1 Samyèl 17
Haitian Creole Version
17 ¶ Moun Filisti yo sanble tout sòlda yo lavil Soko nan peyi moun Jida yo, pou y' al goumen. Yo pran pozisyon yon kote yo rele Fwontyè San, ant lavil Soko ak lavil Azeka.
2 Sayil vini ansanm ak moun Izrayèl yo, yo pran pozisyon nan fon Bwadchenn lan, epi yo ranje kò yo anfas moun Filisti yo pou y' al goumen ak yo.
3 Moun Filisti yo te sou yon ti mòn yon bò, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te sou yon lòt ti mòn anfas. Fon an te nan mitan de lame yo.
4 Yon bowòm yo rele Golyat, moun lavil Gat, soti nan kan moun Filisti yo, li parèt devan sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, li mande pou yonn ladan yo vin fè fas kare ak li. Li te gen nèf pye wotè.
5 Li te gen yon kas fè nan tèt li ak yon rad fèt an plak fè sou li. Rad la te peze sansenkant (150) liv pou pi piti.
6 Li te gen janbyè fèt an fè nan janm li, ak yon ti frenn fèt an asye pandye sou zepòl li.
7 Bwa gwo frenn ki te nan men l' lan te menm gwosè ak yon gwo manch pilon. Pwent frenn lan te fèt an fè. Li te peze vin liv konsa. Te gen yon sòlda ki t'ap mache devan l' avèk plak pwotèj li a.
8 Golyat kanpe, epi li rele moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li di yo konsa: -Se goumen nou vin goumen? Poukisa atò? Mwen menm, se moun Filisti mwen ye. Nou menm, se esklav Sayil nou ye. Chwazi yon nonm nan mitan nou pou l' vin kare avè m'.
9 Si l' rive bat mwen pou l' touye m', moun Filisti yo va vin esklav moun Izrayèl yo. Men, si se mwen ki bat li, si m' touye l', se nou menm moun Izrayèl yo k'ap vin esklav moun Filisti yo pou sèvi yo.
10 Li di yo ankò: -Jòdi a mwen mete tout moun Izrayèl yo an defi. M' pini nou jwenn yon nonm ki pou vin kare avè m'.
11 Lè Sayil ak tout sòlda moun Izrayèl yo tande sa sòlda Filisti a te di yo, yo vin pè anpil. Yo pran tranble.
12 ¶ David te pitit gason yon nonm fanmi Efrata yo, ki te rete lavil Betleyèm, nan peyi Jida. Nonm lan te rele Izayi. Li te gen wit pitit gason. Sou rèy wa Sayil, li te deja fin granmoun.
13 Twa premye pitit gason l' yo te pati al nan lagè ansanm ak Sayil. Pi gran an te rele Eliyab, dezyèm lan te rele Abinadab, twazyèm lan te rele Chama.
14 David te dènye pitit Izayi. Twa pi gran yo te pati ansanm ak Sayil.
15 Tanzantan David te konn soti lakay Sayil desann lavil Betleyèm pou l' al okipe mouton papa l' yo.
16 Chak maten, chak aswè, pandan karant jou, Golyat te vin kanpe devan sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo pou mande yo batay.
17 Yon jou, Izayi di David konsa: -Pran yon mamit grenn griye ak dis pen sa yo, kouri pote yo bay frè ou yo nan kan an.
18 Pran dis fwomaj sa yo, pote yo bay kòmandan an. W'a pran nouvèl frè ou yo, ki jan yo ye. Epi w'a fè yo ba ou yon bagay pou m' sèten ou wè yo an sante.
19 Wa Sayil, frè ou yo ansanm ak tout lòt mesye Izrayèl yo nan Fon Bwadchenn lan ap goumen ak moun Filisti yo.
20 Nan denmen maten, David leve byen bonè, li kite yon gadò pou veye mouton yo pou li, li pran manje a, epi li pati jan Izayi te di l' la. Lè li rive nan kan an, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te fèk soti pou y' al pran pozisyon batay. Yo t'ap rele pou chofe sòlda yo.
