< 1 Samuel 29 >
1 Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
Moun Filisti yo sanble tout sòlda yo nèt lavil Afèk. Moun Izrayèl yo menm te moute kan yo bò sous ki nan Fon Jizreyèl la.
2 And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rear with Achish.
Senk chèf moun Filisti yo te pran devan, yo t'ap mache yonn dèyè lòt ak divizyon lame yo. Yo te gen batayon san sòlda ak rejiman mil sòlda. David t'ap mache dèyè nèt avèk mesye l' yo ansanm ak Akich.
3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell to me to this day?
Lòt chèf moun Filisti yo di konsa: -Sa bann ebre sa yo ap fè la a? Akich reponn yo: -Se David, yonn nan mesye ki t'ap sèvi ak Sayil, wa pèp Izrayèl la. Li gen kèk tan depi li avè m'. Depi jou li kite wa pèp Izrayèl la pou li vin jwenn mwen, mwen pa janm jwenn anyen pou m' repwoche l' jouk jounen jòdi a.
4 And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he should be an adversary to us: for how should he reconcile himself to his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?
Men, lòt chèf moun Filisti yo move sou Akich, yo di l' konsa: -Voye nonm sa a ale. Fè l' tounen nan lavil ou te ba li pou l' rete a. Pa kite l' al goumen avèk nou pou pandan batay la li pa vire sou do nou. Sa ka ba l' yon bèl okazyon pou l' touye moun nou yo, epi pou l' byen ankò ak mèt li.
5 Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Lèfini, fòk nou pa bliye, se David wi. Se pou li medam yo te fè chante sa a lè yo t'ap danse a. Chante a te pati konsa: Sayil desann mil. David desann dimil.
6 Then Achish called David, and said to him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee from the day of thy coming to me to this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.
Akich rele David, li di l' konsa: -Mwen pran Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, ou se yon nèg serye, ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou avè m'. Se ta tout plezi m' pou m' ta toujou wè ou la avè m' nan tout antre soti m' nan batay la. Paske, depi jou ou te vin jwenn mwen an rive jòdi a, mwen pa janm jwenn anyen ou fè ki mal. Men, mesye chèf yo pa fè ou konfyans.
7 Therefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
Konsa, tounen al lakay ou ak kè poze. Epi, piga ou janm fè anyen ki pa fè yo plezi, tande!
8 And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
David reponn li: -Men, mèt mwen, kisa m' fè? Depi premye jou mwen prezante lakay ou pou m' sèvi ou rive jòdi a, ou pa janm jwenn anyen mwen fè ki mal. Poukisa ou pa vle mwen vin goumen bò kote ou, monwa, mèt mwen, kont lènmi ou yo?
9 And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: however the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
Akich reponn David: -Ou pa bezwen di m' anyen! Pou mwen, ou bon tankou yon zanj Bondye. Men, sa ou vle m' fè? Lòt chèf yo di ou pa pral avèk nou nan batay la.
10 Therefore now rise early in the morning with thy master’s servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye shall have risen early in the morning, and have light, depart.
Koulye a, David, denmen maten, ou pral leve bonè bonè, ansanm ak tout mesye ki te vire do bay Sayil, mèt ou a, pou yo te vin avè ou bò isit la vin jwenn mwen. Kou bajou kase n'a pati al fè wout nou.
11 So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
Konsa vre, nan denmen maten, bonè bonè David leve ansanm ak tout mesye l' yo, yo pati, yo tounen nan peyi Filisti a. Lame moun Filisti yo menm pran chemen pou yo ale Jizreyèl.
