Kisa ou dwe fe si ou rankontre bab pou bab ak yon bann sanpwel sou wout ou nannuit?

Pwovèb la di se lougawou ki mache lannuit :)
Sa w'ap chache nan lari a nan mitan lannuit lan?
Si'w ta rankontre ak yon bann chanpwèl sou wout ou a minui, enben ...chans pou yo, malchans pou ou!  Ou sanlè tounen zonbi :)

Aktyèlman, lari an laj anpil.  Ou mache sou bò pa w ak tèt ou byen dwat, enpi yo pran bò pa yo.  Y'ap regle zafè pa yo, ou menm w'ap regle zafè pa w.  Si w pa kontrarye yo, m pa wè rezon pou yo ta kontarye w.

Poukisa gen moun Haiti se a l'heure que w'ap manje yo vin rann ou visit?

An jeneral, moun pa manje sou moun, Ayiti, san w pa ofri moun.
Gendemoun ki konn ap bat grangou pou detwa jou.  Se diyite yo ki fè yo pa tonbe mande nan lari a.
Si w remake w'ap resevwa yon vizitè chak lè w'ap pare w pou w atable w, petèt moun nan razè, li nan di, li grangou.  Petèt se ou menm ki ba li sèl manje li mete nan vant li pou jounen an.
Malerezman, zafè grangou an se yon pwoblèm serye nan peyi a.  Gen moun, se ak yon grenn sèl anba lang yo ke yo pase jounen an.  Mwen pa ka di w sa pou w fè, men mwen aprann pou m separe sa m genyen piti kon l ye.
Mwen sonje lè mwen menm ak sè m yo patko kite Ayiti;  manman m te nan peyi Etazini, l'ap travay $3.35 pa è.  Si lè l fin peye bill li nan peyi blan an, li pa gen lajan ki rete pou'l voye okipe nou Ayiti, ah! n'oblije al dòmi grangou.  Sa pa't fèt souvan, men m kapab imajinen kouman sa ye pou moun ki p'ap travay e ki pa gen espwa resevwa lajann okenn kote.
Mezanmi, si'n ta pran ekri yon liv sou granmoun, potorik gason, jenn moun ak timoun ki nan grangou fòse e k'ap moute kabann san manje, san konnen kijan demen yo ap ye, dlo lanmè pa ta menm sifi kòm lank pou ekri.

I don't know if I asked this question before. How to translate'To make sure'? "Make sure he writes it down." or "We made sure of the route we had to follow before we left." or "I want to make sure that you are okay." Let me know if I asked again.

M pa sonje si ou te mande m ak si ou pa t mande m.  Mwen chache yon kesyon ki parèy li, e m pa't jwenn aryen :)

to make sure → asire, fè sèten
one example:
Anvan l te soti, li te asire l ke tout pòt te klete.
Before going out, she make sure that all doors were locked.

is there a song to help with remembering the days of the week?

I do know of one song.  I don't think it was made for remembering the days of the week.  And I don't remember which group sings it.  This won't be any help if you don't know the tune,  but I can't be any help there :)
Maybe someone will have something better.

The songs goes:
lendi m'al travay
madi m'al travay
mèkredi m'al travay
jedi m'al travay
vandredi m'al travay
samdi m'al nan mache
dimanch m'al banboche

Allo zanmim I'm trying to understand "Pale non Seyè. Sèvitè ou la ap koute ou." What does the non mean? Speak now? 1 Samyèl 3:9 Mèsi zanj kreyòl

Bonswa :)

This "non" is more like an "emphatic word".   It doesn't translate as "no" or "now" in English.

"Pale non" will be translated as "Speak."

Here are some other examples:

1. Vini non!
    Come!

2.  Manje non!
     Eat!

3.  Pale avè m non!
     Talk to me!

Sometimes, we use the Creole "Wi" in that same manner.  Some examples.

4.  Mwen renmen l wi.
     I like it.

5. Mwen fini avèk travay la wi.
    I'm done with the job.

6. Mwen prale wi.
    I'm leaving.

See this link here for more examples: Emphatic WI or NON

Is there a saying for NEVER SAY NEVER instead 'pa janm di jame'?

Try:

Jamè di jamè → never say never

or this expression:
Toutotan tèt ou pa koupe, ou pa ka di w p'ap mete chapo.
As long as you still have your head, you can't say that you won't wear a hat.
