1 Samyèl 14
1 Yon jou, Jonatan, pitit Sayil la, pale ak jenn gason ki t'ap pote zam li yo, li di l' konsa: -Ann al avè m'! Ann travèse lòt bò a, nan kan moun Filisti yo. Men Jonatan pa t' avèti papa l'.
And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not his father.
2 Sayil menm te moute kan li anba pye grenad Migwon an, sou lizyè peyi Gibeya a. Li te gen sisan (600) sòlda konsa avè l'.
And Saul sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him about six hundred men.
3 Prèt ki t'ap pote jile Bondye a te rele Akija. Se te pitit Akitoub, pitit frè Ikabòd la. Yo te pitit Fineas ki li menm te pitit Eli, ki te prèt Seyè a lavil Silo. Sòlda yo pa t' konnen Jonatan te pati.
And Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
4 Nan pas kote Jonatan t'ap chache janbe larivyè pou ale nan kan moun Filisti yo, te gen de gwo wòch, yonn chak bò pas la. Yonn te rele Bozès, lòt la Sene.
And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.
5 Yonn te sou bò nò anfas lavil Mikmas, lòt la sou bò sid anfas lavil Geba.
The one way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.
6 Jonatan di jenn gason an: -Ann janbe lòt bò nan kan moun Filisti yo, bann moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Seyè a. Ou pa janm konnen, Seyè a ka ede nou. Paske pa gen anyen ki ka anpeche l' fè nou genyen, nou te mèt anpil, nou te mèt pa anpil.
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [peradventure] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few.
7 Jenn gason an reponn li: -Fè sa ou gen nan lide ou. Ale non! M'ap kanpe avè ou!
And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that thine heart inclines toward: behold, I [am] with thee, my heart [is] as thy heart.
8 Jonatan di l': -Bon! Nou pral janbe lòt bò a epi n'ap kite yo wè nou.
And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.
9 Si yo di nou rete kote nou ye a, y'ap vin jwenn nou, n'ap rete kote nou ye a, nou p'ap mache sou yo.
If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against them.
10 Men, si yo di nou moute vin jwenn yo, enben! n'a mache sou yo. Paske, sa vle di Seyè a gen tan lage yo nan men nou.
[But] if they should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a sign to us.
11 Yo parèt kò yo, yo kite moun Filisti yo wè yo. Moun Filisti yo di: -Gade! Men kèk ebre k'ap soti nan twou kote yo te kache.
And they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves.
12 Sòlda Filisti yo rele Jonatan ak jenn gason an, yo di yo: -Moute vin jwenn nou non. Nou gen yon bagay pou n' di nou. Lè sa a, Jonatan di jenn gason an: -Swiv mwen. Seyè a lage yo nan men pèp Izrayèl la.
And the men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.
13 Jonatan grenpe moute sou men l' ak sou pye l' yo, jenn gason an t'ap swiv li. Jonatan atake moun Filisti yo, li jete yo atè. Jenn gason an menm t'ap touye yo dèyè l'.
And Jonathan went up on his hands and feet, and his armour-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he smote them, and his armour-bearer did smite [them] after him.
14 Nan premye atak sa a, Jonatan ak jenn gason an te touye vin sòlda konsa, sou yon ti teren ki pa t' menm mezire yon ka (1/4) kawo tè.
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.
15 Tout moun Filisti ki te nan kan an, nan tout plenn lan, vin pè anpil. Sòlda yo te mete an avangad yo ak tout rès lame a te vin pè tou. Tè a pran tranble, te gen yon gwo kouri nan tout peyi a.
And there was dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.
16 Faksyonnè Sayil te mete ap veye lavil Gibeya nan peyi moun Benjamen yo wè te gen yon sèl debandad nan mitan moun Filisti yo ki t'ap kouri tankou moun fou.
And the watchmen of Saul beheld in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.
17 Sayil di moun ki te avè l' yo: -Konte sòlda yo! Gade kilès ki pa la! Yo konte, yo pa jwenn ni Jonatan ni jenn gason ki te konn pote zam li yo.
And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not found.
18 Lè sa a, Sayil di Akija konsa: -Pwoche ak Bwat Kontra Bondye a isit. Li te di sa paske jou sa a se Akija ki t'ap pote bwat la devan pèp Izrayèl la.
And Saul said to Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel.
