< Judges 3 >

1 And these [are] the nations which he left Yahweh to put to [the] test by them Israel all [those] who not they had known all [the] wars of Canaan.
Alò, sila yo se nasyon ke SENYÈ a te kite pou sèvi kòm eprèv pou Israëlit yo ki potko konn fè lagè avèk Kananeyen yo.
2 Only so as to know [the] generations of [the] people of Israel to teach them war only which before not they had known them.
Konsa li ta rive ke jenerasyon a fis Israël ki pa t kon fè lagè, ta kapab enstwi.
3 [the] five - [the] rulers of [the] Philistines And all the Canaanite[s] and the Sidonian[s] and the Hivite[s] [who] dwelt of [the] mount of Lebanon from [the] mountain of Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
Nasyon sa yo se: senk prens nan nasyon Filisten yo, tout Kananeyen yo, Sidonyen yo ak Evyen ki te rete nan Mòn Liban yo, soti nan Mòn Baal-Hermon, jis rive nan Lebo-Hamath.
4 And they were to put to [the] test by them Israel to know ¿ will they obey [the] commandments of Yahweh which he had commanded ancestors their by [the] hand of Moses.
Yo te pou pase a leprèv Israël, pou dekouvri si yo ta obeyi kòmand ke SENYÈ a te kòmande zansèt yo pa Moïse.
5 And [the] people of Israel they dwelt in [the] midst of the Canaanite[s] the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
Fis Israël yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, Etyen ak Jebizyen yo, Amoreyen yo, Ferezyen yo ak Evyen yo.
6 And they took daughters their for themselves to wives and daughters their they gave to sons their and they served gods their.
Yo te pran fi pa yo pou yo menm kòm madanm, yo te bay pwòp fi yo a fis pa yo, e yo te sèvi dye pa yo.
7 And they did [the] people of Israel the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they forgot Yahweh God their and they served the Baals and the Asherah poles.
Fis Israël yo te fè sa ki te mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, e yo te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a pou te sèvi Baal avèk Aseroth yo.
8 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he sold them in [the] hand of Cushan-Rishathaim [the] king of Aram Naharaim and they served [the] people of Israel Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.
Alò, lakòlè SENYÈ a te limen kont Israël jiskaske Li te vann yo nan men a Cuschan-Rischeathaïm, wa Mésopotamie a. Konsa, fis Israël yo te sèvi Cuschan-Rischeathaïm pandan uit ane.
9 And they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh and he raised up Yahweh a deliverer for [the] people of Israel and he delivered them Othniel [the] son of Kenaz [the] brother of Caleb young more than him.
Lè fis Israël yo te vin kriye fò a SENYÈ a, SENYÈ a te fè leve yon liberatè pou delivre yo, Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, ti frè a Caleb la.
10 And it was on him [the] spirit of Yahweh and he judged Israel and he went out to war and he gave Yahweh in hand his Cushan-Rishathaim [the] king of Aram and it prevailed hand his over Cushan-Rishathaim.
Lespri SENYÈ a te vini sou li pou li te jije Israël lè li te sòti pou fè lagè. SENYÈ a te livre Cuschan-Rischeathaïm, wa Mésopotamie an, nan men l, e li te vin genyen sou Cuschan-Rischeathaïm.
11 And it was at peace the land forty year[s] and he died Othniel [the] son of Kenaz.
Alò, peyi a te vin gen repo pandan karant ane, men Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, te vin mouri.
12 And they repeated [the] people of Israel to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he strengthened Yahweh Eglon [the] king of Moab over Israel on for they did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
Alò, fis Israël yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a ankò. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te ranfòse Églon, wa Moab la, kont Israël, akoz yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
13 And he gathered to himself [the] people of Ammon and Amalek and he went and he attacked Israel and they took possession of [the] city of the palm trees.
Li te ranmase a li menm fis a Ammon yo, avèk Amalek. Konsa, li te ale bat Israël pou yo te posede vil pye palmis yo.
14 And they served [the] people of Israel Eglon [the] king of Moab eight-teen year[s].
Fis Israël yo te sèvi Églon, wa Moab la, pandan dizuit ane.
15 And they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh and he raised up Yahweh for them a deliverer Ehud [the] son of Gera [the] Ben-jaminite a man impeded [the] hand of right his and they sent [the] people of Israel by hand his tribute to Eglon [the] king of Moab.
Men lè fis Israël yo te vin kriye fò bay SENYÈ a, SENYÈ a te fè leve yon liberatè pou yo, Éhud, fis a Guéra a, Benjamit lan, yon nonm goche. Konsa, pa li menm, fis a Israël yo te voye kòb angajman yo bay Églon, wa Moab la.
16 And he made for himself Ehud a sword and [belonged] to it two lips [was] a cubit length its and he girded it from under to garments his on [the] thigh of right his.
