1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was — years old when he began to reign; and two years he reigned over Israel.
Saül te gen trant ane lè l te kòmanse renye, e li te renye pandan karann-de ane sou Israël.
2 And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmas and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeath-benjamin; and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Alò, Saül te chwazi pou li menm twa mil mesye an Israël. Pami sila yo, de-mil te avèk Saül nan Micmasch ak nan peyi ti mòn Béthel la, pandan mil te avèk Jonathan nan Guibea pou Benjamin an. Men li te voye ale tout lòt moun yo, yo chak nan pwòp tant pa yo.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the horn throughout all the land, saying: 'Let the Hebrews hear.'
Jonathan te frape post militè a Filisten ki te nan Guéba yo e Filisten yo te tande Koze sa a. Alò, Saül te soufle twonpèt la atravè tout peyi a, e li te di: “Kite Ebre yo tande.”
4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also had made himself odious with the Philistines. And the people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
Tout Israël te tande nouvèl ke Saül te frape post a Filisten yo, e osi ke Israël te vin rayisab a Filisten yo. Konsa pèp la te resevwa lòd pou rasanble Guilgal.
5 And the Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude; and they came up, and pitched in Michmas, eastward of Beth-aven.
Filisten yo te rasanble pou goumen avèk Israël; trant-mil cha avèk si-mil chevalye ak kantite moun ki te tankou sab ki bò lanmè. Anpil konsa, e yo te vin monte pou te fè kan nan Micmasch, nan lès a Beth-Aven.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait — for the people were distressed — then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in holds, and in pits.
Lè mesye Israël yo te vin wè ke yo te kwense (paske moun yo te vini sou yo anpil); alò, pèp la te kache kò yo nan gwòt yo, nan raje a, nan falèz yo, nan chanm anba tè yo ak nan sitèn yo.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Anplis, kèk nan Ebre yo te travèse Jourdain an pou antre nan peyi Gad avèk Galaad. Men pou Saül, li te toujou Guilgal, e tout pèp la te swiv li avèk kò yo tou ap tranble.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed; but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Alò li te tann pandan sèt jou, selon tan fikse pa Samuel la; men Samuel pa t vini Guilgal, e pèp la t ap gaye kite li.
9 And Saul said: 'Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings.' And he offered the burnt-offering.
Konsa, Saül te di: “Mennen ban mwen ofrann brile avèk ofrann lapè.” Epi li te ofri ofrann brile yo.
10 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
Lè li te fin ofri ofrann brile yo, men vwala, Samuel te vini. Epi Saül te parèt deyò pou rankontre li e salye li.
11 And Samuel said: 'What hast thou done?' And Saul said: 'Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together against Michmas;
Men Samuel te di: “Kisa ou te fè?” Epi Saül te di: “Akoz mwen te wè ke pèp la t ap gaye kite m, ke ou pa t vini nan jou apwente a, e ke Filisten yo t ap rasanble nan Micmasch,
12 therefore said I: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favour of the LORD; I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering.'
pou sa, mwen te di: ‘Alò Filisten yo va vin desann kont mwen Guilgal, epi mwen poko mande favè SENYÈ a.’ Pou sa, mwen te fòse mwen menm pou te ofri ofrann brile yo.”
13 And Samuel said to Saul: 'Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which He commanded thee; for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
Samuel te di a Saül: “Ou te aji nan foli. Ou pa t kenbe kòmandman ke SENYÈ a te kòmande ou a. Paske SENYÈ a t ap vin etabli wayòm ou a sou Israël jis pou tout tan.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue; the LORD hath sought him a man after His own heart, and the LORD hath appointed him to be prince over His people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.'
Men koulye a, wayòm ou an p ap dire. SENYÈ a te chache pou kont Li yon nonm selon pwòp kè li e SENYÈ a te chwazi li kòm chèf sou pèp Li a, akoz ou pa t kenbe sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande ou a.”
15 And Samuel arose, and got him up from Gilgal unto Gibeath-benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
Epi Samuel te leve monte soti Guilgal pou rive Guibea nan Benjamin. Saül te konte moun ki te prezan avè l yo, yo te anviwon sis-san mesye.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeath-benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmas.
Alò Saül avèk fis li a, Jonathan avèk moun ki te prezan avèk yo te rete Guéba nan Benjamin pandan Filisten yo te fè kan Micmasch.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;
Epi ravajè yo te sòti nan kan Filisten yo an twa konpayi yo. Yon konpayi te vire nan sid vè Ophra vè peyi Schual.
18 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looketh down upon the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
Yon lòt konpayi te vire vè Beth-Horon, e yon lòt konpayi te vire vè lizyè ki kouri anwo vale a nan Tseboïm vè dezè a.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said: 'Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears';
Alò, nanpwen bòs fòjewon ki ta kab twouve nan tout peyi Israël la, paske Filisten yo te di: “Otreman Ebre yo va fè nepe yo oswa frenn yo.”
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
Konsa, tout Israël te desann vè Filisten yo, yo chak pou file pwòp cha li, pikwa li, rach li, ak wou li.
21 And the price of the filing was a pim for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks with three teeth, and for the axes; and to set the goads.
Frè sèvis la te de tyè sik pou lam cha a, pou pikwa a, fochèt la, rach la e pou ranje wou yo.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
Konsa sa te rive ke nan jou batay la ke ni nepe, ni fwenn pa t twouve nan men a okenn nan moun ki te avèk Saül ak Jonathan yo. Men yo te twouve sèlman nan men Saül ak Jonathan.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out unto the pass of Michmas.
Epi ekip post militè a Filisten yo te sòti rive nan pasaj Micmasch.
