1 Samuel 14
1 And it happened that, on a certain day, Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the youth who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is across from that place.” But he did not reveal this to his father.
Alò jou a te rive ke Jonathan, fis a Saül la, te di a jennonm ki t ap pote zam li yo: “Vini, annou travèse vè anplasman post militè Filisten ki sou kote lòtbò a.” Men li pa t pale sa a papa l.
2 Moreover, Saul was staying in the furthermost part of Gibeah, below the pomegranate tree that was at Migron. And the people with him were about six hundred men.
Saül te rete nan zòn andeyò Guibea anba pye grenad la nan Migron. Epi moun ki te avèk li yo te anviwon sis-san mesye.
3 And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, who had been born of Eli, the priest of the Lord at Shiloh, wore the ephod. But the people did not know where Jonathan had gone.
Achija, fis a Achithub la, frè I-Kabod, fis a Phinées a, fis a Éli, sakrifikatè SENYÈ a nan Silo, te abiye avèk yon efòd. Epi pèp la pa t konnen ke Jonathan te ale.
4 Now there were, between the ascents along which Jonathan strove to cross to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks projecting from both sides, and, in the manner of teeth, boulders breaking out from one side and the other. The name of one was Shining, and the name of the other was Thorny.
Antre pasaj kote Jonathan te chache travèse pou rive nan anplasman post militè Filisten yo, te gen yon kote dan wòch byen file sou yon bò ak yon dan wòch byen file sou lòtbò a. Youn te rele Botsets e lòt la te rele Séné.
5 One boulder projected toward the north, opposite Michmash, and the other toward the south, opposite Gibeah.
Youn nan dan wòch yo te leve nan kote nò anfas Micmasch e lòt la nan sid anfas Guéba.
6 Then Jonathan said to the youth who bore his armor: “Come, let us go across to the garrison of these uncircumcised. And perhaps the Lord may act on our behalf. For it is not difficult for the Lord to save, either by many, or by few.”
Alò Jonathan te di a jennonm ki t ap pote zam li yo: “Vini pou nou travèse lòtbò vè anplasman militè a ensikonsi sila yo. Petèt, SENYÈ a va aji pou nou. Paske SENYÈ a pa anpeche delivre, menm si se anpil, menm si se kèk grenn.”
7 And his armor bearer said to him: “Do all that is pleasing to your soul. Go wherever you wish, and I will be with you, wherever you will choose.”
Sila ki pote zam li yo te di: “Fè tout sa ki nan kè ou; vire ou menm e mwen la avèk ou selon volonte ou.”
8 And Jonathan said: “Behold, we will cross over to these men. And when we will be seen by them,
Jonathan te di: “Gade byen, nou va travèse lòtbò vè mesye yo pou vin parèt a yo menm.
9 if they have spoken to us in this way, ‘Stay until we come to you,’ let us stand still in our place, and not ascend to them.
Si yo di nou: ‘Tann jiskaske nou rive bò kote nou’, alò, nou va kanpe nan plas nou e pa monte kote yo.
10 But if they will say, ‘Ascend to us,’ let us ascend. For the Lord has delivered them into our hands. This will be the sign to us.”
Men si yo di: ‘Vin monte kote nou’, alò nou va monte. Paske SENYÈ a te mete yo nan men nou; epi sa va sinyal pou nou.”
11 And so, both of them appeared before the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, “See, the Hebrews have come out from the holes in which they had been hiding.”
Lè yo toude te parèt nan anplasman militè Filisten yo, Filisten yo te di: “Gade byen, Ebre yo vin sòti nan tou a kote yo te kache kò yo.”
12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan and to his armor bearer, and they said, “Ascend to us, and we will show you something.” And Jonathan said to his armor bearer: “Let us ascend. Follow me. For the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.”
Epi mesye nan anplasman yo te rele Jonathan avèk gason ki pote zam li yo. Yo te di: “Monte kote nou pou nou di ou yon bagay.” Epi Jonathan te di a gason zam li yo: “Vin monte dèyè m, paskeSENYÈ a fin mete yo nan men Israël.”
13 Then Jonathan ascended, crawling on his hands and feet, and his armor bearer after him. And then, some fell before Jonathan, others his armor bearer killed as he was following him.
