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.
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
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.
So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden in a secret place.
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.”
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you."
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.
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
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 put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill 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.”
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."
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.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
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.
There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed them with a great slaughter; and they fled before 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.
A harmful spirit from the LORD was on Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing 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.
Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. 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 sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
12 Konsa, Mical te fè David lagedesann nan yon fenèt. Li te sòti deyò e te chape ale.
So Mikal let David down through the window. He went, 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.
Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 Lè Saül te voye mesaje yo pran David, li te di: “Li malad.”
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.”
Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
16 Lè mesaje yo te antre, gade byen, zidòl kay la te sou kabann nan avèk kouvèti plim kabrit la sou tèt li.
When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
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?’”
Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'"
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.
Now 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 lived in the dwellings.
19 Koze sa a te rive kote Saül ke: “Gade byen, David nan Najoth nan Rama.”
And it was told to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at 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 capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they 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.
When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
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.”
And Saul became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at 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.
So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings 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 and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
