Judges 6
1 Forsothe the sones of Israel diden yuel in the `siyt of the Lord, and he bitook hem in the hond of Madian seuene yeer.
Pèp Izrayèl la lage kò l' ankò nan fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Seyè a kite moun peyi Madyan yo mete pye sou kou yo pandan sètan.
2 And thei weren oppressid of hem greetly; and `thei maden dichis, and dennes to hem silf in hillis, and strongeste places to fiyte ayen.
Moun peyi Madyan yo te pi fò pase moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se poutèt sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo al kache kò yo nan fon ravin, nan gwòt, nan twou wòch yo jwenn nan mòn yo.
3 And whanne Israel hadde sowe, Madian stiede, and Amalech, and othere of the `naciouns of the eest;
Chak fwa moun Izrayèl yo te fè yon ti plante, moun Madyan yo moute ansanm avèk moun Amalèk yo ak lòt bann moun k'ap viv sou bò solèy leve, yo vin atake yo.
4 and thei settiden tentis at the sones of Israel, and wastiden alle thingis `as tho weren in eerbis, ethir grene corn, `til to the entryng of Gaza, and outirli thei leften not in Israel ony thing perteynynge to lijf, not scheep, not oxun, not assis.
Yo moute tant yo sou tè moun Izrayèl yo, yo ravaje tout rekòt yo rive jouk toupre lavil Gaza. Yo pa kite anyen pou moun Izrayèl yo manje, pa menm yon mouton, yon bèf osinon yon bourik.
5 For thei and alle her flockis camen with her tabernaclis, and at the licnesse of locustus thei filliden alle thingis, and a multitude of men and of camels was with out noumbre, and wastiden what euer thing thei touchiden.
Lè konsa, yo moute ak tout tant yo ak bann bèt yo. Yo moute an kantite, ou ta di bann krikèt vèt. Ou pa ka konte konbe ki genyen, ni kantite chamo yo mennen ak yo. Yo te vin nan peyi a pou ravaje l'.
6 And Israel was `maad low greetli in the siyt of Madian.
Moun peyi Madyan yo te fini ak moun Izrayèl yo. Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo kriye nan pye Seyè a, yo mande l' sekou.
7 And Israel criede to the Lord, `and axyde help ayens Madianytis; and he sente to hem a man,
Lè pèp Izrayèl la te kriye nan pye Seyè a pou moun peyi Madyan yo,
8 a profete, and he spak, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Y made you to stie fro Egipt, and Y ledde you out of the hows of seruage,
Seyè a te voye yon pwofèt bay pèp la ki di yo: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di nou: Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti nan peyi Lejip kote nou te nan esklavaj la.
9 and Y delyueride you fro the hond of Egipcians, and of alle enemyes that turmentiden you; and Y castide hem out at youre entryng, and Y yaf to you `the lond of hem;
Mwen te delivre nou anba men moun Lejip yo ak anba men tout lòt moun ki t'ap malmennen nou isit la. Mwen mete yo deyò pou yo fè plas pou nou, lèfini mwen ban nou peyi moun sa yo pou nou rete.
10 and Y seide, Y am `youre Lord God; drede ye not the goddis of Ammorreis, in whose lond ye dwellen; and ye nolden here my vois.
Mwen te di nou se mwen menm Seyè a ki Bondye nou an. Koulye a nou rete nan peyi moun Amori yo, piga n' al sèvi bann bondye moun sa yo. Men, nou pa t' koute m' lè m' te pale nou.
11 Forsothe an aungel of the Lord cam, and sat undur an ook, that was in Effra, and perteynede to Joas, fadir of the meinee of Ezri. And whanne Gedeon, `his sone, threischide out, and purgide wheetis in a pressour,
Lè sa a, zanj Seyè a vini, li chita anba pye chenn ki toupre yon ti bouk yo rele Ofra, ki te pou Joas, moun fanmi Abyezè yo. Jedeyon, pitit gason l' lan, t'ap bat ble an kachèt anndan kay kote yo konn kraze rezen an, pou moun Madyan yo pa t' vin pran l' nan men l'.
