1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth by Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity, and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeks my life?
David kouri kite lavil Najòt nan zòn Rama a, li chape kò l', l' al jwenn Jonatan epi li di l': -Kisa m' fè? Kisa m' fè ki mal? Kisa m' fè papa ou pou li vle touye m' konsa?
2 And he said to him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, and not apprise me; and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
Jonatan reponn li: -Mande Bondye padon, ou p'ap mouri! Papa m' pa fè anyen san li pa di m'. Pa gen rezon pou l' ta kache m' sa. Se pa vre, monchè!
3 And David swore again and again, and said, Thy father certainly knows that I have found favour in thy sight: and he has thought, Jonathan shall not know this, lest he be grieved; but truly [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
Men David sèmante, li di l' konsa: -Papa ou konnen jan ou renmen m'. Li ka di nan kè l': mwen p'ap kite Jonatan konnen sa mwen gen lide fè a pou sa pa fè l' lapenn. M'ap fè ou sèman devan Bondye, sa ki rete pou m' mouri a pa anyen.
4 And Jonathan said to David, What thy soul may say, I will even do it for thee.
Jonatan di l': -Sa ou vle m' fè pou ou!
5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to-morrow is new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.
David reponn li: -Denmen se fèt lalin nouvèl. Mwen te sipoze manje ansanm ak wa a. Men, avèk pèmisyon ou, m'ap pati, mwen pral kache nan bwa jouk apre denmen nan aswè.
6 If thy father should actually miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Si papa ou wè mwen pa la epi li mande pou mwen, w'a di l' mwen te mande ou pèmisyon pou m' kouri rive lakay mwen, lavil Betleyèm, paske se lè pou yo fè sèvis ofrann bèt pou yo fè chak lanne pou tout fanmi mwen.
7 If he say thus, It is well, — thy servant shall have peace; but if he be very wroth, be sure that evil is determined by him.
Si li di li dakò, w'a konnen mwen sove. Men, si li fè kolè, w'a konnen li soti vre pou li touye m'.
8 Deal kindly then with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee; but if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
Tanpri, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, m'ap mande ou yon favè, paske se Seyè a, Bondye menm, ki te fè ou mare zanmi avè m'. Pa kite anyen rive m'. Si m' antò, se ou menm ki pou touye m'. Pa kite m' rive devan papa ou!
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for, if I knew with certainty that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?
Jonatan di li: -Wete sa nan lide ou, monchè! Si mwen vin konnen papa m' soti vre pou touye ou, m'ap avèti ou!
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?
David di li: -Ki moun ki va fè m' konnen si papa ou reponn ou mal?
11 And Jonathan said to David, Come and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Jonatan di li: -Ann al deyò nan jaden yo. Epi yo tou de soti, y' al nan jaden yo.
12 And Jonathan said to David, Jehovah, God of Israel, when I sound my father about this time to-morrow, [or] the next day, and behold, there be good toward David, and I then send not to thee, and apprise thee of it,
Lèfini, Jonatan di David konsa: -Mwen pran Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou temwen. Denmen lè konsa, mwen pral mande papa m' sa ki genyen. M'ap fè menm bagay la tou apre denmen. Si mwen wè li pa gen ankenn move santiman nan kè li pou ou, m'ap voye komisyon ba ou.
13 Jehovah do so and much more to Jonathan. Should it please my father [to do] thee evil, then I will apprise thee of it, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and Jehovah be with thee, as he has been with my father.
Men, si li fè lide pou li touye ou, mwen mande Bondye pou l' ban mwen pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen, si mwen pa voye komisyon ba ou pou ou chape kò ou. Mwen mande pou Seyè a toujou la avè ou, menm jan li te konn kanpe la avèk papa m'.
14 And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of Jehovah, that I die not,
Bon, koulye a menm, si lè sa a mwen poko mouri, tanpri kenbe pwomès ou te fè m' devan Bondye a. Pa lage m'.
15 but thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever, no, not when Jehovah cuts off the enemies of David, every one from the face of the earth.
Toujou aji byen ak moun lakay mwen. Menm lè Seyè a va fin disparèt tout lènmi ou yo sou latè,
16 And Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David, [saying, ] Let Jehovah even require [it] at the hand of David's enemies!
piga ou janm kase kontra zanmi nou te pase yonn ak lòt la nan non fanmi nou. Si ou kase l', se pou Bondye pini ou.
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, by the love he had for him, for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Jonatan fè David pwomèt li ankò l'ap toujou renmen l', paske li menm Jonatan li te renmen David tankou li renmen pwòp tèt pa li.
18 And Jonathan said to him, To-morrow is the new moon; and thou wilt be missed, for thy seat will be empty;
Apre sa, Jonatan di David: -Denmen se fèt lalin nouvèl la, y'ap wè ou pa la, paske plas ou ap rete vid.
19 but on the third day thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself on the day of the business, and abide by the stone Ezel.
Apre denmen y'ap wè ou pa la menm. Lè sa a, w'a desann, w'a ale kote ou te kache dènye fwa a. W'a rete kache dèyè pil wòch Ezèl la.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.
Mwen menm, m'a tire twa flèch nan direksyon pil wòch la, tankou se pil wòch la menm m'ap vize.
21 And behold, I will send the lad, [saying, ] Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come, for there is peace for thee, and it is nothing; [as] Jehovah liveth.
