1 Samuel 30
1 Or, lorsque David et ses hommes arrivèrent à Ciklag le troisième jour, les Amalécites avaient envahi le Midi et cette ville, l’avaient saccagée et livrée aux flammes.
And it was when came David and men his Ziklag on the day third and [the] Amalekite[s] they had made a raid against [the] Negev and against Ziklag and they had struck Ziklag and they had burned it with fire.
2 Ils avaient capturé les femmes qui s’y trouvaient, sans tuer personne, petit ou grand, mais avaient emmené leur prise et étaient repartis.
And they had taken captive the women who [were] in it from small and unto great not they had killed anyone and they had driven them away and they had gone to way their.
3 David et ses hommes, en arrivant dans la ville, la trouvèrent incendiée, leurs femmes et leurs enfants emmenés captifs.
And he came David and men his to the city and there! [it was] burned with fire and wives their and sons their and daughters their they had been taken captive.
4 Alors David et ceux qui l’accompagnaient, élevant la voix, pleurèrent aussi longtemps qu’ils en eurent la force.
And he lifted up David and the people which [was] with him voice their and they wept until that not [was] in them strength to weep.
5 Les deux femmes de David étaient également prisonnières, Ahinoam la Jezreélite et Abigaïl, la veuve de Nabal le Carmélite.
And [the] two [the] wives of David they had been taken captive Ahinoam the Jezreelite [woman] and Abigail [the] wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 David éprouva une grande angoisse, car le peuple voulait le lapider, chacun étant exaspéré de la perte de ses fils et de ses filles. Cependant David puisa des forces dans la pensée du Seigneur, son Dieu.
And it was distress to David exceedingly for they said the people to stone him for it was bitter [the] soul of all the people everyone on (sons his *Q(K)*) and on daughters his and he strengthened himself David in Yahweh God his.
7 Il dit au prêtre Ebiatar, fils d’Ahimélec: "Fais-moi, je te prie, avancer l’éphod." Ebiatar présenta l’éphod à David,
And he said David to Abiathar the priest [the] son of Ahimelech bring near! please to me the ephod and he brought near Abiathar the ephod to David.
8 et David consulta le Seigneur, en disant: "Dois-je poursuivre cette troupe? L’Atteindrai-je? Poursuis, répondit-il, car tu l’atteindras et tu reprendras sa capture."
And he enquired David by Yahweh saying will I pursue? after the marauding band this ¿ will I overtake it and he said to him pursue for certainly you will overtake [it] and certainly you will rescue [them].
9 David marcha avec ses six cents compagnons; parvenus au torrent de Bessor, plusieurs d’entre eux s’arrêtèrent
And he went David he and six hundred man who [were] with him and they came to [the] wadi of Besor and those [who] were left behind they remained.
10 David continua la poursuite avec quatre cents hommes, laissant en arrière deux cents hommes, trop fatigués pour traverser le torrent de Bessor.
And he pursued David he and four hundred man and they remained two hundred man who they were [too] exhausted for passing over [the] wadi of Besor.
11 On rencontra dans les champs un Egyptien, qu’on amena à David. On lui donna du pain à manger, on lui fit boire de l’eau,
And they found a man Egyptian in the open country and they took him to David and they gave to him bread and he ate and they gave to drink him water.
12 on lui fit manger une tranche de gâteau de figues et deux grappes de raisins secs, ce qui le ranima; car il n’avait point mangé de pain ni bu d’eau, pendant trois jours et trois nuits.
And they gave to him a slice of fig cake and two bunches of raisins and he ate and it returned spirit his to him for not he had eaten food and not he had drunk water three days and three nights.
13 David lui dit: "A qui appartiens-tu et d’où es-tu?" Il répondit: "Je suis un jeune Egyptien, esclave d’un Amalécite; mon maître m’a abandonné, malade que j’étais, il y a trois jours.
And he said to him David [belong] to whom? you and where? from this [are] you and he said [am] a young man Egyptian I a slave of a man Amalekite and he abandoned me master my if I was sick the day three.
14 Nous avons envahi le côté méridional des Kerêthites, le territoire de Juda, le midi de la terre de Caleb, et nous avons incendié Ciklag."
