< 1 Samuel 28 >
1 And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies to be prepared for war against Israel: and Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy 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 Achis: Now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achis said to David: And I will appoint thee to guard my life for ever.
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 Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha his city. And Saul had put away all the magicians and soothsayers out of 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 were gathered together, and came and camped in Sunam: and Saul also gathered together all Israel, and came to Gelboe.
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 army of the Plilistines, and was afraid, and his heart was very much dismayed.
Lè Saül te wè kan Filisten yo, li te pè e kè li te tranble anpil.
6 And he consulted the Lord, and he answered him not, 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 me a woman that hath a divining spirit, and I will go to her, and inquire by her. And his servants said to him: There is a woman that hath 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 Then he disguised himself: and 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 to me by thy divining spirit, and bring me up him whom I shall tell thee.
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 thou knowest all that Saul hath done, and how he hath rooted out the magicians and soothsayers from the land: why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to 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 unto her by the Lord, saying: As the Lord liveth there shall no evil happen to thee for this thing.
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 bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up 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 saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and said to Saul: Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art 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: Fear not: what hast thou seen? And the woman said to Saul: I saw gods ascending out of 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 form is he of? And she said: An old man cometh up, and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul understood that it was Samuel, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground, and adored.
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 And Samuel said to Saul: Why hast thou disturbed my rest, that I should be brought up? And Saul said, I am in great distress: for the Philistines fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest shew me what I shall 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 askest thou me, seeing the Lord has departed from thee, and is gone over to thy 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 thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour 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 Because thou didst not obey the voice of the Lord, neither didst thou execute the wrath of his indignation upon Amalec. Therefore hath the Lord done to thee what thou sufferest 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 deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow thou and thy sons shall be with me: and the Lord will also deliver the army 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 forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground, for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no 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 the woman came to Saul (for he was very much troubled) and said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest 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 Now therefore hear thou also the voice of thy handmaid, and let me set before thee a morsel of bread, that thou mayest eat and recover strength, and be able to go on thy 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 said: I will not eat. But his servants and the woman forced him, and at length hearkening to their voice, he arose from the ground and 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 made haste and killed it: and taking meal kneaded it, and baked some 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 set it before Saul, and before his servants. And when they had eaten they rose up, and walked all that night.
Li te mennen li devan Saül avèk sèvitè li yo e yo te manje. Apre yo te leve sòti menm nwit lan.
