< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 Forsothe it was doon, after that Saul was deed, that Dauid turnede ayen fro the sleyng of Amalech, and dwellide twei daies in Sichelech.
Apre li te fin kraze moun Amalèk yo, David tounen lavil Ziklag. Lè sa a Sayil te deja mouri. David menm te lavil Ziklag depi de jou.
2 Forsothe in the thridde dai a man apperide, comynge fro the castels of Saul with the cloth to-rent, and his heed spreynt with dust; and as he cam to Dauid, he felde on his face, and worschipide.
Sou twazyèm jou a, yon nonm rive soti nan kan Sayil la. Rad sou li te chire, li te gen pousyè sou tèt li pou fè wè jan li te nan gwo lapenn. Lè li rive bò kote David, li lage kò l' atè, li bese tèt li byen ba devan li.
3 And Dauid seide to hym, Fro whennus comest thou? Which seide to Dauid, Y fledde fro the castels of Israel.
David mande l': -Kote ou soti? Nonm lan reponn: -Mwen chape kò m' soti nan kan moun Izrayèl yo.
4 And Dauid seide to hym, What is the word which is doon; schewe thou to me. And he seide, The puple fledde fro the batel, and many of the puple felden, and ben deed; but also Saul, and Jonathas, his sonne, perischyden.
David di li: -Manyè di m' sa ki pase. Nonm lan reponn: -Lame pèp Izrayèl la kouri pandan batay la te mare. Gen anpil sòlda ki mouri. Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit gason l' lan, mouri tou.
5 And Dauid seide to the yong man, that telde to hym, Wherof woost thou, that Saul is deed, and Jonathas, his sonne?
David mande nonm ki te pote nouvèl la: -Ki jan ou fè konnen Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit li a, mouri?
6 And the yong man seide, that telde to hym, Bi hap Y cam in to the hil of Gelboe, and Saul lenyde on his spere; forsothe charis and knyytis neiyiden to hym;
Nonm lan reponn: -Mwen t'ap pase konsa sou mòn Gilboa a lè mwen wè Sayil apiye sou frenn li pou l' pa tonbe atè. Cha lagè lènmi yo ak kavalye yo te prèt pou rive sou li.
7 and he turnede bihynde his bak, `and siy me, and clepide. To whom whanne Y hadde answeride, Y am present; he seide to me, Who art thou?
Lè sa a, li voye je l' gade, li wè m', epi li rele m' vini. Mwen reponn li: Men mwen, monwa.
8 And Y seide to hym, Y am a man of Amalech.
Li mande m' ki moun mwen ye. Mwen reponn li se yon moun Amalèk mwen ye.
9 And he spak to me, Stonde thou on me, and sle me; for angwischis holden me, and yit al my lijf is in me.
Lè sa a, li mande m' pou m' pwoche bò kote l' pou m' touye l', paske li te santi tèt li ap vire, atout li te gen tout konesans li sou li.
10 And Y stood on hym, and Y killide hym; for Y wiste that he myyte not lyue aftir the fallyng; and Y took the diademe, that was in his heed, and the bye fro his arm, and Y brouyte hidur to thee, my lord.
Se konsa, mwen pwoche bò kote l', mwen touye l' paske mwen te konnen tonbe li te tonbe li t'ap toujou mouri. Apre sa, mwen pran kouwòn ki te sou tèt li ak braslè ki te nan ponyèt li, mwen pote yo ba ou, mèt.
11 Forsothe Dauid took and to-rente hise clothis, and the men that weren with hym;
David chire rad ki te sou li sitèlman sa te fè li lapenn. Tout moun ki te la avè l' yo fè menm bagay la tou.
12 and thei weiliden, and wepten, and fastiden `til to euentid, on Saul, and Jonathas, his sone, and on the puple of the Lord, and on the hows of Israel, for thei hadden feld bi swerd.
Yo kriye, yo pran gwo lapenn pou Sayil, pou Jonatan, pitit li a, pou lame Seyè a ak pou pèp Izrayèl la, paske te gen anpil ladan yo ki te mouri nan lagè a. Yo rete san manje jouk aswè.
13 And Dauid seide to the yong man, that telde to him, Of whennus art thou? And he answeride, Y am the sone of a man comelyng, of a man of Amalech.
Apre sa, David mande jenn gason ki te pote nouvèl la: -Ki moun ou ye? Jenn gason an reponn: -Mwen se pitit yonn nan moun Amalèk ki vin rete nan peyi a.
