1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
Epi David te sove ale kite Najoth nan Rama, e li te vin di a Jonathan: “Kisa mwen te fè? Ki inikite mwen genyen? Epi ki peche mwen gen devan papa ou, pou li ap chache lavi m?”
2 And he said to him, Far be it from thee; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it to me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
Li te di li: “Lwen de sa, ou p ap mouri. Gade byen, papa m p ap janm fè anyen ni gran ni piti amwenske li avèti m. Konsa pou ki rezon li ta kache bagay sa a de mwen? Se pa vrè!”
3 And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
Men David te fè ve ankò, e li te di: “Papa ou konnen byen ke mwen te jwenn favè nan zye ou, e li te di: ‘Pa kite Jonathan konnen bagay sa a, oswa li va blese.’ Men anverite, jan SENYÈ a viv la e jan nanm ou viv la, gen sèlman yon pa antre mwen ak lanmò.”
4 Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
Alò, Jonathan te di a David: “Nenpòt sa ou mande, m ap fè l pou ou.”
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at the table: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
Konsa, David te di a Jonathan: “Veye byen, demen se nouvèl lin nan. Mwen ta dwe chita a tab pou manje avèk wa a. Men kite mwen ale pou m kache kò m nan chan an jis rive twa jou.
6 If thy father shall at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Si papa ou vin wè ke m pa la, alò li di: ‘David te mande mwen favè pou l ta kab kouri rive Bethléhem, vil pa li a, akoz se lè sakrifis ane a pou tout fanmi an.’
7 If he shall say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he shall be very angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
Si li di: ‘Sa bon,’ sèvitè ou a va sove; men si li vin byen fache, konnen ke li te pran desizyon pou l fè mal la.
8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: however, if there is in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
Pou sa, aji avèk bon kè avèk sèvitè ou a; paske ou te mennen sèvitè ou antre nan yon akò a SENYÈ a avèk ou. Men si gen inikite nan mwen, mete m a lanmò ou menm; paske poukisa, si se konsa, ou ta dwe mennen mwen kote papa ou?”
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
Jonathan te di: “Sa se lwen de sa! Paske si mwen ta konprann ke papa m te detèmine pou fè ou mal; alò, èske mwen pa t ap di ou sa?”
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father shall answer thee roughly?
Alò, David te di a Jonathan: “Se kilès ki va di mwen si papa ou bay yon repons ki di?”
11 And Jonathan said to David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Jonathan te di a David: “Vini, annou ale nan chan an.” Konsa, toude te sòti nan chan an.
12 And Jonathan said to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not to thee, and show it thee;
Alò, Jonathan te di a David: “SENYÈ Bondye Israël la se temwen! Lè m fin sonde papa m vè lè sa a demen, oswa nan twazyèm jou a, gade byen, si gen bon repons anvè ou menm, èske mwen p ap voye yon mo ba ou pou fè ou konnen sa?
13 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it shall please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it to thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
Si se volonte a papa m pou fè ou mal, kite SENYÈ a fè menm jan an ak Jonathan e menm plis toujou, si mwen pa fè ou konnen e voye ou ale, pou ou kab sòti ansekirite. Epi ke Bondye kapab avèk ou menm jan ke li te ye avèk papa m nan.
14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I may not die:
Si mwen toujou vivan, èske ou p ap montre mwen tout lanmou a SENYÈ a pou m pa mouri?
15 But also thou shalt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
Ou p ap retire lanmou ou vè lakay mwen pou tout tan, pa menm lè SENYÈ a vin koupe dènye lènmi David la sou fas tè a.”
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David’s enemies.
Konsa tou Jonathan te fè yon akò avèk lakay David: “Ke SENYÈ a toujou mande menm devwa sa a nan men a lènmi David yo.”
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Jonathan te fè David fè ve a ankò akoz ke li te renmen li e akoz li te renmen li tankou li te renmen pwòp vi pa li.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
Alò, Jonathan te di li: “Demen se nouvèl lin nan e absans ou ap byen klè akoz chèz ou a va vid
19 And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
Lè ou fin rete pandan twa jou, ou va desann vit vini nan plas kote ou te kache nan jou evenman sa yo; epi ou va rete akote wòch Ézel la.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
Mwen va tire twa flèch akote, kòmsi se yon pratik m ap fè.
21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.
Epi tande byen, mwen va voye yon ti gason e di l: ‘Ale dèyè flèch yo.’ Si mwen pale byen klè a ti gason an, e di l: ‘Gade byen, flèch yo bò sa a de ou menm, ale chache yo;’ alò, ou va vini, paske gen sekirite pou ou e nanpwen mal, jan SENYÈ a viv la.
