1 Samuel 4
1 And Samuel spake vnto all Israel: and Israel went out against the Philistims to battel and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistims pitched in Aphek.
Chak fwa Samyèl te pale tout pèp la te koute l'. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la soti pou y' al goumen ak moun Filisti yo. Konsa, yo moute kan yo bò lavil Ebenezè. Moun Filisti yo menm moute kan pa yo lavil Afèk.
2 And the Philistims put themselues in aray against Israel: and when they ioyned the battell, Israel was smitten downe before the Philistims: who slewe of the armie in the fielde about foure thousand men.
Moun Filisti yo pran pozisyon anfas moun Izrayèl yo pou yo goumen. Epi batay la konmanse. Moun Filisti yo bat moun Izrayèl yo byen bat, yo touye katmil (4000) moun konsa nan plenn kote yo t'ap goumen an.
3 So when the people were come into the campe, the Elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten vs this day before ye Philistims? let vs bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord out of Shiloh vnto vs, that when it commeth among vs, it may saue vs out of the hande of our enemies.
Lè sa a, sa ki te chape yo tounen nan kan yo a, tout chèf ki te reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la di: -Poukisa Seyè a kite moun Filisti yo bat nou konsa jòdi a? Ann al pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki lavil Silo pou li ka nan mitan nou. Konsa l'a delivre nou anba men lènmi nou yo.
4 Then the people sent to Shiloh, and brought from thence the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of hostes, who dwelleth betweene the Cherubims: and there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas, with the Arke of the couenant of God.
Se konsa yo voye kèk moun lavil Silo. Yo pran Bwat Kontra Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Seyè ki chita sou fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo. Yo pote l' vini. Tout de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, te la ansanm ak Bwat Kontra a.
5 And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the hoste, all Israel shouted a mightie shoute, so that the earth rang againe.
Lè Bwat Kontra Seyè a rive nan kan an, tout moun Izrayèl yo bay yon sèl gwo rèl, tè a tranble.
6 And when the Philistims heard the noyse of the shoute, they said, What meaneth the sound of this mightie shoute in the host of the Ebrewes? and they vnderstoode, that the Arke of the Lord was come into the hoste.
Moun Filisti yo tande rèl la, yo di: -Pouki tout gwo rèl sa a nan kan moun Izrayèl yo? Lè yo vin konnen se Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki te rive nan kan an,
7 And the Philistims were afraide, and saide, God is come into the hoste: therefore saide they, Wo vnto vs: for it hath not bene so heretofore.
yo vin pè, yo t'ap di: -Bondye moun sa yo rive nan kan yo a. Nou nan ka, devenn pa nou! Bagay konsa pa janm rive nou anvan sa!
8 Wo vnto vs, who shall deliuer vs out of the hande of these mightie Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wildernes.
Ala devenn pou nou, mezanmi! Ki moun ki ka delivre nou anba men bondye sa yo ki plen pouvwa? Se bondye sa yo ki te voye tout kalite malè sou moun Lejip yo nan dezè a.
9 Be strong and play the men, O Philistims, that ye be not seruants vnto the Ebrewes, as they haue serued you: be valiant therefore, and fight.
Se pou nou mete gason sou nou, nou menm moun Filisti, pou nou pa tounen esklav ebre yo menm jan yo te esklav nou an. Se pou n' goumen tankou vanyan gason!
10 And the Philistims fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: and there was an exceeding great slaughter: for there fell of Israel thirtie thousand footemen.
Moun Filisti yo goumen rèd mare, yo bat moun Izrayèl yo ki kouri chape al lakay yo. Se te yon gwo kou pou pèp Izrayèl la. Te gen trantmil (30000) sòlda apye ki te mouri nan lame pèp Izrayèl la.
11 And the Arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas died.
Moun Filisti yo te sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a epi tou de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, te mouri.
12 And there ranne a man of Beniamin out of the armie, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head.
Yon nonm nan branch fanmi Benjamen an te pran kouri depi kote yo t'ap goumen an jouk lavil Silo. Li rive menm jou a. Li te chire rad sou li, li te mete pousyè sou tèt li pou fè wè jan li te nan lapenn.
13 And when hee came, loe, Eli sate vpon a seate by the wayside, wayting: for his heart feared for the Arke of God and when the man came into the citie to tell it, all the citie cried out.
Eli menm te chita sou chèz li a bò wout la ap veye paske kè l' pa t' poze pou Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Nonm lan lage nouvèl la nan tout lavil la. Tout moun t'ap pouse rèl tèlman yo te pè.
14 And when Eli heard the noyse of the crying, he sayd, What meaneth this noyse of the tumult? and the man came in hastily, and tolde Eli.
Eli tande bri a, li mande: -Pouki tout bri sa a? Nonm lan kouri pote nouvèl la bay Eli.
15 (Nowe Eli was fourescore and eighteene yeere olde, and his eyes were dimme that hee could not see)
Eli te gen katrevendizwitan sou tèt li, li pa t' wè menm nan je l' ankò.
16 And the man sayd vnto Eli, I came from the armie, and I fled this day out of the hoste: and he sayd, What thing is done, my sonne?
Nonm lan di Eli konsa: -Mwen fèk soti kote yo t'ap goumen an, mwen chape kò m' nan batay la vin isit la. Eli di l': -Ki jan sa pase, pitit mwen!
17 Then the messenger answered and sayd, Israel is fled before the Philistims, and there hath bene also a great slaughter among the people: and moreouer thy two sonnes, Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the Arke of God is taken.
Mesaje a reponn, li di l' konsa: -Moun Izrayèl yo kouri pou moun Filisti yo ki touye anpil moun nan pèp la. De pitit gason ou yo, Ofni ak Fineas, mouri. Moun Filisti yo sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a.
18 And when he had made mention of the Arke of God, Eli fell from his seate backward by the side of the gate, and his necke was broken, and he dyed: for he was an olde man and heauie: and he had iudged Israel fourtie yeeres.
Nonmen nonm lan nonmen Bwat Kontra a, Eli sot tonbe sou chèz la, li blayi atè devan pòtay la. Li te fin granmoun epi li te gwo anpil. Nwa kou l' kase sèk, li mouri. Li te pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
19 And his daughter in lawe Phinehas wife was with childe neere her trauell: and when she heard the report that the Arke of God was taken, and that her father in lawe and her husband were dead, she bowed her selfe, and trauailed: for her paines came vpon her.
Bèlfi Eli a, madanm Fineas, te ansent, li t'ap tann jou pou l' akouche. Lè li tande yo te pran Bwat Kontra Bondye a, epi bòpè l' ansanm ak mari l' te mouri, lamenm tranche pran l', li akouche.
20 And about the time of her death, the women that stoode about her, sayd vnto her, Feare not: for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it.
Men, medam ki te la avè l' yo wè l'ap mouri, yo di l' konsa: -Pran kouraj, machè! Ou fè yon pitit gason. Men li pa reponn anyen, li pa okipe yo.
21 And she named the childe Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel, because the Arke of God was taken, and because of her father in lawe and her husband.
Li rele ti gason an Ikabòd, epi li di: -Pèp Izrayèl la pèdi lasistans pouvwa Bondye a. Li t'ap di sa akòz Bwat Kontra Bondye yo te sezi a.
22 She sayde againe, The glory is departed from Israel: for the Arke of God is taken.
Li t'ap di: -Wi, avèk Bwat Kontra Bondye yo pran an, pèp Izrayèl la pèdi lasistans pouvwa Bondye a.
