1 Samuel 25
1 Then Samuel died, and all of Israel gathered together, and they mourned him. And they buried him at his house in Ramah. And David, rising up, descended to the desert of Paran.
Samyèl mouri, tout pèp Izrayèl la sanble pou yo kriye lanmò li. Lèfini, yo antere l' anndan lakay li lavil Rama. Apre sa, David pati, li desann nan dezè Paran an.
2 Now there was a certain man in the wilderness of Maon, and his possessions were at Carmel. And this man was exceedingly great. And three thousand sheep, and one thousand goats were his. And it happened that he was shearing his sheep at Carmel.
Te gen yon nonm moun lavil Maon ki te gen bitasyon l' lavil Kamèl. Nonm lan te rich anpil: li te gen twamil (3.000) tèt mouton ak mil (1000) tèt kabrit. Lè sa a, msye te lavil Kamèl pou fè taye lenn mouton l' yo.
3 Now the name of this man was Nabal. And the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a very prudent and beautiful woman. But her husband was hard-hearted, and very wicked, and malicious. And he was of the stock of Caleb.
Msye te rele Nabal, madanm li te rele Abigayèl. Se te yon fanm ki te gen anpil lespri, lèfini li te bèl. Men, mari a te gen move jan, li pa t' konn boule byen ak moun menm. Se te fanmi moun Kalèb yo.
4 Therefore, when David, in the desert, had heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep,
Antan David nan dezè a, li vin konnen Nabal t'ap taye lenn mouton l' yo.
5 he sent ten young men, and he said to them: “Ascend to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name peacefully.
Li voye dis jenn gason bò kote l'. Li di yo konsa: -Moute lavil Kamèl, ale lakay Nabal, n'a di l' mwen voye bonjou pou li.
6 And you shall say: ‘Peace be to my brothers and to you, and peace to your house, and peace to whatever you have.
Men sa n'a di l': David, frè ou, voye bonjou pou ou ak pou tout moun lakay ou. Li swete tout bagay ap mache byen lakay ou.
7 I have heard that your shepherds, who were with us in the desert, were shearing. We have never troubled them, nor was anything from the flock missing to them at any time, during the entire time that they have been with us in Carmel.
Li tande ou ap taye lenn mouton ou yo. Li voye di ou lè gadò mouton ou yo te avèk nou, nou pa t' janm fè yo anyen. Yo pa janm pèdi anyen pandan tout tan yo te nan zòn Kamèl la.
8 Question your servants, and they will tell you. Now therefore, may your servants find favor in your eyes. For we have arrived on a good day. Whatever your hand will find, give it to your servants and to your son David.’”
Ou mèt mande yo, y'a di ou. David voye mande ou pou resevwa mesye pa l' yo byen, paske se yon jou fèt nou rive isit la. Tanpri, mèt! Bay sa ou genyen pou nou k'ap sèvi ou, ak pou David, zanmi ou lan.
9 And when the servants of David had arrived, they spoke to Nabal all these words in the name of David. And then they were silent.
Mesye David yo rive vre, yo bay Nabal komisyon an nan non David. Epi yo rete tann.
10 But Nabal, responding to the servants of David, said: “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? Today, servants who are fleeing from their lords are increasing.
Apre yon ti tan, Nabal reponn yo: -David? Pitit gason Izayi a? Mwen pa konnen l' non. Atò, koulye peyi a plen yon bann domestik ki sove kite lakay mèt yo.
11 Therefore, shall I take my bread, and my water, and the meat of the cattle that I have slain for my shearers, and give it to men, when I do not know where they are from?”
Anhan! Pou m' pran pen ak dlo lakay mwen ak vyann bèt nou fè touye pou gadò mouton m' yo, pou m' bay yon bann moun mwen pa konnen kote yo soti?
12 And so the servants of David traveled back along their way. And returning, they went and reported to him all the words that he had said.
Mesye yo tounen al jwenn David. Lè yo rive, yo rapòte ba li tou sa Nabal te di.
13 Then David said to his servants, “Let each one gird his sword.” And each one girded his sword. And David also girded his sword. And about four hundred men followed David. But two hundred remained behind with the supplies.
David di yo: -Pran nepe nou, pase yo nan ren nou. Yo tout pase nepe yo nan ren yo. David tou. Lèfini, katsan (400) nan mesye yo ale avèk David. Lòt desan yo (200) rete dèyè ak pwovizyon yo.
14 Then it was reported to Abigail, the wife of Nabal, by one of his servants, saying: “Behold, David has sent messengers from the desert, so that they might speak kindly to our lord. But he turned them away.
Yonn nan domestik Nabal yo al avèti Abigayèl, madanm Nabal, li di l': -David te voye kèk mesaje soti nan dezè a avèk bèl bonjou pou mèt nou an. Men li menm, li pale mal ak yo.
15 These men were good enough to us, and were not troublesome. Neither did we ever lose anything, during the entire time that we conversed with them in the desert.
