1 Samuel 27
1 And David said in his heart: “At some time, I will one day fall into the hands of Saul. Is it not better if I flee, and be saved in the land of the Philistines, so that Saul may despair and cease to seek me in all the parts of Israel? Therefore, I will flee away from his hands.”
David di nan kè l': -Yon jou konsa Sayil ap touye m'. L'a pi bon pou mwen si m' sove al kache nan peyi Filisti a. Konsa, Sayil va sispann mache chache m' nan tout peyi pèp Izrayèl la. p'ap gen danje pou mwen ankò.
2 And David rose up and went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish, the son of Maoch, the king of Gath.
David leve ansanm ak sisan (600) moun pa l' yo, y' ale kay Akich, pitit gason Maòk la, ki te wa lavil Gat.
3 And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men: each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
David ak mesye l' yo rete ak Akich lavil Gat ak tout fanmi yo. David te gen de madanm ak li: Akinoam, yon fanm lavil Jizreyèl ak Abigayèl, madan defen Nabal, moun lavil Kamèl.
4 And it was reported to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And so, he did not continue to seek him.
Lè Sayil vin tande David te kouri al kache lavil Gat, li sispann mache chache l' pou mete men sou li.
5 And David said to Achish: “If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be given to me in one of the cities of this region, so that I may live there. For why should your servant stay in the city of the king with you?”
David di Akich konsa: -Si ou se zanmi m' vre, ban m' yon ti plas nan yonn nan bouk andeyò yo pou m' rete. Pa gen rezon, monwa, pou m' rete viv ansanm avè ou nan kapital la.
6 And so, Achish gave Ziklag to him on that day. And for this reason, Ziklag belongs to the kings of Judah, even to this day.
Se konsa, jou sa a, Akich ba li lavil Ziklag. Se poutèt sa, depi jou sa a, lavil Ziklag toujou rete pou wa peyi Jida yo.
7 Now the number of days that David lived in the region of the Philistines was four months.
David pase ennan kat mwa ap viv nan peyi moun Filisti yo.
8 And David and his men went up and took plunder from Geshuri, and from Girzi, and from the Amalekites. For in the land long ago, these were the inhabitants of the area, going from Shur as far as the land of Egypt.
Tanzantan, David ak mesye l' yo te konn pati al atake moun Jechou yo, moun Jizi yo ak moun Amalèk yo jouk lakay yo. Depi tout tan se pèp sa yo ki te rete nan zòn ki soti depi lavil Telayim, nan direksyon lavil Chou rive jouk peyi Lejip.
9 And David struck the entire land. Neither did he leave alive man or woman. And he took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the garments. And he returned and went to Achish.
Se konsa, David te dechèpiye tout peyi a, li touye fanm kou gason. Li pran mouton moun yo, bèf yo, bourik yo, chamo yo, ata rad yo. Lèfini, li tounen al jwenn Akich.
10 Then Achish said to him, “Whom did you go out against today?” And David responded, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of Jerahmeel, and against the south of Keni.”
Lè Akich mande l': -Ki kote ou t' al demele ou jòdi a? David te kouri reponn li se nan zòn Negèv nan peyi Jida a, osinon nan zòn sid peyi moun Jerakmeyèl yo, ou ankò nan zòn sid teritwa moun Kayen yo.
11 Neither man nor woman was left alive by David. Neither did he lead back any of them to Gath, saying, “Lest perhaps they may speak against us.” David did these things. And this was his decision during all the days that he lived in the region of the Philistines.
Men David te toujou touye tout moun, fanm kou gason, paske li t'ap di nan kè l' konsa pesonn p'ap ka al di moun lavil Gat yo sa li te fè yo. Se sa David t'ap mache fè pandan tout tan li pase nan peyi Filisti a.
12 Therefore, Achish trusted David, saying: “He has worked much harm against his people Israel. And so, he will be a servant to me forever.”
Akich menm te fè David konfyans. Li t'ap di nan kè l': -Msye tèlman fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo rayi l', l'ap blije rete pase tout rès lavi l' ap sèvi m'.
