Judges 21
1 And [the] man of Israel he had sworn at Mizpah saying anyone of us not he will give daughter his to Benjamin to a wife.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te fè gwo sèman devan Seyè a lavil Mispa. Yo te di: -Nou p'ap janm bay pitit fi nou pou yo marye ak moun nan fanmi Benjamen yo.
2 And it came the people Beth-el and they sat there until the evening before God and they lifted up voice their and they wept weeping great.
Pèp la moute lavil Betèl, yo chita devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a jouk aswè. Yo t'ap rele, yo t'ap kriye ak gwo dlo nan je yo.
3 And they said why? O Yahweh [the] God of Israel has it happened (this [thing] *LA(bh)*) in Israel to be missing this day from Israel a tribe one.
Yo t'ap di: -Seyè o, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, poukisa sa rive? Poukisa gen yon branch fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la ki manke jòdi a?
4 And it was from [the] next day and they rose early the people and they built there an altar and they offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Nan denmen, moun yo leve byen bonè, yo bati yon lotèl. Yo boule bèt nan dife nèt sou li, yo fè ofrann pou mande Bondye padon.
5 And they said [the] people of Israel who? [is [the] one] who not he went up in the assembly from all [the] tribes of Israel to Yahweh for the oath great it was to [the one] who not he went up to Yahweh Mizpah saying certainly he will be put to death.
Lèfini, yo t'ap mande: -Kilès nan tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la ki pa t' nan reyinyon nou te fè devan Seyè a? Lè reyinyon an, yo te fè yon gwo sèman pou yo touye tout moun ki pa t' mete pye yo lavil Mispa devan Seyè a.
6 And they had compassion [the] people of Israel to Benjamin brother its and they said it has been cut off this day a tribe one from Israel.
Men, pèp Izrayèl la te nan gwo lapenn pou moun Benjamen yo, frè yo. Yo t'ap di: -Wi jòdi a, pèp Izrayèl la pèdi yon branch fanmi vre!
7 What? will we do for them for [those who] remain for wives and we we have sworn by Yahweh to not to give to them any of daughters our to wives.
Kisa nou pral fè pou ti rès ki rete a ka jwenn fi pou yo marye, paske nou te fè sèman devan Seyè a nou p'ap janm ba yo pitit fi nou yo pou madanm.
8 And they said who? [is the] one from [the] tribes of Israel which not it went up to Yahweh Mizpah and there! not he had come anyone to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.
Lè sa a, yo mande: -Kilès nan branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la ki pa t' moute lavil Mispa devan Seyè a? Yo jwenn pesonn nan lavil Jabès nan peyi Galarad la, pa t' vin nan kan an pou patisipe nan reyinyon an.
9 And it was mustered the people and there! there not there [was] anyone from [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead.
Lè yo t'ap konte moun ki te la yo, pa t' gen yon moun nan lavil Jabès nan peyi Galarad la.
10 And they sent there the congregation two [plus] ten thousand man from [the] sons of strength and they commanded them saying go and you will strike [the] inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead to [the] mouth of [the] sword and the women and the little one[s].
Se konsa, moun ki te sanble yo chwazi douz mil (12.000) sòlda nan sa ki pi bon yo, yo voye yo la ak lòd sa a: -Ale nan peyi Galarad. Touye dènye moun lavil Jabès, ata fanm ak timoun.
11 And this [is] the thing which you will do every male and every woman [who] has known lying of a male you will totally destroy.
Men sa pou nou fè: N'a touye dènye gason ak tout fanm ki deja marye tankou ofrann n'ap fè pou Seyè a.
12 And they found of [the] inhabitants of - Jabesh Gilead four hundred young woman virgin[s] who not she had known a man to lying of a male and they brought them to the camp Shiloh which [is] in [the] land of Canaan.
Nan moun lavil Jabès nan peyi Galarad la, yo jwenn katsan (400) jenn fi ki pa t' janm ko konn gason. Yo mennen yo nan kan an lavil Silo, nan peyi Kanaran.
13 And they sent all the congregation and they spoke to [the] descendants of Benjamin who [were] at [the] rock of Rimmon and they proclaimed to them peace.
Lèfini, tout moun ki te sanble yo voye komisyon bay moun Benjamen yo ki te bò Wòch Rimon an. Yo mande yo fè lapè.
14 And it returned Benjamin at the time that and they gave to them the women whom they had preserved alive from [the] women of Jabesh Gilead and not they found for them so.
