< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 And David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech trembled at meeting David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
David ale lakay Akimelèk, prèt la, nan lavil Nòb. Akimelèk soti vin kontre l', li te tou ap tranble. Li di l' konsa: -Poukisa ou vin pou kont ou, san moun avè ou?
2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a business, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business whereon I send thee, and what I have commanded thee; and I have directed the young men to such and such a place.
David reponn li: -Wa a voye m' regle yon bagay pou li. Li di m' pa kite pesonn konnen sa li voye m' fè a. Pou moun ki avè m' yo, mwen ba yo randevou yon kote.
3 And now what is under thy hand? give me five loaves in my hand, or what may be found.
Bon, koulye a, kisa ou gen la a pou moun manje? Ban m' senk pen ou nenpòt lòt sa ou genyen.
4 And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
Prèt la di l': -Mwen pa gen pen òdinè la a non. Sèl sa mwen genyen se pen yo mete apa pou Bondye. Mwen ka ba ou li, si ou konnen mesye ou yo pa nan anyen ak fanm depi kèk jou.
5 And David answered the priest and said to him, Yes indeed, women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the [bread] is in a manner common, and the more so, because to-day [new] is hallowed in the vessels.
David reponn li: -Se toujou konsa, lè nou nan misyon, nou pa nan anyen ak fanm menm. Sou pwen sa a, depi m'ap soti ak mesye m' yo, li te mèt pou yon misyon òdinè, mesye m' yo fèt pou toujou nan kondisyon pou yo fè sèvis Bondye, ale wè fwa sa a se pou yon misyon espesyal.
6 And the priest gave him holy [bread]; for there was no bread there but the shew-loaves that were taken from before Jehovah, to put on hot bread in the day when they were taken away.
Se konsa prèt la pran nan pen yo te mete apa pou Bondye yo, li ba li paske sèl sa li te genyen se pen yo te ofri bay Bondye chak jou a. Yo te fèk wete yo sou tab la devan Seyè a pou yo te mete lòt pen fre.
7 (Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah; and his name was Doeg, the Edomite, chief of the shepherds that [belonged] to Saul.)
Men jou sa a, Doèg, yon moun peyi Edon, yonn nan domestik Sayil yo, te la tou, paske li te gen yon bèt pou l' te ofri pou Seyè a. Se li ki te chèf tout gadò mouton Sayil yo.
8 And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, for the king's business was urgent.
David di Akimelèk ankò: -Eske ou gen yon frenn osinon yon nepe la a ou ka ban mwen? Paske, wa a te ban m' lòd pou m' te pati prese prese, mwen pa t' gen tan pran ni nepe mwen, ni ankenn lòt zam.
9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of terebinths, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if thou wilt take that, take it; for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that: give it me.
Akimelèk di li: -Mwen gen nepe Golyat, sòlda Filisti ou te touye nan Fon Bwadchenn lan. Men li la dèyè Bwat kontra a, li vlope nan yon moso twal. Si ou vle l', ou mèt pran l'. Se sèl zam ki gen isit la. David di li: -Ban mwen li non! Pa gen pi bon pase l'.
10 And David arose, and fled that day from before Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Lèfini, David pati, li sove pou Sayil, l' ale lakay Akich, wa lavil Gat la.
11 And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul has smitten his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
Moun wa Akich yo di wa a konsa: -Se pa David sa, wa peyi a? Se pou li medam yo te fè chante yo t'ap chante lè yo t'ap danse a, chante ki di: Sayil desann mil! David desann dimil!
12 And David took to heart these words, and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Pawòl sa yo te aji anpil sou David. Li vin pè Akich, wa lavil Gat la.
13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
Li pran pòz moun fou li devan yo tout. Li aji tankou yon moun fou lè yo mete men sou li. Li pran fè grabji ak dwèt li sou pòt yo, li kite bave koule sou tout bab li.
14 And Achish said to his servants, Behold, ye see the man is mad: why did ye bring him to me?
Lè sa a, Akich di moun li yo: -Nou pa wè se yon moun fou? Poukisa nou mennen l' ban mwen?
15 have I lack of madmen, that ye have brought this one to rave in my presence? shall this [man] come into my house?
Mwen pa gen kont moun fou avè m' deja? Poukisa nou mennen sa a ankò vin plede fè tenten andedan lakay mwen an?
