1 Samyèl 23
1 Alò, yo te pale David. Yo te di: “Gade byen, Filisten yo ap goumen kont Keïla. Y ap piyaje grenn jaden sou glasi yo.”
And it was told David, saying, behold, the Philistines war in Keila, and they rob, they trample on the threshing-floors.
2 Konsa, David te fè demann a SENYÈ a. Li te mande L: “Èske mwen dwe ale atake Filisten sila yo?” Epi SENYÈ a te reponn David: “Ale atake Filisten yo pou delivre Keïla.”
And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and strike these Philistines? And the Lord said, Go, and you shall strike these Philistines, and shall save Keila.
3 Men mesye David yo te di li: “Gade byen, nou nan perèz menm isit la nan Juda. Konbyen anplis, si nou ale Keïla kont chan Filisten yo?”
And the men of David said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judea; and how shall it be if we go to Keila? Shall we go after the spoils of the Philistines?
4 Alò, David te fè demann SENYÈ a yon lòt fwa. Epi SENYÈ a te pale li e te di: “Leve, desann Keïla; paske Mwen va livre Filisten yo nan men ou.”
And David enquired yet again of the Lord; and the Lord answered him, and said to him, Arise and go down to Keila, for I will deliver the Philistines into your hands.
5 Konsa, David avèk mesye pa li yo te ale Keïla pou te goumen avèk Filisten yo. Yo te mennen bèt yo sòti e te frape moun avèk yon gwo masak. Konsa David te delivre pèp a Keïla a.
So David and his men with him went to Keila, and fought with the Philistines; and they fled from before him, and he carried off their cattle, and struck them with a great slaughter, and David rescued the inhabitants of Keila.
6 Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Abiathar, fis Achimélec la, te sove ale pou rive kote David nan Keïla, li te desann avèk yon efòd nan men l.
And it came to pass when Abiathar the son of Achimelech fled to David, that he went down with David to Keila, having and ephod in his hand.
7 Lè yo te pale a Saül ke David te vini Keïla, Saül te di: “Bondye te delivre li nan men m. Paske li te fèmen li menm andedan lè l te antre nan yon vil avèk pòtay doub ak fè fòje.”
And it was told Saul that David was come to Keila: and Saul said, God has sold him into my hands, for he is shut up, having entered into a city that has gates and bars.
8 Konsa, Saül te konvoke tout pèp la pou fè lagè, pou desann Keïla pou fè syèj sou David avèk mesye pa li yo.
And Saul charged all the people to go down to war to Keila, to besiege David and his men.
9 Alò David te konnen ke Saül t ap fè konplo mechanste kont li. Konsa, li te di a Abithar, prèt la: “Mennen efòd la isit la.”
And David knew that Saul spoke openly of mischief against him: and David said to Abiathar the priest, Bring the ephod of the Lord.
10 Epi David te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, Sèvitè ou tande ke se sèten ke Saül ap chache vini Keïla pou detwi vil la akoz mwen menm.
And David said, Lord God of Israel, your servant has indeed heard, that Saul seeks to come against Keila to destroy the city on my account.
11 Èske mesye Keïla yo va livre mwen nan men li? Èske Saül va desann tankou sèvitè ou te tande a? O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, mwen priye, pale ak sèvitè ou a.” Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Li va desann.”
Will [the place] be shut up? And now will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Lord God of Israel, tell your servant.
12 Konsa, David te di: “Èske mesye Keïla yo va livre mwen avèk mesye pa mwen yo nan men Saül?” SENYÈ a te reponn: “Yo va livre ou.”
And the Lord said, It will be shut up.
13 Alò, David avèk mesye pa li yo, anviwon sis-san moun, te leve sòti Keïla, e yo te ale nenpòt kote ke yo ta kab ale. Lè li te pale a Saül ke David te chape Keïla, li te sispann swiv li.
And David arose, and the men with him, in number about four hundred, and they went forth from Keila, and went wherever they could go: and it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keila, and he forbore to come.
14 David te rete nan dezè a nan fòterès yo e li te rete nan peyi ti mòn dezè Ziph la. Epi Saül te chache li chak jou. Men Bondye pa t livre li nan men li.
And he lived in Maserem in the wilderness, in the narrow [passes]; and lived in the wilderness in mount Ziph, in the dry country. And Saul sought him continually, but the Lord delivered him not into his hands.
