< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 David escaped and went to the cave of Adullam. When they heard where he was his brothers and all the rest of his family went and joined him there.
Konsa, David te kite la pou te chape rive nan kav Adullam nan. Epi lè frè li yo avèk tout lakay papa li te tande koze sa a, yo te desann bò kote li.
2 Everyone who was in trouble or in debt or resentful also came to him and he became their leader. He had around four hundred men with him.
Tout sila ki te nan pwoblèm yo, tout moun ki te nan gwo dèt, tout moun ki pa t kontan te vin rasanble kote li, e li te devni chèf sou yo. Alò te gen anviwon kat-san òm avèk li.
3 Then David went to Mizpeh in the country of Moab. He asked the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I find out what God is planning for me.”
Epi David te kite la pou ale Mitspé nan Moab. Li te di a wa Moab la: “Souple, kite papa m avèk manman m vin rete avèk ou jiskaske mwen konnen sa ke Bondye va fè pou mwen an.”
4 So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with the king all the time David lived in the stronghold.
Epi li te kite yo avèk wa Moab la. Yo te rete avèk li pandan tout tan ke David te nan fò a.
5 But then the prophet Gad told David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go back to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
Pwofèt la, Gad, te di a David: “Pa rete nan fò a. Sòti ale nan peyi Juda.” Konsa, David te sòti e te ale nan forè a nan Héreth.
6 Saul found out that David had returned and where he was. Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill in Gibeah. He had his spear in his hand, with all his officials surrounding him.
Alò Saül te tande ke David avèk mesye ki te avèk li yo te vin dekouvri. Konsa, Saül te chita nan Guibea anba pye tamaren an sou ti mòn lan avèk frenn li nan men l e tout sèvitè li yo te kanpe antoure li.
7 Saul said to them, “Listen to me, you men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse going to give all of you fields and vineyards and make you commanders and officers in the army?
Saül te di a sèvitè ki te kanpe antoure li yo: “Tande koulye a, O Benjamit yo! Èske fis a Jesse a, osi bannou tout chan kiltive avèk chan rezen? Èske li va fè nou tout kòmandan a dè milye e kòmandan a dè santèn?
8 Is that why you've all plotted against me? Not a single one of you told me that my own son had made an agreement with Jesse's son. Not a single one of you has shown you cared about me, or explained to me that my son has encouraged him to try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
Paske nou tout te fè konplo kont mwen jiskaske pèsòn pa t fè m konnen lè fis mwen an te fè yon akò avèk fis a Jesse a. Nanpwen nan nou ki gen regrè pou mwen, ni ki di mwen ke fis mwen an te fòse sèvitè pa m yo kont mwen pou kouche an anbiskad, jan li ye la jodi a.”
9 Doeg the Edomite, who was standing there with Saul's officers, spoke up, saying, “I saw the son of Jesse visit Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, at Nob.
Alò, Doëg, Edomit lan, ki te kanpe akote sèvitè Saül yo te di: “Mwen te wè fis a Jesse a lè l t ap vini Nob, kote Achimélec, fis a Achithub la.
10 Ahimelech asked advice from the Lord for him and gave him food. He gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine as well.”
Li te konsilte SENYÈ a pou li, li te ba li pwovizyon e li te bay li nepe Goliath la, Filisten an.”
11 The king sent a message to summon Ahimelech the priest, son of Ahitub, and all his family, who were priests at Nob. They all came to the king.
Alò, wa a te voye yon moun pou livre yon lòd prezans obligatwa pou Achimélec, prèt la, fis Achithub la, avèk tout lakay papa li, prèt ki te nan Nob yo. Epi tout te vin parèt devan wa a.
12 “Now you listen, son of Ahitub,” the king shouted. “What is it, my lord?” Ahimelech asked.
Saül te di: “Koute koulye a, fis a Achithub la.” Epi li te reponn: “Men mwen isit la, mèt mwen.”
13 “Why have you and the son of Jesse plotted against me? You gave him bread and a sword, and asked advice from God for him so that he could rebel against me and try and kill me, which is what he's doing right now!”
Alò, Saül te di li: “Poukisa ou menm avèk fis a Jesse a te fè konplo kont mwen nan afè ba li pen, avèk yon nepe e konsilte avèk Bondye pou li, pou li kapab leve kont mwen e kache fè anbiskad, jan sa ye la jodi a?”
14 “Who of all your officers is as trustworthy as David, the king's son-in-law? He is in charge of your bodyguard, and highly respected in your family!” Ahimelech responded.
Alò, Achimélec te reponn wa a e te di: “Epi se kilès pami sèvitè ou yo ki fidèl tankou David, bofis menm a wa a, ki se kapitèn gad ou e onore lakay ou?
15 “And was that day the first time he asked advice from God on his behalf? Of course not! The king should not accuse me your servant or any of my family, for I didn't know anything about any of this.”
Èske se jodi a ke m fenk kòmanse konsilte Bondye pou li? Lwen de mwen, sa! Pa kite wa a fè okenn move panse sou sèvitè li a, ni okenn moun lakay papa m; paske sèvitè ou a pa konnen anyen nan afè sila a.”
16 “You're going to die for this!” the king declared. “You and all your family!”
Men wa a te di: “Anverite, ou va mouri, Achimélec; ou menm avèk tout lakay papa ou!”
17 Then the king turned to his bodyguards standing there and ordered them, “Kill these priests of the Lord, because they're on David's side! They knew he was a fugitive and yet they didn't tell me!” But the king's guards refused to attack the priests of the Lord.
Epi wa a te di a gad ki te okipe li yo: “Vire mete prèt SENYÈ a a lanmò, akoz men yo avèk David e akoz yo te konnen ke li te sove ale e yo pa t revele sa a mwen menm.” Men sèvitè a wa yo pa t vle lonje men yo pou atake prèt SENYÈ yo.
18 So the king ordered Doeg, “You kill the priests!” Doeg the Edomite attacked and killed the priests, killing eighty-five men wearing the priestly ephod.
Alò, wa a te di a Doëg: “Ou menm vire atake prèt yo.” Epi Doëg, Edomit lan, te vire atake prèt yo e te touye katre-ven-senk òm ki te abiye ak efòd len an.
19 Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and slaughtered its men and women, children and infants, cattle, donkeys, and sheep.
Epi li te frape Nob, vil prèt yo avèk lam nepe, ni gason, ni fanm, ni timoun ni bebe, ansanm avèk bèf, bourik ak mouton avèk lam nepe.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, managed to escape. His name was Abiathar, and he ran away and joined David.
Men youn nan fis Achimélec yo ki te rele Abiathar te chape sove ale pou twouve David.
21 He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord.
Abiathar te di David ke Saül te touye prèt SENYÈ yo.
22 David told Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he was going to tell Saul about it. It's my fault that all your family have died.
Alò, David te di a Abiathar: “Mwen te konnen nan jou sa a, lè Doëg, Edomit lan, te la, ke li t ap byensi pale ak Saül. Mwen te fè rive lanmò a chak moun lakay papa ou yo.
23 But you can stay with me and you don't need to be afraid, because the man who wants to kill you wants to kill me too. I'll take good care of you.”
Rete avèk mwen. Pa pè. Moun ki vle touye ou a ap eseye touye mwen tou. Ou va ansekirite avèk mwen.”
