1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on his head and gave him a kiss and said, Is not the Lord with the holy oil making you ruler over Israel, his people? and you will have authority over the people of the Lord, and you will make them safe from the hands of their attackers round about them, and this will be the sign for you:
Samyèl pran yon ti poban lwil oliv, li vide l' sou tèt Sayil. Apre sa, li bo l', epi li di l': -Seyè a ba ou pouvwa pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la ki rele l' pa l'. W'a gouvènen pèp li a, w'a delivre yo anba men tout lènmi ki bò kote l' yo. Men sa k'ap fè ou wè se Seyè a menm ki mete ou apa pou gouvènen pèp ki pou li a.
2 When you have gone away from me today, you will see two men by the resting-place of Rachel's body, in the land of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went in search of have come back, and now your father, caring no longer for the asses, is troubled about you, saying, What am I to do about my son?
Lè w'a kite m' jòdi a, w'a jwenn de mesye toupre tonm Rachèl la lavil Sèlza, nan lizyè peyi moun Benjamen yo. Y'a di ou bourik ou t'ap bouske yo, yo jwenn yo. Men, koulye a papa ou bliye bourik li yo, se pou ou li gen tèt chaje. L'ap mande: Kisa mwen pral fè pou pitit gason m' lan?
3 Then you are to go on from there, and when you come to the oak-tree of Tabor, you will see three men going up to God to Beth-el, one having with him three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:
Lèfini, w'a mache pi devan jouk w'a rive bò pye bwadchenn Tabò a. Lè w'a rive la, w'a kontre ak twa nèg k'ap moute lavil Betèl pou y' al ofri bèt pou touye pou Bondye. Yonn ap mennen twa jenn ti kabrit, dezyèm lan va gen twa pen nan men l', twazyèm lan va gen yon veso fèt an po bèt plen diven.
4 They will say, Peace be with you, and will give you two cakes of bread, which you are to take from them.
Y'a di ou bonjou, y'a ba ou de nan pen yo. W'a pran yo nan men yo.
5 After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed: and when you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them; and they will be acting like prophets:
Apre sa, w'a moute sou ti mòn Bondye yo rele Gibeya a, kote yon lame moun Filisti moute ganizon yo. Lè w'ap antre nan lavil la, w'a kontre ak yon gwoup pwofèt k'ap desann soti bò lotèl ki sou ti mòn lan. Y'ap jwe gita, y'ap bat tanbou, y'ap jwe fif ak bandjo, y'ap danse, y'ap bay mesaj ki sot nan Bondye.
6 And the spirit of the Lord will come on you with power, and you will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into another man.
Lespri Bondye a va desann sou ou, w'a pran danse, w'ap bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye tankou yo. Ou p'ap menm moun lan ankò.
7 And when these signs come to you, see that you take the chance which is offered you; for God is with you.
Lè bagay sa yo va rive, w'a fè tou sa ki vin pou fèt paske se Bondye k'ap avè ou.
8 Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.
Apre sa, w'a pran devan m', w'a desann lavil Gilgal kote m'a vin jwenn ou pita pou m' ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a ansanm ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Lèfini, w'a tann sèt jou anvan m'a vin jwenn ou ankò pou m' di ou sa pou ou fè.
9 And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day.
Vire Sayil vire pou l' kite Samyèl, Bondye fè Sayil tounen yon lòt moun nèt. Jou sa a tout pawòl Samyèl te di l' yo rive vre.
10 And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.
Lè Sayil rive lavil Gibeya ak domestik li a, yon bann pwofèt vin kontre avè l'. Lespri Bondye a desann sou li epi li pran danse, li pran bay mesaj tankou yo.
11 Now when Saul's old friends saw him among the band of prophets, the people said to one another, What has come to Saul, the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?
Tout moun ki te konnen l' anvan sa wè li t'ap danse, li t'ap bay mesaj ansanm ak pwofèt yo. Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Sa ki rive pitit gason Kich la? Sayil gen lè pwofèt tou?
