1 Samyèl 13
1 Sayil te majè lè yo te fè l' wa. Li pase kèk tan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
2 Sayil chwazi twamil (3000) gason nan pèp Izrayèl la, epi li voye tout rès yo al lakay yo. Li pran demil gason, li fè yo rete avè l' lavil Mikmas ak nan mòn Betèl la. Lòt mil yo te avèk Jonatan, pitit gason Sayil la, lavil Gibeya nan peyi moun Benjamen yo.
Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
3 Jonatan touye chèf moun Filisti yo ki te rete lavil Gibeya a. Moun Filisti yo vin konn sa. Sayil voye moun kònen twonpèt nan tout peyi a pou avèti pèp ebre a.
Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
4 Nouvèl la gaye nan tout pèp Izrayèl la: Sayil te touye chèf moun Filisti yo. Koulye a moun Filisti yo pa vle wè pèp Izrayèl la. Se konsa tout pèp la vin jwenn Sayil lavil Gilgal, yo kanpe avè l'.
All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Moun Filisti yo menm, bò pa yo tou, sanble pou y' al atake pèp Izrayèl la. Yo te gen trantmil (30.000) cha lagè, simil (6000) kavalye. Pou sòlda apye menm, moun pa t' ka konte sa. Ou ta di grenn sab bò lanmè. Yo moute al pran pozisyon bò lavil Mikmas, sou bò solèy leve lavil Bètavenn.
The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
6 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè zafè a pa t' bon pou yo menm. Moun Filisti yo te atake moun pèp Izrayèl yo ak fòs. Pèp Izrayèl la vin pèdi espwa. Sa pa t' bon menm pou yo. Gen ladan yo ki al kache nan gwòt, nan twou wòch, dèyè gwo wòch, nan pi, nan twou anba tè.
When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.
7 Genyen ki menm janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, al nan peyi moun Gad yo ak moun Galarad yo. Sayil menm te lavil Gilgal toujou. Tout moun ki te avè l' yo t'ap tranble sitèlman yo te pè.
Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 Dapre dat Samyèl te fikse ba li a, li rete la sèt jou ap tann Samyèl. Sèt jou yo pase, Samyèl pa vin lavil Gilgal. Pèp la konmanse vire do yo kite Sayil.
He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
9 Lè Sayil wè sa, li di yo: -Mennen bèt pou boule nan dife yo ban mwen ansanm ak lòt ofrann pou mande Bondye padon yo. Epi li fè ofrann pou boule nan dife a.
Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
10 Li t'ap fini fè sèvis ofrann pou boule nan dife a lè Samyèl parèt. Sayil al kontre l' pou di l' bonjou.
It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11 Samyèl di li: -Kisa ou fè konsa? Sayil reponn li: -Mwen wè pèp la t'ap pati kite m'. Ou menm, ou pa t' vini lè ou te di ou t'ap vini an. Lèfini, moun Filisti yo t'ap sanble bò lavil Mikmas la.
Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
12 Mwen di nan kè m': Men moun Filisti yo pral vin atake m' isit la lavil Gilgal, epi mwen pa fè anyen pou mete Seyè a bò kote m'. Se konsa mwen pran sou kont mwen pou m' fè ofrann bèt pou boule nan dife pou Seyè a.
therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of the LORD.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
13 Samyèl di Sayil konsa: -Se bagay moun fou ou fè la a! Ou pa swiv lòd Seyè a, Bondye ou la, te ba ou. Si ou te swiv lòd li, li ta kite ou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la, lèfini pitit ou yo ta ranplase ou jouk sa kaba.
Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
14 Men koulye a, rèy ou pa la pou lontan. Seyè a pral chache yon lòt moun ki va fè tou sa l'a vle l' fè, l'a mete l' chèf sou pèp li a, tou sa paske ou pa t' swiv lòd Seyè a te ba ou a.
But now your kingdom will not continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.”
15 Epi Samyèl leve, li kite lavil Gilgal l' al fè wout li. Tout rès pèp la pran swiv Sayil ki leve al jwenn sòlda li yo. Yo pati kite Gilgal, y' ale lavil Gibeya nan peyi moun Benjamen yo. Sayil fè enspeksyon lame ki te avè l' la. Te gen sisan (600) sòlda konsa.
Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Sayil rete nan peyi moun Benjamen yo ansanm ak Jonatan, pitit gason l' lan, ak moun ki te avè l' yo. Moun Filisti yo menm pran pozisyon lavil Mikmas.
Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 Sòlda Filisti yo soti kote yo te ye a pou y' al kraze brize. Yo fè twa gwoup. Yon gwoup pran chemen ki mennen lavil Ofra nan peyi Chwal la.
The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
18 Yon lòt gwoup pran chemen ki mennen lavil Bètowon, ak yon lòt gwoup pran chemen ki mennen sou fwontyè a, kote moun ka donminen tout fon Zeboyim lan ale nan dezè a.
another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 Lè sa a, nan tan sa a, nan tout peyi Izrayèl la yo pa t' ka jwenn fòjon paske moun Filisti yo te soti pou pa kite ebre yo fè ni nepe ni lans fè.
Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;
20 Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te blije al lakay moun Filisti yo pou fè dan chari yo, wou yo, rach yo ak kouto digo yo.
but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.
21 Moun Filisti yo te mande yo yon ti pyès ajan pou file chak dan rach epi pou fè pwent frenn yo, de ti pyès ajan pou fè dan chari yo ak pwent wou yo.
The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.
22 Se sa ki fè, lè jou batay la rive, pa t' gen yonn nan mesye ki te avèk Sayil ak Jonatan yo ki te gen yon nepe osinon yon lans fè. Sèl Sayil ak Jonatan, pitit gason l' lan, te gen yonn pou yo chak.
So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
23 Moun Filisti yo voye yon ganizon al defann pas Mikmas la.
The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
