1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle; and they were gathered together at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and camped between Socoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.
Alò, Filisten yo te rasanble lame yo pou batay. Yo te rasanble vè Soco ki pou Juda e yo te fè kan antre Soco avèk Azéka nan Éphés-Dammim.
2 Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and camped in the Valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
Saül avèk mesye Israël yo te rasanble pou fè kan nan vale Ela a e yo te vin rale yo nan lòd batay la pou rankontre Filisten yo.
3 The Philistines stood on the mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
Filisten yo te kanpe sou ti mòn nan e Izrayelit yo sou lòt kote a, avèk vale a antre yo de.
4 There went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six feet eight inches.
Yon chanpyon yo te rele Goliath ki te sòti nan Gath, te soti nan kan Filisten yo. Wotè li te sis koude plis yon epann (anviwon nèf pye uit pous).
5 And he had a helmet on his head, and wore bronze scale-armor. And the weight of the bronze armor was five thousand shekels.
Li te mete yon kas an bwonz sou tèt li. Li te abiye avèk pwotèj an kal ki te peze senk-mil sik an bwonz.
6 And he had bronze armor on his shins, and a bronze javelin was slung over his shoulders.
Anplis, li te genyen pwotèj an bwonz sou janm li avèk yon lans an bwonz ki te pann antre zepòl li.
7 Now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and its blade weighed six hundred iron shekels, and his shield bearer went in front of him.
Manch a lans lan te tankou travès nan yon aparèy fè twal. Lans li an te peze sis san sik (anviwon 18 liv) an fè. Potè pwotèj li a osi te mache devan li.
8 He stood and shouted to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to set your battle in array? Am I not a Philistine, and you servants to Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.
Li te kanpe e li te rele fò vè lame alinye Israël la, e li te di yo: “Poukisa nou vin alinye pou batay la? Èske mwen menm se pa yon Filisten e nou menm sèvitè a Saül? Chwazi yon mesye pou kont nou e kite li parèt kote mwen.
9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you will be our servants, and serve us."
Si li menm kapab goumen avè m, e touye mwen, alò nou va devni sèvitè pa nou. Men si mwen vin genyen li e touye li, alò, nou va devni sèvitè nou pou sèvi nou.”
10 The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man, that we may fight together."
Ankò, Filisten an te di: “Mwen defye tout ranje lame Israël la nan jou sila a! Ban m yon nonm pou nou kab goumen ansanm!”
11 When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
Lè Saül avèk tout Israël te tande pawòl a Filisten an, yo te sezi e pè anpil.
12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. And in the days of Saul the man was old and advanced in years.
Alò, David te fis a Efratit a Bethléhem nan Juda ki te rele Jesse, ki te genyen uit fis. Epi Jesse te vin granmoun, nan jou Saül yo, byen avanse nan laj pami lèzòm.
13 The three eldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his sons who went to the battle were Eliab, the firstborn, and Abinadab, the second, and Shimeah, the third.
Twa lòt fis a Jesse yo te swiv Saül nan batay la. Epi non a twa fis li yo ki te ale nan batay la se te Éliab, premye ne a, Abinadab, dezyèm ne a ak Schamma, twazyèm ne a.
14 David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.
David se te pi piti a. Alò, twa ki te pi gran yo te swiv Saül.
15 Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
Men David te fè ale retou soti nan Saül pou okipe bann mouton papa li nan Bethléhem.
16 The Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
Filisten an te parèt ni nan maten ni nan aswè pandan karant jou e li te fè kanpe li.
17 Then Jesse said to David, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp and give them to your brothers;
Alò, Jesse te di a David, fis li a: “Pran koulye a pou frè ou yo yon efa nan sereyal boukannen an, e kouri ale nan kan pa yo a.
18 and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."
Mennen ankò dis fwomaj sila yo bay kòmandan a milye pa yo, e tyeke si sa ale byen avèk frè ou yo e retounen avèk nouvèl pa yo.
19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
Paske Saül avèk tout lame Israël la nan vale Ela a, nan goumen avèk Filisten yo.”
20 So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the perimeter of the camp as the army was marching out to its battle formation and shouting the war cry.
Alò, David te leve bonè nan maten e li te kite bann mouton an avèk yon jeran. Li te pran bagay yo e li te ale jan Jesse te kòmande li a. Epi li te antre nan kote kan an pandan lame a t ap sòti nan lòd batay la e li t ap koute kri gè a.
21 And Israel and the Philistines lined up in battle formation, army against army.
Israël avèk Filisten yo te vin parèt nan chan batay yo, lame kont lame.
