1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died, and all Israel were gathered together, and made lamentation for him, and buried him within his own house, in Ramah, —and David arose and went down into 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 Now there was, a man, in Maon, whose cattle were in Carmel, and, the man, was exceeding great, and, he, had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats, —and so it was, that 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 of good understanding, and of beautiful figure, —but, the man, was unfeeling and of evil practices, and he 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 So then 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 David, therefore, sent ten young men, —and David said unto the young men, —Go up to Carmel, and enter in unto Nabal, and ye shall ask him, in my name, of his welfare;
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 and say thus—Long life to thee! Mayest, thou, prosper, And, thy household, prosper, And, all that thou hast, prosper!
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 Now, therefore, have I heard that thou hast shearers, —Well, the shepherds that thou hast, have been with us, we reproached them not, neither missed they, anything, all the days 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 thy young men, that they may tell thee, that so my young men may find favour in thine eyes, for, on a good day, have we come! Give, I pray thee, what thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to 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 David’s young men came, and spake unto Nabal, according to all these words, in the name of David, —and waited.
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 Then Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Nowadays, many are the servants that have broken away, every one from the presence of his lord:
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 slain beasts, that I have slaughtered for my shearers, —and give unto men of whom I know not whence they are?
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 the young men of David turned away for their journey, —and came back, and drew near, 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 Then said David unto his men—Gird on you every man his sword. And they girded on them, every man his sword, and, David also, girded on his sword, —and there went up after David—about four hundred men, and, two hundred, abode by the stores.
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 a certain one of her young men told, Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, —Lo! David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he treated them with contempt.
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 exceeding good to us, —and we were not harmed, neither missed we, anything, all the days we went to and fro with them, while 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 A wall, became they unto us, both by night and by day, all the days we were with them, tending the flock.
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 thou, and see, what thou canst do, for mischief is determined against our lord, and against all his household, —but, he, is such an abandoned man, that one cannot speak unto 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 hastened—and took two hundred loaves, and two skins of wine, and five sheep made ready, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred cakes of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, —and put them on the asses.
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 And she said to her young men—Pass on before me, behold me coming after you; but, to her husband, Nabal, told she nothing.
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 And so it was, as she was riding on her ass, and descending within the covert of the hill, lo! David and his men, descending over against her, —so 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, did I guard all that pertained to this man in the wilderness, so that there was, nothing, missed of all that he had, —seeing he hath returned to 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 So may God do to David and so may he add, if I leave remaining, of all that he hath, until the morning, —so much as a little boy.
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 And, when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from off her ass, —and fell down before David upon her face, and prostrated herself on the ground;
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 yea she fell at his feet, and said—On me, even me, my lord, be the transgression, —But, I pray thee, let thy handmaid speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.
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 Let it not be, I pray thee, that my lord regard this abandoned man—Nabal ["Base"]; For, as his name is, so, is he. Nabal, is his name, and, baseness, is with him, —But, I, thy handmaid, saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
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—By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of thine own soul, —seeing Yahweh hath withholden thee from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving thyself, with thine own hand, now, therefore, like Nabal, be thine enemies, and they who are making search for my lord, wrongfully.
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, therefore, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord, let it even be given unto the young men who are going to and fro at the feet of my lord.
Alò, kite kado sila ke sèvant ou pote pou mèt mwen an, bay a jennonm ki akonpanye mèt mwen yo.
28 Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid, —for Yahweh, will certainly make, for my lord an assured house, for, the battles of Yahweh, is my lord fighting, and, wrong, shall not be found in thee, all thy 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 yea, though there hath arisen a sun of earth to pursue thee, and to seek thy life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of the living, with Yahweh thy God, but, as for the life of thine enemies, he shall sling it out with the middle of the hollow of the 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 And it shall be, when Yahweh shall do for my lord, according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, —and shall put thee in charge as leader 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 then shall this not become to thee a staggering and stumbling of heart, unto my lord—that thou didst either shed blood without need, or that the hand of my lord saved himself. And, when Yahweh hath dealt well with my lord, then remember thou thy handmaid.
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 Then said David unto Abigail, —Blessed, be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who hath sent thee 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 and, blessed, be thy discreet judgment, and, blessed, be thou thyself, —who hast kept me, this day, from coming in with bloodshed, and from saving myself, with mine 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 Nevertheless, by the life of Yahweh, God of Israel, who hath restrained me from harming, thee, surely, except thou hadst hastened and come to meet me, there had not been left unto Nabal, by the light of the morning, so much as a little boy.
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 at her hand, that which she had brought him, —and, unto herself, he said—Go up, in peace, unto thy house, see! I have hearkened unto thy voice, and accepted thy person.
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 And, when Abigail came unto Nabal, lo! he, had a banquet in his house, like the banquet of a king, and, the heart of Nabal, was glad accordingly, he having drunk deeply, —so she told him nothing—less or more, until the light of the morning.
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 And it came to pass, in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, and his wife told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like 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 And it came to pass, in about ten days, that Yahweh smote Nabal, that he died.
Anviwon di jou pita, SENYÈ a te frape Nabal e li te mouri.
39 And, when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said—Blessed, be Yahweh, who hath maintained the plea of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath restrained, his servant, from wrong, yea, the wrong of Nabal, hath Yahweh turned back on his own head. Then sent David, and spake with Abigail, to take her to himself 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 And the servants of David came unto Abigail the Carmelitess, —and spake unto her, saying, David, hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to himself to 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 And she arose, and bowed herself down with her face to the earth, —and said—Lo! thy handmaid, as serving-woman to bathe the feet of the servants of my lord.
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 And Abigail hastened, and mounted, and rode upon her ass, with her five damsels that used to journey at her feet, —and she went her way after 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 took, Ahinoam also, out of Jezreel, —and, they two, became his wives.
David te anplis pran Achinoam a Jizreel e yo toulède te devni madanm li.
44 Saul, indeed, had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, —to Palti, sun 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.
