1 Samyèl 27
1 David di nan kè l': -Yon jou konsa Sayil ap touye m'. L'a pi bon pou mwen si m' sove al kache nan peyi Filisti a. Konsa, Sayil va sispann mache chache m' nan tout peyi pèp Izrayèl la. p'ap gen danje pou mwen ankò.
And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
2 David leve ansanm ak sisan (600) moun pa l' yo, y' ale kay Akich, pitit gason Maòk la, ki te wa lavil Gat.
And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men that were with him, unto Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
3 David ak mesye l' yo rete ak Akich lavil Gat ak tout fanmi yo. David te gen de madanm ak li: Akinoam, yon fanm lavil Jizreyèl ak Abigayèl, madan defen Nabal, moun lavil Kamèl.
And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s wife.
4 Lè Sayil vin tande David te kouri al kache lavil Gat, li sispann mache chache l' pou mete men sou li.
And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
5 David di Akich konsa: -Si ou se zanmi m' vre, ban m' yon ti plas nan yonn nan bouk andeyò yo pou m' rete. Pa gen rezon, monwa, pou m' rete viv ansanm avè ou nan kapital la.
And David said unto Achish, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
6 Se konsa, jou sa a, Akich ba li lavil Ziklag. Se poutèt sa, depi jou sa a, lavil Ziklag toujou rete pou wa peyi Jida yo.
Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
7 David pase ennan kat mwa ap viv nan peyi moun Filisti yo.
And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
8 Tanzantan, David ak mesye l' yo te konn pati al atake moun Jechou yo, moun Jizi yo ak moun Amalèk yo jouk lakay yo. Depi tout tan se pèp sa yo ki te rete nan zòn ki soti depi lavil Telayim, nan direksyon lavil Chou rive jouk peyi Lejip.
And David and his men went up, and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for those [nations] were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
9 Se konsa, David te dechèpiye tout peyi a, li touye fanm kou gason. Li pran mouton moun yo, bèf yo, bourik yo, chamo yo, ata rad yo. Lèfini, li tounen al jwenn Akich.
And David smote the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel; and he returned, and came to Achish.
10 Lè Akich mande l': -Ki kote ou t' al demele ou jòdi a? David te kouri reponn li se nan zòn Negèv nan peyi Jida a, osinon nan zòn sid peyi moun Jerakmeyèl yo, ou ankò nan zòn sid teritwa moun Kayen yo.
And Achish said, Against whom have ye made a raid to-day? And David said, Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.
11 Men David te toujou touye tout moun, fanm kou gason, paske li t'ap di nan kè l' konsa pesonn p'ap ka al di moun lavil Gat yo sa li te fè yo. Se sa David t'ap mache fè pandan tout tan li pase nan peyi Filisti a.
And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David, and so hath been his manner all the while he hath dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
12 Akich menm te fè David konfyans. Li t'ap di nan kè l': -Msye tèlman fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo rayi l', l'ap blije rete pase tout rès lavi l' ap sèvi m'.
And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
