1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites come to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself in the height of Hachilah, on the front of the desert?”
Zifyen yo te vin kote Saül nan Guibea. Yo te di l: “Èske David pa kache nan ti mòn Hakila a, devan Jeschimon?”
2 And Saul rises, and goes down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him [are] three thousand men, chosen ones of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Konsa, Saül te leve desann nan dezè Ziph la e te genyen avè l twa-mil òm Israël, byen chwazi pou chache David nan dezè Ziph la.
3 And Saul encamps in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the front of the desert, by the way, and David is abiding in the wilderness, and he sees that Saul has come into the wilderness after him;
Saül te fè kan nan ti mòn Hakila a, ki devan Jeschimon, akote wout la, e David te rete nan dezè a, lè li te wè ke Saül te vini dèyè li nan dezè a.
4 and David sends spies, and knows that Saul has come to Nachon,
Konsa, David te voye espyon yo deyò, e li te konnen san dout ke Saül t ap vini.
5 and David rises, and comes to the place where Saul has encamped, and David sees the place where Saul has lain, and Abner son of Ner, head of his host, and Saul is lying in the path, and the people are encamping around him.
Pou sa, David te leve pou vini nan plas kote Saül te fè kan an. Epi David te wè plas kote Saül te kouche avèk Abner, fis a Ner a, kòmandan lame li a. Saül te kouche nan mitan won kan an e pèp la te fè kan an antoure li.
6 And David answers and says to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who goes down with me to Saul, to the camp?” And Abishai says, “I go down with you.”
Konsa, David te di a Achimélec, Etyen an ak Abischaï, fis a Tseruja a, frè a Joab, e li te di: “Se kilès k ap desann avè m kote Saül nan kan an?” Abischaï te di: “M ap desann avè w.”
7 And David comes—and Abishai—by night to the people, and behold, Saul is lying sleeping in the path, and his spear is pressed into the earth by his pillow, and Abner and the people are lying around him.
Konsa, David avèk Abischaï te pwoche kote pèp la nan lannwit. Epi vwala, Saül te kouche nan dòmi anndan won kan an avèk frenn li kole nan tè kote tèt li. Epi Abner avèk pèp la te kouche antoure li.
8 And Abishai says to David, “God has shut up your enemy into your hand today; and now, please let me strike him with [the] spear, even into the earth, at once—and not repeat [it] to him.”
Alò, Abischaï te di a David: “Jodi a, Bondye gen tan livre lènmi ou an nan men ou. Pou sa, koulye a, kite mwen frape li avèk frenn nan rive jis atè ak yon sèl kou e mwen p ap frape li yon dezyèm fwa.”
9 And David says to Abishai, “Do not destroy him; for who has put forth his hand against the anointed of YHWH and been acquitted?”
Men David te di a Abischaï: “Pa detwi li, paske se kilès ki kab lonje men l kont onksyone a SENYÈ a e rete pa koupab?”
10 And David says, “YHWH lives; except YHWH strikes him, or his day comes that he has died, or he goes down into battle and has been consumed—
Anplis, David te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, asireman, SENYÈ a va frape li, oswa jou li va rive pou li mouri, oswa li va tonbe nan batay e peri.
11 far be it from me, by YHWH, from putting forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH; and now, please take the spear which [is] by his pillow, and the jug of water, and we go away.”
SENYÈ a anpeche ke m ta lonje men m kont onksyone SENYÈ a. Men koulye a, souple, pran frenn ki bò kot tèt li a ak veso dlo a, epi, an ale.”
12 And David takes the spear, and the jug of water by the pillow of Saul, and they go away, and there is none seeing, and there is none knowing, and there is none awaking, for all of them are sleeping, for a deep sleep [from] YHWH has fallen on them.
Konsa, David te pran frenn nan avèk veso dlo a soti kote tèt a Saül e yo te pati. Men pèsòn pa t konnen, ni leve, paske yo tout t ap dòmi, akoz yon fon somèy ki sòti nan SENYÈ a te vin tonbe sou yo.
13 And David passes over to the other side, and stands on the top of the hill far off—great [is] the place between them;
Konsa, David te travèse de lòt kote, e te kanpe sou tèt mòn nan a yon distans avèk yon gran espas antre yo.
14 and David calls to the people, and to Abner son of Ner, saying, “Do you not answer, Abner?” And Abner answers and says, “Who [are] you [who] have called to the king?”
