1 Samyèl 29
1 Alò, Filisten yo te rasanble tout lame pa yo ansanm nan Aphek, pandan Izrayelit yo t ap fè kan akote sous ki nan Jizreel la.
Now the Philistines brought all their forces together at Aphek, while Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.
2 Konsa, mèt Filisten yo t ap avanse pa santèn e pa milye e David avèk mesye pa li yo t ap avanse pa dèyè avèk Akisch.
As the Philistine leaders marched out their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men marched behind them with Achish.
3 Alò, kòmandan a Filisten yo te di: “Se kisa Ebre sa yo ap fè isit la?” Epi Akisch te di a kòmandan Filisten yo: “Èske sa se pa David, sèvitè a Saül la, wa Israël la, ki te avèk mwen nan jou sa yo, oswa pito di ane sa yo, e mwen pa t twouve okenn fot nan li soti nan jou ke li te sòti a, jis jodi a?”
Then the commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, the servant of King Saul of Israel? He has been with me all these days, even years, and from the day he defected until today I have found no fault in him.”
4 Men kòmandan Filisten yo te fache avèk li. Yo te di li: “Fè nonm nan ale retounen, pou li kapab retounen nan plas li kote yo te ba li ransèyman an. Pa kite li desann nan batay la avèk nou, oswa nan batay la, li kapab devni yon lènmi nou. Paske se kilès ki ta k ap fè nonm sa a vin zanmi ak mèt li a? Èske sa pa tèt a mesye sila yo?
But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with Achish and told him, “Send that man back and let him return to the place you assigned him. He must not go down with us into battle only to become our adversary during the war. What better way for him to regain the favor of his master than with the heads of our men?
5 Èske sa se pa David, a sila yo te chante nan dans pa yo e di: ‘Saül te touye dè milye e David dè di-milye?’”
Is this not the David about whom they sing in their dances: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
6 Alò, Akisch te rele David. Li te di l: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, ladwati ou ak tout antre sòti ou avèk mwen nan lame a se yon plezi nan zye m; paske mwen pa t jwenn mal nan ou depi jou ke ou te antre kote mwen an, jis rive jodi a. Sepandan, ou pa yon plezi nan zye a lòt chèf yo.
So Achish summoned David and told him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been upright in my sight, and it seems right that you should march in and out with me in the army, because I have found no fault in you from the day you came to me until this day. But you have no favor in the sight of the leaders.
7 Alò, pou sa, retounen ale anpè, pou ou pa fè mèt Filisten yo pa kontan.”
Therefore turn back now and go in peace, so that you will not do anything to displease the leaders of the Philistines.”
8 David te di a Akisch: “Men kisa mwen te fè? Epi kisa ou te twouve nan sèvitè ou a depi nan jou ke m te vini devan ou an jis rive Jodi a, pou m pa kapab ale goumen kont lènmi a mèt mwen an, wa a?”
“But what have I done?” David replied. “What have you found against your servant, from the day I came to you until today, to keep me from going along to fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
9 Men Akisch te reponn David: “Mwen konnen ke ou se yon plezi nan zye m, tankou yon zanj Bondye! Sepandan, kòmandan Filisten yo te di: ‘Fòk li pa monte avèk nou nan batay la.’
Achish replied, “I know that you are as pleasing in my sight as an angel of God. But the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He must not go into battle with us.’
10 Alò, pou sa, leve bonè nan maten avèk sèvitè a mèt ou ki te vini avèk ou yo, e lamenm lè ou leve nan maten bonè, pati.”
Now then, get up early in the morning, along with your master’s servants who came with you, and go as soon as it is light.”
11 Konsa, David te leve bonè, li avèk mesye pa li yo, pou pati nan maten pou retounen nan peyi a Filisten yo. Epi Filisten yo te monte Jizreel.
So David and his men got up early in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
