1 Samyèl 10
1 Samyèl pran yon ti poban lwil oliv, li vide l' sou tèt Sayil. Apre sa, li bo l', epi li di l': -Seyè a ba ou pouvwa pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la ki rele l' pa l'. W'a gouvènen pèp li a, w'a delivre yo anba men tout lènmi ki bò kote l' yo. Men sa k'ap fè ou wè se Seyè a menm ki mete ou apa pou gouvènen pèp ki pou li a.
Then Samuel took a little vial of oil, and poured it on his head. And he kissed him, and said: “Behold, the Lord has anointed you as first ruler over his inheritance. And you shall free his people from the hands of their enemies, who are all around them. And this shall be a sign for you that God has anointed you as ruler:
2 Lè w'a kite m' jòdi a, w'a jwenn de mesye toupre tonm Rachèl la lavil Sèlza, nan lizyè peyi moun Benjamen yo. Y'a di ou bourik ou t'ap bouske yo, yo jwenn yo. Men, koulye a papa ou bliye bourik li yo, se pou ou li gen tèt chaje. L'ap mande: Kisa mwen pral fè pou pitit gason m' lan?
When you will have departed from me this day, you will find two men beside the sepulcher of Rachel, in the parts of Benjamin to the south. And they will say to you: ‘The donkeys have been found, which you had been seeking as you traveled. And your father, forgetting about the donkeys, has been anxious for you, and he says, “What shall I do about my son?”’
3 Lèfini, w'a mache pi devan jouk w'a rive bò pye bwadchenn Tabò a. Lè w'a rive la, w'a kontre ak twa nèg k'ap moute lavil Betèl pou y' al ofri bèt pou touye pou Bondye. Yonn ap mennen twa jenn ti kabrit, dezyèm lan va gen twa pen nan men l', twazyèm lan va gen yon veso fèt an po bèt plen diven.
And when you will have departed from there, and will have traveled farther, and will have arrived at the oak of Tabor, in that place three men, who are going up to God at Bethel, will find you. One will be bringing three young goats, and another three loaves of bread, and another will be carrying a bottle of wine.
4 Y'a di ou bonjou, y'a ba ou de nan pen yo. W'a pran yo nan men yo.
And when they will have greeted you, they will give you two loaves. And you shall accept these from their hand.
5 Apre sa, w'a moute sou ti mòn Bondye yo rele Gibeya a, kote yon lame moun Filisti moute ganizon yo. Lè w'ap antre nan lavil la, w'a kontre ak yon gwoup pwofèt k'ap desann soti bò lotèl ki sou ti mòn lan. Y'ap jwe gita, y'ap bat tanbou, y'ap jwe fif ak bandjo, y'ap danse, y'ap bay mesaj ki sot nan Bondye.
After these things, you shall arrive at the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is. And when you will have entered the city there, you will meet a company of prophets, descending from the high place, with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp before them, and they will be prophesying.
6 Lespri Bondye a va desann sou ou, w'a pran danse, w'ap bay mesaj ki soti nan Bondye tankou yo. Ou p'ap menm moun lan ankò.
And the Spirit of the Lord will spring up within you. And you shall prophesy with them, and you shall be changed into another man.
7 Lè bagay sa yo va rive, w'a fè tou sa ki vin pou fèt paske se Bondye k'ap avè ou.
Therefore, when these signs will have happened to you, do whatever your hand will find, for the Lord is with you.
8 Apre sa, w'a pran devan m', w'a desann lavil Gilgal kote m'a vin jwenn ou pita pou m' ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a ansanm ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Lèfini, w'a tann sèt jou anvan m'a vin jwenn ou ankò pou m' di ou sa pou ou fè.
And you shall descend before me into Gilgal, (for I will descend to you), so that you may offer an oblation, and may immolate victims of peace. For seven days, you shall wait, until I come to you, and reveal to you what you should do.”
9 Vire Sayil vire pou l' kite Samyèl, Bondye fè Sayil tounen yon lòt moun nèt. Jou sa a tout pawòl Samyèl te di l' yo rive vre.
And so, when he had turned his shoulder, so that he might go away from Samuel, God changed him to another heart. And all these signs occurred on that day.
10 Lè Sayil rive lavil Gibeya ak domestik li a, yon bann pwofèt vin kontre avè l'. Lespri Bondye a desann sou li epi li pran danse, li pran bay mesaj tankou yo.
And they arrived at the above-stated hill, and behold, a group of prophets met him. And the Spirit of the Lord leapt up within him, and he prophesied in their midst.
11 Tout moun ki te konnen l' anvan sa wè li t'ap danse, li t'ap bay mesaj ansanm ak pwofèt yo. Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Sa ki rive pitit gason Kich la? Sayil gen lè pwofèt tou?
Then all those who had known him yesterday and the day before, seeing that he was with the prophets, and that he was prophesying, said to one other: “What is this thing that has happened to the son of Kish? Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
12 Yon moun lavil Gibeya ki te la mande: -Lòt mesye pwofèt yo, ki moun ki papa yo? Se konsa moun te konmanse ap di: Gen lè menm Sayil pwofèt tou?
