1 Samuel 18
1 And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè li te fin pale avèk Saül, ke nanm Jonathan te vin atache a nanm David, e Jonathan te renmen li tankou pwòp tèt li.
2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
Saül te pran li nèt nan jou sa a e pa t kite li retounen lakay papa l.
3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
Epi Jonathan te fè yon akò avèk David akoz li te renmen li tankou pwòp tèt li.
4 and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Jonathan te retire manto ki te sou li a e te bay David li, ansanm avèk pwotèj li, menm ak nepe li, banza li, avèk sentiwon li.
5 And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
Konsa, David te ale nan nenpòt kote Saül te voye li a, e te byen reyisi. Epi Saül te mete li chèf sou tout mesye lagè yo. Li te fè kè kontan nan zye a tout pèp la, e anplis, nan zye a sèvitè Saül yo.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
Li te vin rive ke pandan yo t ap vini, lè David te retounen soti touye Filisten an, ke fanm yo te sòti nan tout vil an Israël yo. Yo t ap chante ak danse pou rankontre Wa Saül, avèk tanbouren, kè kontan ak enstriman mizik.
7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
Fanm yo te chante pandan yo t ap jwe. Yo t ap di: “Saül te touye dè milye pa li menm e David dè di-milye pa li menm.”
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
Alò, Saül te vin byen fache, paske pawòl sa a te fè l pa kontan. Li te di: “Yo te bay David dè di-milye; men a mwen menm, yo te bay dè milye. Alò kisa anplis li kapab genyen, sof ke wayòm nan?”
9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
Depi nan jou sa a, Saül te veye David de prè.
10 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
Nan jou aprè a, yon move lespri ki sòti nan Bondye te vini sou Saül avèk pwisans. Li te fè pwofesi nan mitan kay la. David, kòm abitid li jou an jou, t ap jwe ap la avèk men li. Saul te gen yon lans nan men l.
11 and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
Li te voye lans lan, paske li t ap di: “Mwen va kloure David sou mi an.” David te chape nan prezans li menm de fwa.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
Alò Saül te pè David, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li; men Li te fin kite Saül.
13 and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
Pou sa Saül te retire David devan prezans li. Li te apwente li kòm kòmandan a yon mil lòm. Konsa li te sòti e antre devan pèp la.
14 And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
David t ap reyisi nan tout chemen li yo, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li.
15 and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Lè Saül te wè ke li te byen reyisi konsa, li te vin gen gwo perèz li.
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
Men tout Israël avèk Juda te renmen li nèt e li te sòti e antre devan yo.
17 And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Alò, Saül te di a David: “Men pi gran fi mwen an, Mérab. Mwen va ba ou li kòm madanm. Sèlman, rete vanyan pou mwen e mennen batay pou SENYÈ a.” Paske Saül t ap di a tèt li: “Mwen p ap kapab leve men kont li, men kite men Filisten yo vin kont li.”
18 And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
Men David te di a Saül: “Kilès mwen ye e kisa lavi mwen ye, oswa fanmi a papa m an Israël ye, pou mwen ta devni bofis a wa a?”
19 And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
Konsa, li te vin rive ke nan moman a Mérab, fi a Saül la te dwe bay a David la, li te vin bay a Adriel, Meolayit la, kòm madanm.
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Alò, Mical, pitit a Saül la, te renmen David. Lè yo te pale sa a Saül, bagay la te agreyab a li menm.
21 and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
Saül te di a li menm: “Mwen va ba li fi a pou li kab devni yon pyèj pou li e pou men Filisten yo kapab vin kont li.” Pou sa, Saül te pale David, “Pou yon dezyèm fwa, ou gen dwa devni bofis mwen jodi a.”
22 And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
Alò, Saül te kòmande sèvitè li yo: “Pale avèk David an sekrè e di: ‘Gade byen, wa a trè kontan avèk ou e tout sèvitè li yo renmen ou anpil. Alò, pou sa a, vin bofis a wa a.’”
23 And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
Konsa, sèvitè a Saül yo te pale pawòl sa yo a David. Men David te di: “Èske sa se yon ti bagay pou vin bofis a wa a, akoz mwen menm se yon nonm pòv e san pwa?”
24 And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
Sèvitè a Saül yo te bay rapò a a li menm selon pawòl ke David te pale yo.
25 And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Alò, Saül te di: “Konsa ou va pale David: ‘Wa a pa bezwen okenn kòb kòm dwa maryaj, sof ke yon santèn prepuce yo ki sòti nan Filisten yo, pou egzekite vanjans sou lènmi a wa yo.’” Alò, Saül te fè plan pou fè David tonbe pa men a Filisten yo.
26 And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
Lè sèvitè li yo te pale David pawòl sa yo, sa te fè David kontan pou vini bofis a wa a. Avan jou yo te fini,
27 and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
David ak mesye pa li yo te ale. Yo te frape fè desann de-san lòm pami Filisten yo. Alò, David te mennen prepuce pa yo e yo te bay yo an tout a wa a, pou li ta kapab vin bofis a wa a. Konsa Saül te ba li Mical kòm madanm li.
28 And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
Lè Saül te wè e te konnen ke SENYÈ a te avèk David, e ke Mical, fi a Saül la, te renmen li,
29 and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
li te pè David menm plis. Konsa Saül te lènmi a David ale nèt.
30 And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
Epi kòmandan Filisten yo te sòti pou fè batay. Konsa, li vin rive chak fwa yo sòti, ke David te aji avèk plis sajès ke tout sèvitè a Saül yo. Akoz sa, non li te vin respekte anpil.