We we had made a raid [the] Negev of the Kerethite[s] and on [that] which [belongs] to Judah and on [the] Negev of Caleb and Ziklag we had burned with fire.
15 David lui dit: "Veux-tu nous conduire vers cette troupe?" Il répondit: "Jure-moi par le Seigneur que tu ne me feras pas mourir et que tu ne me livreras pas à mon maître, et je te conduirai vers cette troupe."
And he said to him David ¿ will you take down me to the marauding band this and he said swear! to me by God if you will kill me and if you will deliver up me in [the] hand of master my and I will take down you to the marauding band this.
16 Il l’y conduisit, et on les vit répandus par toute la campagne, célébrant par des festins et des danses le grand butin qu’ils avaient emporté du pays des Philistins et du pays de Juda.
And he took down him and there! [they were] spread out over [the] face of all the land eating and drinking and celebrating in all the plunder great which they had taken from [the] land of [the] Philistines and from [the] land of Judah.
17 David les tailla en pièces depuis le crépuscule jusqu’au soir du lendemain; nul d’entre eux n’échappa, à l’exception de quatre cents jeunes hommes qui s’enfuirent à dos de chameau.
And he struck down them David from the twilight and until the evening of next day their and not he escaped of them anyone that except four hundred man young man who they rode on the camels and they fled.
18 David reprit tout ce qu’avaient enlevé les Amalécites, y compris ses deux femmes.
And he rescued David all that they had taken Amalek and [the] two wives his he rescued David.
19 Rien n’y manqua, depuis la moindre capture jusqu’à la plus grande, jusqu’aux garçons et aux filles, rien du butin dont ils s’étaient emparés; tout fut ramené par David.
And not it was missing to them from the small and unto the great and unto sons and daughters and from [the] booty and unto all that they had taken for themselves everything he brought back David.
20 David prit tout le menu et le gros bétail; on fit marcher devant lui ce bétail, en proclamant: "Ceci est le butin de David!"
And he took David all the sheep and the cattle they drove [them] before the livestock that and they said this [is] [the] booty of David.
21 David arriva près des deux cents hommes qui avaient été trop harassés pour le suivre, et qu’on avait laissés près du torrent de Bessor. Ils s’avancèrent au-devant de David et de la troupe qui l’accompagnait; David s’approcha de ces hommes et s’informa de leur bien-être.
And he came David to two hundred the men who they had been [too] exhausted - for going - after David and they had left behind them at [the] wadi of Besor and they went out to meet David and to meet the people which [was] with him and he approached David the people and he asked of them to welfare.
22 Tous les méchants et mauvais sujets, parmi les hommes qui avaient suivi David, prirent alors la parole et dirent: "Puisqu’ils n’ont pas marché avec nous, nous ne devons rien leur donner du butin que nous avons repris, si ce n’est à chacun sa femme et ses enfants; qu’ils les emmènent et s’en aillent!
And he answered every man evil and worthlessness from the men who they had gone with David and they said because that not they went with me not we will give to them any of the booty which we have recovered that except everyone wife his and children his so they may lead [them] away and they may go.
23 Ne faites pas cela, mes frères, répondit David, pour la grâce que le Seigneur nous a faite en nous protégeant et en nous livrant la troupe qui était venue contre nous.
And he said David not you must do thus O brothers my [that] which he has given Yahweh to us and he has kept us and he has given the marauding band which came on us in hand our.
24 Et qui vous céderait en pareille affaire? Non, telle la part de ceux qui sont allés au combat, telle la part de qui est resté aux bagages: ils partageront également."
And who? will he listen to you to the matter this for like [the] share of - the [one who] went down in the battle and like [the] share of the [one who] remained with the baggage alike they will share.
25 De fait, à partir de ce jour, il en fit pour Israël une loi et une règle, en vigueur encore aujourd’hui.
And it was from the day that and on-wards and he made it into a statute and into a judgment for Israel until the day this.
26 De retour à Ciklag, David envoya de son butin aux anciens d’Israël, à ses amis, en disant: "C’Est votre profit du butin fait sur les ennemis du Seigneur";
And he came David to Ziklag and he sent some of the booty to [the] elders of Judah to friend his saying here! [is] for you a blessing from [the] booty of [the] enemies of Yahweh.
