1 Samuel 17
1 And the Philistines gathered together their hosts, unto battle, and they were gathered together unto Socoh, which belongeth unto Judah, —and they encamped 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 and, Saul and the men of Israel, gathered themselves together, and encamped in the vale of Elah, and set the army 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 And, the Philistines, were standing near the hill on one side, and, the Israelites, were standing near the hill on the other side, —while, the valley, was between them.
Filisten yo te kanpe sou ti mòn nan e Izrayelit yo sou lòt kote a, avèk vale a antre yo de.
4 And there came forth a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, Goliath, his name, from Gath, —his height, six cubits and a span;
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 with a helmet of bronze on his head, and, with a scaly coat of mail, was he clad, —the weight of the coat, being five thousand shekels of bronze;
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, greaves of bronze, on his feet, —and, a javelin of bronze, between his shoulders;
Anplis, li te genyen pwotèj an bwonz sou janm li avèk yon lans an bwonz ki te pann antre zepòl li.
7 and, the shaft of his spear, was like a weaver’s beam, and, the flashing head of his spear, was six hundred shekels of iron, —and, his shield-bearer, was coming on before 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 And he took his stand, and cried unto the ranks of Israel, and said unto them, Wherefore should ye come out, to set in array for battle? Am not, I, a Philistine, while, ye, are servants unto Saul? Choose you a man, and let him come down unto 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 prevail in fighting with me, and smite me, then will we become your servants, —but, if, I, prevail over him, and smite him, then shall ye become 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 And the Philistine said—I, reproach the ranks 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 these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and feared exceedingly.
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-judah, whose, name, was Jesse, and, who, had eight sons, —and, the man, in the days of Saul was old, 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 And the three eldest sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle, —and, the names of his three sons who went into the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and, the next to him, Abinadab, and, the third, Shammah.
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 But, as for David, he, 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 whereas, David, kept going and returning from Saul, —to tend his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.
Men David te fè ale retou soti nan Saül pou okipe bann mouton papa li nan Bethléhem.
16 And 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 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take, I pray thee, unto thy brethren—this ephah of parched corn, and these ten loaves, —and run to the camp unto thy brethren;
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 also these ten slices of soft cheese, shalt thou take to the captain of their thousand, —and, as for thy brethren, give good heed to their welfare, their pledge, also shalt thou receive.
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 vale of Elah, ready to fight with the Philistines.
Paske Saül avèk tout lame Israël la nan vale Ela a, nan goumen avèk Filisten yo.”
20 So then David rose up early in the morning, and entrusted the sheep to a keeper, and took up [the provisions] and went his way, as Jesse had commanded him, —and came into the circular rampart, as, the force, was going forth into the ranks, and shouted for the fight.
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 So Israel and the Philistines set in array for battle, army against army.
Israël avèk Filisten yo te vin parèt nan chan batay yo, lame kont lame.
22 Then David entrusted the provisions that were upon him to the care of the keeper of the stores, and ran unto the ranks, —and came and asked for the welfare of his brethren.
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 Now, as he was speaking with them, lo! the champion coming up, Goliath the Philistine, by name, of Gath, [coming up] out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he spake according to these 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 Now, all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from before him, and feared exceedingly.
Lè tout mesye Israël yo te wè nonm nan, yo te kouri kite li e yo te vin pè anpil.
25 And the men of Israel said—Have ye seen this man that is coming up? For, to reproach Israel, is he coming. So then it shall be, that, the man that shall smite him, the same, will the king enrich with great riches, and, his own daughter, will give him, and, his father’s house, will he make free 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 Then spake David unto the men that were standing by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that shall smite yonder Philistine, and so shall take away reproach from off Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of a 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 And the people answered him, according to this word saying, —So, shall it be done to the man that shall smite him.
Pèp la, selon pawòl sila a, te reponn e te di: “Se konsa li va fèt pou mesye ki touye li a.”
28 Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men, —then was kindled the anger of Eliab against David, and he said—Wherefore is it that thou hast come down? and to whom hast thou entrusted those few sheep in the wilderness? I, know thy pride, and the foolishness of thy heart, for, to see the battle, hast thou come down.
