1 Samuel 2
1 And she said, "My heart rejoices in YHWH. My strength rises up in my God. My mouth boasts over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
Anne te priye e te di: “Kè mwen vin leve wo nèt nan SENYÈ a! Kòn mwen leve wo nan SENYÈ a. Bouch mwen pale kouraj kont lènmi mwen yo, akoz mwen rejwi nan delivrans Ou.
2 Truly, there is no one as holy as YHWH. Truly, there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.
Nanpwen pèsòn ki sen tankou SENYÈ a. Anverite, nanpwen lòt sof ke Ou menm, ni nanpwen okenn wòch tankou Bondye pa nou an.
3 Do not speak boastfully or let arrogance come out of your mouth, for YHWH is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.
“Pa pale kè anflè ankò, pa kite awogans sòti nan bouch ou. Paske SENYÈ a se yon Bondye avèk konesans, e avèk Li, tout zak yo peze nan balans.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
“Banza a pwisan yo vin fann, kraze nèt, men fèb yo vin gen fòs.
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children languishes.
Sila ki te gen vant plen yo vin vann tèt yo pou achte pen, men sila ki te grangou vin satisfè. Menm sila ki te esteril la fè sèt pitit, men Sila ki te fè anpil pitit la vin sispann.
“Se SENYÈ a ki detwi e ki fè viv. SENYÈ a rale desann nan sejou lanmò yo, e Li leve wo. (Sheol h7585)
7 YHWH makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.
SENYÈ a fè pòv ak rich. Li abese e anplis, Li leve.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are YHWH's. He has set the world on them.
Li leve malere sòti nan pousyè. Li leve sila ki nan bezwen an soti nan pil sann nan, pou yo chita avèk prens yo, e jwenn yon chèz donè kòm eritaj. Paske pilye tè yo se pou SENYÈ a yo ye. Li te plase lemond sou yo.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness. For no man will prevail by strength.
L ap pwoteje pye a sen Li yo; men, mechan yo va jwenn silans nan tenèb la; paske se pa pa lafòs ke yon nonm vin reyisi.
10 Those who strive with YHWH will be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "YHWH will judge the farthest parts of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."
Sila ki fè lènmi avèk SENYÈ a va kraze nèt. Kont yo Li va gwonde depi nan syèl yo. SENYÈ a ki va jije, jis rive nan tout ekstremite latè yo. Konsa, Li va bay kouraj a wa Li; Li va fè leve wo kòn onksyon pa Li a.”
11 And she went to Ramah, while the child served YHWH before Eli the priest.
Elkana te ale lakay li Rama. Men gason an te fè sèvis SENYÈ a devan Éli, prèt la.
12 Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know YHWH.
Alò, fis a Éli yo te vagabon. Yo pa t konnen SENYÈ a,
13 The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was boiling, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
ni koutim prèt yo avèk pèp pa yo. Lè yon moun t ap ofri yon sakrifis, sèvitè a prèt la te konn vini pandan vyann nan t ap bouyi avèk yon fouch twa pwent nan men l.
14 and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took therewith. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
Konsa, li te konn fonse l nan kivèt ak chodyè a, oswa bonm nan, oswa po a. Epi tout sa ke fouch la fè leve, prèt la ta pran l pou kont li. Konsa yo te fè tout Izrayelit yo ki parèt nan Silo.
15 Yes, before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat to roast for the priest; for he will not accept boiled meat from you, but raw."
Anplis, avan yo te brile grès la, sèvitè prèt la te vini e te di a mesye ki t ap fè sakrifis la: “Bay prèt la vyann pou boukannen; paske li p ap pran vyann bouyi nan men nou, sèl sa ki poko kwit.”
16 If the man said to him, "Let the fat be burned first, and then take all of it which your soul desires"; then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."
Si mesye a ta di li: “Fòk yo brile grès la avan e apre, ou kab pran sa ou pito,” Alò, li ta di: “Non, men se koulye a, pou ou ban mwen li. Si se pa konsa, m ap sezi l pa lafòs.”
17 The sin of the young men was very great before YHWH; for they despised the offering of YHWH.
Konsa, peche jennonm yo te trè gran devan SENYÈ a, paske moun te meprize ofrann SENYÈ a.
18 But Samuel ministered before YHWH, being a child, clothed with a linen ephod.
Alò Samuel te fè sèvis devan SENYÈ a tankou yon jenn gason abiye ak yon efòd fèt ak len.
19 Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
Epi manman li ta fè pou li yon ti manto pou pote ba li chak ane lè l te monte avèk mari li pou ofri sakrifis la.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and said, "May YHWH repay you with offspring by this woman for the gift which she made to YHWH." And the man returned to his home.
Alò, Éli ta beni Elkana avèk madanm li e di: “Ke SENYÈ a ba ou pitit pa fanm sa a pou ranplase sila ke li te konsakre bay SENYÈ a.” Epi yo te ale lakay yo.