Alò, Jonathan te rale monte ak men l ak pye li, avèk gason zam yo dèyè li. Konsa, yo te tonbe devan Jonathan e gason zam yo te touye kèk apre li.
14 And the first slaughter was made when Jonathan and his armor bearer struck down about twenty of the men, in the midst of an area of land that a yoke of oxen would usually plow in a day.
Premye masak sa ke Jonathan avèk gason zam yo te fè te anviwon ven òm soti nan mwatye distans ke yon cha ta fè lè l ap raboure fè yon pase nan yon tyè kawo tè.
15 And a miracle occurred in the camp, out in the fields. And all of the people of their garrison, who had gone out in order to plunder, were stupefied. And the earth trembled. And it happened as a miracle from God.
Epi nan kan an yo t ap tranble, anplis nan chan an, e pami tout pèp la. Menm gason anplasman militè yo te tranble. Ekip ravajè yo te tranble e latè te vin tranble jiskaske li te tranble anpil.
16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were at Gibeah of Benjamin, looked out, and behold, a multitude was thrown down and dispersed, this way and that.
Gad Saül yo nan Guibea nan Benjamin te wè ke gran kantite fòs sòlda yo te kòmsi yo t ap fonn; epi yo te gaye pasi pala.
17 And Saul said to the people who were with him, “Inquire and see who has gone out from us.” And when they had inquired, it was found that Jonathan and his armor bearer were not present.
Saül te di a moun ki te avèk li yo: “Kontwole soti koulye a pou wè kilès ki kite nou.” Epi lè yo fin fè kontwòl, gade byen, Jonathan avèk gason potè zam li yo pa t la.
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of the God.” (For the ark of God was, in that day, with the sons of Israel in that place.)
Alò, Saül te di a Achija: “Mennen lach Bondye a isit la.” Paske lach Bondye a te nan tan sa a avèk fis Israël yo.
19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great tumult in the camp of the Philistines. And it was increasing, little by little, and it was being heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
Pandan Saül te pale avèk prèt la, zen nan kan Filisten yo te kontinye e te vin ogmante. Donk, Saül te di prèt la: “Retire men w!”
20 Then Saul, and all the people who were with him, cried out together, and they went to the place of the conflict. And behold, each one’s sword had been turned against his neighbor, and there was a very great slaughter.
Epi Saül avèk tout pèp ki te avèk li a te rasanble pou te rive kote batay la. Epi vwala, zam a chak moun te vire kont moun parèy pa yo. Te vin gen yon trè gran konfizyon.
21 Moreover, the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and who had ascended with them into the camp, turned back so that they might be with those of Israel who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Alò, Ebre ki te avèk Filisten avan yo, ki te monte avèk yo toupatou nan kan an, menm yo menm te vire pou alinye avèk Izrayelit ki te avèk Saül ak Jonathan yo.
22 Likewise, all the Israelites who had hidden themselves on mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had fled, joined themselves with their own in the battle. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.
Lè tout mesye Israël yo ki te kache kò yo nan peyi ti mòn Ephraïm yo te tande ke Filisten yo te sove ale, menm yo menm anplis, te kouri dèyè yo toupre nan batay la.
23 And the Lord saved Israel on that day. But the fight continued as far as Bethaven.
Konsa SENYÈ a te delivre Israël nan jou sa a e batay la te gaye pi lwen Beth-Aven.
24 And the men of Israel were joined together on that day. And Saul made the people swear, saying, “Cursed be the man who will eat bread, until evening, until I am avenged of my enemies.” And the entire people did not consume bread.
Alò mesye Israël yo te byen peze nan jou sa a, paske Saül te mete pèp la anba yon sèman, e te di: “Modi se mesye ki manje manje avan nwit lan, jiskaske mwen fè vanjans sou lènmi mwen yo.” Konsa, pa t gen nan pèp la ki te goute manje.
25 And all the common people went into a forest, in which there was honey on the surface of the field.
Tout pèp peyi a te antre nan forè a e te gen siwo myèl atè a.
26 And so the people entered the forest, and there appeared flowing honey, but no one drew his hand near his mouth. For the people were afraid of the oath.
Lè pèp la te antre forè a, men vwala, te gen yon flèv siwo myèl. Men pèsòn pa t rale men l rive nan bouch li, paske pèp la te pè sèman an.
27 But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people to an oath. And so he extended the top of the staff that he was holding in his hand, and he dipped it in a honeycomb. And he turned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were brightened.
