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.
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
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.
And had taken the women captives, that [were] therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and 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.
So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, [it was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
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.
Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Alò, de madanm a David yo te pran an kaptivite, Achinoam, Jizreyelit la ak Abigaïl, vèv Nabal la, Kamelit la.
And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
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; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself 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.
And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
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 enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
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 went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
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.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
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.
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
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.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk [any] water, 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.
And David said unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
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 made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
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.”
And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
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.
And when he had brought him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of 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 smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
18 Konsa, David te reprann tout sa ke Amalekit yo te pran yo, e te livre reprann de madanm li yo.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued 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.
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
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 David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David’s spoil.
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.
And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted 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.”
Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.
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.
Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
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.”
For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part 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 it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this 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.”
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
27 Li te voye l a sila ki te Béthel yo, sila ki te Ramoth a Negev la ak sila ki te Jatthir yo,
To [ them] which [were] in Beth-el, and to [them] which [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] which [were] in Jattir,
28 anplis, a sila ki te Aroër yo, a sila ki te Siphmoth yo ak sila ki te Eschthemoa yo,
And to [them] which [were] in Aroer, and to [them] which [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] which [were] in 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,
And to [them] which [were] in Rachal, and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] which [were] in the cities of the Kenites,
30 epi a sila ki te Horma yo, a sila ki te Cor-Aschan yo ak sila ki te Athac yo,
And to [them] which [were] in Hormah, and to [them] which [were] in Chor-ashan, and to [them] which [were] in 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 [them] which [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
