1 Samyèl 24
1 Alò, lè Saül te retounen kouri dèyè Filisten yo, yo te pale l e te di: “Gade byen, David nan dezè En-Guédi a.”
When Saul was turned from ye Philistims, they told him, saying, Behold, Dauid is in the wildernes of En-gedi.
2 Alò, Saül te pran twa mil òm, byen chwazi soti nan tout Israël pou te ale chache David avèk mesye pa li yo devan Wòch a Kabrit Mawon yo.
Then Saul tooke three thousande chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seeke Dauid and his men vpon the rocks among the wilde goates.
3 Li te rive nan Pak mouton yo nan wout la, kote ki te gen yon kav; epi Saül te antre ladann pou fè poupou. Alò David avèk mesye pa li yo te chita nan pati dèyè kav la.
And hee came to the sheepecoates by the way where there was a caue, and Saul went in to do his easement: and Dauid and his men sate in the inward parts of the caue.
4 Mesye a David yo te di a li menm: “Gade byen, men jou ke SENYÈ a te di ou a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou livre lènmi ou an nan men ou, e ou va fè a li menm sa ki sanble bon pou ou’”. Alò David te leve e san fè bwi, te koupe arebò manto a Saül la.
And the men of Dauid said vnto him, See, the day is come, whereof the Lord sayde vnto thee, Beholde, I will deliuer thine enemie into thine hande, and thou shalt doe to him as it shall seeme good to thee. Then Dauid arose and cut off the lap of Sauls garment priuily.
5 Li te vin rive apre ke konsyans David te twouble li, akoz li te koupe arebò a manto Saül la.
And afterward Dauid was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lappe which was on Sauls garment.
6 Epi li te di a mesye pa li yo: “Se lwen de mwen ke akoz SENYÈ a, mwen ta fè bagay sa a mèt mwen an, onksyone a SENYÈ a, pou m ta lonje men m kont li; akoz li se yon onksyone pa SENYÈ a.”
And he said vnto his men, The Lord keepe mee from doing that thing vnto my master the Lords Anoynted, to lay mine hand vpon him: for he is the Anoynted of the Lord.
7 David te konvenk mesye pa l yo avèk pawòl sila yo, li te anpeche yo leve kont Saül. Epi Saül te leve e te kite kav la pou t al fè wout li.
So Dauid ouercame his seruants with these words, and suffered them not to arise against Saul: so Saul rose vp out of the caue and went away.
8 Alò, apre David te leve ale deyò kav la. Li te rele Saül e te di: “Mèt mwen, Wa a!” Epi lè Saül te gade dèyè li. David te bese avèk figi li atè e te fè kò l kouche nèt.
Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying, O my lorde the King. And when Saul looked behinde him, Dauid inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himselfe.
9 David te di a Saül: “Poukisa ou koute pawòl a moun k ap di: ‘Gade byen, David ap chache fè ou mal!’?
And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
10 Gade byen, jou sa a zye ou gen tan wè ke SENYÈ a te livre ou nan men m nan kav la. E kèk moun te di m touye ou, men zye m te gen pitye pou ou. Konsa mwen te di: ‘Mwen p ap lonje men m kont mèt mwen an, paske li se yon onksyone a SENYÈ a.’
Behold, this day thine eyes haue seene, that the Lord had deliuered thee this day into mine hand in the caue, and some bade me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee, and said, I will not lay mine hande on my master: for he is the Lordes Anoynted.
11 Koulye a, papa mwen, gade! Anverite, gade arebò a manto ou ki nan men m nan! Paske akoz ke m te koupe arebò manto ou a e ke m pa t touye ou, konnen e byen konprann ke nanpwen mal, ni rebelyon nan men m pou m pa t fè peche kont ou, malgre ke ou ap kache tann pou pran lavi m.
Moreouer my father, behold: behold, I say, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand: for when I cut off the lappe of thy garment, I killed thee not. Vnderstad and see, that there is neither euil nor wickednesse in mee, neither haue I sinned against thee, yet thou huntest after my soule to take it.
12 Ke SENYÈ a kapab jije antre ou menm avèk mwen e ke SENYÈ a ta pran vanjans mwen sou ou; men se pa men m k ap kont ou.
The Lord be iudge betweene thee and me, and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let not mine hand be vpon thee.
13 Tankou pwovèb a ansyen yo di: ‘Nan mechan an, mechanste sòti!’ Men se pa men mwen k ap kont ou.
According as the olde prouerbe sayeth, Wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked, but mine hand be not vpon thee.
14 Apre kilès wa Israël la vin sòti? Kilès k ap pouswiv ou? Yon chen mouri oubyen yon grenn pis?
After whom is the King of Israel come out? after whome doest thou pursue? after a dead dog, and after a flea?
15 Pou sa, SENYÈ a jije antre ou menm avèk mwen. Epi ke Li wè, Li plede ka m nan, e Li delivre mwen soti nan men ou.”
The Lord therfore be iudge, and iudge betweene thee and me, and see, and pleade my cause, and deliuer me out of thine hand.
16 Lè David te fin pale pawòl sa yo a Saül, Saül te di: “Èske sa se vwa ou, fis mwen, David?” Epi Saül te leve vwa li e te kriye.
Whe Dauid had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul sayd, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? and Saul lift vp his voice, and wept,
17 Li te di a David: “Ou pi jis pase m; paske ou te aji byen avè m, pandan mwen te aji mal avè w.
And sayd to Dauid, Thou art more righteous then I: for thou hast rendred me good, and I haue rendred thee euill.
18 Ou te deklare jodi a byen ke ou te fè m! Ke SENYÈ a te livre mwen nan men ou, men ou pa t touye mwen.
And thou hast shewed this day, that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou killedst me not.
19 Paske si yon nonm jwenn avèk lènmi li, èske l ap kite li sòti konsa? Pou sa ke Bondye kapab rekonpanse ou pou sa ou te fè m la jodi a.
For who shall finde his enemie, and let him depart free? wherefore the Lord render thee good for that thou hast done vnto me this day.
20 Alò, gade byen, mwen konnen asireman, ke ou va devni wa e ke wayòm Israël la va vin etabli nan men ou.
For now behold, I know that thou shalt be King, and that the kingdome of Israel shall be stablished in thine hand.
21 Pou sa, sèmante a mwen menm pa SENYÈ a pou ou pa retire desandan apre mwen yo e pou ou pa detwi non mwen soti lakay papa m.”
Sweare now therfore vnto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seede after me, and that thou wilt not abolish my name out of my fathers house.
22 David te sèmante konsa a Saül, e Saül te ale lakay li. Men David avèk mesye pa li yo te monte nan fò a.
So Dauid sware vnto Saul, and Saul went home: but Dauid and his men went vp vnto ye hold.
