1 Samuel 23
1 David was told, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.”
Alò, yo te pale David. Yo te di: “Gade byen, Filisten yo ap goumen kont Keïla. Y ap piyaje grenn jaden sou glasi yo.”
2 Therefore David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go and strike these Philistines?” Yahweh said to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
Konsa, David te fè demann a SENYÈ a. Li te mande L: “Èske mwen dwe ale atake Filisten sila yo?” Epi SENYÈ a te reponn David: “Ale atake Filisten yo pou delivre Keïla.”
3 David’s men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
Men mesye David yo te di li: “Gade byen, nou nan perèz menm isit la nan Juda. Konbyen anplis, si nou ale Keïla kont chan Filisten yo?”
4 Then David inquired of Yahweh yet again. Yahweh answered him, and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
Alò, David te fè demann SENYÈ a yon lòt fwa. Epi SENYÈ a te pale li e te di: “Leve, desann Keïla; paske Mwen va livre Filisten yo nan men ou.”
5 David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their livestock, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Konsa, David avèk mesye pa li yo te ale Keïla pou te goumen avèk Filisten yo. Yo te mennen bèt yo sòti e te frape moun avèk yon gwo masak. Konsa David te delivre pèp a Keïla a.
6 When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, he came down with an ephod in his hand.
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Abiathar, fis Achimélec la, te sove ale pou rive kote David nan Keïla, li te desann avèk yon efòd nan men l.
7 Saul was told that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he is shut in by entering into a town that has gates and bars.”
Lè yo te pale a Saül ke David te vini Keïla, Saül te di: “Bondye te delivre li nan men m. Paske li te fèmen li menm andedan lè l te antre nan yon vil avèk pòtay doub ak fè fòje.”
8 Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
Konsa, Saül te konvoke tout pèp la pou fè lagè, pou desann Keïla pou fè syèj sou David avèk mesye pa li yo.
9 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him. He said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
Alò David te konnen ke Saül t ap fè konplo mechanste kont li. Konsa, li te di a Abithar, prèt la: “Mennen efòd la isit la.”
10 Then David said, “O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
Epi David te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, Sèvitè ou tande ke se sèten ke Saül ap chache vini Keïla pou detwi vil la akoz mwen menm.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant.” Yahweh said, “He will come down.”
Èske mesye Keïla yo va livre mwen nan men li? Èske Saül va desann tankou sèvitè ou te tande a? O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, mwen priye, pale ak sèvitè ou a.” Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Li va desann.”
12 Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” Yahweh said, “They will deliver you up.”
Konsa, David te di: “Èske mesye Keïla yo va livre mwen avèk mesye pa mwen yo nan men Saül?” SENYÈ a te reponn: “Yo va livre ou.”
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah and went wherever they could go. Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah; and he gave up going there.
Alò, David avèk mesye pa li yo, anviwon sis-san moun, te leve sòti Keïla, e yo te ale nenpòt kote ke yo ta kab ale. Lè li te pale a Saül ke David te chape Keïla, li te sispann swiv li.
14 David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God didn’t deliver him into his hand.
David te rete nan dezè a nan fòterès yo e li te rete nan peyi ti mòn dezè Ziph la. Epi Saül te chache li chak jou. Men Bondye pa t livre li nan men li.
15 David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the woods.
Alò, David te vin konprann ke Saül te parèt deyò pou chache lavi li pandan David te nan dezè Ziph la nan Horès.
16 Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David into the woods, and strengthened his hand in God.
Epi Jonathan, Fis a Saül la, te leve ale kote David nan Horès pou te ankouraje li nan Bondye.
17 He said to him, “Don’t be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father won’t find you; and you will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you; and Saul my father knows that also.”
Konsa, li te di li: “Pa pè, paske men Saül, papa m nan, p ap jwenn ou. Ou va wa sou Israël e mwen va bò kote ou; epi Saül, papa m, konnen sa tou.”
18 They both made a covenant before Yahweh. Then David stayed in the woods and Jonathan went to his house.
Konsa, yo de a te fè yon akò devan SENYÈ a. Epi David te rete Horès pandan Jonathan te ale lakay li a.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?
Epi Zifyen yo te vin monte kote Saül nan Guibea, e te di: “Èske David pa kache pami nou nan fòterès nan Horès yo, sou mòn a Hakila a, ki sou kote sid a Jeschimon an?
20 Now therefore, O king, come down. According to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part will be to deliver him up into the king’s hand.”
Alò, koulye a, O wa, desann selon tout volonte nanm ou ta vle fè. Epi poupati pa nou an, nou va livre li nan men a wa a.”
21 Saul said, “You are blessed by Yahweh, for you have had compassion on me.
Saül te di: “Ke ou kapab beni pa SENYÈ a, paske ou te gen kè sansib anvè mwen.
22 Please go make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I have been told that he is very cunning.
Ale, koulye a, fè byensi e fè ankèt pou wè kote li mete pye li ak sila ki konn wè li la yo; paske yo di m ke li rize anpil.
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides himself; and come again to me with certainty, and I will go with you. It shall happen, if he is in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”
Konsa, gade e aprann tout kote l kache kò l, retounen kote mwen avèk asirans e m ap prale avè w. Epi si li nan peyi a, mwen va chache mete l deyò pami tout milye Juda yo.”
24 They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.
Epi yo te leve ale Ziph devan Saül. Alò, David avèk mesye pa li yo te nan dezè Maon, nan Araba akote sid a Jeschimon.
25 Saul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.
Lè Saül avèk mesye pa li yo te ale chache, yo te fè David konnen. Konsa, li te desann kote wòch la pou te rete nan dezè Maon an. Epi lè Saül te tande sa, li te kouri dèyè David nan dezè Maon an.
26 Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David hurried to get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
Saül te ale yon bò mòn nan, David avèk mesye pa l sou lòt kote mòn nan. Epi David t ap fè vit pou chape kite Saül, paske Saül avèk mesye pa li yo t ap antoure David avèk mesye pa li yo pou yo ta sezi yo.
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
Men yon mesaje te vin kote Saül, e te di: “Fè vit! Vini! Paske Filisten yo te atake peyi a.”
28 So Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
Konsa, Saül te retounen soti nan kouri dèyè David pou te ale rankontre Filisten yo. Pou sa, yo te vin rele plas sa a Wòch Chape a.
29 David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
David te monte soti la a pou te rete nan fòterès En-Guédi yo.
