1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul in Gibeah, saying, —Is not David hiding himself in the hill of Hachilah, overlooking Jeshimon?
Zifyen yo te vin kote Saül nan Guibea. Yo te di l: “Èske David pa kache nan ti mòn Hakila a, devan Jeschimon?”
2 Then Saul arose, and went down into the wilderness of Ziph, and, with him, three thousand chosen men of Israel, —to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Konsa, Saül te leve desann nan dezè Ziph la e te genyen avè l twa-mil òm Israël, byen chwazi pou chache David nan dezè Ziph la.
3 And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which overlooketh Jeshimon, by the way, —but, David, was staying in the wilderness, so he saw that Saul was coming after him into the wilderness.
Saül te fè kan nan ti mòn Hakila a, ki devan Jeschimon, akote wout la, e David te rete nan dezè a, lè li te wè ke Saül te vini dèyè li nan dezè a.
4 David therefore sent runners, —and took knowledge that Saul had come, for a certainty.
Konsa, David te voye espyon yo deyò, e li te konnen san dout ke Saül t ap vini.
5 So then David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped, and David saw the place where Saul was lying, with Abner, son of Ner, prince of his host, —and, Saul, was lying within the circular trench, with, the people, encamped round about him.
Pou sa, David te leve pou vini nan plas kote Saül te fè kan an. Epi David te wè plas kote Saül te kouche avèk Abner, fis a Ner a, kòmandan lame li a. Saül te kouche nan mitan won kan an e pèp la te fè kan an antoure li.
6 And David responded, and said unto Ahimelech the Hittite, and unto Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, Who will go down with me unto Saul, within the camp? And Abishai said, I, will go down with thee.
Konsa, David te di a Achimélec, Etyen an ak Abischaï, fis a Tseruja a, frè a Joab, e li te di: “Se kilès k ap desann avè m kote Saül nan kan an?” Abischaï te di: “M ap desann avè w.”
7 So David came, with Abishai, unto the people by night, and lo! Saul lying asleep, within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground, at his head, —and Abner and the people lying round about him.
Konsa, David avèk Abischaï te pwoche kote pèp la nan lannwit. Epi vwala, Saül te kouche nan dòmi anndan won kan an avèk frenn li kole nan tè kote tèt li. Epi Abner avèk pèp la te kouche antoure li.
8 Then said Abishai unto David, God hath surrendered, to-day, thine enemy, into thy hand: Now, therefore, let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth, at one stroke, I, will not do it twice.
Alò, Abischaï te di a David: “Jodi a, Bondye gen tan livre lènmi ou an nan men ou. Pou sa, koulye a, kite mwen frape li avèk frenn nan rive jis atè ak yon sèl kou e mwen p ap frape li yon dezyèm fwa.”
9 But David said unto Abishai, Do not destroy him, —for who that hath thrust forth his hand against the Anointed of Yahweh, shall be guiltless?
Men David te di a Abischaï: “Pa detwi li, paske se kilès ki kab lonje men l kont onksyone a SENYÈ a e rete pa koupab?”
10 And David said—By the life of Yahweh, surely, Yahweh himself, must smite him, —or, his day, must come that he die, or, into battle, must he go down, and be swept away.
Anplis, David te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, asireman, SENYÈ a va frape li, oswa jou li va rive pou li mouri, oswa li va tonbe nan batay e peri.
11 Far be it from me, of Yahweh, that I should thrust forth my hand against the anointed of Yahweh! Now, therefore, take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go our way.
SENYÈ a anpeche ke m ta lonje men m kont onksyone SENYÈ a. Men koulye a, souple, pran frenn ki bò kot tèt li a ak veso dlo a, epi, an ale.”
12 So David took the spear, and the cruse of water, from near the head of Saul, and they went their way, —and no man saw, and no man knew, and no man awoke, for all of them were sleeping, for, a deep sleep from Yahweh, had fallen upon them.
Konsa, David te pran frenn nan avèk veso dlo a soti kote tèt a Saül e yo te pati. Men pèsòn pa t konnen, ni leve, paske yo tout t ap dòmi, akoz yon fon somèy ki sòti nan SENYÈ a te vin tonbe sou yo.
13 Then David crossed over to the other side, and took his stand on the top of the mountain, afar off, —a great space, being between them.
Konsa, David te travèse de lòt kote, e te kanpe sou tèt mòn nan a yon distans avèk yon gran espas antre yo.
14 And David cried aloud unto the people, and unto Abner son of Ner, saying, Wilt thou not answer, Abner? Then answered Abner, and said, Who art thou, that hast cried aloud unto the king?
