1 Samyèl 30
1 De jou apre, David rive lavil Ziklag ansanm ak mesye l' yo. Moun Amalèk yo te gen tan anvayi tout zòn Negèv nan peyi Jida. Yo te atake lavil Ziklag tou, yo te boule lavil la nèt.
And it came to pass when David and his men had entered Sekelac on the third day, that Amalec had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Sekelac, and struck Sekelac, and burnt it with fire.
2 Lèfini, yo te pran tout fanm yo ak tout rès moun ki te la yo, timoun kou granmoun, yo te pati ak yo. Yo pa t' touye pesonn, men yo te pran tout moun, yo pati ak yo al fè wout yo.
And as to the women and all things that were in it, great and small, they killed neither man nor woman, but carried them captives, and went on their way.
3 Lè David rive ak mesye l' yo, yo jwenn lavil la te boule nèt epi madanm yo, pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo pa t' la. Moun yo te pati ak yo tout.
And David and his men came into the city, and, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were carried captive.
4 David ak mesye l' yo pran rele, yo kriye jouk yo pa kapab ankò.
And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.
5 Moun yo te pati ak de madanm David yo tou, Akinoam, moun lavil Jizreyèl ak Abigayèl, madan defen Nabal, moun lavil Kamèl.
And both the wives of David were carried captive, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 David te nan gwo tèt chaje paske mesye l' yo te fache anpil deske yo te pèdi pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo, yo te fè lide touye David ak kout wòch. Men, Seyè a, Bondye li a, te ba l' kont kouraj.
And David was greatly distressed, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, each for his sons and his daughters: but David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
7 David rele Abyata, prèt la, pitit gason Akimelèk la, li di l' konsa: -Pote jile Bondye a isit ban mwen! Abyata pote jile Bondye a bay David.
And David said to Abiathar the priest the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.
8 David pale ak Seyè a, li di li: -Eske se pou m' ale dèyè bann moun sa yo? Eske m'a rapouswiv yo? Seyè a di li: -Ou mèt ale dèyè yo. W'a rapouswiv yo, epi w'a sove moun yo fè prizonye yo.
And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? and he said to him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them, and you shall surely rescue [the captives].
9 Se konsa David pati avèk sisan (600) mesye ki te avè l' yo. Lè yo rive nan ravin Bezò a, gen kèk nan mesye yo ki rete la.
So David went, he an the six hundred men with him, an they come as far as the brook Bosor, and the superfluous ones stopped.
10 David menm kontinye sou wout li avèk katsan (400) moun. Lòt desan (200) yo te rete paske yo te bouke anpil, yo pa t' gen fòs pou yo te travèse dlo Bezò a.
And he pursued them with four hundred men; and there remained behind two hundred men, who tarried on the other side of the brook Bosor.
11 Mesye ki t' ale avèk David yo jwenn yon moun peyi Lejip nan zòn lan. Yo mennen l' bay David. Yo ba li manje, yo ba li bwè.
And they find an Egyptian in the field, and they take him, and bring him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they caused him to drink water.
12 Yo ba li yon moso gato figfrans ak de grap rezen chèch. Lè li fin manje, li reprann fòs, paske depi twa jou twa nwit li pa t' manje anyen, ni li pa t' janm bwè dlo.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and he ate, and his spirit was restored in him; for he had not eaten bread, and had not drunk water three days and three nights.
13 David mande l': -Ki moun ki mèt ou? Moun ki bò ou ye? Li reponn: -Mwen se moun peyi Lejip, esklav yonn nan moun Amalèk yo. Jòdi a fè twa jou depi mèt mwen kite m' dèyè, paske mwen te malad.
And David said to him, Whose are you? and whence are you? and the young man the Egyptian said, I am the servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill three days ago.
14 Nou te anvayi zòn Negèv kote keretyen yo rete a. Apre sa, nou pase nan zòn Negèv ki nan peyi Jida a, ak zòn Negèv ki nan peyi Kalèb la. Lèfini, nou mete dife nan lavil Ziklag.
And we made an incursion on the south of the Chelethite, and on the parts of Judea, and on the south of Chelub, and we burnt Sekelac with fire.
15 David mande l': -Eske ou ka mennen nou kote bann moun sa yo ye a? Li reponn li: -Si ou pran Bondye pou temwen pou ou pwomèt mwen ou p'ap touye m', ni ou p'ap lage m' nan men mèt mwen an, m'ap mennen ou kote yo ye a.
And David said to him, Will you bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear now to me by God, that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down upon this troop.