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 And David said, What have I done, now? Was there not, a cause?
Men David te di: “Kisa mwen te fè koulye a? Se pa sèlman ke m poze yon kesyon?”
30 Then turned he from him unto another, and said—according to this word, —and the people returned him an answer, like the first.
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 And the words which David spake were overheard, —and, when they told them before Saul, he summoned him.
Lè pawòl David te pale yo, te tande, yo te pale avèk Saül, e li te voye chache li.
32 And David said unto Saul, Let not the heart of my lord fail, because of him, —thy 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 And Saul said unto David—Thou art not able to go against this Philistine, to fight with him, —for, a youth, art, thou, but, 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 Then said David unto Saul, Thy servant used to tend his father’s sheep, —and there would come a lion, or a bear, and carry off 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 and I would go out after him, and smite him, and rescue it out of his mouth, —and, if he rose against me, I would catch him by his beard, and smite him, and slay 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 Thy servant could slay, either a lion or a bear, —and, this uncircumcised Philistine, shall become, as one of them, for he hath reproached the ranks of a 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 And David said, Yahweh, who hath rescued me out of the power of the lion, and out of the power of the bear, he, will rescue us out of the hand of this Philistine. Then said Saul unto David—Go! and, Yahweh, will be with thee.
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 Saul clad David with his own military coat, and set a helmet of bronze upon his head, —and clad him with a coat of mail.
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 girded his sword above his military coat, but was reluctant to go, for he had not proved them, —so David said unto Saul—I cannot go in these, for I have not proved them. And David put 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 took he his stick in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the torrent-bed, and put them in the shepherd’s-pouch which he had—even in the wallet, and had his sling in his hand, —and so drew near unto 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 And the Philistine came on and on, and drew near unto David, —and the man carrying the shield was before him.
Alò, Filisten an te kontinye vin pwoche David avèk potè zam nan devan l.
42 And, when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him, —for he was a youth, and ruddy, a stripling of fair countenance.
Lè Filisten an te gade wè David, li te meprize li, paske li te sèlman yon jennonm figi wouj, avèk yon bèl aparans.
43 Then said the Philistine unto David, A dog, am, I, that thou art coming unto me, with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David, by his god.
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 And the Philistine said unto David, —Come, unto me, that I may give thy flesh to the birds of heaven, and to the beasts 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 said David unto the Philistine—Thou, art coming unto me with sword, and with spear, and with javelin, —but, I, am coming unto thee in the name of Yahweh of hosts, God of the ranks of Israel which thou hast reproached.
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 This day, will Yahweh deliver thee into my hand, and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee, and will give thy dead body and the dead bodies of the host of Philistines, this day, unto the birds of heaven, and unto the wild beasts of the earth, —that all the earth may know that Israel hath a God;
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 gathered host may know that, not with sword and with spear, doth Yahweh save, —for, unto Yahweh, belongeth the battle, and he will deliver 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 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew near to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the ranks 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 And David thrust his hand into his pouch, and took from thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine, in his forehead, —that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face, to the earth.
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 Thus David prevailed over the Philistine, with the sling and with the stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him, —but, sword, was there none 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 So David ran, and stood by the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off, therewith, his head, —and, when the Philistines saw that their hero was slain, 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 Then arose the men of Israel and Judah, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, as far as the entrance into Gath, and as far as the gates of Ekron, —and the slain of the Philistines fell in the way to the two gates, even as far as Gath and as far as 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 And the sons of Israel returned from hotly pursuing the Philistines, —and plundered their camps.
Fis Israël yo te retounen soti nan lachas Filisten yo e te piyaje tout kan yo.
54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it into Jerusalem, —but, his armour, put he into 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 And, when Saul saw David going forth to meet the Philistine, he said unto Abner, prince of the host, Whose son is the young man, Abner? And Abner said, By the life of thy soul, O king! I know not.
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 Then said the king, —Ask, thou, whose son the stripling is?
Wa a te di: “Mande moun pou konnen fis a kilès jennonm sa a ye.”
57 And, when David returned from smiting 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 And Saul said unto him, Whose son art, thou, O young man? And David said, Son of thy 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.”
