Judges 20
1 Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out, and the congregation assembled as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.
Tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt, depi lavil Dann nan nò jouk lavil Bècheba nan sid, pase nan peyi Galarad, tout pèp la nèt kanpe. Yo reyini ansanm devan Seyè a, lavil Mispa.
2 The leaders of all the people and all the tribes of Israel presented themselves in the assembly of God’s people: 400,000 men on foot, armed with swords.
Tout chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak tout lòt chèf pèp Izrayèl la te sanble la devan Seyè a. Te gen katsanmil (400.000) sòlda apye antou.
3 (Meanwhile the Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) And the Israelites asked, “Tell us, how did this wicked thing happen?”
Moun Benjamen yo vin konnen rès pèp Izrayèl la te moute lavil Mispa. Moun Izrayèl yo mande: -Manyè di nou ki jan bagay lèd sa a fè rive.
4 So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, answered: “I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.
Moun Levi a, mari fanm yo te sasinen an, reponn: -Mwen te ale lavil Gibeya nan peyi Benjamen an ansanm ak fanm kay mwen pou m' te pase nwit.
5 And during the night, the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house. They intended to kill me, but they abused my concubine, and she died.
Mesye lavil Gibeya yo te soti pou vin pran m' nan mitan lannwit lan, yo sènen kay kote m' te ye a. Yo te vle touye m'. Yo fè kadejak sou fanm kay mwen an, epi li mouri.
6 Then I took my concubine, cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the land of Israel’s inheritance, because they had committed a lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.
Mwen pran kadav la, mwen koupe l' an moso, epi mwen voye moso yo toupatou nan peyi Izrayèl la, paske moun Benjamen yo te fè yon vye bagay derespektan, yon move bagay nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
7 Behold, all you Israelites, give your advice and verdict here and now.”
Nou tout isit la se moun pèp Izrayèl la nou ye. Sa nou di nan sa? Sa nou pral fè?
8 Then all the people stood as one man and said, “Not one of us will return to his tent or to his house.
Tout pèp la kanpe ansanm, epi yo di: -Pesonn nan nou la a pa pral lakay li, kit li rete lavil, kit li rete andeyò.
9 Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will go against it as the lot dictates.
Men sa nou pral fè: nou pral tire osò pou n' chwazi kèk moun pou al regle moun lavil Gibeya yo.
10 We will take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to supply provisions for the army when they go to Gibeah in Benjamin to punish them for the atrocity they have committed in Israel.”
Lèfini n'ap pran yon moun sou dis nan chak branch fanmi yo pou al chache manje pou moun ki pral regle moun lavil Gibeya yo pou vye bagay derespektan yo te fè nan peyi Izrayèl la.
11 So all the men of Israel gathered as one man, united against the city.
Se konsa tout pèp Izrayèl la te mete tèt yo ansanm pou y' al pini moun lavil Gibeya yo.
12 And the tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?
Lòt branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo te voye mesaje nan tout peyi moun Benjamen yo pou di yo: -Ki vye krim sa a nou tande ki fèt konsa lakay nou?
13 Hand over the wicked men of Gibeah so we can put them to death and purge Israel of this evil.” But the Benjamites refused to heed the voice of their fellow Israelites.
Koulye a ban nou moun sa yo, bann vòryen lavil Gibeya yo, pou nou ka touye yo, pou n' ka wete move bagay derespektan sa a nan peyi Izrayèl la. Men, moun Benjamen yo pa koute sa lòt moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap di yo. Yo rete sou sa yo te fè a.
14 And from their cities they came together at Gibeah to go out and fight against the Israelites.
Yo soti toupatou nan tout lavil Benjamen yo, yo sanble lavil Gibeya pou y' al goumen ak rès pèp Izrayèl la.
15 On that day the Benjamites mobilized 26,000 swordsmen from their cities, in addition to the 700 select men of Gibeah.
Jou sa a yo konte, yo jwenn te gen vennsimil (26.000) sòlda antou ki te soti nan tout lavil yo, san konte sètsan (700) sòlda moun lavil Gibeya yo te chwazi.
16 Among all these soldiers there were 700 select left-handers, each of whom could sling a stone at a hair without missing.
Pami tout sòlda sa yo te gen sètsan (700) ladan yo ki te bon anpil nan fè lagè. Yo tout te sèvi ak men gòch yo. Yo tout te ka vize yon cheve ak yon wòch, san yo pa janm manke l' yon fwa.
17 The Israelites, apart from Benjamin, mobilized 400,000 swordsmen, each one an experienced warrior.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm, san konte branch fanmi Benjamen an, te gen katsanmil (400.000) gason ki te konn goumen.
