1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah, saying: “Behold, David is hidden on the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite the wilderness.”
Moun ki rete nan dezè Zif yo al jwenn Sayil lavil Gibeya, yo di l': -Men David kache sou ti mòn Akila a, sou limit dezè peyi Jida a.
2 And Saul rose up, and he descended into the desert of Ziph, and with him three thousand elect men of Israel, so that he might seek David in the desert of Ziph.
Sayil pati lamenm avèk twamil (3000) sòlda nan pi bon sòlda peyi Izrayèl la. Li desann nan dezè Zif la al dèyè David.
3 And Saul encamped at Gibeah on Hachilah, which was opposite the wilderness on the way. But David was living in the desert. Then, seeing that Saul had arrived after him in the wilderness,
Li moute kan li sou ti mòn Akila a, toupre wout la, sou limit dezè a. David menm te nan dezè a toujou. Lè li vin konnen Sayil te vin dèyè l' nan dezè a,
4 he sent explorers, and he learned that he certainly had arrived in that place.
li voye kèk espyon. Yo vin di l' Sayil te desann vre nan dezè a.
5 And David rose up secretly, and he went to the place where Saul was. And when he had seen the place where Saul was sleeping, and Abner, the son of Ner, the leader of his military, and Saul sleeping in a tent, and the remainder of the common people all around him,
David leve, li pati pou kote Sayil te moute kan lame li a. Li gade pozisyon kote Sayil ak kòmandan lame li a, Abnè, pitit gason Nè a, te kouche. Sayil te kouche nan mitan, tout sòlda yo te kouche bò kote l'.
6 David spoke to Ahimelech, the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, saying, “Who will descend with me to Saul in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will descend with you.”
David pale ak Akimelèk, moun peyi Et la, ak Abichayi, frè Joab, pitit gason Sewouya a, li di yo: -Kilès nan nou de a ki ta vle desann avè m' nan kan Sayil la? Abichayi reponn: -M'ap desann avè ou.
7 Therefore, David and Abishai went to the people by night, and they found Saul lying down and sleeping in the tent, with his spear fixed in the ground at his head. And Abner and the people were sleeping all around him.
Se konsa, jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit, David ak Abichayi rive nan kan an. Yo wè Sayil kouche ap dòmi nan mitan kan an, frenn li te plante nan tè a bò tèt li. Abnè ak tout rès sòlda yo te kouche bò kote l' ap dòmi tou.
8 And Abishai said to David: “God has enclosed your enemy this day in your hands. Now therefore, I will pierce him with my lance, through to the ground, once, and there will not need to be a second.”
Abichayi di David konsa: -Aswè a Seyè a lage lènmi ou lan nan men ou vre. Koulye a, kite m' kloure l' atè a ak pwòp frenn li a. Yon sèl kou ap ase. Mwen p'ap bezwen frape l' de fwa.
9 And David said to Abishai: “You shall not kill him. For who may extend his hand against the Christ of the Lord, and yet be innocent?”
Men, David di Abichayi konsa: -Pa leve men sou li. Seyè a p'ap manke pini moun ki va leve men l' sou wa li menm li te chwazi a.
10 And David said: “As the Lord lives, unless the Lord himself will strike him, or unless his day to die will have arrived, or unless, descending into battle, he will perish,
Apre sa, David di: -Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè ki vivan an, se Seyè a menm ki pou touye l'. L'a mouri lè lè pou l' mouri a va rive, osinon l'a mouri nan lagè.
11 may the Lord be gracious to me, so that I may not extend my hand against the Christ of the Lord. Now therefore, take the spear that is at his head, and the cup of water, and let us go.”
Mande Bondye padon non! Mwen p'ap leve men m' sou wa Seyè a te chwazi a. Ann pran frenn li a ak krich dlo ki bò tèt li a. Epi ann ale.
12 And so, David took the spear, and the cup of water that was at Saul’s head, and they went away. And there was no one who saw it, or realized it, or awakened, but they were all sleeping. For a deep sleep from the Lord had fallen over them.
David pran frenn lan ak krich dlo ki te bò tèt Sayil la, epi yo ale. Pesonn pa t' wè sa, pesonn pa t' konnen sa ki te rive. Pesonn pa t' leve nan dòmi an. Yo te dòmi nèt ale, paske Seyè a te fè yon gwo dòmi pran yo.
13 And when David had crossed over to the opposite side, and had stood upon the top of the hill far away, so that there was a great interval between them,
Lè sa a, David janbe lòt bò fon an, li kanpe sou tèt ti mòn lan, byen lwen ak yon bèl distans nan mitan li ak lame a.
14 David cried out to the people, and to Abner, the son of Ner, saying, “Will you not respond, Abner?” And responding, Abner said, “Who are you, that you would cry out and disquiet the king?”
