1 Samyèl 21
1 Alò, David te rive Nob, vè Achimélec, prèt la. Achimélec te parèt tou tranble lè l te rankontre David, e li te mande li: “Poukisa se ou sèl e pa gen moun avèk ou?”
And David comes to Nomba to Abimelech the priest: and Abimelech was amazed at meeting him, and said to him, Why [are] you alone, and nobody with you?
2 David te di a Achimélec, prèt la: “Wa a te ban m yon komisyon konsènan yon afè e li te di mwen: ‘Pa kite pèsòn konnen anyen sou afè ke m ap voye ou a. Se sou sila mwen ap pase ba ou lòd la; mwen te dirije mesye yo a yon sèten plas.’
And David said to the priest, The king gave me a command today, and said to me, Let no one know the matter on which I send you, an concerning which I have charged you: and I have charged my servants [to be] in the place that is called, The faithfulness of God, Phellani Maemoni.
3 Konsa, kisa ou gen nan men ou? Ban m senk moso pen oswa nenpòt sa ou kab twouve.”
And now if there are under your hand five loaves, give into my hand what is ready.
4 Prèt la te reponn David, e te di: “Nanpwen pen òdinè, men gen pen konsakre; si sèlman mesye yo te kenbe tèt yo lwen fanm.”
And the priest answered David, and said, There are no common loaves under my hand, for I have none but holy loaves: if the young men have been kept at least from women, then they shall eat [them].
5 David te reponn prèt la e te di li: “Asireman, fanm yo te kenbe lwen de nou kòm dabitid lè m konn pati. Kò a mesye yo te sen, malgre li te yon vwayaj òdinè. Konbyen anplis jodi a kò yo va sen?”
And David answered the priest, and said to him, Yes, we have been kept from women for three days: when I came forth for the journey all the young men were purified; but this expedition is unclean, therefore it shall be sanctified this day because of my weapons.
6 Konsa, prèt la te ba li pen konsakre a, paske pa t gen pen la sof ke pen Prezans ki te retire soti devan SENYÈ a, pou l ta kab ranplase li avèk pen cho menm lè ke li te retire.
So Abimelech the priest gave him the show bread; for there were no loaves there, but only the presence loaves which had been removed from the presence of the Lord, in order that hot bread should be set on, on the day on which he took them.
7 Alò, youn nan sèvitè a Saül yo te la nan jou sa a, fèmen devan SENYÈ a. Non li se te Doëg, Edomit la, chèf a bèje Saül yo.
And there was there on that day one of Saul's servants detained before the Lord, and his name [was] Doec the Syrian, tending the mules of Saul.
8 David te di a Achimélec: “Alò, èske pa gen yon frenn oswa yon nepe ki disponib? Paske mwen pa t mennen ni nepe mwen, ni zam mwen avè m, akoz afè wa a te tèlman ijan.”
And David said to Abimelech, See if there is here under your hand spear or sword, for I have not brought in my hand my sword or my weapons, for the word of the king was urgent.
9 Alò, prèt la te di: “Nepe Goliath la, Filisten an, ke ou te touye nan vale Ela a. Gade byen, li vlope nan yon twal dèyè efòd la. Si ou vle li, pran l. Paske nanpwen lòt sof ke li menm isit la.” Epi David te di: “Nanpwen lòt tankou li. Ban mwen li.”
And the priest said, Behold the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck in the valley of Ela; and it is wrapt in a cloth: if you will take it, take it for yourself, for there is no other except it here. And David said, Behold, there is none like it; give it me.
10 Alò, David te leve e te sove ale kite Saül nan jou sa a pou te ale vè Akisch, wa a Gath la.
And he gave it him; and David arose, and fled in that day from he presence of Saul: and David came to Anchus king of Geth.
11 Men sèvitè a Akisch yo te di li: “Èske sa se pa David, wa a peyi a? Èske yo pa t konn chante a sila a pandan yo t ap danse, e t ap di: ‘Saül te touye dè milye pa li e David dè di-milye pa li?’”
And the servants of Anchus said to him, [Is] not this David the king of the land? Did not the dancing women begin the son to him, saying, Saul has struck his thousand, and David his ten thousands?
12 David te swiv pawòl sa yo nan kè l e te pè Akisch, wa Gath la anpil.
And David laid up the words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Anchus king of Geth.
13 Konsa, li te kache bon tèt li devan yo e te aji tankou moun fou pandan li te nan men yo. Li te ekri pa aza yon bann mak sou pòtay avèk pòt yo e te kite krache desann sou bab li.
And he changed his appearance before him, and feigned himself a false character in that day; and drummed upon the doors of the city, and used extravagant gestures with his hands, and fell against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard.
14 Akisch te di a sèvitè li yo: “Gade byen, ou wè mesye a ap aji tankou yon moun fou. Poukisa ou mennen li kote mwen?
And Anchus said to his servants, Behold! you see the man [is] mad: why have you brought him in to me?
15 Èske mwen manke moun fou, pou ou te mennen sila a pou aji tankou moun fou nan prezans mwen? Èske sila a va antre lakay mwen?”
[Am] I in lack of madmen, that you have brought him in to me to play the madman? He shall not come into the house.