18 The Israelites set out, went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, “Who of us shall go up first to fight against the Benjamites?” “Judah will be first,” the LORD replied.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo leve, y' ale lavil Betèl, y' al mande Seyè a sa pou yo fè. Yo mande l': -Ki branch fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pou al atake moun Benjamen yo anvan? Seyè a di yo: -Se branch fanmi Jida a.
19 The next morning the Israelites set out and camped near Gibeah.
Se konsa, pèp Izrayèl la leve nan denmen maten, y' al pran pozisyon bò lavil Gibeya.
20 And the men of Israel went out to fight against Benjamin and took up their battle positions at Gibeah.
Lèfini, yo pati pou y' al goumen ak moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo. Yo pran pozisyon anfas lavil Gibeya.
21 And the Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day.
Moun Benjamen yo soti lavil Gibeya. Jou sa a yo desann venndemil (22.000) sòlda nan lame pèp Izrayèl la.
22 But the Israelite army took courage and again took their battle positions in the same place where they had arrayed themselves on the first day.
Men, lame pèp Izrayèl la reprann fòs, yo pran pozisyon ankò menm kote yo te ye premye jou a pou y' al goumen.
23 They went up and wept before the LORD until evening, inquiring of Him, “Should we again draw near for battle against our brothers the Benjamites?” And the LORD answered, “Go up against them.”
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm moute Betèl, y' al kriye nan pye Seyè a jouk aswè, epi yo mande Seyè a sa pou yo fè. Yo di l': -Eske se pou n' al goumen ankò kont moun fanmi Benjamen yo, frè nou yo? Seyè a reponn yo: -Wi. Nou mèt ale.
24 On the second day the Israelites advanced against the Benjamites.
Se konsa lame pèp Izrayèl la atake moun Benjamen yo yon dezyèm fwa.
25 That same day the Benjamites came out against them from Gibeah and cut down another 18,000 Israelites, all of them armed with swords.
Men, moun Benjamen yo soti lavil Gibeya vin kontre ak yo. Fwa sa a yo touye dizwitmil (18.000) solda nan lame pèp Izrayèl la.
26 Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, where they sat weeping before the LORD. That day they fasted until evening and presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to the LORD.
Lè sa a, ni lame a ni rès pèp Izrayèl la moute lavil Betèl. Yo chita la devan Seyè a ap kriye. Jou sa a, yo rete san manje jouk aswè. Apre sa, yo boule bèt nan dife pou Seyè a, yo fè ofrann pou mande Seyè a padon.
27 And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there,
Lèfini, yo mande Seyè a ankò sa pou yo fè. Lè sa a, Bwat Kontra Bondye a te lavil Betèl.
28 and Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, served before it.) The Israelites asked, “Should we again go out to battle against our brothers the Benjamites, or should we stop?” The LORD answered, “Fight, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand.”
Se Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza, pitit pitit Arawon an, ki te reskonsab pou fè sèvis devan Bwat Kontra a. Yo di Seyè a: -Eske se pou n' al goumen ankò kont moun Benjamen yo, frè nou yo, osinon èske se pou n' rete sou sa nou fè a? Seyè a reponn yo: -Nou mèt al goumen. Paske denmen m'ap lage yo nan men nou.
29 So Israel set up an ambush around Gibeah.
Moun Izrayèl yo mete kèk sòlda kache toupatou bò lavil Gibeya a.
30 On the third day the Israelites went up against the Benjamites and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as they had done before.
Apre sa, sou twazyèm jou a, yo moute al goumen ak lame moun Benjamen yo. Yo pran pozisyon ankò devan lavil Gibeya a jan yo te fè l' anvan an.
31 The Benjamites came out against them and were drawn away from the city. They began to attack the people as before, killing about thirty men of Israel in the fields and on the roads, one of which led up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.
Moun Benjamen yo soti vin kontre ak lame a. Yo kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè yo. Tankou lòt fwa yo, yo konmanse desann gason nan lame a, yo touye trant sòlda konsa, ni sou wout ki moute lavil Betèl la, ni sou wout ki mennen lavil Gibeya a pa mòn.
32 “We are defeating them as before,” said the Benjamites. But the Israelites said, “Let us retreat and draw them away from the city onto the roads.”
Moun Benjamen yo t'ap di: -Nou bat yo ankò, tankou lòt fwa yo. Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap di: -Ann kouri devan yo sou wout andeyò yo pou yo ka kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè yo.
