Judges 7
1 Then Yerubba'al, who is Gid'on, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Charod; and the camp of the Midianites was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, 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 unto Gid'on, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand: lest Israel should vaunt themselves against me, saying, my own hand hath 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 Now therefore, do proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gil'ad. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and ten thousand remained.
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 unto Gid'on, The people are yet too many; let them go down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I will say unto thee, This one shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoever I will say unto thee, This one shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
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 So he caused the people to go down unto the water: and the Lord said unto Gid'on, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as the dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that bendeth 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, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bent down 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 unto Gid'on, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the other people go every man unto 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 cornets; and all the rest of Israel he dismissed, every man unto his tent; but those three hundred men he retained: and the camp of Midian was 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, during the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy 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 thou fear to go down, then go thou down with Purah thy servant to the camp.
Men si ou pè desann, ale avèk Pura, sèvitè ou a, anba nan kan an.
11 And thou shalt hear what they will say; and after that shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou wilt go down unto the camp. And he went down with Purah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that 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 the Midianites and the 'Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like the locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is by the seaside 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 when Gid'on was come, behold, a man was telling a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and, lo, a baked cake of barley bread was rolling round through the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and struck against it so that it fell, and it turned it bottom upward, and the tent thus tumbled down.
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 fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gid'on the son of Joash, a man of Israel; into whose hand God hath delivered Midian, and the whole camp.
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 was, when Gid'on heard the narration of the dream, and its interpretation, that he prostrated himself, and returned unto the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the camp of Midian.
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 he put cornets in the hand of all of them, with 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 unto them, What you see me do, do ye likewise; and, behold, when I am come to the edge of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye 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 When I blow the cornet, I and all that are with me, then shall ye blow the cornets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For the Lord, and for Gid'on.
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 Gid'on, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the edge of the camp in the bcginning of the middle watch; when they had but newly set the sentinels: and they blew the cornets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hand.
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 blew the cornets, and broke the pitchers, and seized with their left hand the torches, and with their right hand the cornets to blow; and they cried, The sword for the Lord, and for Gid'on.
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 they remained standing every man in his place round about the camp; and all [in] the camp ran, and shouted, 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 as the three hundred cornets sounded, the Lord set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the camp; and [those in] the camp fled as far as Beth-hashittah to Zererah, up to the border of Abelmecholah, near Tabbath.
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 men of Israel were called together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Menasseh, and they pursued after the Midianites.
Mesye Israël yo te rasanble sòti jis Nephtali avèk Aser ak tout Manassé, epi yo te kouri dèyè Madian.
24 And Gid'on sent messengers throughout all the mountain of Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and seize from them the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan. And all the men of Ephraim assembled themselves, and seized on the waters as far as Beth-barah and the 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 captured two princes of the Midianites, 'Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew 'Oreb upon the rock 'Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued the Midianites; and the heads of 'Oreb and Zeeb they brought to Gid'on from the other side of the 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.
