1 Samyèl 13
1 Sayil te majè lè yo te fè l' wa. Li pase kèk tan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
A son of a year [is] Saul in his reigning, yea, two years he hath reigned over Israel,
2 Sayil chwazi twamil (3000) gason nan pèp Izrayèl la, epi li voye tout rès yo al lakay yo. Li pran demil gason, li fè yo rete avè l' lavil Mikmas ak nan mòn Betèl la. Lòt mil yo te avèk Jonatan, pitit gason Sayil la, lavil Gibeya nan peyi moun Benjamen yo.
and Saul chooseth for himself three thousand [men] out of Israel; and two thousand are with Saul in Michmash, and in the hill-country of Beth-El; and a thousand have been with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the remnant of the people he hath sent each to his tents.
3 Jonatan touye chèf moun Filisti yo ki te rete lavil Gibeya a. Moun Filisti yo vin konn sa. Sayil voye moun kònen twonpèt nan tout peyi a pou avèti pèp ebre a.
And Jonathan smiteth the garrison of the Philistines which [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul hath blown with a trumpet through all the land, saying, 'Let the Hebrews hear.'
4 Nouvèl la gaye nan tout pèp Izrayèl la: Sayil te touye chèf moun Filisti yo. Koulye a moun Filisti yo pa vle wè pèp Izrayèl la. Se konsa tout pèp la vin jwenn Sayil lavil Gilgal, yo kanpe avè l'.
And all Israel have heard, saying, 'Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines,' and also, 'Israel hath been abhorred by the Philistines;' and the people are called after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Moun Filisti yo menm, bò pa yo tou, sanble pou y' al atake pèp Izrayèl la. Yo te gen trantmil (30.000) cha lagè, simil (6000) kavalye. Pou sòlda apye menm, moun pa t' ka konte sa. Ou ta di grenn sab bò lanmè. Yo moute al pran pozisyon bò lavil Mikmas, sou bò solèy leve lavil Bètavenn.
And the Philistines have been gathered to fight with Israel; thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a people as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude; and they come up and encamp in Michmash, east of Beth-Aven.
6 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè zafè a pa t' bon pou yo menm. Moun Filisti yo te atake moun pèp Izrayèl yo ak fòs. Pèp Izrayèl la vin pèdi espwa. Sa pa t' bon menm pou yo. Gen ladan yo ki al kache nan gwòt, nan twou wòch, dèyè gwo wòch, nan pi, nan twou anba tè.
And the men of Israel have seen that they are distressed, that the people hath been oppressed, and the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
7 Genyen ki menm janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, al nan peyi moun Gad yo ak moun Galarad yo. Sayil menm te lavil Gilgal toujou. Tout moun ki te avè l' yo t'ap tranble sitèlman yo te pè.
And Hebrews have passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; and Saul [is] yet in Gilgal, and all the people have trembled after him.
8 Dapre dat Samyèl te fikse ba li a, li rete la sèt jou ap tann Samyèl. Sèt jou yo pase, Samyèl pa vin lavil Gilgal. Pèp la konmanse vire do yo kite Sayil.
And he waiteth seven days, according to the appointment with Samuel, and Samuel hath not come to Gilgal, and the people are scattered from off him.
9 Lè Sayil wè sa, li di yo: -Mennen bèt pou boule nan dife yo ban mwen ansanm ak lòt ofrann pou mande Bondye padon yo. Epi li fè ofrann pou boule nan dife a.
And Saul saith, 'Bring nigh unto me the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings;' and he causeth the burnt-offering to ascend.
10 Li t'ap fini fè sèvis ofrann pou boule nan dife a lè Samyèl parèt. Sayil al kontre l' pou di l' bonjou.
And it cometh to pass at his completing to cause the burnt-offering to ascend, that lo, Samuel hath come, and Saul goeth out to meet him, to bless him;
11 Samyèl di li: -Kisa ou fè konsa? Sayil reponn li: -Mwen wè pèp la t'ap pati kite m'. Ou menm, ou pa t' vini lè ou te di ou t'ap vini an. Lèfini, moun Filisti yo t'ap sanble bò lavil Mikmas la.
and Samuel saith, 'What hast thou done?' And Saul saith, 'Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and thou hadst not come at the appointment of the days, and the Philistines are gathered to Michmash,
12 Mwen di nan kè m': Men moun Filisti yo pral vin atake m' isit la lavil Gilgal, epi mwen pa fè anyen pou mete Seyè a bò kote m'. Se konsa mwen pran sou kont mwen pou m' fè ofrann bèt pou boule nan dife pou Seyè a.
and I say, Now do the Philistines come down unto me to Gilgal, and the face of Jehovah I have not appeased; and I force myself, and cause the burnt-offering to ascend.'
