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.”
Konsa, David te di nan tèt li: “Alò, yon jou mwen va peri nan men Saül. Nanpwen anyen k ap pi bon pou mwen pase pou m chape ale nan peyi Filisten yo. Konsa, Saül va dekouraje nan chache mwen toujou sou tout teritwa Israël la, e mwen va chape nan men li.”
2 And David rises, and passes over, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, to Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;
Konsa, David te leve e te travèse, li menm avèk sis-san òm ki te avè l yo, kote Akisch, fis a Maoc la, wa a Gath la.
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.
Epi David te viv avèk Akisch nan Gath, li menm avèk mesye pa li yo, chak moun avèk tout moun lakay yo. David te avèk de madanm pa li yo, Achinoam Jizreyelit la ak Abigaïl, Kamelit la, vèv a Nabal la.
4 And it is declared to Saul that David has fled to Gath, and he has not added to seek him anymore.
Alò, sa te pale a Saül ke David te sove ale Gath. Konsa, li pa t chache li ankò.
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?”
Alò, David te di a Akisch: “Si koulye a, mwen jwenn favè nan zye ou, kite yo ban mwen yon plas nan youn nan vil andeyò yo, pou m kapab viv la. Paske poukisa sèvitè ou ta viv nan vil wayal la avèk ou?”
6 And Achish gives Ziklag to him in that day, therefore Ziklag has been for the kings of Judah until this day.
Konsa, Akisch te bay li Tsiklag nan jou sa a. Konsa, Tsiklag te devni pou wa Juda yo jis rive jodi a.
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;
Nonb de jou ke David te viv nan peyi a Filisten yo se te 1 nan, kat mwa.
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,
Alò, David avèk mesye pa li yo te monte pou te fè atak sou Gechouryen, Gizyen avèk Amalekit yo; paske se yo menm ki te mèt tè sa a depi nan tan ansyen yo, nan wout soti Schur, menm pou rive nan peyi Égypte la.
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.
David te atake peyi a, e pa t kite yon gason ni yon fanm vivan. Li te pran tout mouton, bèf, bourik, chamo, avèk rad. Apre, li te retounen kote Akisch.
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.”
Alò, Akisch te di: “Se kibò ou te atake jodi a?” Epi David te reponn: “Kont Negev la nan Juda e kont Negev a Kenyen 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.”
David pa t kite yon mesye ni yon fanm vivan pou mennen yo nan Gath. Li te di: “Otreman, yo va pale afè nou, e di: ‘Se konsa David te fè e se konsa li aji pandan tout tan ke li rete nan peyi Filisten yo.’”
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.”
Konsa, Akisch te kwè David, Li te di: “Anverite, li vin fè tèt li rayisab pami pèp Israël pa l la. Konsa, li va sèvitè pa m jis pou tout tan.”
