1 Samuel 20
1 And Dauid fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and sayd before Ionathan, What haue I done? what is mine iniquitie? and what sinne haue I committed before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
Epi David te sove ale kite Najoth nan Rama, e li te vin di a Jonathan: “Kisa mwen te fè? Ki inikite mwen genyen? Epi ki peche mwen gen devan papa ou, pou li ap chache lavi m?”
2 And he sayde vnto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die: beholde, my father will do nothing great nor small, but he will shewe it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? he will not doe it.
Li te di li: “Lwen de sa, ou p ap mouri. Gade byen, papa m p ap janm fè anyen ni gran ni piti amwenske li avèti m. Konsa pou ki rezon li ta kache bagay sa a de mwen? Se pa vrè!”
3 And Dauid sware againe and sayd, Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thine eyes: therefore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sorie: but in deede, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a step betweene me and death.
Men David te fè ve ankò, e li te di: “Papa ou konnen byen ke mwen te jwenn favè nan zye ou, e li te di: ‘Pa kite Jonathan konnen bagay sa a, oswa li va blese.’ Men anverite, jan SENYÈ a viv la e jan nanm ou viv la, gen sèlman yon pa antre mwen ak lanmò.”
4 Then said Ionathan vnto Dauid, Whatsoeuer thy soule requireth, that I wil do vnto thee.
Alò, Jonathan te di a David: “Nenpòt sa ou mande, m ap fè l pou ou.”
5 And Dauid said vnto Ionathan, Behold, to morowe is the first day of the moneth, and I shoulde sit with the King at meate: but let me goe, that I may hide my selfe in the fieldes vnto the third day at euen.
Konsa, David te di a Jonathan: “Veye byen, demen se nouvèl lin nan. Mwen ta dwe chita a tab pou manje avèk wa a. Men kite mwen ale pou m kache kò m nan chan an jis rive twa jou.
6 If thy father make mention of me, then say, Dauid asked leaue of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem to his owne citie: for there is a yeerely sacrifice for all that familie.
Si papa ou vin wè ke m pa la, alò li di: ‘David te mande mwen favè pou l ta kab kouri rive Bethléhem, vil pa li a, akoz se lè sakrifis ane a pou tout fanmi an.’
7 And if he say thus, It is well, thy seruant shall haue peace: but if he be angrie, be sure that wickednesse is concluded of him.
Si li di: ‘Sa bon,’ sèvitè ou a va sove; men si li vin byen fache, konnen ke li te pran desizyon pou l fè mal la.
8 So shalt thou shew mercy vnto thy seruant: for thou hast ioyned thy seruant into a couenant of the Lord with thee, and if there be in me iniquitie, slay thou me: for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
Pou sa, aji avèk bon kè avèk sèvitè ou a; paske ou te mennen sèvitè ou antre nan yon akò a SENYÈ a avèk ou. Men si gen inikite nan mwen, mete m a lanmò ou menm; paske poukisa, si se konsa, ou ta dwe mennen mwen kote papa ou?”
9 And Ionathan answered, God keepe that from thee: for if I knewe that wickednesse were concluded of my father to come vpon thee, would not I tell it thee?
Jonathan te di: “Sa se lwen de sa! Paske si mwen ta konprann ke papa m te detèmine pou fè ou mal; alò, èske mwen pa t ap di ou sa?”
10 Then said Dauid to Ionathan, Who shall tell me? how shall I knowe, if thy father answere thee cruelly?
Alò, David te di a Jonathan: “Se kilès ki va di mwen si papa ou bay yon repons ki di?”
11 And Ionathan sayde to Dauid, Come and let vs goe out into the fielde: and they twaine went out into the fielde.
Jonathan te di a David: “Vini, annou ale nan chan an.” Konsa, toude te sòti nan chan an.
12 Then Ionathan sayde to Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, when I haue groped my fathers minde to morow at this time, or within this three dayes, and if it be well with Dauid, and I then send not vnto thee, and shewe it thee,
Alò, Jonathan te di a David: “SENYÈ Bondye Israël la se temwen! Lè m fin sonde papa m vè lè sa a demen, oswa nan twazyèm jou a, gade byen, si gen bon repons anvè ou menm, èske mwen p ap voye yon mo ba ou pou fè ou konnen sa?
13 The Lord doe so and much more vnto Ionathan: but if my father haue minde to doe thee euill, I will shew thee also, and sende thee away, that thou mayest goe in peace: and the Lord be with thee as he hath bene with my father.
Si se volonte a papa m pou fè ou mal, kite SENYÈ a fè menm jan an ak Jonathan e menm plis toujou, si mwen pa fè ou konnen e voye ou ale, pou ou kab sòti ansekirite. Epi ke Bondye kapab avèk ou menm jan ke li te ye avèk papa m nan.