33 So all the men of Israel got up from their places and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah.
Lè sa a, lame pèp Izrayèl la kouri kite tout kote yo te gaye yo, yo sanble bò Baal-Tama. Men mesye ki te kache yo kouri soti kote yo te ye a, dèyè gwo wòch ki te bò lavil Gibeya a.
34 Then 10,000 select men from all Israel made a frontal assault against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not realize that disaster was upon them.
Dimil (10.000) bon sòlda yo te chwazi nan lame pèp Izrayèl la al kontre ak moun Gibeya yo. Batay la te rèd mare. Men, moun Benjamen yo pa t' ankò konprann batay la tapral vire mal pou yo.
35 The LORD defeated Benjamin in the presence of Israel, and on that day the Israelites slaughtered 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.
Seyè a fè pèp Izrayèl la bat lame moun Benjamen yo byen bat jou sa a. Lame pèp Izrayèl la te desann vennsenkmil san (25.100) sòlda nan moun Benjamen yo.
36 Then the Benjamites realized they had been defeated. Now the men of Israel had retreated before Benjamin because they were relying on the ambush they had set against Gibeah.
Se lè sa a, moun Benjamen yo vin wè yo t'ap pèdi batay la vre. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm t'ap fè bak devan moun Benjamen yo paske yo t'ap konte sou mesye ki te anbiske kò yo bò lavil Gibeya a.
37 The men in ambush rushed suddenly against Gibeah; they advanced and put the whole city to the sword.
Mesye sa yo kouri soti nan kachèt yo, yo desann sou lavil Gibeya a, yo gaye nan tout lavil la, yo touye dènye moun yo jwenn ladan l'.
38 The men of Israel had arranged a signal with the men in ambush: When they sent up a great cloud of smoke from the city,
Moun Izrayèl yo te gen dizon ak mesye ki te kache yo pou yo te bay yon siyal ak lafimen. Lè yo wè gwo nwaj lafimen an ap moute soti nan lavil la,
39 the men of Israel would turn in the battle. When the Benjamites had begun to strike them down, killing about thirty men of Israel, they said, “They are defeated before us as in the first battle.”
moun Izrayèl yo vire fè fas kare ak moun Benjamen yo. Lè sa a, moun Benjamen yo te gen tan touye trant moun konsa nan mitan yo. Yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: -Wi, nou bat yo fwa sa a tankou anvan an.
40 But when the column of smoke began to go up from the city, the Benjamites looked behind them and saw the whole city going up in smoke.
Lamenm siyal la parèt. Nwaj lafimen an konmanse moute soti nan lavil la. Moun Benjamen yo vire gade dèyè, yo sezi wè dife te pete toupatou nan lavil la.
41 Then the men of Israel turned back on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified when they realized that disaster had come upon them.
Moun Izrayèl yo menm te vire tounen sou yo. Lè sa a, laperèz fè moun Benjamen yo pèdi tèt yo, paske yo te vin konprann bagay la tapral pase mal pou yo.
42 So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there.
Yo pran kouri pou moun Izrayèl yo, yo pran wout dezè a pou yo. Men, li te twò ta, yo pa t' ka chape ankò. Yo pran nan mitan de kan, lame moun Izrayèl la yon bò ak sòlda ki t'ap soti lavil la lòt bò. Yo tout mouri.
43 They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.
Moun Izrayèl yo kouri dèyè yo san rete, yo touye yo yonn apre lòt jouk yo rive yon kote anfas Gibeya bò solèy leve.
44 And 18,000 Benjamites fell, all men of valor.
Yo touye dizwitmil (18.000) moun nan pi bon sòlda moun Benjamen yo.
45 Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.
Lòt yo menm kouri ale nan dezè a bò wòch Rimon an. Yo touye senkmil (5.000) ladan yo sou wout yo. Yo kouri dèyè rès la jouk Gideyon. Yo touye demil (2.000) ladan yo.
46 That day 25,000 Benjamite swordsmen fell, all men of valor.
Jou sa a, yo te touye vennsenkmil (25.000) moun antou nan branch fanmi Benjamen an. Epi tout te bon sòlda ki te konn goumen.
47 But 600 men turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed four months.
Men, gen sisan (600) nan moun ki te kouri al nan dezè a, bò Wòch Rimon an, ki rete kache pandan kat mwa.
48 And the men of Israel turned back against the other Benjamites and put to the sword all the cities, including the animals and everything else they found. And they burned down all the cities in their path.
Moun Izrayèl yo menm tounen dèyè lòt moun Benjamen yo. Yo touye depi se gason, bèt ak tout lòt moun ki te nan lavil yo. Yo mete dife nan tout lavil yo jwenn sou wout yo.
