1 Samuel 25
1 Samuel died; and all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
Samyèl mouri, tout pèp Izrayèl la sanble pou yo kriye lanmò li. Lèfini, yo antere l' anndan lakay li lavil Rama. Apre sa, David pati, li desann nan dezè Paran an.
2 There was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Te gen yon nonm moun lavil Maon ki te gen bitasyon l' lavil Kamèl. Nonm lan te rich anpil: li te gen twamil (3.000) tèt mouton ak mil (1000) tèt kabrit. Lè sa a, msye te lavil Kamèl pou fè taye lenn mouton l' yo.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail. And the woman was intelligent and beautiful, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings; and the man was a Calebite.
Msye te rele Nabal, madanm li te rele Abigayèl. Se te yon fanm ki te gen anpil lespri, lèfini li te bèl. Men, mari a te gen move jan, li pa t' konn boule byen ak moun menm. Se te fanmi moun Kalèb yo.
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Antan David nan dezè a, li vin konnen Nabal t'ap taye lenn mouton l' yo.
5 So David sent ten young men, and said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
Li voye dis jenn gason bò kote l'. Li di yo konsa: -Moute lavil Kamèl, ale lakay Nabal, n'a di l' mwen voye bonjou pou li.
6 Thus you are to say to my brother, 'Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
Men sa n'a di l': David, frè ou, voye bonjou pou ou ak pou tout moun lakay ou. Li swete tout bagay ap mache byen lakay ou.
7 And now, look, I have heard that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us in the wilderness, and we did not hurt them, neither was there anything missing from them, all the while they were in Carmel.
Li tande ou ap taye lenn mouton ou yo. Li voye di ou lè gadò mouton ou yo te avèk nou, nou pa t' janm fè yo anyen. Yo pa janm pèdi anyen pandan tout tan yo te nan zòn Kamèl la.
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes; for we come in a good day. Please give whatever comes to your hand, to your servants, and to your son David.'"
Ou mèt mande yo, y'a di ou. David voye mande ou pou resevwa mesye pa l' yo byen, paske se yon jou fèt nou rive isit la. Tanpri, mèt! Bay sa ou genyen pou nou k'ap sèvi ou, ak pou David, zanmi ou lan.
9 So the young men came and spoke to Nabal according to all those words on David's behalf, but he behaved arrogantly.
Mesye David yo rive vre, yo bay Nabal komisyon an nan non David. Epi yo rete tann.
10 Nabal answered David's servants, and said, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.
Apre yon ti tan, Nabal reponn yo: -David? Pitit gason Izayi a? Mwen pa konnen l' non. Atò, koulye peyi a plen yon bann domestik ki sove kite lakay mèt yo.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my wine, and my meat that I have slaughtered for the shearers of my sheep, and give it to men who I do not know where they come from?"
Anhan! Pou m' pran pen ak dlo lakay mwen ak vyann bèt nou fè touye pou gadò mouton m' yo, pou m' bay yon bann moun mwen pa konnen kote yo soti?
12 So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.
Mesye yo tounen al jwenn David. Lè yo rive, yo rapòte ba li tou sa Nabal te di.
13 David said to his men, "Every man put on his sword." So every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David; and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
David di yo: -Pran nepe nou, pase yo nan ren nou. Yo tout pase nepe yo nan ren yo. David tou. Lèfini, katsan (400) nan mesye yo ale avèk David. Lòt desan yo (200) rete dèyè ak pwovizyon yo.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Look, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; and he railed at them.
Yonn nan domestik Nabal yo al avèti Abigayèl, madanm Nabal, li di l': -David te voye kèk mesaje soti nan dezè a avèk bèl bonjou pou mèt nou an. Men li menm, li pale mal ak yo.
15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.
Men, mesye sa yo te bon pou nou: Yo pa t' janm chache nou kont. Nou pa t' janm pèdi anyen pandan tout tan nou te la ansanm ak yo nan savann lan.
16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Yo te pwoteje nou lajounen kou lannwit pandan tout tan nou te la nan mitan yo ap pran swen bann mouton nou yo.
17 Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can't speak to him."
Koulye a, kalkile byen sa ou wè ou ka fè, paske bagay la ka vire mal ni pou mèt nou ni pou tout fanmi l'. Mari ou sitèlman gen move jan, moun pa ka pale ak li.
18 Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
Abigayèl prese pran desan (200) pen, de gwo veso an po bèt plen diven, senk mouton tou kwit, de barik grenn griye, san mamit rezen chèch, desan (200) gato fèt ak figfrans chèch, li chaje tou sa sou bourik.
19 She said to her young men, "Go on before me. Look, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband.
Lèfini, li di domestik li yo: -Nou mèt pran devan, mwen menm mwen dèyè. Men li pa di Nabal, mari l' anyen.
20 It was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that look, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
Abigayèl te moute sou yon bourik. Li t'ap desann yon ti mòn lè li rive nan yon koub, li tonbe bab pou bab ak David ki t'ap mache sou li ansanm ak mesye l' yo. Yo kontre.
21 Now David had said, "Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him. He has returned me evil for good.
David t'ap di nan kè li: -Sa m' te bezwen pwoteje tou sa nonm sa a te genyen nan dezè a fè? Li pa janm pèdi anyen nan sa ki te pou li. Epi se konsa l'ap peye m' pou tout byen mwen fè pou li yo?
22 God do so to David, and more also, if I leave of all that belongs to him by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall."
Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si anvan denmen maten mwen pa touye dènye moun lakay li, granmoun kou timoun.
23 When Abigail saw David, she hurried, and got off from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground at his feet.
Wè Abigayèl wè David, li kouri desann bourik li a, li lage kò l' ajenou devan David, li bese tèt li jouk atè.
