1 Samyèl 30
1 Alò, li vin rive lè David avèk mesye pa li yo te vini Tsiklag nan twazyèm jou a, ke Amalekit yo te fè yon atak sou Negev ak sou Tsiklag pou te detwi Tsiklag e te brile li avèk dife.
On the third day David and his men arrived in Ziklag, and the Amalekites had raided the Negev, attacked Ziklag, and burned it down.
2 Anplis, yo te pran an kaptivite fanm ki te ladann yo, ni piti ni gran, san touye pèsòn, yo te pran yo e ale fè wout yo.
They had taken captive the women and all who were there, both young and old. They had not killed anyone, but had carried them off as they went on their way.
3 Lè David avèk mesye li yo te vini nan vil la, vwala, li te brile avèk dife. Madanm yo ak fis pa yo e fi pa yo te pran an kaptivite.
When David and his men came to the city, they found it burned down and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
4 Alò David avèk moun ki te avè l yo te leve vwa yo e te kriye jiskaske yo pa t gen fòs nan yo pou kriye.
So David and the troops with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no strength left to weep.
5 Alò, de madanm a David yo te pran an kaptivite, Achinoam, Jizreyelit la ak Abigaïl, vèv Nabal la, Kamelit la.
David’s two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel, had been taken captive.
6 Anplis ke sa David te nan gwo pwoblèm akoz moun yo t ap pale afè lapide li, paske tout moun yo te anmè, yo tout akoz fis yo ak fi yo. Men David te ranfòse li menm nan SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
And David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of every man grieved for his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
7 David te di a Abiathar, prèt la, fis Achimélec la: “Souple, pote ban m efòd la.” Konsa, Abiathar te pote efòd la bay David.
Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought it to him,
8 David te fè demann SENYÈ a. Li te mande: “Èske mwen dwe swiv bann mouton sa a? Èske mwen va gen tan jwenn yo?” Epi Li te reponn li: “Swiv yo, paske ou va anverite, jwenn yo, e ou va sove tout.”
and David inquired of the LORD: “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” the LORD replied, “for you will surely overtake them and rescue the captives.”
9 Konsa, David te ale, li ansanm avèk sis-san mesye ki te avèk li yo. Yo te rive kote ravin Besor a, kote sila ki te kite dèyè yo te rete a.
So David and his six hundred men went to the Brook of Besor, where some stayed behind
10 Men David te kontinye pouswiv, li menm avèk kat-san mesye yo. Paske lòt de-san nan yo ki te twò bouke pou travèse ravin Besor a, te rete.
because two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the brook. But David and four hundred men continued in pursuit.
11 Konsa, yo te twouve yon Ejipsyen nan chan an e yo te mennen li kote David. Yo te ba li pen pou li te manje e yo te bay li dlo pou l bwè.
Now his men found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David. They gave the man water to drink and food to eat—
12 Yo te ba li yon mòso gato fig etranje ak de grap rezen pou li te manje. Epi lespri li te vin leve, paske li pa t manje ni bwè dlo pandan twa jou ak twa nwit.
a piece of a fig cake and two clusters of raisins. So he ate and was revived, for he had not had any food or water for three days and three nights.
13 David te mande li: “Pou kilès ou ye? Kibò ou sòti?” Li te di: “Mwen se yon jennonm ki sòti an Égypte, sèvitè a yon Amalekit. Mèt mwen te kite m dèyè lè m te tonbe malad twa jou pase.
Then David asked him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” “I am an Egyptian,” he replied, “the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me three days ago when I fell ill.
14 Nou te fè yon atak nan Negev a Keretyen yo ak sou sa ki apatyen a Juda a ak nan Negev pou Caleb la; epi nou te brile Tsiklag avèk dife.”
We raided the Negev of the Cherethites, the territory of Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned down Ziklag.”
15 Konsa, David te mande li: “Èske ou va mennen mwen desann kote lame sila a?” Li te reponn: “Sèmante a mwen menm pa Bondye pou ou pa touye mwen ni livre mwen nan men a mèt mwen an, epi mwen va mennen ou desann kote lame sa a.”
“Will you lead me to these raiders?” David asked. And the man replied, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hand of my master, and I will lead you to them.”
