2 Samuel 1
1 Now it came to pass, after Saul was dead, that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalecites, and abode two days in Siceleg.
Apre li te fin kraze moun Amalèk yo, David tounen lavil Ziklag. Lè sa a Sayil te deja mouri. David menm te lavil Ziklag depi de jou.
2 And on the third day, there appeared a man who came out of Saul’s camp, with his garments rent, and dust strewed on his head: and when he came to David, he fell upon his face, and adored.
Sou twazyèm jou a, yon nonm rive soti nan kan Sayil la. Rad sou li te chire, li te gen pousyè sou tèt li pou fè wè jan li te nan gwo lapenn. Lè li rive bò kote David, li lage kò l' atè, li bese tèt li byen ba devan li.
3 And David said to him: From whence comest thou? And he said to him: I am fled out of the camp of Israel.
David mande l': -Kote ou soti? Nonm lan reponn: -Mwen chape kò m' soti nan kan moun Izrayèl yo.
4 And David said unto him: What is the matter that is come to pass? tell me. He said: The people are fled from the battle, and many of the people are fallen and dead: moreover Saul and Jonathan his son are slain.
David di li: -Manyè di m' sa ki pase. Nonm lan reponn: -Lame pèp Izrayèl la kouri pandan batay la te mare. Gen anpil sòlda ki mouri. Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit gason l' lan, mouri tou.
5 And David said to the young man that told him: How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son, are dead?
David mande nonm ki te pote nouvèl la: -Ki jan ou fè konnen Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit li a, mouri?
6 And the young man that told him, said: I came by chance upon mount Gelboe, and Saul leaned upon his spear: and the chariots and horsemen drew nigh unto him,
Nonm lan reponn: -Mwen t'ap pase konsa sou mòn Gilboa a lè mwen wè Sayil apiye sou frenn li pou l' pa tonbe atè. Cha lagè lènmi yo ak kavalye yo te prèt pou rive sou li.
7 And looking behind him, and seeing me, he called me. And I answered, Here am I.
Lè sa a, li voye je l' gade, li wè m', epi li rele m' vini. Mwen reponn li: Men mwen, monwa.
8 And he said to me: Who art thou? And I said to him: I am an Amalecite.
Li mande m' ki moun mwen ye. Mwen reponn li se yon moun Amalèk mwen ye.
9 And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me.
Lè sa a, li mande m' pou m' pwoche bò kote l' pou m' touye l', paske li te santi tèt li ap vire, atout li te gen tout konesans li sou li.
10 So standing over him, I killed him: for I knew that he could not live after the fall: and I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm and have brought them hither to thee, my lord.
Se konsa, mwen pwoche bò kote l', mwen touye l' paske mwen te konnen tonbe li te tonbe li t'ap toujou mouri. Apre sa, mwen pran kouwòn ki te sou tèt li ak braslè ki te nan ponyèt li, mwen pote yo ba ou, mèt.
11 Then David took hold of his garments and rent them, and likewise all the men that were with him.
David chire rad ki te sou li sitèlman sa te fè li lapenn. Tout moun ki te la avè l' yo fè menm bagay la tou.
12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were fallen by the sword.
Yo kriye, yo pran gwo lapenn pou Sayil, pou Jonatan, pitit li a, pou lame Seyè a ak pou pèp Izrayèl la, paske te gen anpil ladan yo ki te mouri nan lagè a. Yo rete san manje jouk aswè.
13 And David said to the young man that told him: Whence art thou? He answered: I am the son of a stranger of Amalee.
Apre sa, David mande jenn gason ki te pote nouvèl la: -Ki moun ou ye? Jenn gason an reponn: -Mwen se pitit yonn nan moun Amalèk ki vin rete nan peyi a.
14 David said to him: Why didst thou not fear to put out thy hand to kill the Lord’s anointed?
David di l' konsa: -Bon. Ki jan ou fè pa t' pè leve men ou sou wa Bondye chwazi a pou ou rive touye l'?
15 And David calling one of his servants, said: Go near and fall upon him. And he struck him so that he died.
David rele yonn nan moun li yo. Li di l' konsa: -Vini non! Touye msye. Nonm lan bay moun Amalèk la yon sèl kou, li touye l' frèt.
16 And David said to him: Thy blood be upon thy own head: for thy own mouth hath spoken against thee, saying: I have slain the Lord’s anointed.
David menm te di moun Amalèk la: -Se ou menm ki reskonsab sa ki rive ou la a. Se ou menm ki kondannen tèt ou lè ou di ak bouch ou se ou menm ki touye wa Bondye te chwazi a.
17 And David made this kind of lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son.
David pran chante pou plenn lanmò Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit Sayil la.
18 (Also he commanded that they should teach the children of Juda the use of the bow, as it is written in the book of the just.) And he said: Consider, O Israel, for them that are dead, wounded on thy high places.
Li bay lòd pou yo moutre chante a bay tout moun Jida yo. Se chante banza yo. Yo jwenn li ekri nan Liv Moun ki mache dwat la.
19 The illustrious of Israel are slain upon thy mountains: how are the valiant fallen?
O Izrayèl, tout gwo chèf ou yo mouri sou mòn yo. Yo desann tout vanyan sòlda ou yo.
20 Tell it not in Geth, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon: lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph,
Pa kite nouvèl la rive nan lavil Gad. Pa gaye nouvèl la nan lavil Askalon, pou medam peyi Filisti yo pa fè fèt, pou pitit fi moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pa leve danse.
21 Ye mountains of Gelboe, let neither dew, nor rain come upon you, neither be they fields of firstfruits: for there was cast away the shield of the valiant, the shield of Saul as though he had not been anointed with oil.
Nou menm mòn Giboa yo, se pou nou rete san yon grenn lapli, san yon degout lawouze. Piga jaden janm pouse sou flan mòn nou yo! Paske se la yo trennen nan labou plak fè pwotèj sòlda yo, plak fè pwotèj wa Sayil la ki p'ap janm fwote ak lwil ankò.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the valiant, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
Jonatan pa t' janm fè bak toutotan li pa tranpe flèch li yo nan san lènmi l' yo. Sayil pa t' janm tounen toutotan li pa t' plonje nepe l' nan vant vanyan sòlda lènmi l' yo.
23 Saul and Jonathan, lovely, and comely in their life, even in death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
Sayil ak Jonatan, yonn te renmen lòt! Toujou ansanm nan lavi, ansanm ansanm tou nan lanmò! Pi veyatif pase malfini, pi vanyan pase lyon.
24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet in delights, who gave ornaments of gold for your attire.
Medam pèp Izrayèl yo, rele pou Sayil! Li te konn ban nou bèl rad koulè violèt ki koute byen chè, ak bèl bijou an lò pou mete sou nou.
25 How are the valiant fallen in battle? Jonathan slain in the high places?
Vanyan sòlda yo mouri nan lagè! Jonatan mouri, li blayi atè plat sou ti mòn yo!
26 I grieve for thee, my brother Jonathan: exceeding beautiful, and amiable to me above the love of women. As the mother loveth her only son, so did I love thee.
Mwen gen gwo lapenn pou ou, Jonatan, frè mwen. Jan mwen te renmen ou sa a! Jan ou menm ou te renmen m', se pa pale. Zanmitay sa a te pi bon pou mwen lontan pase renmen ankenn fanm ta ka gen pou mwen!
27 How are the valiant fallen, and the weapons of war perished?
Vanyan sòlda yo mouri! Tout zam lagè yo pa vo anyen koulye a!
