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 told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they rob 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.”
Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save 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 said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies 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.”
Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine 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 and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew therewith a great slaughter. So David saved 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 came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an 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 Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath 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 summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, 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 devised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
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.
Then said David, O LORD, the God of Israel, thy servant hath surely heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
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 men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD, the God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come 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.”
Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee 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.
Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
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 abode in the wilderness in the strong holds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not 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 saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.
16 Epi Jonathan, Fis a Saül la, te leve ale kote David nan Horès pou te ankouraje li nan Bondye.
And Jonathan Saul’s son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened 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 he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
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 they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went 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?
Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in the strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
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.”
Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.
21 Saül te di: “Ke ou kapab beni pa SENYÈ a, paske ou te gen kè sansib anvè mwen.
And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have had compassion 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.
Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, [and] who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.
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.”
See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me of a certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out among 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 arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
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 told David: wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard [that], he pursued after David in 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 went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
27 Men yon mesaje te vin kote Saül, e te di: “Fè vit! Vini! Paske Filisten yo te atake peyi a.”
But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon 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 pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.
29 David te monte soti la a pou te rete nan fòterès En-Guédi yo.
And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strong holds of En-gedi.