22 But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.
Men si mwen di ti gason an: ‘Gade byen, flèch yo lwen ou,’ alò ale, paske SENYÈ a te voye ou ale.
23 And as to the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.
Epi pou afè akò ke ou menm avèk mwen fin pale a, gade byen, SENYÈ a antre ou menm avèk mwen menm pou tout tan.”
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon had come, the king sat down to eat food.
Konsa, David te kache nan chan an. Epi lè nouvèl lin nan vin leve, wa a te chita sou tab la pou manje.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty.
Wa a te chita nan plas li kòm nòmal, chèz akote mi an. Alò, Jonathan te leve e Abner te chita akote Saül, men plas David la te vid.
26 Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
Malgre Saül pa t di anyen nan jou sa a, paske li te di a li menm: “Se yon malè ki rive e li vin pa pwòp. Asireman, li pa pwòp.”
27 And it came to pass on the next day, which was the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why cometh not the son of Jesse to eat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
Li te vin rive nan pwochen jou a, dezyèm jou nouvèl lin nan, ke plas David la te vid. Konsa, Saül te di a Jonathan, fis li a: “Poukisa fis a Jesse pa parèt nan repa a, ni yè, ni jodi a?”
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
Alò, Jonathan te reponn Saül: “David te swayezman mande pèmisyon a mwen menm pou ale Bethléhem,
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not to the king’s table.
paske li te di: ‘Souple kite m ale, akoz fanmi nou gen yon sakrifis nan vil la e frè m yo te mande m parèt. Epi koulye a, si m jwenn favè nan zye ou, souple, kite m fè yon sòti pou m kapab wè frè m yo.’ Pou rezon sa a, li pa t vin parèt sou tab a Wa a.”
30 Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own shame, and to the shame of thy mother’s nakedness?
Alò, kòlè a Saül te brile kont Jonathan e li te di a li: “Se fis a yon fanm pèvès e rebèl ke ou ye! Èske mwen pa konprann ke w ap chwazi fis a Jesse jis pou wont pa ou e jis rive nan wont a nidite manman ou.
31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.
Paske depi fis Jesse a rete sou latè, ni ou menm ni wayòm ou a p ap etabli. Alò, pou sa, voye mennen li kote mwen, paske fòk li mouri.”
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? what hath he done?
Men Jonathan te reponn Saül, papa li: “Poukisa li dwe mouri? Kisa li te fè?”
33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to slay David.
Alò, Saül te voye frenn nan sou Jonathan pou frape fè l tonbe. Epi konsa, Jonathan te konnen ke papa li te pran desizyon pou mete David a lanmò.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Epi Jonathan te leve sou tab la byen anraje e li pa t manje nan dezyèm jou nouvèl lin nan, paske kè l te fè l mal akoz papa li te derespekte l konsa.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
Alò, li te vin rive nan maten ke Jonathan te parèt nan chan an pou randevou avèk David la, e yon ti gason te avè l.
36 And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
Li te di a jennonm nan: “Kouri koulye a pou ale chache flèch ke m prèt pou tire yo.” Pandan jennonm nan t ap kouri, li te tire yon flèch ki te depase li.
37 And when the lad had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
Lè jennonm nan te rive nan plas flèch ke Jonathan te tire a, Jonathan te rele jennonm nan e te di: “Èske flèch la pa pi lwen ou?”
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Jonathan te rele jennonm nan: “Pa mize, fè vit, pa fè reta!” Epi jennonm Jonathan an te pran flèch la e te retounen vè mèt li.
39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Men jennonm nan pa t konnen anyen. Sèlman Jonathan avèk David te konprann koze a.
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
Alò, Jonathan te bay zam li yo a jennonm nan e te di li: “Ale pote antre nan vil la.”
41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, but David more so.
Lè jennonm nan te fin ale, David te leve soti nan fas sid la. Li te tonbe sou figi li atè e li te bese ba twa fwa. Epi yo te bo youn lòt e te kriye ansanm, men David te kriye plis.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
Jonathan te di a David: “Ale anpè. Jan nou te sèmante youn ak lòt nan non SENYÈ a, e te di: ‘SENYÈ a va antre ou avèk mwen, antre desandan pa w ak desandan pa m jis pou tout tan.’” Epi li te leve sòti pandan Jonathan t ap antre nan vil la.
