1 Samuel 7
1 And the men of Kirjath-Jearim come and bring up the Ark of YHWH, and bring it into the house of Abinadab, in the height, and they have sanctified his son Eleazar to keep the Ark of YHWH.
Se konsa moun lavil Kiriyat Jearim yo vin pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a. Yo mete l' lakay Abinadad, sou tèt yon ti mòn. Yo chwazi Eleaza, pitit gason Abinadad la, pou okipe Bwat Kontra Seyè a.
2 And it comes to pass, from the day of the dwelling of the Ark in Kirjath-Jearim, that the days are multiplied—indeed, they are twenty years—and all the house of Israel wails after YHWH.
Bwat Kontra Seyè a te rete yon bon tan lavil Kiriyat-Jearim. Li te pase ventan la. Pandan tout tan sa a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap rele nan pye Seyè a pou mande l' sekou.
3 And Samuel speaks to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are turning back to YHWH with all your heart—turn aside the gods of the stranger from your midst, and Ashtaroth; and prepare your heart for YHWH, and serve Him only, and He delivers you out of the hand of the Philistines.”
Samyèl pale ak tout pèp la, li di yo konsa: -Si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a ak tout kè nou vre, se pou nou wete tout bondye moun lòt nasyon yo ak tout pòtre metrès Astate yo nan mitan nou. Viv pou Seyè a sèlman, se li menm ase pou nou sèvi. Lè sa a l'a delivre nou anba men moun Filisti yo.
4 And the sons of Israel turn aside the Ba‘alim and Ashtaroth, and serve YHWH alone;
Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo wete tout estati bondye Baal ak metrès Astate yo nan mitan yo. Yo pran sèvi Seyè a sèlman.
5 and Samuel says, “Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I pray to YHWH for you.”
Apre sa, Samyèl di yo: -Sanble tout pèp Izrayèl la lavil Mispa, m'a lapriyè Seyè a la pou nou.
6 And they are gathered to Mizpeh, and draw water, and pour out before YHWH, and fast on that day, and say there, “We have sinned against YHWH”; and Samuel judges the sons of Israel in Mizpeh.
Se konsa yo tout sanble lavil Mispa. Yo tire dlo, yo vide l' atè tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Jou sa a, yo rete san manje. Epi yo di: -Nou peche kont Seyè a! Samyèl te rete lavil Mispa, se la li te konn regle tout bagay pou pèp Izrayèl la.
7 And the Philistines hear that the sons of Israel have gathered themselves to Mizpeh; and the princes of the Philistines go up against Israel, and the sons of Israel hear, and are afraid of the presence of the Philistines.
Lè moun Filisti yo vin konnen pèp Izrayèl la te sanble lavil Mispa, senk chèf moun Filisti yo moute al atake yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tande sa, yo te pè.
8 And the sons of Israel say to Samuel, “Do not keep silent for us from crying to our God YHWH, and He saves us out of the hand of the Philistines.”
Epi yo di Samyèl: -Pa sispann lapriyè Seyè a pou nou, pou l' ka sove nou anba men moun Filisti yo.
9 And Samuel takes a fat lamb, and causes it to go up—a whole burnt-offering to YHWH; and Samuel cries to YHWH for Israel, and YHWH answers him;
Samyèl pran yon ti mouton dèyè manman, li boule l' nèt, li ofri l' bay Seyè a. Lèfini, Samyèl lapriyè Seyè a pou l' vin ede pèp Izrayèl la. Seyè a reponn lapriyè a.
10 and Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up—and the Philistines have drawn near to battle against Israel—and YHWH thunders with a great noise, on that day, on the Philistines, and troubles them, and they are struck before Israel.
Pandan Samyèl t'ap boule ofrann lan, moun Filisti yo mache sou pèp Izrayèl la vin atake yo. Men lè sa a, Seyè a voye yon kout loraj sou moun Filisti yo. Moun Filisti yo pèdi tèt yo, yo pran kouri met deyò devan pèp Izrayèl la.
11 And the men of Israel go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the Philistines, and strike them to the place of Beth-Car.
Moun Izrayèl yo soti lavil Mispa, yo pran kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo jouk rive toupre lavil Bètka. Sou tout wout la yo bat yo byen bat.
12 And Samuel takes a stone, and sets [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and calls its name Eben-Ezer, saying, “Until now YHWH has helped us.”
Lè sa a, Samyèl pran yon wòch, li mete l' ant lavil Mispa ak lavil Chenn. Li rele wòch la Ebenezè, paske li t'ap di: Jouk jòdi a se Seyè a ki pote nou sekou.
13 And the Philistines are humbled, and have not added anymore to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of YHWH is on the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Se konsa moun Filisti yo te pèdi batay la nèt. Yo pa janm rekonmanse anvayi teritwa moun Izrayèl yo ankò. Seyè a te kenbe yo anba men l' pandan tout tan Samyèl te vivan.
14 And the cities which the Philistines have taken from Israel are restored to Israel—from Ekron even to Gath—and Israel has delivered their border out of the hand of the Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite.
Tout lavil moun Filisti yo te pran, depi lavil Ekwon jouk lavil Gat, tout te tounen nan men moun Izrayèl yo ankò. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la te mete moun Filisti yo deyò sou tout teritwa ki te pou yo. Epitou pa t' gen lagè menm ant moun Izrayèl yo ak moun Amori yo.
15 And Samuel judges Israel all the days of his life,
Samyèl gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la jouk li mouri.
16 and he has gone from year to year, and gone around Beth-El, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these places;
Chak lanne li te fè vizit nan tout peyi a, li pase lavil Betèl, lavil Gilgal ak lavil Mispa. Nan tout lavil yo, li te konn regle tout kont moun yo te gen yonn ak lòt.
17 and his returning [is] to Ramath, for his house [is] there, and he has judged Israel there, and he builds an altar to YHWH there.
Apre sa, li tounen lakay li lavil Rama kote li te konn regle zafè pou pèp Izrayèl la tou. Li te bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a lavil Rama.
