1 Samuel 30

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBLES DES PEUPLES
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;	1 David arriva le surlendemain à Siklag avec ses hommes. Or les Amalécites avaient fait un raid dans le Négueb jusqu’à Siklag, ils avaient frappé la ville et l’avaient incendiée.
2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.	2 Ils avaient capturé les femmes et tous ceux qui s’y trouvaient, petits et grands, mais sans tuer personne; et ils avaient repris leur route en emmenant tout le monde.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.	3 Lorsque David et ses compagnons arrivèrent à la ville, ils la trouvèrent incendiée: leurs femmes, leurs fils et leurs filles avaient été emmenés.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.	4 David et le peuple qui l’accompagnait se mirent à crier et à pleurer jusqu’à ce qu’ils n’aient plus la force de pleurer.
5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.	5 Les deux femmes de David, Ahinoam de Yizréel et Abigayil femme de Nabal de Karmel, avaient été aussi emmenées captives.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.	6 David se vit dans une grande détresse car ses gens parlaient de le lapider, tellement chacun se désespérait à cause de ses fils et de ses filles. Mais David reprit courage en Yahvé son Dieu.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.	7 David dit au prêtre Ébyatar, fils d’Ahimélek: “Apporte-moi l’éphod.” Ébyatar apporta l’éphod à David.
8 And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.	8 David consulta Yahvé: “Dois-je poursuivre cette bande? Est-ce que je la rattraperai?” La réponse fut: “Poursuis-les, tu les rattraperas et tu délivreras les captifs.”
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.	9 David partit; 600 compagnons marchèrent avec lui jusqu’au torrent de Bésor,
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.	10 mais 400 seulement continuèrent la poursuite avec David, car les 200 autres s’étaient arrêtés, trop fatigués pour traverser le torrent de Bésor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;	11 Ils trouvèrent dans la campagne un Égyptien et le conduisirent à David. Ils lui donnèrent du pain et de l’eau, il mangea et il but.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.	12 Ils lui donnèrent encore une tranche d’un gâteau de figues et deux grappes de raisins secs, il mangea et ses esprits lui revinrent, car il n’avait pas mangé ni bu depuis trois jours et trois nuits.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.	13 David lui dit: “À qui appartiens-tu et d’où viens-tu?” Il dit: “Je suis un jeune Égyptien esclave d’un Amalécite; mon maître m’a abandonné depuis trois jours car j’étais malade.
14 We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.	14 Nous avons fait une expédition dans le Négueb des Kérétiens, dans le Négueb de Juda et dans le Négueb de Caleb; nous avons brûlé Siklag.”
15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.	15 David lui dit: “Peux-tu nous conduire vers ces pillards?” Il répondit: “Jure-moi par ton Dieu de ne pas me tuer et de ne pas me livrer à mon maître, et je te conduirai vers ces pillards.”
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.	16 Il le conduisit donc. Les pillards étaient dispersés, mangeant, buvant, faisant la fête avec tout le butin qu’ils avaient ramassé au pays des Philistins et au pays de Juda.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.	17 David les massacra depuis l’aube jusqu’au soir et les extermina, pas un d’entre eux n’échappa sauf 400 jeunes qui s’étaient enfuis sur des chameaux.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.	18 David récupéra tout ce que les Amalécites avaient pris; il récupéra entre autres ses deux femmes.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.	19 Rien ne fut laissé aux Amalécites, petit ou grand, garçon ou fille; rien non plus de tout le butin qu’ils avaient ramassé: David ramena tout.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.	20 David prit leur petit et leur gros bétail, et l’on poussait ce troupeau devant lui en disant: “Voilà le butin de David!”
21 And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.	21 Lorsque David arriva près des 200 hommes qui s’étaient arrêtés, trop fatigués, au torrent de Bésor, ils vinrent au-devant de lui et de la troupe qui l’accompagnait. David s’avança vers eux et les salua,
22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.	22 mais parmi ceux qui l’accompagnaient, les plus mauvais et méchants prirent la parole: “Puisque ces hommes ne sont pas venus avec nous, nous ne leur donnerons rien du butin que nous avons récupéré. Nous ne leur rendrons que leurs femmes et leurs fils, ils les emmèneront et partiront.”
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.	23 Mais David leur dit: “Non, frères, ne faites pas cela après ce que Yahvé a fait pour vous. Voyez qu’il nous a protégés, il a livré entre nos mains cette bande de pillards qui étaient venus nous attaquer.
24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.	24 Qui pourrait être d’accord avec vous? Le combattant et celui qui garde les bagages auront part égale.”
25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.	25 Depuis ce jour, cette façon de faire a été la règle et est devenue une coutume en Israël.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;	26 Une fois rentré à Siklag, David envoya une part du butin aux anciens de Juda; il leur dit: “Voici pour vous un cadeau sur le butin que nous avons pris aux ennemis de Yahvé.”
27 To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,	27 Il l’envoya à Bétoul, à Rama du Négueb, à Yattir,
28 And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,	28 à Aroër, à Sifmot, à Echtémoa,
29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,	29 à Karmel, dans les villes de Yérahméel, dans les villes des Kénites,
30 And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach,	30 à Horma, à Bor-Achan, à Éter,
31 And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.	31 à Hébron, et dans tous les endroits que David avait fréquentés avec ses compagnons: chacun eut sa part.