13 Samyèl di Sayil konsa: -Se bagay moun fou ou fè la a! Ou pa swiv lòd Seyè a, Bondye ou la, te ba ou. Si ou te swiv lòd li, li ta kite ou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la, lèfini pitit ou yo ta ranplase ou jouk sa kaba.
And Samuel saith unto Saul, 'Thou hast been foolish; thou hast not kept the command of Jehovah thy God, which He commanded thee, for now had Jehovah established thy kingdom over Israel unto the age;
14 Men koulye a, rèy ou pa la pou lontan. Seyè a pral chache yon lòt moun ki va fè tou sa l'a vle l' fè, l'a mete l' chèf sou pèp li a, tou sa paske ou pa t' swiv lòd Seyè a te ba ou a.
and, now, thy kingdom doth not stand, Jehovah hath sought for Himself a man according to His own heart, and Jehovah chargeth him for leader over His people, for thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.'
15 Epi Samyèl leve, li kite lavil Gilgal l' al fè wout li. Tout rès pèp la pran swiv Sayil ki leve al jwenn sòlda li yo. Yo pati kite Gilgal, y' ale lavil Gibeya nan peyi moun Benjamen yo. Sayil fè enspeksyon lame ki te avè l' la. Te gen sisan (600) sòlda konsa.
And Samuel riseth, and goeth up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin; and Saul inspecteth the people who are found with him, about six hundred men,
16 Sayil rete nan peyi moun Benjamen yo ansanm ak Jonatan, pitit gason l' lan, ak moun ki te avè l' yo. Moun Filisti yo menm pran pozisyon lavil Mikmas.
and Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who are found with them, are abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the Philistines have encamped in Michmash.
17 Sòlda Filisti yo soti kote yo te ye a pou y' al kraze brize. Yo fè twa gwoup. Yon gwoup pran chemen ki mennen lavil Ofra nan peyi Chwal la.
And the destroyer goeth out from the camp of the Philistines — three detachments; the one detachment turneth unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
18 Yon lòt gwoup pran chemen ki mennen lavil Bètowon, ak yon lòt gwoup pran chemen ki mennen sou fwontyè a, kote moun ka donminen tout fon Zeboyim lan ale nan dezè a.
and the one detachment turneth the way of Beth-Horon, and the one detachment turneth the way of the border which is looking on the valley of the Zeboim, toward the wilderness.
19 Lè sa a, nan tan sa a, nan tout peyi Izrayèl la yo pa t' ka jwenn fòjon paske moun Filisti yo te soti pou pa kite ebre yo fè ni nepe ni lans fè.
And an artificer is not found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, 'Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear;'
20 Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te blije al lakay moun Filisti yo pou fè dan chari yo, wou yo, rach yo ak kouto digo yo.
and all Israel go down to the Philistines, to sharpen each his ploughshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
21 Moun Filisti yo te mande yo yon ti pyès ajan pou file chak dan rach epi pou fè pwent frenn yo, de ti pyès ajan pou fè dan chari yo ak pwent wou yo.
and there hath been the file for mattocks, and for coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to set up the goads.
22 Se sa ki fè, lè jou batay la rive, pa t' gen yonn nan mesye ki te avèk Sayil ak Jonatan yo ki te gen yon nepe osinon yon lans fè. Sèl Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit gason l' lan, te gen yonn pou yo chak.
And it hath been, in the day of battle, that there hath not been found sword and spear in the hand of any of the people who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan — and there is found to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
23 Moun Filisti yo voye yon ganizon al defann pas Mikmas la.
And the station of the Philistines goeth out unto the passage of Michmash.
