1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because Jehovah has anointed thee prince over his inheritance?
Konsa, Samuel te pran poban lwil la. Li te vide li sou tèt li. Li te bo li e te di: “Èske SENYÈ a pa t onksyone ou kòm prens sou eritaj Li a?
2 When thou goest from me to-day, thou shalt meet two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to thee, The asses are found which thou wentest to seek, and behold, thy father has dismissed the matter of the asses, and is anxious about you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
Lè ou kite mwen jodi a, alò ou va jwenn de moun toupre tonm Rachel la, nan teritwa Benjamin nan Tseltsach. Yo va di ou: ‘Bourik ke ou t ap chache yo gen tan twouve. Alò, gade byen, papa ou pa twouble tèt li ankò sou bourik yo, men li twouble pou ou menm. L ap mande: “Kisa mwen va fè konsènan pitit mwen an?”’”
3 And thou shalt go on forward from thence, and shalt come to the oak of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God, to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three cakes of bread, and another carrying a flask of wine.
Alò, ou va ale pi lwen soti la, e ou va parèt jis nan chèn Thabor a. La, twa mesye k ap monte vè Bondye Béthel yo va rankontre avè w. Youn k ap pote twa jenn kabrit, yon lòt k ap pote twa moso pen, e yon lòt k ap pote yon po diven.
4 And they will ask after thy welfare, and give thee two loaves, which thou shalt receive of their hands.
Yo va di ou: “Bonjou”, e yo va ba ou de moso pen, ke ou va aksepte nan men yo.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where are the outposts of the Philistines; and it shall come to pass, when thou comest thither, into the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with lute and tambour and pipe and harp before them; and they themselves prophesying.
Apre, ou va vini nan ti mòn Bondye a kote ganizon lame Filisten an ye a. Konsa, li va fèt ke depi ou vini la, kote vil la, ou va rankontre yon gwoup pwofèt k ap desann soti nan plas anwo a avèk gita, tanbouren, flit ak bandyo devan yo, e yo va pwofetize.
6 And the Spirit of Jehovah will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
Epi Lespri Bondye a va vini sou ou avèk gwo fòs. Ou va pwofetize avèk yo, e ou va chanje pou vin yon lòt moun.
7 And it shall be, when these signs shall come to thee, thou shalt do as thy hand shall find; for God is with thee.
Li va rive ke lè sign sa yo parèt sou ou, ou va fè pou kont ou sa ke okazyon an mande, paske Bondye avèk ou.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to thee, to offer up burnt-offerings, [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou wait, until I come to thee and inform thee what thou shalt do.
“Epi ou va desann devan mwen Guilgal. Gade byen, m ap desann kote ou pou ofri ofrann brile avèk sakrifis lapè yo. Ou va tann sèt jou jiskaske mwen vin kote ou pou montre ou kisa ou ta dwe fè.”
9 And it was [so] that when he turned his back to go away from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.
Alò, li te rive ke lè li te vire do li pou kite Samuel, Bondye te chanje kè li, epi tout sign sa yo te rive nan jou sa a.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
Lè yo te rive la, nan kote ti mòn nan, yon gwoup pwofèt te rankontre li. Epi Lespri Bondye a te vini sou li avèk fòs, jiskaske li te pwofetize pami yo.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
Li vin rive ke lè tout moun ki te rekonèt li oparavan yo te wè ke koulye a li pwofetize avèk pwofèt yo, ke pèp la te di youn ak lòt: “Kisa ki rive a fis a Kish la? Èske Saül osi pami pwofèt yo?”
12 And a man of that place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
Yon mesye nan plas sa a te di: “Alò, kilès ki papa yo?” Konsa, sa te devni yon pwovèb: “Èske Saül, osi pami pwofèt yo?”
13 And when he had ended prophesying, he came to the high place.
Lè li te fin pwofetize li te vini nan plas anwo a.
14 And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses; and when we saw that they were nowhere, we went to Samuel.
Alò, tonton Saül te di li avèk sèvitè li a: “Kote ou te ale?” Epi li te di: “Pou chache bourik yo. Men lè nou vin wè yo p ap kab twouve, nou te ale kote Samuel.”
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said to you.
Tonton Saül te di li: “Souple, di m sa ke Samuel te di ou a.”
16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us for certain that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken, he told him not.
Konsa Saül te di tonton li: “Li te pale nou byen klè ke bourik yo gen tan twouve.” Men li pa t pale li afè wayòm ke Samuel te pale a.
17 And Samuel called the people together to Jehovah to Mizpah.
Apre sa Samuel te konvoke pèp la ansanm vè SENYÈ a nan Mitspa.
18 And he said to the children of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you;
Li te di a fis Israël yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Mwen te mennen Israël monte soti Égypte. Mwen te delivre nou soti nan men Ejipsyen yo, e nou te soti de men a tout wayòm ki t ap oprime nou yo.’
19 but ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your troubles, and have said unto him, [Nay, ] but a king shalt thou set over us. Now therefore present yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands.
Men jodi a, nou te rejte Bondye nou an, ki delivre nou de tout malè nou yo ak detrès nou yo. Malgre sa nou vin di: ‘Non, men mete yon wa sou nou!’ Pou sa, prezante nou menm devan SENYÈ a pa tribi nou yo ak gran fanmi nou yo.”
20 And Samuel caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Konsa, Samuel te mennen tout tribi Israël yo vin toupre li, e tribi Benjamin an te pran pa tiraj osò.
21 And he caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, and the family of Matri was taken; and Saul the son of Kish was taken. And they sought him, but he was not to be found.
Alò, li te mennen tribi Benjamin an vin toupre pa fanmi li yo, e yo te pran fanmi Matri a. Konsa, Saül, fis a Kish la te vin pran. Men lè yo vin chache li, yo pa t kab twouve l.
22 Therefore they inquired of Jehovah further, Will the man yet come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the baggage.
Pou sa, yo vin mande plis a SENYÈ a: “Èske nonm nan gen tan rive isit la deja?” Pou sa, Bondye te di: “Gade byen, l ap kache kò li kote pwovizyon yo.”
23 And they ran and fetched him thence; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Konsa yo te kouri pran li soti la, e lè li te kanpe pami pèp la, li te pi wo pase tout lòt moun nan pèp la soti nan zepòl li.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted and said, May the king live.
Samuel te di a tout pèp la: “Èske nou wè sila ke SENYÈ a te chwazi a? Anverite, nanpwen lòt moun ki tankou li pami tout pèp la.” “Konsa, tout pèp la te rele fò. Yo te di: “Viv Wa a!”
25 And Samuel told the people the right of the kingdom, and wrote it in the book, and laid it before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
Alò, Samuel te pale pèp la règleman a wayòm nan. Li te ekri yo nan liv la, e li te plase li devan SENYÈ a. Konsa, Samuel te voye tout pèp la ale, yo chak nan pwòp kay pa yo.
26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and with him went the band, whose hearts God had touched.
Anplis Saül te ale lakay li Guibea. Epi mesye vanyan yo avèk kè ki te touche pa Bondye te ale avèk li.
27 But the children of Belial said, How should this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no gifts. But he was as one deaf.
Men sèten sanzave ki te di: “Kijan mesye sila a kapab delivre nou?” Yo te meprize li e pa t pote okenn kado pou li. Men li te rete an silans.
