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 came to Ziklag on the third day, that, the Amalekites, had made a raid into the South, and into Ziklag, and had smitten Ziklag, and burned 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 had taken captive the women and all who were therein, from small even unto great, they had not put one to death, —but had driven them forth, and gone 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.
So, when David and his men came to the city, lo! it was burnt with fire, —and, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
4 David ak mesye l' yo pran rele, yo kriye jouk yo pa kapab ankò.
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice, and wept, —until they had no more strength 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, the two wives of David, had been taken captive, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, 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 in sore distress, for the people had spoken of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were embittered, every man for his own sons and for his own daughters, —but David emboldened himself in Yahweh 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.
Then said David to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, Do bring near me, I pray thee, the ephod. So Abiathar brought near the ephod, unto David.
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 Yahweh, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake it? And he said unto him: Pursue, for thou shalt, overtake, and thou shalt, rescue.
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, and the six hundred men, who were with him, and they came in as far as the ravine of Besor, —where, they who had to be left behind, stayed.
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.
But David pursued, he. and four hundred men, —but the two hundred men stayed, because they were too wearied to cross over the ravine of Besor.
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 found an Egyptian in the field, and took him unto David, —and gave him food, and he did eat, and they gave him water to drink;
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 two cakes of raisins, and, when he had eaten, his spirit came back unto him, —for he had neither eaten food, nor 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.
Then David said to him—Whose art thou? and whence art thou? And he said, A young man of Egypt, am I, servant to an Amalekite, and my lord left me behind, because I fell sick, 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.
As for us, we invaded the South of the Cherithites, and against that which pertaineth unto Judah, and against the South of Caleb, —and, Ziklag, burned we 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 unto him, Wilt thou bring me down unto this troop? And he said—Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not put me to death, neither wilt thou surrender me into the hand of my lord, and I will bring thee down unto 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 he brought him down, and lo! they were left to themselves over the face of all the land, —eating, and drinking, and dancing around, for all the great spoil which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
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 smote them, from the closing twilight even unto the evening of the next day, —and there escaped not of them a man, save four hundred young men who rode upon 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 rescued all whom the Amalekites had taken, —his two wives also, did David rescue;
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 there was nothing missing to them—whether small or great, whether spoil, or sons or daughters, or, any thing which they had taken unto themselves, —the whole, did David recover.
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 David took all the flocks and the herds, —they drave them before those other cattle, and they said, This, is David’s spoil.
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 came unto the two hundred men, who had been too wearied to follow David, and whom they had suffered to remain at the ravine of Besor, —and they came forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him, and when David came near unto the people, they enquired of his success.
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 responded every man who was bad and abandoned, from among the men who had been with David, and said—Because they went not with me there shall not be given them of the spoil that we have rescued, —save, to every man, his wife and his children, let them put them forth, then, and go.
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.
Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, —with that which Yahweh hath given to us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
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.
Who indeed, could hearken unto you, in this mutter? Surely, like the share of him that went down into the battle, even, so, shall be the share of him that remained by the stores—alike, shall they share.
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 so it came to pass, from that day forward, that he appointed it, for a statute and for a custom unto 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, when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil, unto the elders of Judah, unto his friends, saying, —Lo! for you, a blessing, out of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh:
27 Li voye bay moun lavil Betèl, bay moun lavil Rama nan zòn Negèv la, bay moun lavil Yati,
to them who were in Bethel, and to them who were in Ramoth of the South, and to them who were in Jattir,
28 bay moun lavil Awoyè, bay moun lavil Sifmòt ak moun lavil Echtemoa,
and to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them who were in Eshtemoa,
29 bay moun lavil Rakal ak moun ki rete nan lavil branch fanmi Jerakmeyèl yo ak nan lavil moun Kayen yo,
and to them who were in Racal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerameelites, and to them who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 bay moun lavil Oma, moun lavil Borachan ak moun lavil Atak,
and to them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Cor-ashan, and to them who were in Athach,
31 bay moun lavil Ebwon, bay moun ki toupatou kote David ak mesye l' yo te pase.
and to them who were in Hebron, —and to all the places where David had been to and fro, he and his men.