14 Likewise I require not whiles I liue: for I dout not but thou wilt shew me the mercy of the Lord, that I die not.
Si mwen toujou vivan, èske ou p ap montre mwen tout lanmou a SENYÈ a pou m pa mouri?
15 But I require that thou cut not off thy mercie from mine house for euer: no, not when the Lord hath destroyed the enemies of Dauid, euery one from the earth.
Ou p ap retire lanmou ou vè lakay mwen pou tout tan, pa menm lè SENYÈ a vin koupe dènye lènmi David la sou fas tè a.”
16 So Ionathan made a bond with the house of Dauid, saying, Let the Lord require it at the hands of Dauids enemies.
Konsa tou Jonathan te fè yon akò avèk lakay David: “Ke SENYÈ a toujou mande menm devwa sa a nan men a lènmi David yo.”
17 And againe Ionathan sware vnto Dauid, because he loued him (for he loued him as his owne soule)
Jonathan te fè David fè ve a ankò akoz ke li te renmen li e akoz li te renmen li tankou li te renmen pwòp vi pa li.
18 Then said Ionathan to him, To morowe is the first day of the moneth: and thou shalt be looked for, for thy place shalbe emptie.
Alò, Jonathan te di li: “Demen se nouvèl lin nan e absans ou ap byen klè akoz chèz ou a va vid
19 Therefore thou shalt hide thy selfe three dayes, then thou shalt goe downe quickely and come to the place where thou diddest hide thy selfe, when this matter was in hand, and shalt remayne by the stone Ezel.
Lè ou fin rete pandan twa jou, ou va desann vit vini nan plas kote ou te kache nan jou evenman sa yo; epi ou va rete akote wòch Ézel la.
20 And I will shoote three arrowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke.
Mwen va tire twa flèch akote, kòmsi se yon pratik m ap fè.
21 And after I wil sende a boy, saying, Goe, seeke the arrowes. If I say vnto the boy, See, the arrowes are on this side thee, bring them, and come thou: for it is well with thee and no hurt, as the Lord liueth.
Epi tande byen, mwen va voye yon ti gason e di l: ‘Ale dèyè flèch yo.’ Si mwen pale byen klè a ti gason an, e di l: ‘Gade byen, flèch yo bò sa a de ou menm, ale chache yo;’ alò, ou va vini, paske gen sekirite pou ou e nanpwen mal, jan SENYÈ a viv la.
22 But if I say thus vnto the boy, Behold, the arrowes are beyonde thee, goe thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away.
Men si mwen di ti gason an: ‘Gade byen, flèch yo lwen ou,’ alò ale, paske SENYÈ a te voye ou ale.
23 As touching the thing which thou and I haue spoken of, beholde, the Lord be betweene thee and me for euer.
Epi pou afè akò ke ou menm avèk mwen fin pale a, gade byen, SENYÈ a antre ou menm avèk mwen menm pou tout tan.”
24 So Dauid hid him selfe in the field: and when the first day of the moneth came, the King sate to eate meate.
Konsa, David te kache nan chan an. Epi lè nouvèl lin nan vin leve, wa a te chita sou tab la pou manje.
25 And the King sate, as at other times vpon his seate, euen vpon his seate by the wall: and Ionathan arose, and Abner sate by Sauls side, but Dauids place was emptie.
Wa a te chita nan plas li kòm nòmal, chèz akote mi an. Alò, Jonathan te leve e Abner te chita akote Saül, men plas David la te vid.
26 And Saul sayde nothing that day: for hee thought, Some thing hath befallen him, though he were cleane, or els becaus he was not purified.
Malgre Saül pa t di anyen nan jou sa a, paske li te di a li menm: “Se yon malè ki rive e li vin pa pwòp. Asireman, li pa pwòp.”
27 But on the morowe which was the second day of the moneth, Dauids place was emptie againe: and Saul sayde vnto Ionathan his sonne, Wherefore commeth not the sonne of Ishai to meate, neither yesterday nor to day?
Li te vin rive nan pwochen jou a, dezyèm jou nouvèl lin nan, ke plas David la te vid. Konsa, Saül te di a Jonathan, fis li a: “Poukisa fis a Jesse pa parèt nan repa a, ni yè, ni jodi a?”
28 And Ionathan answered vnto Saul, Dauid required of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem.
Alò, Jonathan te reponn Saül: “David te swayezman mande pèmisyon a mwen menm pou ale Bethléhem,
29 For he sayde, Let me goe, I pray thee: for our familie offreth a sacrifice in the citie, and my brother hath sent for me: therfore now if I haue found fauour in thine eyes, let me goe, I pray thee, and see my brethren: this is the cause that he commeth not vnto the Kings table.
paske li te di: ‘Souple kite m ale, akoz fanmi nou gen yon sakrifis nan vil la e frè m yo te mande m parèt. Epi koulye a, si m jwenn favè nan zye ou, souple, kite m fè yon sòti pou m kapab wè frè m yo.’ Pou rezon sa a, li pa t vin parèt sou tab a Wa a.”