15 Alò, David te vin konprann ke Saül te parèt deyò pou chache lavi li pandan David te nan dezè Ziph la nan Horès.
And David perceived that Saul went forth to seek David; and David was in the dry mountain in the New Ziph.
16 Epi Jonathan, Fis a Saül la, te leve ale kote David nan Horès pou te ankouraje li nan Bondye.
And Jonathan son of Saul rose, and went to David to Caene, and strengthened his hands in the Lord.
17 Konsa, li te di li: “Pa pè, paske men Saül, papa m nan, p ap jwenn ou. Ou va wa sou Israël e mwen va bò kote ou; epi Saül, papa m, konnen sa tou.”
And he said to him, Fear not, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you; and you shall be king over Israel, and I shall be second to you; and Saul my father knows it.
18 Konsa, yo de a te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a. Epi David te rete Horès pandan Jonathan te ale lakay li a.
So they both made a covenant before the Lord; and David lived in Caene, and Jonathan went to his home.
19 Epi Zifyen yo te vin monte kote Saül nan Guibea, e te di: “Èske David pa kache pami nou nan fòterès nan Horès yo, sou mòn a Hakila a, ki sou kote sid a Jeschimon an?
And the Ziphites came up out of the dry country to Saul to the hill, saying, Behold, is not David hidden with us in Messara, in the narrows in Caene in the hill of Echela, which is on the right of Jessaemon?
20 Alò, koulye a, O wa, desann selon tout volonte nanm ou ta vle fè. Epi poupati pa nou an, nou va livre li nan men a wa a.”
And now [according to] all the king's desire to come down, let him come down to us; they have shut him up into the hands of the king.
21 Saül te di: “Ke ou kapab beni pa SENYÈ a, paske ou te gen kè sansib anvè mwen.
And Saul said to them, Blessed [be] you of the Lord, for you have been grieved on my account.
22 Ale, koulye a, fè byensi e fè ankèt pou wè kote li mete pye li ak sila ki konn wè li la yo; paske yo di m ke li rize anpil.
Go, I pray you, and make preparations yet, and notice his place where his foot shall be, quickly, in that place which you spoke of, lest by any means he should deal craftily.
23 Konsa, gade e aprann tout kote l kache kò l, retounen kote mwen avèk asirans e m ap prale avè w. Epi si li nan peyi a, mwen va chache mete l deyò pami tout milye Juda yo.”
Take notice, then, and learn, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass that if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Juda.
24 Epi yo te leve ale Ziph devan Saül. Alò, David avèk mesye pa li yo te nan dezè Maon, nan Araba akote sid a Jeschimon.
And the Ziphites arose, and went before Saul: and David and his men [were] in the wilderness of Maon, westward, to the right of Jessaemon.
25 Lè Saül avèk mesye pa li yo te ale chache, yo te fè David konnen. Konsa, li te desann kote wòch la pou te rete nan dezè Maon an. Epi lè Saül te tande sa, li te kouri dèyè David nan dezè Maon an.
And Saul and his men went to seek him: and they brought word to David, and he went down to the rock that was in the wilderness of Maon: and Saul heard, and followed after David to the wilderness of Maon.
26 Saül te ale yon bò mòn nan, David avèk mesye pa l sou lòt kote mòn nan. Epi David t ap fè vit pou chape kite Saül, paske Saül avèk mesye pa li yo t ap antoure David avèk mesye pa li yo pou yo ta sezi yo.
And Saul and his men go on one side of the mountain, and David and his men are on the other side of the mountain: and David was hiding himself to escape from Saul: and Saul and his men encamped against David and his men, in order to take them.
27 Men yon mesaje te vin kote Saül, e te di: “Fè vit! Vini! Paske Filisten yo te atake peyi a.”
And there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste you, and come here, for the Philistines have invaded the land.
28 Konsa, Saül te retounen soti nan kouri dèyè David pou te ale rankontre Filisten yo. Pou sa, yo te vin rele plas sa a Wòch Chape a.
So Saul returned from following after David, and went to meet the Philistines: therefore that place was called The divided Rock.
29 David te monte soti la a pou te rete nan fòterès En-Guédi yo.
And David rose up from thence, and lived in the narrow passes of Engaddi.
