1 Samuel 18
1 And it happened that, when he had completed speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan adhered to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him like his own soul.
Lè David fin pale ak Sayil, kè Jonatan, pitit gason Sayil la, vin louvri pou David. Li vin renmen l' tankou li renmen tèt pa li.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not permit him to return to his father’s house.
Depi jou sa a, Sayil fè David rete ak li, li pa kite l' tounen lakay papa l' ankò.
3 Then David and Jonathan formed a pact. For he loved him like his own soul.
Jonatan mare zanmi ak David pou tout tan, paske li te renmen l' tankou li te renmen tèt pa li.
4 And Jonathan took off the coat that he was wearing, and he gave it to David, with the rest of his garments, even to his sword and bow, and even his belt.
Li wete gwo rad ki te sou li a, li bay David li ansanm ak tout bagay li te genyen, ata nepe li, banza li ak sentiwon l'.
5 Also, David went out to do everything whatsoever that Saul sent him to do, and he conducted himself prudently. And Saul set him over men of war. And he was acceptable in the eyes of the entire people, and most of all in the sight of the servants of Saul.
Chak fwa Sayil te voye David an misyon, kote li pase, li toujou reyisi. Se konsa Sayil moute l' grad, li fè l' chèf nan lame a. Sa te fè tout moun Sayil yo ansanm ak tout pèp la plezi.
6 Now when David returned, after he had struck down the Philistine, the women went out, from all the cities of Israel, leading the singing and dancing, rejoicing with timbrels and bells, so as to meet king Saul.
Sòlda yo t'ap tounen lakay yo. Lè sa a, David te fin touye sòlda Filisti a, li t'ap tounen lakay li tou. Yon bann medam soti nan tout lavil peyi Izrayèl la vin kontre wa Sayil. Yo t'ap chante, yo t'ap danse, yo t'ap jwe tanbouren, yo t'ap bat ògàn, yo t'ap chante pou fè kè moun kontan.
7 And the women sang, as they played, saying, “Saul has struck down a thousand, and David ten thousand.”
Medam yo t'ap fè fèt, yo t'ap danse, yo t'ap di: -Sayil desann mil. David desann dimil.
8 Then Saul became exceedingly angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes. And he said: “They have given David ten thousand, and to me they gave only one thousand. What is left for him, except the kingdom itself?”
Sayil pa t' renmen sa menm, li te fache. Li t'ap di: -Anhan! Yo di David touye dimil (10.000), mwen menm, yo di m' touye mil ase! Sèl bagay ki rete la a, se wa ase yo poko fè l' wa!
9 Therefore, Saul did not regard David with a good eye, from that day and thereafter.
Depi jou sa a, Sayil gade David ak move je.
10 Then, on the next day, the evil spirit from God assailed Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand, just as at every other time. And Saul held a lance in his hand.
Nan denmen, Bondye voye yon move lespri desann sou Sayil. Msye t'ap depale nan tout kay la, tankou yon moun fou. David menm t'ap jwe gita, jan li te konn fè l' chak jou a. Sayil te kenbe frenn li nan men l'.
11 And he threw it, thinking that he would be able to fix David to the wall. And David stepped aside twice, from before his face.
Sayil di nan kè l': Mwen pral kloure David sou miray la, epi li voye frenn lan an de fwa sou David. Men, chak fwa, David eskive frenn lan.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, but he had withdrawn from Saul.
Sayil te pè David anpil, paske Seyè a te vire do bay Sayil, se avèk David li te ye koulye a.
13 Therefore, Saul sent him away from himself, and he made him tribune over one thousand men. And he entered and departed in the sight of the people.
Se konsa Sayil voye David al byen lwen, li wete l' anba je l'. Li mete l' chèf sou mil sòlda. David pa t' chita menm, tout tan li te nan goumen.
14 Also, David acted prudently in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
Men, kote li pase li toujou kraze lènmi yo, paske Seyè a te kanpe avèk li.
15 And so, Saul saw that he was exceedingly prudent, and he began to be wary of him.
Sayil wè ki jan David t'ap reyisi kote l' pase, li vin pè l' pi rèd.
16 But all of Israel and Judah loved David. For he entered and departed before them.
Men, tout moun nan peyi Izrayèl ak nan peyi Jida te renmen David paske se li yo te konnen pou chèf lame a.
17 And Saul said to David: “Behold, my elder daughter, Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be a valiant man, and fight the wars of the Lord.” Now Saul was considering within himself, saying, “Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.”
