Kings II 1
1 And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from striking Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
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 it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were tore, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
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, Whence come you? and he said to him, I have escaped 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 to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
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 who brought him the tidings, How know you 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 brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon 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 he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [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 are you? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
Li mande m' ki moun mwen ye. Mwen reponn li se yon moun Amalèk mwen ye.
9 And he said to me, Stand, I pray you, over me, and kill me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my 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 I stood over him and killed him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to 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 And David laid hold of his garments, and tore them; and all the men who were with him tore their garments.
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 lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were struck with 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 who brought the tidings to him, Whence are you? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
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 And David said to him, How was it you were not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
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 called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he struck him, and 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, Your blood [be] upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
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 lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
David pran chante pou plenn lanmò Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit Sayil la.
18 And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
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 Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places: how are the mighty 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, and tell it not as glad tidings 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 You mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not 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, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back 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, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were 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 Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
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 mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon your high places!
Vanyan sòlda yo mouri nan lagè! Jonatan mouri, li blayi atè plat sou ti mòn yo!
26 I am grieved for you, my brother Jonathan; you were very lovely to me; your love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
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 mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
Vanyan sòlda yo mouri! Tout zam lagè yo pa vo anyen koulye a!
