1 Samuel 18
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè li te fin pale avèk Saül, ke nanm Jonathan te vin atache a nanm David, e Jonathan te renmen li tankou pwòp tèt li.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father’s house.
Saül te pran li nèt nan jou sa a e pa t kite li retounen lakay papa l.
3 And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for be loved him as his own soul.
Epi Jonathan te fè yon akò avèk David akoz li te renmen li tankou pwòp tèt li.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the coat with which he was clothed, and gave it to David, and the rest of his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Jonathan te retire manto ki te sou li a e te bay David li, ansanm avèk pwotèj li, menm ak nepe li, banza li, avèk sentiwon li.
5 And David went out to whatsoever business Saul sent him, and he behaved himself prudently: and Saul set him over the soldiers, and he was acceptable in the eyes of all the people, and especially in the eyes of Saul’s servants.
Konsa, David te ale nan nenpòt kote Saül te voye li a, e te byen reyisi. Epi Saül te mete li chèf sou tout mesye lagè yo. Li te fè kè kontan nan zye a tout pèp la, e anplis, nan zye a sèvitè Saül yo.
6 Now when David returned, after be slew the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels of joy, and cornets.
Li te vin rive ke pandan yo t ap vini, lè David te retounen soti touye Filisten an, ke fanm yo te sòti nan tout vil an Israël yo. Yo t ap chante ak danse pou rankontre Wa Saül, avèk tanbouren, kè kontan ak enstriman mizik.
7 And the women sung as they played, and they said: I Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Fanm yo te chante pandan yo t ap jwe. Yo t ap di: “Saül te touye dè milye pa li menm e David dè di-milye pa li menm.”
8 And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand; what can he have more but the kingdom?
Alò, Saül te vin byen fache, paske pawòl sa a te fè l pa kontan. Li te di: “Yo te bay David dè di-milye; men a mwen menm, yo te bay dè milye. Alò kisa anplis li kapab genyen, sof ke wayòm nan?”
9 And Saul did not look on David with a good eye from that day and forward.
Depi nan jou sa a, Saül te veye David de prè.
10 And the day after the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David played with his hand as at other times. And Saul held a spear in his hand,
Nan jou aprè a, yon move lespri ki sòti nan Bondye te vini sou Saül avèk pwisans. Li te fè pwofesi nan mitan kay la. David, kòm abitid li jou an jou, t ap jwe ap la avèk men li. Saul te gen yon lans nan men l.
11 And threw it, thinking to nail David to the wall: and David stept aside out of his presence twice.
Li te voye lans lan, paske li t ap di: “Mwen va kloure David sou mi an.” David te chape nan prezans li menm de fwa.
12 And Saul feared David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from himself.
Alò Saül te pè David, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li; men Li te fin kite Saül.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him a captain over a thousand men, and he went out and came in before the people.
Pou sa Saül te retire David devan prezans li. Li te apwente li kòm kòmandan a yon mil lòm. Konsa li te sòti e antre devan pèp la.
14 And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
David t ap reyisi nan tout chemen li yo, paske SENYÈ a te avèk li.
15 And Saul saw that he was exceeding prudent, and began to beware of him.
Lè Saül te wè ke li te byen reyisi konsa, li te vin gen gwo perèz li.
16 But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them.
Men tout Israël avèk Juda te renmen li nèt e li te sòti e antre devan yo.
17 And Saul said to David: Behold my elder daughter Merob, her will I give thee to wife: only be a valiant man, and fight the battles of the Lord. Now Saul said within himself: Let not my hand be upon him, but let the hands of the Philistines be upon him.
Alò, Saül te di a David: “Men pi gran fi mwen an, Mérab. Mwen va ba ou li kòm madanm. Sèlman, rete vanyan pou mwen e mennen batay pou SENYÈ a.” Paske Saül t ap di a tèt li: “Mwen p ap kapab leve men kont li, men kite men Filisten yo vin kont li.”
