1 Samyèl 18
1 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.
It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Depi jou sa a, Sayil fè David rete ak li, li pa kite l' tounen lakay papa l' ankò.
Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
3 Jonatan mare zanmi ak David pou tout tan, paske li te renmen l' tankou li te renmen tèt pa li.
Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 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'.
Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his clothing, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his sash.
5 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.
Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
6 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.
It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
7 Medam yo t'ap fè fèt, yo t'ap danse, yo t'ap di: -Sayil desann mil. David desann dimil.
The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."
8 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!
Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
9 Depi jou sa a, Sayil gade David ak move je.
Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
10 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'.
It happened on the next day, that an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
11 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.
and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
12 Sayil te pè David anpil, paske Seyè a te vire do bay Sayil, se avèk David li te ye koulye a.
Saul was afraid of David, because Jehovah was with him, and had departed from Saul.
13 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.
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
14 Men, kote li pase li toujou kraze lènmi yo, paske Seyè a te kanpe avèk li.
David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Jehovah was with him.
15 Sayil wè ki jan David t'ap reyisi kote l' pase, li vin pè l' pi rèd.
When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
16 Men, tout moun nan peyi Izrayèl ak nan peyi Jida te renmen David paske se li yo te konnen pou chèf lame a.
But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
17 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.
Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Jehovah's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
18 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?
David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
19 Men, lè lè a rive pou yo te marye Merab ak David, wa a marye Merab ak Adriyèl, moun lavil Meola.
But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
20 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.
Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 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.
And Saul thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
22 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.
Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'"
23 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'.
Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
24 Moun Sayil yo al rapòte wa a sa David te di a.
The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
25 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.
Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
26 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,
When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
27 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.
and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as wife.
28 Lè Sayil vin konprann non sèlman Seyè a te avèk David, men Mikal, pwòp pitit fi Sayil la, te renmen David tou,
And Saul saw and knew that Jehovah was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
29 Sayil te vin pè David plis toujou. Depi jou sa a li te lènmi David jouk jou li mouri.
then Saul was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
30 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.
Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
