1 Samuel 17
1 Now the Philistines gathered their armies for battle. They were gathered at Sokoh, which belongs to Judah. They had encamped between Sokoh 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 Saul and the men of Israel gathered and encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up their battle line to meet 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 The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side with a valley between them.
Filisten yo te kanpe sou ti mòn nan e Izrayelit yo sou lòt kote a, avèk vale a antre yo de.
4 A strong man came out of the Philistines' camp, a man named Goliath of Gath, whose height was 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 He had a helmet of bronze on his head, and he was armed with a coat of chainmail. The coat weighed 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 He had bronze armor on his legs 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 The staff of his spear was large, with a loop of cord for throwing it like the cord on a weaver's beam. His spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron. His shield bearer went 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 He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am not I a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to 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 is able to fight with me and kill me, then will we be your servants. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you will be 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 Again the Philistine said, “I challenge the ranks of Israel today. Give me a man so 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 what the Philistine said, they were discouraged and greatly afraid.
Lè Saül avèk tout Israël te tande pawòl a Filisten an, yo te sezi e pè anpil.
12 Now David was the son of the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse. He had eight sons. Jesse was an old man in the days of Saul, very old among men.
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 The three oldest sons of Jesse had followed Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, second 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 David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul.
David se te pi piti a. Alò, twa ki te pi gran yo te swiv Saül.
15 Now David went back and forth between Saul's army and his father's sheep at Bethlehem, in order to feed them.
Men David te fè ale retou soti nan Saül pou okipe bann mouton papa li nan Bethléhem.
16 For forty days the Philistine strong man came near morning and evening to present himself for battle.
Filisten an te parèt ni nan maten ni nan aswè pandan karant jou e li te fè kanpe li.
17 Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take to your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp for your brothers.
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 bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand. See how your brothers are doing and bring back some proof that they are doing well.
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 Your brothers are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting the Philistines.”
Paske Saül avèk tout lame Israël la nan vale Ela a, nan goumen avèk Filisten yo.”
20 David got up early in the morning and left the flock in the care of a shepherd. He took the supplies and left, as Jesse commanded him. He came to the camp as the army was going out to the battlefield shouting the war cry.
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 Then Israel and the Philistines lined up for battle, army against army.
Israël avèk Filisten yo te vin parèt nan chan batay yo, lame kont lame.
22 David left his belongings with the keeper of supplies, ran to the army, and greeted his brothers.
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 As he talked with them, the strong man, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, and he came out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words as before, 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 When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from him and were very afraid.
Lè tout mesye Israël yo te wè nonm nan, yo te kouri kite li e yo te vin pè anpil.
25 The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? He has come to challenge Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and he will give his daughter to him in marriage, and will make his father's house free from taxation 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 David said to the men who stood by him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the 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 Then the people repeated what they had been saying and told him, “So it will be done for the man who kills him.”
Pèp la, selon pawòl sila a, te reponn e te di: “Se konsa li va fèt pou mesye ki touye li a.”
28 Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men. Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the mischief in your heart; for you have come down here so that you might see the battle.”
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 David said, “What have I done now? Was it not just a question?”
Men David te di: “Kisa mwen te fè koulye a? Se pa sèlman ke m poze yon kesyon?”
30 He turned away from him toward another, and spoke in the same way. The people answered the same thing as before.
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 When the words that David said were heard, soldiers repeated them to Saul, and he sent for David.
Lè pawòl David te pale yo, te tande, yo te pale avèk Saül, e li te voye chache li.
32 Then David said to Saul, “Let no man's heart fail because of that Philistine; your 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 Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are only a youth, and 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 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took 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 I chased after him and attacked him, and rescued it out of his mouth. When he rose up against me, I caught him by his beard, struck him, and killed 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 Your servant has killed both a lion and a bear. This uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has challenged the armies of the 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 David said, “Yahweh rescued me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear. He will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Then Saul said to David, “Go, and may Yahweh be with you.”
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 Saul clothed David with his armor. He put a helmet of bronze upon his head, and he clothed him with a coat of chainmail.
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 David strapped his sword on his armor. But he was not able to walk, because he had not trained with them. Then David said to Saul, “I cannot go out to fight with these, for I have not trained with them.” So David put them off.
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 He took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones out of the brook; he put them in his shepherd's pouch. His sling was in his hand as he approached 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 The Philistine came and approached David, with his shield bearer in front of him.
Alò, Filisten an te kontinye vin pwoche David avèk potè zam nan devan l.
42 When the Philistine looked around and saw David, he despised him, for he was only a boy, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.
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 the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?,” and the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
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 The Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the heavens 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 David replied to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin. But I come to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
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 Today Yahweh will give me victory over you, and I will kill you and remove your head from your body. Today I will give the dead bodies of the Philistine army to the birds of the heavens and to the wild beasts of the earth, so that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
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 gathering may know that Yahweh does not give victory with sword or spear. For the battle is Yahweh's, and he will give 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 When the Philistine rose and approached David, then David ran quickly toward the enemy army to meet him.
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 David put his hand in his bag, took a stone from it, slung it, and hit the Philistine in the forehead. The stone sank into the Philistine's forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground.
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 David defeated the Philistine with a sling and with a stone. He hit the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in David's hand.
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 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword, drew it out of the sheath, killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their strong man was dead, 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 the men of Israel and of Judah rose with a shout, and chased after the Philistines as far as the valley and the gates of Ekron. The dead Philistines lay along the way to Shaaraim, all the way to Gath and 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 The people of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their camp.
Fis Israël yo te retounen soti nan lachas Filisten yo e te piyaje tout kan yo.
54 David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in 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 When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?” Abner said, “As you live, king, I do not know.”
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 The king said, “Ask those who might know, whose son the boy is.”
Wa a te di: “Mande moun pou konnen fis a kilès jennonm sa a ye.”
57 When David returned from killing 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 Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” David answered, “I am the son of your 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.”
