2 Samyèl 1
1 Apre li te fin kraze moun Amalèk yo, David tounen lavil Ziklag. Lè sa a Sayil te deja mouri. David menm te lavil Ziklag depi de jou.
After the death of Saul, when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and had beene two dayes in Ziklag,
2 Sou twazyèm jou a, yon nonm rive soti nan kan Sayil la. Rad sou li te chire, li te gen pousyè sou tèt li pou fè wè jan li te nan gwo lapenn. Lè li rive bò kote David, li lage kò l' atè, li bese tèt li byen ba devan li.
Behold, a man came the third day out of the host from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head: and when hee came to Dauid, he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3 David mande l': -Kote ou soti? Nonm lan reponn: -Mwen chape kò m' soti nan kan moun Izrayèl yo.
Then Dauid saide vnto him, Whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, Out of the host of Israel I am escaped.
4 David di li: -Manyè di m' sa ki pase. Nonm lan reponn: -Lame pèp Izrayèl la kouri pandan batay la te mare. Gen anpil sòlda ki mouri. Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit gason l' lan, mouri tou.
And Dauid saide vnto him, What is done? I pray thee, tell me. Then he said, that the people is fled from the battel, and many of the people are ouerthrowen, and dead, and also Saul and Ionathan his sonne are dead.
5 David mande nonm ki te pote nouvèl la: -Ki jan ou fè konnen Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit li a, mouri?
And Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Howe knowest thou that Saul and Ionathan his sonne be dead?
6 Nonm lan reponn: -Mwen t'ap pase konsa sou mòn Gilboa a lè mwen wè Sayil apiye sou frenn li pou l' pa tonbe atè. Cha lagè lènmi yo ak kavalye yo te prèt pou rive sou li.
Then the yong man that tolde him, answered, As I came to mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned vpon his speare, and loe, the charets and horsemen followed hard after him.
7 Lè sa a, li voye je l' gade, li wè m', epi li rele m' vini. Mwen reponn li: Men mwen, monwa.
And when he looked backe, he saw me, and called me. And I answered, Here am I.
8 Li mande m' ki moun mwen ye. Mwen reponn li se yon moun Amalèk mwen ye.
And he said vnto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9 Lè sa a, li mande m' pou m' pwoche bò kote l' pou m' touye l', paske li te santi tèt li ap vire, atout li te gen tout konesans li sou li.
Then saide hee vnto me, I pray thee come vpon mee, and slay me: for anguish is come vpon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10 Se konsa, mwen pwoche bò kote l', mwen touye l' paske mwen te konnen tonbe li te tonbe li t'ap toujou mouri. Apre sa, mwen pran kouwòn ki te sou tèt li ak braslè ki te nan ponyèt li, mwen pote yo ba ou, mèt.
So I came vpon him, and slewe him, and because I was sure that hee coulde not liue, after that hee had fallen, I tooke the crowne that was vpon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arme, and brought them hither vnto my lord.
11 David chire rad ki te sou li sitèlman sa te fè li lapenn. Tout moun ki te la avè l' yo fè menm bagay la tou.
Then Dauid tooke hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise al the men that were with him.
12 Yo kriye, yo pran gwo lapenn pou Sayil, pou Jonatan, pitit li a, pou lame Seyè a ak pou pèp Izrayèl la, paske te gen anpil ladan yo ki te mouri nan lagè a. Yo rete san manje jouk aswè.
And they mourned and wept, and fasted vntil euen, for Saul and for Ionathan his sonne, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were slaine with the sword.
13 Apre sa, David mande jenn gason ki te pote nouvèl la: -Ki moun ou ye? Jenn gason an reponn: -Mwen se pitit yonn nan moun Amalèk ki vin rete nan peyi a.
Afterward Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Whence art thou? And hee answered, I am the sonne of a stranger an Amalekite.
14 David di l' konsa: -Bon. Ki jan ou fè pa t' pè leve men ou sou wa Bondye chwazi a pou ou rive touye l'?
And Dauid said vnto him, How wast thou not afrayd, to put forth thine hand to destroy the Anoynted of the Lord?
