Judges 7
1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people who were with him, rose up early, and camped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Jewoubaal, ki vle di Jedeyon, leve granmaten ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo, y' al moute kan yo bò Sous Awòd la. Moun Madyan yo menm te moute kan pa yo nan tout plenn lan, nan pye mòn More, sou bò nò kan Jedeyon an.
2 The LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'
Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Ou gen twòp moun avè ou pou m' kite ou kraze moun Madyan yo! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va mete nan tèt yo se yo menm ak pwòp fòs kouraj yo ki delivre peyi yo a, yo p'ap vle kwè se mwen menm ki fè sa pou yo.
3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, 'Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.' There returned of the people twenty-two thousand; but ten thousand remained.
Koulye a, pale ak tout pèp la. Di yo konsa: Si gen moun ki pè, k'ap tranble, yo mèt al fè wout yo lakay yo, kite nou sou mòn Gilboa a. Se konsa venndemil (22.000) moun al lakay yo. Te rete dimil (10.000).
4 The LORD said to Gideon, "The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for you there: and it shall be, that of whom I tell you, This shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whoever I tell you, This shall not go with you, the same shall not go.
Seyè a di Jedeyon ankò: -Gen twòp moun toujou. Fè yo tout desann bò larivyè a. M'a separe yo la pou ou. Moun m'a di ou ki pou ale avè ou yo va ale. Moun m'a di ou ki pa pou ale avè ou yo va rete.
5 So he brought down the people to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps of the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall put to one side; and everyone who gets down on his knees to drink with hand to mouth shall be on the other side."
Jedeyon fè tout mesye yo desann bò larivyè a. Epi Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Tout moun w'a wè k'ap lape dlo tankou chen, w'a mete yo yon bò, tout moun w'a wè ki va kwoupi pou bwè dlo, w'a mete yo yon lòt bò.
6 The number of those who lapped with their tongues was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
Te gen twasan (300) gason ki te pran dlo nan pla men yo epi ki t'ap lape dlo a. Tout rès yo te kwoupi pou bwè dlo.
7 The LORD said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand; and let all the people go every man to his home."
Seyè a di Jedeyon! -Se avèk twasan nèg sa yo ou wè ki te lape dlo a mwen pral delivre nou. Mwen pral lage moun Madyan yo nan men ou. Kite tout lòt yo ale lakay yo.
8 So the people took food in their hand, and their trumpets; and he sent all the men of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Yo pran tout pwovizyon lòt moun yo te genyen ansanm ak twonpèt yo, yo kenbe yo pou yo. Lèfini, Jedeyon voye tout rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale lakay yo. Li fè twasan (300) moun yo rete ak li sou mòn lan. Moun Madyan yo menm te anba nan plenn lan.
9 It happened the same night, that the LORD said to him, "Arise, get down into the camp; for I have delivered it into your hand.
Jou lannwit sa a, Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Leve non! Desann al atake kan moun Madyan yo. Mwen lage yo nan men ou.
10 But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp:
Men si ou pè atake, desann bò kan moun Madyan yo ansanm ak Poura, domestik ou a.
11 and you shall hear what they say; and afterward will your hands be strengthened to go down into the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outermost part of the armed men who were in the camp.
W'a tande sa y'ap di. Lè sa a, w'a pran kouraj epi w'a desann al atake yo. Se konsa Jedeyon desann ansanm ak Poura, domestik li a, li rive toupre avanpòs kan an.
12 And Midian, Amalek, and all the Kedemites lay along in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand which is on the seashore.
Moun Madyan yo, moun Amalèk yo ak moun k'ap viv nan dezè bò solèy leve yo te kouvri tout plenn lan, tankou desen krikèt vèt nan jaden. Chamo yo te genyen, moun pa t' ka konte sa, menm jan yo pa ka konte grenn sab bò lanmè.
13 When Gideon had come, look, there was a man telling a dream to his friend; and he said, "Look, I had a dream, and look, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came to the tent, and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent collapsed."
Lè Jedeyon rive, li jwenn yon nonm ki t'ap rakonte yon zanmi l' yon rèv li te fè. Li t'ap di l' konsa: -Monchè, mwen fè yon rèv: Mwen wè yon pen won fèt ak farin lòj ki t'ap woule nan mitan kan an. Epi li rive, l' al frape sou tant lan. Tant lan chavire, li tonbe plat atè.
