1 Samyèl 22
1 David kite lavil Gat, li sove, l' al kache nan yon gwòt toupre lavil Adoulam. Lè frè l' yo ak rès fanmi li vin konn sa, yo tout desann al jwenn li la.
Then David went away from there, and he fled to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all of his father’s house had heard of it, they descended to him there.
2 Lè sa a, tout moun ki te gen pwoblèm, tout moun ki te dwe lajan, tout moun ki pa t' kontan sitiyasyon an vin jwenn li. David vin chèf yo. Te gen katsan (400) gason konsa antou.
And all those left in distress, or oppressed by debt to strangers, or bitter in soul, gathered themselves to him. And he became their leader, and about four hundred men were with him.
3 David kite kote l' te ye a, l' ale lavil Mispa nan peyi Moab. Epi li di wa Moab la: -Tanpri, kite papa m' ak manman m' vin rete isit la lakay ou, jouk mwen rive konnen sa Bondye vle fè avè m'.
And David set out from there to Mizpah, which is of Moab. And he said to the king of Moab, “I beg you, let my father and my mother remain with you, until I know what God will do for me.”
4 Se konsa David mennen papa l' ak manman l' lakay wa Moab la. Yo rete la pandan tout tan David te rete kache nan gwòt la.
And he left them before the face of the king of Moab. And they stayed with him for all the days that David was in the stronghold.
5 Yon pwofèt yo rele Gad vin di David: -Piga ou rete nan gwòt la. Pati koulye a. Ale nan peyi Jida! David pati vre, l' al nan rakbwa Erèt la.
And the prophet Gad said to David: “Do not choose to stay in the stronghold. Set out and go into the land of Judah.” And so, David set out, and he went into the forest of Hereth.
6 Sayil menm te lavil Gibeya, chita anba pye tonmaren ki sou mòn lan, avèk frenn li nan men l'. Tout chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo te kanpe la bò kote l'. Li te pran nouvèl moun te vin konnen kote David ak mesye l' yo te ye.
And Saul heard that David, and the men who were with him, had been seen. Now while Saul was staying in Gibeah, and while he was in the forest that is in Ramah, holding a spear in his hand, with all his servants standing around him,
7 Epi Sayil di chèf ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo: -Nou menm fanmi Benjamen yo, koute! Eske nou mete nan lide nou David, pitit gason Izayi a, pral ban nou jaden ak pye rezen tou? Eske l'ap fè nou kaptenn ak chèf nan lame li a?
he said to his servants who were assisting him: “Listen now, you sons of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give to all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make all of you tribunes or centurions,
8 Se poutèt sa nou tout n'ap fè konplo sou mwen. Nou yonn pa di m' pwòp pitit gason m' lan te koupe kontra ak David, pitit gason Izayi a? Pa gen yonn nan nou ki pran lapenn pou mwen. Pesonn pa vin di m' pitit gason mwen an ap moute tèt David sou do mwen, yon moun ki t'ap sèvi avè m', epi ki koulye a ap chache mwayen pou li touye m'.
so that you would all conspire against me, and so that there is no one to inform me, especially when even my son has formed a pact with the son of Jesse? There is no one among you who grieves for my situation, or who would report to me. For my son has raised up my servant against me, seeking to betray me, even to this day.”
9 Doèg, moun peyi Edon an ki te chèf tout moun k'ap travay ak Sayil yo, di l' konsa: -Mwen te wè David, pitit gason Izayi a lè li t' ale lavil Nòb, lakay Akimelèk, pitit gason Akitoub la.
Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was standing near, and who was first among the servants of Saul, responding, said: “I saw the son of Jesse, in Nob, with Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, the priest.
10 Akimelèk te pale ak Seyè a pou David. Apre sa, li bay David kèk pwovizyon ansanm ak nepe Golyat, sòlda Filisti a.
And he consulted the Lord for him, and he gave him food. Moreover, he gave him the sword of Goliath, the Philistine.”
11 Se konsa, wa a voye rele Akimelèk, prèt la, pitit gason Akitoub la, ansanm ak tout fanmi l' yo ki te prèt tou nan lavil Nòb. Yo tout moute kay wa a.
