1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the South, and upon Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
De jou apre, David rive lavil Ziklag ansanm ak mesye l' yo. Moun Amalèk yo te gen tan anvayi tout zòn Negèv nan peyi Jida. Yo te atake lavil Ziklag tou, yo te boule lavil la nèt.
2 and had taken captive the women and all that were therein, both small and great; they slew not any, but carried them off, and went their way.
Lèfini, yo te pran tout fanm yo ak tout rès moun ki te la yo, timoun kou granmoun, yo te pati ak yo. Yo pa t' touye pesonn, men yo te pran tout moun, yo pati ak yo al fè wout yo.
3 And when David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
Lè David rive ak mesye l' yo, yo jwenn lavil la te boule nèt epi madanm yo, pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo pa t' la. Moun yo te pati ak yo tout.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
David ak mesye l' yo pran rele, yo kriye jouk yo pa kapab ankò.
5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Moun yo te pati ak de madanm David yo tou, Akinoam, moun lavil Jizreyèl ak Abigayèl, madan defen Nabal, moun lavil Kamèl.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
David te nan gwo tèt chaje paske mesye l' yo te fache anpil deske yo te pèdi pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo, yo te fè lide touye David ak kout wòch. Men, Seyè a, Bondye li a, te ba l' kont kouraj.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech: 'I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod.' And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
David rele Abyata, prèt la, pitit gason Akimelèk la, li di l' konsa: -Pote jile Bondye a isit ban mwen! Abyata pote jile Bondye a bay David.
8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them?' And He answered him: 'Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all.'
David pale ak Seyè a, li di li: -Eske se pou m' ale dèyè bann moun sa yo? Eske m'a rapouswiv yo? Seyè a di li: -Ou mèt ale dèyè yo. W'a rapouswiv yo, epi w'a sove moun yo fè prizonye yo.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
Se konsa David pati avèk sisan (600) mesye ki te avè l' yo. Lè yo rive nan ravin Bezò a, gen kèk nan mesye yo ki rete la.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
David menm kontinye sou wout li avèk katsan (400) moun. Lòt desan (200) yo te rete paske yo te bouke anpil, yo pa t' gen fòs pou yo te travèse dlo Bezò a.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they gave him water to drink;
Mesye ki t' ale avèk David yo jwenn yon moun peyi Lejip nan zòn lan. Yo mennen l' bay David. Yo ba li manje, yo ba li bwè.
12 and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came back to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
Yo ba li yon moso gato figfrans ak de grap rezen chèch. Lè li fin manje, li reprann fòs, paske depi twa jou twa nwit li pa t' manje anyen, ni li pa t' janm bwè dlo.
13 And David said unto him: 'To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou?' And he said: 'I am a young Egyptian, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
David mande l': -Ki moun ki mèt ou? Moun ki bò ou ye? Li reponn: -Mwen se moun peyi Lejip, esklav yonn nan moun Amalèk yo. Jòdi a fè twa jou depi mèt mwen kite m' dèyè, paske mwen te malad.
14 We made a raid upon the South of the Cherethites, and upon that which belongeth to Judah, and upon the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.'
Nou te anvayi zòn Negèv kote keretyen yo rete a. Apre sa, nou pase nan zòn Negèv ki nan peyi Jida a, ak zòn Negèv ki nan peyi Kalèb la. Lèfini, nou mete dife nan lavil Ziklag.
15 And David said to him: 'Wilt thou bring me down to this troop?' And he said: 'Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this troop.'
David mande l': -Eske ou ka mennen nou kote bann moun sa yo ye a? Li reponn li: -Si ou pran Bondye pou temwen pou ou pwomèt mwen ou p'ap touye m', ni ou p'ap lage m' nan men mèt mwen an, m'ap mennen ou kote yo ye a.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and feasting, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
Li mennen David kote moun Amalèk yo ye a. Moun Amalèk yo te gaye toupatou. Sa ki t'ap manje t'ap manje, sa ki t'ap bwè t'ap bwè. Yo t'ap fè fèt paske yo te piye anpil bagay kay moun Filisti yo ak kay moun peyi Jida yo.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day; and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled.
Nan denmen, granmaten David atake yo, li goumen ak yo jouk nan aswè. Pesonn pa t' chape, an wetan katsan (400) jenn gason ki moute kèk chamo epi ki gen tan kouri ale.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
David sove dènye sa moun Amalèk yo te pran nan piyay yo a. Li sove de madanm li yo tou.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them; David brought back all.
David mennen tout pitit fi ak tout pitit gason mesye l' yo tounen ansanm ak tout bagay moun Amalèk yo te pran nan piyay yo a. Pa t' manke anyen.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said: 'This is David's spoil.'
Lèfini, li pran tout bann mouton ak bèf yo tou. Mesye yo t'ap pouse bèt yo devan, yo t'ap di: -Men, tou sa David pran pou li nan batay la.
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to abide at the brook Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him; and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
David t'ap tounen, li rive bò desan (200) mesye li te kite bò ravin Bezò a paske yo te twò fèb pou ale avè l'. Yo mache vin kontre David ansanm ak lòt mesye l' yo. David mache al jwenn yo, li di yo bèl bonjou.
22 Then answered all the wicked men and base fellows, of those that went with David, and said: 'Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.'
Men, pami mesye ki t' ale avèk David yo, te gen kèk malveyan ak vòryen ki t'ap di: -Mesye sa yo pa t' ale avèk nou. Nou p'ap ba yo anyen nan sa nou pran an. N'ap annik renmèt yo madanm yo ak pitit yo pou y' al fè wout yo.
23 Then said David: 'Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given unto us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
Men David di yo konsa: -Frè m' yo, nou pa ka fè sa ak sa Seyè a ban nou! Li pa kite anyen rive nou, li lage bann moun ki te vin piye nou yo nan men nou.
24 And who will hearken unto you in this matter? for as is the share of him that goeth down to the battle, so shall be the share of him that tarrieth by the baggage; they shall share alike.'
Pesonn pa ka dakò ak sa n'ap di la a. Nou pral separe bay chak moun sa ki pou yo: sa ki te rete dèyè nan kan an ap resevwa menm kantite ak sa ki te desann al goumen.
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
Se konsa depi jou sa a, David fè prensip sa a tounen yon lwa. Jouk jòdi a y'ap swiv menm prensip sa a toujou nan peyi Izrayèl.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying: 'Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD';
Lè David tounen Ziklag, li pran nan bagay li te sezi nan men lènmi yo, li voye bay zanmi l' yo ki te chèf nan peyi Jida a, li di yo konsa: -Men kado mwen voye pou nou nan sa nou pran nan men lènmi Seyè yo.
27 to them that were in Beth-el, and to them that were in Ramoth of the South, and to them that were in Jattir;
Li voye bay moun lavil Betèl, bay moun lavil Rama nan zòn Negèv la, bay moun lavil Yati,
28 and to them that were in Aroer, and to them that were in Siphmoth, and to them that were in Eshtemoa;
bay moun lavil Awoyè, bay moun lavil Sifmòt ak moun lavil Echtemoa,
29 and to them that were in Racal, and to them that were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them that were in the cities of the Kenites;
bay moun lavil Rakal ak moun ki rete nan lavil branch fanmi Jerakmeyèl yo ak nan lavil moun Kayen yo,
30 and to them that were in Hormah, and to them that were in Bor-ashan, and to them that were in Athach;
bay moun lavil Oma, moun lavil Borachan ak moun lavil Atak,
31 and to them that were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
bay moun lavil Ebwon, bay moun ki toupatou kote David ak mesye l' yo te pase.
