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 the day comes that Jonathan son of Saul says to the young man carrying his weapons, “Come, and we pass over to the station of the Philistines, which [is] on the other side of this”; and he has not declared [it] to 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 is abiding at the extremity of Gibeah, under the pomegranate which [is] in Migron, and the people who [are] with him [are] 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 Ahiah, son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas son of Eli priest of YHWH in Shiloh, [was] bearing an ephod; and the people did not know that Jonathan has 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 between the passages where Jonathan sought to pass over to the station of the Philistines [is] the edge of a rock on one side, and the edge of a rock on the other side, and the name of one is Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

5 Yonn te sou bò nò anfas lavil Mikmas, lòt la sou bò sid anfas lavil Geba.

One edge [is] fixed on the north in front of Michmash, and the one on the south in front of Gibeah.

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 says to the young man carrying his weapons, “Come, and we pass over to the station of these uncircumcised; it may be YHWH works for us, for there is no restraint to YHWH 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 the bearer of his weapons says to him, “Do all that [is] in your heart; turn for yourself; behold, I [am] with you, as your own heart.”

8 Jonatan di l': -Bon! Nou pral janbe lòt bò a epi n'ap kite yo wè nou.

And Jonathan says, “Behold, we are passing over to the men, and are revealed to 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 thus say to us, Stand still until we have come to you, then we have stood in our place, and do not go up to 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.

and if they thus say, Come up against us, then we have gone up, for YHWH has given them into our hand, and this [is] the 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 both of them are revealed to the station of the Philistines, and the Philistines say, “Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid 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 the station answer Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons, and say, “Come up to us, and we cause you to know something.” And Jonathan says to the bearer of his weapons, “Come up after me, for YHWH has given them into the hand 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 goes up on his hands, and on his feet, and the bearer of his weapons after him; and they fall before Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons is putting [them] to death 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 striking which Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons have struck is of about twenty men, in about half a furrow of a yoke of a 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 is a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the station and the destroyers have trembled—even they, and the earth shakes, and it becomes a trembling of God.

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 in Gibeah of Benjamin see, and behold, the multitude has melted away, and it goes on, and is beaten down.

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 says to the people who [are] with him, “Now inspect and see; who has gone from us?” And they inspect, and behold, Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons are not.

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 says to Ahiah, “Bring the Ark of God near”; for the Ark of God has been with the sons of Israel on that day.

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 comes to pass, while Saul spoke to the priest, that the noise which [is] in the camp of the Philistines goes on, going on and becoming great, and Saul says to the priest, “Remove your hand.”

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 is called, and all the people who [are] with him, and they come to the battle, and behold, the sword of each has been against his neighbor—a very great destruction.

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 Hebrews [who] have been with the Philistines before the day prior, who had gone up with them into the camp, have turned around, even they, to be with Israel who [are] 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 men of Israel, who are hiding themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, have heard that the Philistines have fled, and they pursue—even they—after them in battle.

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 YHWH saves Israel on that day, and the battle has passed over to Beth-Aven.

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 the men of Israel have been distressed on that day, and Saul adjures the people, saying, “Cursed [is] the man who eats food until the evening, and I have been avenged of my enemies”; and none of the people have tasted food.

25 Pèp la rive nan yon gwo rakbwa kote ki te gen anpil siwo myèl.

And all [those of] the land have come into a forest, and there is honey on the face of the field;

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 come into the forest, and behold, the honey dropped, and none is moving his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

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 has not heard of his father’s adjuring the people, and puts forth the end of the rod, which [is] in his hand, and dips it in the honeycomb, and brings back his hand to his mouth—and his eyes see!

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 a man of the people answers and says, “Your father certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who eats food today; and the people are weary.”

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 says, “My father has troubled the land; now see that my eyes have become bright because I 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?

How much more if the people had well eaten today of the spoil of its enemies which it has found, for now the striking has not been great among the Philistines.”

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 they strike on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people are 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 make toward the spoil, and take sheep, and oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughter on the earth, and the people eat 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 they declare to Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against YHWH, to eat with the blood.” And he says, “You have dealt treacherously, roll a great stone to me today.”

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 says, “Be scattered among the people, and you have said to them: Each bring his ox to me, and each his sheep; and you have slain [them] in this place, and eaten, and you do not sin against YHWH to eat with the blood.” And all the people bring [them]—each one [with] his ox in his hand, that night—and slaughter [them] there.

35 Sayil bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a. Se te premye lotèl li te bati.

And Saul builds an altar to YHWH; with it he has begun to build altars to YHWH.

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 says, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and we prey on them until the morning light, and do not leave a man of them.” And they say, “Do all that is good in your eyes.” And the priest says, “Let us draw near to God here.”

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 asks of God, “Do I go down after the Philistines? Do You give them into the hand of Israel?” And He has not answered him on 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 says, “Everyone draw near here, the chiefs of the people, and know and see in what this sin has been today;

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 YHWH lives, who is saving Israel: surely if it is in my son Jonathan, surely he certainly dies”; and none is answering him 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 says to all Israel, “You are on one side, and I and my son Jonathan are on another side”; and the people say to Saul, “Do that which is good in your eyes.”

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 says to YHWH, God of Israel, “Give perfection”; and Jonathan and Saul are captured, and the people went out.

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 says, “Cast between me and my son Jonathan”; and Jonathan is captured.

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 says to Jonathan, “Declare to me, what have you done?” And Jonathan declares to him and says, “I certainly tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that [is] in my hand; behold, I die!”

44 Sayil di li: -Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si mwen pa fè yo touye ou.

And Saul says, “Thus God does, and thus does He add, for you certainly die, Jonathan.”

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 say to Saul, “Does Jonathan die who worked this great salvation in Israel? Certainly not! YHWH lives, if there falls to the earth [even one] hair from his head, for with God he has worked this day”; and the people rescue Jonathan, and he has not died.

46 Apre sa, Sayil sispann kouri dèyè moun Filisti yo. Moun Filisti yo menm tounen nan peyi yo.

And Saul goes up from after the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone 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 captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fights all around against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and wherever he turns he distresses [them].

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 makes a force, and strikes Amalek, and delivers Israel out of the hand of its spoiler.

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 are Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-Shua; as for the name of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn [is] Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;

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 the wife of Saul [is] Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the head of his host [is] Abner son of Ner, uncle of Saul;

51 Kich, papa Sayil, ak Nè, papa Abnè, te pitit gason Abiyèl.

and Kish [is] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, [is] the son of Ahiel.

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 is severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul; when Saul has seen any mighty man, and any son of valor, then he gathers him to himself.