19 Pandan Sayil t'ap pale ak prèt la, kouri a te vin pi rèd nan mitan moun Filisti yo. Sayil di prèt la konsa: -Rete sou sa ou fè!
And it came to pass while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hands.
20 Li leve ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo, yo ale kote batay la te cho a. Moun Filisti yo menm te fin pèdi tèt yo, yo t'ap goumen yonn ak lòt.
And Saul went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbour, a very great confusion.
21 Gen kèk ebre ki te mete tèt yo bò kote moun Filisti yo, yo te la avèk yo nan kan an. Lè sa a, yo vire kont moun Filisti yo, yo mete yo bò moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te avèk Sayil ak Jonatan.
And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Moun pèp Izrayèl ki te kache nan mòn Efrayim yo vin tande moun Filisti yo t'ap kraze rak. Yo menm tou yo vini, yo lage kò yo nan batay la, yo t'ap kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo.
And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.
23 Se konsa jou sa a, Seyè a te sove pèp Izrayèl la. Yo rive jouk lòt bò lavil Bèt-Avenn, yo t'ap goumen toujou.
And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.
24 Jou sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te fèb anpil tèlman yo te grangou paske Sayil te pran yon gwo angajman devan tout pèp la, li te pase lòd sa a: -Madichon pou nenpòt moun ki va mete manje nan bouch li jòdi a anvan mwen pran revanj mwen sou lènmi m' yo. Se konsa pesonn nan peyi a pa t' manje anyen jou sa a.
And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.
25 Pèp la rive nan yon gwo rakbwa kote ki te gen anpil siwo myèl.
And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.
26 Siwo myèl t'ap koule konsa atè nan rakbwa a, men pesonn pa goute menm ladan l' paske yo te pè pou malè Sayil te di a pa rive yo.
And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.
27 Men, Jonatan pa t' konnen papa l' te bay pèp la prigad sa a. Sa li fè, li lonje baton ki te nan men l' lan, li tranpe bout baton an nan yon gato myèl, epi li mete l' nan bouch li. Lamenm, li santi li vin gen fòs ankò.
And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.
28 Men, yonn nan mesye yo di li: -Tout moun ap tonbe feblès, yo pa manje paske papa ou te ban nou prigad sa a, li te di: Madichon pou nenpòt moun ki manje anyen jòdi a.
And one of the people answered and said, Thy father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread to-day. And the people were very faint,
29 Jonatan reponn li: -Sa papa m' fè pèp la la a pa bon menm! Gade jan m' santi m' gen fòs ankò, paske mwen goute yon ti siwo myèl.
and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have tasted a little of this honey.
30 Si pèp la te manje nan manje li pran lakay moun Filisti yo jòdi a, koulye a èske nou wè kantite moun Filisti nou ta ka touye met sou sa nou touye deja yo?
Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater.
31 Jou sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo bat moun Filisti yo byen bat, depi lavil Mikmas jouk lavil Ajalon. Pèp la t'ap tonbe feblès tèlman yo te grangou.
And on that day he smote some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.
32 Se konsa yo lage kò yo sou sa yo te pran nan men lènmi yo: yo pran mouton, kabrit, gwo bèf, ti bèf, yo touye yo lamenm epi yo manje vyann lan ak tout san an ladan l'.
And the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and slew them on the ground, and the people ate with the blood.
33 Y' al di Sayil konsa: -Gade! Men pèp la ap peche kont Seyè a: Y'ap manje vyann ak tout san an ladan l'. Sayil di konsa: -Nou se yon bann lach! Woule yon gwo wòch bò isit la ban mwen.
And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.
34 Apre sa, li bay lòd sa a: -Gaye kò nou nan tout pèp la. Al di pou chak moun mennen bèf yo ak mouton yo ban mwen. Se isit la n'a touye yo, se isit la n'a manje yo pou nou pa fè peche kont Seyè a, pou nou pa manje vyann yo ak tout san yo ladan yo. Jou swa sa a, chak moun mennen bèt yo te genyen, yo touye yo la.
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them slay it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they slew [them] there.
35 Sayil bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a. Se te premye lotèl li te bati.
And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord.
36 Sayil di moun yo: -Ann desann dèyè moun Filisti yo. Ann pase nwit lan ap bat yo, n'a piye yo jouk bajou kase, n'a touye yo tout. Yo reponn li: -Fè sa ou wè ki bon! Men, prèt la di: -Ann gade sa Seyè a di nou sou sa!
