< 1 Samuel 22 >
1 And David goes from there, and escapes to the cave of Adullam, and his brothers hear, and all the house of his father, and they go down to him there;
David kite lavil Gat, li sove, l' al kache nan yon gwòt toupre lavil Adoulam. Lè frè l' yo ak rès fanmi li vin konn sa, yo tout desann al jwenn li la.
2 and every man in distress gathers themselves to him, and every man who has an exactor, and every man bitter in soul, and he is for head over them, and there are about four hundred men with him.
Lè sa a, tout moun ki te gen pwoblèm, tout moun ki te dwe lajan, tout moun ki pa t' kontan sitiyasyon an vin jwenn li. David vin chèf yo. Te gen katsan (400) gason konsa antou.
3 And David goes from there to Mizpeh of Moab and says to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God does for me”;
David kite kote l' te ye a, l' ale lavil Mispa nan peyi Moab. Epi li di wa Moab la: -Tanpri, kite papa m' ak manman m' vin rete isit la lakay ou, jouk mwen rive konnen sa Bondye vle fè avè m'.
4 and he leads them before the king of Moab, and they dwell with him all the days of David’s being in the fortress.
Se konsa David mennen papa l' ak manman l' lakay wa Moab la. Yo rete la pandan tout tan David te rete kache nan gwòt la.
5 And the prophet Gad says to David, “You do not abide in a fortress, go, and you have entered the land of Judah for yourself”; and David goes and enters the forest of Hareth.
Yon pwofèt yo rele Gad vin di David: -Piga ou rete nan gwòt la. Pati koulye a. Ale nan peyi Jida! David pati vre, l' al nan rakbwa Erèt la.
6 And Saul hears that David has become known, and the men who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his servants [are] standing by him.
Sayil menm te lavil Gibeya, chita anba pye tonmaren ki sou mòn lan, avèk frenn li nan men l'. Tout chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo te kanpe la bò kote l'. Li te pran nouvèl moun te vin konnen kote David ak mesye l' yo te ye.
7 And Saul says to his servants who are standing by him, “Now hear, sons of Benjamin; does the son of Jesse also give fields and vineyards to all of you? Does he appoint all of you [to be] heads of thousands and heads of hundreds?
Epi Sayil di chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo: -Nou menm fanmi Benjamen yo, koute! Eske nou mete nan lide nou David, pitit gason Izayi a, pral ban nou jaden ak pye rezen tou? Eske l'ap fè nou kaptenn ak chèf nan lame li a?
8 For all of you have conspired against me, and there is none uncovering my ear about my son’s cutting [a covenant] with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and uncovering my ear, that my son has raised up my servant against me, to lie in wait as [at] this day.”
Se poutèt sa nou tout n'ap fè konplo sou mwen. Nou yonn pa di m' pwòp pitit gason m' lan te koupe kontra ak David, pitit gason Izayi a? Pa gen yonn nan nou ki pran lapenn pou mwen. Pesonn pa vin di m' pitit gason mwen an ap moute tèt David sou do mwen, yon moun ki t'ap sèvi avè m', epi ki koulye a ap chache mwayen pou li touye m'.
9 And Doeg the Edomite answers, who is set over the servants of Saul, and says, “I have seen the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub,
Doèg, moun peyi Edon an ki te chèf tout moun k'ap travay ak Sayil yo, di l' konsa: -Mwen te wè David, pitit gason Izayi a lè li t' ale lavil Nòb, lakay Akimelèk, pitit gason Akitoub la.
10 and he inquires of YHWH for him, and has given provision to him, and has given the sword of Goliath the Philistine to him.”
Akimelèk te pale ak Seyè a pou David. Apre sa, li bay David kèk pwovizyon ansanm ak nepe Golyat, sòlda Filisti a.
11 And the king sends to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are] in Nob, and all of them come to the king;
Se konsa, wa a voye rele Akimelèk, prèt la, pitit gason Akitoub la, ansanm ak tout fanmi l' yo ki te prèt tou nan lavil Nòb. Yo tout moute kay wa a.