Éhud te fè pou kont li yon nepe avèk lam file de bò, yon koude nan longè e li te mare li nan kwis dwat li, anba manto li.
17 And he brought near the tribute to Eglon [the] king of Moab and Eglon [was] a man fat very.
Li te prezante kòb angajman an bay Églon, wa Moab la. Alò, Églon te yon mesye byen gra.
18 And it was just when he had finished to bring near the tribute and he sent away the people [who] bore the tribute.
Li te vin rive ke lè li te fin prezante kòb la, li te fè moun pa l yo ki te pote don an sòti.
19 And he he returned from the idols which [were] with Gilgal and he said a word of secrecy [belongs] to me to you O king and he said hush! and they went out from with him all those [who] stood with him.
Men li menm te vire sòti kote zidòl ki te Guilgal yo, e te di: “Mwen gen yon mesaj sekrè pou ba ou, O Wa.” Epi li menm wa a te di: “Rete an silans.” Epi tout sila ki te sèvi li yo te pati.
20 And Ehud - he came to him and he [was] sitting in [the] roof chamber of the coolness which [belonged] to him to only him and he said Ehud a word of God [belongs] to me to you and he rose from on the throne.
Éhud te vin vè li pandan li te chita sèl nan chanm twati fre li a. Epi Éhud te di li: “Mwen gen yon mesaj ki sòti nan Bondye pou ou.” Li te leve sou chèz li a.
21 And he stretched out Ehud [the] hand of left his and he took the sword from on [the] thigh of right his and he thrust it in belly his.
Konsa, Éhud te lonje men goch li, te pran nepe a soti nan kwis dwat li e te pase l nèt travèse vant li.
22 And it went also the hilt after the blade and it closed up the fat behind the blade that not he drew out the sword from belly his and he went out the hole towards.
Manch lan osi te antre anndan l apre lam nan e grès te vin kouvri sou lam nan; paske li pa t retire nepe a sòti nan vant li e salte vant lan te vin sòti ladann.
23 And he went out Ehud the porch towards and he closed [the] doors of the roof chamber behind him and he locked [them].
Alò, Éhud te sòti sou galeri gran chanm nan, te fèmen pòt a chanm twati dèyè li yo, e li te kadnase yo.
24 And he he went forth and servants his they came and they saw and there! [the] doors of the roof chamber [were] locked and they said surely [is] covering he feet his in [the] chamber of the coolness.
Lè l te fin sòti, sèvitè li yo te vin gade; epi vwala, pòt a chanm twati yo te kadnase. Konsa yo te di: “L ap sèlman okipe bezwen li nan chanm fre a.”
25 And they writhed until were ashamed and there! not he [was] opening [the] doors of the roof chamber and they took the key and they opened [them] and there! master their [was] lying [the] ground towards dead.
Yo te tann jiskaske yo te vin twouble, men gade byen, li pa t vin ouvri pòt a chanm twati la. Pou sa, yo te pran kle a pou te louvri yo, epi gade byen, mèt yo a te tonbe atè a mouri nèt.
26 And Ehud he escaped until delayed they and he he passed by the idols and he escaped Seirah towards.
Alò, Éhud te chape pandan yo te mize a. Li te pase kote zidòl yo e te chape rive Seïra.
27 And it was when came he and he gave a blast on the ram's horn in [the] hill country of Ephraim and they went down with him [the] people of Israel from the hill country and he [was] before them.
Li te vin rive ke lè li te parèt, li te soufle twonpèt peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo. Konsa, fis Israël yo te vin desann avè l soti nan peyi ti kolin yo, e li menm te ale devan yo.
28 And he said to them pursue after me for he has given Yahweh enemies your Moab in hand your and they went down after him and they captured [the] fords of the Jordan to Moab and not they permitted anyone to pass over.
Li te di yo: “Kouri dèyè yo, paske SENYÈ a gen tan livre lènmi nou yo, Moabit yo, nan men nou.” Epi yo te desann dèyè yo pou te sezi yo kote Jourdain ki anfas Moab la, e yo pa t kite pèsòn janbe.
29 And they struck down Moab at the time that about ten thousand man every stout [person] and every man of strength and not he escaped anyone.
Yo te frape fè tonbe nan tan sa a anviwon di-mil Moabit. Yo tout te gason vanyan e fò. Nanpwen ki te chape.
30 And it was subdued Moab on the day that under [the] hand of Israel and it was at peace the land eighty year[s].
Konsa, Moab te soumèt nan jou sa a anba men Israël. Epi peyi a pa t gen boulvèsman ankò pandan katre-ven ane.
31 And after him he was Shamgar [the] son of Anath and he struck down [the] Philistines six hundred man with [the] goad of cattle and he delivered also he Israel.
Apre li te vin Schamgar, fis a Anath la, ki te frape fè tonbe sis-san Filisten avèk yon baton ki pou pouse bèf kabwa. Li menm tou te libere Israël.
