< Judges 15 >
1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
Men pita, pandan rekòlt ble a, Samson te vizite madanm li avèk yon jenn kabrit. Li te di: “Mwen va antre vè madanm mwen nan chanm li.” Men papa li pa t kite li antre.
2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
Papa li te di li: “Mwen te konnen ke ou te tèlman rayi li; epi pou sa, mwen te bay li a zanmi ou an. Èske pi jenn sè li a pa pi bèl pase li? Souple, kite li vin pou ou nan plas li.”
3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
Samson te di a yo: “Fwa sa a, mwen p ap gen tò anvè Filisten yo lè m fè yo mal.”
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
Samson te ale kenbe twa-san rena. Li te pran tòch yo, e te vire yo mare ke a ke, e li te mete yon tòch nan mitan chak de ke yo.
5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing grain, with the vineyards and olives.
Lè l te fin limen tòch yo, li te lage rena yo nan chan sereyal Filisten yo, e te brile pakèt sereyal yo ak ble, ansanm avèk chan rezen avèk lòt chan bwa fwi.
6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Konsa, Filisten yo te di: “Kilès ki te fè sa?” Yo te reponn: “Samson, bofi a Timnyen an, akoz li te pran madanm li pou te bay li a konpanyen li.” Pou sa, Filisten yo te monte e te brile ni madanm nan, ni papa li avèk dife.
7 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
Samson te di yo: “Akoz n ap aji konsa, mwen va vrèman pran vanjans sou nou, men apre sa, m ap sispann.”
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
Li te frape yo byen di avèk yon gwo masak; epi li te desann pou te viv nan krevas wòch la nan Étam.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Alò, Filisten yo te monte fè kan nan Juda e te vin gaye nan Léchi.
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
Mesye Juda yo te di: “Poukisa nou vin monte kont nou?” Yo te di: “Nou te monte pou mare Samson dekwa ke nou kab fè l menm bagay ke li te fè nou an.”
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
Epi twa-mil lòm Juda te desann vè krevas wòch la nan Étam, e yo te di Samson: “Èske ou pa konnen ke Filisten yo gen tout fòs sou nou? Poukisa, konsa, ou vin fè nou sa?” Epi li te di yo: “Menm jan yo te fè m nan, se konsa mwen te fè yo.”
12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
Yo te di li: “Nou te vin isit la pou mare ou pou nou kapab livre ou nan men Filisten yo.” Epi Samson te di yo: “Sèmante a mwen ke nou p ap touye mwen.”
13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Yo te di li: “Non, men nou va mare ou nèt e livre ou nan men yo; men anverite, nou p ap touye ou.” Yo te mare li avèk de kòd nèf e te mennen li monte soti nan wòch la.
14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of Yhwh came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
Lè li te rive nan Léchi, Filisten yo te rele fò pandan yo t ap rankontre li. Epi Lespri SENYÈ a te vini sou li avèk pouvwa, jiskaske kòd sou bwa li yo te vin tankou pay len ki brile ak dife e kòd yo te tonbe sòti nan men li.
15 And he found a new jawbone of a donkey, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
Li te twouve yon zo a machwè bourik fre. Konsa, li te lonje pran l e li te touye mil lòm avèk li.
16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of a donkey have I slain a thousand men.
Alò, Samson te di: “Avèk machwè a yon bourik, pil sou pil; avèk machwè a yon bourik, mwen te touye yon milye moun.”
17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath–lehi.
Lè l te fin pale, li te jete machwè a sòti nan men l; epi plas sa a te rele Ramath-Léchi.
18 And he was sore athirst, and called on Yhwh, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Alò, li te vin swaf. Li te rele a SENYÈ a e li te di: “Ou te bay delivrans pa men sèvitè Ou e, koulye a, mwen va mouri ak swaf e tonbe nan men a ensikonsi yo?”
19 But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En–hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
Men Bondye te fann kote vid ki nan Léchi a, e dlo te sòti ladann. Lè li te bwè, fòs li te retounen e li te reprann fòs. Pou sa, li te rele kote sa a En-Hakkoré, ki nan Léchi jis rive jodi a.
20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Epi li te jije Israël pandan ventan nan jou a Filisten yo.
