1 Samuel 21
1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
Alò, David te rive Nob, vè Achimélec, prèt la. Achimélec te parèt tou tranble lè l te rankontre David, e li te mande li: “Poukisa se ou sèl e pa gen moun avèk ou?”
2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed the young men to such and such a place.
David te di a Achimélec, prèt la: “Wa a te ban m yon komisyon konsènan yon afè e li te di mwen: ‘Pa kite pèsòn konnen anyen sou afè ke m ap voye ou a. Se sou sila mwen ap pase ba ou lòd la; mwen te dirije mesye yo a yon sèten plas.’
3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or whatsoever there is present.
Konsa, kisa ou gen nan men ou? Ban m senk moso pen oswa nenpòt sa ou kab twouve.”
4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.
Prèt la te reponn David, e te di: “Nanpwen pen òdinè, men gen pen konsakre; si sèlman mesye yo te kenbe tèt yo lwen fanm.”
5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then today shall their vessels be holy?
David te reponn prèt la e te di li: “Asireman, fanm yo te kenbe lwen de nou kòm dabitid lè m konn pati. Kò a mesye yo te sen, malgre li te yon vwayaj òdinè. Konbyen anplis jodi a kò yo va sen?”
6 So the priest gave him holy [bread]: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
Konsa, prèt la te ba li pen konsakre a, paske pa t gen pen la sof ke pen Prezans ki te retire soti devan SENYÈ a, pou l ta kab ranplase li avèk pen cho menm lè ke li te retire.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.
Alò, youn nan sèvitè a Saül yo te la nan jou sa a, fèmen devan SENYÈ a. Non li se te Doëg, Edomit la, chèf a bèje Saül yo.
8 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.
David te di a Achimélec: “Alò, èske pa gen yon frenn oswa yon nepe ki disponib? Paske mwen pa t mennen ni nepe mwen, ni zam mwen avè m, akoz afè wa a te tèlman ijan.”
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slowest in the vale of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
Alò, prèt la te di: “Nepe Goliath la, Filisten an, ke ou te touye nan vale Ela a. Gade byen, li vlope nan yon twal dèyè efòd la. Si ou vle li, pran l. Paske nanpwen lòt sof ke li menm isit la.” Epi David te di: “Nanpwen lòt tankou li. Ban mwen li.”
10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Alò, David te leve e te sove ale kite Saül nan jou sa a pou te ale vè Akisch, wa a Gath la.
11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Men sèvitè a Akisch yo te di li: “Èske sa se pa David, wa a peyi a? Èske yo pa t konn chante a sila a pandan yo t ap danse, e t ap di: ‘Saül te touye dè milye pa li e David dè di-milye pa li?’”
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
David te swiv pawòl sa yo nan kè l e te pè Akisch, wa Gath la anpil.
13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
Konsa, li te kache bon tèt li devan yo e te aji tankou moun fou pandan li te nan men yo. Li te ekri pa aza yon bann mak sou pòtay avèk pòt yo e te kite krache desann sou bab li.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
Akisch te di a sèvitè li yo: “Gade byen, ou wè mesye a ap aji tankou yon moun fou. Poukisa ou mennen li kote mwen?
15 Do I lack mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
Èske mwen manke moun fou, pou ou te mennen sila a pou aji tankou moun fou nan prezans mwen? Èske sila a va antre lakay mwen?”
