1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gather their camps to battle, and are gathered to Shochoh, which [is] to Judah, and encamp between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim;
Moun Filisti yo sanble tout sòlda yo lavil Soko nan peyi moun Jida yo, pou y' al goumen. Yo pran pozisyon yon kote yo rele Fwontyè San, ant lavil Soko ak lavil Azeka.
2 and Saul and the men of Israel have been gathered, and encamp by the Valley of Elah, and set in array [for] battle to meet the Philistines.
Sayil vini ansanm ak moun Izrayèl yo, yo pran pozisyon nan fon Bwadchenn lan, epi yo ranje kò yo anfas moun Filisti yo pou y' al goumen ak yo.
3 And the Philistines are standing on the mountain on this [side], and Israel is standing on the mountain on that [side], and the valley [is] between them.
Moun Filisti yo te sou yon ti mòn yon bò, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te sou yon lòt ti mòn anfas. Fon an te nan mitan de lame yo.
4 And a man goes out, the champion from the camps of the Philistines, his name [is] Goliath, from Gath; his height [is] six cubits and a span [[or four cubits and a span]],
Yon bowòm yo rele Golyat, moun lavil Gat, soti nan kan moun Filisti yo, li parèt devan sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, li mande pou yonn ladan yo vin fè fas kare ak li. Li te gen nèf pye wotè.
5 and a helmet of bronze [is] on his head, and he is clothed [with] a scaled coat of mail, and the weight of the coat of mail [is] five thousand shekels of bronze,
Li te gen yon kas fè nan tèt li ak yon rad fèt an plak fè sou li. Rad la te peze sansenkant (150) liv pou pi piti.
6 and a frontlet of bronze [is] on his feet, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders,
Li te gen janbyè fèt an fè nan janm li, ak yon ti frenn fèt an asye pandye sou zepòl li.
7 and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam, and the flame of his spear [is] six hundred shekels of iron, and the bearer of the buckler is going before him.
Bwa gwo frenn ki te nan men l' lan te menm gwosè ak yon gwo manch pilon. Pwent frenn lan te fèt an fè. Li te peze vin liv konsa. Te gen yon sòlda ki t'ap mache devan l' avèk plak pwotèj li a.
8 And he stands and calls to the ranks of Israel, and says to them, “Why do you come out to set in array for battle? [Am] I not the Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me;
Golyat kanpe, epi li rele moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li di yo konsa: -Se goumen nou vin goumen? Poukisa atò? Mwen menm, se moun Filisti mwen ye. Nou menm, se esklav Sayil nou ye. Chwazi yon nonm nan mitan nou pou l' vin kare avè m'.
9 if he is able to fight with me, and has struck me, then we have been for servants to you; and if I prevail against him, and have struck him, then you have been for servants to us, and have served us.”
Si l' rive bat mwen pou l' touye m', moun Filisti yo va vin esklav moun Izrayèl yo. Men, si se mwen ki bat li, si m' touye l', se nou menm moun Izrayèl yo k'ap vin esklav moun Filisti yo pou sèvi yo.
10 And the Philistine says, “I have reproached the ranks of Israel this day; give a man to me and we fight together!”
Li di yo ankò: -Jòdi a mwen mete tout moun Izrayèl yo an defi. M' pini nou jwenn yon nonm ki pou vin kare avè m'.
11 And Saul hears—and all Israel—these words of the Philistine, and they are broken down and greatly afraid.
Lè Sayil ak tout sòlda moun Izrayèl yo tande sa sòlda Filisti a te di yo, yo vin pè anpil. Yo pran tranble.
12 And David [is] son of this Ephraimite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, whose name [is] Jesse, and he has eight sons, and the man has become aged among men in the days of Saul;
David te pitit gason yon nonm fanmi Efrata yo, ki te rete lavil Betleyèm, nan peyi Jida. Nonm lan te rele Izayi. Li te gen wit pitit gason. Sou rèy wa Sayil, li te deja fin granmoun.
13 and the three eldest sons of Jesse go, they have gone after Saul to battle; and the name of his three sons who have gone into battle [are] Eliab the firstborn, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
Twa premye pitit gason l' yo te pati al nan lagè ansanm ak Sayil. Pi gran an te rele Eliyab, dezyèm lan te rele Abinadab, twazyèm lan te rele Chama.
14 And David is the youngest, and the three eldest have gone after Saul,
David te dènye pitit Izayi. Twa pi gran yo te pati ansanm ak Sayil.
15 and David is going and returning from Saul, to feed the flock of his father at Beth-Lehem.
Tanzantan David te konn soti lakay Sayil desann lavil Betleyèm pou l' al okipe mouton papa l' yo.
