I Samuel 20

And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?

David kouri kite lavil Najòt nan zòn Rama a, li chape kò l', l' al jwenn Jonatan epi li di l': -Kisa m' fè? Kisa m' fè ki mal? Kisa m' fè papa ou pou li vle touye m' konsa?

And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.

Jonatan reponn li: -Mande Bondye padon, ou p'ap mouri! Papa m' pa fè anyen san li pa di m'. Pa gen rezon pou l' ta kache m' sa. Se pa vre, monchè!

And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

Men David sèmante, li di l' konsa: -Papa ou konnen jan ou renmen m'. Li ka di nan kè l': mwen p'ap kite Jonatan konnen sa mwen gen lide fè a pou sa pa fè l' lapenn. M'ap fè ou sèman devan Bondye, sa ki rete pou m' mouri a pa anyen.

Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

Jonatan di l': -Sa ou vle m' fè pou ou!

And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.

David reponn li: -Denmen se fèt lalin nouvèl. Mwen te sipoze manje ansanm ak wa a. Men, avèk pèmisyon ou, m'ap pati, mwen pral kache nan bwa jouk apre denmen nan aswè.

If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth–lehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

Si papa ou wè mwen pa la epi li mande pou mwen, w'a di l' mwen te mande ou pèmisyon pou m' kouri rive lakay mwen, lavil Betleyèm, paske se lè pou yo fè sèvis ofrann bèt pou yo fè chak lanne pou tout fanmi mwen.

If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

Si li di li dakò, w'a konnen mwen sove. Men, si li fè kolè, w'a konnen li soti vre pou li touye m'.

Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

Tanpri, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, m'ap mande ou yon favè, paske se Seyè a, Bondye menm, ki te fè ou mare zanmi avè m'. Pa kite anyen rive m'. Si m' antò, se ou menm ki pou touye m'. Pa kite m' rive devan papa ou!

And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?

Jonatan di li: -Wete sa nan lide ou, monchè! Si mwen vin konnen papa m' soti vre pou touye ou, m'ap avèti ou!

Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?

David di li: -Ki moun ki va fè m' konnen si papa ou reponn ou mal?

And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.

Jonatan di li: -Ann al deyò nan jaden yo. Epi yo tou de soti, y' al nan jaden yo.

And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;

Lèfini, Jonatan di David konsa: -Mwen pran Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou temwen. Denmen lè konsa, mwen pral mande papa m' sa ki genyen. M'ap fè menm bagay la tou apre denmen. Si mwen wè li pa gen ankenn move santiman nan kè li pou ou, m'ap voye komisyon ba ou.

The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

Men, si li fè lide pou li touye ou, mwen mande Bondye pou l' ban mwen pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen, si mwen pa voye komisyon ba ou pou ou chape kò ou. Mwen mande pou Seyè a toujou la avè ou, menm jan li te konn kanpe la avèk papa m'.

And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:

Bon, koulye a menm, si lè sa a mwen poko mouri, tanpri kenbe pwomès ou te fè m' devan Bondye a. Pa lage m'.

But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

Toujou aji byen ak moun lakay mwen. Menm lè Seyè a va fin disparèt tout lènmi ou yo sou latè,

So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.

piga ou janm kase kontra zanmi nou te pase yonn ak lòt la nan non fanmi nou. Si ou kase l', se pou Bondye pini ou.

And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

Jonatan fè David pwomèt li ankò l'ap toujou renmen l', paske li menm Jonatan li te renmen David tankou li renmen pwòp tèt pa li.

Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

Apre sa, Jonatan di David: -Denmen se fèt lalin nouvèl la, y'ap wè ou pa la, paske plas ou ap rete vid.

And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.

Apre denmen y'ap wè ou pa la menm. Lè sa a, w'a desann, w'a ale kote ou te kache dènye fwa a. W'a rete kache dèyè pil wòch Ezèl la.

And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.

Mwen menm, m'a tire twa flèch nan direksyon pil wòch la, tankou se pil wòch la menm m'ap vize.

And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.

Lèfini, m'a rele domestik mwen an, m'a voye l' al chache flèch yo pote ban mwen. Si ou tande mwen di l': Gade, flèch yo tonbe bò isit anvan yo gen tan rive kote ou ye a, al pran yo pou mwen, sa vle di ou pa bezwen pè anyen, ou mèt vini. Mwen fè sèman nan non Seyè a, anyen p'ap rive ou.