21 Lame moun Filisti yo ak lame moun Izrayèl yo vin kanpe yonn anfas lòt pou batay la.
22 David kite manje li te pote a nan men nonm ki te reskonsab pwovizyon yo, li kouri kote batay la tapral mare a, l' al jwenn frè li yo. Li mande yo nouvèl yo.
23 Li t'ap pale ak yo konsa, lè Golyat, gwo sòlda Filisti a, moun lavil Gat la, soti nan kan moun Filisti yo, li vin kanpe devan sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo pou mande yo batay jan l' te konn fè l' anvan an. David tande sa Golyat t'ap di.
24 Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè Golyat parèt yo pran kouri tèlman yo te pè.
25 Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Gade nonm lan non! Tande jan l'ap mete nou an defi! Si yon moun rive bat nonm sa a, wa a ap fè moun sa a rich, l'ap marye l' ak pitit fi li. Lèfini, l'ap bay tout fanmi l' yo dwa pou yo pa janm bezwen peye ankenn taks nan peyi Izrayèl.
26 David mande moun ki te kanpe bò kote l' yo: -Kisa y'a bay moun ki va touye sòlda Filisti a, moun ki va wete pèp Izrayèl la nan gwo wont sa a? Epitou, kisa sòlda Filisti sa a, ki pa moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a, ye menm pou l' mete lame Bondye vivan an an defi vin goumen avè l' la?
27 Mesye yo di l' tou sa y'a fè pou moun ki va touye Golyat la.
28 Eliyab, pi gran nan frè David yo, te tande l' ap pale ak mesye yo. Li fache sou li, li di l' konsa: -Sa w'ap fè la a? Ki moun k'ap okipe mouton ou yo pou ou nan dezè a? Mwen konnen jan ou lafoura. Ou toujou sou plan! Se batay la ou vin gade.
29 David reponn li: -Kisa m' fè, mezanmi! Yon senp ti keksyon m'ap mande moun yo la a wi!
30 Li vire bò yon lòt moun, li mande l' menm keksyon an. Chak fwa, moun yo fè l' menm repons la.
31 ¶ Kèk moun ki te tande sa David t'ap di al rapòte sa bay Sayil ki voye chache l'.
32 David di Sayil: -Monwa, pesonn pa dwe kite sòlda Filisti sa a ap kraponnen yo konsa. Mwen pral goumen avè l'.
33 Sayil di David konsa: -Non, ou pa ka goumen ak sòlda Filisti sa a. Ou twò piti. Nèg sa a se yon sòlda k'ap goumen depi l' jenn gason.
34 David di Sayil: -Monwa, se mwen menm k'ap okipe mouton papa m' yo. Nenpòt lè yon lyon osinon yon lous vin pran yonn nan mouton yo,
35 mwen kouri dèyè l', m' atake l', mwen wete mouton an anba grif li. Si lè sa a, lyon an osinon lous la konprann pou l' vire sou mwen, mwen pran l' nan gagann, mwen bat li jouk mwen touye l'.
36 Menm jan mwen touye lyon ak lous, se konsa m'a touye sòlda Filisti sa a ki pa moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a. M'ap touye l' paske li mete lame Bondye vivan an an defi vin goumen avè l'.
37 David di ankò: -Seyè a te delivre m' anba pat lyon yo ak pat lous yo, l'a delivre m' tou anba men sòlda Filisti sa a. Sayil di David: -Bon, ale non! Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' avèk ou!
38 Sayil pran pwòp rad lagè pa l' yo, li mete sou David. Li mete yon kas fè nan tèt David ak yon rad fèt an plak fè pou pwoteje kò li.
39 David pase nepe Sayil la nan ren l', anwo rad lagè a. Men, li fè sa pou l' mache, li pa t' kapab, paske li pa t' konn sèvi ak tout bagay sa yo. Li di Sayil konsa: -Mwen pa ka mache ak tout bagay sa yo sou mwen, mwen pa konn sèvi ak yo. Epi David wete tout bagay yo sou li.
