1 Samuel 11

1 And Nahash the Ammonite cometh up, and encampeth against Jabesh-Gilead, and all the men of Jabesh say unto Nahash, 'Make with us a covenant, and we serve thee.'

Yon mwa konsa apre bagay sa yo fin pase, Nakach, moun peyi Amon, moute al atake lavil Jabès nan peyi Galarad. Li sènen lavil la. Mesye lavil Jabès yo di Nakach konsa: -Ann siyen yon kontra. N'ap asepte ou pou chèf.

2 And Nahash the Ammonite saith unto them, 'For this I covenant with you, by picking out to you every right eye — and I have put it a reproach on all Israel.'

Men, Nakach reponn yo: -M'ap siyen kontra a avèk nou, men sou yon sèl kondisyon: m'ap pete je dwat nou tout. Konsa, m'a fè tout pèp Izrayèl la wont.

3 And the elders of Jabesh say to him, 'Let us alone seven days, and we send messengers into all the border of Israel: and if there is none saving us — then we have come out unto thee.'

Chèf lavil Jabès la di li: -Ban nou sèt jou pou nou voye mesaje bay tout pèp la nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Si pa gen pesonn pou sove nou, lè sa a n'a rann tèt nou ba ou.

4 And the messengers come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak the words in the ears of the people, and all the people lift up their voice and weep;

Mesaje yo rive lavil Gibeya kote Sayil te rete a. Lè yo bay pèp la mesaj la, tout moun pete rele byen fò.

5 and lo, Saul hath come after the herd out of the field, and Saul saith, 'What — to the people, that they weep?' and they recount to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

Sayil t'ap antre sot nan jaden ak bèf li yo. Li mande sa ki genyen, pouki tout moun t'ap rele konsa. Yo di l' sa moun lavil Jabès yo te vin di yo.

6 And the Spirit of God doth prosper over Saul, in his hearing these words, and his anger burneth greatly,

Tande li tande koze a, lespri Bondye desann sou li, epi li fè gwo kòlè.

7 and he taketh a couple of oxen, and cutteth them in pieces, and sendeth through all the border of Israel, by the hand of the messengers, saying, 'He who is not coming out after Saul and after Samuel — thus it is done to his oxen;' and the fear of Jehovah falleth on the people, and they come out as one man.

Li pran de bèf, li koupe yo an moso, epi li voye mesaje pote moso vyann bèf yo nan tout peyi Izrayèl la avèk mesaj sa a: -Tout moun ki va derefize mache dèyè Sayil ak Samyèl nan batay la, n'ap koupe bèf yo an moso tankou bèf sa a. Seyè a voye yon sèl lapè sou pèp la. Yo tout leve avèk menm lide nan tèt yo, yo vin jwenn Sayil.

8 And he inspecteth them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel are three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

Sayil sanble yo bò lavil Bezèk pou l' pase yo enspeksyon: Te gen twasan mil (300.000) sòlda ki te moun pèp Izrayèl ak trantmil (30.000) ki te moun fanmi Jida.

9 And they say to the messengers who are coming, 'Thus do ye say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye have safety — by the heat of the sun;' and the messengers come and declare to the men of Jabesh, and they rejoice;

Yo rele mesaje ki te soti lavil Jabès yo, yo di yo: -Men sa n'a di moun lavil Jabès yo nan peyi Galarad: Denmen, vè midi, n'a vin delivre nou. Lè moun lavil Jabès yo resevwa mesaj la yo te kontan anpil.

10 and the men of Jabesh say [to the Ammonites], 'To-morrow we come out unto you, and ye have done to us according to all that [is] good in your eyes.'

Yo voye di Nakach: -Denmen n'ap rann tèt nou ba ou. Lè sa a, w'a fè sa ou vle avèk nou.

11 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Saul putteth the people in three detachments, and they come into the midst of the camp in the morning-watch, and smite Ammon till the heat of the day; and it cometh to pass that those left are scattered, and there have not been left of them two together.

Nan denmen maten Sayil pran sòlda yo, li fè twa gwoup. Epi anvan solèy leve, yo kouri antre nan kan moun Amon yo, yo atake yo, yo bat yo. Li te midi yo t'ap touye moun toujou. Sa ki pa t' mouri yo kouri chape kò yo grenn pa grenn.

12 And the people say unto Samuel, 'Who is he that saith, Saul doth reign over us! give ye up the men, and we put them to death.'

Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la di Samyèl konsa: -Kote moun ki t'ap di Sayil pa ka wa nou? Lage yo nan men nou pou nou touye yo.

13 And Saul saith, 'There is no man put to death on this day, for to-day hath Jehovah wrought salvation in Israel.'

Men, Sayil di yo konsa: -Nou p'ap touye pesonn jòdi a. Paske jòdi a se jou Seyè a delivre pèp Izrayèl la.

14 And Samuel saith unto the people, 'Come and we go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there;'

Epi Samyèl di yo: -Leve non. Ann al lavil Gilgal. Lè n'a rive la, n'a fè seremoni pou renmèt li pouvwa a.

15 and all the people go to Gilgal, and cause Saul to reign there before Jehovah in Gilgal, and sacrifice there sacrifices of peace-offerings before Jehovah, and there Saul rejoiceth — and all the men of Israel — very greatly.

Se konsa tout moun moute lavil Gilgal. Yo fè Sayil wa devan lotèl Seyè a. Yo touye bèt yo te ofri pou di Bondye mèsi. Sayil fè gwo fèt ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo lavil Gilgal.
