< Judges 15 >

1 But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a young goat; and he said, "I will go in to my wife into the room." But her father wouldn't allow him to go in.
Kèk tan apre sa, pandan rekòt ble a, Samson al rann madanm li vizit. Li te pote yon jenn ti kabrit pou li. Li di bòpè li: -Mwen pral antre nan chanm madanm mwen! Men, bòpè a pa t' kite l' antre.
2 Her father said, "I most certainly thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn't her younger sister more beautiful than she is? Please take her, instead."
Li di Samson konsa: -Mwen te kwè ou te rayi l'! Se konsa, mwen pran l' bay pi bon zanmi ou lan. Men, ti sè l' la pi bèl pase l'. Ou te mèt pran ti sè a nan plas gran sè a.
3 Samson said to him, "This time I will be blameless in regard of the Philistines, when I harm them."
Samson di yo: -Fwa sa a, si m' fè moun Filisti yo kichòy, piga pesonn vin di m' anyen.
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the midst between every two tails.
L' ale, li pran twasan (300) chen mawon. Li mare yo nan ke de pa de, ak yon bwa chandèl nan mitan ke yo.
5 And when he had set fire to the torches, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.
Apre sa, li mete dife nan bwa chandèl yo, epi li lage chen mawon yo nan jaden ble moun Filisti yo. Dife boule dènye ble moun yo, non sèlman ble ki kase deja yo, men tou ble ki te sou pye toujou. Dife a boule ata jaden rezen yo ak jaden oliv yo.
6 Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" They said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife, and given her to his companion." The Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father's house with fire.
Lè sa a, moun Filisti yo mande: -Ki moun ki fè sa? Yo di yo: -Se Samson, bofi nonm lavil Timna a, ki fè l', paske bòpè l' te pran madan Samson, li bay yon bon zanmi Samson. Se konsa moun Filisti yo ale yo boule madanm lan ansanm ak papa l' nan kay la.
7 Samson said to them, "Because you did this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."
Samson di yo: -Anhan! Se konsa nou fè sa? Bon. Mwen p'ap sispann toutotan mwen pa fin fè nou peye sa nou fè m' la a.
8 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and lived in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
Se konsa, li atake yo avèk raj, li touye anpil ladan yo. Apre sa, l' ale rete nan yon twou wòch bò lavil Etam.
9 Then the Philistines went up, and camped in Judah, and spread out in Lehi.
Moun Filisti yo al moute kan yo nan peyi Jida, epi yo atake lavil Leki.
10 The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" They said, "We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."
Moun peyi Jida yo mande yo: -Poukisa nou vin atake nou? Yo reponn: -Nou vin isit la pou n' mare Samson, pou n' fè l' pase menm sa li te fè nou pase a.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" He said to them, "As they did to me, so have I done to them."
Lè sa a, twamil (3000) gason peyi Jida desann bò twou wòch Etam lan, epi yo di Samson: -Gen lè ou pa konnen se moun Filisti yo ki chèf nan peyi nou an? Poukisa ou fè nou sa? Li reponn yo: -Mwen fè yo menm sa yo te fè m' lan.
12 They said to him, "We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not fall on me yourselves."
Yo di l': -Nou vin isit la pou nou mare ou, pou nou ka mennen ou bay moun Filisti yo. Samson di yo: -Fè m' sèman nou p'ap touye m', nou menm!
13 They spoke to him, saying, "No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand; but surely we will not kill you." They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
Yo di l': -O non! N'ap annik mare ou, epi n'ap mennen ou bay moun Filisti yo. Nou p'ap touye ou! Yo pran de kòd tou nèf, yo mare l' byen mare epi yo tounen avè l' soti nan twou wòch la.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him: and the Spirit of YHWH rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands dropped from off his hands.
Lè yo rive lavil Leki, moun Filisti yo kouri vin kontre avè l', yo t'ap rele sitèlman yo te kontan yo te pran li. Lespri Seyè a desann sou Samson. Epi li kase kòd ki te mare de bra l' yo. Moso kòd yo tonbe atè, ou ta di fil ki boule nan dife.
15 And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and reached down and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
Li jwenn zo machwè yon bourik ki te fenk mouri, li lonje men l', li pran l', li touye mil (1000) moun avè l'.
16 Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men."
Lèfini, li pran chante, li di: -Avèk yon zo machwè bourik mwen touye mil moun. Avèk yon zo machwè bourik mwen bat yo byen bat.
17 It happened, when he had finished speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
Lè li fin di sa, li voye zo machwè bourik la jete. Li rele kote l' te ye a: Mòn zo machwè.
18 He was very thirsty, and called on YHWH, and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"
Apre sa, Samson vin anvi bwè dlo. Li rele Seyè a, li di: -Ou fin fè m' genyen bèl batay sa a. Koulye a, w'ap kite m' mouri swaf dlo pou bann moun ki p'ap sèvi ou yo mete men sou mwen!
19 And God split the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
Lè sa a, Bondye louvri yon twou nan tè a bò lavil Leki a, epi dlo pete soti ladan l'. Samson bwè dlo, li santi l' refè. Se poutèt sa yo rele sous sa a Sous Akore. Sous sa a la bò lavil Leki jouk jòdi a.
20 He judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Samson gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la pandan ventan sou rèy moun Filisti yo.