Men Jonathan pa t ankò tande lè papa l te mete pèp la anba sèman an. Pou sa, li te lonje baton ki te nan men l lan, li te fonse li nan gato myèl la, li te mete men l nan bouch li e zye li te vin limen.
28 And in response, one of the people said, “Your father has bound the people by an oath, saying: ‘Cursed be the man who will eat any bread this day.’” (For the people were faint.)
Epi youn nan moun yo te di: “Papa ou te mete pèp la anba sèman avèk severite e li te di: ‘Modi se mesye ki manje manje jodi a.’” Epi pèp la te bouke.
29 And Jonathan said: “My father has troubled the land. You have seen for yourselves that my eyes were brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
Alò, Jonathan te di: “Papa m te twouble peyi a! Gade, koulye a kijan zye m vin limen akoz mwen te goute yon ti kras nan siwo sa a.
30 How much more so, if the people had eaten from the plunder that they find with their enemies? Would not a greater slaughter have been accomplished among the Philistines?”
Konbyen anplis, si sèlman pèp la te manje avèk libète jodi a nan piyaj lènmi ke yo te twouve a! Paske koulye a masak pami Filisten yo pa gwo.”
31 Therefore, on that day, they struck down the Philistines, from Michmash as far as Aijalon. But the people were exceedingly wearied.
Yo te frape pami Filisten yo nan jou sa a soti Micmasch pou jis rive Ajalon. Epi pèp la te vin byen bouke.
32 And turning to the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and they slew them on the ground. And the people ate with blood.
Pèp la te kouri avèk gwo anvi sou piyaj la. Yo te pran mouton yo avèk gwo bèf ak ti bèf yo, yo te touye yo atè a, e yo te manje yo avèk san an.
33 Then they reported to Saul, saying that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with blood. And he said: “You have transgressed. Roll a great stone to me, here and now.”
Alò, yo te pale Saül e te di: “Gade byen, pèp la ap peche kont SENYÈ a pandan yo manje avèk san an.” Epi li te di: “Nou te aji kòm trèt; woule yon gwo wòch kote mwen jodi a.”
34 And Saul said: “Disperse yourselves among the common people, and tell each one of them to bring to me his ox and his ram, and to slay them upon this stone, and to eat, so that you will not sin against the Lord, in eating with blood.” And so, each one, out of all the people, brought his ox, by his own hand, throughout the night. And they slew them there.
Saül te di: “Gaye nou menm pami pèp la e di yo: ‘Nou chak mennen bèf nou ban mwen, oswa mouton nou e touye li isit la pou manje. Pa fè peche kont SENYÈ a avèk afè manje san an.’” Konsa, tout pèp la nan nwit lan, yo chak te mennen bèf yo e te kòche li la.
35 Then Saul built an altar to the Lord. And so, it was then that he first began to build an altar to the Lord.
Epi Saül tebati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a; se te premye lotèl ke li te bati a SENYÈ a.
36 And Saul said: “Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and lay waste to them even until the morning light. And let us not leave behind a man among them.” And the people said, “Do all that seems good in your eyes.” And the priest said, “Let us draw near to God in this place.”
Epi Saül te di: “Annou desann dèyè Filisten yo lannwit lan, pran piyaj pami yo jis li fè klè nan maten e annou pa kite youn nan mesye yo vivan.” Epi yo te di: “Fè nenpòt sa ki sanble bon pou ou menm.” Konsa, prèt la te di: “Annou apwoche de Bondye isit la.”
37 And Saul consulted the Lord: “Shall I pursue the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hands of Israel?” And he did not respond to him on that day.
Saül te fè demand a Bondye: “Èske mwen dwe desann dèyè Filisten yo? Èske Ou va ba yo nan men Israël?” Men Li pa t reponn li nan jou sa a
38 And Saul said: “Bring here every single leader of the people. And we shall know and see by whom this sin was committed this day.
Saül te di: “Apwoche isit la, tout chèf a tout pèp la pou fè ankèt pou aprann kijan peche sa a te vin fèt jodi a.
39 As the Lord lives, who is the Savior of Israel, even if it were done by my son Jonathan, without retraction he shall die.” In this, no one among all the people contradicted him.