Men, mesye sa yo te bon pou nou: Yo pa t' janm chache nou kont. Nou pa t' janm pèdi anyen pandan tout tan nou te la ansanm ak yo nan savann lan.
16 They were a wall to us, as much in the night as in the day, during all the days that we were with them, pasturing the sheep.
Yo te pwoteje nou lajounen kou lannwit pandan tout tan nou te la nan mitan yo ap pran swen bann mouton nou yo.
17 For this reason, consider and realize what you should do. For evil has been decided against your husband and against your house. And he is a son of Belial, so that no one is able to speak to him.”
Koulye a, kalkile byen sa ou wè ou ka fè, paske bagay la ka vire mal ni pou mèt nou ni pou tout fanmi l'. Mari ou sitèlman gen move jan, moun pa ka pale ak li.
18 And so Abigail hurried, and she took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five cooked sheep, and five measures of cooked grain, and one hundred clusters of dried grapes, and two hundred masses of dried figs, and she set them upon donkeys.
Abigayèl prese pran desan (200) pen, de gwo veso an po bèt plen diven, senk mouton tou kwit, de barik grenn griye, san mamit rezen chèch, desan (200) gato fèt ak figfrans chèch, li chaje tou sa sou bourik.
19 And she said to her servants: “Go before me. Behold, I will follow after your back.” But she did not reveal it to her husband, Nabal.
Lèfini, li di domestik li yo: -Nou mèt pran devan, mwen menm mwen dèyè. Men li pa di Nabal, mari l' anyen.
20 And when she had climbed on a donkey, and was descending to the base of the mountain, David and his men were descending to meet her. And she met them.
Abigayèl te moute sou yon bourik. Li t'ap desann yon ti mòn lè li rive nan yon koub, li tonbe bab pou bab ak David ki t'ap mache sou li ansanm ak mesye l' yo. Yo kontre.
21 And David said: “Truly, in vain have I preserved all that was his in the wilderness, so that nothing perished out of all that belonged to him. And he has repaid evil to me for good.
David t'ap di nan kè li: -Sa m' te bezwen pwoteje tou sa nonm sa a te genyen nan dezè a fè? Li pa janm pèdi anyen nan sa ki te pou li. Epi se konsa l'ap peye m' pou tout byen mwen fè pou li yo?
22 May God do these things, by the enemies of David, and may he add these other things, if I leave behind until morning, out of all that belongs to him, anything that urinates against a wall.”
Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si anvan denmen maten mwen pa touye dènye moun lakay li, granmoun kou timoun.
23 Then, when Abigail had seen David, she hurried and descended from the donkey. And she fell upon her face before David, and she reverenced on the ground.
Wè Abigayèl wè David, li kouri desann bourik li a, li lage kò l' ajenou devan David, li bese tèt li jouk atè.
24 And she fell at his feet, and she said: “May this iniquity be upon me, my lord. I beg you, let your handmaid speak to your ears, and listen to the words of your servant.
Apre sa, li lage kò l' nan pye David, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, chèf mwen, ban m' pèmisyon pale avè ou. Tout fòt la se pou mwen. Koute sa m'ap di ou.
25 Let not my lord, the king, I beseech you, set his heart upon this iniquitous man, Nabal. For in accord with his name, he is senseless, and foolishness is with him. But I, your handmaid, did not see your servants, my lord, whom you had sent.
Tanpri, pa okipe nonm yo rele Nabal la. Se yon vòryen. Se pa pou gremesi yo rele l' Nabal ki vle di moun fou. Mwen menm, mèt, mwen pa t' wè mesye ou te voye yo.
26 Now therefore, my lord, as your soul lives, and as the Lord lives, who has kept your hand to yourself, and has prevented you from coming to blood: now, let your enemies be like Nabal, and like all those who are seeking evil for my lord.
Se Seyè a menm ki anpeche ou mete san deyò pou pran revanj ou. Koulye a, mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a ak devan ou menm, mèt mwen, se pou tout lènmi ou yo, tout moun ki ta vle fè ou mal, fini tankou Nabal.
27 Because of this, accept this blessing, which your handmaid has brought to you, my lord. And give it to the young men who follow you, my lord.
Koulye a, mèt mwen, men sa mwen pote fè ou kado pou ou bay moun k'ap mache avè ou yo.
28 Forgive the iniquity of your handmaid. For the Lord will surely make for you, my lord, a faithful house, because you, my lord, fight the battles of the Lord. Therefore, let no evil be found in you all the days of your life.
Tanpri, mèt, padonnen sa mwen fè ki mal. Seyè a va ba ou yon fanmi ki p'ap janm disparèt, paske batay w'ap mennen yo se batay Seyè a yo ye. Ou p'ap janm fè anyen ki mal nan tout lavi ou.
29 For if a man, at any time, will rise up, pursuing you and seeking your life, the life of my lord will be preserved, as if in the sheave of the living, with the Lord your God. But the lives of your enemies will be spun around, as if with the force of a whirling sling.