14 And Dauid seide to him, Whi dreddist thou not to sende thine hond, that thou schuldist sle the crist of the Lord?
David di l' konsa: -Bon. Ki jan ou fè pa t' pè leve men ou sou wa Bondye chwazi a pou ou rive touye l'?
15 And Dauid clepide oon of hise children, and seide, Go thou, and falle on hym. Which smoot that yong man, and he was deed.
David rele yonn nan moun li yo. Li di l' konsa: -Vini non! Touye msye. Nonm lan bay moun Amalèk la yon sèl kou, li touye l' frèt.
16 And Dauid seide to hym, Thi blood be on thin heed; for thi mouth spak ayens thee, and seide, Y killide the crist of the Lord.
David menm te di moun Amalèk la: -Se ou menm ki reskonsab sa ki rive ou la a. Se ou menm ki kondannen tèt ou lè ou di ak bouch ou se ou menm ki touye wa Bondye te chwazi a.
17 Forsooth Dauid biweilide sych a weilyng on Saul, and on Jonathas, his sone;
David pran chante pou plenn lanmò Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit Sayil la.
18 and comaundide, that thei schulden teche the sones of Juda weilyng, as it is writun in the Book of Just Men. And Dauid seyde, Israel, biholde thou, for these men that ben deed, woundid on thin hiye placis;
Li bay lòd pou yo moutre chante a bay tout moun Jida yo. Se chante banza yo. Yo jwenn li ekri nan Liv Moun ki mache dwat la.
19 the noble men of Israel ben slayn on thin hillis.
O Izrayèl, tout gwo chèf ou yo mouri sou mòn yo. Yo desann tout vanyan sòlda ou yo.
20 Hou felden stronge men? nyle ye telle in Geth, nether telle ye in the weilottis of Ascolon; lest perauenture the douytris of Filisteis be glad, lest the douytris of vncircumcidid men `be glad.
Pa kite nouvèl la rive nan lavil Gad. Pa gaye nouvèl la nan lavil Askalon, pou medam peyi Filisti yo pa fè fèt, pou pitit fi moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pa leve danse.
21 Hillis of Gelboe, neither dew nethir reyn come on you, nether the feeldis of firste fruytis be; for the scheeld of stronge men was cast awey there, the scheeld of Saul, as `if he were not anoyntid with oile.
Nou menm mòn Giboa yo, se pou nou rete san yon grenn lapli, san yon degout lawouze. Piga jaden janm pouse sou flan mòn nou yo! Paske se la yo trennen nan labou plak fè pwotèj sòlda yo, plak fè pwotèj wa Sayil la ki p'ap janm fwote ak lwil ankò.
22 Of the blood of slayn men, of the fatnesse of strong men, the arewe of Jonathas yede neuer abak, and the swerd of Saul turnede not ayen void.
Jonatan pa t' janm fè bak toutotan li pa tranpe flèch li yo nan san lènmi l' yo. Sayil pa t' janm tounen toutotan li pa t' plonje nepe l' nan vant vanyan sòlda lènmi l' yo.
23 Saul and Jonathas amyable, and fair in her lijf, weren not departid also in deeth; thei weren swiftere than eglis, strongere than liouns.
Sayil ak Jonatan, yonn te renmen lòt! Toujou ansanm nan lavi, ansanm ansanm tou nan lanmò! Pi veyatif pase malfini, pi vanyan pase lyon.
24 Douytris of Israel, wepe ye on Saul, that clothide you with fyn reed colourid in delicis, that yaf goldun ournementis to youre atyre.
Medam pèp Izrayèl yo, rele pou Sayil! Li te konn ban nou bèl rad koulè violèt ki koute byen chè, ak bèl bijou an lò pou mete sou nou.
25 Hou `felden doun stronge men in batel?
Vanyan sòlda yo mouri nan lagè! Jonatan mouri, li blayi atè plat sou ti mòn yo!
26 Jonathas was slayn in the hiye places. Y make sorewe on thee, my brother Jonathas, ful fair, `and amyable more than the loue of wymmen; as a modir loueth oon aloone sone, so Y louyde thee.
Mwen gen gwo lapenn pou ou, Jonatan, frè mwen. Jan mwen te renmen ou sa a! Jan ou menm ou te renmen m', se pa pale. Zanmitay sa a te pi bon pou mwen lontan pase renmen ankenn fanm ta ka gen pou mwen!
27 Hou therfor `felden doun stronge men, and armeris of batel perischide?
Vanyan sòlda yo mouri! Tout zam lagè yo pa vo anyen koulye a!