22 And David left his supplies in the care of the attendant, and ran to the army and came and greeted his brothers.
Alò, David te kite sa l pote sou kont yon jeran, li te kouri vè chan batay la e li te antre pou l ta kapab salye frè li yo.
23 As he talked with them, look, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and spoke according to the same words: and David heard them.
Pandan li t ap pale avèk yo, veye byen, ewo Filisten an ki sòti nan Gat ki te rele Goliath la, t ap monte soti nan lame a Filisten yo. Li te repete menm pawòl sa yo, e David te tande.
24 All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.
Lè tout mesye Israël yo te wè nonm nan, yo te kouri kite li e yo te vin pè anpil.
25 The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. It shall be, that the man who kills him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house exempt in Israel."
Mesye Israël yo te di: “Èske ou te wè nonm sa a ki ap vin monte a? Anverite, li ap vin monte pou jete defi devan Israël. Epi li va rive ke wa a va fè moun ki touye li a rich avèk gran richès. Epi li va ba li fi li, e li va fè lakay papa li lib an Israël.”
26 David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away this disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"
Epi David te pale a mesye ki te kanpe akote li yo e te di: “Kisa k ap fèt pou moun ki touye Filisten sila a e ki retire wont lan soti sou Israël? Paske se ki moun Filisten ensikonsi sila a ye pou l ta ensilte lame a Bondye vivan an?”
27 The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."
Pèp la, selon pawòl sila a, te reponn e te di: “Se konsa li va fèt pou mesye ki touye li a.”
28 Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."
Alò, Éliab, pi gran frè li a te tande lè li te pale ak mesye yo. Epi kòlè Éliab te brile kont David. Li te di: “Poukisa ou te desann isit la? Epi avèk kilès ou te kite ti kras grenn mouton ou yo nan dezè a? Mwen konprann ògèy ou ak mechanste ki nan kè ou; paske ou te vin desann pou ou kab wè batay la.”
29 David said, "What have I now done? Is there not a cause?"
Men David te di: “Kisa mwen te fè koulye a? Se pa sèlman ke m poze yon kesyon?”
30 Then he turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way, and they gave him an answer as before.
Epi li te vire kite li e te mande yon lòt menm bagay la. Konsa, pèp la te reponn menm bagay kòm avan an.
31 When the words that David spoke were overheard, they repeated them before Saul; and he sent for him.
Lè pawòl David te pale yo, te tande, yo te pale avèk Saül, e li te voye chache li.
32 David said to Saul, "Let not my lord's heart fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine."
David te di a Saül: “Pa kite moun pèdi kouraj sou kont a li. Sèvitè ou a va ale batay avèk Filisten sila a.”
33 Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."
Epi Saül te di a David: “Ou pa kapab ale kont Filisten sila a. Ou pa plis ke yon jennonm e li menm, li te yon gèrye depi li te jenn.”
34 David said to Saul, "Your servant was keeping his father's sheep; and when a lion or a bear came, and took a lamb out of the flock,
Men David te di Saül: “Sèvitè ou a t ap okipe mouton papa l. Lè yon lyon, oswa yon lous te vin pran yon jenn mouton nan bann mouton an,
35 I went out after him, and struck him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and struck him, and killed him.
mwen te sòti dèyè li, mwen te atake li, mwen te fè l chape soti nan bouch li; epi lè l te leve kont mwen, mwen te sezi li pa bab li e te touye li.
36 Your servant struck both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them. Should I not go and smite him, and remove this day a disgrace from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised one, since he has defied the armies of the living God?
Sèvitè ou an gen tan touye ni lyon ni lous. Epi Filisten ensikonsi sila a va tankou youn nan yo, akoz li te meprize lame Bondye vivan an.”
37 The LORD who delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go; and the LORD shall be with you."
Epi David te di: “SENYÈ a ki te delivre mwen soti nan pat lyon ak nan pat lous yo, Li va delivre mwen soti nan men a Filisten sila a.” Konsa, Saül te di a David, “Ale e ke SENYÈ a kapab avèk ou.”
38 And he dressed David in a uniform with a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with a coat of armor.
Saül te abiye David avèk vètman pa li yo, li te mete yon kas an bwonz sou tèt li, e li te abiye li avèk pwotèj.
39 And David strapped on his sword over his uniform, and after he had tried once or twice to walk, then David said to Saul, "I can't walk with these, for I am not used to them." So they took them off him.
David te mete nepe a sou tout pwotèj yo, li te eseye mache, paske li potko fè anyen avèk yo. Alò David te di a Saül: “Mwen pa kapab ale avèk sila yo, paske m pa abitye ak yo.” Epi David te retire yo.