Si yon moun konprann pou li atake ou, si l'ap chache touye ou, Seyè a, Bondye ou la, va pwoteje ou. L'a sere ou bò kote l' tankou lè yon moun ap sere yon bagay li renmen anpil. Men l'ap pran lènmi ou yo, l'ap voye yo jete byen lwen tankou lè yon moun ap voye wòch nan fistibal.
30 Therefore, when the Lord will have done for you, my lord, all the good that he has spoken about you, and when he will have appointed you as leader over Israel,
Konsa, lè Seyè a va fè pou ou tout bèl bagay li te pwomèt ou yo, lè l'a mete ou chèf sou pèp Izrayèl la,
31 this will not be for you a regret or a scruple of the heart, my lord, that you had shed innocent blood, or had taken revenge for yourself. And when the Lord will have done well for my lord, you shall remember your handmaid.”
wi, lè sa a, mèt mwen, ou p'ap bezwen nan règrèt, ni konsyans ou p'ap boulvèse deske ou te mete san moun deyò san rezon osinon deske ou te pran revanj ou sou moun. Lè Seyè a va beni ou, tanpri pa bliye m'.
32 And David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me. And blessed is your eloquence.
David di Abigayèl konsa: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki voye ou jòdi a vin kontre avè m'!
33 And blessed are you, who prevented me today from going to blood, and from taking revenge for myself with my own hand.
Kite m' di Bondye mèsi pou bon konprann ou genyen an, pou ou menm tou deske jòdi a ou vin kenbe men m' pou m' pa mete san moun deyò, pou m' pa tire revanj mwen mwen menm.
34 But instead, as the Lord God of Israel lives, he has prevented me from doing evil to you. But if you had not come quickly to meet me, there would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light, anything that urinates against a wall.”
Seyè a pa kite m' fè ou anyen. Men tou, si ou pa t' prese vin kontre avè m', mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, anvan denmen maten tout gason fanmi Nabal yo, ata ti gason piti yo, t'ap pèdi lavi yo.
35 Then David received from her hand all that she had brought to him. And he said to her: “Go in peace to your own house. Behold, I have heeded your voice, and I have honored your face.”
Abigayèl renmèt David tou sa li te pote, epi David di l': -Tounen lakay ou ak kè poze! Mwen koute tou sa ou di m' la a. Ou pa bezwen bat kò ou.
36 Then Abigail went to Nabal. And behold, he was holding a feast for himself in his house, like the feast of a king. And the heart of Nabal was cheerful. For he was greatly inebriated. And she did not reveal a word to him, small or great, until morning.
Abigayèl tounen al jwenn Nabal lakay li. Nabal t'ap fè yon gwo resepsyon, parèy ak resepsyon wa yo konn fè. Nabal te sou anpil, kè l' te kontan. Madanm lan pa di l' anyen jouk nan denmen maten.
37 Then, at first light, when Nabal had digested his wine, his wife revealed to him these words, and his heart died within himself, and he became like a stone.
Nan maten, lè Nabal fin desoule, madanm li rakonte l' tout bagay. Msye fè yon kriz kè, li vin paralize nan tout kò l'.
38 And after ten days had passed, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
Dis jou apre sa, Seyè a frape Nabal, Nabal mouri.
39 And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: “Blessed is the Lord, who has judged the case of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and who has preserved his servant from evil. And the Lord has repaid the malice of Nabal upon his own head.” Then David sent and he spoke with Abigail, so that he might take her to himself as wife.
Lè David vin konnen Nabal mouri, li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Li fè Nabal peye wont li te fè m' lan, li kenbe men m' pou m' pa fè sa ki mal. Seyè a fè mechanste Nabal la tonbe sou pwòp tèt li. Apre sa a David voye di Abigayèl li ta renmen l' pou madanm.
40 And David’s servants went to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David has sent us to you, so that he might take you to himself as wife.”
Moun David yo al jwenn Abigayèl lavil Kamèl. Yo pale avè l', yo di l' konsa: -David voye nou bò kote ou pou nou mennen ou ba li pou l' sa marye avè ou.
41 And rising up, she reverenced prone on the ground, and she said, “Behold, let your servant be a handmaid, to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
Abigayèl leve, li lage kò l' ajenou, li bese tèt li atè epi li di: -Se domestik li mwen ye, mwen tou pare pou m' lave pye moun pa l' yo.
42 And Abigail rose up and hurried, and she climbed upon a donkey, and five girls went with her, her attendants. And she followed the messengers of David, and she became his wife.
Abigayèl leve byen vit, li moute bourik li. Li pran senk jenn fi ki t'ap sèvi avè l' lakay li. Li pati ak mesaje David yo. Se konsa li vin madanm David.
43 Moreover, David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel. And both of them were his wives.
David te deja marye ak Akinoam, moun lavil Jizreyèl. Li vin pran Abigayèl koulye a, sa te fè l' de madanm.
44 Then Saul gave his daughter Michal, the wife of David, to Palti, the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.
Sayil menm bò pa l' te pran Mikal, pitit fi li a ki te madanm David, li marye l' ak Palti, pitit gason Layis, moun lavil Galim.
