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.
Samuel te mouri. Konsa, tout Israël te rasanble ansanm pou te kriye pou li, e yo te antere li kote kay li nan Rama. Konsa, David te leve 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 mesye nan Maon ki te fè komès li nan Carmel. Mesye a te byen rich e li te gen twa-mil mouton avèk twa-mil kabrit. Li t ap taye lenn mouton li nan Carmel.
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.
Alò, non mesye a te Nabal e madanm li te rele Abigaïl. Fanm nan te entèlijan e bèl pou wè, men mesye a te di e mechan nan tout afè li yo. Se te yon moun nan ras Caleb.
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
David te tande soti nan dezè a ke Nabal t ap taye lenn mouton li 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.
Alò, David te voye dis jennonm kote l. David te di a jennonm sa yo: “Monte Carmel pou vizite Nabal e salye li nan non mwen.
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.
Epi konsa ou va pale: ‘Ke lavi ou kapab byen long, lapè avèk ou, lapè avèk lakay ou e lapè sou tout sa ou genyen.
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.
Alò, mwen te tande ke ou genyen tay lenn mouton. Alò, bèje ou yo te avèk moun nou yo. Nou pa t ensilte yo, ni yo pa t manke anyen nan tout jou ke yo te pase Carmel yo.
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.'"
Mande jennonm pa ou yo e yo va pale ou. Pou sa, kite jennonm pa m yo jwenn favè nan zye ou. Paske nou vin parèt nan yon jou ke tout moun ap fete. Pou sa, silvouplè, bay nenpòt sa ke nou twouve nan men a sèvitè ou yo, e a fis ou, David.’”
9 So the young men came and spoke to Nabal according to all those words on David's behalf, but he behaved arrogantly.
Lè jennonm a David yo te parèt, yo te pale ak Nabal selon tout pawòl sa yo nan non David; epi yo te 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.
Men Nabal te reponn sèvitè David yo e te di: “Se kilès ki David la? Epi se kilès ki fis a Jesse a? Gen anpil sèvitè nan tan sa yo k ap chape kite 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?"
Alò, se pou sa ke m ta dwe pran pen mwen avèk dlo mwen ak vyann ke m te fin kòche pou ouvriye pa m yo e bay li a mesye ke m pa menm konnen kote yo sòti yo?”
12 So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.
Alò, jennonm a David yo te retounen fè wout yo. Konsa, yo te rive pale David selon tout pawòl sa yo.
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 te di a mesye pa li yo: “Nou chak mete nepe nou nan senti nou.” Konsa, tout moun te mete nepe yo nan senti yo. David osi te mete nepe li nan senti li e anviwon kat-sant òm te monte dèyè David pandan de-san te rete avèk 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.
Men youn nan jennonm yo te pale ak Abigaïl, madanm Nabal la. Li te di: “Gade byen, David te voye mesaje yo soti nan dezè a pou salye mèt nou an e li te betize avèk 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.
Malgre sa, mesye yo te trete nou byen e nou pa t ensilte, ni nou pa t manke anyen tout tan ke nou te avèk yo a, pandan nou te nan chan yo.
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 yon mi pwotèj pou nou ni lannwit ni lajounen, toutotan ke nou te avèk yo pou gade mouton 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."
Alò, pou sa, kalkile byen kisa ou ta dwe fè. Paske se yon konplo mal k ap fèt kont mèt nou an ak kont tout lakay li, e li tèlman se yon sanzave ke pèsòn pa kab pale avè l.”
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.
Alò, Abigaïl te kouri pran de-san mòso pen ak de veso diven, avèk senk mouton deja prepare, senk mezi sereyal boukannen avèk san grap rezen, de-san gato fig etranje e te chaje yo sou bourik yo.
19 She said to her young men, "Go on before me. Look, I come after you." But she did not tell her husband.
Li te pale a jennonm pa li yo: “Ale devan m! Gade byen, m ap swiv nou.” Men li pa t pale mari li, Nabal.
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.
Li te vin rive ke pandan li te toujou ap monte sou bourik li a e t ap desann nan pati mòn ki kache a, gade byen, David avèk mesye pa li yo t ap desann vin jwenn li. Konsa, li te rankontre yo.
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.
Alò, David te di: “Anverite, se an ven ke m t ap veye tout afè ke mesye sa a te genyen nan dezè a, pou l pa manke anyen nan sa ki te pou li yo! Konsa, li te remèt mwen mal pou byen!
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."
Ke Bondye fè sa a lènmi a David yo e menm plis si avan maten rive, si m kite menm yon mal pami tout sa ki pou li yo!”
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.