24 And she said, "On me, my lord, be the guilt; and please let your servant speak to you directly, and hear the words of your servant.
Apre sa, li lage kò l' nan pye David, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, chèf mwen, ban m' pèmisyon pale avè ou. Tout fòt la se pou mwen. Koute sa m'ap di ou.
25 Please do not let my lord regard this worthless fellow, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom you sent.
Tanpri, pa okipe nonm yo rele Nabal la. Se yon vòryen. Se pa pou gremesi yo rele l' Nabal ki vle di moun fou. Mwen menm, mèt, mwen pa t' wè mesye ou te voye yo.
26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
Se Seyè a menm ki anpeche ou mete san deyò pou pran revanj ou. Koulye a, mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a ak devan ou menm, mèt mwen, se pou tout lènmi ou yo, tout moun ki ta vle fè ou mal, fini tankou Nabal.
27 Now this present which your servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
Koulye a, mèt mwen, men sa mwen pote fè ou kado pou ou bay moun k'ap mache avè ou yo.
28 Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD; and evil shall not be found in you all your days.
Tanpri, mèt, padonnen sa mwen fè ki mal. Seyè a va ba ou yon fanmi ki p'ap janm disparèt, paske batay w'ap mennen yo se batay Seyè a yo ye. Ou p'ap janm fè anyen ki mal nan tout lavi ou.
29 Though men may rise up to pursue you, and to seek your soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God. He will sling out the souls of your enemies, as from the hollow of a sling.
Si yon moun konprann pou li atake ou, si l'ap chache touye ou, Seyè a, Bondye ou la, va pwoteje ou. L'a sere ou bò kote l' tankou lè yon moun ap sere yon bagay li renmen anpil. Men l'ap pran lènmi ou yo, l'ap voye yo jete byen lwen tankou lè yon moun ap voye wòch nan fistibal.
30 It shall come to pass, when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you, and shall have appointed you prince over Israel,
Konsa, lè Seyè a va fè pou ou tout bèl bagay li te pwomèt ou yo, lè l'a mete ou chèf sou pèp Izrayèl la,
31 that this will have no cause of grief or a troubled conscience for my lord, that blood was shed without cause and that my lord has gained victory by his own hand. And when the LORD has done well with my lord, then remember your servant."
wi, lè sa a, mèt mwen, ou p'ap bezwen nan règrèt, ni konsyans ou p'ap boulvèse deske ou te mete san moun deyò san rezon osinon deske ou te pran revanj ou sou moun. Lè Seyè a va beni ou, tanpri pa bliye m'.
32 David said to Abigail, "Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.
David di Abigayèl konsa: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki voye ou jòdi a vin kontre avè m'!
33 Blessed is your discretion, and blessed are you, that have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
Kite m' di Bondye mèsi pou bon konprann ou genyen an, pou ou menm tou deske jòdi a ou vin kenbe men m' pou m' pa mete san moun deyò, pou m' pa tire revanj mwen mwen menm.
34 For indeed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn't have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall."
Seyè a pa kite m' fè ou anyen. Men tou, si ou pa t' prese vin kontre avè m', mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, anvan denmen maten tout gason fanmi Nabal yo, ata ti gason piti yo, t'ap pèdi lavi yo.
35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him: and he said to her, "Go up in peace to your house. Look, I have listened to your voice, and have granted your request."
Abigayèl renmèt David tou sa li te pote, epi David di l': -Tounen lakay ou ak kè poze! Mwen koute tou sa ou di m' la a. Ou pa bezwen bat kò ou.
36 Abigail came to Nabal; and look, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
Abigayèl tounen al jwenn Nabal lakay li. Nabal t'ap fè yon gwo resepsyon, parèy ak resepsyon wa yo konn fè. Nabal te sou anpil, kè l' te kontan. Madanm lan pa di l' anyen jouk nan denmen maten.
37 It happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Nan maten, lè Nabal fin desoule, madanm li rakonte l' tout bagay. Msye fè yon kriz kè, li vin paralize nan tout kò l'.
38 It happened about ten days after, that the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
Dis jou apre sa, Seyè a frape Nabal, Nabal mouri.
39 And David heard, and he said, "Blessed is the LORD, who has taken my side in the matter of Nabal's insult, and has kept back his servant from evil. The LORD has returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head." David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him as wife.
Lè David vin konnen Nabal mouri, li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Li fè Nabal peye wont li te fè m' lan, li kenbe men m' pou m' pa fè sa ki mal. Seyè a fè mechanste Nabal la tonbe sou pwòp tèt li. Apre sa a David voye di Abigayèl li ta renmen l' pou madanm.
40 When the servants of David had come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, "David has sent us to you, to take you to be his wife."
Moun David yo al jwenn Abigayèl lavil Kamèl. Yo pale avè l', yo di l' konsa: -David voye nou bò kote ou pou nou mennen ou ba li pou l' sa marye avè ou.
41 She got up and bowed herself with her face to the ground, and said, "Look, your servant is a lowly servant to wash the feet of your servants."
Abigayèl leve, li lage kò l' ajenou, li bese tèt li atè epi li di: -Se domestik li mwen ye, mwen tou pare pou m' lave pye moun pa l' yo.
42 Then Abigail got up quickly and rode on a donkey, and with five female servants following her; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.
Abigayèl leve byen vit, li moute bourik li. Li pran senk jenn fi ki t'ap sèvi avè l' lakay li. Li pati ak mesaje David yo. Se konsa li vin madanm David.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
David te deja marye ak Akinoam, moun lavil Jizreyèl. Li vin pran Abigayèl koulye a, sa te fè l' de madanm.
44 Now Saul had given Mikal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Sayil menm bò pa l' te pran Mikal, pitit fi li a ki te madanm David, li marye l' ak Palti, pitit gason Layis, moun lavil Galim.