40 ¶ Lèfini, li pran baton l' nan men l', li ranmase senk ti wòch won nan ravin lan, li mete yo nan ralfò li sèvi lè l'ap okipe mouton yo. Apre sa, fistibal li nan men l', li mache sou Golyat.
41 Sòlda Filisti a pran mache sou David tou. Nonm ki t'ap pote plak pwotèj li a t'ap mache devan li. Li t'ap pwoche pi pre David.
42 Lè sòlda Filisti a gade, li wè David pi pre, li tchwipe, epi li vire tèt li sou kote, paske li te wè se yon timoun ak cheve koulè kannèl, ak yon bèl ti figi ki te devan l'.
43 Sòlda Filisti a di David konsa: -Gen lè se yon chen mwen ye pou se avèk yon baton w'ap mache sou mwen? Epi li pran non bondye l' yo pou madichonnen David.
44 Apre sa, li di ankò: -Mwen pini ou vanse sou mwen pou ou wè si mwen p'ap pran kò ou pou m' bay zwazo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa manje.
45 David di sòlda Filisti a konsa: -W'ap mache sou mwen avèk nepe, gwo frenn ak ti frenn. Men mwen menm, m'ap mache sou ou nan non Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye lame pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm ou te mete an defi vin goumen avè ou.
46 Jòdi a menm, Seyè a pral lage ou nan men m'. M'ap vide ou atè, m'ap koupe tèt ou. Lèfini, m'ap kite kadav ou ansanm ak kadav sòlda Filisti yo pou zwazo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa manje. Konsa, tout moun nan peyi a va konnen pèp Izrayèl la gen yon Bondye.
47 Wi, tout moun ki sanble isit la a va wè Bondye pa bezwen ni nepe ni frenn pou delivre pèp li a. Batay la rele l' pa l'. Se li menm ki pral lage tout moun Filisti yo nan men pèp Izrayèl la.
48 ¶ Golyat pran mache ankò sou David. David menm t'ap kouri al kontre ak li devan lame yo.
49 Li foure men l' nan ti ralfò li a, li pran yon wòch ladan l', li mete l' nan fistibal la, li vize Golyat. Li frape sòlda Filisti a nan mitan fwon. Wòch la antre nan kalbas tèt sòlda Filisti a. Sòlda Filisti a tonbe fas atè.
50 Se konsa David te bat sòlda Filisti a avèk yon fistibal ak yon wòch. Li vide sòlda Filisti a atè, li touye l'. Li pa t' gen yon bout nepe menm nan men l'.
51 David kouri al bò kote sòlda Filisti a, li moute sou li, li rale nepe sòlda Filisti a soti nan djenn li, li touye l', lèfini li koupe tèt li. Lè moun Filisti yo wè bowòm yo a te mouri, yo kouri met deyò.
52 Sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo ak mesye peyi Jida yo leve, yo pouse gwo rèl lagè yo a, yo pran kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo jouk devan lavil Gat, jouk devan pòtay Ekwon. Te gen kadav moun Filisti sou tout wout ki mennen lavil Charayim lan jouk lavil Gat ak Ekwon.
53 Se lè sa a moun pèp Izrayèl yo sispann kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo, yo kase tèt tounen. Yo fè yon gwo piyay nan kan moun Filisti yo.
54 David pran tèt Golyat, li pote l' lavil Jerizalèm, men li kenbe zam sòlda Filisti a lakay li.
55 Lè Sayil wè David t'ap mache al kontre ak sòlda Filisti a, li mande Abnè, kòmandan lame li a: -Abnè, pitit ki moun jenn gason sa a ye? Abnè reponn li: -Monwa, mwen fè sèman, menm jan ou vivan an, mwen pa konnen l'.
56 Wa a di li: -Al chache konnen pitit ki moun li ye.
57 Apre David fin touye sòlda Filisti a, li tounen nan kan moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Abnè pran l', li mennen l' devan Sayil. David te kenbe tèt sòlda Filisti a nan men l' toujou.
