2 Samuel 1
1 Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Saül te fin mouri, e David te retounen soti nan masak a Amalekit yo, ke David te rete pandan de jou nan Tsiklag.
2 Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.
Nan twazyèm jou a, vwala, yon mesye te sòti nan kan an kote Saül la. Rad li te chire epi te gen pousyè sou tèt li. Lè li te parèt a David, li te tonbe atè; li te kouche plat nèt pou fè respè.
3 And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”
Alò, David te di li: “Depi ki kote ou sòti?” Li te reponn: “Mwen te chape soti nan kan Israël la.”
4 And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”
David te di li: “Se kijan bagay yo te sòti? Souple, fè m konnen.” Konsa, li te di: “Moun yo gen tan sove ale kite batay la, e anplis, anpil nan moun yo tonbe mouri. Epi Saül avèk Jonathan, fis li a te mouri tou.”
5 And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”
Konsa, David te di a jennonm nan ki te pale li a: “Kijan ou fè konnen ke Saül avèk fis li, Jonathan mouri?”
6 And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.
Jennonm ki te pale li a te di: “Pa aza mwen te sou Mòn Guilboa, e gade byen, Saül t ap apiye sou frenn li an. Epi gade, cha yo avèk chevalye yo t ap kouri rèd sou li.
7 And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”
Lè l te gade dèyè li, li te wè m e te rele mwen. Epi mwen te di: ‘Men mwen’.
8 he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”
Li te di mwen: ‘Se ki moun ou ye?’ Epi mwen te reponn li: ‘Mwen se yon Amalekit’.
9 And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”
Alò li te di mwen: ‘Souple, kanpe akote mwen pou touye mwen; paske gwo doulè gen tan sezi mwen akoz lavi m toujou rete nan mwen.’
10 And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
Konsa, mwen te kanpe akote li pou te touye li; paske mwen te konnen ke li pa t kab viv lè l te fin tonbe a. Epi mwen te pran kouwòn ki te sou tèt li a, ak braslè ki te nan bra li a, e mwen te mennen yo isit la kote mèt mwen.”
11 Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.
Alò, David te sezi rad li, te chire yo, menm jan tout mesye ki te avè l yo te fè.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
Yo te fè dèy e te kriye fè jèn pou Saül avèk fis li a, Jonathan, pou pèp SENYÈ a e pou lakay Israël jis rive nan aswè, akoz yo te tonbe pa nepe.
13 And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”
David te di a jennonm ki te pale li a: “Se kibò ou sòti?” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen se fis a yon etranje, yon Amalekit.”
14 And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”
Alò, David te di li: “Kijan sa ye ke ou pa t pè lonje men ou pou detwi onksyone a SENYÈ a?”
15 And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.
Epi David te rele youn nan jennonm yo e te di: “Ale, koupe l fè l desann.” Konsa, li te frape li e li te mouri.
16 And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”
David te di li: “San ou sou pwòp tèt pa w; paske bouch ou te fè temwayaj kont ou menm e te di: ‘Mwen te touye onksyone a SENYÈ a.’”
17 Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.
Alò, David te chante lamantasyon sila sou Saül avèk fis li a, Jonathan.
18 (And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:
Epi li te di yo pou montre fis a Juda yo chan ki rele Banza a. Gade byen, li ekri nan liv a Jaschar a.
19 The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?
“Bèlte ou, O Israël, detwi sou wo plas ou yo! O kijan glwa ou yo te tonbe sou wo plas yo!
20 Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.
Pa pale sa nan Gath, ni pwoklame sa nan lari Askalon yo, sof fi Filisten yo ta rejwi; fi a ensikonsi yo ta egzalte,
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.
O mòn a Guilboa yo, pa kite lawouze ni lapli vin tonbe sou nou, ni sou chanm ofrann yo; paske pwisan yo te tonbe, paske la, boukliye pwisan an te vin sal. Boukliye Saül te pedi lwil onksyon an.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
Soti nan san a sila ki te mouri yo, soti nan grès a pwisan yo, banza a Jonathan an pa t fè bak, ni nepe a Saül la pa t retounen vid.
23 Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
Saül avèk Jonathan, byen emab e byeneme pandan vi pa yo, epi nan mò yo, yo pa t vin separe. Yo te pi rapid ke èg yo. Yo te pi pwisan pase lyon yo.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
O fi Israël yo, kriye pou Saül, ki te fè nou abiye byen bèl ak twal wouj, ki te mete òneman an lò sou vètman nou.
25 How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
Kijan pwisan yo vin tonbe nan mitan batay la! Jonathan vin touye sou wo plas nou yo.
26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
Mwen twouble pou ou, frè m Jonathan. Ou te konn fè m byen kontan. Lanmou ou te yon bèl bagay. Lanmou ou te pi presye ke lanmou a yon fanm.
27 How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
Kijan pwisan yo te tonbe e zam lagè yo te vin peri!”
