I Samuel 25

And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

Samyèl mouri, tout pèp Izrayèl la sanble pou yo kriye lanmò li. Lèfini, yo antere l' anndan lakay li lavil Rama. Apre sa, David pati, li desann nan dezè Paran an.

And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

Te gen yon nonm moun lavil Maon ki te gen bitasyon l' lavil Kamèl. Nonm lan te rich anpil: li te gen twamil (3.000) tèt mouton ak mil (1000) tèt kabrit. Lè sa a, msye te lavil Kamèl pou fè taye lenn mouton l' yo.

Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

Msye te rele Nabal, madanm li te rele Abigayèl. Se te yon fanm ki te gen anpil lespri, lèfini li te bèl. Men, mari a te gen move jan, li pa t' konn boule byen ak moun menm. Se te fanmi moun Kalèb yo.

And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.

Antan David nan dezè a, li vin konnen Nabal t'ap taye lenn mouton l' yo.

And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

Li voye dis jenn gason bò kote l'. Li di yo konsa: -Moute lavil Kamèl, ale lakay Nabal, n'a di l' mwen voye bonjou pou li.

And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

Men sa n'a di l': David, frè ou, voye bonjou pou ou ak pou tout moun lakay ou. Li swete tout bagay ap mache byen lakay ou.

And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.

Li tande ou ap taye lenn mouton ou yo. Li voye di ou lè gadò mouton ou yo te avèk nou, nou pa t' janm fè yo anyen. Yo pa janm pèdi anyen pandan tout tan yo te nan zòn Kamèl la.

Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

Ou mèt mande yo, y'a di ou. David voye mande ou pou resevwa mesye pa l' yo byen, paske se yon jou fèt nou rive isit la. Tanpri, mèt! Bay sa ou genyen pou nou k'ap sèvi ou, ak pou David, zanmi ou lan.

And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.

Mesye David yo rive vre, yo bay Nabal komisyon an nan non David. Epi yo rete tann.

And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

Apre yon ti tan, Nabal reponn yo: -David? Pitit gason Izayi a? Mwen pa konnen l' non. Atò, koulye peyi a plen yon bann domestik ki sove kite lakay mèt yo.

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?

Anhan! Pou m' pran pen ak dlo lakay mwen ak vyann bèt nou fè touye pou gadò mouton m' yo, pou m' bay yon bann moun mwen pa konnen kote yo soti?

So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.

Mesye yo tounen al jwenn David. Lè yo rive, yo rapòte ba li tou sa Nabal te di.

And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.

David di yo: -Pran nepe nou, pase yo nan ren nou. Yo tout pase nepe yo nan ren yo. David tou. Lèfini, katsan (400) nan mesye yo ale avèk David. Lòt desan yo (200) rete dèyè ak pwovizyon yo.

But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.

Yonn nan domestik Nabal yo al avèti Abigayèl, madanm Nabal, li di l': -David te voye kèk mesaje soti nan dezè a avèk bèl bonjou pou mèt nou an. Men li menm, li pale mal ak yo.

But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:

Men, mesye sa yo te bon pou nou: Yo pa t' janm chache nou kont. Nou pa t' janm pèdi anyen pandan tout tan nou te la ansanm ak yo nan savann lan.

They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

Yo te pwoteje nou lajounen kou lannwit pandan tout tan nou te la nan mitan yo ap pran swen bann mouton nou yo.

Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

Koulye a, kalkile byen sa ou wè ou ka fè, paske bagay la ka vire mal ni pou mèt nou ni pou tout fanmi l'. Mari ou sitèlman gen move jan, moun pa ka pale ak li.

Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

Abigayèl prese pran desan (200) pen, de gwo veso an po bèt plen diven, senk mouton tou kwit, de barik grenn griye, san mamit rezen chèch, desan (200) gato fèt ak figfrans chèch, li chaje tou sa sou bourik.

And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

Lèfini, li di domestik li yo: -Nou mèt pran devan, mwen menm mwen dèyè. Men li pa di Nabal, mari l' anyen.

And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.

Abigayèl te moute sou yon bourik. Li t'ap desann yon ti mòn lè li rive nan yon koub, li tonbe bab pou bab ak David ki t'ap mache sou li ansanm ak mesye l' yo. Yo kontre.

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.

David t'ap di nan kè li: -Sa m' te bezwen pwoteje tou sa nonm sa a te genyen nan dezè a fè? Li pa janm pèdi anyen nan sa ki te pou li. Epi se konsa l'ap peye m' pou tout byen mwen fè pou li yo?

So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si anvan denmen maten mwen pa touye dènye moun lakay li, granmoun kou timoun.

