1 Samyèl 29

1 Moun Filisti yo sanble tout sòlda yo nèt lavil Afèk. Moun Izrayèl yo menm te moute kan yo bò sous ki nan Fon Jizreyèl la.

Now all the troops of the Philistines were gathered together to Aphec: and Israel also camped by the fountain which is in Jezrahel.

2 Senk chèf moun Filisti yo te pran devan, yo t'ap mache yonn dèyè lòt ak divizyon lame yo. Yo te gen batayon san sòlda ak rejiman mil sòlda. David t'ap mache dèyè nèt avèk mesye l' yo ansanm ak Akich.

And the lords of the Philistines marched with their hundreds and their thousands: but David and his men were in the rear with Achis.

3 Lòt chèf moun Filisti yo di konsa: -Sa bann ebre sa yo ap fè la a? Akich reponn yo: -Se David, yonn nan mesye ki t'ap sèvi ak Sayil, wa pèp Izrayèl la. Li gen kèk tan depi li avè m'. Depi jou li kite wa pèp Izrayèl la pou li vin jwenn mwen, mwen pa janm jwenn anyen pou m' repwoche l' jouk jounen jòdi a.

And the princes of the Philistines said to Achis: What mean these Hebrews? And Achis said to the princes of the Philistines: Do you not know David, who was the servant of Saul the king of Israel, and hath been with me many days, or years, and I have found no fault in him, since the day that he fled over to me until this day?

4 Men, lòt chèf moun Filisti yo move sou Akich, yo di l' konsa: -Voye nonm sa a ale. Fè l' tounen nan lavil ou te ba li pou l' rete a. Pa kite l' al goumen avèk nou pou pandan batay la li pa vire sou do nou. Sa ka ba l' yon bèl okazyon pou l' touye moun nou yo, epi pou l' byen ankò ak mèt li.

But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him, and they said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he otherwise appease his master, but with our heads?

5 Lèfini, fòk nou pa bliye, se David wi. Se pou li medam yo te fè chante sa a lè yo t'ap danse a. Chante a te pati konsa: Sayil desann mil. David desann dimil.

Is not this David, to whom they sung in their dances, saying: Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

6 Akich rele David, li di l' konsa: -Mwen pran Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, ou se yon nèg serye, ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou avè m'. Se ta tout plezi m' pou m' ta toujou wè ou la avè m' nan tout antre soti m' nan batay la. Paske, depi jou ou te vin jwenn mwen an rive jòdi a, mwen pa janm jwenn anyen ou fè ki mal. Men, mesye chèf yo pa fè ou konfyans.

Then Achis called David, and said to him: As the Lord liveth, thou art upright and good in my sight: and so is thy going out, and thy coming in with me in the army: and I have not found my evil in thee, since the day that thou camest to me unto this day: but thou pleasest not the lords.

7 Konsa, tounen al lakay ou ak kè poze. Epi, piga ou janm fè anyen ki pa fè yo plezi, tande!

Return therefore, and go in peace, and offend not the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.

8 David reponn li: -Men, mèt mwen, kisa m' fè? Depi premye jou mwen prezante lakay ou pou m' sèvi ou rive jòdi a, ou pa janm jwenn anyen mwen fè ki mal. Poukisa ou pa vle mwen vin goumen bò kote ou, monwa, mèt mwen, kont lènmi ou yo?

And David said to Achis: But what have I done, and what hast thou found in me thy servant, from the day that I have been in thy sight until this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

9 Akich reponn David: -Ou pa bezwen di m' anyen! Pou mwen, ou bon tankou yon zanj Bondye. Men, sa ou vle m' fè? Lòt chèf yo di ou pa pral avèk nou nan batay la.

And Achis answering said to David: I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: but the princes of the Philistines have said: He shall not go up with us to the battle.

10 Koulye a, David, denmen maten, ou pral leve bonè bonè, ansanm ak tout mesye ki te vire do bay Sayil, mèt ou a, pou yo te vin avè ou bò isit la vin jwenn mwen. Kou bajou kase n'a pati al fè wout nou.

Therefore arise in the morning, thou, and the servants of thy lord, who came with thee: and when you are up before day, and it shall begin to be light, go on your way.

11 Konsa vre, nan denmen maten, bonè bonè David leve ansanm ak tout mesye l' yo, yo pati, yo tounen nan peyi Filisti a. Lame moun Filisti yo menm pran chemen pou yo ale Jizreyèl.

So David and his men arose in the night, that they might set forward in the morning, and returned to the land of the Philistines: and the Philistines went up to Jezrahel.