12 And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?
Yon moun lavil Gibeya ki te la mande: -Lòt mesye pwofèt yo, ki moun ki papa yo? Se konsa moun te konmanse ap di: Gen lè menm Sayil pwofèt tou?
13 Then going away from the prophets, he came to the house.
Lè Sayil fin danse, lè li te fin bay mesaj, li moute sou ti mòn lan bò lotèl la.
14 And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.
Tonton Sayil la mande l' ansanm ak domestik li a: -Kote nou te ye konsa? Sayil reponn tonton l' lan: -Mwen t' al chache bourik yo. Lè nou pa jwenn yo, n' al kote Samyèl.
15 Then he said, And what did Samuel say to you?
Tonton Sayil la mande l': -Rakonte m' sa li di ou.
16 And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.
Sayil reponn li: -Li di m' yo jwenn bourik yo deja. Men, li pa di tonton l' sa Samyèl te di l' sou koze wa a.
17 Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;
Samyèl reyini pèp Izrayèl la pou fè yon gwo sèvis pou Bondye lavil Mispa.
18 And he said to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I took Israel out of Egypt, and made you free from the hands of the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms which kept you down:
Li di yo: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la di: Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la. Se mwen menm ki te delivre nou anba men moun Lejip yo, anba men moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap peze nou yo.
19 But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.
Se mwen menm Bondye nou an ki te pwoteje nou nan tout move pa, nan tout kè sere, epi koulye a n'ap voye m' jete, n'ap di m' se yon wa pou m' mete gouvènen nou! Enben, nou tout, vini non devan Seyè a. Sanble tout moun, branch fanmi pa branch fanmi, fanmi pa fanmi. Fè yo parèt devan li.
20 So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Lè sa a, Samyèl fè tout pèp Izrayèl la pwoche branch fanmi pa branch fanmi. Seyè a chwazi branch fanmi Benjamen an.
21 Then he made the tribe of Benjamin come near by families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and from them, Saul, the son of Kish, was taken: but when they went in search of him he was nowhere to be seen.
Apre sa, Samyèl fè tout fanmi branch Benjamen yo pwoche yonn apre lòt. Seyè a chwazi fanmi Matri a. Lè sa a, li fè tout gason nan fanmi Matri a parèt devan Seyè a, Bondye chwazi Sayil, pitit gason Kich la. Yo chache l', men yo pa t' ka jwenn li.
22 So they put another question to the Lord, Is the man present here? And the answer of the Lord was, He is keeping himself from view among the goods.
Y' al mande Seyè a si pa gen lòt moun ankò. Seyè a reponn: -Men Sayil kache dèyè pwovizyon yo!
23 So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.
Se konsa yo kouri al wete l' la, yo mennen l', yo fè l' kanpe nan mitan pèp la. Li te pi wo pase yo tout.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see the man of the Lord's selection, how there is no other like him among all the people? And all the people with loud cries said, Long life to the king!
Samyèl di pèp la: -Men moun Seyè a chwazi a. Pa gen tankou l' nan mitan pèp la. Tout pèp la pran rele: -Viv wa Sayil!
25 Then Samuel gave the people the laws of the kingdom, writing them in a book which he put in a safe place before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Apre sa, Samyèl esplike pèp la ki jan pou wa a boule ak yo. Lèfini, li ekri tou sa li te di yo nan yon liv li mete devan lotèl Seyè a. Apre sa, Samyèl voye tout moun lakay yo.
26 And Saul went to Gibeah, to his house; and with him went the men of war whose hearts had been touched by God.
Sayil tou al lakay li lavil Gibeya. Bondye te pale nan kè kèk vanyan gason. Yo menm tou, y' ale ansanm ak Sayil.
27 But certain good-for-nothing persons said, How is this man to be our saviour? And having no respect for him, they gave him no offering.
Men te gen kèk vòryen ki t'ap di: -Ki jan jenn gason sa a ka rive delivre nou? Yo pa okipe Sayil menm, yo pa fè l' kado anyen. Sayil menm fè tankou li pa konprann.
