1 Samyèl 4
1 Chak fwa Samyèl te pale tout pèp la te koute l'. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la soti pou y' al goumen ak moun Filisti yo. Konsa, yo moute kan yo bò lavil Ebenezè. Moun Filisti yo menm moute kan pa yo lavil Afèk.
And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer, and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
2 Moun Filisti yo pran pozisyon anfas moun Izrayèl yo pou yo goumen. Epi batay la konmanse. Moun Filisti yo bat moun Izrayèl yo byen bat, yo touye katmil (4000) moun konsa nan plenn kote yo t'ap goumen an.
And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. And when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines; and they killed of the army in the field about four thousand men.
3 Lè sa a, sa ki te chape yo tounen nan kan yo a, tout chèf ki te reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la di: -Poukisa Seyè a kite moun Filisti yo bat nou konsa jòdi a? Ann al pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki lavil Silo pou li ka nan mitan nou. Konsa l'a delivre nou anba men lènmi nou yo.
And when the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why has Jehovah smitten us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of Shiloh to us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4 Se konsa yo voye kèk moun lavil Silo. Yo pran Bwat Kontra Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Seyè ki chita sou fotèy li anwo zanj cheriben yo. Yo pote l' vini. Tout de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, te la ansanm ak Bwat Kontra a.
So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who sits above the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 Lè Bwat Kontra Seyè a rive nan kan an, tout moun Izrayèl yo bay yon sèl gwo rèl, tè a tranble.
And when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
6 Moun Filisti yo tande rèl la, yo di: -Pouki tout gwo rèl sa a nan kan moun Izrayèl yo? Lè yo vin konnen se Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki te rive nan kan an,
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What is the meaning of the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of Jehovah came into the camp.
7 yo vin pè, yo t'ap di: -Bondye moun sa yo rive nan kan yo a. Nou nan ka, devenn pa nou! Bagay konsa pa janm rive nou anvan sa!
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God has come into the camp. And they said, Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing heretofore.
8 Ala devenn pou nou, mezanmi! Ki moun ki ka delivre nou anba men bondye sa yo ki plen pouvwa? Se bondye sa yo ki te voye tout kalite malè sou moun Lejip yo nan dezè a.
Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness.
9 Se pou nou mete gason sou nou, nou menm moun Filisti, pou nou pa tounen esklav ebre yo menm jan yo te esklav nou an. Se pou n' goumen tankou vanyan gason!
Be strong, and strengthen yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Conduct yourselves like men, and fight.
10 Moun Filisti yo goumen rèd mare, yo bat moun Izrayèl yo ki kouri chape al lakay yo. Se te yon gwo kou pou pèp Izrayèl la. Te gen trantmil (30000) sòlda apye ki te mouri nan lame pèp Izrayèl la.
And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his tent. And there was a very great slaughter, for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11 Moun Filisti yo te sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a epi tou de pitit Eli yo, Ofni ak Fineas, te mouri.
And the ark of God was taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were killed.
12 Yon nonm nan branch fanmi Benjamen an te pran kouri depi kote yo t'ap goumen an jouk lavil Silo. Li rive menm jou a. Li te chire rad sou li, li te mete pousyè sou tèt li pou fè wè jan li te nan lapenn.
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn, and with dirt upon his head.
13 Eli menm te chita sou chèz li a bò wout la ap veye paske kè l' pa t' poze pou Bwat Kontra Bondye a. Nonm lan lage nouvèl la nan tout lavil la. Tout moun t'ap pouse rèl tèlman yo te pè.
And when he came, lo, Eli was sitting upon his seat by the wayside watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
14 Eli tande bri a, li mande: -Pouki tout bri sa a? Nonm lan kouri pote nouvèl la bay Eli.
And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What does the noise of this tumult mean? And the man hastened, and came and told Eli.
15 Eli te gen katrevendizwitan sou tèt li, li pa t' wè menm nan je l' ankò.
Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see.
16 Nonm lan di Eli konsa: -Mwen fèk soti kote yo t'ap goumen an, mwen chape kò m' nan batay la vin isit la. Eli di l': -Ki jan sa pase, pitit mwen!
And the man said to Eli, I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army. And he said, How did the matter go, my son?
17 Mesaje a reponn, li di l' konsa: -Moun Izrayèl yo kouri pou moun Filisti yo ki touye anpil moun nan pèp la. De pitit gason ou yo, Ofni ak Fineas, mouri. Moun Filisti yo sezi Bwat Kontra Bondye a.
And he who brought the news answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. And thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
18 Nonmen nonm lan nonmen Bwat Kontra a, Eli sot tonbe sou chèz la, li blayi atè devan pòtay la. Li te fin granmoun epi li te gwo anpil. Nwa kou l' kase sèk, li mouri. Li te pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate. And his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19 Bèlfi Eli a, madanm Fineas, te ansent, li t'ap tann jou pou l' akouche. Lè li tande yo te pran Bwat Kontra Bondye a, epi bòpè l' ansanm ak mari l' te mouri, lamenm tranche pran l', li akouche.
And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered. And when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and brought forth, for her pains came upon her.
20 Men, medam ki te la avè l' yo wè l'ap mouri, yo di l' konsa: -Pran kouraj, machè! Ou fè yon pitit gason. Men li pa reponn anyen, li pa okipe yo.
And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, Fear not, for thou have brought forth a son. But she did not answer, neither did she regard it.
21 Li rele ti gason an Ikabòd, epi li di: -Pèp Izrayèl la pèdi lasistans pouvwa Bondye a. Li t'ap di sa akòz Bwat Kontra Bondye yo te sezi a.
And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory has departed from Israel, because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22 Li t'ap di: -Wi, avèk Bwat Kontra Bondye yo pran an, pèp Izrayèl la pèdi lasistans pouvwa Bondye a.
And she said, The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God is taken.
