Judges 7
1 Then Jerubbaal, the same, is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped by the fountain of Harod, —and, the camp of Midian, was on the north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the vale.
Epi Jerubbaal (sa vle di Gédéon) avèk tout pèp ki te avèk li a te leve granmmaten e te fè kan an kote sous Harod la. Kan Madian an te vè nò de yo menm, akote ti mòn Moreh nan vale a.
2 And Yahweh said unto Gideon, Too many, are the people that are with thee, for me to deliver the Midianites into their hand, —lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand, hath saved me.
SENYÈ a te di a Gédéon: “Pèp la ki avèk ou a twòp pou M ta delivre Madian nan men yo, paske Israël ta vin ògeye, e di: ‘Se pouvwa mwen ki delivre mwen.’
3 Now, therefore, proclaim, I pray thee, in the ears of the people, saying, Whoso feareth and trembleth—let him turn and go back from Mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and, ten thousand, remained.
Pou sa, vin pwoklame nan zòrèy a tout pèp la, e di: ‘Nenpòt moun ki gen lakrent e k ap tranble, ke li retounen sòti nan Mòn Galaad.’” Konsa, venn-de-mil moun te retounen; men te gen di-mil moun ki te rete.
4 Then said Yahweh unto Gideon—Yet, are the people too many, take them down unto the waters, that I may prove them for thee, there, —and it shall be, that, he of whom I say unto thee, This one, shall go with thee, the same, shall go with thee, and, every one of whom I say unto thee, This one, shall not go with thee, the same, shall not go.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Gédéon: “Pèp la twòp toujou. Mennen yo desann kote dlo a, e Mwen va pase yo a leprèv pou ou la. Konsa li va ye ke si M di ou: ‘Sila a prale avè w’, l ap prale; men a tout sila ke M di w: ‘Sila a pa prale’, li pa prale.”
5 So he took down the people unto the waters, —and Yahweh said unto Gideon—Every one that lappeth with his tongue of the water, as a dog lappeth, thou shalt set him by himself, likewise, every one that boweth down upon his knees, to drink.
Konsa, li te mennen pèp la desann vè dlo a. Epi SENYÈ a te di a Gédéon: “Ou va separe tout sila ki lape dlo a avèk lang yo tankou chen ak, anplis sila ki mete kò l ajenou pou bwè yo.”
6 And so it was, that, the number of them that lapped with their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men, —but, all the rest of the people, bowed down on their knees, to drink water.
Alò, kantite a sila ki te lape dlo a, ki pa rale l nan men yo pou rive nan bouch yo se te twa-san lòm, e rès yo te mete yo ajenou pou bwè.
7 Then said Yahweh unto Gideon—By the three hundred men that lapped, will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let, all [the rest of] the people, go every man to his own place.
SENYÈ a te di a Gédéon: “Mwen va delivre nou avèk twa-san lòm sila ki te lape dlo yo e yo va mete Madyanit yo nan men nou. Pou sa, kite tout lòt moun yo ale, tout moun rive lakay yo.”
8 So the people took provisions in their hand, and their horns, but, every man of Israel besides, sent he away every man to his home, whereas, the three hundred men, he retained. Now, the camp of Midian, was beneath him in the vale.
Konsa, twa-san lòm te pran pwovizyon a pèp la, avèk twonpèt pa yo nan men yo. Epi Gédéon te voye tout lòt mesye Israël yo chak nan pwòp tant pa yo, men te kenbe twa-san mesyè yo. Kan Madian an te anba nan vale a.
9 And it came to pass, on that night, that Yahweh said unto him, Arise! go down against the camp, —for I have delivered it into thy hand.
Alò, menm nwit lan, li te vin rive ke SENYÈ a te vin di li: “Leve, desann nan kan an, paske mwen te livre li nan men ou.
10 Or, if, thou, art afraid to go down, go down—thou and Purah thy young man, unto the camp;
Men si ou pè desann, ale avèk Pura, sèvitè ou a, anba nan kan an.
11 so shalt thou hear what they shall say, —and, afterward, shall thy hands grow strong, and thou shalt go down against the camp. Then went he down, he and Purah his young man, unto the outmost part of the armed men that were in the camp.
Ou va tande kisa yo di: apre sa, men w ap vin fò pou ou kapab desann kont kan an.” Konsa, li te ale avèk Pura, sèvitè li a, anba kote avan-gad a lame ki te nan kan yo.
12 Now, the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east, were lying along in the vale, like locusts for multitude, —their camels also, were without number, as the sand that is by the sea side, for multitude.
Alò, Madyanit yo avèk Amalekit yo ak tout fis a lès la, te kouche nan vale a. Yo te plis an kantite pase krikèt volan, epi chamo pa yo te twòp pou konte, an gran nonb tankou grenn sab bò lanmè a.
13 And Gideon came in, and lo! a man relating to his neighbour a dream, —and he said—Lo! a dream, have I dreamt, and lo! a round cake of barley bread tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came as far as the tent—and smote it that it fell, and turned it upside down, and the tent lay along.
