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,
Alò, sila yo se nasyon ke SENYÈ a te kite pou sèvi kòm eprèv pou Israëlit yo ki potko konn fè lagè avèk Kananeyen yo.
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):
Konsa li ta rive ke jenerasyon a fis Israël ki pa t kon fè lagè, ta kapab enstwi.
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.
Nasyon sa yo se: senk prens nan nasyon Filisten yo, tout Kananeyen yo, Sidonyen yo ak Evyen ki te rete nan Mòn Liban yo, soti nan Mòn Baal-Hermon, jis rive nan Lebo-Hamath.
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.
Yo te pou pase a leprèv Israël, pou dekouvri si yo ta obeyi kòmand ke SENYÈ a te kòmande zansèt yo pa Moïse.
5 And the sons of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Fis Israël yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, Etyen ak Jebizyen yo, Amoreyen yo, Ferezyen yo ak Evyen yo.
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.
Yo te pran fi pa yo pou yo menm kòm madanm, yo te bay pwòp fi yo a fis pa yo, e yo te sèvi dye pa yo.
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.
Fis Israël yo te fè sa ki te mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, e yo te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a pou te sèvi Baal avèk Aseroth 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.
Alò, lakòlè SENYÈ a te limen kont Israël jiskaske Li te vann yo nan men a Cuschan-Rischeathaïm, wa Mésopotamie a. Konsa, fis Israël yo te sèvi Cuschan-Rischeathaïm pandan uit ane.
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.
Lè fis Israël yo te vin kriye fò a SENYÈ a, SENYÈ a te fè leve yon liberatè pou delivre yo, Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, ti frè a Caleb la.
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 SENYÈ a te vini sou li pou li te jije Israël lè li te sòti pou fè lagè. SENYÈ a te livre Cuschan-Rischeathaïm, wa Mésopotamie an, nan men l, e li te vin genyen sou Cuschan-Rischeathaïm.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Alò, peyi a te vin gen repo pandan karant ane, men Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, te vin 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.
Alò, fis Israël yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a ankò. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te ranfòse Églon, wa Moab la, kont Israël, akoz yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
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.
Li te ranmase a li menm fis a Ammon yo, avèk Amalek. Konsa, li te ale bat Israël pou yo te posede vil pye palmis yo.
14 And the sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Fis Israël yo te sèvi Églon, wa Moab la, pandan dizuit ane.
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.
Men lè fis Israël yo te vin kriye fò bay SENYÈ a, SENYÈ a te fè leve yon liberatè pou yo, Éhud, fis a Guéra a, Benjamit lan, yon nonm goche. Konsa, pa li menm, fis a Israël yo te voye kòb angajman yo bay Églon, wa Moab la.
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.
Éhud te fè pou kont li yon nepe avèk lam file de bò, yon koude nan longè e li te mare li nan kwis dwat li, anba manto li.
17 And he offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.
Li te prezante kòb angajman an bay Églon, wa Moab la. Alò, Églon te yon mesye byen gra.
18 And when he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the men who bore the tribute.
Li te vin rive ke lè li te fin prezante kòb la, li te fè moun pa l yo ki te pote don an sòti.
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 te vire sòti kote zidòl ki te Guilgal yo, e te di: “Mwen gen yon mesaj sekrè pou ba ou, O Wa.” Epi li menm wa a te di: “Rete an silans.” Epi tout sila ki te sèvi li yo te pati.
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.
Éhud te vin vè li pandan li te chita sèl nan chanm twati fre li a. Epi Éhud te di li: “Mwen gen yon mesaj ki sòti nan Bondye pou ou.” Li te leve sou chèz li a.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.
Konsa, Éhud te lonje men goch li, te pran nepe a soti nan kwis dwat li e te pase l nèt travèse vant li.
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.
Manch lan osi te antre anndan l apre lam nan e grès te vin kouvri sou lam nan; paske li pa t retire nepe a sòti nan vant li e salte vant lan te vin sòti ladann.
23 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room upon him, and locked them.
Alò, Éhud te sòti sou galeri gran chanm nan, te fèmen pòt a chanm twati dèyè li yo, e li te kadnase 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.
Lè l te fin sòti, sèvitè li yo te vin gade; epi vwala, pòt a chanm twati yo te kadnase. Konsa yo te di: “L ap sèlman okipe bezwen li nan chanm fre a.”
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 te tann jiskaske yo te vin twouble, men gade byen, li pa t vin ouvri pòt a chanm twati la. Pou sa, yo te pran kle a pou te louvri yo, epi gade byen, mèt yo a te tonbe atè a mouri nèt.
26 And Ehud escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirah.
Alò, Éhud te chape pandan yo te mize a. Li te pase kote zidòl yo e te chape rive Seïra.
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.
Li te vin rive ke lè li te parèt, li te soufle twonpèt peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo. Konsa, fis Israël yo te vin desann avè l soti nan peyi ti kolin yo, e li menm te ale devan 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 te di yo: “Kouri dèyè yo, paske SENYÈ a gen tan livre lènmi nou yo, Moabit yo, nan men nou.” Epi yo te desann dèyè yo pou te sezi yo kote Jourdain ki anfas Moab la, e yo pa t kite pèsòn janbe.
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.
Yo te frape fè tonbe nan tan sa a anviwon di-mil Moabit. Yo tout te gason vanyan e fò. Nanpwen ki te chape.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.
Konsa, Moab te soumèt nan jou sa a anba men Israël. Epi peyi a pa t gen boulvèsman ankò pandan katre-ven ane.
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 li te vin Schamgar, fis a Anath la, ki te frape fè tonbe sis-san Filisten avèk yon baton ki pou pouse bèf kabwa. Li menm tou te libere Israël.
