1 Samyèl 19
1 Sayil pale ak Jonatan ansanm ak chèf k'ap sèvi avè l' yo, li di yo li fè lide touye David. Men Jonatan, pitit gason Sayil la, te renmen David anpil.
Saul said to Jonathan his son and to all his servants that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, took great pleasure in David.
2 Li fè David konnen sa. Li di l': -Sayil, papa m', ap chache touye ou. Denmen maten, rete sou prigad ou. Al kache kò ou yon kote. Pa soti menm.
So Jonathan told David, “Saul my father seeks to kill you. Therefore be on your guard in the morning and hide yourself in a secret place.
3 Mwen menm, m'ap soti, mwen pral jwenn papa m' nan jaden kote ou kache a, m'a pale sou ou ak li. Jan l' reponn mwen, m'a fè ou konnen.
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak with my father about you. If I learn anything, I will tell you.”
4 Jonatan t'ap bay bèl pawòl pou David devan papa l', li t'ap di konsa: -Monwa, piga ou fè David, sèvitè ou la, anyen. Li menm, li pa janm fè ou anyen. Tou sa li fè toujou sèvi ou.
Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Do not let the king sin against his servant David. For he has not sinned against you, and his deeds have brought you good.
5 Li riske lavi li lè l' al touye sòlda Filisti a. Se konsa Seyè a te delivre tout pèp la, se te bèl bagay. Ou te wè sa, ou te kontan. Poukisa koulye a ou ta renmen wè malè rive yon moun inonsan, ou ta vle touye David san l' pa fè anyen?
For he took his life in his hand and killed the Philistine. Yahweh brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
6 Sayil koute Jonatan, li fè sèman, li di l': -Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a ki vivan, yo p'ap touye David.
Saul listened to Jonathan. Saul swore, “As Yahweh lives, he will not be put to death.”
7 Jonatan rele David, li rapòte l' tout pawòl sa yo. Apre sa, li mennen David bay Sayil. Epi David tanmen sèvi wa a ankò jan li te konn fè anvan an.
Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
8 Lagè pete ankò ak moun Filisti yo. David leve al atake yo, li goumen ak yo, li bat yo byen bat, li fè yo kouri met deyò devan li.
There was war again, and David went out and fought with the Philistines and defeated them with a great slaughter. They fled before him.
9 Yon jou Seyè a voye yon move lespri ki desann sou Sayil. Sayil te chita lakay li, li te kenbe frenn li nan men l'. David menm t'ap jwe mizik.
A harmful spirit from Yahweh came on Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand, and as David was playing his instrument.
10 Sayil t'ap chache kloure David nan miray la ak frenn li, men David eskive kò l', epi frenn lan al antre nan miray la. David kouri chape kò l'. Menm jou sa a, nan mitan lannwit,
Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul's presence, so that Saul drove the spear into the wall. David fled and escaped that night.
11 Sayil voye kèk espyon al veye kay David la pou yo te touye l' nan maten. Men, Mikal, madan David, avèti mari l'. Li di l': -Si ou pa chape poul ou lannwit lan, denmen maten ou mouri.
Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him that he might kill him in the morning. Michal, David's wife, told him, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
12 Li fè David soti nan yon fennèt. David kouri, li chape kò l'.
So Michal let David down through the window. He went and fled, and escaped.
13 Lè sa a, Mikal pran yon zidòl wogatwa, li mete l' kouche sou kabann lan, li pran yon zòrye fèt ak plim kabrit, li mete l' nan plas tèt la, epi li kouvri tout ak yon dra.
Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed. Then she put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 Lè moun Sayil yo vin pou pran David, Mikal di yo David kouche malad.
When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, “He is sick.”
15 Men, Sayil voye mesye yo tounen pou y' al wè David ak je yo. Li di yo: -Mennen l' isit ban mwen ak tout kabann li an pou m' fè touye l'.
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David; he said, “Bring him up to me in the bed, so that I may kill him.”
16 Lè mesye yo antre anndan kay la, yo jwenn estati zidòl wogatwa a sou kabann lan ak zòrye plim kabrit la kote pou tèt la te ye a.
When the messengers came in, behold, the household idol was in the bed along with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
17 Sayil di Mikal konsa: -Poukisa ou woule m' konsa? Ou kite lènmi mwen an chape. Mikal reponn li: -Li te di m' si m' pa kite l' chape, l'ap touye m'!
Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?” Michal answered Saul, “He said to me, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'”
18 David menm kouri chape kò l', l' al jwenn Samyèl lavil Rama. Li rakonte l' tou sa Sayil te fè l'. Apre sa, li menm ansanm ak Samyèl y' ale rete lavil Najòt.
Now David fled and escaped, and went to Samuel in Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
19 Y' al di Sayil men David te lavil Najòt nan zòn Rama a.
It was told to Saul, saying, “See, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
20 Sayil voye kèk moun al arete l'. Lè yo rive, yo wè yon gwoup pwofèt ki te gen lespri Bondye a nan tèt yo, avèk Samyèl kanpe devan yo tankou chèf yo. Lamenm lespri Bondye a desann nan tèt moun Sayil te voye yo, epi yo pran fè menm bagay ak pwofèt yo.
Then Saul sent messengers to capture David. When they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 Yo vin di Sayil sa. Lè sa a, li voye lòt moun ankò. Yo menm tou, yo pran fè menm bagay ak pwofèt yo tou. Yon twazyèm fwa, Sayil voye lòt moun ankò. Yo menm tou, yo pran fè menm bagay ak pwofèt yo.
When Saul was told this, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Lè sa a, Sayil leve, l' ale li menm lavil Rama. Lè li rive bò gwo sitèn dlo ki lavil Sekou a, li mande kote Samyèl ak David ye. Yo di l' yo lavil Najòt nan zòn Rama a.
Then he also went to Ramah and came to the deep well that is in Seku. He asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” Someone said, “See, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”
23 Li pati dèyè yo. Antan l'ap mache konsa, lespri Bondye a desann nan tèt li tou. Li t'ap fè menm bagay ak pwofèt yo sou tout wout la, jouk li rive devan lavil Najòt nan zòn Rama a.
Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came upon him, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Li wete tout rad sou li, li fè tankou pwofèt yo devan Samyèl. Apre sa, li tonbe atè a toutouni. Li rete tout rès jounen an ak tout lannwit lan atè a konsa. Se depi lè sa a, yo di: Menm Sayil gen lè pwofèt tou?
He stripped off his clothes and also prophesied before Samuel. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why they ask, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