15 David rele yonn nan moun li yo. Li di l' konsa: -Vini non! Touye msye. Nonm lan bay moun Amalèk la yon sèl kou, li touye l' frèt.
Then Dauid called one of his yong men, and said, Goe neere, and fall vpon him. And hee smote him that he dyed.
16 David menm te di moun Amalèk la: -Se ou menm ki reskonsab sa ki rive ou la a. Se ou menm ki kondannen tèt ou lè ou di ak bouch ou se ou menm ki touye wa Bondye te chwazi a.
Then said Dauid vnto him, Thy blood be vpon thine owne head: for thine owne mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I haue slaine the Lords Anoynted.
17 David pran chante pou plenn lanmò Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit Sayil la.
Then Dauid mourned with this lamentation ouer Saul, and ouer Ionathan his sonne,
18 Li bay lòd pou yo moutre chante a bay tout moun Jida yo. Se chante banza yo. Yo jwenn li ekri nan Liv Moun ki mache dwat la.
(Also he bade them teach the children of Iudah to shoote, as it is written in the booke of Iasher)
19 O Izrayèl, tout gwo chèf ou yo mouri sou mòn yo. Yo desann tout vanyan sòlda ou yo.
O noble Israel, hee is slane vpon thy hie places: how are the mightie ouerthrowen!
20 Pa kite nouvèl la rive nan lavil Gad. Pa gaye nouvèl la nan lavil Askalon, pou medam peyi Filisti yo pa fè fèt, pou pitit fi moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pa leve danse.
Tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in the streetes of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistims reioyce, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised triumph.
21 Nou menm mòn Giboa yo, se pou nou rete san yon grenn lapli, san yon degout lawouze. Piga jaden janm pouse sou flan mòn nou yo! Paske se la yo trennen nan labou plak fè pwotèj sòlda yo, plak fè pwotèj wa Sayil la ki p'ap janm fwote ak lwil ankò.
Ye mountaines of Gilboa, vpon you be neither dewe nor raine, nor be there fieldes of offrings: for there the shielde of the mightie is cast downe, the shielde of Saul, as though he had not bene anointed with oyle.
22 Jonatan pa t' janm fè bak toutotan li pa tranpe flèch li yo nan san lènmi l' yo. Sayil pa t' janm tounen toutotan li pa t' plonje nepe l' nan vant vanyan sòlda lènmi l' yo.
The bow of Ionathan neuer turned backe, neither did the sword of Saul returne emptie from the blood of the slaine, and from the fatte of the mightie.
23 Sayil ak Jonatan, yonn te renmen lòt! Toujou ansanm nan lavi, ansanm ansanm tou nan lanmò! Pi veyatif pase malfini, pi vanyan pase lyon.
Saul and Ionathan were louely and pleasant in their liues, and in their deaths they were not deuided: they were swifter then eagles, they were stronger then lions.
24 Medam pèp Izrayèl yo, rele pou Sayil! Li te konn ban nou bèl rad koulè violèt ki koute byen chè, ak bèl bijou an lò pou mete sou nou.
Yee daughters of Israel, weepe for Saul, which clothed you in skarlet, with pleasures, and hanged ornaments of gold vpon your apparel.
25 Vanyan sòlda yo mouri nan lagè! Jonatan mouri, li blayi atè plat sou ti mòn yo!
Howe were the mightie slaine in the mids of the battel! O Ionathan, thou wast slaine in thine hie places.
26 Mwen gen gwo lapenn pou ou, Jonatan, frè mwen. Jan mwen te renmen ou sa a! Jan ou menm ou te renmen m', se pa pale. Zanmitay sa a te pi bon pou mwen lontan pase renmen ankenn fanm ta ka gen pou mwen!
Wo is me for thee, my brother Ionathan: very kinde hast thou bene vnto me: thy loue to me was wonderfull, passing the loue of women:
27 Vanyan sòlda yo mouri! Tout zam lagè yo pa vo anyen koulye a!
howe are the mightie ouerthrowen, and the weapons of warre destroyed!