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines this night, and let us plunder among them till the day break, and let us not leave a man among them. And they said, Do all that is good in thy sight: and the priest said, let us draw nigh hither to God.
37 Sayil mande Seyè a: -Eske se pou m' desann dèyè moun Filisti yo? Eske w'ap lage yo nan men pèp Izrayèl la? Men Seyè a pa reponn li jou sa a.
And Saul enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in that day.
38 Lè sa a, li rele tout chèf pèp la, li di yo: -Pwoche devan la a. Chache konnen ki peche nou te fè jòdi a.
And Saul said, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day.
39 Mwen bay pawòl mwen. Mwen fè sèman devan Seyè ki vivan an, li menm ki delivre pèp Izrayèl la, menm si se Jonatan, pitit mwen, ki koupab, se pou l' mouri. Pesonn pa louvri bouch yo di anyen.
For as the Lord lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.
40 Epi li di tout pèp Izrayèl la: -Nou menm kanpe bò isit. Mwen menm ak Jonatan, pitit gason m' lan, m'ap kanpe bò la. Pèp la di Sayil: -Fè sa ou wè ki bon!
And he said to all the men of Israel, Ye shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in thy sight.
41 Sayil di Seyè a: -Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Poukisa ou pa reponn mwen jòdi a? Seyè, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, tanpri, reponn mwen nan ourim ak toumim yo. Si se mwen menm osinon Jonatan ki koupab, w'a bay ourim yo. Men, si se yon moun nan pèp la ki koupab, w'a bay toumim yo. Seyè a fè yo konnen se bò Sayil ak Jonatan fòt la te ye, pèp la te pou anyen nan sa.
And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why hast thou not answered thy servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray thee, to thy people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and the people escaped.
42 Sayil di: -Koulye a, ant Jonatan avè m', di kilès nan nou de a ki koupab. Seyè a fè konnen se Jonatan.
And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and my son Jonathan: whomsoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.
43 Lè sa a, Sayil mande Jonatan: -Kisa ou fè? Jonatan reponn: -Mwen te pran ti gout siwo myèl nan pwent baton ki te nan men m' lan, mwen goute. Men mwen! Mwen pare pou m' mouri.
And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, lo! I [am to] die.
44 Sayil di li: -Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si mwen pa fè yo touye ou.
And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, thou shalt surely die to-day.
45 Men pèp la di Sayil konsa: -Se Jonatan ki te genyen bèl batay sa a pou pèp Izrayèl la, li pa ka mouri. Mande Bondye padon! Nou fè sèman devan Seyè ki vivan an, nou p'ap kite yon grenn cheve nan tèt li tonbe, paske se avèk lasistans Bondye li fè sa l' fè jòdi a. Se konsa moun yo enpoze yo touye Jonatan. Li pa mouri.
And the people said to Saul, Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not.
46 Apre sa, Sayil sispann kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo. Moun Filisti yo menm tounen nan peyi yo.
And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.
47 Apre yo te fin fè Sayil wa peyi Izrayèl la, li fè lagè ak tout lènmi l' yo alawonnbadè: ak moun Moab yo, moun Amon yo, moun Edon yo, ak wa lavil Soba yo, ak moun Filisti yo. Kote li pase, li genyen batay yo.
And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: whithersoever he turned, he was victorious.
48 Li te fè wè jan li te yon vanyan sòlda. Li bat ata moun Amalèk yo. Konsa, li delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba men tout moun ki t'ap piye l' yo.
And he wrought valiantly, and smote Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.
49 Men pitit gason Sayil te genyen: Se te Jonatan, Yichwi ak Malkichwa. Men non de pitit fi li yo: Pi gran an te rele Merab, pi piti a te rele Mikal.
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the first-born Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.
50 Madan Sayil te rele Akinoam. Se te pitit Akimas. Kòmandan lame a te rele Abnè. Se te pitit Nè, tonton Sayil.
And the name of his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.
51 Kich, papa Sayil, ak Nè, papa Abnè, te pitit gason Abiyèl.
And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son of Abiel.
52 Sayil pase tout lavi li ap mennen gwo batay ak moun Filisti yo. Chak fwa li te jwenn yon vanyan gason osinon yon moun ki te gen anpil fòs ak kouraj, li te mete l' nan lame li a.
And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