12 that he schulde fle Madian, an aungel of the Lord apperide to hym, and seide, The Lord be with thee, thou strongeste of men.
Zanj Seyè a parèt devan l', li di l' konsa: -Bonjou, vanyan sòlda! Seyè a avè ou!
13 And Gedeon seide to hym, My lord, Y biseche, if the Lord is with vs, whi therfor han alle these yuels take vs? Where ben the merueils of hym, whiche oure fadris telden, and seiden, The Lord ledde vs out of Egipt? `Now forsothe he hath forsake vs, and hath bitake vs in the hond of Madian.
Jedeyon reponn li: -Adye, msye! Si Seyè a avè nou vre, manyè di m' poukisa tout bagay sa yo rive nou! Kote tout bèl bagay zansèt nou yo te rakonte nou Seyè a te konn fè, jan se li menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip? Men koulye a, Seyè a lage nou, li kite moun Madyan yo fè sa yo vle ak nou.
14 And the Lord bihelde to hym, and seide, Go thou in this strengthe of thee, and thou schalt delyuere Israel fro the hond of Madian; wite thou, that Y sente thee.
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay Jedeyon lòd sa a, li di l': -Ale non. Avèk fòs kouraj ou genyen an, w'a delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba men moun peyi Madyan yo. Se mwen menm menm ki voye ou!
15 Which Gedeon answeride, and seide, My lord, Y biseche, in what thing schal Y delyuere Israel? Lo! my meynee is the loweste in Manasses, and Y am the leeste in the hows of my fadir.
Jedeyon reponn li! -Tanpri, mèt! Avèk kisa mwen pral delivre pèp Izrayèl la? Fanmi mwen, se li ki gen pi piti moun nan branch fanmi Manase a. Lèfini, mwen menm pou tèt pa m', se mwen menm ki pi piti lakay papa m'.
16 And the Lord seide to hym, Y schal be with thee, and thou schalt smyte Madian as o man.
Seyè a di l': -Ou ka fè l', paske m'ap kanpe la avè ou. Ou pral kraze moun Madyan yo tankou si se te yon sèl moun yo te ye.
17 And Gedeon seide, If Y haue foundun grace bifor thee, yyue to me a signe, that thou, that spekist to me, art sente of Goddis part;
Jedeyon reponn: -Si reyèlman vre ou vle fè m' favè sa a, ban m' yon prèv se ou menm tout bon k'ap pale avè m' la a.
18 go thou not `awei fro hennus, til Y turne ayen to thee, and brynge sacrifice, and offre to thee. Whiche answeride, Y schal abide thi comyng.
Tanpri, pa deplase kote ou ye a jouk m'a pote yon ofrann mete nan pye ou. Li reponn: -M'ap rete la tann ou.
19 And so Gedeon entride, and sethide a kide, and took therf looues of a buyschel of mell, and fleischis in a panyere; and he sente the broth of fleischis in a pot, and bar alle thingis vndur an ook, and offride to hym.
Se konsa, Jedeyon antre, li kwit yon jenn ti kabrit. Li pran yon mamit farin frans, li fè pen san li pa mete ledven ladan l'. Li mete vyann lan nan yon ti panyen, li mete sòs vyann lan nan yon gode, li pote yo bay zanj Seyè a anba pye chenn lan. Li lonje yo ba li.
20 To whom the aungel of the Lord seide, Take thou the fleischis, and therf looues, and putte on that stoon, and schede the broth aboue. And whanne he hadde do so,
Zanj lan di l': -Mete vyann lan ak pen yo sou gwo wòch ou wè la a, epi vide sòs la sou yo. Jedeyon fè sa vre.
21 the aungel of the Lord helde forth the `ende of the yerde which he helde in the hond, and he touchide the fleischis, and the therf looues; and fier stiede fro the stoon, and wastide the fleischis, and therf looues. Forsothe the aungel of the Lord vanyschide fro hise iyen.