Yon lè Sayil di David konsa: -Men Merab, premye pitit fi mwen an. M'ap ba ou l' pou madanm. Sèl bagay se pou fè m' wè se yon vanyan gason ki pa pè batay ou ye, se pou ou goumen tout kote Seyè a va voye ou al goumen pou li! Sayil t'ap di nan kè l': Konsa, se moun Filisti yo ki pral touye David, mwen p'ap bezwen fè l' mwen menm.
18 Then David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, and what is my father’s kinship within Israel, that I should be the son-in-law of the king?”
David di Sayil: -Kisa m' ye? Kisa m'ap fè pou m' viv? Kisa fanmi papa m' ye konsa nan peyi Izrayèl la pou m' marye ak pitit fi wa a?
19 Then it happened that, at the time when Merab, the daughter of Saul, was to be given to David, she was given to Adriel, the Meholathite, as wife.
Men, lè lè a rive pou yo te marye Merab ak David, wa a marye Merab ak Adriyèl, moun lavil Meola.
20 Now Michal, the other daughter of Saul, loved David. And this was reported to Saul, and it pleased him.
Men, Mikal, yon lòt pitit fi Sayil te genyen, te tonbe pou David. Lè y' al di Sayil sa, bagay la te fè l' plezi.
21 And Saul said, “I will give her to him, so that she may be a stumbling block to him, and so that the hand of the Philistines may be upon him.” And Saul said to David, “In two things, you shall be my son-in-law today.”
Sayil t'ap di nan kè l': M'ap bay David Mikal pou madanm. L'ap tounen yon pèlen pou li, epi moun Filisti yo va touye l'. Se konsa Sayil rele David yon dezyèm fwa, li di l': -Monchè, ou pral vin bofi mwen.
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: “Behold, you are pleasing to the king, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, be the son-in-law of the king.”
Li pale sou kote ak moun pa l' yo, li ba yo lòd pou y' al jwenn David an prive pou yo di l': Wa a kontan ou anpil, epi tout moun pa l' yo renmen ou. Se yon bon lè koulye a pou ou marye ak pitit fi wa a.
23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words to the ears of David. And David said: “Does it seem a small matter to you, to be the son-in-law of the king? I am but a poor and unimportant man.”
Se konsa y' al di David sa. David reponn yo: -Se bèl bagay pou yon moun marye ak pitit fi wa a. Men, se yon bagay ki twòp pou yon moun ki pòv, ki pa anyen tankou m'.
24 And the servants reported to Saul, saying, “David has spoken words in this manner.”
Moun Sayil yo al rapòte wa a sa David te di a.
25 Then Saul said, “Speak in this way to David: The king does not have need of any dowry, but only one hundred foreskins from the Philistine men, so that he may be vindicated from the enemies of the king.” So did Saul think to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
Epi Sayil di yo: -Men sa n'a di David: Wa a pa bezwen ou ba l' ankenn lajan pou ou marye ak pitit fi li a. Sèlman sa li ta renmen, se san po ti kòk moun Filisti. Konsa, l'a tire revanj sou lènmi li yo. Sayil te fè plan sa a pou David te ka tonbe nan men moun Filisti yo.
26 And when his servants had repeated to David the words that Saul had spoken, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David, so that he would become son-in-law of the king.
Moun Sayil yo al rapòte pawòl sa yo bay David. David te asepte kondisyon an pou li marye ak pitit fi wa a. Anvan lè a rive pou yo fè maryaj la,
27 And after a few days, David, rising up, went with the men who were under him, and he struck down two hundred men of the Philistines. And he brought their foreskins, and he counted them out for the king, so that he might be his son-in-law. And so, Saul gave to him his daughter Michal as wife.
David leve, li pati ak sòlda li yo. Li touye desan (200) moun Filisti. Li pote po ti kòk yo bay wa a. Li konte yo yonn pa yonn, li renmèt li yo san manke yonn, pou l' te ka tounen bofi wa a. Se konsa Sayil marye Mikal, pitit fi li a, ak David.
28 And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michal, the daughter of Saul, loved him.
Lè Sayil vin konprann non sèlman Seyè a te avèk David, men Mikal, pwòp pitit fi Sayil la, te renmen David tou,
29 And Saul began to fear David all the more. And Saul became the enemy of David, every day.
Sayil te vin pè David plis toujou. Depi jou sa a li te lènmi David jouk jou li mouri.
30 And the leaders of the Philistines departed. And from the beginning of their departure, David conducted himself more prudently than all the servants of Saul, and his name became exceedingly celebrated.
Lame moun Filisti yo te konn vin atake yo. Men chak fwa, nan tout chèf k'ap sèvi ak Sayil yo, se toujou David ki te resi kenbe tèt ak yo pi byen. Tout moun nan peyi a te vin konsidere l' anpil.
