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 collected all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites encamped by a fountain which [is] 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.

And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rear 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 said the princes of the Philistines, What [do] these Hebrews [here]? And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, [Is] not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell [to me] to this day?

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?

And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said to him, Make this man return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he should be an adversary to us: for with what would he reconcile himself to his master? [would it] not [be] with the heads of these 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] not this David, of whom they sung one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten 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.

Then Achish called David, and said to him, Surely, [as] the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host [is] good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee from the day of thy coming to me to this day: nevertheless the lords favor thee not.

7 Alò, pou sa, retounen ale anpè, pou ou pa fè mèt Filisten yo pa kontan.”

Therefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords 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?”

And David said to Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant, so long as I have been with thee to this day, that I may not go and 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.’

And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou [art] good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding, the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

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.”

Wherefore now rise early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye shall have risen early in the morning, and have light, depart.

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 rose early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