40 Then he took his staff in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the wadi, and put them in the shepherd's bag, in the pouch. And his sling was in his hand, and he approached the Philistine.
Li te pran baton li nan men l e li te chwazi pou kont li senk wòch ravin byen poli, e te mete yo nan ti makout bèje ke li te genyen an. Fistibal li te nan men li. Konsa li te pwoche Filisten sa a.
41 So the Philistine moved forward and came near to David, and his shield-bearer was in front of him.
Alò, Filisten an te kontinye vin pwoche David avèk potè zam nan devan l.
42 When the Philistine looked and saw David, he despised him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and handsome in appearance.
Lè Filisten an te gade wè David, li te meprize li, paske li te sèlman yon jennonm figi wouj, avèk yon bèl aparans.
43 The Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with a stick and stones?" And David said, "No, worse than a dog." And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Filisten an te di a David: “Èske mwen se yon chen pou ou ta vin kote mwen avèk bout bwa?” Epi Filisten an te anmède David pa dye pa li yo.
44 The Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the field."
Filisten an te di a David osi: “Vin kote mwen e mwen va bay chè ou a a zwazo syèl yo avèk bèt chan yo.”
45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Alò, David te di a Filisten an: “Ou vin kote mwen avèk yon nepe avèk yon frenn, avèk yon lans; men, mwen vin kote ou nan non a SENYÈ dèzame a, Bondye a lame Israël yo, ke ou sot vekse a.
46 Today, the LORD will deliver you into my hand; and I will strike you, and take your head from off you. And I will give your corpse and the corpses of the Philistine army this very day to the birds of the air, and to the wild animals of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
Nan jou sa a menm, SENYÈ a va livre ou nan menm m. Mwen va frape ou desann, e koupe tèt ou. Epi mwen va bay kadav a lame Filisten yo, nan jou sa a, a zwazo syèl yo, e a bèt sovaj latè a, pou tout latè a kab konnen ke gen yon Bondye an Israël,
47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD doesn't save with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hand."
epi pou tout asanble sila a kapab konnen ke SENYÈ a pa konn delivre pa nepe, ni pa frenn; paske batay la se pou SENYÈ a e Li va livre ou nan men nou.”
48 It happened, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
Epi li te rive ke lè Filisten an te leve vini pou te parèt toupre David, ke David te kouri vit vè chan batay la pou rankontre Filisten an.
49 David put his hand in his bag, took a stone, and slung it, and struck the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
David te mete men l nan sak li, li te rale ladann yon wòch, li te tire li e li te frape Filisten an sou fwon li. Wòch la te fonse antre nan fwon l, e li te vin tonbe sou figi li atè.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine, and killed him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
Konsa, David te genyen Filisten an avèk yon fistibal ak yon wòch. Li te frape Filisten an e te touye li, men pa t gen nepe nan men David.
51 Then David ran and stood beside him, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
Alò David te kouri kanpe sou Filisten an e te pran pwòp nepe pa li a, li te rale l soti nan fouwo li, li te touye li e te koupe tèt li avè l. Lè Filisten yo te wè ke ewo pa yo a te mouri, yo te sove ale.
52 The men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued them as far as Gath, and to the gates of Ekron. The wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron.
Mesye Israël yo avèk Juda yo te leve kriye fò e te kouri dèyè Filisten yo jis rive nan vale a, e jis nan pòtay Ékron. Epi Filisten mouri yo te kouche tout akote chemen an pou rive Schaaraïm, menm jis nan Gat avèk Ékron.
53 The children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
Fis Israël yo te retounen soti nan lachas Filisten yo e te piyaje tout kan yo.
54 David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent.
Alò, David te pran tèt Filisten an e te mennen li Jérusalem, men li te mete zam Goliath yo nan tant lan.
55 When Saul saw David go out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Whose son is that boy?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I don't know."
Alò, lè Saül te wè David ki t ap sòti kont Filisten an, li te di a Abner, kòmandan lame a: “Abner, se fis a kilès jennonm sa a ye?” Epi Abner te di: “Pa lavi ou, O Wa mwen pa konnen.”
56 The king said, "Inquire whose son that young man is."
Wa a te di: “Mande moun pou konnen fis a kilès jennonm sa a ye.”
57 As David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
Pou sa, lè David te retounen fin touye Filisten an, Abner te pran li e te mennen li devan Saül avèk tèt Filisten an nan men li.
58 Saul said to him, "Whose son are you, young man?" David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite."
Saül te di li: “Se fis a kilès ou ye jennonm?” Epi David te reponn li: “Fis a sèvitè ou, Jesse, Betleyemit lan.”