14 His friend answered, "This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has delivered Midian, and all the army."
Zanmi an reponn li: -Boul pen won an, se nepe Jedeyon, pitit Joas la, nonm pèp Izrayèl la. Sa pa vle di lòt bagay! Bondye lage moun Madyan yo ak tout lame a nan men l'.
15 It was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and its interpretation, that he worshiped, and he returned into the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for the LORD has delivered into your hand the army of Midian."
Lè Jedeyon tande rèv la ak esplikasyon yo ba li a, li lage kò l' atè devan Bondye. Apre sa, li leve, li tounen nan kan moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li di yo: -Ann ale! Seyè a lage kan moun Madyan yo nan men nou.
16 He divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers.
Li pran twasan mesye yo, li fè twa gwoup. Li bay chak moun yon twonpèt ak yon krich vid. Lèfini, li ba yo chak yon bwa chandèl pou mete nan krich la.
17 He said to them, "Look at me, and do likewise. And look, when I come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so you shall do.
Epi li di yo: -Se pou tout moun gade sou mwen pou wè sa m'ap fè. Lè n'a rive toupre kan an, tou sa n'a wè m' fè, n'a fè l' tou.
18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, "For the LORD and for Gideon."
N'a fè wonn kan an. Lè m'a kònen twonpèt ansanm ak tout moun ki avè m' yo, nou menm tou n'a kònen twonpèt. Epi n'a rele: Annavan pou Seyè a ak pou Jedeyon!
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands.
Lè Jedeyon rive toupre kan an ansanm ak san moun ki te avè l' yo, li te prèt pou menwit. Yo te fenk chanje faksyonnè. Yo pran kònen twonpèt yo epi yo kraze krich yo te gen nan men yo.
20 The three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands with which to blow; and they called out, "The sword of the LORD and of Gideon.'"
Tou twa gwoup moun yo pran kònen twonpèt ansanm epi yo kraze krich yo. Yo kenbe bwa chandèl yo nan men gòch yo, twonpèt yo nan men dwat yo pou yo ka kònen yo, epi yo rele: -Ann al goumen pou Seyè a ak pou Jedeyon!
21 They each stood in his place every man around the camp; and all the army ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight.
Yo te kanpe fè wonn kan an, chak moun nan plas yo. Lè sa a tout moun nan kan an pran kouri met deyò, yo t'ap rele byen fò.
22 They blew the three hundred trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against each other throughout the camp; and the army fled as far as Beth Shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.
Antan twasan moun Jedeyon yo t'ap kònen twonpèt yo, Seyè a menm t'ap fè moun Madyan yo yonn ap goumen ak lòt. Sa ki chape yo pran kouri nan direksyon Bèt-Chita bò Serera rive jouk bò lavil Abèl Meola, toupre Tabat.
23 The men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after Midian.
Lè sa a yo rele tout gason nan branch fanmi Neftali a, nan branch fanmi Asè a ak nan tout branch fanmi Manase a, epi yo pran kouri dèyè moun Madyan yo.
24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian, and capture the waters, as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and seized the waters as far as Beth Barah, even the Jordan.
Jedeyon menm voye mesaje nan tout mòn Efrayim yo pou di mesye yo: -Desann, vin goumen ak moun Madyan yo. Al bare yo bò dlo a sou tout longè larivyè Jouden an jouk Bèt-Bara pou anpeche yo pase. Tout moun Efrayim yo reyini vre. Epi y' al bare wout la sou bò dlo a sou tout longè larivyè Jouden an jouk Bèt-Bara.
25 They took the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian. Then they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyond the Jordan.
Yo mete men sou Orèb ak Zeyèb, de nan chèf moun Madyan yo. Yo touye Orèb sou Wòch Orèb la, Zeyèb nan basen rezen Zeyèb la. Apre sa, yo kouri toujou dèyè moun Madyan yo. Lèfini, yo pote tèt Orèb ak tèt Zeyèb bay Jedeyon ki te sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden an.