Moun Benjamen yo tounen, epi lòt moun Izrayèl yo ba yo jenn fi lavil Jabès yo pa t' touye yo pou madanm. Men, pa t' gen ase pou yo tout.
15 And the people it had compassion to Benjamin for he had made Yahweh a breach in [the] tribes of Israel.
Sa te fè pèp Izrayèl la lapenn anpil pou moun Benjamen yo, paske Seyè a te kraze tèt ansanm ki te gen nan pèp Izrayèl la.
16 And they said [the] elders of the congregation what? will we do for [those who] remain for wives for she is destroyed from Benjamin woman.
Se konsa chèf ki te la yo di konsa: -Pa gen fanm ankò nan branch fanmi Benjamen an. Kisa nou pral fè la a pou nou bay rès mesye yo fanm pou yo marye?
17 And they said a possession of [the] escaped remnant [belongs] to Benjamin and not it will be wiped out a tribe from Israel.
Yo di ankò: -Pèp Izrayèl la pa ka pèdi yon branch fanmi. Se pou nou jwenn yon mwayen pou branch fanmi Benjamen an ka la toujou.
18 And we not we are able to give to them wives any of daughters our for they had sworn [the] people of Israel saying [be] cursed [one who] gives a wife to Benjamin.
Men, nou pa ka pran nan fi nou yo pou nou ba yo pou madanm, paske pèp Izrayèl la te fè sèman pou yo pa fè sa. Yo te di: Madichon pou nenpòt moun ki va pran pitit fi yo bay moun nan fanmi Benjamen an pou madanm.
19 And they said here! [the] festival of Yahweh [is] in Shiloh from days - days towards which [is] from north-ward of Beth-el [the] rising of towards the sun of [the] highway which goes up from Beth-el Shechem towards and from [the] south to Lebonah.
Apre sa yo di: -Nan kèk jou, se pral lè pou nou fè gwo fèt nou gen pou nou fè chak lanne pou Seyè a lavil Silo. Lavil Silo sa a te sou bò nò lavil Betèl, sou bò sid lavil Lebona, sou bò solèy kouche wout ki soti Betèl moute Sichèm.
20 (And they commanded *Q(K)*) [the] descendants of Benjamin saying go and you will lie in wait in the vineyards.
Yo di moun Benjamen yo: -Al kache nan jaden rezen yo.
21 And you will see and there! if they will come out [the] daughters of Shiloh to dance in dances and you will go out from the vineyards and you will seize for yourselves each man wife his from [the] daughters of Shiloh and you will go [the] land of Benjamin.
Lè n'a wè jenn fi lavil Silo yo soti pou y' al danse ansanm pandan fèt la, nou menm n'a soti nan jaden rezen yo. Chak moun va pran yonn ladan yo pa fòs, epi n'a ale nan peyi Benjamen avèk yo.
22 And it will be that they will come fathers their or brothers their (to make a complaint *Q(k)*) to us and we will say to them show favor for to us them for not we took each man wife his in the battle for not you you gave [them] to them about this time you will be guilty.
Si papa yo osinon frè yo vin jwenn nou, nou menm chèf pèp la, pou pote plent, n'a di yo: Tanpri, kite yo pran yo, paske nou pa t' jwenn kont fanm pou yo lè nou te al goumen lavil Jabès la. Epitou, se pa nou menm ki te ba yo pitit fi nou yo pou madanm. Konsa, pesonn p'ap ka di nou pa t' kenbe sèman nou.
23 And they did thus [the] descendants of Benjamin and they carried off wives to number their from the dancers whom they seized and they went and they returned to inheritance their and they rebuilt the cities and they dwelt in them.
Mesye Benjamen yo fè sa yo te di yo fè a. Chak mesye yo pran yon fi pami sa ki t'ap danse yo, yo pati ak yo. Yo tounen nan peyi zansèt yo. Yo rebati lavil yo, epi yo rete la.
24 And they dispersed from there [the] people of Israel at the time that each man to tribe his and to clan his and they went out from there each man to inheritance his.
Lè sa a, rès moun pèp Izrayèl la leve yo pati, yo tounen lakay yo al jwenn fanmi yo, nan pòsyon tè yo te bay zansèt yo.
25 In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel each man the right in own eyes his he will do.
Nan tan sa a pa t' gen wa nan peyi Izrayèl la. Chak moun te fè sa yo pito.
