< 2 Samuel 1 >

1 And it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David abode two days in 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 And it came to pass on the third day, that behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his garments rent, and earth upon his head; and as soon as he came to David, he fell to the earth and did obeisance.
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, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
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 has taken place? I pray thee, tell me. And he said that the people had fled from the battle, and many of the people also had fallen and died, and that Saul and Jonathan his son were dead also.
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 young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
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 young man that told him said, I happened by chance to be upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul leaned on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after 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 he looked behind him, and saw me, and called to me. And I said, Here am I.
Lè l te gade dèyè li, li te wè m e te rele mwen. Epi mwen te di: ‘Men mwen’.
8 And he said to me, Who art thou? 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 He said to me again, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me; for anguish has seized me; for my life is yet whole 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 So I stood over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he would not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither to 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 took hold of his garments and rent them; and all the men that were with him [did] likewise.
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 even for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel; because they were 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 young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, I am the son of an Amalekite stranger.
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, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy Jehovah's anointed?
Alò, David te di li: “Kijan sa ye ke ou pa t pè lonje men ou pou detwi onksyone a SENYÈ a?”
15 Then David called one of the young men and said, Draw near, [and] fall on him. And he smote him that 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, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain Jehovah's anointed.
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 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son;
Alò, David te chante lamantasyon sila sou Saül avèk fis li a, Jonathan.
18 and he bade them teach the children of Judah [the song of] the bow. Behold, it is written in the book of Jasher: —
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 beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
“Bèlte ou, O Israël, detwi sou wo plas ou yo! O kijan glwa ou yo te tonbe sou wo plas yo!
20 Tell [it] not in Gath, carry not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon; Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
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 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, no rain upon you, nor fields of heave-offerings! For there the shield of the mighty was vilely cast away, The shield of Saul, [as] not 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 mighty, The bow of Jonathan turned not back, And the sword of Saul returned not 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, beloved and pleasant in their lives, Even in their death were not divided; They were swifter than eagles, they were 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 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with splendour, Who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
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 are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan is slain upon thy high places.
Kijan pwisan yo vin tonbe nan mitan batay la! Jonathan vin touye sou wo plas nou yo.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant wast thou unto me; Thy love to me was wonderful, passing women's love.
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 are the mighty fallen, and the instruments of war perished!
Kijan pwisan yo te tonbe e zam lagè yo te vin peri!”