Li pran rele sòlda yo ak Abnè, pitit gason Nè a, li di yo konsa: -Abnè o! Eske ou tande mwen? Abnè reponn: -Kilès k'ap rele nan zòrèy wa a konsa?
15 And David said to Abner: “Are you not a man? And who else is like you in Israel? Then why have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people entered, so that he might kill the king, your lord.
David di li: -Se pa gason ou ye? Ki moun ki ka koresponn avè ou nan peyi Izrayèl la? Poukisa ou pa pwoteje wa a, mèt ou, pi byen? Talè a, gen yon moun ki antre nan kan an ak lide pou l' te touye wa a.
16 This is not good, what you have done. As the Lord lives, you are sons of death, because you have not guarded your lord, the Christ of the Lord. Now therefore, where is the king’s spear, and where is the cup of water that was at his head?”
Li pa bon non sa ou fè a. Ou manke sou travay ou, Abnè. Mwen fè sèman devan Bondye ki vivan an, nou tout nou merite yo touye nou. Paske nou pa pwoteje mèt nou, wa Seyè a te chwazi a! Gade non! Kote frenn wa a? Kote krich dlo ki te bò tèt li a?
17 Then Saul recognized the voice of David, and he said, “Is this not your voice, my son David?” And David said, “It is my voice, my lord the king.”
Sayil rekonèt vwa David, li di: -David, pitit mwen, se ou menm pa vre? David di li: -Se mwen wi, monwa!
18 And he said: “For what reason has my lord pursued his servant? What have I done? Or what evil is there in my hand?
Apre sa, li di ankò: -Chèmèt mwen, poukisa w'ap pousib mwen konsa, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la? Kisa m' fè? Ki krim mwen fè?
19 Now therefore, listen, I beg you, my lord the king, to the words of your servant. If the Lord has stirred you up against me, let him make the sacrifice fragrant. But if the sons of men have done so, they are accursed in the sight of the Lord, who has cast me out this day, so that I would not live within the inheritance of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve strange gods.’
Koulye a, monwa, tanpri koute sa m'ap di ou. Si se Seyè a ki moute tèt ou kont mwen, al fè yon ofrann ba li pou li ka chanje lide l'. Men, si se moun k'ap fè ou fè sa, se pou madichon Seyè a tonbe sou yo! Koulye a, yo mete m' deyò nan peyi a pou m' pèdi pòsyon pa m' nan tè Seyè a te bay pèp li a, yo voye m' al sèvi lòt bondye.
20 And now, let not my blood be poured out upon the earth before the Lord. For the king of Israel has gone out, so that he might seek a flea, just as the partridge is pursued amid the mountains.”
Pa kite yo touye m' nan peyi etranje byen lwen Seyè a! Poukisa pou wa Izrayèl la leve tout lame a pou l' chache touye yon ti pis tankou m'? Poukisa pou l' ap kouri dèyè m' nan tout mòn yo tankou lè moun ap fè lachas ranmye!
21 And Saul said: “I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will never again do evil to you, because my life has been precious in your eyes this day. For it is apparent that I have acted senselessly, and have been ignorant of very many things.”
Sayil reponn: -Sa m' fè a mal. Tounen non, David, pitit mwen. Mwen p'ap janm chache fè ou mal paske ou refize touye m' aswè a ankò. Wi, mwen te aji tankou moun fou, mwen te fè yon bagay ki pa bon menm.
22 And responding, David said: “Behold, the king’s spear. Let one of the servants of the king cross over and take it.
David reponn li: -Monwa, men frenn ou an. Fè yonn nan moun ou yo janbe vin chache l'.
23 And the Lord will repay each one according to his justice and faith. For the Lord has delivered you this day into my hand, but I was not willing to extend my hand against the Christ of the Lord.
Seyè a va bay chak moun sa yo merite, dapre jan yo mache devan li, dapre jan yo kenbe pwomès yo. Jòdi a, li te lage ou nan men m'. Men, mwen pa fè ou anyen, mwen pa leve men m' sou wa Seyè a te chwazi a.
24 And just as your soul has been magnified this day in my eyes, so let my soul be magnified in the eyes of the Lord, and may he free me from all distress.”
Menm jan mwen te gen respè pou ou jòdi a, m' pa touye ou, mwen mande Seyè a pou l' fè menm bagay la pou mwen tou, lèfini pou l' wete m' nan tout tèt chaje sa yo.
25 Then Saul said to David: “You are blessed, my son David. And whatever you may do, it shall certainly succeed.” And David departed on his way. And Saul returned to his place.
Sayil di David: -Se pou Bondye beni ou, pitit gason mwen! Se pou tou sa w'ap fè mache byen! Apre sa, David al fè wout li, Sayil menm tounen lakay li.
