1 Samyèl 26
1 Zifyen yo te vin kote Saül nan Guibea. Yo te di l: “Èske David pa kache nan ti mòn Hakila a, devan Jeschimon?”
The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”
2 Konsa, Saül te leve desann nan dezè Ziph la e te genyen avè l twa-mil òm Israël, byen chwazi pou chache David nan dezè Ziph la.
Then Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 Saül te fè kan nan ti mòn Hakila a, ki devan Jeschimon, akote wout la, e David te rete nan dezè a, lè li te wè ke Saül te vini dèyè li nan dezè a.
Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 Konsa, David te voye espyon yo deyò, e li te konnen san dout ke Saül t ap vini.
David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had certainly come.
5 Pou sa, David te leve pou vini nan plas kote Saül te fè kan an. Epi David te wè plas kote Saül te kouche avèk Abner, fis a Ner a, kòmandan lame li a. Saül te kouche nan mitan won kan an e pèp la te fè kan an antoure li.
Then David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around him.
6 Konsa, David te di a Achimélec, Etyen an ak Abischaï, fis a Tseruja a, frè a Joab, e li te di: “Se kilès k ap desann avè m kote Saül nan kan an?” Abischaï te di: “M ap desann avè w.”
Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?” Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”
7 Konsa, David avèk Abischaï te pwoche kote pèp la nan lannwit. Epi vwala, Saül te kouche nan dòmi anndan won kan an avèk frenn li kole nan tè kote tèt li. Epi Abner avèk pèp la te kouche antoure li.
So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay around him.
8 Alò, Abischaï te di a David: “Jodi a, Bondye gen tan livre lènmi ou an nan men ou. Pou sa, koulye a, kite mwen frape li avèk frenn nan rive jis atè ak yon sèl kou e mwen p ap frape li yon dezyèm fwa.”
Then Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time.”
9 Men David te di a Abischaï: “Pa detwi li, paske se kilès ki kab lonje men l kont onksyone a SENYÈ a e rete pa koupab?”
David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?”
10 Anplis, David te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, asireman, SENYÈ a va frape li, oswa jou li va rive pou li mouri, oswa li va tonbe nan batay e peri.
David said, “As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him; or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down into battle and perish.
11 SENYÈ a anpeche ke m ta lonje men m kont onksyone SENYÈ a. Men koulye a, souple, pran frenn ki bò kot tèt li a ak veso dlo a, epi, an ale.”
The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let’s go.”
12 Konsa, David te pran frenn nan avèk veso dlo a soti kote tèt a Saül e yo te pati. Men pèsòn pa t konnen, ni leve, paske yo tout t ap dòmi, akoz yon fon somèy ki sòti nan SENYÈ a te vin tonbe sou yo.
So David took the spear and the jar of water from Saul’s head, and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.
13 Konsa, David te travèse de lòt kote, e te kanpe sou tèt mòn nan a yon distans avèk yon gran espas antre yo.
Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain far away, a great space being between them;
14 David te rele tout moun yo ak Abner, fis a Ner a. Li te di: “Èske ou p ap reponn, Abner?” Alò, Abner te reponn: “Se kilès ou ye k ap rele wa a?”
and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, “Don’t you answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls to the king?”
15 Konsa, David te di a Abner: “Èske ou pa yon gason? Alò, se kilès ki tankou ou an Israël? Kòmsi, poukisa ou pa t veye mèt ou, wa a? Paske yon moun nan pèp la te vini detwi wa a, mèt ou a.
David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.
16 Bagay ke ou te fè a, pa bon! Jan SENYÈ a viv la, fòk ou mouri! Paske ou pa t veye mèt ou, onksyone a SENYÈ a. Konsa, koulye a, gade kote frenn a wa a ye ak veso dlo ki te kote tèt li a.”
This thing isn’t good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.”
17 Saül te rekonèt vwa a David, e te di: “Èske se vwa ou, fis mwen, David?” David te di: “Se vwa m, mèt mwen, wa a.”
Saul recognised David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”
18 Anplis li te di: “Alò, poukisa mèt mwen ap kouri dèyè sèvitè li a? Paske kisa mwen te fè? Oswa ki mal ki nan men m?
He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? What evil is in my hand?
19 Alò, pou sa, souple kite mèt mwen, wa a, koute pawòl a sèvitè li yo. Si SENYÈ a te boulvèse ou kont mwen, kite Li aksepte yon ofrann. Men si se lèzòm, modi yo ye devan SENYÈ a. Paske yo te chase mwen sòti jodi a pou fè m pa atache ankò a eritaj SENYÈ a. Yo di: ‘Ale sèvi lòt dye yo.’
Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that the LORD has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before the LORD; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to the LORD’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’
20 Alò, pou sa, pa kite san mwen tonbe atè lwen prezans SENYÈ a, paske wa Israël la te vin parèt pou chache yon sèl pis, tankou yon moun k ap fè lachas pentad nan mòn yo.”
Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
21 Alò Saül te di: “Mwen te peche. Retounen, fis mwen, David. Paske mwen p ap fè ou mal ankò, akoz lavi mwen te presye nan zye ou nan jou sa a. Gade, mwen te jwe wòl a yon enbesil e mwen te fè yon gwo erè.”
Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes today. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.”
22 David te reponn: “Gade byen, men frenn a wa a! Alò kite youn nan jennonm yo travèse vin pran l.
David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get it.
23 SENYÈ a va rekonpanse chak moun pou ladwati pa li ak fidelite li; paske SENYÈ a te livre ou nan men m jodi a. Mwen te refize lonje men m kont onksyone a SENYÈ a.
The LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because the LORD delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn’t stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed.
24 Gade byen, jan lavi ou te gen gwo valè nan zye m jodi a, konsa ke vi m ta ye nan men SENYÈ a. Ke li ta delivre mwen nan tout twoub.”
Behold, as your life was respected today in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the LORD’s eyes, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”
25 Epi Saül te di a David: “Beni se ou menm, fis mwen, David. Ou va vin reyisi anpil e ou va vin genyen.” Konsa, David te fè wout li e Saül te retounen nan plas li.
Then Saul said to David, “You are blessed, my son David. You will both do mightily, and will surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
