1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Samuel te mouri. Konsa, tout Israël te rasanble ansanm pou te kriye pou li, e yo te antere li kote kay li nan Rama. Konsa, David te leve desann nan dezè Paran an.
2 And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Te gen yon mesye nan Maon ki te fè komès li nan Carmel. Mesye a te byen rich e li te gen twa-mil mouton avèk twa-mil kabrit. Li t ap taye lenn mouton li nan Carmel.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
Alò, non mesye a te Nabal e madanm li te rele Abigaïl. Fanm nan te entèlijan e bèl pou wè, men mesye a te di e mechan nan tout afè li yo. Se te yon moun nan ras Caleb.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
David te tande soti nan dezè a ke Nabal t ap taye lenn mouton li yo.
5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
Alò, David te voye dis jennonm kote l. David te di a jennonm sa yo: “Monte Carmel pou vizite Nabal e salye li nan non mwen.
6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
Epi konsa ou va pale: ‘Ke lavi ou kapab byen long, lapè avèk ou, lapè avèk lakay ou e lapè sou tout sa ou genyen.
7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
Alò, mwen te tande ke ou genyen tay lenn mouton. Alò, bèje ou yo te avèk moun nou yo. Nou pa t ensilte yo, ni yo pa t manke anyen nan tout jou ke yo te pase Carmel yo.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
Mande jennonm pa ou yo e yo va pale ou. Pou sa, kite jennonm pa m yo jwenn favè nan zye ou. Paske nou vin parèt nan yon jou ke tout moun ap fete. Pou sa, silvouplè, bay nenpòt sa ke nou twouve nan men a sèvitè ou yo, e a fis ou, David.’”
9 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Lè jennonm a David yo te parèt, yo te pale ak Nabal selon tout pawòl sa yo nan non David; epi yo te tann.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
Men Nabal te reponn sèvitè David yo e te di: “Se kilès ki David la? Epi se kilès ki fis a Jesse a? Gen anpil sèvitè nan tan sa yo k ap chape kite mèt yo.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
Alò, se pou sa ke m ta dwe pran pen mwen avèk dlo mwen ak vyann ke m te fin kòche pou ouvriye pa m yo e bay li a mesye ke m pa menm konnen kote yo sòti yo?”
12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
Alò, jennonm a David yo te retounen fè wout yo. Konsa, yo te rive pale David selon tout pawòl sa yo.
13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
David te di a mesye pa li yo: “Nou chak mete nepe nou nan senti nou.” Konsa, tout moun te mete nepe yo nan senti yo. David osi te mete nepe li nan senti li e anviwon kat-sant òm te monte dèyè David pandan de-san te rete avèk pwovizyon yo.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
Men youn nan jennonm yo te pale ak Abigaïl, madanm Nabal la. Li te di: “Gade byen, David te voye mesaje yo soti nan dezè a pou salye mèt nou an e li te betize avèk yo.
15 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
Malgre sa, mesye yo te trete nou byen e nou pa t ensilte, ni nou pa t manke anyen tout tan ke nou te avèk yo a, pandan nou te nan chan yo.
16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Yo te yon mi pwotèj pou nou ni lannwit ni lajounen, toutotan ke nou te avèk yo pou gade mouton yo.
17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
Alò, pou sa, kalkile byen kisa ou ta dwe fè. Paske se yon konplo mal k ap fèt kont mèt nou an ak kont tout lakay li, e li tèlman se yon sanzave ke pèsòn pa kab pale avè l.”
18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
Alò, Abigaïl te kouri pran de-san mòso pen ak de veso diven, avèk senk mouton deja prepare, senk mezi sereyal boukannen avèk san grap rezen, de-san gato fig etranje e te chaje yo sou bourik yo.
19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
Li te pale a jennonm pa li yo: “Ale devan m! Gade byen, m ap swiv nou.” Men li pa t pale mari li, Nabal.
20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
Li te vin rive ke pandan li te toujou ap monte sou bourik li a e t ap desann nan pati mòn ki kache a, gade byen, David avèk mesye pa li yo t ap desann vin jwenn li. Konsa, li te rankontre yo.
21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
Alò, David te di: “Anverite, se an ven ke m t ap veye tout afè ke mesye sa a te genyen nan dezè a, pou l pa manke anyen nan sa ki te pou li yo! Konsa, li te remèt mwen mal pou byen!
22 So and more also do Elohim unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
Ke Bondye fè sa a lènmi a David yo e menm plis si avan maten rive, si m kite menm yon mal pami tout sa ki pou li yo!”
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
Lè Abigaïl te wè David, li te kouri desann bourik li, li te tonbe atè devan David e te koube li menm jis atè.
24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, mymaster, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
Li te tonbe nan pye li e te di: “Sou mwen sèl, mèt mwen, ke tò sa a vin tonbe. Epi souple, kite sèvant ou an pale avèk ou e koute pawòl a sèvant ou an.