Lèfini, m'a rele domestik mwen an, m'a voye l' al chache flèch yo pote ban mwen. Si ou tande mwen di l': Gade, flèch yo tonbe bò isit anvan yo gen tan rive kote ou ye a, al pran yo pou mwen, sa vle di ou pa bezwen pè anyen, ou mèt vini. Mwen fè sèman nan non Seyè a, anyen p'ap rive ou.
22 But if I say thus to the youth: Behold, the arrows are beyond thee, — go thy way; for Jehovah sends thee away.
Men, si mwen di domestik la: flèch yo tonbe bò lòt bò, yo depase kote ou ye a, leve met deyò, paske se Seyè a menm k'ap voye ou ale.
23 And as to the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between me and thee for ever.
Pou pwomès nou fè yonn bay lòt la, Seyè a ap fè n'ap kenbe l' pou tout tan.
24 And David hid himself in the field; and it was the new moon, and the king sat at table to eat.
Se konsa David t' al kache kò li nan jaden yo. Lè fèt lalin nouvèl la rive, wa Sayil vin chita bò tab la pou l' manje.
25 And the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on the seat by the wall; and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
Li te chita nan plas li, sou fotèy bò miray la. Jonatan te chita bò tab la tou anfas wa a. Abnè menm te chita sou kote wa a. Plas David la te vid.
26 And Saul said nothing that day; for he thought, Something has befallen [him], that he is not clean: surely he is not clean.
Jou sa a, Sayil pa t' di anyen, paske li t'ap di nan kè l': Se yon bagay ki dwe rive l'. Li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye. Sèten, li pa nan kondisyon vre pou l' sèvi Bondye.
27 And it came to pass the next day after the new moon, the second [day of the month], as David's place was empty, that Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has not the son of Jesse come to table, neither yesterday nor to-day?
Men, nan denmen, jou apre jou lalin nouvèl la, plas David la te vid ankò. Sayil mande Jonatan: -Poukisa David, pitit Izayi a, pa vin manje ni ayè, ni jòdi a?
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me [to go] to Bethlehem,
Jonatan reponn li: -Li te mande m' pèmisyon pou l' al lavil Betleyèm.
29 and said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family sacrifice in the city; and my brother himself has commanded me [to be there]; and now, if I have found favour in thy sight, let me go away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. He has therefore not come to the king's table.
Li te di m': Tanpri, kite m' ale paske fanmi nou ap fè yon sèvis ofrann bèt nan lavil Betleyèm. Frè m' yo te voye lòd ban mwen pou m' la. Si ou se zanmi m', kite m' al wè fanmi m' yo. Se poutèt sa li pa nan plas li bò tab wa a.
30 And Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame and to the shame of thy mother's nakedness?
Sayil fè yon sèl kòlè sou Jonatan, li di l': -Ou se yon loraj kale! Koulye a mwen konnen se pran w'ap pran pou David. Se yon wont pou ou! Se yon wont pou manman ou!
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. And now send and fetch him to me, for he must die.
Men, m' fè ou konnen toutotan pitit Izayi sa a vivan, ou p'ap janm wa nan peyi a, ou p'ap janm ka gouvènen. Voye chache l' mennen ban mwen. Se pou l' mouri.
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why should he be put to death? what has he done?
Men Jonatan reponn: -Pouki pou yo touye l' la? Kisa li fè?
33 Then Saul cast the spear at him to smite him; and Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to put David to death.
Lè sa a, Sayil leve frenn li tankou si li ta vle voye l' sou Jonatan. Jonatan vin wè papa l' te soti pou touye David vre.
34 And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no meat the second day of the new moon; for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Li leve soti bò tab la, li te fache anpil. Jou sa a, li pa manje anyen. Se te dezyèm jou fèt lalin nouvèl la. Sa te fè l' lapenn anpil pou David, paske papa l' te pale David mal.
35 And it came to pass in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field, to the place agreed on with David, and a little lad with him.
Nan denmen maten, Jonatan leve, l' al nan jaden yo pou l' wè David jan li te pwomèt li a. Li pran yon jenn gason avè l'.
36 And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. The lad ran, and he shot the arrow beyond him.
Epi li di l': -Kouri non. Ou pral chache flèch mwen pral tire yo. Ti gason an pran kouri. Jonatan voye flèch la pou l' depase ti gason an.
37 And when the lad came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad and said, Is not the arrow away beyond thee?
Lè ti gason an rive kote flèch la te tonbe a, Jonatan pale byen fò, li di l' konsa: -Flèch la pi devan an toujou!
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not! And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Pa kanpe la konsa. Fè vit non! Ti gason an ranmase flèch la, li pote l' tounen bay mèt li.
39 And the lad knew nothing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Li pa t' konnen sa sa te vle di. Sèl Jonatan ak David te konnen.
40 And Jonathan gave his weapons to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.
Jonatan bay ti gason an tout zam li yo, epi li di l' pote yo tounen lavil pou li.
41 The lad went, and David arose from the side of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times; and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
Lè ti gason an fin ale, David soti dèyè pil wòch la, li lage kò l' atè, li bese twa fwa devan Jonatan. Apre sa, li menm ak Jonatan, yo tonbe yonn nan bra lòt, yo t'ap kriye. Men David te nan pi gwo lapenn pase Jonatan.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have both of us sworn in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever! And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
Apre sa, Jonatan di David konsa: -Ale ak kè poze! Nou te fè sèman devan Seyè a pou nou toujou zanmi. Bondye va fè fanmi nou toujou rete zanmi tou. Lè sa a, David leve, l' ale fè wout li. Jonatan menm tounen lavil la.
