1 Samuel 27
1 And David says to his heart, “Now I am consumed by the hand of Saul one day; there is nothing better for me than that I diligently escape to the land of the Philistines, and Saul has been despairing of me—of seeking me anymore in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.”
David di nan kè l': -Yon jou konsa Sayil ap touye m'. L'a pi bon pou mwen si m' sove al kache nan peyi Filisti a. Konsa, Sayil va sispann mache chache m' nan tout peyi pèp Izrayèl la. p'ap gen danje pou mwen ankò.
2 And David rises, and passes over, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, to Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;
David leve ansanm ak sisan (600) moun pa l' yo, y' ale kay Akich, pitit gason Maòk la, ki te wa lavil Gat.
3 and David dwells with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each one with his household, [even] David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelitess.
David ak mesye l' yo rete ak Akich lavil Gat ak tout fanmi yo. David te gen de madanm ak li: Akinoam, yon fanm lavil Jizreyèl ak Abigayèl, madan defen Nabal, moun lavil Kamèl.
4 And it is declared to Saul that David has fled to Gath, and he has not added to seek him anymore.
Lè Sayil vin tande David te kouri al kache lavil Gat, li sispann mache chache l' pou mete men sou li.
5 And David says to Achish, “Now if I have found grace in your eyes, they give a place to me in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, indeed, why does your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
David di Akich konsa: -Si ou se zanmi m' vre, ban m' yon ti plas nan yonn nan bouk andeyò yo pou m' rete. Pa gen rezon, monwa, pou m' rete viv ansanm avè ou nan kapital la.
6 And Achish gives Ziklag to him in that day, therefore Ziklag has been for the kings of Judah until this day.
Se konsa, jou sa a, Akich ba li lavil Ziklag. Se poutèt sa, depi jou sa a, lavil Ziklag toujou rete pou wa peyi Jida yo.
7 And the number of the days which David has dwelt in the field of the Philistines [is one year] of days and four months;
David pase ennan kat mwa ap viv nan peyi moun Filisti yo.
8 and David and his men go up, and they push toward the Geshurite, and the Gerizite, and the Amalekite (for they are inhabitants of the land from of old), as you come to Shur and to the land of Egypt,
Tanzantan, David ak mesye l' yo te konn pati al atake moun Jechou yo, moun Jizi yo ak moun Amalèk yo jouk lakay yo. Depi tout tan se pèp sa yo ki te rete nan zòn ki soti depi lavil Telayim, nan direksyon lavil Chou rive jouk peyi Lejip.
9 and David has struck the land, and does not keep alive man and woman, and has taken sheep, and oxen, and donkeys, and camels, and garments, and turns back, and comes to Achish.
Se konsa, David te dechèpiye tout peyi a, li touye fanm kou gason. Li pran mouton moun yo, bèf yo, bourik yo, chamo yo, ata rad yo. Lèfini, li tounen al jwenn Akich.
10 And Achish says, “To where have you pushed today?” And David says, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelite, and to the south of the Kenite.”
Lè Akich mande l': -Ki kote ou t' al demele ou jòdi a? David te kouri reponn li se nan zòn Negèv nan peyi Jida a, osinon nan zòn sid peyi moun Jerakmeyèl yo, ou ankò nan zòn sid teritwa moun Kayen yo.
11 David keeps alive neither man nor woman, to bring in [word] to Gath, saying, “Lest they declare [it] against us, saying, Thus David has done, and thus [is] his custom all the days that he has dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.”
Men David te toujou touye tout moun, fanm kou gason, paske li t'ap di nan kè l' konsa pesonn p'ap ka al di moun lavil Gat yo sa li te fè yo. Se sa David t'ap mache fè pandan tout tan li pase nan peyi Filisti a.
12 And Achish believes in David, saying, “He has made himself utterly abhorred among his people in Israel, and has been for a perpetual servant to me.”
Akich menm te fè David konfyans. Li t'ap di nan kè l': -Msye tèlman fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo rayi l', l'ap blije rete pase tout rès lavi l' ap sèvi m'.
