1 Samuel 29
1 And the Philistines gather all their camps to Aphek, and Israel is encamping at a fountain which [is] in Jezreel,
Moun Filisti yo sanble tout sòlda yo nèt lavil Afèk. Moun Izrayèl yo menm te moute kan yo bò sous ki nan Fon Jizreyèl la.
2 and the princes of the Philistines are passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men are passing on in the rear with Achish.
Senk chèf moun Filisti yo te pran devan, yo t'ap mache yonn dèyè lòt ak divizyon lame yo. Yo te gen batayon san sòlda ak rejiman mil sòlda. David t'ap mache dèyè nèt avèk mesye l' yo ansanm ak Akich.
3 And the heads of the Philistines say, “What [are] these Hebrews?” And Achish says to the heads of the Philistines, “Is this not David, servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days or these years, and I have not found anything in him [wrong] from the day of his falling away until this day?”
Lòt chèf moun Filisti yo di konsa: -Sa bann ebre sa yo ap fè la a? Akich reponn yo: -Se David, yonn nan mesye ki t'ap sèvi ak Sayil, wa pèp Izrayèl la. Li gen kèk tan depi li avè m'. Depi jou li kite wa pèp Izrayèl la pou li vin jwenn mwen, mwen pa janm jwenn anyen pou m' repwoche l' jouk jounen jòdi a.
4 And the heads of the Philistines are angry against him, and the heads of the Philistines say to him, “Send back the man, and he turns back to his place to where you have appointed him, and does not go down with us into battle, and is not for an adversary to us in battle; and with what does this one reconcile himself to his lord—is it not with the heads of those men?
Men, lòt chèf moun Filisti yo move sou Akich, yo di l' konsa: -Voye nonm sa a ale. Fè l' tounen nan lavil ou te ba li pou l' rete a. Pa kite l' al goumen avèk nou pou pandan batay la li pa vire sou do nou. Sa ka ba l' yon bèl okazyon pou l' touye moun nou yo, epi pou l' byen ankò ak mèt li.
5 Is this not David, of whom they answer in choruses, saying, Saul has struck among his thousands, and David among his myriads?”
Lèfini, fòk nou pa bliye, se David wi. Se pou li medam yo te fè chante sa a lè yo t'ap danse a. Chante a te pati konsa: Sayil desann mil. David desann dimil.
6 And Achish calls to David and says to him, “YHWH lives, surely you [are] upright, and good in my eyes is your going out, and your coming in with me in the camp, for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me until this day; but you are not good in the eyes of the princes;
Akich rele David, li di l' konsa: -Mwen pran Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, ou se yon nèg serye, ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou avè m'. Se ta tout plezi m' pou m' ta toujou wè ou la avè m' nan tout antre soti m' nan batay la. Paske, depi jou ou te vin jwenn mwen an rive jòdi a, mwen pa janm jwenn anyen ou fè ki mal. Men, mesye chèf yo pa fè ou konfyans.
7 and now, return, and go in peace, and you do no evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
Konsa, tounen al lakay ou ak kè poze. Epi, piga ou janm fè anyen ki pa fè yo plezi, tande!
8 And David says to Achish, “But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day that I have been before you until this day—that I do not go in and have fought against the enemies of my lord the king?”
David reponn li: -Men, mèt mwen, kisa m' fè? Depi premye jou mwen prezante lakay ou pou m' sèvi ou rive jòdi a, ou pa janm jwenn anyen mwen fè ki mal. Poukisa ou pa vle mwen vin goumen bò kote ou, monwa, mèt mwen, kont lènmi ou yo?
9 And Achish answers and says to David, “I have known that you [are] good in my eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He does not go up with us into battle;
Akich reponn David: -Ou pa bezwen di m' anyen! Pou mwen, ou bon tankou yon zanj Bondye. Men, sa ou vle m' fè? Lòt chèf yo di ou pa pral avèk nou nan batay la.
10 and now, rise early in the morning—and the servants of your lord who have come with you. When you have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go.”
Koulye a, David, denmen maten, ou pral leve bonè bonè, ansanm ak tout mesye ki te vire do bay Sayil, mèt ou a, pou yo te vin avè ou bò isit la vin jwenn mwen. Kou bajou kase n'a pati al fè wout nou.
11 And David rises early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.
Konsa vre, nan denmen maten, bonè bonè David leve ansanm ak tout mesye l' yo, yo pati, yo tounen nan peyi Filisti a. Lame moun Filisti yo menm pran chemen pou yo ale Jizreyèl.
