< Judges 15 >

1 But it came to pass after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid. And he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber, but her father would not allow him to go in.
Men pita, pandan rekòlt ble a, Samson te vizite madanm li avèk yon jenn kabrit. Li te di: “Mwen va antre vè madanm mwen nan chanm li.” Men papa li pa t kite li antre.
2 And her father said, I truly thought that thou had utterly hated her, therefore I gave her to thy companion. Is not her younger sister fairer than she? Take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
Papa li te di li: “Mwen te konnen ke ou te tèlman rayi li; epi pou sa, mwen te bay li a zanmi ou an. Èske pi jenn sè li a pa pi bèl pase li? Souple, kite li vin pou ou nan plas li.”
3 And Samson said to them, This time I shall be blameless in regard of the Philistines when I do them a mischief.
Samson te di a yo: “Fwa sa a, mwen p ap gen tò anvè Filisten yo lè m fè yo mal.”
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between every two tails.
Samson te ale kenbe twa-san rena. Li te pran tòch yo, e te vire yo mare ke a ke, e li te mete yon tòch nan mitan chak de ke yo.
5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the oliveyards.
Lè l te fin limen tòch yo, li te lage rena yo nan chan sereyal Filisten yo, e te brile pakèt sereyal yo ak ble, ansanm avèk chan rezen avèk lòt chan bwa fwi.
6 Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Konsa, Filisten yo te di: “Kilès ki te fè sa?” Yo te reponn: “Samson, bofi a Timnyen an, akoz li te pran madanm li pou te bay li a konpanyen li.” Pou sa, Filisten yo te monte e te brile ni madanm nan, ni papa li avèk dife.
7 And Samson said to them, If ye do after this manner, surely I will be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
Samson te di yo: “Akoz n ap aji konsa, mwen va vrèman pran vanjans sou nou, men apre sa, m ap sispann.”
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
Li te frape yo byen di avèk yon gwo masak; epi li te desann pou te viv nan krevas wòch la nan Étam.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Alò, Filisten yo te monte fè kan nan Juda e te vin gaye nan Léchi.
10 And the men of Judah said, Why have ye come up against us? And they said, We come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.
Mesye Juda yo te di: “Poukisa nou vin monte kont nou?” Yo te di: “Nou te monte pou mare Samson dekwa ke nou kab fè l menm bagay ke li te fè nou an.”
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Know thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that thou have done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them.
Epi twa-mil lòm Juda te desann vè krevas wòch la nan Étam, e yo te di Samson: “Èske ou pa konnen ke Filisten yo gen tout fòs sou nou? Poukisa, konsa, ou vin fè nou sa?” Epi li te di yo: “Menm jan yo te fè m nan, se konsa mwen te fè yo.”
12 And they said to him, We have come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
Yo te di li: “Nou te vin isit la pou mare ou pou nou kapab livre ou nan men Filisten yo.” Epi Samson te di yo: “Sèmante a mwen ke nou p ap touye mwen.”
13 And they spoke to him, saying, No, but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand, but truly we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
Yo te di li: “Non, men nou va mare ou nèt e livre ou nan men yo; men anverite, nou p ap touye ou.” Yo te mare li avèk de kòd nèf e te mennen li monte soti nan wòch la.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon him, and the ropes that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
Lè li te rive nan Léchi, Filisten yo te rele fò pandan yo t ap rankontre li. Epi Lespri SENYÈ a te vini sou li avèk pouvwa, jiskaske kòd sou bwa li yo te vin tankou pay len ki brile ak dife e kòd yo te tonbe sòti nan men li.
15 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and smote a thousand men with it.
Li te twouve yon zo a machwè bourik fre. Konsa, li te lonje pran l e li te touye mil lòm avèk li.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jawbone of a donkey I have smitten a thousand men.
Alò, Samson te di: “Avèk machwè a yon bourik, pil sou pil; avèk machwè a yon bourik, mwen te touye yon milye moun.”
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand. And that place was called Ramath-lehi.
Lè l te fin pale, li te jete machwè a sòti nan men l; epi plas sa a te rele Ramath-Léchi.
18 And he was very thirsty, and called on Jehovah, and said, Thou have given this great deliverance by the hand of thy servant, and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Alò, li te vin swaf. Li te rele a SENYÈ a e li te di: “Ou te bay delivrans pa men sèvitè Ou e, koulye a, mwen va mouri ak swaf e tonbe nan men a ensikonsi yo?”
19 But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out there. And when he had drunk his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
Men Bondye te fann kote vid ki nan Léchi a, e dlo te sòti ladann. Lè li te bwè, fòs li te retounen e li te reprann fòs. Pou sa, li te rele kote sa a En-Hakkoré, ki nan Léchi jis rive jodi a.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Epi li te jije Israël pandan ventan nan jou a Filisten yo.