Then the king sent to summon Ahimelech, the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all of his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob, and they all came before the king.
12 Sayil di Akimelèk: -W'ap tande m', pitit gason Akitoub la? Akimelèk reponn li: -M'ap tande ou wi, monwa!
And Saul said to Ahimelech, “Listen, son of Ahitub.” He responded, “Here I am, lord.”
13 Sayil mande l': -Poukisa ou mete tèt ou ansanm ak David, pitit gason Izayi a, pou nou fè konplo sou mwen? Poukisa ou ba li pwovizyon ansanm ak yon nepe? Poukisa ou pale ak Seyè a pou li? Koulye a, men li leve dèyè m', l'ap chache okazyon pou li touye m'.
And Saul said to him: “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse? For you gave him bread and a sword, and you consulted the Lord for him, so that he might rise up against me, continuing as a traitor even to this day.”
14 Akimelèk reponn li: -Nan tout moun k'ap sèvi avè ou yo, pa gen yonn ki renmen ou tankou David. Se bofi ou li ye, li fè pati gad kò ou yo. Tout moun lakay ou respekte l'.
And responding to the king, Ahimelech said: “But who among all your servants is as faithful as David? And he is the son-in-law of the king, and he goes forth at your order, and he is a glory within your house.
15 Se pa jòdi a premye fwa mwen pale ak Seyè a pou li, mande Bondye padon. Monwa, ou pa bezwen akize ni mwen ni pesonn nan fanmi m' n'ap fè konplo sou ou. Mwen pa konn anyen sou koze sa a, monwa!
Did I begin to consult the Lord for him today? May this be far from me! Let not the king suspect this kind of thing against his servant, nor against anyone in all my father’s house. For your servant did not know anything about this matter, either small or great.”
16 Wa a di l' konsa: -Akimelèk, yo pral touye ou, ou menm ansanm ak tout fanmi ou yo.
And the king said, “You shall die a death, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”
17 Lèfini, li di gad ki te kanpe bò kote l' yo: -Touye prèt Seyè yo. Yo menm tou y'ap fè konplo ak David la. Yo te konnen byen pwòp se sove msye t'ap sove, yo pa di m' anyen. Men gad yo refize leve men yo sou prèt Seyè a pou touye yo.
And the king said to the emissaries who were standing around him: “You shall turn, and put to death the priests of the Lord. For their hand is with David. They knew that he had fled, and they did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king were not willing to extend their hands against the priests of the Lord.
18 Lè sa a, Sayil di Doèg: -Ou menm, touye prèt yo: Epi Doèg touye yo tout. Jou sa a, li touye katrevensenk prèt Seyè a.
And the king said to Doeg, “You shall turn and rush against the priests.” And Doeg, the Edomite, turned and rushed against the priests. And he massacred, on that day, eighty-five men, vested with the linen ephod.
19 Sayil fè touye tout moun ki te rete nan Nòb, lavil prèt yo: fanm kou gason, timoun, ti bebe nan tete, ansanm ak bèf, bourik, ak mouton. Yo touye tout.
Then he struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword; he struck down men and women, little ones and infants, as well as ox and donkey and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 Sèl Abyata, yonn nan pitit gason Akimelèk yo, te resi chape kò l'. Li kouri l' al jwenn David.
But one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, whose name was Abiathar, escaping, fled to David.
21 Li rakonte David ki jan Sayil te masakre tout prèt Seyè yo.
And he reported to him that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.
22 David di l' konsa: -Depi mwen te wè Doèg, nèg peyi Edon an, la, mwen te konnen li pa t'ap pa di Sayil sa. Se mwen menm ki reskonsab lanmò tout fanmi ou yo.
And David said to Abiathar: “I knew, on that day when Doeg, the Edomite was there, that without doubt he would report it to Saul. I am guilty of all the souls of your father’s house.
23 Ou mèt rete avè m'. Ou pa bezwen pè. Koulye a Sayil pral chache touye ni ou ni mwen. Bò kote m', anyen p'ap rive ou.
You should remain with me. Do not be afraid. For he who seeks my life, seeks your life also, but with me you shall be saved.”
