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.

And the Philistines gather all their camps to Aphek, and the Israelites are encamping at a fountain which [is] in Jezreel,

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 princes of the Philistines are passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men are passing on in the rear with Achish.

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 heads of the Philistines say, 'What [are] these Hebrews?' and Achish saith unto the heads of the Philistines, 'Is not this David servant of Saul king of Israel, who hath been with me these days or these years, and I have not found in him anything [wrong] from the day of his falling away till 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.

And the heads of the Philistines are wroth against him, and the heads of the Philistines say to him, 'Send back the man, and he doth turn back unto his place whither thou hast appointed him, and doth not go down with us into battle, and is not to us for an adversary in battle; and wherewith doth this one reconcile himself unto his lord — is it not with the heads of those men?'

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, of whom they answer in choruses, saying, Saul hath smitten among his thousands, and David among his myriads?'

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.

And Achish calleth unto David, and saith unto him, 'Jehovah liveth, surely thou [art] upright, and good in mine eyes is thy going out, and thy coming in, with me in the camp, for I have not found in thee evil from the day of thy coming in unto me till this day; and in the eyes of the princes thou art not good;

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

and now, turn back, and go in peace, and thou dost do no evil in 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 saith unto Achish, 'But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee till this day — that I go not in and have fought 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 Achish answereth and saith unto David, 'I have known that thou [art] good in mine eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He doth not go up with us into 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.

and now, rise thou early in the morning, and the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, when ye have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go ye.'

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.

And David riseth early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to turn back unto the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.
