< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
David kite lavil Gat, li sove, l' al kache nan yon gwòt toupre lavil Adoulam. Lè frè l' yo ak rès fanmi li vin konn sa, yo tout desann al jwenn li la.
2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men.
Lè sa a, tout moun ki te gen pwoblèm, tout moun ki te dwe lajan, tout moun ki pa t' kontan sitiyasyon an vin jwenn li. David vin chèf yo. Te gen katsan (400) gason konsa antou.
3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said unto the king of Moab: 'Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.'
David kite kote l' te ye a, l' ale lavil Mispa nan peyi Moab. Epi li di wa Moab la: -Tanpri, kite papa m' ak manman m' vin rete isit la lakay ou, jouk mwen rive konnen sa Bondye vle fè avè m'.
4 And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
Se konsa David mennen papa l' ak manman l' lakay wa Moab la. Yo rete la pandan tout tan David te rete kache nan gwòt la.
5 And the prophet Gad said unto David: 'Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah.' Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
Yon pwofèt yo rele Gad vin di David: -Piga ou rete nan gwòt la. Pati koulye a. Ale nan peyi Jida! David pati vre, l' al nan rakbwa Erèt la.
6 And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him; now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
Sayil menm te lavil Gibeya, chita anba pye tonmaren ki sou mòn lan, avèk frenn li nan men l'. Tout chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo te kanpe la bò kote l'. Li te pran nouvèl moun te vin konnen kote David ak mesye l' yo te ye.
7 And Saul said unto his servants that stood about him: 'Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds;
Epi Sayil di chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo: -Nou menm fanmi Benjamen yo, koute! Eske nou mete nan lide nou David, pitit gason Izayi a, pral ban nou jaden ak pye rezen tou? Eske l'ap fè nou kaptenn ak chèf nan lame li a?
8 that all of you have conspired against me, and there was none that disclosed it to me when my son made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or discloseth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?'
Se poutèt sa nou tout n'ap fè konplo sou mwen. Nou yonn pa di m' pwòp pitit gason m' lan te koupe kontra ak David, pitit gason Izayi a? Pa gen yonn nan nou ki pran lapenn pou mwen. Pesonn pa vin di m' pitit gason mwen an ap moute tèt David sou do mwen, yon moun ki t'ap sèvi avè m', epi ki koulye a ap chache mwayen pou li touye m'.
9 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said: 'I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
Doèg, moun peyi Edon an ki te chèf tout moun k'ap travay ak Sayil yo, di l' konsa: -Mwen te wè David, pitit gason Izayi a lè li t' ale lavil Nòb, lakay Akimelèk, pitit gason Akitoub la.
10 And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.'
Akimelèk te pale ak Seyè a pou David. Apre sa, li bay David kèk pwovizyon ansanm ak nepe Golyat, sòlda Filisti a.
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob; and they came all of them to the king.
Se konsa, wa a voye rele Akimelèk, prèt la, pitit gason Akitoub la, ansanm ak tout fanmi l' yo ki te prèt tou nan lavil Nòb. Yo tout moute kay wa a.
12 And Saul said: 'Hear now, thou son of Ahitub.' And he answered: 'Here I am, my lord.'
Sayil di Akimelèk: -W'ap tande m', pitit gason Akitoub la? Akimelèk reponn li: -M'ap tande ou wi, monwa!
13 And Saul said unto him: 'Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?'
Sayil mande l': -Poukisa ou mete tèt ou ansanm ak David, pitit gason Izayi a, pou nou fè konplo sou mwen? Poukisa ou ba li pwovizyon ansanm ak yon nepe? Poukisa ou pale ak Seyè a pou li? Koulye a, men li leve dèyè m', l'ap chache okazyon pou li touye m'.
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said: 'And who among all thy servants is so trusted as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and giveth heed unto thy bidding, and is honourable in thy house?
Akimelèk reponn li: -Nan tout moun k'ap sèvi avè ou yo, pa gen yonn ki renmen ou tankou David. Se bofi ou li ye, li fè pati gad kò ou yo. Tout moun lakay ou respekte l'.
15 Have I to-day begun to inquire of God for him? be it far from me; let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more.'
Se pa jòdi a premye fwa mwen pale ak Seyè a pou li, mande Bondye padon. Monwa, ou pa bezwen akize ni mwen ni pesonn nan fanmi m' n'ap fè konplo sou ou. Mwen pa konn anyen sou koze sa a, monwa!
16 And the king said: 'Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.'
Wa a di l' konsa: -Akimelèk, yo pral touye ou, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou yo.
17 And the king said unto the guard that stood about him: 'Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me.' But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
Lèfini, li di gad ki te kanpe bò kote l' yo: -Touye prèt Seyè yo. Yo menm tou y'ap fè konplo ak David la. Yo te konnen byen pwòp se sove msye t'ap sove, yo pa di m' anyen. Men gad yo refize leve men yo sou prèt Seyè a pou touye yo.
18 And the king said to Doeg: 'Turn thou, and fall upon the priests.' And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
Lè sa a, Sayil di Doèg: -Ou menm, touye prèt yo: Epi Doèg touye yo tout. Jou sa a, li touye katrevensenk prèt Seyè a.
19 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
Sayil fè touye tout moun ki te rete nan Nòb, lavil prèt yo: fanm kou gason, timoun, ti bebe nan tete, ansanm ak bèf, bourik, ak mouton. Yo touye tout.
20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
Sèl Abyata, yonn nan pitit gason Akimelèk yo, te resi chape kò l'. Li kouri l' al jwenn David.
21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD'S priests.
Li rakonte David ki jan Sayil te masakre tout prèt Seyè yo.
22 And David said unto Abiathar: 'I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul; I have brought about the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
David di l' konsa: -Depi mwen te wè Doèg, nèg peyi Edon an, la, mwen te konnen li pa t'ap pa di Sayil sa. Se mwen menm ki reskonsab lanmò tout fanmi ou yo.
23 Abide thou with me, fear not; for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life; for with me thou shalt be in safeguard.'
Ou mèt rete avè m'. Ou pa bezwen pè. Koulye a Sayil pral chache touye ni ou ni mwen. Bò kote m', anyen p'ap rive ou.
