1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
Moun ki rete nan dezè Zif yo al jwenn Sayil lavil Gibeya, yo di l': -Men David kache sou ti mòn Akila a, sou limit dezè peyi Jida a.
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Sayil pati lamenm avèk twamil (3000) sòlda nan pi bon sòlda peyi Izrayèl la. Li desann nan dezè Zif la al dèyè David.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Li moute kan li sou ti mòn Akila a, toupre wout la, sou limit dezè a. David menm te nan dezè a toujou. Lè li vin konnen Sayil te vin dèyè l' nan dezè a,
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
li voye kèk espyon. Yo vin di l' Sayil te desann vre nan dezè a.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
David leve, li pati pou kote Sayil te moute kan lame li a. Li gade pozisyon kote Sayil ak kòmandan lame li a, Abnè, pitit gason Nè a, te kouche. Sayil te kouche nan mitan, tout sòlda yo te kouche bò kote l'.
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
David pale ak Akimelèk, moun peyi Et la, ak Abichayi, frè Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, li di yo: -Kilès nan nou de a ki ta vle desann avè m' nan kan Sayil la? Abichayi reponn: -M'ap desann avè ou.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
Se konsa, jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, David ak Abichayi rive nan kan an. Yo wè Sayil kouche ap dòmi nan mitan kan an, frenn li te plante nan tè a bò tèt li. Abnè ak tout rès sòlda yo te kouche bò kote l' ap dòmi tou.
8 Then said Abishai to David, Elohim hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
Abichayi di David konsa: -Aswè a Seyè a lage lènmi ou lan nan men ou vre. Koulye a, kite m' kloure l' atè a ak pwòp frenn li a. Yon sèl kou ap ase. Mwen p'ap bezwen frape l' de fwa.
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against YHWH 's anointed, and be guiltless?
Men, David di Abichayi konsa: -Pa leve men sou li. Seyè a p'ap manke pini moun ki va leve men l' sou wa li menm li te chwazi a.
10 David said furthermore, As YHWH liveth, YHWH shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
Apre sa, David di: -Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè ki vivan an, se Seyè a menm ki pou touye l'. L'a mouri lè lè pou l' mouri a va rive, osinon l'a mouri nan lagè.
11 YHWH forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against YHWH 's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
Mande Bondye padon non! Mwen p'ap leve men m' sou wa Seyè a te chwazi a. Ann pran frenn li a ak krich dlo ki bò tèt li a. Epi ann ale.
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they got them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from YHWH was fallen upon them.
David pran frenn lan ak krich dlo ki te bò tèt Sayil la, epi yo ale. Pesonn pa t' wè sa, pesonn pa t' konnen sa ki te rive. Pesonn pa t' leve nan dòmi an. Yo te dòmi nèt ale, paske Seyè a te fè yon gwo dòmi pran yo.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:
Lè sa a, David janbe lòt bò fon an, li kanpe sou tèt ti mòn lan, byen lwen ak yon bèl distans nan mitan li ak lame a.
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
Li pran rele sòlda yo ak Abnè, pitit gason Nè a, li di yo konsa: -Abnè o! Eske ou tande mwen? Abnè reponn: -Kilès k'ap rele nan zòrèy wa a konsa?
15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thymaster the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thymaster.
David di li: -Se pa gason ou ye? Ki moun ki ka koresponn avè ou nan peyi Izrayèl la? Poukisa ou pa pwoteje wa a, mèt ou, pi byen? Talè a, gen yon moun ki antre nan kan an ak lide pou l' te touye wa a.
16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As YHWH liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, YHWH 's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
Li pa bon non sa ou fè a. Ou manke sou travay ou, Abnè. Mwen fè sèman devan Bondye ki vivan an, nou tout nou merite yo touye nou. Paske nou pa pwoteje mèt nou, wa Seyè a te chwazi a! Gade non! Kote frenn wa a? Kote krich dlo ki te bò tèt li a?
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, mymaster, O king.
Sayil rekonèt vwa David, li di: -David, pitit mwen, se ou menm pa vre? David di li: -Se mwen wi, monwa!
18 And he said, Wherefore doth mymaster thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
Apre sa, li di ankò: -Chèmèt mwen, poukisa w'ap pousib mwen konsa, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la? Kisa m' fè? Ki krim mwen fè?
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let mymaster the king hear the words of his servant. If YHWH have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before YHWH; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of YHWH, saying, Go, serve otherelohim.
Koulye a, monwa, tanpri koute sa m'ap di ou. Si se Seyè a ki moute tèt ou kont mwen, al fè yon ofrann ba li pou li ka chanje lide l'. Men, si se moun k'ap fè ou fè sa, se pou madichon Seyè a tonbe sou yo! Koulye a, yo mete m' deyò nan peyi a pou m' pèdi pòsyon pa m' nan tè Seyè a te bay pèp li a, yo voye m' al sèvi lòt bondye.
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of YHWH: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
Pa kite yo touye m' nan peyi etranje byen lwen Seyè a! Poukisa pou wa Izrayèl la leve tout lame a pou l' chache touye yon ti pis tankou m'? Poukisa pou l' ap kouri dèyè m' nan tout mòn yo tankou lè moun ap fè lachas ranmye!
21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
Sayil reponn: -Sa m' fè a mal. Tounen non, David, pitit mwen. Mwen p'ap janm chache fè ou mal paske ou refize touye m' aswè a ankò. Wi, mwen te aji tankou moun fou, mwen te fè yon bagay ki pa bon menm.
22 And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
David reponn li: -Monwa, men frenn ou an. Fè yonn nan moun ou yo janbe vin chache l'.
23 YHWH render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for YHWH delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against YHWH 's anointed.
Seyè a va bay chak moun sa yo merite, dapre jan yo mache devan li, dapre jan yo kenbe pwomès yo. Jòdi a, li te lage ou nan men m'. Men, mwen pa fè ou anyen, mwen pa leve men m' sou wa Seyè a te chwazi a.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of YHWH, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
Menm jan mwen te gen respè pou ou jòdi a, m' pa touye ou, mwen mande Seyè a pou l' fè menm bagay la pou mwen tou, lèfini pou l' wete m' nan tout tèt chaje sa yo.
25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Sayil di David: -Se pou Bondye beni ou, pitit gason mwen! Se pou tou sa w'ap fè mache byen! Apre sa, David al fè wout li, Sayil menm tounen lakay li.
