1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came vp, and besieged Iabesh Gilead: and all the men of Iabesh saide vnto Nahash, Make a couenant with vs, and we will be thy seruants.
Alò Nachasch, Amonit la te vin monte pou te fè syèj sou Jabès nan Galaad; epi tout mesye Jabès yo te di a Nachasch: “Fè yon akò avèk nou e nou va sèvi ou.”
2 And Nahash ye Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a couenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eies, and bring that shame vpon all Israel.
Men Nachasch, Amonit la, te di yo: “Mwen va fè l avè w sou yon sèl kondisyon; pou mwen kreve zye dwat a nou chak! Konsa mwen va fè li yon repwòch sou tout Israël.”
3 To whome the Elders of Iabesh said, Giue vs seuen daies respet, that we may sende messengers vnto all the coastes of Israel: and then if no man deliuer vs, we will come out to thee.
Ansyen nan Jabès yo te di a li: “Bay nou sèt jou, pou nou kapab voye mesaje yo toupatou nan teritwa Israël la. Alò, si nanpwen moun pou delivre nou, nou va sòti deyò kote ou.”
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and tolde these tidings in the eares of the people: and all the people lift vp their voices and wept.
Alò mesaje yo te vini Guibea kote Saül e te pale pawòl sa yo nan zòrèy a pèp la, e tout pèp la te leve vwa yo pou te kriye.
5 And behold, Saul came following the cattell out of the fielde, and Saul saide, What aileth this people, that they weepe? And they tolde him the tidings of the men of Iabesh.
Alò gade byen, Saül t ap sòti nan chan an dèyè bèf kabwèt yo. Li te di: “Kisa ki gen avèk pèp la pou y ap kriye la a?” Konsa, yo te pataje avèk li pawòl a mesye Jabès yo.
6 Then the Spirit of God came vpon Saul, when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding angrie,
Konsa Lespri Bondye te vini sou Saül avèk gran fòs lè li te tande pawòl sa yo, e li te vin fache anpil.
7 And tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coastes of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul, and after Samuel, so shall his oxen be serued. And the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
Li te pran yon pè bèf k ap rale chaj, e li te koupe yo an mòso. Li te voye yo toupatou nan teritwa Israël la nan men mesaje yo. Li te di: “Nenpòt moun ki pa vin parèt apre Saül, e apre Samuel, se konsa l ap rive pou bèf pa li yo.” Konsa, lakrent SENYÈ a te tonbe sou pèp la e yo te sòti tankou yon sèl moun.
8 And when he nombred them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundreth thousande men: and the men of Iudah thirtie thousand.
Li te konte yo nan Bézek e fis Israël yo te twa-san-mil e mesye Juda yo te trant-mil.
9 Then they saide vnto the messengers that came, So say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To morowe by then the sunne be hote, ye shall haue helpe. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Iabesh, which were glad.
Yo te di a mesaje ki te vini yo: “Konsa nou va pale a mesye a Jabés-Galaad la: ‘Demen, soti nan lè solèy la fè cho, ou va genyen delivrans ou.’” Konsa mesaje yo te ale pale mesye Jabés yo; epi yo te kontan.
10 Therefore the men of Iabesh sayde, To morowe we will come out vnto you, and yee shall doe with vs all that pleaseth you.
Alò, mesye a Jabés yo te di: “Demen nou va parèt vè nou e nou va kapab fè avèk nou sa ki sanble bon pou nou menm.”
11 And when the morowe was come, Saul put the people in three bandes, and they came in vpon the hoste in the morning watche, and slewe the Ammonites vntill the heate of the day: and they that remained, were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Nan pwochen maten an, Saül te divize pèp la an twa konpayi. Epi yo te vin antre nan mitan kan an nan lè maten pou te frape Amonit yo jiskaske chalè joune a te vin rive. Sila ki te siviv yo te gaye jiskaske pa t gen de nan yo ki te rete ansanm.
12 Then the people said vnto Samuel, Who is he that saide, Shall Saul reigne ouer vs? bring those men that we may slaie them.
Alò, pèp la te di a Samuel: “Se kilès ki te di nou: ‘Èske Saül va renye sou nou?’ Mennen mesye yo pou nou kab mete yo a lanmò.”
13 But Saul said, There shall no man die this day: for to day the Lord hath saued Israel.
Men Saül te di: “Nanpwen yon moun k ap mete a lanmò nan jou sa a; paske jodi a, SENYÈ a te acheve delivrans Israël la.”
14 Then saide Samuel vnto ye people, Come, that we may goe to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome there.
Alò, Samuel te di a pèp la: “Vini, annou ale Guilgal pou renouvle wayòm nan la.”
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and made Saul King there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offered peace offerings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the men of Israel reioyced exceedingly.
Epi tout moun te monte Guilgal e la, yo te fè Saül Wa devan SENYÈ a nan Guilgal. La osi, yo te ofri sakrifis lapè devan SENYÈ a. Epi la Saül avèk tout mesye Israël yo te rejwi anpil.