Zanj Seyè a leve baton ki te nan men l' lan, li lonje l', li manyen vyann lan ak pen yo ak pwent baton an. Yon dife soti nan wòch la, li boule tout vyann lan ak pen yo. Epi, lamenm zanj Seyè a disparèt devan li.
22 And Gedeon siy that he was `an aungel of the Lord, and seide, Lord God, alas to me, for Y siy the aungel of the Lord face to face.
Lè Jèdeyon wè se zanj Seyè a menm ki te parèt devan l', li di: -Bondye Seyè o! Gade malè ki rive m' non! Mwen wè zanj Seyè a fas pou fas!
23 And the Lord seide to hym, Pees be with thee; drede thou not, thou schalt not die.
Men, Seyè a di l' konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè. Poze san ou. Ou p'ap mouri pou sa.
24 Therfor Gedeon bildide there an auter to the Lord, and he clepide it the Pees of the Lord, `til in to present dai. And whanne he was yit in Effra, which is of the meynee of Ezri, the Lord seide to hym in that nyyt,
Jedeyon bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a la menm. Epi li rele l': Seyè a bay kè poze. Jouk jòdi a lotèl la la nan ti bouk Ofra a, sou pwopryete ki pou moun Abyezè yo.
25 Take thou `the bole of thy fadir, and anothir bole of seuene yeer, and thou schalt distrie the auter of Baal, which is thi fadris, and kitte thou doun the wode, which is aboute the auter;
Menm jou lannwit sa a, Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Pran towo bèf papa ou la, ansanm ak yon lòt towo ki gen sètan. Kraze lotèl papa ou te fè pou Baal la. Koupe poto Achera ki bò kote l' la.
26 and thou schalt bilde an auter to thi Lord God in the hiynesse of this stoon, on which thou puttidist sacrifice bifore; and thou schalt take the secounde bole, and thou schalt offre brent sacrifice on the heep of trees, whiche thou kittidist doun of the wode.
Moute sou ti bit sa a, bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la, jan yo konn fè l' la. Lèfini, pran dezyèm towo a, boule l' nèt sou lotèl la pou mwen nan dife w'a fè avèk moso poto Achera ou te koupe a.
27 Therfore Gedeon took ten men of hise seruauntis, and dide as the Lord comaundide to hym. Sotheli Gedeon dredde the hows of his fadir, and the men of that citee, and nolde do bi dai, but fillide alle thingis bi nyyt.
Jedeyon pran dis nan domestik li yo, epi li fè tou sa Seyè a te di l' fè. Men, li te pè fanmi l' yo ak lòt moun yo ki rete nan lavil la. Li pa t' fè sa lajounen, l' al fè l' lannwit.
28 And whanne men of that citee hadde rise eerly, thei sien the auter of Baal distried, and the wode kit doun, and the tothir bole put on the auter, that was bildid thanne.
Lè mesye yo ki rete nan lavil la leve granmaten, yo wè lotèl Baal la kraze, poto Achera a koupe, epi dezyèm towo a menm boule sou lotèl yo te bati la a.
29 And thei seiden togidere, Who hath do this? And whanne thei enqueriden the doer of the deed, it was seid, Gedeon, the sone of Joas, dide alle these thingis.
Yonn di lòt: Ki moun ki fè sa, en? Yo tonbe chache, yo t'ap mande moun ki jan sa fè fèt. Yo vin konnen se Jedeyon, pitit Joas la, ki te fè sa.
30 And thei seiden to Joas, Brynge forth thi sone hidur, that he die, for he distriede the auter of Baal, and kittide doun the wode.
Mesye yo al di Joas konsa: -Fè pitit gason ou lan soti vin jwenn nou isit la. Se pou n' touye l'! Li kraze lotèl Baal la, epi li koupe gwo poto Achera ki te bò kote l' la.
