Judges 3
1 And these [are] the nations which Jehovah left, to try Israel by them, all who have not 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 for the sake of the generations of the sons of Israel's knowing, to teach them war, only those who formerly have not known them) —
Konsa li ta rive ke jenerasyon a fis Israël ki pa t kon fè lagè, ta kapab enstwi.
3 five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite, and the Zidonian, and the Hivite inhabiting mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering in of 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 are to prove Israel by them, to know whether they obey the commands of Jehovah that He commanded their fathers 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 sons of Israel have dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite, the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
Fis Israël yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, Etyen ak Jebizyen yo, Amoreyen yo, Ferezyen yo ak Evyen yo.
6 and take their daughters to them for wives, and their daughters have given to their sons, and they serve their gods;
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 the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and forget Jehovah their God, and serve the Baalim and the shrines.
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 the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He selleth them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram-Naharaim, and the sons of Israel serve Chushan-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 the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth a saviour to the sons of Israel, and he saveth them — Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother;
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 the Spirit of Jehovah is upon him, and he judgeth Israel, and goeth out to battle, and Jehovah giveth unto his hand Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram, and strong is his hand against Chushan-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 the land resteth forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz dieth,
Alò, peyi a te vin gen repo pandan karant ane, men Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, te vin mouri.
12 and the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengtheneth Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because that they have done the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;
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 gathereth unto him the Bene-Ammon and Amalek, and goeth and smiteth Israel, and they possess the city of palms;
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 the sons of Israel serve Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
Fis Israël yo te sèvi Églon, wa Moab la, pandan dizuit ane.
15 And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth to them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a man — shut of his right hand), and the sons of Israel send by his hand a present to Eglon 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 Ehud maketh for himself a sword, and it hath two mouths (a cubit [is] its length), and he girdeth it under his long robe on his right thigh;
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 bringeth near the present to Eglon king of Moab, and Eglon [is] a very fat man.
Li te prezante kòb angajman an bay Églon, wa Moab la. Alò, Églon te yon mesye byen gra.
18 And it cometh to pass, when he hath finished to bring near the present, that he sendeth away the people bearing the present,
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 himself hath turned back from the graven images which [are] at Gilgal, and saith, 'A secret word I have unto thee, O king;' and he saith, 'Hush!' and go out from him do all those standing by 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 hath come unto him, and he is sitting in the upper chamber of the wall which he hath for himself, and Ehud saith, 'A word of God I have unto thee;' and he riseth from off 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 Ehud putteth forth his left hand, and taketh the sword from off his right thigh, and striketh it into his belly;
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 the haft also goeth in after the blade, and the fat shutteth on the blade, that he hath not drawn the sword out of his belly, and it goeth out at the fundament.
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 Ehud goeth out at the porch, and shutteth the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and hath bolted [it];
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 hath gone out, and his servants have come in, and look, and lo, the doors of the upper chamber are bolted, and they say, 'He is only covering his feet in the inner chamber of the wall.'
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 stay till confounded, and lo, he is not opening the doors of the upper chamber, and they take the key, and open, and lo, their lord is fallen to the earth — 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 escaped during their tarrying, and hath passed by the images, and is escaped to Seirath.
Alò, Éhud te chape pandan yo te mize a. Li te pase kote zidòl yo e te chape rive Seïra.
27 And it cometh to pass, in his coming in, that he bloweth with a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and go down with him do the sons of Israel from the hill-country, and he 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 saith unto them, 'Pursue after me, for Jehovah hath given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand;' and they go down after him, and capture the passages of the Jordan towards Moab, and have not permitted a man 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 smite Moab at that time, about ten thousand men, all robust, and every one a man of valour, and not a man hath escaped,
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 Moab is humbled in that day under the hand of Israel; and the land resteth eighty years.
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 hath been Shamgar son of Anath, and he smiteth the Philistines — six hundred men — with an ox-goad, and he saveth — he also — 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.