But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.

Men, si mwen di domestik la: flèch yo tonbe bò lòt bò, yo depase kote ou ye a, leve met deyò, paske se Seyè a menm k'ap voye ou ale.

And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.

Pou pwomès nou fè yonn bay lòt la, Seyè a ap fè n'ap kenbe l' pou tout tan.

So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.

Se konsa David t' al kache kò li nan jaden yo. Lè fèt lalin nouvèl la rive, wa Sayil vin chita bò tab la pou l' manje.

And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.

Li te chita nan plas li, sou fotèy bò miray la. Jonatan te chita bò tab la tou anfas wa a. Abnè menm te chita sou kote wa a. Plas David la te vid.

Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.

Jou sa a, Sayil pa t' di anyen, paske li t'ap di nan kè l': Se yon bagay ki dwe rive l'. Li pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Bondye. Sèten, li pa nan kondisyon vre pou l' sèvi Bondye.

And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?

Men, nan denmen, jou apre jou lalin nouvèl la, plas David la te vid ankò. Sayil mande Jonatan: -Poukisa David, pitit Izayi a, pa vin manje ni ayè, ni jòdi a?

And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth–lehem:

Jonatan reponn li: -Li te mande m' pèmisyon pou l' al lavil Betleyèm.

And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.

Li te di m': Tanpri, kite m' ale paske fanmi nou ap fè yon sèvis ofrann bèt nan lavil Betleyèm. Frè m' yo te voye lòd ban mwen pou m' la. Si ou se zanmi m', kite m' al wè fanmi m' yo. Se poutèt sa li pa nan plas li bò tab wa a.

Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?

Sayil fè yon sèl kòlè sou Jonatan, li di l': -Ou se yon loraj kale! Koulye a mwen konnen se pran w'ap pran pou David. Se yon wont pou ou! Se yon wont pou manman ou!

For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.

Men, m' fè ou konnen toutotan pitit Izayi sa a vivan, ou p'ap janm wa nan peyi a, ou p'ap janm ka gouvènen. Voye chache l' mennen ban mwen. Se pou l' mouri.

And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?

Men Jonatan reponn: -Pouki pou yo touye l' la? Kisa li fè?

And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.

Lè sa a, Sayil leve frenn li tankou si li ta vle voye l' sou Jonatan. Jonatan vin wè papa l' te soti pou touye David vre.

So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

Li leve soti bò tab la, li te fache anpil. Jou sa a, li pa manje anyen. Se te dezyèm jou fèt lalin nouvèl la. Sa te fè l' lapenn anpil pou David, paske papa l' te pale David mal.

And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.

Nan denmen maten, Jonatan leve, l' al nan jaden yo pou l' wè David jan li te pwomèt li a. Li pran yon jenn gason avè l'.

And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

Epi li di l': -Kouri non. Ou pral chache flèch mwen pral tire yo. Ti gason an pran kouri. Jonatan voye flèch la pou l' depase ti gason an.

And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?

Lè ti gason an rive kote flèch la te tonbe a, Jonatan pale byen fò, li di l' konsa: -Flèch la pi devan an toujou!

And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

Pa kanpe la konsa. Fè vit non! Ti gason an ranmase flèch la, li pote l' tounen bay mèt li.

But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

Li pa t' konnen sa sa te vle di. Sèl Jonatan ak David te konnen.

And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.

Jonatan bay ti gason an tout zam li yo, epi li di l' pote yo tounen lavil pou li.

And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.

Lè ti gason an fin ale, David soti dèyè pil wòch la, li lage kò l' atè, li bese twa fwa devan Jonatan. Apre sa, li menm ak Jonatan, yo tonbe yonn nan bra lòt, yo t'ap kriye. Men David te nan pi gwo lapenn pase Jonatan.

And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.

Apre sa, Jonatan di David konsa: -Ale ak kè poze! Nou te fè sèman devan Seyè a pou nou toujou zanmi. Bondye va fè fanmi nou toujou rete zanmi tou. Lè sa a, David leve, l' ale fè wout li. Jonatan menm tounen lavil la.