16 And the Philistine draws near, morning and evening, and stations himself [for] forty days.
Chak maten, chak aswè, pandan karant jou, Golyat te vin kanpe devan sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo pou mande yo batay.
17 And Jesse says to his son David, “Now take an ephah of this roasted [grain] and these ten loaves for your brothers, and run to the camp to your brothers;
Yon jou, Izayi di David konsa: -Pran yon mamit grenn griye ak dis pen sa yo, kouri pote yo bay frè ou yo nan kan an.
18 and take these ten cuttings of the cheese to the head of the one thousand, and inspect your brothers for welfare, and receive their pledge.”
Pran dis fwomaj sa yo, pote yo bay kòmandan an. W'a pran nouvèl frè ou yo, ki jan yo ye. Epi w'a fè yo ba ou yon bagay pou m' sèten ou wè yo an sante.
19 And Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [are] in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Wa Sayil, frè ou yo ansanm ak tout lòt mesye Izrayèl yo nan Fon Bwadchenn lan ap goumen ak moun Filisti yo.
20 And David rises early in the morning, and leaves the flock to a keeper, and lifts up, and goes, as Jesse commanded him, and he comes to the path, and to the force which is going out to the rank, and they have shouted for battle;
Nan denmen maten, David leve byen bonè, li kite yon gadò pou veye mouton yo pou li, li pran manje a, epi li pati jan Izayi te di l' la. Lè li rive nan kan an, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te fèk soti pou y' al pran pozisyon batay. Yo t'ap rele pou chofe sòlda yo.
21 and Israel and the Philistines set in array rank to meet rank.
Lame moun Filisti yo ak lame moun Izrayèl yo vin kanpe yonn anfas lòt pou batay la.
22 And David lets down the goods from off him on the hand of a keeper of the goods, and runs into the rank, and comes and asks of his brothers of [their] welfare.
David kite manje li te pote a nan men nonm ki te reskonsab pwovizyon yo, li kouri kote batay la tapral mare a, l' al jwenn frè li yo. Li mande yo nouvèl yo.
23 And he is speaking with them, and behold, a man, the champion, is coming up, his name [is] Goliath the Philistine, from Gath, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he speaks according to those words, and David hears;
Li t'ap pale ak yo konsa, lè Golyat, gwo sòlda Filisti a, moun lavil Gat la, soti nan kan moun Filisti yo, li vin kanpe devan sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo pou mande yo batay jan l' te konn fè l' anvan an. David tande sa Golyat t'ap di.
24 and all the men of Israel, when they see the man, flee from his presence, and are greatly afraid.
Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè Golyat parèt yo pran kouri tèlman yo te pè.
25 And the men of Israel say, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? For he is coming up to reproach Israel, and it has been—the man who strikes him, the king enriches him with great riches, and he gives his daughter to him, and makes his father’s house free in Israel.”
Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Gade nonm lan non! Tande jan l'ap mete nou an defi! Si yon moun rive bat nonm sa a, wa a ap fè moun sa a rich, l'ap marye l' ak pitit fi li. Lèfini, l'ap bay tout fanmi l' yo dwa pou yo pa janm bezwen peye ankenn taks nan peyi Izrayèl.
26 And David speaks to the men who are standing by him, saying, “What is done to the man who strikes this Philistine, and has turned aside reproach from Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine that he has reproached the ranks of the living God?”
David mande moun ki te kanpe bò kote l' yo: -Kisa y'a bay moun ki va touye sòlda Filisti a, moun ki va wete pèp Izrayèl la nan gwo wont sa a? Epitou, kisa sòlda Filisti sa a, ki pa moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a, ye menm pou l' mete lame Bondye vivan an an defi vin goumen avè l' la?
27 And the people speak to him according to this word, saying, “Thus it is done to the man who strikes him.”
Mesye yo di l' tou sa y'a fè pou moun ki va touye Golyat la.
28 And Eliab, his eldest brother, hears when he speaks to the men, and the anger of Eliab burns against David, and he says, “Why [is] this—[that] you have come down? And to whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I have known your pride, and the evil of your heart—for you have come down to see the battle.”
Eliyab, pi gran nan frè David yo, te tande l' ap pale ak mesye yo. Li fache sou li, li di l' konsa: -Sa w'ap fè la a? Ki moun k'ap okipe mouton ou yo pou ou nan dezè a? Mwen konnen jan ou lafoura. Ou toujou sou plan! Se batay la ou vin gade.
29 And David says, “What have I done now? Is it not a word?”
David reponn li: -Kisa m' fè, mezanmi! Yon senp ti keksyon m'ap mande moun yo la a wi!
30 And he turns around from him to another, and says according to this word, and the people return him word as the first word.
Li vire bò yon lòt moun, li mande l' menm keksyon an. Chak fwa, moun yo fè l' menm repons la.
