1 Samuel 7
1 And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and brought up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
Se konsa moun lavil Kiriyat Jearim yo vin pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a. Yo mete l' lakay Abinadad, sou tèt yon ti mòn. Yo chwazi Eleaza, pitit gason Abinadad la, pou okipe Bwat Kontra Seyè a.
2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
Bwat Kontra Seyè a te rete yon bon tan lavil Kiriyat-Jearim. Li te pase ventan la. Pandan tout tan sa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap rele nan pye Seyè a pou mande l' sekou.
3 And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return to the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods, and Ashtaroth, from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.
Samyèl pale ak tout pèp la, li di yo konsa: -Si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a ak tout kè nou vre, se pou nou wete tout bondye moun lòt nasyon yo ak tout pòtre metrès Astate yo nan mitan nou. Viv pou Seyè a sèlman, se li menm ase pou nou sèvi. Lè sa a l'a delivre nou anba men moun Filisti yo.
4 Then the children of Israel put away Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo wete tout estati bondye Baal ak metrès Astate yo nan mitan yo. Yo pran sèvi Seyè a sèlman.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to the LORD.
Apre sa, Samyèl di yo: -Sanble tout pèp Izrayèl la lavil Mispa, m'a lapriyè Seyè a la pou nou.
6 And they assembled at Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and there said, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
Se konsa yo tout sanble lavil Mispa. Yo tire dlo, yo vide l' atè tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Jou sa a, yo rete san manje. Epi yo di: -Nou peche kont Seyè a! Samyèl te rete lavil Mispa, se la li te konn regle tout bagay pou pèp Izrayèl la.
7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were assembled at Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines.
Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen pèp Izrayèl la te sanble lavil Mispa, senk chèf moun Filisti yo moute al atake yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tande sa, yo te pè.
8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us from the hand of the Philistines.
Epi yo di Samyèl: -Pa sispann lapriyè Seyè a pou nou, pou l' ka sove nou anba men moun Filisti yo.
9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt-offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
Samyèl pran yon ti mouton dèyè manman, li boule l' nèt, li ofri l' bay Seyè a. Lèfini, Samyèl lapriyè Seyè a pou l' vin ede pèp Izrayèl la. Seyè a reponn lapriyè a.
10 And as Samuel was offering the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
Pandan Samyèl t'ap boule ofrann lan, moun Filisti yo mache sou pèp Izrayèl la vin atake yo. Men lè sa a, Seyè a voye yon kout loraj sou moun Filisti yo. Moun Filisti yo pèdi tèt yo, yo pran kouri met deyò devan pèp Izrayèl la.
11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Beth-car.
Moun Izrayèl yo soti lavil Mispa, yo pran kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo jouk rive toupre lavil Bètka. Sou tout wout la yo bat yo byen bat.
12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
Lè sa a, Samyèl pran yon wòch, li mete l' ant lavil Mispa ak lavil Chenn. Li rele wòch la Ebenezè, paske li t'ap di: Jouk jòdi a se Seyè a ki pote nou sekou.
13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the borders of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Se konsa moun Filisti yo te pèdi batay la nèt. Yo pa janm rekonmanse anvayi teritwa moun Izrayèl yo ankò. Seyè a te kenbe yo anba men l' pandan tout tan Samyèl te vivan.
14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and the borders of it did Israel deliver from the hands of the Philistines: and there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
Tout lavil moun Filisti yo te pran, depi lavil Ekwon jouk lavil Gat, tout te tounen nan men moun Izrayèl yo ankò. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la te mete moun Filisti yo deyò sou tout teritwa ki te pou yo. Epitou pa t' gen lagè menm ant moun Izrayèl yo ak moun Amori yo.
15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
Samyèl gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la jouk li mouri.
16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
Chak lanne li te fè vizit nan tout peyi a, li pase lavil Betèl, lavil Gilgal ak lavil Mispa. Nan tout lavil yo, li te konn regle tout kont moun yo te gen yonn ak lòt.
17 And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to the LORD.
Apre sa, li tounen lakay li lavil Rama kote li te konn regle zafè pou pèp Izrayèl la tou. Li te bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a lavil Rama.
