tonbe sou Amalek, konsa SENYÈ a te fè ou bagay sa a nan jou sa a.
19 And the Lord also will give Israel into the hands of the Philistines, along with you. Then tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. But the Lord will also deliver the camp of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”
Anplis SENYÈ a va, osi, bay Israël ansanm avèk ou menm nan men Filisten yo. Konsa, demen ou menm avèk fis ou yo va avèk mwen. Anverite, SENYÈ a va fè bay lame Israël la nan men a Filisten yo!”
20 And immediately, Saul fell stretched out on the ground. For he was terrified by the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him. For he had not eaten bread all that day.
Alò, Saül, lapoula, te tonbe atè nèt. Li te plen laperèz akoz pawòl a Samuel yo. Ni pa t gen fòs nan li, paske li pa t manje manje nan tout jou sa a, ni nan nwit lan.
21 And so, the woman entered to Saul, (for he was very troubled) and she said to him: “Behold, your handmaid has obeyed your voice, and I have placed my life in my hand. And I have heeded the words which you spoke to me.
Fanm nan te rive bò kote Saül. Li te wè ke li te tèlman gen krent jiskaske li te sezi, e li te di li: “Gade byen, sèvant ou te obeyi a ou menm e mwen te pran lavi mwen nan men m pou te koute pawòl ke ou te pale mwen yo.
22 And so now, I ask you to heed the voice of your handmaid, and let me place before you a morsel of bread, so that, by eating, you may recover strength, and you may be able to undertake the journey.”
Koulye a, pou sa, souple koute vwa sèvant ou an e kite mwen mete yon mòso pen devan ou. Manje pou ou kapab gen fòs lè ou pran chemen an.”
23 But he refused, and he said, “I will not eat.” But his servants and the woman urged him, and after some time, heeding their voice, he rose up from the ground, and he sat upon the bed.
Men li te refize. Li te di: “Mwen p ap manje.” Men sèvitè li yo te ankouraje li e li te koute yo. Konsa, li te leve sou tè a pou te chita sou kabann nan.
24 Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hurried and killed it. And taking meal, she kneaded it, and she baked unleavened bread.
Fanm nan te gen yon jenn bèf gra nan kay la. Byen vit li te kòche li, li te pran farin, li te frape l fè bòl, e li te kwit li fè pen san ledven.
25 And she set it before Saul and before his servants. And when they had eaten, they rose up, and they walked all through that night.
Li te mennen li devan Saül avèk sèvitè li yo e yo te manje. Apre yo te leve sòti menm nwit lan.
