1 Samyèl 19
1 Alò, Saül te pale Jonathan, fis li a ak tout sèvitè li yo pou mete David a lanmò. Men Jonathan fis a Saül la te fè kè kontan anpil akoz David.
And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
2 Pou sa, Jonathan te pale David. Li te di: “Papa m vle mete ou a lanmò. Pou sa, souple, veye anpil nan maten an. Ale nan kote kache a, e rete la.
But Jonathan Saul’s son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret [place], and hide thyself:
3 Mwen va sòti e kanpe akote papa m nan chan kote ou ye a. Mwen va pale avèk papa m selon ou menm. Epi si mwen vin konprann yon bagay, alò, mwen va di ou.”
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou [art], and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.
4 Konsa, Jonathan te pale ak Saül, papa li, kèk bon pawòl sou David. Li te di li: “Pa kite wa a peche kont sèvitè li, David. Paske li menm pa t peche kont ou; akoz zèv pa li yo, li te ede ou anpil.
And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works [have been] to thee-ward very good:
5 Paske li te pran vi li nan men l. Li te frape Filisten an, e SENYÈ a te fè rive yon gran delivrans pou tout Israël. Ou te wè e ou te rejwi. Konsa, poukisa ou ta peche kont san inosan an nan mete David a lanmò san koz?”
For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest [it], and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
6 Saül te koute vwa a Jonathan, e Saül te fè ve: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, li p ap mete a lanmò.”
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
7 Alò, Jonathan te rele David e li te di li tout pawòl sila yo. Epi Jonathan te mennen David vè Saül, e li te vin nan prezans li kòm oparavan.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
8 Lè te gen lagè ankò, David te sòti pou te goumen avèk Filisten yo, e te bat yo avèk yon gwo masak, jiskaske yo te sove ale devan li.
And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
9 Alò, te genyen yon move lespri ki sòti nan SENYÈ a sou Saül pandan li te chita lakay li avèk yon frenn nan men li, pandan David t ap jwe ap la avèk men li.
And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with [his] hand.
10 Saül te tante frennen David pou kloure li nan mi an avèk frenn nan, men li te chape kite prezans a Saül. Konsa, frenn nan te kloure nan mi lan. David te sove ale e te pran flit menm nwit sa.
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul’s presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 Saül te voye mesaje yo lakay David pou yo ta veye li, avèk entansyon pou mete l a lanmò nan maten an. Men Mical, madanm a David la te avèti li. Li te di: “Si ou pa sove lavi ou aswè a, demen ou va mete a lanmò.”
Saul also sent messengers unto David’s house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David’s wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
12 Konsa, Mical te fè David lagedesann nan yon fenèt. Li te sòti deyò e te chape ale.
So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 Mical te pran zidòl kay la e li te poze li sou kabann nan. Li te mete yon kouvèti fèt avèk plim kabrit kote tèt li e te kouvri li avèk rad.
And Michal took an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and put a pillow of goats’ [hair] for his bolster, and covered [it] with a cloth.
14 Lè Saül te voye mesaje yo pran David, li te di: “Li malad.”
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He [is] sick.
15 Alò, Saül te voye mesaje yo wè David, e li te di: “Mennen li monte kote mwen sou kabann li, pou m kab mete l a lanmò.”
And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
16 Lè mesaje yo te antre, gade byen, zidòl kay la te sou kabann nan avèk kouvèti plim kabrit la sou tèt li.
And when the messengers were come in, behold, [there was] an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats’ [hair] for his bolster.
17 Konsa, Saül te di a Mical: “Poukisa ou te twonpe m konsa e kite lènmi mwen an ale jiskaske li vin chape?” Mical te reponn Saül: “Li te di mwen, ‘Kite mwen ale! Poukisa mwen ta bezwen mete ou a lanmò?’”
And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
18 Alò David te sove ale e te chape rive vè Samuel nan Rama. Epi li te di li tout sa ke Saül te fè l. Li menm avèk Samuel te ale rete Najoth.
So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 Koze sa a te rive kote Saül ke: “Gade byen, David nan Najoth nan Rama.”
And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at Naioth in Ramah.
20 Epi Saül te voye mesaje yo pran David. Men lè yo te wè konpayi pwofèt yo ki t ap pwofetize ansanm avèk Samuel, ki te kanpe kòm dirijans sou yo, Lespri Bondye te vini sou mesaje Saül la, epi yo tou te pwofetize.
And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing [as] appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 Lè sa te pale a Saül, li te voye lòt mesaje. Epi yo menm tou te vin pwofetize. Alò, Saül te voye mesaje yon twazyèm fwa, e yo anplis te pwofetize.
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
22 Epi li menm tou te ale Rama pou kont li e te rive jis nan gran pwi ki nan Secu a. Li te pale e te di: “Kote Samuel avèk David?” Epi yon moun te di: “Veye byen, yo nan Najoth nan Rama.”
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that [is] in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And [one] said, Behold, [they be] at Naioth in Ramah.
23 Li te kontinye jis rive nan Najoth nan Rama. Konsa, Lespri Bondye te vini sou li tou jiskaske li t ap pwofetize pandan nan wout la pou rive kote Najoth nan Rama a.
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Anplis, li te retire rad li, li tou te pwofetize devan Samuel e li te kouche toutouni tout jounen an ak tout nwit lan. Pou sa, yo konn di: “Èske Saül, osi, pami pwofèt yo?”
And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