Lè Gédéon te rive, veye byen, yon nonm t ap revele yon rèv a zanmi li. Li t ap di: “Gade byen, mwen te fè yon rèv; yon mòso pen lòj te tonbe antre nan kan Madian an. Li te rive nan tant lan, li te frape li pou l te tonbe, e, konsa, li te vire l tèt anba pou l kouche plat.”
14 Then responded his neighbour and said: —Nothing else, is this, than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel, —God hath delivered into his hand, both Midian and all the host.
Zanmi li an te reponn: “Sa se pa anyen mwens ke nepe a Gédéon an, fis a Joas la, yon nonm de Israël. Bondye te mete Madian avèk tout kan an nan men li.”
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the story of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he bowed himself down, —and returned unto the camp of Israel, and said—Arise! for Yahweh hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
Lè Gédéon te tande afè rèv la ak entèpretasyon li, li te bese an adorasyon. Li te retounen nan kan Israël la, e li te di: “Leve, paske SENYÈ a gen tan mete kan Madian an nan men nou.”
16 And he divided the three hundred men, into three companies, —and put horns into the hands of them all, with empty pitchers, and torches inside the pitchers.
Li te divize twa-san lòm yo an twa konpayi, e li te mete twonpèt yo avèk krich vid yo nan men yo tout, avèk tòch yo anndan krich yo.
17 Then he said unto them, On me, shall ye look, and, in like manner, shall ye do, —and lo! when I am coming unto the outermost part of the camp, then shall it be, that, as I do, so, shall ye do.
Li te di yo: “Gade mwen, e fè menm bagay la. Epi veye byen, lè m rive kote bò kan an, fè menm sa ke m fè a.
18 When I shall blow with the horn, I and all who are with me, then shall, ye also, round about all the camp, blow with your horns, and shall say, For Yahweh and for Gideon!
Lè mwen avèk tout sila ki avè m yo soufle twonpèt la, alò, nou, osi, nou va soufle twonpèt yo toutotou kan an, e nou va di: ‘Pou SENYÈ a e pou Gédéon.’”
19 So Gideon came, and the hundred men that were with him, unto the outermost part of the camp, at the beginning of the middle watch, they had but, newly set, the watchers, —and they blew with the horns, and brake in pieces the pitchers, that were in their hand.
Konsa, Gédéon avèk san mesyè ki te avèk li yo te rive bò kan an, nan kòmansman premye ve a, lè yo te fenk plase gad yo. Konsa, yo te soufle twonpèt la e te kraze krich ki te nan men yo.
20 Yea the three companies blew with the horns, and shivered the pitchers, and caught hold—with their left hands—of the torches, while, in their right hands, were the horns, to blow with, —and they cried, A sword for Yahweh, and for Gideon!
Lè twa konpayi yo te soufle twonpèt yo e kraze krich yo, yo te kenbe tòch yo nan men goch avèk twonpèt yo nan men dwat pou soufle, e yo te kriye fò: “Yon nepe pou SENYÈ a ak pou Gédéon!”
21 And they stood still, every man in his place, round about the camp, —and all the host ran and shouted, and fled.
Tout moun te kanpe nan plas li ki te antoure kan an, epi tout lame a te sove ale. Yo te kriye fò e yo te pran flit.
22 When the three hundred blew the horns, Yahweh set the sword of every man, against his neighbour, and against all the host, —and the host fled, as far as the Place of Acacias, towards Zererath, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
Lè yo te soufle twa-san twonpèt yo, SENYÈ a te mete nepe a youn kont lòt e kont tout lanmè a nèt. Konsa, lame a te sove ale jis rive nan Beth-Schitta anvè Tseréra, jis rive nan Abel-Mehola akote Tabath.
23 And the men of Israel were called together, out of Naphtali and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, —and pursued Midian.
Mesye Israël yo te rasanble sòti jis Nephtali avèk Aser ak tout Manassé, epi yo te kouri dèyè Madian.
24 And, messengers, did Gideon send through all the hill country of Ephraim, saying—Go down to meet Midian, and capture, before them, the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and the Jordan. So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and captured the waters, as far as Beth-barah, and the Jordan.
Gédéon te voye mesaje toupatou nan peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo. Li te di: “Vin desann kont Madian e pran dlo devan yo jis rive nan Beth-Bara avèk rivyè Jourdain an!”
25 And they captured the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb at Oreb’s Rock, and, Zeeb, they slew at Zeeb’s Winepress, and pursued Midian, —and, the heads of Oreb and Zeeb, brought they in unto Gideon at the ford of the Jordan.
Yo te kaptire de chèf dirijan a Madian yo, Oreb avèk Zeeb. Yo te touye Oreb nan wòch Oreb la, e yo te touye Zeeb nan pez divin Zeeb la, pandan yo t ap kouri dèyè Madian. Konsa, yo te pote tèt a Oreb avèk Zeeb bay Gédéon soti lòtbò Jourdain an.
