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.

And the Philistines gather all their camps to Aphek, and the Israelites are encamping at 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 princes of the Philistines are passing on by hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men are passing 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?”

And the heads of the Philistines say, 'What [are] these Hebrews?' and Achish saith unto the heads of the Philistines, 'Is not this David servant of Saul king of Israel, who hath been with me these days or these years, and I have not found in him anything [wrong] from the day of his falling away till 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 heads of the Philistines are wroth against him, and the heads of the Philistines say to him, 'Send back the man, and he doth turn back unto his place whither thou hast appointed him, and doth not go down with us into battle, and is not to us for an adversary in battle; and wherewith doth this one reconcile himself unto his lord — is it not with the heads of those 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 answer in choruses, saying, Saul hath smitten among his thousands, and David among his myriads?'

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.

And Achish calleth unto David, and saith unto him, 'Jehovah liveth, surely thou [art] upright, and good in mine eyes is thy going out, and thy coming in, with me in the camp, for I have not found in thee evil from the day of thy coming in unto me till this day; and in the eyes of the princes thou art not good;

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

and now, turn back, and go in peace, and thou dost do no evil in the eyes of the princes 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 saith unto Achish, 'But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee till this day — that I go not in and have fought 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 answereth and saith unto David, 'I have known that thou [art] good in mine eyes as a messenger of God; only, the princes of the Philistines have said, He doth not go up with us into 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.”

and now, rise thou early in the morning, and the servants of thy lord who have come with thee, when ye have risen early in the morning, and have light, then go ye.'

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.

And David riseth early, he and his men, to go in the morning, to turn back unto the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel.
