1 Samuel 2
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, Mine heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged ouer mine enemies, because I reioyce in thy saluation.
Lè sa a, Ana lapriyè, li di: -Seyè a fè kè m' kontan anpil! Seyè a remoute kouraj mwen. M'ap kenbe tèt ak lènmi yo. Kè m' kontan paske Bondye delivre mwen.
2 There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God.
Pa gen Bondye tankou Seyè a. Non, pa gen tankou l'. Pa gen moun ki ka pwoteje tankou Bondye nou an.
3 Speake no more presumptuously: let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him enterprises are established.
Sispann pale avèk lògèy. Pa kite pawòl radiyès soti nan bouch nou. Paske Seyè a se yon Bondye ki konnen tout bagay. Li jije tou sa moun ap fè.
4 The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength.
L'ap kraze zam ki nan men vanyan sòlda yo. Men l'ap bay moun ki fèb yo fòs kouraj.
5 They that were full, are hired foorth for bread, and the hungrie are no more hired, so that the barren hath borne seuen: and shee that had many children, is feeble.
Sa ki te konn manje vant deboutonnen yo al vann jounen pou yo ka jwenn manje pou yo manje. Sa ki t'ap mouri grangou yo pa grangou ankò. Fanm ki pa t' ka fè pitit la fè pitit sèt fwa. Sa ki te gen anpil pitit la rete san anyen.
Seyè a touye, lèfini li bay lavi ankò. Li fè moun desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. Li mennen yo tounen ankò. (Sheol h7585)
7 The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth.
Li fè moun rich, li fè moun pòv. Li desann moun jouk atè, lèfini li fè yo kanpe ankò.
8 He raiseth vp ye poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lordes, and he hath set the world vpon them.
Li wete pòv yo nan lapenn yo, li bay endijan yo men pou yo soti nan mizè yo. Li fè yo chita menm kote ak grannèg yo. Li ba yo bèl pozisyon nan lasosyete. Fondasyon latè, se nan men Seyè a sa ye. Se sou yo li bati tou sa ki la.
9 Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong.
L'ap pwoteje lavi moun k'ap sèvi l' ak tout kè yo. Men, mechan yo pral mouri nan fènwa. Paske se pa fòs kouraj yon nonm k'ap fè l' genyen.
10 The Lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed, and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall giue power vnto his King, and exalt the horne of his Anoynted.
Seyè a ap kraze tout lènmi l' yo. L'ap rete nan syèl la, l'ap voye loraj tonbe sou yo. Seyè a gen pou jije dènye moun ki sou latè. L'a bay wa li a pouvwa, l'ap chita pouvwa moun li te chwazi pou wa a.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest.
Apre sa, Elkana tounen lakay li lavil Rama, men yo kite ti gason an lavil Silo pou l' te sèvi Seyè a sou zòd Eli, prèt la.
12 Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord.
Pitit gason Eli yo te yon bann vòryen. Pou yo, Seyè a pa t' egziste,
13 For the Priestes custome towarde the people was this: when any man offered sacrifice, the Priestes boy came, while the flesh was seething, and a fleshhooke with three teeth, in his hand,
ni yo pa t' aji jan prèt yo fèt pou aji ak pèp la. Chak fwa yon nonm t'ap touye bèt pou ofri bay Bondye, domestik prèt la vini avèk yon gwo fouchèt twa dan nan men l'. Antan vyann lan ap kwit nan dife a,
14 And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the panne, or into the potte: all that the fleshhooke brought vp, the Priest tooke for himselfe: thus they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thither to Shiloh.
li plonje fouchèt la nan kaswòl la, nan chodyè a, nan mamit la osinon nan bonm lan. Tou sa fouchèt la te pran, se te pou prèt la. Se konsa yo te fè sa lavil Silo ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl la ki te vin fè ofrann yo la.
15 Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priests boy came and saide to the man that offered, Giue me flesh to rost for the priest: for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but rawe.
Sa ki pi rèd ankò, anvan menm yo te wete grès pou boule yo, domestik prèt la vini, epi li di nonm ki t'ap ofri bèt yo te touye a konsa: -Ban m' moso vyann pou prèt la fè woti. Li p'ap asepte ou ba li vyann bouyi. Li bezwen vyann fre.
16 And if any man saide vnto him, Let them burne the fatte according to the custome, then take as much as thine heart desireth: then hee would answere, No, but thou shalt giue it nowe: and if thou wilt not, I will take it by force.
Men, si nonm lan ta reponn li: Tann yo boule grès la anvan, apre sa w'a pran sa ou vle, domestik prèt la ap di l': -Non! Ban mwen l' koulye a. Si ou pa ban mwen li, m'ap pran l' ak fòs pa m'.
17 Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord.
Peche pitit gason Eli yo te grav anpil anpil devan Seyè a, paske yo pa t' respekte ofrann yo te fè pou Seyè a.
18 Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod.
Ti Samyèl menm t'ap sèvi Seyè a. Li te gen yon ti jile tankou prèt yo konn mete a.
19 And his mother made him a litle coat, and brought it to him from yeere to yeere, when she came vp with her husband, to offer the yerely sacrifice.
Chak lanne manman l' te fè yon ti rad pou li, epi li te pote l' ba li lè li moute ak mari l' pou touye bèt pou yo ofri chak lanne a.
20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord giue thee seede of this woman, for the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed vnto their place.