25 Let not mymaster, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of mymaster, whom thou didst send.
Souple, pa kite mèt mwen okipe mesye sanzave sila a, Nabal, paske jan non li ye a, se konsa li ye. Nabal se non li e foli toujou avèk li. Men mwen, sèvant pa ou a, mwen pa t wè jennonm, mèt mwen, ke ou te voye yo.
26 Now therefore, mymaster, as YHWH liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing YHWH hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to mymaster, be as Nabal.
Alò, pou sa, mèt mwen, jan SENYÈ a viv la, akoz SENYÈ a te anpeche ou vèse san e fè vanjans pa w avèk pwòp men ou; alò, kite lènmi ou yo avèk sila ki chache mal kont mèt mwen yo, vin tankou Nabal.
27 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto mymaster, let it even be given unto the young men that follow mymaster.
Alò, kite kado sila ke sèvant ou pote pou mèt mwen an, bay a jennonm ki akonpanye mèt mwen yo.
28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for YHWH will certainly make mymaster a sure house; because mymaster fighteth the battles of YHWH, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
Souple, padone transgresyon a sèvant ou a. Paske SENYÈ a va vrèman fè pou mèt mwen yon kay k ap dire, akoz mèt mwen ap mennen batay a SENYÈ a, emal p ap twouve bò kote ou pandan tout jou ou yo.
29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of mymaster shall be bound in the bundle of life with YHWH thy Elohim; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
Si yon moun ta leve kont ou pou kouri dèyè ou e chache lavi ou, nan lè sa a, lavi ou, mèt mwen va mare nan pakèt ak sila ki viv pou SENYÈ yo, Bondye ou a. Men lavi a lènmi ou yo, Li va lanse deyò tankou wòch k ap sòti nan pòch a yon fistibal.
30 And it shall come to pass, when YHWH shall have done to mymaster according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
Epi lè SENYÈ a fè pou ou, mèt mwen, selon tout bonte ke Li te pale konsènan ou menm e chwazi ou kòm chèf sou Israël,
31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto mymaster, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that mymaster hath avenged himself: but when YHWH shall have dealt well with mymaster, then remember thine handmaid.
ke ka sila a p ap koze ni doulè ni kè twouble pou mèt mwen, akoz li te vèse san san koz e ke li te pran vanjans li. Lè SENYÈ a aji byen avèk ou mèt mwen, alò sonje sèvant ou an.”
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
Alò, David te di a Abigaïl: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te voye ou jou sila a pou rankontre avè m!
33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
Beni se sajès ou. Beni se ou menm ki te kenbe m jou sa a pou m pa vèse san, e fè vanjans mwen menm avèk pwòp men m.
34 For in very deed, as YHWH Elohim of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
Sepandan, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la viv la, ki te anpeche mwen fè ou mal, sof ke ou te parèt vit pou rankontre mwen, anverite, pa t ap gen ki rete pou Nabal nan limyè maten an tankou yon ki fè pipi sou mi la.”
35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
Konsa David te resevwa nan men li sa ke li te pote pou li a. Epi li te di li: “Ale lakay ou anpè. Gade, mwen te koute ou e te bay ou demann pa ou a.”
36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
Alò Abigaïl te vin kote Nabal. Epi vwala, li t ap fè yon fèt lakay li a tankou fèt a yon wa. Kè Nabal te kontan anndan li, paske li te byen sou. Pou koz sa a, Abigaïl pa t di l anyen jis rive nan limyè maten.
37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Men nan maten, lè diven an te sòti nan Nabal, madanm li te di li bagay sa yo. Konsa kè l te mouri anndan li jiskaske li te vin tankou yon wòch.
38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that YHWH smote Nabal, that he died.
Anviwon di jou pita, SENYÈ a te frape Nabal e li te mouri.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be YHWH, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for YHWH hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head, And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
Lè David te tande ke Nabal te mouri, li te di: “Beni SENYÈ a, ki te plede kòz repwòch mwen nan men Nabal e ki te kenbe sèvitè li a pou l pa fè mal. SENYÈ a anplis, te fè malfezans a Nabal retounen sou pwòp tèt li.” Alò, David te voye ofri Abigaïl pou l ta pran li kòm madanm li.
40 And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee to take thee to him to wife.
Lè sèvitè a David yo te parèt kote Abigaïl nan Carmel, yo te pale a li e te di: “David te voye nou kote ou pou pran ou kòm madanm li.”
41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of mymaster.
Li te leve e te bese jis figi li rive atè, e te di: “Gade byen sèvant pa ou se yon sèvant ki pou ta lave pye a sèvant pa li yo.”
42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
Konsa, Abigaïl te leve vit pou te ale monte sou yon bourik, avèk senk sèvant li yo ki te okipe li. Li te swiv mesaje David yo e te devni madanm li.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
David te anplis pran Achinoam a Jizreel e yo toulède te devni madanm li.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
Alò, Saül te deja bay fi li, Mical, madanm a David, a Palti, fis a Laïsch ki te sòti Gallim.
