Judges 7
1 And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
Jewoubaal, ki vle di Jedeyon, leve granmaten ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo, y' al moute kan yo bò Sous Awòd la. Moun Madyan yo menm te moute kan pa yo nan tout plenn lan, nan pye mòn More, sou bò nò kan Jedeyon an.
2 And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with you [are] many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.
Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Ou gen twòp moun avè ou pou m' kite ou kraze moun Madyan yo! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va mete nan tèt yo se yo menm ak pwòp fòs kouraj yo ki delivre peyi yo a, yo p'ap vle kwè se mwen menm ki fè sa pou yo.
3 And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.
Koulye a, pale ak tout pèp la. Di yo konsa: Si gen moun ki pè, k'ap tranble, yo mèt al fè wout yo lakay yo, kite nou sou mòn Gilboa a. Se konsa venndemil (22.000) moun al lakay yo. Te rete dimil (10.000).
4 And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for you: and it shall come to pass that of whoever I shall say to you, This one shall go with you, [even] he shall go with you; and of whoever I shall say to you, This one shall not go with you, [even] he shall not go with you.
Seyè a di Jedeyon ankò: -Gen twòp moun toujou. Fè yo tout desann bò larivyè a. M'a separe yo la pou ou. Moun m'a di ou ki pou ale avè ou yo va ale. Moun m'a di ou ki pa pou ale avè ou yo va rete.
5 And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, you shall set him apart, and [also] whoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
Jedeyon fè tout mesye yo desann bò larivyè a. Epi Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Tout moun w'a wè k'ap lape dlo tankou chen, w'a mete yo yon bò, tout moun w'a wè ki va kwoupi pou bwè dlo, w'a mete yo yon lòt bò.
6 And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
Te gen twasan (300) gason ki te pran dlo nan pla men yo epi ki t'ap lape dlo a. Tout rès yo te kwoupi pou bwè dlo.
7 And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into your hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place.
Seyè a di Jedeyon! -Se avèk twasan nèg sa yo ou wè ki te lape dlo a mwen pral delivre nou. Mwen pral lage moun Madyan yo nan men ou. Kite tout lòt yo ale lakay yo.
8 And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
Yo pran tout pwovizyon lòt moun yo te genyen ansanm ak twonpèt yo, yo kenbe yo pou yo. Lèfini, Jedeyon voye tout rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale lakay yo. Li fè twasan (300) moun yo rete ak li sou mòn lan. Moun Madyan yo menm te anba nan plenn lan.
9 And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
Jou lannwit sa a, Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Leve non! Desann al atake kan moun Madyan yo. Mwen lage yo nan men ou.
10 And if you are afraid to go down, go down you and your servant Phara into the camp.
Men si ou pè atake, desann bò kan moun Madyan yo ansanm ak Poura, domestik ou a.
11 And you shall hear what they shall say, and afterwards your hands shall be strong, and you shall go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp.
W'a tande sa y'ap di. Lè sa a, w'a pran kouraj epi w'a desann al atake yo. Se konsa Jedeyon desann ansanm ak Poura, domestik li a, li rive toupre avanpòs kan an.
12 And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.
Moun Madyan yo, moun Amalèk yo ak moun k'ap viv nan dezè bò solèy leve yo te kouvri tout plenn lan, tankou desen krikèt vèt nan jaden. Chamo yo te genyen, moun pa t' ka konte sa, menm jan yo pa ka konte grenn sab bò lanmè.
13 And Gedeon came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbour a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamt a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and struck it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.
Lè Jedeyon rive, li jwenn yon nonm ki t'ap rakonte yon zanmi l' yon rèv li te fè. Li t'ap di l' konsa: -Monchè, mwen fè yon rèv: Mwen wè yon pen won fèt ak farin lòj ki t'ap woule nan mitan kan an. Epi li rive, l' al frape sou tant lan. Tant lan chavire, li tonbe plat atè.
14 And his neighbour answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
Zanmi an reponn li: -Boul pen won an, se nepe Jedeyon, pitit Joas la, nonm pèp Izrayèl la. Sa pa vle di lòt bagay! Bondye lage moun Madyan yo ak tout lame a nan men l'.
15 And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
Lè Jedeyon tande rèv la ak esplikasyon yo ba li a, li lage kò l' atè devan Bondye. Apre sa, li leve, li tounen nan kan moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li di yo: -Ann ale! Seyè a lage kan moun Madyan yo nan men nou.
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
Li pran twasan mesye yo, li fè twa gwoup. Li bay chak moun yon twonpèt ak yon krich vid. Lèfini, li ba yo chak yon bwa chandèl pou mete nan krich la.
17 and he said to them, You shall look at me, and so shall you do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall you do.
Epi li di yo: -Se pou tout moun gade sou mwen pou wè sa m'ap fè. Lè n'a rive toupre kan an, tou sa n'a wè m' fè, n'a fè l' tou.
18 And I will sound with the horn, and all you with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and you shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
N'a fè wonn kan an. Lè m'a kònen twonpèt ansanm ak tout moun ki avè m' yo, nou menm tou n'a kònen twonpèt. Epi n'a rele: Annavan pou Seyè a ak pou Jedeyon!
19 And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
Lè Jedeyon rive toupre kan an ansanm ak san moun ki te avè l' yo, li te prèt pou menwit. Yo te fenk chanje faksyonnè. Yo pran kònen twonpèt yo epi yo kraze krich yo te gen nan men yo.
20 and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
Tou twa gwoup moun yo pran kònen twonpèt ansanm epi yo kraze krich yo. Yo kenbe bwa chandèl yo nan men gòch yo, twonpèt yo nan men dwat yo pou yo ka kònen yo, epi yo rele: -Ann al goumen pou Seyè a ak pou Jedeyon!
21 And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled.
Yo te kanpe fè wonn kan an, chak moun nan plas yo. Lè sa a tout moun nan kan an pran kouri met deyò, yo t'ap rele byen fò.
22 And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbour.
Antan twasan moun Jedeyon yo t'ap kònen twonpèt yo, Seyè a menm t'ap fè moun Madyan yo yonn ap goumen ak lòt. Sa ki chape yo pran kouri nan direksyon Bèt-Chita bò Serera rive jouk bò lavil Abèl Meola, toupre Tabat.
23 And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
Lè sa a yo rele tout gason nan branch fanmi Neftali a, nan branch fanmi Asè a ak nan tout branch fanmi Manase a, epi yo pran kouri dèyè moun Madyan yo.
24 And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand to Baethera and Jordan.
Jedeyon menm voye mesaje nan tout mòn Efrayim yo pou di mesye yo: -Desann, vin goumen ak moun Madyan yo. Al bare yo bò dlo a sou tout longè larivyè Jouden an jouk Bèt-Bara pou anpeche yo pase. Tout moun Efrayim yo reyini vre. Epi y' al bare wout la sou bò dlo a sou tout longè larivyè Jouden an jouk Bèt-Bara.
25 And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they killed Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they killed Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
Yo mete men sou Orèb ak Zeyèb, de nan chèf moun Madyan yo. Yo touye Orèb sou Wòch Orèb la, Zeyèb nan basen rezen Zeyèb la. Apre sa, yo kouri toujou dèyè moun Madyan yo. Lèfini, yo pote tèt Orèb ak tèt Zeyèb bay Jedeyon ki te sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden an.
