< 1 Samuel 30 >

1 And it came to pass, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the south, and upon Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag and burned it with fire;
Alò, li vin rive lè David avèk mesye pa li yo te vini Tsiklag nan twazyèm jou a, ke Amalekit yo te fè yon atak sou Negev ak sou Tsiklag pou te detwi Tsiklag e te brile li avèk dife.
2 and had taken the women captives that were in it; both great and small: they had put none to death, but had carried them off, and went on their way.
Anplis, yo te pran an kaptivite fanm ki te ladann yo, ni piti ni gran, san touye pèsòn, yo te pran yo e ale fè wout yo.
3 And David and his men came to the city, and behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives.
Lè David avèk mesye li yo te vini nan vil la, vwala, li te brile avèk dife. Madanm yo ak fis pa yo e fi pa yo te pran an kaptivite.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Alò David avèk moun ki te avè l yo te leve vwa yo e te kriye jiskaske yo pa t gen fòs nan yo pou kriye.
5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Alò, de madanm a David yo te pran an kaptivite, Achinoam, Jizreyelit la ak Abigaïl, vèv Nabal la, Kamelit la.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him; for the soul of all the people was embittered, every man because of his sons and because of his daughters; but David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.
Anplis ke sa David te nan gwo pwoblèm akoz moun yo t ap pale afè lapide li, paske tout moun yo te anmè, yo tout akoz fis yo ak fi yo. Men David te ranfòse li menm nan SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, Bring near to me, I pray thee, the ephod. And Abiathar brought the ephod near to David.
David te di a Abiathar, prèt la, fis Achimélec la: “Souple, pote ban m efòd la.” Konsa, Abiathar te pote efòd la bay David.
8 And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he said to him, Pursue; for thou shalt assuredly overtake [them] and shalt certainly recover.
David te fè demann SENYÈ a. Li te mande: “Èske mwen dwe swiv bann mouton sa a? Èske mwen va gen tan jwenn yo?” Epi Li te reponn li: “Swiv yo, paske ou va anverite, jwenn yo, e ou va sove tout.”
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and they came to the torrent Besor; and those that were left stayed behind.
Konsa, David te ale, li ansanm avèk sis-san mesye ki te avèk li yo. Yo te rive kote ravin Besor a, kote sila ki te kite dèyè yo te rete a.
10 And David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were too exhausted to go over the torrent Besor.
Men David te kontinye pouswiv, li menm avèk kat-san mesye yo. Paske lòt de-san nan yo ki te twò bouke pou travèse ravin Besor a, te rete.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink,
Konsa, yo te twouve yon Ejipsyen nan chan an e yo te mennen li kote David. Yo te ba li pen pou li te manje e yo te bay li dlo pou l bwè.
12 and gave him a piece of fig-cake and two raisin-cakes, and he ate, and his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, for three days and three nights.
Yo te ba li yon mòso gato fig etranje ak de grap rezen pou li te manje. Epi lespri li te vin leve, paske li pa t manje ni bwè dlo pandan twa jou ak twa nwit.
13 And David said to him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
David te mande li: “Pou kilès ou ye? Kibò ou sòti?” Li te di: “Mwen se yon jennonm ki sòti an Égypte, sèvitè a yon Amalekit. Mèt mwen te kite m dèyè lè m te tonbe malad twa jou pase.
14 We made a raid against the south of the Cherethites, and against what [belongs] to Judah, and against the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Nou te fè yon atak nan Negev a Keretyen yo ak sou sa ki apatyen a Juda a ak nan Negev pou Caleb la; epi nou te brile Tsiklag avèk dife.”
15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt neither put me to death nor deliver me up into the hand of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.
Konsa, David te mande li: “Èske ou va mennen mwen desann kote lame sila a?” Li te reponn: “Sèmante a mwen menm pa Bondye pou ou pa touye mwen ni livre mwen nan men a mèt mwen an, epi mwen va mennen ou desann kote lame sa a.”
16 And he brought him down, and behold, they were spread over the whole land, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Lè li te mennen li desann, vwala, yo te gaye nan tout tè a, yo t ap manje, bwè e danse akoz tout gran piyaj ke yo te pran nan peyi Filisten avèk peyi Juda yo.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
David te fè masak sou yo soti nan aswè jis rive nan pwochen jou a. Nanpwen yon nonm nan yo ki te chape, sof kat-san jennonm ki te monte sou chamo pou te sove ale.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken: and David recovered his two wives.
Konsa, David te reprann tout sa ke Amalekit yo te pran yo, e te livre reprann de madanm li yo.
19 And there was nothing missed by them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil nor anything that they had taken: David brought all back.
Men anyen ki te pou yo pa t manke, ni piti, ni gran, fis oswa fi, piyaj, oswa nenpòt sa ke yo te pran pou yo menm; David te mennen tout retounen.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before the other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
Konsa, David te vin kaptire tout mouton ak bèf ki te pouse devan lòt bèt yo, epi yo te di: “Sa se piyaj a David.”
21 And David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow David, and whom they had left behind at the torrent Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and David drew near to the people and saluted them.
Lè David te rive kote de-san mesye ki te twò bouke pou swiv David yo, sa yo ki te rete kote ravin Besor yo te parèt pou rankontre David avèk moun ki te avèk li yo. David te pwoche pèp la pou te salye yo.
22 And all the wicked men, and [men] of Belial, of those that had gone with David, answered and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [aught] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away and depart.
Alò, tout mesye mechan yo avèk sanzave yo pami sila ki te ale avèk David yo te di: “Akoz yo pa t ale avèk nou, nou p ap bay yo anyen nan piyaj ke nou te reprann an, sof a chak mesye, madanm yo avèk pitit yo pou yo kapab mennen yo ale sòti.”
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah has given us, who has preserved us, and given the troop that came against us into our hand.
Alò, David te di: “Fòk nou pa fè sa, frè m yo, avèk sa ke SENYÈ a te bannou, ki te kenbe nou e livre nan men nou lame a ki te vini kont nou an.
24 And who will hearken to you in this matter? For as his share is that goes down to the battle, so shall his share be that abides by the baggage: they shall share alike.
Epi se kilès ki va koute ou nan afè sila a? Paske jan pòsyon a sila ki te desann nan batay la, se menm jan an pòsyon pa l ki rete avèk pwovizyon yo. Yo va separe menm jan an.”
25 And it was [so] from that day forward; and he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Se konsa ke li te ye depi nan jou sa a, ke li te fè l vin yon prensip ak yon règleman ke yo va separe menm jan an.
26 And David came to Ziklag, and he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah:
Alò, lè David te vini Tsiklag, li te voye nan piyaj la kote ansyen a Juda yo, a zanmi li yo, e li te di: “Gade byen, yon kado pou nou soti nan piyaj a lènmi a SENYÈ yo.”
27 to those in Bethel, and to those in south Ramoth, and to those in Jattir,
Li te voye l a sila ki te Béthel yo, sila ki te Ramoth a Negev la ak sila ki te Jatthir yo,
28 and to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in Eshtemoa,
anplis, a sila ki te Aroër yo, a sila ki te Siphmoth yo ak sila ki te Eschthemoa yo,
29 and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites,
epi a sila ki te Racal yo, sila ki te nan vil a Jerachmeyelit yo ak sila ki te nan vil a Kenyen yo,
30 and to those in Hormah, and to those in Chor-ashan, and to those in Athach,
epi a sila ki te Horma yo, a sila ki te Cor-Aschan yo ak sila ki te Athac yo,
31 and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men went about.
epi a sila ki te Hébron yo, ak tout zòn kote David li menm avèk mesye li yo te abitye rete yo.