David te rele tout moun yo ak Abner, fis a Ner a. Li te di: “Èske ou p ap reponn, Abner?” Alò, Abner te reponn: “Se kilès ou ye k ap rele wa a?”
15 And David says to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who [is] like you in Israel? But why have you not watched over your lord the king? For one of the people had come in to destroy the king, your lord.
Konsa, David te di a Abner: “Èske ou pa yon gason? Alò, se kilès ki tankou ou an Israël? Kòmsi, poukisa ou pa t veye mèt ou, wa a? Paske yon moun nan pèp la te vini detwi wa a, mèt ou a.
16 This thing which you have done is not good; YHWH lives, but you [are] sons of death, in that you have not watched over your lord, over the anointed of YHWH; and now, see where the king’s spear [is], and the jug of water which [is] by his pillow.”
Bagay ke ou te fè a, pa bon! Jan SENYÈ a viv la, fòk ou mouri! Paske ou pa t veye mèt ou, onksyone a SENYÈ a. Konsa, koulye a, gade kote frenn a wa a ye ak veso dlo ki te kote tèt li a.”
17 And Saul discerns the voice of David and says, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David says, “My voice, my lord, O king!”
Saül te rekonèt vwa a David, e te di: “Èske se vwa ou, fis mwen, David?” David te di: “Se vwa m, mèt mwen, wa a.”
18 And he says, “Why [is] this—my lord is pursuing after his servant? For what have I done, and what evil [is] in my hand?
Anplis li te di: “Alò, poukisa mèt mwen ap kouri dèyè sèvitè li a? Paske kisa mwen te fè? Oswa ki mal ki nan men m?
19 And now, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: if YHWH has moved you against me, let Him accept a present; but if [merely] the sons of men, they [are] cursed before YHWH, for today they have cast me out from being admitted into the inheritance of YHWH, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Alò, pou sa, souple kite mèt mwen, wa a, koute pawòl a sèvitè li yo. Si SENYÈ a te boulvèse ou kont mwen, kite Li aksepte yon ofrann. Men si se lèzòm, modi yo ye devan SENYÈ a. Paske yo te chase mwen sòti jodi a pou fè m pa atache ankò a eritaj SENYÈ a. Yo di: ‘Ale sèvi lòt dye yo.’
20 And now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of YHWH, for the king of Israel has come out to seek one flea, as [one] pursues the partridge in mountains.”
Alò, pou sa, pa kite san mwen tonbe atè lwen prezans SENYÈ a, paske wa Israël la te vin parèt pou chache yon sèl pis, tankou yon moun k ap fè lachas pentad nan mòn yo.”
21 And Saul says, “I have sinned; return, my son David, for I do evil to you no more, because that my soul has been precious in your eyes this day; behold, I have acted foolishly, and err very greatly.”
Alò Saül te di: “Mwen te peche. Retounen, fis mwen, David. Paske mwen p ap fè ou mal ankò, akoz lavi mwen te presye nan zye ou nan jou sa a. Gade, mwen te jwe wòl a yon enbesil e mwen te fè yon gwo erè.”
22 And David answers and says, “Behold, the king’s spear; and let one of the young men pass over, and receive it;
David te reponn: “Gade byen, men frenn a wa a! Alò kite youn nan jennonm yo travèse vin pran l.
23 and YHWH turns each back to his righteousness and his faithfulness, in that YHWH has given you into [my] hand today, and I have not been willing to put forth my hand against the anointed of YHWH,
SENYÈ a va rekonpanse chak moun pou ladwati pa li ak fidelite li; paske SENYÈ a te livre ou nan men m jodi a. Mwen te refize lonje men m kont onksyone a SENYÈ a.
24 and behold, as your soul has been great in my eyes this day, so is my soul great in the eyes of YHWH, and He delivers me out of all distress.”
Gade byen, jan lavi ou te gen gwo valè nan zye m jodi a, konsa ke vi m ta ye nan men SENYÈ a. Ke li ta delivre mwen nan tout twoub.”
25 And Saul says to David, “Blessed [are] you, my son David, also working you work, and also prevailing you prevail.” And David goes on his way, and Saul has turned back to his place.
Epi Saül te di a David: “Beni se ou menm, fis mwen, David. Ou va vin reyisi anpil e ou va vin genyen.” Konsa, David te fè wout li e Saül te retounen nan plas li.
