< 1 Samuel 30 >

1 When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,
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.
2 and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off and went their way.
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.
3 When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
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.
4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.
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.
5 David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Alò, de madanm a David yo te pran an kaptivite, Achinoam, Jizreyelit la ak Abigaïl, vèv Nabal la, Kamelit la.
6 David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh his God.
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.
7 David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
David te di a Abiathar, prèt la, fis Achimélec la: “Souple, pote ban m efòd la.” Konsa, Abiathar te pote efòd la bay David.
8 David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
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.”
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
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.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t go over the brook Besor.
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.
11 They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
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.
12 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
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.
13 David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.
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.
14 We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
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.”
15 David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
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.”
16 When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
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.
17 David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
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.
18 David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
Konsa, David te reprann tout sa ke Amalekit yo te pran yo, e te livre reprann de madanm li yo.
19 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
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.
20 David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
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.”
21 David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.
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.
22 Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
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.”
23 Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which Yahweh has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
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.
24 Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”
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.”
25 It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
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.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of Yahweh’s enemies.”
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.”
27 He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
Li te voye l a sila ki te Béthel yo, sila ki te Ramoth a Negev la ak sila ki te Jatthir yo,
28 to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
anplis, a sila ki te Aroër yo, a sila ki te Siphmoth yo ak sila ki te Eschthemoa yo,
29 to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
epi a sila ki te Racal yo, sila ki te nan vil a Jerachmeyelit yo ak sila ki te nan vil a Kenyen yo,
30 to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
epi a sila ki te Horma yo, a sila ki te Cor-Aschan yo ak sila ki te Athac yo,
31 to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
epi a sila ki te Hébron yo, ak tout zòn kote David li menm avèk mesye li yo te abitye rete yo.