18 And David said to Saul: Who am I, or what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son in law of the king?
Men David te di a Saül: “Kilès mwen ye e kisa lavi mwen ye, oswa fanmi a papa m an Israël ye, pou mwen ta devni bofis a wa a?”
19 And it came to pass at the time when Merob the daughter of Saul should have been given to David, that she was given to Hadriel the Molathite to wife.
Konsa, li te vin rive ke nan moman a Mérab, fi a Saül la te dwe bay a David la, li te vin bay a Adriel, Meolayit la, kòm madanm.
20 But Michol the other daughter of Saul loved David. And it was told Saul, and it pleased him.
Alò, Mical, pitit a Saül la, te renmen David. Lè yo te pale sa a Saül, bagay la te agreyab a li menm.
21 And Saul said: I will give her to him, that she may be a stumblingblock to him, and that the band of the Philistines may be upon him. And Saul said to David: In two things thou shalt be my son in law this day.
Saül te di a li menm: “Mwen va ba li fi a pou li kab devni yon pyèj pou li e pou men Filisten yo kapab vin kont li.” Pou sa, Saül te pale David, “Pou yon dezyèm fwa, ou gen dwa devni bofis mwen jodi a.”
22 And Saul commanded his servants to speak to David privately, saying: Behold thou pleasest the king, and all his servants love thee. Now therefore be the king’s son in law.
Alò, Saül te kòmande sèvitè li yo: “Pale avèk David an sekrè e di: ‘Gade byen, wa a trè kontan avèk ou e tout sèvitè li yo renmen ou anpil. Alò, pou sa a, vin bofis a wa a.’”
23 And the servants of Saul spoke all these words in the ears of David. And David said: Doth it seem to you a small matter to be the king’s son in law? But I am a poor man, and of small ability.
Konsa, sèvitè a Saül yo te pale pawòl sa yo a David. Men David te di: “Èske sa se yon ti bagay pou vin bofis a wa a, akoz mwen menm se yon nonm pòv e san pwa?”
24 And the servants of Saul told him, saying: Such words as these hath David spoken.
Sèvitè a Saül yo te bay rapò a a li menm selon pawòl ke David te pale yo.
25 And Saul said: Speak thus to David: The king desireth not any dowry, but only a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies. Now Saul thought to deliver David into the hands of the Philistines.
Alò, Saül te di: “Konsa ou va pale David: ‘Wa a pa bezwen okenn kòb kòm dwa maryaj, sof ke yon santèn prepuce yo ki sòti nan Filisten yo, pou egzekite vanjans sou lènmi a wa yo.’” Alò, Saül te fè plan pou fè David tonbe pa men a Filisten yo.
26 And when his servants had told David the words that Saul had said, the word was pleasing in the eyes of David to be the king’s son in law.
Lè sèvitè li yo te pale David pawòl sa yo, sa te fè David kontan pou vini bofis a wa a. Avan jou yo te fini,
27 And after a few days David rose up, and went with the men that were under him, and he slew of the Philistines two hundred men, and brought their foreskins and numbered them out to the king, that he might be his son in law. Saul therefore gave him Michol his daughter to wife.
David ak mesye pa li yo te ale. Yo te frape fè desann de-san lòm pami Filisten yo. Alò, David te mennen prepuce pa yo e yo te bay yo an tout a wa a, pou li ta kapab vin bofis a wa a. Konsa Saül te ba li Mical kòm madanm li.
28 And Saul saw, and understood that the Lord was with David. And Michol the daughter of Saul loved him.
Lè Saül te wè e te konnen ke SENYÈ a te avèk David, e ke Mical, fi a Saül la, te renmen li,
29 And Saul began to fear David more: and Saul became David’s enemy continually.
li te pè David menm plis. Konsa Saül te lènmi a David ale nèt.
30 And the princes of the Philistines went forth: and from the beginning of their going forth, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and his name became very famous.
Epi kòmandan Filisten yo te sòti pou fè batay. Konsa, li vin rive chak fwa yo sòti, ke David te aji avèk plis sajès ke tout sèvitè a Saül yo. Akoz sa, non li te vin respekte anpil.
