1 Samuel 10
1 Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of the LORD, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.
Konsa, Samuel te pran poban lwil la. Li te vide li sou tèt li. Li te bo li e te di: “Èske SENYÈ a pa t onksyone ou kòm prens sou eritaj Li a?
2 When you have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'
Lè ou kite mwen jodi a, alò ou va jwenn de moun toupre tonm Rachel la, nan teritwa Benjamin nan Tseltsach. Yo va di ou: ‘Bourik ke ou t ap chache yo gen tan twouve. Alò, gade byen, papa ou pa twouble tèt li ankò sou bourik yo, men li twouble pou ou menm. L ap mande: “Kisa mwen va fè konsènan pitit mwen an?”’”
3 Then you will go on further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
Alò, ou va ale pi lwen soti la, e ou va parèt jis nan chèn Thabor a. La, twa mesye k ap monte vè Bondye Béthel yo va rankontre avè w. Youn k ap pote twa jenn kabrit, yon lòt k ap pote twa moso pen, e yon lòt k ap pote yon po diven.
4 And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept from their hand.
Yo va di ou: “Bonjou”, e yo va ba ou de moso pen, ke ou va aksepte nan men yo.
5 After that you shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres before them, and they will be prophesying.
Apre, ou va vini nan ti mòn Bondye a kote ganizon lame Filisten an ye a. Konsa, li va fèt ke depi ou vini la, kote vil la, ou va rankontre yon gwoup pwofèt k ap desann soti nan plas anwo a avèk gita, tanbouren, flit ak bandyo devan yo, e yo va pwofetize.
6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.
Epi Lespri Bondye a va vini sou ou avèk gwo fòs. Ou va pwofetize avèk yo, e ou va chanje pou vin yon lòt moun.
7 And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
Li va rive ke lè sign sa yo parèt sou ou, ou va fè pou kont ou sa ke okazyon an mande, paske Bondye avèk ou.
8 You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do."
“Epi ou va desann devan mwen Guilgal. Gade byen, m ap desann kote ou pou ofri ofrann brile avèk sakrifis lapè yo. Ou va tann sèt jou jiskaske mwen vin kote ou pou montre ou kisa ou ta dwe fè.”
9 When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass that day.
Alò, li te rive ke lè li te vire do li pou kite Samuel, Bondye te chanje kè li, epi tout sign sa yo te rive nan jou sa a.
10 And he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
Lè yo te rive la, nan kote ti mòn nan, yon gwoup pwofèt te rankontre li. Epi Lespri Bondye a te vini sou li avèk fòs, jiskaske li te pwofetize pami yo.
11 It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, "What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
Li vin rive ke lè tout moun ki te rekonèt li oparavan yo te wè ke koulye a li pwofetize avèk pwofèt yo, ke pèp la te di youn ak lòt: “Kisa ki rive a fis a Kish la? Èske Saül osi pami pwofèt yo?”
12 One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
Yon mesye nan plas sa a te di: “Alò, kilès ki papa yo?” Konsa, sa te devni yon pwovèb: “Èske Saül, osi pami pwofèt yo?”
13 And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,
Lè li te fin pwofetize li te vini nan plas anwo a.
14 then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went to Samuel."
Alò, tonton Saül te di li avèk sèvitè li a: “Kote ou te ale?” Epi li te di: “Pou chache bourik yo. Men lè nou vin wè yo p ap kab twouve, nou te ale kote Samuel.”
15 Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."
Tonton Saül te di li: “Souple, di m sa ke Samuel te di ou a.”
16 Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.
Konsa Saül te di tonton li: “Li te pale nou byen klè ke bourik yo gen tan twouve.” Men li pa t pale li afè wayòm ke Samuel te pale a.
17 Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah;
Apre sa Samuel te konvoke pèp la ansanm vè SENYÈ a nan Mitspa.
18 and he said to the children of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:'
Li te di a fis Israël yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Mwen te mennen Israël monte soti Égypte. Mwen te delivre nou soti nan men Ejipsyen yo, e nou te soti de men a tout wayòm ki t ap oprime nou yo.’
19 but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands."
Men jodi a, nou te rejte Bondye nou an, ki delivre nou de tout malè nou yo ak detrès nou yo. Malgre sa nou vin di: ‘Non, men mete yon wa sou nou!’ Pou sa, prezante nou menm devan SENYÈ a pa tribi nou yo ak gran fanmi nou yo.”
20 So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
Konsa, Samuel te mennen tout tribi Israël yo vin toupre li, e tribi Benjamin an te pran pa tiraj osò.
21 He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.
Alò, li te mennen tribi Benjamin an vin toupre pa fanmi li yo, e yo te pran fanmi Matri a. Konsa, Saül, fis a Kish la te vin pran. Men lè yo vin chache li, yo pa t kab twouve l.
22 Therefore they asked of the LORD further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" The LORD answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."
Pou sa, yo vin mande plis a SENYÈ a: “Èske nonm nan gen tan rive isit la deja?” Pou sa, Bondye te di: “Gade byen, l ap kache kò li kote pwovizyon yo.”
23 They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
Konsa yo te kouri pran li soti la, e lè li te kanpe pami pèp la, li te pi wo pase tout lòt moun nan pèp la soti nan zepòl li.
24 Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."
Samuel te di a tout pèp la: “Èske nou wè sila ke SENYÈ a te chwazi a? Anverite, nanpwen lòt moun ki tankou li pami tout pèp la.” “Konsa, tout pèp la te rele fò. Yo te di: “Viv Wa a!”
25 Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place
Alò, Samuel te pale pèp la règleman a wayòm nan. Li te ekri yo nan liv la, e li te plase li devan SENYÈ a. Konsa, Samuel te voye tout pèp la ale, yo chak nan pwòp kay pa yo.
26 Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts the LORD had touched.
Anplis Saül te ale lakay li Guibea. Epi mesye vanyan yo avèk kè ki te touche pa Bondye te ale avèk li.
27 But certain worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
Men sèten sanzave ki te di: “Kijan mesye sila a kapab delivre nou?” Yo te meprize li e pa t pote okenn kado pou li. Men li te rete an silans.