16 Lè li te mennen li desann, vwala, yo te gaye nan tout tè a, yo t ap manje, bwè e danse akoz tout gran piyaj ke yo te pran nan peyi Filisten avèk peyi Juda yo.
So he led David down, and there were the Amalekites spread out over all the land, eating, drinking, and celebrating the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
17 David te fè masak sou yo soti nan aswè jis rive nan pwochen jou a. Nanpwen yon nonm nan yo ki te chape, sof kat-san jennonm ki te monte sou chamo pou te sove ale.
And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped, except four hundred young men who fled, riding off on camels.
18 Konsa, David te reprann tout sa ke Amalekit yo te pran yo, e te livre reprann de madanm li yo.
So David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives.
19 Men anyen ki te pou yo pa t manke, ni piti, ni gran, fis oswa fi, piyaj, oswa nenpòt sa ke yo te pran pou yo menm; David te mennen tout retounen.
Nothing was missing, young or old, son or daughter, or any of the plunder the Amalekites had taken. David brought everything back.
20 Konsa, David te vin kaptire tout mouton ak bèf ki te pouse devan lòt bèt yo, epi yo te di: “Sa se piyaj a David.”
And he recovered all the flocks and herds, which his men drove ahead of the other livestock, calling out, “This is David’s plunder!”
21 Lè David te rive kote de-san mesye ki te twò bouke pou swiv David yo, sa yo ki te rete kote ravin Besor yo te parèt pou rankontre David avèk moun ki te avèk li yo. David te pwoche pèp la pou te salye yo.
When David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him from the Brook of Besor, they came out to meet him and the troops with him. As David approached the men, he greeted them,
22 Alò, tout mesye mechan yo avèk sanzave yo pami sila ki te ale avèk David yo te di: “Akoz yo pa t ale avèk nou, nou p ap bay yo anyen nan piyaj ke nou te reprann an, sof a chak mesye, madanm yo avèk pitit yo pou yo kapab mennen yo ale sòti.”
but all the wicked and worthless men among those who had gone with David said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered, except for each man’s wife and children. They may take them and go.”
23 Alò, David te di: “Fòk nou pa fè sa, frè m yo, avèk sa ke SENYÈ a te bannou, ki te kenbe nou e livre nan men nou lame a ki te vini kont nou an.
But David said, “My brothers, you must not do this with what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiders who came against us.
24 Epi se kilès ki va koute ou nan afè sila a? Paske jan pòsyon a sila ki te desann nan batay la, se menm jan an pòsyon pa l ki rete avèk pwovizyon yo. Yo va separe menm jan an.”
Who will listen to your proposal? The share of the one who went to battle will match the share of the one who stayed with the supplies. They will share alike.”
25 Se konsa ke li te ye depi nan jou sa a, ke li te fè l vin yon prensip ak yon règleman ke yo va separe menm jan an.
And so it has been from that day forward. David established this statute as an ordinance for Israel to this very day.
26 Alò, lè David te vini Tsiklag, li te voye nan piyaj la kote ansyen a Juda yo, a zanmi li yo, e li te di: “Gade byen, yon kado pou nou soti nan piyaj a lènmi a SENYÈ yo.”
When David arrived in Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, “Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
27 Li te voye l a sila ki te Béthel yo, sila ki te Ramoth a Negev la ak sila ki te Jatthir yo,
He sent gifts to those in Bethel, Ramoth Negev, and Jattir;
28 anplis, a sila ki te Aroër yo, a sila ki te Siphmoth yo ak sila ki te Eschthemoa yo,
to those in Aroer, Siphmoth, and Eshtemoa;
29 epi a sila ki te Racal yo, sila ki te nan vil a Jerachmeyelit yo ak sila ki te nan vil a Kenyen yo,
to those in Racal and in the cities of the Jerahmeelites and Kenites;
30 epi a sila ki te Horma yo, a sila ki te Cor-Aschan yo ak sila ki te Athac yo,
to those in Hormah, Bor-ashan, and Athach;
31 epi a sila ki te Hébron yo, ak tout zòn kote David li menm avèk mesye li yo te abitye rete yo.
and to those in Hebron and in all the places where David and his men had roamed.
