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 they declare to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling 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 inquires of YHWH, saying, “Do I go? And have I struck among these Philistines?” And YHWH says to David, “Go, and you have struck among the Philistines, and saved Keilah.”
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 David’s men say to him, “Behold, we here in Judah are afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, to the ranks 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 adds again to inquire of YHWH, and YHWH answers him and says, “Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand.”
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.
And David goes, and his men, to Keilah, and fights with the Philistines, and leads away their livestock, and strikes among them [with] a great striking, and David saves the inhabitants of Keilah.
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 comes to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech to David, to Keilah, an ephod came down 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 is declared to Saul that David has come to Keilah, and Saul says, “God has made him known for my hand, for he has been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and bar.”
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 summons all the people to the battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege to David and to 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 knows that Saul is devising the evil against him and says to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod near.”
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 says, “YHWH, God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah, 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.”
Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand? Does Saul come down as Your servant has heard? YHWH, God of Israel, please declare [it] to Your servant.” And YHWH says, “He comes down.”
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 David says, “Do the possessors of Keilah shut up me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And YHWH says, “They shut [you] 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 rises—and his men—about six hundred men, and they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up and down; and it has been declared to Saul that David has escaped from Keilah, and he ceases to go out.
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 David abides in the wilderness, in fortresses, and abides in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and Saul seeks him [for] all the days, and God has not given him into his hand.
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 sees that Saul has come out to seek his life, and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.
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 rises, and goes to David [in the] forest, and strengthens his hand in God,
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 says to him, “Do not fear, for the hand of my father Saul does not find you, and you reign over Israel, and I am to you for second, and also so knows my father Saul.”
18 Konsa, yo de a te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a. Epi David te rete Horès pandan Jonathan te ale lakay li a.
And both of them make a covenant before YHWH; and David abides in the forest, and Jonathan has gone to his house.
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 go up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the desolate place?
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, by all the desire of your soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand of the king.”
21 Saül te di: “Ke ou kapab beni pa SENYÈ a, paske ou te gen kè sansib anvè mwen.
And Saul says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, for you have pity on me;
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.
now go prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who has seen him there? For [one] has said to me, He is very cunning.
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.”
And see and know of all the hiding places where he hides himself, and you have turned back prepared to me, and I have gone with you, and it has been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through all the thousands of Judah.”
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 they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the south of the desolate place.
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 go to seek, and they declare [it] to David, and he goes down the rock, and abides in the wilderness of Maon; and Saul hears, and pursues 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 goes on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hurried to go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are surrounding David and his men, to catch them.
27 Men yon mesaje te vin kote Saül, e te di: “Fè vit! Vini! Paske Filisten yo te atake peyi a.”
And a messenger has come to Saul, saying, “Hurry, and come, for the Philistines have pushed against 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.
And Saul turns back from pursuing after David, and goes to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place “The Rock of Divisions.”
29 David te monte soti la a pou te rete nan fòterès En-Guédi yo.
And David goes up there, and abides in fortresses [at] En-gedi.