58 Sayil mande l': -Ti gason, pitit ki moun ou ye hen! David reponn: -Mwen se pitit moun pa ou la, Izayi, moun lavil Betleyèm.
1 Samuel 17
New International Version
1 Samuel 17
New International Version
David and Goliath
17 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled(A) at Sokoh in Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes Dammim, between Sokoh(B) and Azekah.(C) 2 Saul and the Israelites assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah(D) and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. 3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.
4 A champion named Goliath,(E) who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.[a] 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels[b]; 6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin(F) was slung on his back. 7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod,(G) and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels.[c] His shield bearer(H) went ahead of him.
8 Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, “Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose(I) a man and have him come down to me. 9 If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us.” 10 Then the Philistine said, “This day I defy(J) the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.(K)” 11 On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.
12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite(L) named Jesse,(M) who was from Bethlehem(N) in Judah. Jesse had eight(O) sons, and in Saul’s time he was very old. 13 Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war: The firstborn was Eliab;(P) the second, Abinadab;(Q) and the third, Shammah.(R) 14 David was the youngest. The three oldest followed Saul, 15 but David went back and forth from Saul to tend(S) his father’s sheep(T) at Bethlehem.
16 For forty days the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand.
17 Now Jesse said to his son David, “Take this ephah[d](U) of roasted grain(V) and these ten loaves of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp. 18 Take along these ten cheeses to the commander of their unit. See how your brothers(W) are and bring back some assurance[e] from them. 19 They are with Saul and all the men of Israel in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines.”
20 Early in the morning David left the flock in the care of a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry. 21 Israel and the Philistines were drawing up their lines facing each other. 22 David left his things with the keeper of supplies,(X) ran to the battle lines and asked his brothers how they were. 23 As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath, stepped out from his lines and shouted his usual(Y) defiance, and David heard it. 24 Whenever the Israelites saw the man, they all fled from him in great fear.
25 Now the Israelites had been saying, “Do you see how this man keeps coming out? He comes out to defy Israel. The king will give great wealth to the man who kills him. He will also give him his daughter(Z) in marriage and will exempt his family from taxes(AA) in Israel.”
26 David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace(AB) from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised(AC) Philistine that he should defy(AD) the armies of the living(AE) God?”
27 They repeated to him what they had been saying and told him, “This is what will be done for the man who kills him.”
28 When Eliab, David’s oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger(AF) at him and asked, “Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the battle.”
29 “Now what have I done?” said David. “Can’t I even speak?” 30 He then turned away to someone else and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before. 31 What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.
32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart(AG) on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
33 Saul replied,(AH) “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion(AI) or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized(AJ) it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion(AK) and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37 The Lord who rescued(AL) me from the paw of the lion(AM) and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with(AN) you.”
38 Then Saul dressed David in his own(AO) tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. 39 David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.
“I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. 40 Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer(AP) in front of him, kept coming closer to David. 42 He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome,(AQ) and he despised(AR) him. 43 He said to David, “Am I a dog,(AS) that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds(AT) and the wild animals!(AU)”
45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin,(AV) but I come against you in the name(AW) of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.(AX) 46 This day the Lord will deliver(AY) you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses(AZ) of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world(BA) will know that there is a God in Israel.(BB) 47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword(BC) or spear that the Lord saves;(BD) for the battle(BE) is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. 49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling(BF) and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut(BG) off his head with the sword.(BH)
When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. 52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath[f] and to the gates of Ekron.(BI) Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim(BJ) road to Gath and Ekron. 53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.
54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.
55 As Saul watched David(BK) going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, “Abner,(BL) whose son is that young man?”
Abner replied, “As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know.”
56 The king said, “Find out whose son this young man is.”
57 As soon as David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul, with David still holding the Philistine’s head.
58 “Whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him.
David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse(BM) of Bethlehem.”
