Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which Jehovah left to prove Israel by them, (even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan,
Seyè a te kite kèk nasyon nan peyi a pou l' te ka sonde moun pèp Izrayèl la ki patko fèt lè yo t'ap fè lagè pou antre nan peyi Kanaran an.
2 only that the generations of the sons of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least to such as formerly knew nothing of that):
Li te fè sa konsa pou l' te ka moutre chak jenerasyon pèp Izrayèl la sa yo rele fè lagè, sitou sa ki pa t' janm al nan lagè anvan sa.
3 namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
Men moun li te kite nan peyi a: Se te moun Filisti yo ki te rete nan senk lavil, tout moun Kanaran yo, moun Sidon yo ak moun Evi yo ki te rete nan mòn Liban yo, depi mòn Baal-Emon jouk Pas Amat.
4 And they were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of Jehovah, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
Se ak moun sa yo Seyè a t'ap sonde pèp la pou l' te ka konnen si yo te soti pou koute lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou zansèt yo a.
5 And the sons of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la twouve l' rete ap viv nan mitan moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
Yo pran pitit fi moun sa yo pou madanm, yo bay pitit gason moun sa yo pitit fi pa yo pou madanm, epi yo pran sèvi bondye moun sa yo tou.
7 And the sons of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tanmen fè bagay ki te mal nan je Seyè a. Yo bliye Seyè a, Bondye-yo a, yo pran fè sèvis pou Baal yo ak Achera yo.
8 Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia, And the sons of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.
Seyè a fache sou pèp Izrayèl la epi li kite Kouchan-Riche Atayim, wa peyi Mezopotami an, mete pye sou kou yo. Pandan witan pèp Izrayèl la te anba men Kouchan-Riche Atayim.
9 And when the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a savior to the sons of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran kriye nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a voye yon nonm pou delivre yo. Se te Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz, ki te ti frè Kalèb.
10 And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to war, and Jehovah delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand, and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
Lespri Seyè a te sou li, li vin yon gwo chèf nan peyi Izrayèl. Li leve l' al goumen. Seyè a lage Kouchan-Riche Atayim, wa peyi Mezopotami an, nan men li, li fè l' kraze l'.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Apre sa, te gen lapè nan peyi a pandan karantan. Epi Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz la, mouri.
12 And the sons of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. And Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel because they had done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rekonmanse ap fè sa ki te mal nan je Seyè a ankò. Seyè a pran Eglon, wa peyi Moab la, li fè l' vin pi fò pase pèp Izrayèl la. Epi li fè l' leve dèyè pèp Izrayèl la.
13 And he gathered to him the sons of Ammon and Amalek, and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
Eglon pran moun Amon yo ak moun Amalèk yo ansanm avè l', epi yo ale, yo bat moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Palmis yo pou yo.
14 And the sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Pandan dizwitan pèp Izrayèl la te anba men Eglon, wa peyi Moab la.
15 But when the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, Jehovah raised up for them a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. And the sons of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran kriye nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a voye yon lòt moun pou delivre yo. Se te Eyoud, pitit gason Gera, moun branch fanmi Benjamen an. Msye te goche. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo bay Eyoud yon kado al pote bay Eglon, wa peyi Moab.
16 And Ehud made for himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length. And he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Eyoud fè yo fè yon ponya espesyal pou li. Ponya a te gen yon pye edmi longè, li te file de bò. Li mare l' sou kwis pye dwat li, anba rad li.
17 And he offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
Epi li pote kado a bay Eglon, wa peyi Moab la. Eglon te gwo anpil.
18 And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the men who bore the tribute.
Lè Eyoud fin bay wa a kado a, li voye moun ki te pote kado a ale.
19 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all who stood by him went out from him.
Men li menm, lè li rive bò estati zidòl yo ki toupre lavil Gilgal la, li tounen vin jwenn Eglon. Li di l' konsa: -Monwa, mwen gen yon komisyon pou ou, men fòk pa ta gen lòt moun la. Lè sa a, wa a di moun ki te la yo: -Kite nou pou kont nou! Tout moun ki te la avè l' yo soti.
20 And Ehud came to him. And he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose out of his seat.
Wa a te chita nan chanm pa l' anwo kay la, kote ki te fè fre anpil. Eyoud pwoche bò kote l', li di l' konsa: -Se yon mesaj Bondye ban m' pou ou. Wa a leve kanpe.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
Eyoud lonje men gòch li, li rale ponya a bò kwis pye dwat li, epi li sèvi wa a yon kou nan vant.
22 And the handle also went in after the blade, and the fat closed upon the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his body, and it came out behind.
Li foure ponya a tout longè l' nèt jouk manch li pèdi nan vant li, epi po grès la fèmen sou ponya a paske Eyoud pa t' rale l' soti. Pwent ponya a menm te parèt pa dèyè.
23 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them.
Lèfini, Eyoud soti nan chanm lan, li fèmen pòt yo dèyè l', li klete yo,
24 Now when he was gone out, his servants came, and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper room were locked. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the upper chamber.
epi l' ale fè wout li. Lè domestik wa yo vini, yo wè pòt chanm wa a te fèmen akle. Yo di konsa: -Gen lè wa a okipe anndan an. L'ap fè bezwen li.
25 And they delayed till they were ashamed, and, behold, he did not open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key, and opened, and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
Yo tann yon bon ti moman, yo ba li tan pou l' fini. Men, yo wè li pa janm louvri pòt la. Lè sa a, yo pran kle a epi yo louvri. Yo wè wa a kouche tou long atè, li te mouri!
26 And Ehud escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
Pandan mesye yo t'ap tann tout tan sa a, Eyoud menm gen tan chape kò l'. Li pase bò estati zidòl yo, epi li pran wout mòn Seyira a pou li, l' ale.
27 And it came to pass, when he came, that he blew a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.
Lè li rive Seyira nan mòn peyi Efrayim lan, li kònen pou rele moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo desann soti nan mòn lan, epi Eyoud pran mache alatèt yo.
28 And he said to them, Follow after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow a man to pass over.
Li di yo konsa: -Swiv mwen! Seyè a lage moun Moab yo, lènmi nou yo, nan men nou jòdi a! Yo tout desann swiv li. Yo bare pas dlo kote moun Moab yo konn janbe larivyè Jouden an. Yo pa kite yon moun pase.
29 And they smote about ten thousand men of Moab at that time, every robust man, and every man of valor, and there escaped not a man.
Lè sa a, yo te touye dimil (10.000) sòlda konsa, sòlda ki te gwonèg epi ki te konn goumen. Yonn pa chape.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Jou sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo bat moun Moab yo byen bat. Apre sa, pandan katreventan te gen lapè nan peyi a.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox-goad, and he also saved Israel.
Apre Eyoud, yo vin gen yon lòt chèf: Se te Chanmga, pitit Anat. Li menm menm avèk yon fwèt kach po bèf, li te touye sisan (600) sòlda nan lame moun Filisti yo. Konsa li delivre pèp Izrayèl la.