30 Then was Saul angrie with Ionathan, and sayde vnto him, Thou sonne of the wicked rebellious woman, doe not I know, that thou hast chosen the sonne of Ishai to thy confusion, and to the confusion and shame of thy mother?
Alò, kòlè a Saül te brile kont Jonathan e li te di a li: “Se fis a yon fanm pèvès e rebèl ke ou ye! Èske mwen pa konprann ke w ap chwazi fis a Jesse jis pou wont pa ou e jis rive nan wont a nidite manman ou.
31 For as long as the sonne of Ishai liueth vpon the earth, thou shalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdome: wherefore now send and fet him vnto me, for he shall surely die.
Paske depi fis Jesse a rete sou latè, ni ou menm ni wayòm ou a p ap etabli. Alò, pou sa, voye mennen li kote mwen, paske fòk li mouri.”
32 And Ionathan answered vnto Saul his father, and said vnto him, Wherefore shall he die? what hath he done?
Men Jonathan te reponn Saül, papa li: “Poukisa li dwe mouri? Kisa li te fè?”
33 And Saul cast a speare at him to hit him, whereby Ionathan knew, that it was determined of his father to slay Dauid.
Alò, Saül te voye frenn nan sou Jonathan pou frape fè l tonbe. Epi konsa, Jonathan te konnen ke papa li te pran desizyon pou mete David a lanmò.
34 So Ionathan arose from the table in a great anger, and did eate no meate the seconde day of the moneth: for he was sorie for Dauid, and because his father had reuiled him.
Epi Jonathan te leve sou tab la byen anraje e li pa t manje nan dezyèm jou nouvèl lin nan, paske kè l te fè l mal akoz papa li te derespekte l konsa.
35 On the next morning therefore Ionathan than went out into the fielde, at the time appoynted with Dauid, and a litle boy with him.
Alò, li te vin rive nan maten ke Jonathan te parèt nan chan an pou randevou avèk David la, e yon ti gason te avè l.
36 And he saide vnto his boy, Runne now, seeke the arrowes which I shoote, and as the boy ran, he shot an arrowe beyond him.
Li te di a jennonm nan: “Kouri koulye a pou ale chache flèch ke m prèt pou tire yo.” Pandan jennonm nan t ap kouri, li te tire yon flèch ki te depase li.
37 And when the boy was come to the place where the arrowe was that Ionathan had shot, Ionathan cryed after the boy, and sayde, Is not the arrowe beyond thee?
Lè jennonm nan te rive nan plas flèch ke Jonathan te tire a, Jonathan te rele jennonm nan e te di: “Èske flèch la pa pi lwen ou?”
38 And Ionathan cryed after the boy, Make speede, haste and stand not still: and Ionathans boy gathered vp the arrowes, and came to his master,
Jonathan te rele jennonm nan: “Pa mize, fè vit, pa fè reta!” Epi jennonm Jonathan an te pran flèch la e te retounen vè mèt li.
39 But the boy knewe nothing: onely Ionathan and Dauid knew the matter.
Men jennonm nan pa t konnen anyen. Sèlman Jonathan avèk David te konprann koze a.
40 Then Ionathan gaue his bowe and arrowes vnto the boy that was with him, and sayd vnto him, Goe, carrie them into the citie.
Alò, Jonathan te bay zam li yo a jennonm nan e te di li: “Ale pote antre nan vil la.”
41 Assoone as the boy was gone, Dauid arose out of a place that was towarde the South, and fel on his face to the ground, and bowed him selfe three times: and they kissed one another, and wept both twaine, till Dauid exceeded.
Lè jennonm nan te fin ale, David te leve soti nan fas sid la. Li te tonbe sou figi li atè e li te bese ba twa fwa. Epi yo te bo youn lòt e te kriye ansanm, men David te kriye plis.
42 Therefore Ionathan said to Dauid, Goe in peace: that which we haue sworne both of vs in the Name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be betweene me and thee, and betweene my seede and betweene thy seede, let it stand for euer. And he arose and departed, and Ionathan went into the citie.
Jonathan te di a David: “Ale anpè. Jan nou te sèmante youn ak lòt nan non SENYÈ a, e te di: ‘SENYÈ a va antre ou avèk mwen, antre desandan pa w ak desandan pa m jis pou tout tan.’” Epi li te leve sòti pandan Jonathan t ap antre nan vil la.