And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,

Wè Abigayèl wè David, li kouri desann bourik li a, li lage kò l' ajenou devan David, li bese tèt li jouk atè.

And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.

Apre sa, li lage kò l' nan pye David, li di l' konsa: -Tanpri, chèf mwen, ban m' pèmisyon pale avè ou. Tout fòt la se pou mwen. Koute sa m'ap di ou.

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

Tanpri, pa okipe nonm yo rele Nabal la. Se yon vòryen. Se pa pou gremesi yo rele l' Nabal ki vle di moun fou. Mwen menm, mèt, mwen pa t' wè mesye ou te voye yo.

Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

Se Seyè a menm ki anpeche ou mete san deyò pou pran revanj ou. Koulye a, mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a ak devan ou menm, mèt mwen, se pou tout lènmi ou yo, tout moun ki ta vle fè ou mal, fini tankou Nabal.

And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.

Koulye a, mèt mwen, men sa mwen pote fè ou kado pou ou bay moun k'ap mache avè ou yo.

I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

Tanpri, mèt, padonnen sa mwen fè ki mal. Seyè a va ba ou yon fanmi ki p'ap janm disparèt, paske batay w'ap mennen yo se batay Seyè a yo ye. Ou p'ap janm fè anyen ki mal nan tout lavi ou.

Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.

Si yon moun konprann pou li atake ou, si l'ap chache touye ou, Seyè a, Bondye ou la, va pwoteje ou. L'a sere ou bò kote l' tankou lè yon moun ap sere yon bagay li renmen anpil. Men l'ap pran lènmi ou yo, l'ap voye yo jete byen lwen tankou lè yon moun ap voye wòch nan fistibal.

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

Konsa, lè Seyè a va fè pou ou tout bèl bagay li te pwomèt ou yo, lè l'a mete ou chèf sou pèp Izrayèl la,

That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.

wi, lè sa a, mèt mwen, ou p'ap bezwen nan règrèt, ni konsyans ou p'ap boulvèse deske ou te mete san moun deyò san rezon osinon deske ou te pran revanj ou sou moun. Lè Seyè a va beni ou, tanpri pa bliye m'.

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:

David di Abigayèl konsa: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ki voye ou jòdi a vin kontre avè m'!

And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.

Kite m' di Bondye mèsi pou bon konprann ou genyen an, pou ou menm tou deske jòdi a ou vin kenbe men m' pou m' pa mete san moun deyò, pou m' pa tire revanj mwen mwen menm.

For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

Seyè a pa kite m' fè ou anyen. Men tou, si ou pa t' prese vin kontre avè m', mwen fè sèman devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, anvan denmen maten tout gason fanmi Nabal yo, ata ti gason piti yo, t'ap pèdi lavi yo.

So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

Abigayèl renmèt David tou sa li te pote, epi David di l': -Tounen lakay ou ak kè poze! Mwen koute tou sa ou di m' la a. Ou pa bezwen bat kò ou.

And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

Abigayèl tounen al jwenn Nabal lakay li. Nabal t'ap fè yon gwo resepsyon, parèy ak resepsyon wa yo konn fè. Nabal te sou anpil, kè l' te kontan. Madanm lan pa di l' anyen jouk nan denmen maten.

But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.

Nan maten, lè Nabal fin desoule, madanm li rakonte l' tout bagay. Msye fè yon kriz kè, li vin paralize nan tout kò l'.

And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.

Dis jou apre sa, Seyè a frape Nabal, Nabal mouri.

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.

Lè David vin konnen Nabal mouri, li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Li fè Nabal peye wont li te fè m' lan, li kenbe men m' pou m' pa fè sa ki mal. Seyè a fè mechanste Nabal la tonbe sou pwòp tèt li. Apre sa a David voye di Abigayèl li ta renmen l' pou madanm.

And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.

Moun David yo al jwenn Abigayèl lavil Kamèl. Yo pale avè l', yo di l' konsa: -David voye nou bò kote ou pou nou mennen ou ba li pou l' sa marye avè ou.

And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.

Abigayèl leve, li lage kò l' ajenou, li bese tèt li atè epi li di: -Se domestik li mwen ye, mwen tou pare pou m' lave pye moun pa l' yo.

And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

Abigayèl leve byen vit, li moute bourik li. Li pran senk jenn fi ki t'ap sèvi avè l' lakay li. Li pati ak mesaje David yo. Se konsa li vin madanm David.

David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.

David te deja marye ak Akinoam, moun lavil Jizreyèl. Li vin pran Abigayèl koulye a, sa te fè l' de madanm.

But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.

Sayil menm bò pa l' te pran Mikal, pitit fi li a ki te madanm David, li marye l' ak Palti, pitit gason Layis, moun lavil Galim.
