1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had ended speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as 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 let him 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 And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Epi Jonathan te fè yon akò avèk David akoz li te renmen li tankou pwòp tèt li.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his dress, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
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 And David went forth; whithersoever Saul sent him he prospered; and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
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 And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambours, with joy, and with triangles.
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 answered [one another] as they played, and said, Saul hath smitten his thousands, And David his ten thousands.
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 And Saul was very wroth, and that saying was evil in his sight; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed the thousands; and [what] is there more for him but the kingdom?
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 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
Depi nan jou sa a, Saül te veye David de prè.
10 And it came to pass the next day that an evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house, but David played with his hand, as on other days; and the spear was in Saul's 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 Saul cast the spear, and thought, I will smite David and the wall. But David turned away from him twice.
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 was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Alò Saül te pè David, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li; men Li te fin kite Saül.
13 And Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before 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 And David prospered in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
David t ap reyisi nan tout chemen li yo, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li.
15 And Saul saw that he prospered well, and he stood in awe of him.
Lè Saül te wè ke li te byen reyisi konsa, li te vin gen gwo perèz li.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David, for he went out and came in 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 eldest daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife; only be thou valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles. But Saul thought, My hand shall not be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall 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 And David said to Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to 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 And it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that 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 And Michal Saul's daughter loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing was right in his sight.
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 him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son-in-law a second time.
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, Speak with David secretly, saying, Behold, the king has delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son-in-law.
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 Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, Is it a light thing in your eyes to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
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 of Saul told him, saying, On this manner did David speak.
Sèvitè a Saül yo te bay rapò a a li menm selon pawòl ke David te pale yo.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David: The king does not desire any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand 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 his servants told David these words; and the thing was right in David's sight to be the king's son-in-law. And the days were not expired,
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 when David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they delivered them in full to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter 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 knew that Jehovah was with David; and Michal Saul's daughter 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 was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul was David's enemy continually.
li te pè David menm plis. Konsa Saül te lènmi a David ale nèt.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David succeeded better than all the servants of Saul; and his name was much esteemed.
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.