David te rele tout moun yo ak Abner, fis a Ner a. Li te di: “Èske ou p ap reponn, Abner?” Alò, Abner te reponn: “Se kilès ou ye k ap rele wa a?”
15 And David said unto Abner—Art not thou, a man? Who indeed is like thee, in Israel? Wherefore, then, hast thou not kept watch over thy lord, the king? For one of the people hath entered, to destroy the king—thy lord.
Konsa, David te di a Abner: “Èske ou pa yon gason? Alò, se kilès ki tankou ou an Israël? Kòmsi, poukisa ou pa t veye mèt ou, wa a? Paske yon moun nan pèp la te vini detwi wa a, mèt ou a.
16 Not good, is this thing which thou hast done, by the life of Yahweh, verily, worthy of death, ye are, in that ye have not kept watch over your lord, over, the Anointed of Yahweh. Now, therefore, see where the spear of the king is, and the cruse of water, that was at his head?
Bagay ke ou te fè a, pa bon! Jan SENYÈ a viv la, fòk ou mouri! Paske ou pa t veye mèt ou, onksyone a SENYÈ a. Konsa, koulye a, gade kote frenn a wa a ye ak veso dlo ki te kote tèt li a.”
17 And Saul knew the voice of David, and said—Thy voice, is this, my son David? And David said, My voice, my lord O king!
Saül te rekonèt vwa a David, e te di: “Èske se vwa ou, fis mwen, David?” David te di: “Se vwa m, mèt mwen, wa a.”
18 And he said, Wherefore is it, that my lord is in pursuit of his servant? For what have I done? or what is in my hand that is wrong?
Anplis li te di: “Alò, poukisa mèt mwen ap kouri dèyè sèvitè li a? Paske kisa mwen te fè? Oswa ki mal ki nan men m?
19 Now, therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant, —If, Yahweh, have goaded thee on against me, let him accept the sweet smell of a gift, but, if the sons of men, accursed, they are before Yahweh, for they have driven me out, to-day, from joining myself with the inheritance of Yahweh, saying—Go, serve other gods!
Alò, pou sa, souple kite mèt mwen, wa a, koute pawòl a sèvitè li yo. Si SENYÈ a te boulvèse ou kont mwen, kite Li aksepte yon ofrann. Men si se lèzòm, modi yo ye devan SENYÈ a. Paske yo te chase mwen sòti jodi a pou fè m pa atache ankò a eritaj SENYÈ a. Yo di: ‘Ale sèvi lòt dye yo.’
20 Now, therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth, away from the presence of Yahweh, —for the king of Israel hath come out to hunt for a single flea, as when one pursueth a partridge among the mountains.
Alò, pou sa, pa kite san mwen tonbe atè lwen prezans SENYÈ a, paske wa Israël la te vin parèt pou chache yon sèl pis, tankou yon moun k ap fè lachas pentad nan mòn yo.”
21 Then said Saul—I have sinned, Return, my son David, for I will harm thee no more, because my life was precious in thine eyes, this day, —lo! I have acted foolishly and, greatly, erred.
Alò Saül te di: “Mwen te peche. Retounen, fis mwen, David. Paske mwen p ap fè ou mal ankò, akoz lavi mwen te presye nan zye ou nan jou sa a. Gade, mwen te jwe wòl a yon enbesil e mwen te fè yon gwo erè.”
22 And David responded, and said, Lo! the spear of the king! Let, therefore, one of the young men come over, and fetch it.
David te reponn: “Gade byen, men frenn a wa a! Alò kite youn nan jennonm yo travèse vin pran l.
23 And let, Yahweh, give back to each man, his righteousness, and his faithfulness, —in that Yahweh delivered thee, to-day, into my hand, but I would not thrust forth my hand against the Anointed of Yahweh.
SENYÈ a va rekonpanse chak moun pou ladwati pa li ak fidelite li; paske SENYÈ a te livre ou nan men m jodi a. Mwen te refize lonje men m kont onksyone a SENYÈ a.
24 Lo! then, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so, let my life be much set by in the eyes of Yahweh, and let him rescue me out of all tribulation.
Gade byen, jan lavi ou te gen gwo valè nan zye m jodi a, konsa ke vi m ta ye nan men SENYÈ a. Ke li ta delivre mwen nan tout twoub.”
25 Then said Saul unto David—Blessed, be thou, my son David, thou shalt both, do, and shalt, prevail. And David went on his way, but, Saul, returned unto his own place.
Epi Saül te di a David: “Beni se ou menm, fis mwen, David. Ou va vin reyisi anpil e ou va vin genyen.” Konsa, David te fè wout li e Saül te retounen nan plas li.
