< 1 Samyèl 22 >

1 Konsa, David te kite la pou te chape rive nan kav Adullam nan. Epi lè frè li yo avèk tout lakay papa li te tande koze sa a, yo te desann bò kote li.
David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
2 Tout sila ki te nan pwoblèm yo, tout moun ki te nan gwo dèt, tout moun ki pa t kontan te vin rasanble kote li, e li te devni chèf sou yo. Alò te gen anviwon kat-san òm avèk li.
And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became captain over them; and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 Epi David te kite la pou ale Mitspé nan Moab. Li te di a wa Moab la: “Souple, kite papa m avèk manman m vin rete avèk ou jiskaske mwen konnen sa ke Bondye va fè pou mwen an.”
And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said unto the king of Moab: 'Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.'
4 Epi li te kite yo avèk wa Moab la. Yo te rete avèk li pandan tout tan ke David te nan fò a.
And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
5 Pwofèt la, Gad, te di a David: “Pa rete nan fò a. Sòti ale nan peyi Juda.” Konsa, David te sòti e te ale nan forè a nan Héreth.
And the prophet Gad said unto David: 'Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah.' Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
6 Alò Saül te tande ke David avèk mesye ki te avèk li yo te vin dekouvri. Konsa, Saül te chita nan Guibea anba pye tamaren an sou ti mòn lan avèk frenn li nan men l e tout sèvitè li yo te kanpe antoure li.
And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him; now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
7 Saül te di a sèvitè ki te kanpe antoure li yo: “Tande koulye a, O Benjamit yo! Èske fis a Jesse a, osi bannou tout chan kiltive avèk chan rezen? Èske li va fè nou tout kòmandan a dè milye e kòmandan a dè santèn?
And Saul said unto his servants that stood about him: 'Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds;
8 Paske nou tout te fè konplo kont mwen jiskaske pèsòn pa t fè m konnen lè fis mwen an te fè yon akò avèk fis a Jesse a. Nanpwen nan nou ki gen regrè pou mwen, ni ki di mwen ke fis mwen an te fòse sèvitè pa m yo kont mwen pou kouche an anbiskad, jan li ye la jodi a.”
that all of you have conspired against me, and there was none that disclosed it to me when my son made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or discloseth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?'
9 Alò, Doëg, Edomit lan, ki te kanpe akote sèvitè Saül yo te di: “Mwen te wè fis a Jesse a lè l t ap vini Nob, kote Achimélec, fis a Achithub la.
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said: 'I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10 Li te konsilte SENYÈ a pou li, li te ba li pwovizyon e li te bay li nepe Goliath la, Filisten an.”
And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.'
11 Alò, wa a te voye yon moun pou livre yon lòd prezans obligatwa pou Achimélec, prèt la, fis Achithub la, avèk tout lakay papa li, prèt ki te nan Nob yo. Epi tout te vin parèt devan wa a.
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob; and they came all of them to the king.
12 Saül te di: “Koute koulye a, fis a Achithub la.” Epi li te reponn: “Men mwen isit la, mèt mwen.”
And Saul said: 'Hear now, thou son of Ahitub.' And he answered: 'Here I am, my lord.'
13 Alò, Saül te di li: “Poukisa ou menm avèk fis a Jesse a te fè konplo kont mwen nan afè ba li pen, avèk yon nepe e konsilte avèk Bondye pou li, pou li kapab leve kont mwen e kache fè anbiskad, jan sa ye la jodi a?”
And Saul said unto him: 'Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?'
14 Alò, Achimélec te reponn wa a e te di: “Epi se kilès pami sèvitè ou yo ki fidèl tankou David, bofis menm a wa a, ki se kapitèn gad ou e onore lakay ou?
Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said: 'And who among all thy servants is so trusted as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and giveth heed unto thy bidding, and is honourable in thy house?
15 Èske se jodi a ke m fenk kòmanse konsilte Bondye pou li? Lwen de mwen, sa! Pa kite wa a fè okenn move panse sou sèvitè li a, ni okenn moun lakay papa m; paske sèvitè ou a pa konnen anyen nan afè sila a.”
Have I to-day begun to inquire of God for him? be it far from me; let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more.'
16 Men wa a te di: “Anverite, ou va mouri, Achimélec; ou menm avèk tout lakay papa ou!”
And the king said: 'Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.'
17 Epi wa a te di a gad ki te okipe li yo: “Vire mete prèt SENYÈ a a lanmò, akoz men yo avèk David e akoz yo te konnen ke li te sove ale e yo pa t revele sa a mwen menm.” Men sèvitè a wa yo pa t vle lonje men yo pou atake prèt SENYÈ yo.
And the king said unto the guard that stood about him: 'Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me.' But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
18 Alò, wa a te di a Doëg: “Ou menm vire atake prèt yo.” Epi Doëg, Edomit lan, te vire atake prèt yo e te touye katre-ven-senk òm ki te abiye ak efòd len an.
And the king said to Doeg: 'Turn thou, and fall upon the priests.' And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
19 Epi li te frape Nob, vil prèt yo avèk lam nepe, ni gason, ni fanm, ni timoun ni bebe, ansanm avèk bèf, bourik ak mouton avèk lam nepe.
And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
20 Men youn nan fis Achimélec yo ki te rele Abiathar te chape sove ale pou twouve David.
And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
21 Abiathar te di David ke Saül te touye prèt SENYÈ yo.
And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the LORD'S priests.
22 Alò, David te di a Abiathar: “Mwen te konnen nan jou sa a, lè Doëg, Edomit lan, te la, ke li t ap byensi pale ak Saül. Mwen te fè rive lanmò a chak moun lakay papa ou yo.
And David said unto Abiathar: 'I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul; I have brought about the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
23 Rete avèk mwen. Pa pè. Moun ki vle touye ou a ap eseye touye mwen tou. Ou va ansekirite avèk mwen.”
Abide thou with me, fear not; for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life; for with me thou shalt be in safeguard.'
