Judges 7
1 And Jerobaal rose early, the same is Gedeon, and all the people with him, and encamped at the fountain of Arad; and the camp of Madiam was to the north of him, [reaching] from Gabaathamorai, in the valley.
Epi Jerubbaal (sa vle di Gédéon) avèk tout pèp ki te avèk li a te leve granmmaten e te fè kan an kote sous Harod la. Kan Madian an te vè nò de yo menm, akote ti mòn Moreh nan vale a.
2 And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people with you [are] many, so that I may not deliver Madiam into their hand, lest at any time Israel boast against me, saying, My hand has saved me.
SENYÈ a te di a Gédéon: “Pèp la ki avèk ou a twòp pou M ta delivre Madian nan men yo, paske Israël ta vin ògeye, e di: ‘Se pouvwa mwen ki delivre mwen.’
3 And now speak in the ears of the people, saying, Who [is] afraid and fearful? let him turn and depart from mount Galaad: and there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and ten thousand were left.
Pou sa, vin pwoklame nan zòrèy a tout pèp la, e di: ‘Nenpòt moun ki gen lakrent e k ap tranble, ke li retounen sòti nan Mòn Galaad.’” Konsa, venn-de-mil moun te retounen; men te gen di-mil moun ki te rete.
4 And the Lord said to Gedeon, The people is yet numerous; bring them down to the water, and I will purge them there for you: and it shall come to pass that of whoever I shall say to you, This one shall go with you, [even] he shall go with you; and of whoever I shall say to you, This one shall not go with you, [even] he shall not go with you.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Gédéon: “Pèp la twòp toujou. Mennen yo desann kote dlo a, e Mwen va pase yo a leprèv pou ou la. Konsa li va ye ke si M di ou: ‘Sila a prale avè w’, l ap prale; men a tout sila ke M di w: ‘Sila a pa prale’, li pa prale.”
5 And he brought the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gedeon, Whosoever shall lap of the water with his tongue as if a dog should lap, you shall set him apart, and [also] whoever shall bow down upon his knees to drink.
Konsa, li te mennen pèp la desann vè dlo a. Epi SENYÈ a te di a Gédéon: “Ou va separe tout sila ki lape dlo a avèk lang yo tankou chen ak, anplis sila ki mete kò l ajenou pou bwè yo.”
6 And the number of those that lapped with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people bowed upon their knees to drink water.
Alò, kantite a sila ki te lape dlo a, ki pa rale l nan men yo pou rive nan bouch yo se te twa-san lòm, e rès yo te mete yo ajenou pou bwè.
7 And the Lord said to Gedeon, I will save you by the three hundred men that lapped, and I will give Madiam into your hand; and all the [rest of the] people shall go every one to his place.
SENYÈ a te di a Gédéon: “Mwen va delivre nou avèk twa-san lòm sila ki te lape dlo yo e yo va mete Madyanit yo nan men nou. Pou sa, kite tout lòt moun yo ale, tout moun rive lakay yo.”
8 And they took the provision of the people in their hand, and their horns; and he sent away every man of Israel each to his tent, and he strengthened the three hundred; and the army of Madiam were beneath him in the valley.
Konsa, twa-san lòm te pran pwovizyon a pèp la, avèk twonpèt pa yo nan men yo. Epi Gédéon te voye tout lòt mesye Israël yo chak nan pwòp tant pa yo, men te kenbe twa-san mesyè yo. Kan Madian an te anba nan vale a.
9 And it came to pass in that night that the Lord said to him, Arise, go down into the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
Alò, menm nwit lan, li te vin rive ke SENYÈ a te vin di li: “Leve, desann nan kan an, paske mwen te livre li nan men ou.
10 And if you are afraid to go down, go down you and your servant Phara into the camp.
Men si ou pè desann, ale avèk Pura, sèvitè ou a, anba nan kan an.
11 And you shall hear what they shall say, and afterwards your hands shall be strong, and you shall go down into the camp: and he went down and Phara his servant to the extremity of the [companies of] fifty, which were in the camp.
Ou va tande kisa yo di: apre sa, men w ap vin fò pou ou kapab desann kont kan an.” Konsa, li te ale avèk Pura, sèvitè li a, anba kote avan-gad a lame ki te nan kan yo.
12 And Madiam and Amalec and all the children of the east [were] scattered in the valley, as the locust for multitude; and there was no number to their camels, but they were as the sand on the seashore for multitude.
Alò, Madyanit yo avèk Amalekit yo ak tout fis a lès la, te kouche nan vale a. Yo te plis an kantite pase krikèt volan, epi chamo pa yo te twòp pou konte, an gran nonb tankou grenn sab bò lanmè a.
13 And Gedeon came, and behold a man [was] relating to his neighbor a dream, and he said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread rolling into the camp of Madiam, and it came as far as a tent, and struck it, and it fell, and it turned it up, and the tent fell.
