1 Samuel 4
1 And Samuel's words came to all Israel. And Eli grew very old, and his sons kept advancing in their wicked behavior before the LORD. And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered themselves together against Israel. And Israel went out to meet them in battle, and camped beside Ebenezer, and the Philistines camped in Aphek.
Konsa, pawòl a Samuel te rive a tout Israël. Alò, Israël te sòti pou rankontre Filisten yo nan batay. Yo te fè kan akote Ében-Ézer pandan Filisten yo te rete Aphek.
2 The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was struck before the Philistines; and they killed of the army in the field about four thousand men.
Filisten yo te parèt nan ranje batay yo pou rankontre Israël. Lè batay la te gaye, Israël te vin bat devan Filisten yo ki te touye anviwon kat-mil òm sou chan batay la.
3 When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD struck us today before the Philistines? Let us get the ark of the LORD out of Shiloh to us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies."
Lè pèp la te antre nan kan an, ansyen a Israël yo te di: “Poukisa SENYÈ a bat nou konsa jodi a devan Filisten yo? Annou pran pou nou menm lach akò a pou l soti Silo. Konsa, li kapab vini pami nou e livre nou sòti anba pouvwa lènmi nou yo.”
4 So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from there the ark of the LORD, who sits above the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of God.
Epi pèp la te voye Silo e soti la, yo te pote lach akò SENYÈ dèzame a, ki chita anwo cheriben yo. Epi de fis a Éli yo: Hophni avèk Phinées, te la avèk lach akò Bondye a.
5 When the ark of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
Pandan lach akò SENYÈ a te antre nan kan an, tout Israël te kriye avèk yon gwo kri, jiskaske tè a te vin sone.
6 When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, "What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?" They understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.
Lè Filisten yo te tande gwo kri sila a, yo te di: “Kisa sa vle di? Gwo kri sila a nan kan Ebre yo?” Epi yo te vin konprann ke lach SENYÈ a te antre nan kan an.
7 The Philistines were afraid, for they said, "Gods have come into the camp." They said, "Woe to us. For there has not been such a thing before.
Filisten yo te krent, paske yo te di: “Bondye vin antre nan kan an.” Konsa, yo te di: “Malè a nou menm! Paske anyen parèy a sa pa t konn fèt avan.
8 Woe to us. Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
Malè a nou menm! Kilès k ap delivre nou nan men a dye pwisan sa yo? Sila yo se dye ki te frape Ejipsyen yo avèk tout kalite fleyo nan dezè a.
9 Be strong, and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight."
Pran kouraj e mete gason sou nou, O Filisten yo, oswa nou va devni esklav a Ebre yo jis jan ke yo te esklav nou an. Pou sa, mete gason sou nou pou nou goumen!”
10 So they fought, and Israel was defeated, and they fled every man to his tent. And there was a very great slaughter, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
Konsa, Filisten yo te goumen e Israël te bat. Tout mesye yo te sove ale rive nan pwòp tant yo. Masak la te byen gwo, e te vin tonbe an Israël trant-mil sòlda a pye.
11 The ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
Anplis, lach Bondye a te sezi pran; epi de fis Éli yo, Hophni avèk Phinées te mouri.
12 There ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with earth on his head.
Konsa yon mesye a Benjamin te kouri sòti nan chan batay yo pou te parèt Silo nan menm jou a avèk rad li chire ak pousyè sou figi li.
13 When he came, look, Eli was sitting on his seat by the side of the gate watching the road, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. When the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
Lè li te vini, vwala, Éli te chita sou chèz li akote wout la pou veye tann, akoz kè li t ap tranble pou lach SENYÈ a. Konsa, mesye a te vin pale sa nan vil la e tout vil la te kriye fò.
14 When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, "What does the noise of this tumult mean?" The man hurried, and came and told Eli.
Lè Éli te tande bri kriye a, li te di: “Kisa bri kriye sa a vle di?” Epi mesye a te vini avèk vitès e li te pale Éli.
15 Now Eli was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were set, so that he could not see.
Alò, Éli te gen laj a katrevendizuit ane, zye li te fikse epi li pa t kab wè.
16 The man said to Eli, "I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army." He said, "How did the matter go, my son?"
Mesye a te di a Éli: “Mwen se sila ki te sòti nan chan batay la. Vrèman, mwen te chape sòti nan chan batay la jodi a.” Epi Éli te mande: “Kijan tout bagay te mache, fis mwen?”
17 He who brought the news answered, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God has been captured."
Konsa, sila ki te pote nouvèl la te reponn: “Israël te sove ale devan Filisten yo, e te genyen osi, yon gwo masak pami pèp la. Anplis, de fis ou yo, Hophni avèk Phinées mouri, e lach Bondye a te kaptire.”
18 It happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died; for he was an old man, and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
“Lè li te mansyone lach Bondye a, Éli te tonbe sou chèz li pa dèyè akote pòtay la. Kou li te kase, e li te mouri, paske li te fin granmoun e li te gra.” Konsa, li te jije Israël pandan karant ane.
19 His daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered. When she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.
Alò, bèlfi li, madanm a Phinées te ansent e prèt pou akouche. Lè li te tande nouvèl ke lach Bondye a te pran an kaptivite e ke bòpè li avèk mari li te mouri, li te bese sou jenou li e te akouche, paske doulè li te vin rive sou li.
20 When her time came, she was abount to die, and the women who stood by her said to her, "Do not be afraid; for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer, neither did she regard it.
Epi nan lè li t ap mouri an, fanm ki te kanpe akote li a te di li: “Pa pè, paske ou te bay nesans a yon fis.” Men li pa t reponn li ni li pa t okipe li.
21 And she named the boy Ichabod, because of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
Konsa, li te rele gason an I-Kabod, e te di: “Laglwa Israël pati!” akoz lach Bondye a te pran an kaptivite e akoz bòpè li avèk mari li.
22 She said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured."
Li te di: “Laglwa gen tan pati soti an Israël; paske lach Bondye a te pran an kaptivite.”
