< 1 Samuel 7 >
1 Then the men of Kiriath-iearim came, and tooke vp the Arke of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill: and they sanctified Eleazar his sonne, to keepe the Arke of the Lord.
Se konsa moun lavil Kiriyat Jearim yo vin pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a. Yo mete l' lakay Abinadad, sou tèt yon ti mòn. Yo chwazi Eleaza, pitit gason Abinadad la, pou okipe Bwat Kontra Seyè a.
2 (For while the Arke abode in Kiriath-iearim, the time was long, for it was twentie yeeres) and al the house of Israel lamented after ye Lord.
Bwat Kontra Seyè a te rete yon bon tan lavil Kiriyat-Jearim. Li te pase ventan la. Pandan tout tan sa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap rele nan pye Seyè a pou mande l' sekou.
3 Then Samuel spake vnto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye be come againe vnto the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, and Ashtaroth, and direct your hearts vnto the Lord, and serue him only, and he shall deliuer you out of the hand of ye Philistims.
Samyèl pale ak tout pèp la, li di yo konsa: -Si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a ak tout kè nou vre, se pou nou wete tout bondye moun lòt nasyon yo ak tout pòtre metrès Astate yo nan mitan nou. Viv pou Seyè a sèlman, se li menm ase pou nou sèvi. Lè sa a l'a delivre nou anba men moun Filisti yo.
4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and serued the Lord onely.
Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo wete tout estati bondye Baal ak metrès Astate yo nan mitan yo. Yo pran sèvi Seyè a sèlman.
5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you vnto the Lord.
Apre sa, Samyèl di yo: -Sanble tout pèp Izrayèl la lavil Mispa, m'a lapriyè Seyè a la pou nou.
6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drewe water and powred it out before the Lord, and fasted the same day, and sayd there, We haue sinned against the Lord. And Samuel iudged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
Se konsa yo tout sanble lavil Mispa. Yo tire dlo, yo vide l' atè tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Jou sa a, yo rete san manje. Epi yo di: -Nou peche kont Seyè a! Samyèl te rete lavil Mispa, se la li te konn regle tout bagay pou pèp Izrayèl la.
7 When the Philistims heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the princes of the Philistims went vp against Israel: and when the children of Israel heard that, they were afraide of the Philistims.
Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen pèp Izrayèl la te sanble lavil Mispa, senk chèf moun Filisti yo moute al atake yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tande sa, yo te pè.
8 And the children of Israel sayd to Samuel, Cease not to crie vnto the Lord our God for vs, that hee may saue vs out of the hand of the Philistims.
Epi yo di Samyèl: -Pa sispann lapriyè Seyè a pou nou, pou l' ka sove nou anba men moun Filisti yo.
9 Then Samuel tooke a sucking lambe, and offered it all together for a burnt offering vnto the Lord, and Samuel cryed vnto the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him.
Samyèl pran yon ti mouton dèyè manman, li boule l' nèt, li ofri l' bay Seyè a. Lèfini, Samyèl lapriyè Seyè a pou l' vin ede pèp Izrayèl la. Seyè a reponn lapriyè a.
10 And as Samuel offered the burnt offering, the Philistims came to fight against Israel: but the Lord thundred with a great thunder that day vpon the Philistims, and scattered them: so they were slaine before Israel.
Pandan Samyèl t'ap boule ofrann lan, moun Filisti yo mache sou pèp Izrayèl la vin atake yo. Men lè sa a, Seyè a voye yon kout loraj sou moun Filisti yo. Moun Filisti yo pèdi tèt yo, yo pran kouri met deyò devan pèp Izrayèl la.
11 And the men of Israel went from Mizpeh and pursued the Philistims, and smote them vntill they came vnder Beth-car.
Moun Izrayèl yo soti lavil Mispa, yo pran kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo jouk rive toupre lavil Bètka. Sou tout wout la yo bat yo byen bat.
12 Then Samuel tooke a stone and pitched it betweene Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name thereof, Eben-ezer, and he sayd, Hitherto hath the Lord holpen vs.
Lè sa a, Samyèl pran yon wòch, li mete l' ant lavil Mispa ak lavil Chenn. Li rele wòch la Ebenezè, paske li t'ap di: Jouk jòdi a se Seyè a ki pote nou sekou.
13 So the Philistims were brought vnder, and they came no more againe into the coastes of Israel: and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistims all the dayes of Samuel.
Se konsa moun Filisti yo te pèdi batay la nèt. Yo pa janm rekonmanse anvayi teritwa moun Izrayèl yo ankò. Seyè a te kenbe yo anba men l' pandan tout tan Samyèl te vivan.
14 Also the cities which the Philistims had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Ekron euen to Gath: and Israel deliuered the coastes of the same out of the hands of the Philistims: and there was peace betweene Israel and the Amorites.
Tout lavil moun Filisti yo te pran, depi lavil Ekwon jouk lavil Gat, tout te tounen nan men moun Izrayèl yo ankò. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la te mete moun Filisti yo deyò sou tout teritwa ki te pou yo. Epitou pa t' gen lagè menm ant moun Izrayèl yo ak moun Amori yo.
15 And Samuel iudged Israel all the dayes of his life,
Samyèl gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la jouk li mouri.
16 And went about yeere by yere to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and iudged Israel in all those places.
Chak lanne li te fè vizit nan tout peyi a, li pase lavil Betèl, lavil Gilgal ak lavil Mispa. Nan tout lavil yo, li te konn regle tout kont moun yo te gen yonn ak lòt.
17 Afterward hee returned to Ramah: for there was his house, and there he iudged Israel: also he built an altar there vnto the Lord.
Apre sa, li tounen lakay li lavil Rama kote li te konn regle zafè pou pèp Izrayèl la tou. Li te bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a lavil Rama.