Lè Gédéon te rive, veye byen, yon nonm t ap revele yon rèv a zanmi li. Li t ap di: “Gade byen, mwen te fè yon rèv; yon mòso pen lòj te tonbe antre nan kan Madian an. Li te rive nan tant lan, li te frape li pou l te tonbe, e, konsa, li te vire l tèt anba pou l kouche plat.”
14 And his neighbor answered and said, This is none other than the sword of Gedeon, son of Joas, a man of Israel: God has delivered Madiam and all the host into his hand.
Zanmi li an te reponn: “Sa se pa anyen mwens ke nepe a Gédéon an, fis a Joas la, yon nonm de Israël. Bondye te mete Madian avèk tout kan an nan men li.”
15 And it came to pass when Gedeon heard the account of the dream and the interpretation of it, that he worshipped the Lord, and returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Rise, for the Lord has delivered the camp of Madiam into our hand.
Lè Gédéon te tande afè rèv la ak entèpretasyon li, li te bese an adorasyon. Li te retounen nan kan Israël la, e li te di: “Leve, paske SENYÈ a gen tan mete kan Madian an nan men nou.”
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and put horns in the hands of all, and empty pitchers, and torches in the pitchers:
Li te divize twa-san lòm yo an twa konpayi, e li te mete twonpèt yo avèk krich vid yo nan men yo tout, avèk tòch yo anndan krich yo.
17 and he said to them, You shall look at me, and so shall you do; and behold, I will go into the beginning of the host, and it shall come to pass [that] as I do, so shall you do.
Li te di yo: “Gade mwen, e fè menm bagay la. Epi veye byen, lè m rive kote bò kan an, fè menm sa ke m fè a.
18 And I will sound with the horn, and all you with me shall sound with the horn round about the whole camp, and you shall say, For the Lord and Gedeon.
Lè mwen avèk tout sila ki avè m yo soufle twonpèt la, alò, nou, osi, nou va soufle twonpèt yo toutotou kan an, e nou va di: ‘Pou SENYÈ a e pou Gédéon.’”
19 And Gedeon and the hundred men that were with him came to the extremity of the army in the beginning of the middle watch; and they completely roused the guards, and sounded with the horns, and they broke the pitchers that were in their hands,
Konsa, Gédéon avèk san mesyè ki te avèk li yo te rive bò kan an, nan kòmansman premye ve a, lè yo te fenk plase gad yo. Konsa, yo te soufle twonpèt la e te kraze krich ki te nan men yo.
20 and the three companies sounded with the horns, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and in their right hands their horns to sound with; and they cried out, A sword for the Lord and for Gedeon.
Lè twa konpayi yo te soufle twonpèt yo e kraze krich yo, yo te kenbe tòch yo nan men goch avèk twonpèt yo nan men dwat pou soufle, e yo te kriye fò: “Yon nepe pou SENYÈ a ak pou Gédéon!”
21 And [every] man stood in his place round about the host; and all the host ran, and sounded [an alarm], and fled.
Tout moun te kanpe nan plas li ki te antoure kan an, epi tout lame a te sove ale. Yo te kriye fò e yo te pran flit.
22 And they sounded with the three hundred horns; and the Lord set [every] man's sword in all the host against his neighbor.
Lè yo te soufle twa-san twonpèt yo, SENYÈ a te mete nepe a youn kont lòt e kont tout lanmè a nèt. Konsa, lame a te sove ale jis rive nan Beth-Schitta anvè Tseréra, jis rive nan Abel-Mehola akote Tabath.
23 And the host fled as far as Bethseed Tagaragatha Abel-meula to Tabath; and the men of Israel from Nephthali, and from Aser, and from all Manasse, came to help, and followed after Madiam.
Mesye Israël yo te rasanble sòti jis Nephtali avèk Aser ak tout Manassé, epi yo te kouri dèyè Madian.
24 And Gedeon sent messengers into all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down to meet Madiam, and take to yourselves the water as far as Baethera and Jordan: and every man of Ephraim cried out, and they took the water before hand to Baethera and Jordan.
Gédéon te voye mesaje toupatou nan peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo. Li te di: “Vin desann kont Madian e pran dlo devan yo jis rive nan Beth-Bara avèk rivyè Jourdain an!”
25 And they took the princess of Madiam, even Oreb and Zeb; and they killed Oreb in Sur Oreb, and they killed Zeb in Jakephzeph; and they pursued Madiam, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeb to Gedeon from beyond Jordan.
Yo te kaptire de chèf dirijan a Madian yo, Oreb avèk Zeeb. Yo te touye Oreb nan wòch Oreb la, e yo te touye Zeeb nan pez divin Zeeb la, pandan yo t ap kouri dèyè Madian. Konsa, yo te pote tèt a Oreb avèk Zeeb bay Gédéon soti lòtbò Jourdain an.