16 Li mennen David kote moun Amalèk yo ye a. Moun Amalèk yo te gaye toupatou. Sa ki t'ap manje t'ap manje, sa ki t'ap bwè t'ap bwè. Yo t'ap fè fèt paske yo te piye anpil bagay kay moun Filisti yo ak kay moun peyi Jida yo.
So be brought him down there, and behold, they [were] scattered abroad upon the surface of the whole land, eating and drinking, and feasting by [reason of] all the great spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
17 Nan denmen, granmaten David atake yo, li goumen ak yo jouk nan aswè. Pesonn pa t' chape, an wetan katsan (400) jenn gason ki moute kèk chamo epi ki gen tan kouri ale.
And David came upon them, and struck them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted on camels, and fled.
18 David sove dènye sa moun Amalèk yo te pran nan piyay yo a. Li sove de madanm li yo tou.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his wives.
19 David mennen tout pitit fi ak tout pitit gason mesye l' yo tounen ansanm ak tout bagay moun Amalèk yo te pran nan piyay yo a. Pa t' manke anyen.
And nothing was lacking to them of great or small, either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or anything that they had taken of theirs; and David recovered all.
20 Lèfini, li pran tout bann mouton ak bèf yo tou. Mesye yo t'ap pouse bèt yo devan, yo t'ap di: -Men, tou sa David pran pou li nan batay la.
And he took all the flocks, and the herds, and led them away before the spoils: and it was said of these spoils, These [are] the spoils of David.
21 David t'ap tounen, li rive bò desan (200) mesye li te kite bò ravin Bezò a paske yo te twò fèb pou ale avè l'. Yo mache vin kontre David ansanm ak lòt mesye l' yo. David mache al jwenn yo, li di yo bèl bonjou.
And David comes to the two hundred men who were left behind that they should not follow after David, and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Bosor; and they came forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him: and David drew near to the people, and they asked him how he did.
22 Men, pami mesye ki t' ale avèk David yo, te gen kèk malveyan ak vòryen ki t'ap di: -Mesye sa yo pa t' ale avèk nou. Nou p'ap ba yo anyen nan sa nou pran an. N'ap annik renmèt yo madanm yo ak pitit yo pou y' al fè wout yo.
Then every ill-disposed and bad man of the soldiers who had gone with David, answered and said, Because they did not pursue together with us, we will not give them of the spoils which we have recovered, only let each one lead away with him his wife and his children, and let them return.
23 Men David di yo konsa: -Frè m' yo, nou pa ka fè sa ak sa Seyè a ban nou! Li pa kite anyen rive nou, li lage bann moun ki te vin piye nou yo nan men nou.
And David said, You shall not do so, after the Lord has delivered [the enemy] to us, and guarded us, and the Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against u.
24 Pesonn pa ka dakò ak sa n'ap di la a. Nou pral separe bay chak moun sa ki pou yo: sa ki te rete dèyè nan kan an ap resevwa menm kantite ak sa ki te desann al goumen.
And who will listen to these your words? for they are not inferior to us; for according to the portion of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the portion of him that abides with the baggage; they shall share alike.
25 Se konsa depi jou sa a, David fè prensip sa a tounen yon lwa. Jouk jòdi a y'ap swiv menm prensip sa a toujou nan peyi Izrayèl.
And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until this day.
26 Lè David tounen Ziklag, li pran nan bagay li te sezi nan men lènmi yo, li voye bay zanmi l' yo ki te chèf nan peyi Jida a, li di yo konsa: -Men kado mwen voye pou nou nan sa nou pran nan men lènmi Seyè yo.
And David came to Sekelac, and sent of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying, Behold [some] of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord;
27 Li voye bay moun lavil Betèl, bay moun lavil Rama nan zòn Negèv la, bay moun lavil Yati,
to those in Baethsur, and to those in Rama of the south, and to those in Gethor.
28 bay moun lavil Awoyè, bay moun lavil Sifmòt ak moun lavil Echtemoa,
And to those in Aroer, and to those in Ammadi, and to those in Saphi, and to those in Esthie,
29 bay moun lavil Rakal ak moun ki rete nan lavil branch fanmi Jerakmeyèl yo ak nan lavil moun Kayen yo,
and to those in Geth, and to those in Cimath, and to those in Saphec, and to those in Themath, and to those in Carmel, and to those in the cities of Jeremeel, and to those in the cities of the Kenezite;
30 bay moun lavil Oma, moun lavil Borachan ak moun lavil Atak,
and to those in Jerimuth, and to those in Bersabee, and to those in Nombe,
31 bay moun lavil Ebwon, bay moun ki toupatou kote David ak mesye l' yo te pase.
and to those in Chebron, and to all the places which David and his men had passed through.