31 And the words which David has spoken are heard, and they declare [them] before Saul, and he receives him;
Kèk moun ki te tande sa David t'ap di al rapòte sa bay Sayil ki voye chache l'.
32 and David says to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fall because of him, your servant goes, and has fought with this Philistine.”
David di Sayil: -Monwa, pesonn pa dwe kite sòlda Filisti sa a ap kraponnen yo konsa. Mwen pral goumen avè l'.
33 And Saul says to David, “You are not able to go to this Philistine, to fight with him, for you [are] a youth, and he [has been] a man of war from his youth.”
Sayil di David konsa: -Non, ou pa ka goumen ak sòlda Filisti sa a. Ou twò piti. Nèg sa a se yon sòlda k'ap goumen depi l' jenn gason.
34 And David says to Saul, “Your servant has been a shepherd among the sheep for his father, and the lion has come—and the bear—and has taken away a sheep out of the drove,
David di Sayil: -Monwa, se mwen menm k'ap okipe mouton papa m' yo. Nenpòt lè yon lyon osinon yon lous vin pran yonn nan mouton yo,
35 and I have gone out after him, and struck him, and delivered [it] out of his mouth, and he rises against me, and I have taken hold on his beard, and struck him, and put him to death.
mwen kouri dèyè l', m' atake l', mwen wete mouton an anba grif li. Si lè sa a, lyon an osinon lous la konprann pou l' vire sou mwen, mwen pran l' nan gagann, mwen bat li jouk mwen touye l'.
36 Your servant has struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine has been as one of them, for he has reproached the ranks of the living God.”
Menm jan mwen touye lyon ak lous, se konsa m'a touye sòlda Filisti sa a ki pa moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a. M'ap touye l' paske li mete lame Bondye vivan an an defi vin goumen avè l'.
37 And David says, “YHWH, who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He delivers me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul says to David, “Go, and YHWH is with you.”
David di ankò: -Seyè a te delivre m' anba pat lyon yo ak pat lous yo, l'a delivre m' tou anba men sòlda Filisti sa a. Sayil di David: -Bon, ale non! Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' avèk ou!
38 And Saul clothes David with his long robe, and has put a helmet of bronze on his head, and clothes him with a coat of mail.
Sayil pran pwòp rad lagè pa l' yo, li mete sou David. Li mete yon kas fè nan tèt David ak yon rad fèt an plak fè pou pwoteje kò li.
39 And David girded his sword above his long robe, and begins to go, for he has not tried [it]; and David says to Saul, “I am not able to go with these, for I had not tried”; and David turns them aside from off him.
David pase nepe Sayil la nan ren l', anwo rad lagè a. Men, li fè sa pou l' mache, li pa t' kapab, paske li pa t' konn sèvi ak tout bagay sa yo. Li di Sayil konsa: -Mwen pa ka mache ak tout bagay sa yo sou mwen, mwen pa konn sèvi ak yo. Epi David wete tout bagay yo sou li.
40 And he takes his staff in his hand, and chooses five smooth stones for himself from the brook, and puts them in the shepherds’ vessel that he has, even in the leather pouch, and his sling [is] in his hand, and he draws near to the Philistine.
Lèfini, li pran baton l' nan men l', li ranmase senk ti wòch won nan ravin lan, li mete yo nan ralfò li sèvi lè l'ap okipe mouton yo. Apre sa, fistibal li nan men l', li mache sou Golyat.
41 And the Philistine goes on, going and drawing near to David, and the man carrying the buckler [is] before him,
Sòlda Filisti a pran mache sou David tou. Nonm ki t'ap pote plak pwotèj li a t'ap mache devan li. Li t'ap pwoche pi pre David.
42 and the Philistine looks attentively, and sees David, and despises him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.
Lè sòlda Filisti a gade, li wè David pi pre, li tchwipe, epi li vire tèt li sou kote, paske li te wè se yon timoun ak cheve koulè kannèl, ak yon bèl ti figi ki te devan l'.
43 And the Philistine says to David, “Am I a dog that you are coming to me with sticks?” And the Philistine reviles David by his gods,
Sòlda Filisti a di David konsa: -Gen lè se yon chen mwen ye pou se avèk yon baton w'ap mache sou mwen? Epi li pran non bondye l' yo pou madichonnen David.
44 and the Philistine says to David, “Come to me, and I give your flesh to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the field.”
Apre sa, li di ankò: -Mwen pini ou vanse sou mwen pou ou wè si mwen p'ap pran kò ou pou m' bay zwazo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa manje.
45 And David says to the Philistine, “You are coming to me with sword, and with spear, and with buckler, and I am coming to you in the Name of YHWH of Hosts, God of the ranks of Israel, which you have reproached!
