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 the vial of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you to be ruler over his people Israel? And you shall rule over the people of the LORD, and you shall save them out of the hand of their enemies all around. And this shall be the sign to you that the LORD has anointed you to be ruler over his inheritance.
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 have departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will tell you, 'The donkeys which you went to seek have been found; and look, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, "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.
Then you will go on further from there and you will come to the oak of Tabor, and three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you. One will be carrying three young goats, and another carrying three containers of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.
4 Y'a di ou bonjou, y'a ba ou de nan pen yo. W'a pran yo nan men yo.
And they will greet you and give you two wave offerings of bread, which you shall accept 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 that you shall come to Gibeath Elohim, where the Philistine garrison is. And it shall happen, when you have come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with harps, and tambourines, and flutes, and lyres 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 come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be transformed into a different person.
7 Lè bagay sa yo va rive, w'a fè tou sa ki vin pou fèt paske se Bondye k'ap avè ou.
And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do as the occasion demands, for God 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.
You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and look, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: you shall wait seven days, until I come to you, and show you what you shall 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.
When he had turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart, and all these signs came to pass 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 he went from there to Gibeah, and look, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.
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?
It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, look, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, "What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also 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?
One of the same place answered, "Who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
13 Lè Sayil fin danse, lè li te fin bay mesaj, li moute sou ti mòn lan bò lotèl la.
And when he had finished prophesying, and went home,
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.
then his uncle said to him and to his servant, "Where did you go?" And he said, "To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we went to Samuel."
15 Tonton Sayil la mande l': -Rakonte m' sa li di ou.
Saul's uncle said, "Please 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.
Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly that the donkeys were found." But concerning the matter of the kingdom he did not tell him.
17 Samyèl reyini pèp Izrayèl la pou fè yon gwo sèvis pou Bondye lavil Mispa.
Samuel called the people together to the LORD to 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 children of Israel, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed 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 you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said, 'No. Set a king over us.' Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands."
20 Lè sa a, Samyèl fè tout pèp Izrayèl la pwoche branch fanmi pa branch fanmi. Seyè a chwazi branch fanmi Benjamen an.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
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.
He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of the Matrites was taken. And he brought the family of the Matrites near man by man, and Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found.
22 Y' al mande Seyè a si pa gen lòt moun ankò. Seyè a reponn: -Men Sayil kache dèyè pwovizyon yo!
Therefore they asked of the LORD further, "Is there a man yet to come here?" The LORD answered, "Look, he has hidden himself among the baggage."
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.
They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and 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!
Samuel said to all the people, "You see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, "Let the king live."
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 told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it on a scroll, and laid it up before the LORD. Samuel sent all the people away, every man went to his place
26 Sayil tou al lakay li lavil Gibeya. Bondye te pale nan kè kèk vanyan gason. Yo menm tou, y' ale ansanm ak Sayil.
Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and there went with him the valient men, whose hearts the LORD had touched.
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.
But certain worthless fellows said, "How shall this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no present. Now Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was severely oppressing the Gadites and the Reubenites. He put out the right eye of all of them, and he would not allow anyone to rescue Israel. Not one was left of the children of Israel beyond the Jordan whose right eye Nahash, king of the Ammonites, did not put out, except for seven thousand men who had escaped from the Ammonites and went to Jabesh Gilead.