21 YHWH visited Hannah, and she bore more children, three sons and two daughters. The child Samuel grew before YHWH.
SENYÈ a te vizite Anne. Li te vin ansent e te bay nesans a twa fis ak de fi. Epi gason Samuel la te grandi devan SENYÈ a.
22 Now Eli was very old; and he heard what his sons did to the children of Israel (and how that they lay with the women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting).
Alò Éli te vin trè vye. Li te tande tout sa ke fis li yo t ap fè a tout Israël la ak jan yo te kouche avèk fanm ki te sèvi nan pòtay tant asanble a.
23 And he said to them, "Why do you do such things as these that I hear being said of you from the mouth of the people of YHWH?
Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou konn fè bagay parèy sa yo, bagay mechan ke m tande tout moun sa yo pale yo?
24 No, my sons, do not do this. For it is not a good report that I hear the people of YHWH spreading.
Non, fis mwen yo, rapò ke m tande sikile pami pèp la pa bon.
25 If a man sins gravely against another, he can appeal to YHWH; but if a man sins against YHWH, who can intercede for him?" But, they did not listen to the voice of their father, because YHWH intended to kill them.
Si yon nonm vin peche kont yon lòt, Bondye va entèsede pou li. Men si yon nonm peche kont SENYÈ a, se kilès ki kab entèsede pou li?” Men yo pa t koute vwa a papa yo, paske SENYÈ a te vle mete yo a lanmò.
26 The child Samuel grew on, and increased in favor both with YHWH, and also with men.
Alò, gason Samuel t ap grandi nan wotè ak nan favè avèk SENYÈ a e avèk tout moun.
27 A man of God came to Eli, and said, "Thus says YHWH, I plainly revealed myself to the house of your father, when they were slaves in Egypt to the house of Pharaoh.
Alò, yon nonm Bondye te vin kote Éli e te di li: “Men konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘Èske Mwen pa t vrèman revele Mwen menm a kay zansèt ou yo lè yo te an Égypte nan esklavaj lakay Farawon an?
28 And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod. And I gave to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel as food.
Èske Mwen pa t chwazi yo soti nan tout tribi Israël yo pou devni prèt Mwen, pou monte vè lotèl Mwen, pou brile lansan, pou pote yon efòd devan Mwen? Epi èske Mwen pa t bay lakay zansèt nou yo tout ofrann dife fis Israël yo?
29 Then why do you look at my sacrifice and my offering with a selfish eye, and honor your sons more than me in letting them eat from the first part of every offering of Israel before me?'
Poukisa ou voye pye kont sakrifis Mwen ak sou ofrann ke M te kòmande nan kay abitasyon Mwen an, e bay onè a fis ou yo plis ke Mwen menm lè nou fè nou menm gra avèk pi bèl chwa a chak ofrann pèp Mwen an, Israël?’
30 "Therefore YHWH, the God of Israel, says, 'I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me forever.' But now YHWH says, 'Be it far from me; for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la deklare: ‘Mwen te vrèman di ke lakay ou ak lakay zansèt ou yo ta dwe mache devan Mwen pou tou tan.’ Men koulye a SENYÈ a deklare: ‘Ou lwen de sa a — paske sila ki onore Mwen yo, Mwen va onore yo. Men sila ki meprize Mwen yo, Mwen va meprize yo.
31 Look, the days come, that I will cut off your descendants, and the descendants of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
Gade byen, jou yo ap vini ke Mwen va kase fòs ou ak fòs lakay zansèt nou yo jiskaske pa gen yon granmoun lakay nou.
32 And you will see distress in the dwelling place, in all that he does good with Israel. And there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
Ou va wè twoub nan abitasyon Mwen, malgre tout byen ke m va fè pou Israël. Se pa pou tout tan ou ap gen yon granmoun lakay ou.
33 And the man of yours I do not cut off from my altar will be to cause his eyes to fail and to grieve his soul, and all the increase of your house will die by the sword of men.
Moun pa w ke M pa koupe retire nèt tout sou lotèl Mwen an, jiskaske zye nou manje, e fè kè w trist nèt. Tout desandan lakay nou yo va vin mouri ak gwo fòs jènes yo toujou sou yo.
34 "'This shall be the sign to you, that shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall both die.
Sa va yon sign pou nou menm ki va vini konsènan de fis ou yo, Hophni avèk Phinées: Nan menm jou a, yo toude va mouri.
35 I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind. I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my anointed forever.
Men Mwen va fè leve pou kont Mwen yon prèt fidèl ki va fèt selon sa ki nan kè M ak nan nanm Mwen. Epi Mwen va bati pou li yon kay k ap dire e li va mache toujou devan onksyon Mwen.
36 It shall happen, that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Please put me into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread."'"
Tout sila ki rete lakay ou yo va vin bese ba a li menm pou yon pyès ajan, oswa yon mòso pen. Yo va di: “Souple, ban m yon plas nan youn nan pozisyon prèt yo pou m kab manje yon mòso pen.”’”
