1 Samyèl 18
1 Lè David fin pale ak Sayil, kè Jonatan, pitit gason Sayil la, vin louvri pou David. Li vin renmen l' tankou li renmen tèt pa li.
And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
2 Depi jou sa a, Sayil fè David rete ak li, li pa kite l' tounen lakay papa l' ankò.
And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
3 Jonatan mare zanmi ak David pou tout tan, paske li te renmen l' tankou li te renmen tèt pa li.
And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
4 Li wete gwo rad ki te sou li a, li bay David li ansanm ak tout bagay li te genyen, ata nepe li, banza li ak sentiwon l'.
and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 Chak fwa Sayil te voye David an misyon, kote li pase, li toujou reyisi. Se konsa Sayil moute l' grad, li fè l' chèf nan lame a. Sa te fè tout moun Sayil yo ansanm ak tout pèp la plezi.
And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
6 Sòlda yo t'ap tounen lakay yo. Lè sa a, David te fin touye sòlda Filisti a, li t'ap tounen lakay li tou. Yon bann medam soti nan tout lavil peyi Izrayèl la vin kontre wa Sayil. Yo t'ap chante, yo t'ap danse, yo t'ap jwe tanbouren, yo t'ap bat ògàn, yo t'ap chante pou fè kè moun kontan.
And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
7 Medam yo t'ap fè fèt, yo t'ap danse, yo t'ap di: -Sayil desann mil. David desann dimil.
and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
8 Sayil pa t' renmen sa menm, li te fache. Li t'ap di: -Anhan! Yo di David touye dimil (10.000), mwen menm, yo di m' touye mil ase! Sèl bagay ki rete la a, se wa ase yo poko fè l' wa!
And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
9 Depi jou sa a, Sayil gade David ak move je.
And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
10 Nan denmen, Bondye voye yon move lespri desann sou Sayil. Msye t'ap depale nan tout kay la, tankou yon moun fou. David menm t'ap jwe gita, jan li te konn fè l' chak jou a. Sayil te kenbe frenn li nan men l'.
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
11 Sayil di nan kè l': Mwen pral kloure David sou miray la, epi li voye frenn lan an de fwa sou David. Men, chak fwa, David eskive frenn lan.
and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
12 Sayil te pè David anpil, paske Seyè a te vire do bay Sayil, se avèk David li te ye koulye a.
And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
13 Se konsa Sayil voye David al byen lwen, li wete l' anba je l'. Li mete l' chèf sou mil sòlda. David pa t' chita menm, tout tan li te nan goumen.
and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
14 Men, kote li pase li toujou kraze lènmi yo, paske Seyè a te kanpe avèk li.
And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
15 Sayil wè ki jan David t'ap reyisi kote l' pase, li vin pè l' pi rèd.
and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
16 Men, tout moun nan peyi Izrayèl ak nan peyi Jida te renmen David paske se li yo te konnen pou chèf lame a.
and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
17 Yon lè Sayil di David konsa: -Men Merab, premye pitit fi mwen an. M'ap ba ou l' pou madanm. Sèl bagay se pou fè m' wè se yon vanyan gason ki pa pè batay ou ye, se pou ou goumen tout kote Seyè a va voye ou al goumen pou li! Sayil t'ap di nan kè l': Konsa, se moun Filisti yo ki pral touye David, mwen p'ap bezwen fè l' mwen menm.
And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
18 David di Sayil: -Kisa m' ye? Kisa m'ap fè pou m' viv? Kisa fanmi papa m' ye konsa nan peyi Izrayèl la pou m' marye ak pitit fi wa a?
And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
19 Men, lè lè a rive pou yo te marye Merab ak David, wa a marye Merab ak Adriyèl, moun lavil Meola.
And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
20 Men, Mikal, yon lòt pitit fi Sayil te genyen, te tonbe pou David. Lè y' al di Sayil sa, bagay la te fè l' plezi.
And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
21 Sayil t'ap di nan kè l': M'ap bay David Mikal pou madanm. L'ap tounen yon pèlen pou li, epi moun Filisti yo va touye l'. Se konsa Sayil rele David yon dezyèm fwa, li di l': -Monchè, ou pral vin bofi mwen.
and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
22 Li pale sou kote ak moun pa l' yo, li ba yo lòd pou y' al jwenn David an prive pou yo di l': Wa a kontan ou anpil, epi tout moun pa l' yo renmen ou. Se yon bon lè koulye a pou ou marye ak pitit fi wa a.
And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
23 Se konsa y' al di David sa. David reponn yo: -Se bèl bagay pou yon moun marye ak pitit fi wa a. Men, se yon bagay ki twòp pou yon moun ki pòv, ki pa anyen tankou m'.
And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
24 Moun Sayil yo al rapòte wa a sa David te di a.
And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
25 Epi Sayil di yo: -Men sa n'a di David: Wa a pa bezwen ou ba l' ankenn lajan pou ou marye ak pitit fi li a. Sèlman sa li ta renmen, se san po ti kòk moun Filisti. Konsa, l'a tire revanj sou lènmi li yo. Sayil te fè plan sa a pou David te ka tonbe nan men moun Filisti yo.
And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 Moun Sayil yo al rapòte pawòl sa yo bay David. David te asepte kondisyon an pou li marye ak pitit fi wa a. Anvan lè a rive pou yo fè maryaj la,
And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
27 David leve, li pati ak sòlda li yo. Li touye desan (200) moun Filisti. Li pote po ti kòk yo bay wa a. Li konte yo yonn pa yonn, li renmèt li yo san manke yonn, pou l' te ka tounen bofi wa a. Se konsa Sayil marye Mikal, pitit fi li a, ak David.
and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
28 Lè Sayil vin konprann non sèlman Seyè a te avèk David, men Mikal, pwòp pitit fi Sayil la, te renmen David tou,
And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
29 Sayil te vin pè David plis toujou. Depi jou sa a li te lènmi David jouk jou li mouri.
and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
30 Lame moun Filisti yo te konn vin atake yo. Men chak fwa, nan tout chèf k'ap sèvi ak Sayil yo, se toujou David ki te resi kenbe tèt ak yo pi byen. Tout moun nan peyi a te vin konsidere l' anpil.
And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