Se konsa, Eli te beni Elkana ansanm ak madanm li. Li di Elkana: -M'ap lapriyè Seyè a pou l' ba ou lòt pitit avèk madanm sa a pou ranplase pitit ou mete apa pou Seyè a. Apre sa yo tounen lakay yo.
21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceiued, and bare three sonnes, and two daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe before the Lord.
Seyè a beni Ana ankò. Ana fè senk lòt pitit, de fi twa gason. Ti Samyèl menm t'ap grandi nan kay Seyè a.
22 So Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and howe they laye with the women that assembled at the doore of the tabernacle of the Congregation.
Eli te fin granmoun. Li te tande moun ap di tou sa pitit gason l' yo t'ap fè moun Izrayèl yo pase, jan yo te menm rive kouche ak medam ki t'ap travay nan pòtay devan Kay Randevou a.
23 And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you.
Lè sa a, li di yo konsa: -Poukisa n'ap fè bagay konsa? Mwen tande tout vye koze y'ap di sou nou nan pèp la.
24 Do no more, my sonnes, for it is no good report that I heare, which is, that ye make the Lords people to trespasse.
Sispann non, pitit mwen yo! Paske, sa m' tande y'ap di sou nou yo se pa bèl bagay menm.
25 If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwithstanding they obeyed not the voyce of their father, because the Lord would slay them.
Si yon moun fè yon lòt yon bagay mal, Seyè a ka pran defans li. Men lè se Bondye menm yon moun fè mal, ki moun ki va pran defans li? Men, mesye yo pa t' vle koute sa papa a t'ap di yo, paske Seyè a te fin pran desizyon l' pou l' te touye yo.
26 (Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)
Ti Samyèl menm t'ap grandi toujou. Li t'ap aji yon jan ki te fè ni Bondye ni lèzòm plezi.
27 And there came a man of God vnto Eli, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did not I plainely appeare vnto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house?
Yon pwofèt Bondye vin jwenn Eli, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Lè zansèt ou yo, Arawon ak moun fanmi l' yo, te esklav nan peyi Lejip ap sèvi farawon an, mwen te fè yo konnen ki moun mwen ye.
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer vpon mine altar, and to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me, and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel.
Nan tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo se fanmi pa li a mwen te chwazi pou sèvi m' prèt devan lotèl mwen, pou yo boule lansan, pou pote ti jile prèt yo devan m'. Epi mwen ba yo dwa pou yo pran yon pòsyon nan tout bèt yo ofri pou boule pou mwen sou lotèl la.
29 Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice and mine offering, which I commanded in my Tabernacle, and honourest thy children aboue mee, to make your selues fatte of the first fruites of all the offerings of Israel my people?
Pouki nou pa respekte bèt yo touye pou mwen ak ofrann mwen te bay lòd pou pèp la fè nan Tanp mwen an? Poukisa, ou menm Eli, ou gen pitit ou yo plis krentif pase m', kifè ou kite yo ap gra ak pi bon pòsyon nan tout ofrann moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap fè pou mwen?
30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised.
Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, men sa m'ap di: Nan tan lontan, mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap kite fanmi ou ak moun branch fanmi ou yo sèvi m' prèt pou tout tan. Men koulye a, mwen di: Mwen p'ap fè sa ankò paske m'ap fè bèl bagay pou moun ki gen krentif pou mwen. Men moun k'ap derespekte m' yo, m'ap fè yo wont. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
31 Beholde, the dayes come, that I will cut off thine arme, and the arme of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an olde man in thine house.
Gade! Koulye a lè a pral rive, mwen pral touye tout jenn gason ki nan fanmi ou ak nan tout branch fanmi zansèt ou a. Konsa p'ap gen gason nan fanmi ou ki va rive granmoun.
32 And thou shalt see thine enemie in the habitation of the Lord in all thinges wherewith God shall blesse Israel, and there shall not be an olde man in thine house for euer.
Lespri ou pral boulvèse lè w'a wè tout bagay ap mache byen pou pèp la, men pesonn nan fanmi ou p'ap janm viv lontan jouk pou yo rive granmoun.
33 Neuerthelesse, I will not destroy euery one of thine from mine altar, to make thine eyes to faile, and to make thine heart sorowfull: and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men.
M'ap kite yonn nan fanmi ou yo vivan pou li ka sèvi m' prèt. Men, l'ap pèdi de grenn je l' yo, epi lapenn ap fini avè l'. Tout lòt fanmi ou yo pral mouri tou jenn nan move kondisyon.
34 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shall come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both.
Lè w'a wè de pitit gason ou yo, Ofni ak Fineas, tonbe mouri menm jou a, w'a konnen sa m' te di a se vre.
35 And I will stirre me vp a faithfull Priest, that shall do according to mine heart and according to my minde: and I wil build him a sure house, and he shall walke before mine Anointed for euer.
Mwen pral chwazi yon lòt prèt ki p'ap janm twonpe m'. L'a fè tou sa m'a vle l' fè, tou sa mwen ta renmen wè l' fè. M'a ba li yon fanmi ki p'ap janm disparèt, se yo ki va toujou sèvi wa mwen va chwazi a.
36 And all that are left in thine house, shall come and bowe downe to him for a piece of siluer and a morsell of bread, and shall say, Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestes offices, that I may eate a morsell of bread.
Men, moun ki va rete vivan nan fanmi ou lan va ale bò kote prèt sa a pou mande l' yon ti lajan ak yon ti manje, l'a lapriyè nan pye prèt la pou prèt la kite l' ede lòt prèt yo pou li ka jwenn kichòy pou l' manje.