Paske jan SENYÈ a ki delivre Israël la viv la, malgre ke si se fis mwen, Jonathan, li va anverite mouri.” Men yon moun nan tout pèp la pa t reponn li.
40 And he said to all of Israel, “Separate yourselves on one side, and I, with my son Jonathan, will be on the other side.” And the people responded to Saul, “Do what seems good in your eyes.”
Alò, li te di a tout Israël: “Nou va sou yon kote e mwen menm avèk Jonathan va nan lòt kote a.” Epi pèp la te di a Saül: “Fè sa ki sanble bon a ou menm.”
41 And Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel: “O Lord, God of Israel, grant a sign: Why is it that you will not respond to your servant this day? If this iniquity is in me, or in my son Jonathan, grant an indication. Or if this iniquity is in your people, grant a sanctification.” And Jonathan and Saul were discovered, but the people were released.
Pou sa, Saül te di a SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la: “Fè yon tiraj osò konplè.” Epi Jonathan avèk Saül te pran; men pèp la te delivre.
42 And Saul said, “Cast lots between myself and Jonathan, my son.” And Jonathan was caught.
Saül te di: “Tiraj osò a antre mwen menm avèk Jonathan, fis mwen an.” Epi se Jonathan ki pran.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan revealed to him, and said: “Truly, I tasted a little honey with the top of the staff that was in my hand. And behold, I shall die.”
Alò Saül te di a Jonathan: “Di mwen kisa ou te fè a.” Konsa, Jonathan te rakonte li e te di: “Mwen, anverite, te goute yon ti kras siwo myèl avèk pwent baton ki te nan men m nan. Men mwen, fòk mwen mouri!”
44 And Saul said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, for you shall surely die, Jonathan!”
Saül te di: “Ke Bondye fè sa e menm plis; paske vrèman, Jonathan, ou oblije mouri.”
45 And the people said to Saul: “Why should Jonathan have to die, who has accomplished this great salvation in Israel? This is wrong. As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head should fall to the ground. For he has wrought with God this day.” Therefore, the people freed Jonathan, so that he would not die.
Men pèp la te di a Saül: “Èske fòk Jonathan ta mouri, ki te fè reyisi gran delivrans sa a an Israël? Lwen de sa! Kòm SENYÈ a viv la, pa menm yon cheve nan tèt li p ap tonbe atè; paske li te fè travay Bondye nan jou sa a.” Konsa, pèp la te sove Jonathan pou li pa t mouri.
46 And Saul withdrew, and he did not pursue the Philistines. And the Philistines went away to their own places.
Alò, Saül te monte kite afè kouri dèyè Filisten yo, e Filisten yo te ale kote plas pa yo a.
47 And Saul, his kingdom having been confirmed over Israel, was fighting against all his enemies on all sides: against Moab, and the sons of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he was successful.
Alò, lè Saül te pran plas chèf sou wayòm Israël la. Li te goumen kont tout lènmi li yo tout kote; kont Moab, fis a Ammon yo, Édom, wa a Zobah yo ak Filisten yo. Nenpòt kote li te vire li te pini yo.
48 And gathering together an army, he struck Amalek. And he rescued Israel from the hand of those who would lay waste to them.
Li te aji avèk kouraj; li te bat Amalekit yo, e li te delivre Israël soti nan men a sila ki te piyaje yo.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And as for the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn daughter was Merab, and the name of the younger one was Michal.
Alò, fis a Saül yo te Jonathan, Jischiv avèk Malkischua. Epi non a de fi yo se te konsa; non a premye ne a, Mérab e non a pi piti a, Mical.
50 And the name of the wife of Saul was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the first ruler of his military was Abner, the son of Ner, the first cousin of Saul.
Non a madanm a Saül se te Achinoam fi a Achimaats la. Epi non a kapitèn lame a se te Abner, fis a Ner a, tonton a Saül.
51 For Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner was the father of Abner, and the son of Abiel.
Kish se te papa a Saül ak Ner. Papa a Abner te fis a Abiel.
52 Now there was a powerful war against the Philistines during all the days of Saul. And so, whomever Saul had seen to be a strong man, and fit for battle, he joined him to himself.
Alò, lagè kont Filisten yo te di anpil pandan tout jou a Saül yo. Epi lè Saül te wè nenpòt gason pwisan oswa vanyan, li te fè l vin atache nan sèvis pa l la.