12 and Saul says, “Now hear, son of Ahitub”; and he says, “Here I [am], my lord.”
Sayil di Akimelèk: -W'ap tande m', pitit gason Akitoub la? Akimelèk reponn li: -M'ap tande ou wi, monwa!
13 And Saul says to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, by your giving bread and a sword to him, and to inquire of God for him, to rise against me, to lie in wait, as [at] this day?”
Sayil mande l': -Poukisa ou mete tèt ou ansanm ak David, pitit gason Izayi a, pou nou fè konplo sou mwen? Poukisa ou ba li pwovizyon ansanm ak yon nepe? Poukisa ou pale ak Seyè a pou li? Koulye a, men li leve dèyè m', l'ap chache okazyon pou li touye m'.
14 And Ahimelech answers the king and says, “And who among all your servants [is] as David—faithful, and son-in-law of the king, and has turned aside to your council, and is honored in your house?
Akimelèk reponn li: -Nan tout moun k'ap sèvi avè ou yo, pa gen yonn ki renmen ou tankou David. Se bofi ou li ye, li fè pati gad kò ou yo. Tout moun lakay ou respekte l'.
15 Today have I begun to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.”
Se pa jòdi a premye fwa mwen pale ak Seyè a pou li, mande Bondye padon. Monwa, ou pa bezwen akize ni mwen ni pesonn nan fanmi m' n'ap fè konplo sou ou. Mwen pa konn anyen sou koze sa a, monwa!
16 And the king says, “You surely die, Ahimelech, you and all the house of your father.”
Wa a di l' konsa: -Akimelèk, yo pral touye ou, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou yo.
17 And the king says to the runners, those standing by him, “Turn around, and put the priests of YHWH to death, because their hand [is] also with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered my ear”; and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of YHWH.
Lèfini, li di gad ki te kanpe bò kote l' yo: -Touye prèt Seyè yo. Yo menm tou y'ap fè konplo ak David la. Yo te konnen byen pwòp se sove msye t'ap sove, yo pa di m' anyen. Men gad yo refize leve men yo sou prèt Seyè a pou touye yo.
18 And the king says to Doeg, “Turn around, and come against the priests”; and Doeg the Edomite turns around, and comes against the priests himself, and in that day puts to death eighty-five men bearing a linen ephod,
Lè sa a, Sayil di Doèg: -Ou menm, touye prèt yo: Epi Doèg touye yo tout. Jou sa a, li touye katrevensenk prèt Seyè a.
19 and Nob, the city of the priests, he has struck by the mouth of the sword, from man and to woman, from infant and to suckling, and ox, and donkey, and sheep, by the mouth of the sword.
Sayil fè touye tout moun ki te rete nan Nòb, lavil prèt yo: fanm kou gason, timoun, ti bebe nan tete, ansanm ak bèf, bourik, ak mouton. Yo touye tout.
20 And one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, escapes, and his name [is] Abiathar, and he flees after David,
Sèl Abyata, yonn nan pitit gason Akimelèk yo, te resi chape kò l'. Li kouri l' al jwenn David.
21 and Abiathar declares to David that Saul has slain the priests of YHWH.
Li rakonte David ki jan Sayil te masakre tout prèt Seyè yo.
22 And David says to Abiathar, “I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he certainly declares [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] around to every person of the house of your father;
David di l' konsa: -Depi mwen te wè Doèg, nèg peyi Edon an, la, mwen te konnen li pa t'ap pa di Sayil sa. Se mwen menm ki reskonsab lanmò tout fanmi ou yo.
23 dwell with me; do not fear; for he who seeks my life seeks your life; for you [are my] charge with me.”
Ou mèt rete avè m'. Ou pa bezwen pè. Koulye a Sayil pral chache touye ni ou ni mwen. Bò kote m', anyen p'ap rive ou.