Lè Abigaïl te wè David, li te kouri desann bourik li, li te tonbe atè devan David e te koube li menm jis 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.
Li te tonbe nan pye li e te di: “Sou mwen sèl, mèt mwen, ke tò sa a vin tonbe. Epi souple, kite sèvant ou an pale avèk ou e koute pawòl a sèvant ou an.
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.
Souple, pa kite mèt mwen okipe mesye sanzave sila a, Nabal, paske jan non li ye a, se konsa li ye. Nabal se non li e foli toujou avèk li. Men mwen, sèvant pa ou a, mwen pa t wè jennonm, mèt mwen, ke 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.
Alò, pou sa, mèt mwen, jan SENYÈ a viv la, akoz SENYÈ a te anpeche ou vèse san e fè vanjans pa w avèk pwòp men ou; alò, kite lènmi ou yo avèk sila ki chache mal kont mèt mwen yo, vin 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.
Alò, kite kado sila ke sèvant ou pote pou mèt mwen an, bay a jennonm ki akonpanye mèt mwen 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.
Souple, padone transgresyon a sèvant ou a. Paske SENYÈ a va vrèman fè pou mèt mwen yon kay k ap dire, akoz mèt mwen ap mennen batay a SENYÈ a, emal p ap twouve bò kote ou pandan tout jou ou yo.
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 ta leve kont ou pou kouri dèyè ou e chache lavi ou, nan lè sa a, lavi ou, mèt mwen va mare nan pakèt ak sila ki viv pou SENYÈ yo, Bondye ou a. Men lavi a lènmi ou yo, Li va lanse deyò tankou wòch k ap sòti nan pòch a yon 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,
Epi lè SENYÈ a fè pou ou, mèt mwen, selon tout bonte ke Li te pale konsènan ou menm e chwazi ou kòm chèf sou Israël,
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."
ke ka sila a p ap koze ni doulè ni kè twouble pou mèt mwen, akoz li te vèse san san koz e ke li te pran vanjans li. Lè SENYÈ a aji byen avèk ou mèt mwen, alò sonje sèvant ou an.”
32 David said to Abigail, "Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.
Alò, David te di a Abigaïl: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te voye ou jou sila a pou rankontre 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.
Beni se sajès ou. Beni se ou menm ki te kenbe m jou sa a pou m pa vèse san, e fè vanjans mwen menm avèk pwòp men m.
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."
Sepandan, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la viv la, ki te anpeche mwen fè ou mal, sof ke ou te parèt vit pou rankontre mwen, anverite, pa t ap gen ki rete pou Nabal nan limyè maten an tankou yon ki fè pipi sou mi la.”
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."
Konsa David te resevwa nan men li sa ke li te pote pou li a. Epi li te di li: “Ale lakay ou anpè. Gade, mwen te koute ou e te bay ou demann pa ou a.”
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.
Alò Abigaïl te vin kote Nabal. Epi vwala, li t ap fè yon fèt lakay li a tankou fèt a yon wa. Kè Nabal te kontan anndan li, paske li te byen sou. Pou koz sa a, Abigaïl pa t di l anyen jis rive nan limyè 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.
Men nan maten, lè diven an te sòti nan Nabal, madanm li te di li bagay sa yo. Konsa kè l te mouri anndan li jiskaske li te vin tankou yon wòch.
38 It happened about ten days after, that the LORD struck Nabal, so that he died.
Anviwon di jou pita, SENYÈ a te frape Nabal e li te 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 te tande ke Nabal te mouri, li te di: “Beni SENYÈ a, ki te plede kòz repwòch mwen nan men Nabal e ki te kenbe sèvitè li a pou l pa fè mal. SENYÈ a anplis, te fè malfezans a Nabal retounen sou pwòp tèt li.” Alò, David te voye ofri Abigaïl pou l ta pran li kòm madanm li.
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."
Lè sèvitè a David yo te parèt kote Abigaïl nan Carmel, yo te pale a li e te di: “David te voye nou kote ou pou pran ou kòm madanm li.”
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."
Li te leve e te bese jis figi li rive atè, e te di: “Gade byen sèvant pa ou se yon sèvant ki pou ta lave pye a sèvant pa li 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.
Konsa, Abigaïl te leve vit pou te ale monte sou yon bourik, avèk senk sèvant li yo ki te okipe li. Li te swiv mesaje David yo e te devni madanm li.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they both became his wives.
David te anplis pran Achinoam a Jizreel e yo toulède te devni madanm li.
44 Now Saul had given Mikal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Alò, Saül te deja bay fi li, Mical, madanm a David, a Palti, fis a Laïsch ki te sòti Gallim.