31 To whiche he answeride, Whether ye ben the venieris of Baal, that ye fiyte for hym? he that is aduersarie of hym, die, bifor that the `liyt of the morew dai come; if he is God, venge he hym silf of hym that castide doun his auter.
Joas reponn tout moun ki te kanpe devan l' yo. Li di yo: -Anhan! Se nou ki pou goumen pou Baal? Se nou ki pou defann li? Enben, moun ki vle goumen pou Baal gen pou l' mouri anvan solèy leve. Si Baal se yon bondye vre, se li ki pou defann tèt li. Se lotèl li a yo kraze!
32 Fro that dai Gedeon was clepid Gerobaal, for Joas hadde seid, Baal take veniaunce of hym that castide doun his auter.
Depi jou sa a yo rele Jedeyon Jewoubaal paske Joas te di: Kite Baal koresponn ak li, paske se lotèl Baal la li te kraze.
33 Therfor al Madian, and Amalech, and the puplis of the eest weren gadirid to gidere, and passiden Jordan, and settiden tentis in the valey of Jezrael.
Lè sa a, tout moun Madyan yo, tout moun Amalèk yo ak tout moun k'ap viv nan dezè a bò solèy leve yo mete tèt ansanm, yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, yo moute kan yo nan plenn Jizreyèl la.
34 Forsothe the spirit of the Lord clothide Gedeon; `and he sownede with a clarioun, and clepide to gidere the hows of Abiezer, that it schulde sue hym.
Lespri Seyè a desann sou Jedeyon. Li soufle nan yon kòn belye mouton, li rele tout gason nan fanmi Abyezè a vin jwenn li.
35 And he sente messangeris in to al Manasses, and he suede Gedeon; and he sente othere messangeris in to Aser, and Zabulon, and Neptalym, whiche camen to hym.
Apre sa, li voye mesaje nan tout peyi Manase a al rele moun yo pou yo vin jwenn li tou. Li voye mesaje nan peyi Asè, nan peyi Zabilon ak nan peyi Neftali. Tout moun sa yo moute vin jwenn li.
36 And Gedeon seide to the Lord, If thou makist saaf Israel bi myn hond, as thou hast spoke,
Lè sa a, Jedeyon di Bondye konsa: -Si se ou menm vre ki vle sèvi avè m' pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la,
37 Y schal putte this flees of wolle in the corn floor; if dew is in the flees aloone, and drynesse is in al the erthe, Y schal wite, that thou schalt delyuere Israel bi myn hond, as thou hast spoke.
men mwen mete yon moso lenn sou glasi a. Si denmen maten mwen wè gen lawouze sou moso lenn lan sèlman epi tout rès glasi a chèch, lè sa a m'a konnen se ou menm vre ki pral sèvi avè m' pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la.
38 And it was don so. And he roos bi nyyt, and whanne the flees was wrongun out, he fillide a pot with deew;
Se sa ki te rive vre. Nan denmen maten, lè Jedeyon leve byen bonè, li tòde moso lenn lan, li wete dlo ladan l' kont pou ta plen yon bòl.
39 and he seide eft to the Lord, Thi strong veniaunce be not wrooth ayens me, if Y asaie, `that is, axe a signe, yit onys, and seke a signe in the flees; Y preye, that the flees aloone be drie, and al the erthe be moist with deew.
Lèfini, Jedeyon di Bondye ankò: -Tanpri, pa fache sou mwen non! Kite m' di ou yon dènye bagay. Kite m' fè esperyans moso lenn lan yon lòt fwa ankò. Men, fwa sa a se pou moso lenn lan rete chèch, epi pou lawouze sou tout glasi a.
40 And the Lord dide in that nyyt, as Gedeon axide; and drynesse was in the flees aloone, and deew was in al the erthe.
Jou lannwit sa a, Bondye fè sa konsa vre: moso lenn lan te rete byen chèch, men te gen lawouze sou tout glasi a.
