Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which Yhwh left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Alò, sila yo se nasyon ke SENYÈ a te kite pou sèvi kòm eprèv pou Israëlit yo ki potko konn fè lagè avèk Kananeyen yo.
2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
Konsa li ta rive ke jenerasyon a fis Israël ki pa t kon fè lagè, ta kapab enstwi.
3 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal–hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
Nasyon sa yo se: senk prens nan nasyon Filisten yo, tout Kananeyen yo, Sidonyen yo ak Evyen ki te rete nan Mòn Liban yo, soti nan Mòn Baal-Hermon, jis rive nan Lebo-Hamath.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of Yhwh, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Yo te pou pase a leprèv Israël, pou dekouvri si yo ta obeyi kòmand ke SENYÈ a te kòmande zansèt yo pa Moïse.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Fis Israël yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, Etyen ak Jebizyen yo, Amoreyen yo, Ferezyen yo ak Evyen yo.
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Yo te pran fi pa yo pou yo menm kòm madanm, yo te bay pwòp fi yo a fis pa yo, e yo te sèvi dye pa yo.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Yhwh, and forgat Yhwh their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
Fis Israël yo te fè sa ki te mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, e yo te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a pou te sèvi Baal avèk Aseroth yo.
8 Therefore the anger of Yhwh was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan–rishathaim eight years.
Alò, lakòlè SENYÈ a te limen kont Israël jiskaske Li te vann yo nan men a Cuschan-Rischeathaïm, wa Mésopotamie a. Konsa, fis Israël yo te sèvi Cuschan-Rischeathaïm pandan uit ane.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto Yhwh, Yhwh raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Lè fis Israël yo te vin kriye fò a SENYÈ a, SENYÈ a te fè leve yon liberatè pou delivre yo, Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, ti frè a Caleb la.
10 And the Spirit of Yhwh came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: And Yhwh delivered Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan–rishathaim.
Lespri SENYÈ a te vini sou li pou li te jije Israël lè li te sòti pou fè lagè. SENYÈ a te livre Cuschan-Rischeathaïm, wa Mésopotamie an, nan men l, e li te vin genyen sou Cuschan-Rischeathaïm.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Alò, peyi a te vin gen repo pandan karant ane, men Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, te vin mouri.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of Yhwh: And Yhwh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of Yhwh.
Alò, fis Israël yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a ankò. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te ranfòse Églon, wa Moab la, kont Israël, akoz yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
Li te ranmase a li menm fis a Ammon yo, avèk Amalek. Konsa, li te ale bat Israël pou yo te posede vil pye palmis yo.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Fis Israël yo te sèvi Églon, wa Moab la, pandan dizuit ane.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto Yhwh, Yhwh raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
Men lè fis Israël yo te vin kriye fò bay SENYÈ a, SENYÈ a te fè leve yon liberatè pou yo, Éhud, fis a Guéra a, Benjamit lan, yon nonm goche. Konsa, pa li menm, fis a Israël yo te voye kòb angajman yo bay Églon, wa Moab la.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Éhud te fè pou kont li yon nepe avèk lam file de bò, yon koude nan longè e li te mare li nan kwis dwat li, anba manto li.
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
Li te prezante kòb angajman an bay Églon, wa Moab la. Alò, Églon te yon mesye byen gra.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
Li te vin rive ke lè li te fin prezante kòb la, li te fè moun pa l yo ki te pote don an sòti.
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
Men li menm te vire sòti kote zidòl ki te Guilgal yo, e te di: “Mwen gen yon mesaj sekrè pou ba ou, O Wa.” Epi li menm wa a te di: “Rete an silans.” Epi tout sila ki te sèvi li yo te pati.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
Éhud te vin vè li pandan li te chita sèl nan chanm twati fre li a. Epi Éhud te di li: “Mwen gen yon mesaj ki sòti nan Bondye pou ou.” Li te leve sou chèz li a.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Konsa, Éhud te lonje men goch li, te pran nepe a soti nan kwis dwat li e te pase l nèt travèse vant li.
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
Manch lan osi te antre anndan l apre lam nan e grès te vin kouvri sou lam nan; paske li pa t retire nepe a sòti nan vant li e salte vant lan te vin sòti ladann.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
Alò, Éhud te sòti sou galeri gran chanm nan, te fèmen pòt a chanm twati dèyè li yo, e li te kadnase yo.
24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
Lè l te fin sòti, sèvitè li yo te vin gade; epi vwala, pòt a chanm twati yo te kadnase. Konsa yo te di: “L ap sèlman okipe bezwen li nan chanm fre a.”
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
Yo te tann jiskaske yo te vin twouble, men gade byen, li pa t vin ouvri pòt a chanm twati la. Pou sa, yo te pran kle a pou te louvri yo, epi gade byen, mèt yo a te tonbe atè a mouri nèt.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
Alò, Éhud te chape pandan yo te mize a. Li te pase kote zidòl yo e te chape rive Seïra.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
Li te vin rive ke lè li te parèt, li te soufle twonpèt peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo. Konsa, fis Israël yo te vin desann avè l soti nan peyi ti kolin yo, e li menm te ale devan yo.
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for Yhwh hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
Li te di yo: “Kouri dèyè yo, paske SENYÈ a gen tan livre lènmi nou yo, Moabit yo, nan men nou.” Epi yo te desann dèyè yo pou te sezi yo kote Jourdain ki anfas Moab la, e yo pa t kite pèsòn janbe.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
Yo te frape fè tonbe nan tan sa a anviwon di-mil Moabit. Yo tout te gason vanyan e fò. Nanpwen ki te chape.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
Konsa, Moab te soumèt nan jou sa a anba men Israël. Epi peyi a pa t gen boulvèsman ankò pandan katre-ven ane.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
Apre li te vin Schamgar, fis a Anath la, ki te frape fè tonbe sis-san Filisten avèk yon baton ki pou pouse bèf kabwa. Li menm tou te libere Israël.
