1 Samuel 24
1 When Saul was turned from ye Philistims, they told him, saying, Behold, Dauid is in the wildernes of En-gedi.
Lè Sayil tounen soti fè lagè ak moun Filisti yo, yo vin di l' David te nan dezè Angedi a.
2 Then Saul tooke three thousande chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seeke Dauid and his men vpon the rocks among the wilde goates.
Sayil pran twamil (3000) sòlda nan pèp Izrayèl la, sa ki te fò anpil nan fè lagè. Epi li pati al chache David ak mesye l' yo sou solèy leve Wòch Kabrit mawon yo.
3 And hee came to the sheepecoates by the way where there was a caue, and Saul went in to do his easement: and Dauid and his men sate in the inward parts of the caue.
Li rive devan yon gwòt ki te toupre yon pak mouton bò wout la. Li antre nan gwòt la al fè bezwen li. David menm te kache nan fon gwòt la ansanm ak mesye l' yo.
4 And the men of Dauid said vnto him, See, the day is come, whereof the Lord sayde vnto thee, Beholde, I will deliuer thine enemie into thine hande, and thou shalt doe to him as it shall seeme good to thee. Then Dauid arose and cut off the lap of Sauls garment priuily.
Mesye yo di David konsa: -Men chans ou, men okazyon Seyè a te di l'ap ba ou a. Seyè a te di: L'ap lage lènmi ou la nan men ou, w'a fè sa ou vle avè l'. David leve, li mache tou dousman, li koupe yon moso nan rad Sayil san Sayil pa konn sa.
5 And afterward Dauid was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lappe which was on Sauls garment.
Men apre sa, konsyans David repwoche l' pou ke rad Sayil li te koupe a.
6 And he said vnto his men, The Lord keepe mee from doing that thing vnto my master the Lords Anoynted, to lay mine hand vpon him: for he is the Anoynted of the Lord.
Li di moun li yo: -Mande Bondye padon! Mwen p'ap fè bagay konsa sou mèt mwen, moun Bondye chwazi pou wa a. Mwen p'ap janm leve men mwen sou li, paske se Seyè a menm ki te chwazi l' pou wa.
7 So Dauid ouercame his seruants with these words, and suffered them not to arise against Saul: so Saul rose vp out of the caue and went away.
David pale ak mesye l' yo pou yo wete lide konsa nan tèt yo. Li pa kite yo fè Sayil anyen. Sayil leve, li soti nan gwòt la, li mache al fè wout li.
8 Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying, O my lorde the King. And when Saul looked behinde him, Dauid inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himselfe.
Lè sa a, David soti dèyè l', li rele l': -Monwa! Monwa! Sayil vire gade dèyè li. David tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt li jouk atè.
9 And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
Epi li di: -Poukisa w'ap koute moun k'ap di ou m'ap chache fè malè sou ou?
10 Behold, this day thine eyes haue seene, that the Lord had deliuered thee this day into mine hand in the caue, and some bade me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee, and said, I will not lay mine hande on my master: for he is the Lordes Anoynted.
Gade, jòdi a ou wè ak je ou ki jan Seyè a te lage ou nan men m' anndan gwòt la. Gen moun ki di m' se pou m' te touye ou. Men, kè m' fè m' mal pou ou. Mwen di mwen p'ap janm leve men m' sou mèt mwen, paske se Seyè a menm ki te chwazi ou pou wa.
11 Moreouer my father, behold: behold, I say, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand: for when I cut off the lappe of thy garment, I killed thee not. Vnderstad and see, that there is neither euil nor wickednesse in mee, neither haue I sinned against thee, yet thou huntest after my soule to take it.
Gade, papa mwen! Men yon moso ke rad ou nan men m'! Mwen koupe moso ke rad ou, men mwen pa t' touye ou. Koulye a ou konnen, ou wè mwen pa gen anyen dèyè tèt mwen, mwen pa gen ankenn lide mechanste nan tèt mwen. Mwen pa fè ou anyen ki mal. Se ou menm k'ap chache touye m'.
12 The Lord be iudge betweene thee and me, and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let not mine hand be vpon thee.
Se pou Seyè a jije ant nou de a kilès ki antò! Se pou Seyè a pini ou pou sa w'ap fè m' la a, paske mwen menm, mwen p'ap janm leve men m' sou ou.
13 According as the olde prouerbe sayeth, Wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked, but mine hand be not vpon thee.
Jan pwovèb granmoun lontan yo di: Se moun mechan ki fè mechanste! Men mwen p'ap leve men m' sou ou.
14 After whom is the King of Israel come out? after whome doest thou pursue? after a dead dog, and after a flea?
Dèyè ki moun wa pèp Izrayèl la ye konsa? Dèyè ki moun l'ap kouri konsa? Dèyè yon chen mouri? Dèyè yon ti pis?
15 The Lord therfore be iudge, and iudge betweene thee and me, and see, and pleade my cause, and deliuer me out of thine hand.
Seyè a va sèvi nou jij! L'a jije ant nou de a kilès ki antò! Se pou l' mete bouch nan zafè a, pou l' pran defans mwen, pou l' delivre m' anba men ou.
16 Whe Dauid had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul sayd, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? and Saul lift vp his voice, and wept,
Lè David fin pale, Sayil di: -Se pa vwa David, pitit gason m' lan, sa? Epi li pran kriye.
17 And sayd to Dauid, Thou art more righteous then I: for thou hast rendred me good, and I haue rendred thee euill.
Li di David konsa: -Ou gen rezon. Se mwen ki antò! Ou te aji byen avè m'. Se mwen menm ki te aji mal avè ou.
18 And thou hast shewed this day, that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou killedst me not.
Jòdi a ankò, ou fè m' wè se byen ou vle fè pou mwen paske, atout Seyè a lage m' nan men ou, ou pa touye m'.
19 For who shall finde his enemie, and let him depart free? wherefore the Lord render thee good for that thou hast done vnto me this day.
Lè yon moun jwenn okazyon pou l' mete men l' sou lènmi l', èske l'ap kite l' al fè wout li san li pa fè l' anyen? Bondye va beni ou pou sa ou fè pou mwen jòdi a.
20 For now behold, I know that thou shalt be King, and that the kingdome of Israel shall be stablished in thine hand.
Koulye a, mwen konnen ou gen pou ou wa vre. Avèk ou menm wa pèp Izrayèl la, gouvènman an ap kanpe fèm.
21 Sweare now therfore vnto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seede after me, and that thou wilt not abolish my name out of my fathers house.
Men tanpri, pwomèt mwen, nan non Seyè a, ou p'ap touye pitit mwen yo lè m'a mouri, pou non m' pa disparèt nan fanmi papa m'.
22 So Dauid sware vnto Saul, and Saul went home: but Dauid and his men went vp vnto ye hold.
David pwomèt Sayil li p'ap fè sa. Apre sa, Sayil al lakay li. David menm tounen nan kachèt li ansanm ak mesye pa l' yo.