And one would respond to the other, saying, “And who is their father?” Because of this, it turned into a proverb, “Could Saul also be among the prophets?”
13 Lè Sayil fin danse, lè li te fin bay mesaj, li moute sou ti mòn lan bò lotèl la.
Then he ceased to prophesy, and he went to the high place.
14 Tonton Sayil la mande l' ansanm ak domestik li a: -Kote nou te ye konsa? Sayil reponn tonton l' lan: -Mwen t' al chache bourik yo. Lè nou pa jwenn yo, n' al kote Samyèl.
And the uncle of Saul said to him, and to his servant, “Where did you go?” And they responded: “To seek the donkeys. But when we did not find them, we went to Samuel.”
15 Tonton Sayil la mande l': -Rakonte m' sa li di ou.
And his uncle said to him, “Tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 Sayil reponn li: -Li di m' yo jwenn bourik yo deja. Men, li pa di tonton l' sa Samyèl te di l' sou koze wa a.
And Saul said to his uncle, “He told us that the donkeys would be found.” But the word about the kingdom, which Samuel had spoken to him, he did not reveal to him.
17 Samyèl reyini pèp Izrayèl la pou fè yon gwo sèvis pou Bondye lavil Mispa.
And Samuel called the people together, to the Lord at Mizpah.
18 Li di yo: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la di: Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la. Se mwen menm ki te delivre nou anba men moun Lejip yo, anba men moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap peze nou yo.
And he said to the sons of Israel: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: I led Israel away from Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kings who were afflicting you.
19 Se mwen menm Bondye nou an ki te pwoteje nou nan tout move pa, nan tout kè sere, epi koulye a n'ap voye m' jete, n'ap di m' se yon wa pou m' mete gouvènen nou! Enben, nou tout, vini non devan Seyè a. Sanble tout moun, branch fanmi pa branch fanmi, fanmi pa fanmi. Fè yo parèt devan li.
But today you have rejected your God, who alone saved you from all your evils and tribulations. And you have said: ‘By no means! Instead, appoint a king over us.’ Now therefore, stand in the sight of the Lord, by your tribes and by your families.”
20 Lè sa a, Samyèl fè tout pèp Izrayèl la pwoche branch fanmi pa branch fanmi. Seyè a chwazi branch fanmi Benjamen an.
And Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel, and the lot fell upon the tribe of Benjamin.
21 Apre sa, Samyèl fè tout fanmi branch Benjamen yo pwoche yonn apre lòt. Seyè a chwazi fanmi Matri a. Lè sa a, li fè tout gason nan fanmi Matri a parèt devan Seyè a, Bondye chwazi Sayil, pitit gason Kich la. Yo chache l', men yo pa t' ka jwenn li.
And he brought near the tribe of Benjamin, with its families, and the lot fell upon the family of Matri. And then it went to Saul, the son of Kish. Therefore, they sought him, but he was not found.
22 Y' al mande Seyè a si pa gen lòt moun ankò. Seyè a reponn: -Men Sayil kache dèyè pwovizyon yo!
And after these things, they consulted the Lord as to whether he would soon arrive there. And the Lord responded, “Behold, he is hidden at home.”
23 Se konsa yo kouri al wete l' la, yo mennen l', yo fè l' kanpe nan mitan pèp la. Li te pi wo pase yo tout.
And so they ran and brought him there. And he stood in the midst of the people, and he was taller than the entire people, from the shoulders upward.
24 Samyèl di pèp la: -Men moun Seyè a chwazi a. Pa gen tankou l' nan mitan pèp la. Tout pèp la pran rele: -Viv wa Sayil!
And Samuel said to all the people: “Certainly, you see the one whom the Lord has chosen, that there is not anyone like him among all the people.” And all the people cried out and said, “Long live the king!”
25 Apre sa, Samyèl esplike pèp la ki jan pou wa a boule ak yo. Lèfini, li ekri tou sa li te di yo nan yon liv li mete devan lotèl Seyè a. Apre sa, Samyèl voye tout moun lakay yo.
Then Samuel spoke to the people the law of the kingdom, and he wrote it in a book, and he stored it in the sight of the Lord. And Samuel dismissed all the people, each one to his own house.
26 Sayil tou al lakay li lavil Gibeya. Bondye te pale nan kè kèk vanyan gason. Yo menm tou, y' ale ansanm ak Sayil.
And then Saul went away to his own house at Gibeah. And a portion of the army, whose hearts had been touched by God, went away with him.
27 Men te gen kèk vòryen ki t'ap di: -Ki jan jenn gason sa a ka rive delivre nou? Yo pa okipe Sayil menm, yo pa fè l' kado anyen. Sayil menm fè tankou li pa konprann.
Yet the sons of Belial said, “How could this one be able to save us?” And they despised him, and they brought him no presents. But he pretended not to hear them.
