1 Samuel 27
1 And David said in his heart: 'I shall now be swept away one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel; so shall I escape out of his hand.'
Konsa, David te di nan tèt li: “Alò, yon jou mwen va peri nan men Saül. Nanpwen anyen k ap pi bon pou mwen pase pou m chape ale nan peyi Filisten yo. Konsa, Saül va dekouraje nan chache mwen toujou sou tout teritwa Israël la, e mwen va chape nan men li.”
2 And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
Konsa, David te leve e te travèse, li menm avèk sis-san òm ki te avè l yo, kote Akisch, fis a Maoc la, wa a Gath la.
3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
Epi David te viv avèk Akisch nan Gath, li menm avèk mesye pa li yo, chak moun avèk tout moun lakay yo. David te avèk de madanm pa li yo, Achinoam Jizreyelit la ak Abigaïl, Kamelit la, vèv a Nabal la.
4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath; and he sought no more again for him.
Alò, sa te pale a Saül ke David te sove ale Gath. Konsa, li pa t chache li ankò.
5 And David said unto Achish: 'If now I have found favour in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there; for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'
Alò, David te di a Akisch: “Si koulye a, mwen jwenn favè nan zye ou, kite yo ban mwen yon plas nan youn nan vil andeyò yo, pou m kapab viv la. Paske poukisa sèvitè ou ta viv nan vil wayal la avèk ou?”
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day; wherefore Ziklag belongeth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
Konsa, Akisch te bay li Tsiklag nan jou sa a. Konsa, Tsiklag te devni pou wa Juda yo jis rive jodi a.
7 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
Nonb de jou ke David te viv nan peyi a Filisten yo se te 1 nan, kat mwa.
8 And David and his men went up, and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Gizrites, and the Amalekites; for those were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
Alò, David avèk mesye pa li yo te monte pou te fè atak sou Gechouryen, Gizyen avèk Amalekit yo; paske se yo menm ki te mèt tè sa a depi nan tan ansyen yo, nan wout soti Schur, menm pou rive nan peyi Égypte la.
9 And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel. And he returned, and came to Achish.
David te atake peyi a, e pa t kite yon gason ni yon fanm vivan. Li te pran tout mouton, bèf, bourik, chamo, avèk rad. Apre, li te retounen kote Akisch.
10 And Achish said: 'Whither have ye made a raid to-day?' And David said: 'Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.'
Alò, Akisch te di: “Se kibò ou te atake jodi a?” Epi David te reponn: “Kont Negev la nan Juda e kont Negev a Kenyen yo.”
11 And David left neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying: 'Lest they should tell on us, saying: So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt in the country of the Philistines.'
David pa t kite yon mesye ni yon fanm vivan pou mennen yo nan Gath. Li te di: “Otreman, yo va pale afè nou, e di: ‘Se konsa David te fè e se konsa li aji pandan tout tan ke li rete nan peyi Filisten yo.’”
12 And Achish believed David, saying: 'He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.'
Konsa, Akisch te kwè David, Li te di: “Anverite, li vin fè tèt li rayisab pami pèp Israël pa l la. Konsa, li va sèvitè pa m jis pou tout tan.”