David di sòlda Filisti a konsa: -W'ap mache sou mwen avèk nepe, gwo frenn ak ti frenn. Men mwen menm, m'ap mache sou ou nan non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye lame pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm ou te mete an defi vin goumen avè ou.
46 This day YHWH shuts you up into my hand—and I have struck you, and turned aside your head from off you, and given the carcass of the camp of the Philistines this day to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and all the earth knows that God is for Israel!
Jòdi a menm, Seyè a pral lage ou nan men m'. M'ap vide ou atè, m'ap koupe tèt ou. Lèfini, m'ap kite kadav ou ansanm ak kadav sòlda Filisti yo pou zwazo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa manje. Konsa, tout moun nan peyi a va konnen pèp Izrayèl la gen yon Bondye.
47 And all this assembly knows that YHWH does not save by sword and by spear, for the battle [is] YHWH’s, and He has given you into our hand.”
Wi, tout moun ki sanble isit la a va wè Bondye pa bezwen ni nepe ni frenn pou delivre pèp li a. Batay la rele l' pa l'. Se li menm ki pral lage tout moun Filisti yo nan men pèp Izrayèl la.
48 And it has come to pass, that the Philistine has risen, and goes, and draws near to meet David, and David hurries and runs to the rank to meet the Philistine,
Golyat pran mache ankò sou David. David menm t'ap kouri al kontre ak li devan lame yo.
49 and David puts forth his hand into the vessel, and takes a stone from there, and slings, and strikes the Philistine on his forehead, and the stone sinks into his forehead, and he falls on his face to the earth.
Li foure men l' nan ti ralfò li a, li pran yon wòch ladan l', li mete l' nan fistibal la, li vize Golyat. Li frape sòlda Filisti a nan mitan fwon. Wòch la antre nan kalbas tèt sòlda Filisti a. Sòlda Filisti a tonbe fas atè.
50 And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death, and there is no sword in the hand of David,
Se konsa David te bat sòlda Filisti a avèk yon fistibal ak yon wòch. Li vide sòlda Filisti a atè, li touye l'. Li pa t' gen yon bout nepe menm nan men l'.
51 and David runs and stands over the Philistine, and takes his sword, and draws it out of its sheath, and puts him to death, and cuts off his head with it; and the Philistines see that their hero [is] dead, and flee.
David kouri al bò kote sòlda Filisti a, li moute sou li, li rale nepe sòlda Filisti a soti nan djenn li, li touye l', lèfini li koupe tèt li. Lè moun Filisti yo wè bowòm yo a te mouri, yo kouri met deyò.
52 And the men of Israel rise—also Judah—and shout, and pursue the Philistines until you enter the valley, and to the gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in the way of Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron,
Sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo ak mesye peyi Jida yo leve, yo pouse gwo rèl lagè yo a, yo pran kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo jouk devan lavil Gat, jouk devan pòtay Ekwon. Te gen kadav moun Filisti sou tout wout ki mennen lavil Charayim lan jouk lavil Gat ak Ekwon.
53 and the sons of Israel return from burning after the Philistines, and spoil their camps.
Se lè sa a moun pèp Izrayèl yo sispann kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo, yo kase tèt tounen. Yo fè yon gwo piyay nan kan moun Filisti yo.
54 And David takes the head of the Philistine, and brings it to Jerusalem, and he has put his weapons in his own tent.
David pran tèt Golyat, li pote l' lavil Jerizalèm, men li kenbe zam sòlda Filisti a lakay li.
55 And when Saul sees David going out to meet the Philistine, he has said to Abner, head of the host, “Whose son [is] this—the youth, Abner?” And Abner says, “Your soul lives, O king, I have not known.”
Lè Sayil wè David t'ap mache al kontre ak sòlda Filisti a, li mande Abnè, kòmandan lame li a: -Abnè, pitit ki moun jenn gason sa a ye? Abnè reponn li: -Monwa, mwen fè sèman, menm jan ou vivan an, mwen pa konnen l'.
56 And the king says, “Ask whose son this [is]—the young man.”
Wa a di li: -Al chache konnen pitit ki moun li ye.
57 And when David turns back from striking the Philistine, then Abner takes him and brings him in before Saul, and the head of the Philistine [is] in his hand;
Apre David fin touye sòlda Filisti a, li tounen nan kan moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Abnè pran l', li mennen l' devan Sayil. David te kenbe tèt sòlda Filisti a nan men l' toujou.
58 and Saul says to him, “Whose son [are] you, O youth?” And David says, “Son of your servant Jesse, the Beth-Lehemite.”
Sayil mande l': -Ti gason, pitit ki moun ou ye hen! David reponn: -Mwen se pitit moun pa ou la, Izayi, moun lavil Betleyèm.
