1 Samyèl 19
1 Sayil pale ak Jonatan ansanm ak chèf k'ap sèvi avè l' yo, li di yo li fè lide touye David. Men Jonatan, pitit gason Sayil la, te renmen David anpil.
Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,
2 Li fè David konnen sa. Li di l': -Sayil, papa m', ap chache touye ou. Denmen maten, rete sou prigad ou. Al kache kò ou yon kote. Pa soti menm.
so he warned David, saying, “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there.
3 Mwen menm, m'ap soti, mwen pral jwenn papa m' nan jaden kote ou kache a, m'a pale sou ou ak li. Jan l' reponn mwen, m'a fè ou konnen.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.”
4 Jonatan t'ap bay bèl pawòl pou David devan papa l', li t'ap di konsa: -Monwa, piga ou fè David, sèvitè ou la, anyen. Li menm, li pa janm fè ou anyen. Tou sa li fè toujou sèvi ou.
Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you.
5 Li riske lavi li lè l' al touye sòlda Filisti a. Se konsa Seyè a te delivre tout pèp la, se te bèl bagay. Ou te wè sa, ou te kontan. Poukisa koulye a ou ta renmen wè malè rive yon moun inonsan, ou ta vle touye David san l' pa fè anyen?
He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 Sayil koute Jonatan, li fè sèman, li di l': -Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a ki vivan, yo p'ap touye David.
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”
7 Jonatan rele David, li rapòte l' tout pawòl sa yo. Apre sa, li mennen David bay Sayil. Epi David tanmen sèvi wa a ankò jan li te konn fè anvan an.
So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul to serve him as he had before.
8 Lagè pete ankò ak moun Filisti yo. David leve al atake yo, li goumen ak yo, li bat yo byen bat, li fè yo kouri met deyò devan li.
When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.
9 Yon jou Seyè a voye yon move lespri ki desann sou Sayil. Sayil te chita lakay li, li te kenbe frenn li nan men l'. David menm t'ap jwe mizik.
But as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, a spirit of distress from the LORD came upon him. While David was playing the harp,
10 Sayil t'ap chache kloure David nan miray la ak frenn li, men David eskive kò l', epi frenn lan al antre nan miray la. David kouri chape kò l'. Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit,
Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But the spear struck the wall and David eluded him, ran away, and escaped that night.
11 Sayil voye kèk espyon al veye kay David la pou yo te touye l' nan maten. Men, Mikal, madan David, avèti mari l'. Li di l': -Si ou pa chape poul ou lannwit lan, denmen maten ou mouri.
Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and kill him in the morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him, “If you do not run for your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!”
12 Li fè David soti nan yon fennèt. David kouri, li chape kò l'.
So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.
13 Lè sa a, Mikal pran yon zidòl wogatwa, li mete l' kouche sou kabann lan, li pran yon zòrye fèt ak plim kabrit, li mete l' nan plas tèt la, epi li kouvri tout ak yon dra.
Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.
14 Lè moun Sayil yo vin pou pran David, Mikal di yo David kouche malad.
When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
15 Men, Sayil voye mesye yo tounen pou y' al wè David ak je yo. Li di yo: -Mennen l' isit ban mwen ak tout kabann li an pou m' fè touye l'.
But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so I can kill him.”
16 Lè mesye yo antre anndan kay la, yo jwenn estati zidòl wogatwa a sou kabann lan ak zòrye plim kabrit la kote pou tèt la te ye a.
And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair on its head.
17 Sayil di Mikal konsa: -Poukisa ou woule m' konsa? Ou kite lènmi mwen an chape. Mikal reponn li: -Li te di m' si m' pa kite l' chape, l'ap touye m'!
And Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away and he has escaped!” Michal replied, “He said to me, ‘Help me get away, or I will kill you!’”
18 David menm kouri chape kò l', l' al jwenn Samyèl lavil Rama. Li rakonte l' tou sa Sayil te fè l'. Apre sa, li menm ansanm ak Samyèl y' ale rete lavil Najòt.
So David ran away and escaped. And he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
19 Y' al di Sayil men David te lavil Najòt nan zòn Rama a.
When Saul was told that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
20 Sayil voye kèk moun al arete l'. Lè yo rive, yo wè yon gwoup pwofèt ki te gen lespri Bondye a nan tèt yo, avèk Samyèl kanpe devan yo tankou chèf yo. Lamenm lespri Bondye a desann nan tèt moun Sayil te voye yo, epi yo pran fè menm bagay ak pwofèt yo.
he sent messengers to capture him. But when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to prophesy.
21 Yo vin di Sayil sa. Lè sa a, li voye lòt moun ankò. Yo menm tou, yo pran fè menm bagay ak pwofèt yo tou. Yon twazyèm fwa, Sayil voye lòt moun ankò. Yo menm tou, yo pran fè menm bagay ak pwofèt yo.
When this was reported to Saul, he sent more messengers, but they began to prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and even they began to prophesy.
22 Lè sa a, Sayil leve, l' ale li menm lavil Rama. Lè li rive bò gwo sitèn dlo ki lavil Sekou a, li mande kote Samyèl ak David ye. Yo di l' yo lavil Najòt nan zòn Rama a.
Finally, Saul himself left for Ramah and came to the large cistern at Secu, where he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “At Naioth in Ramah,” he was told.
23 Li pati dèyè yo. Antan l'ap mache konsa, lespri Bondye a desann nan tèt li tou. Li t'ap fè menm bagay ak pwofèt yo sou tout wout la, jouk li rive devan lavil Najòt nan zòn Rama a.
So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. But the Spirit of God came upon even Saul, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Li wete tout rad sou li, li fè tankou pwofèt yo devan Samyèl. Apre sa, li tonbe atè a toutouni. Li rete tout rès jounen an ak tout lannwit lan atè a konsa. Se depi lè sa a, yo di: Menm Sayil gen lè pwofèt tou?
Then Saul stripped off his robes and also prophesied before Samuel. And he collapsed and lay naked all that day and night. That is why it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
