Jij 15
1 Kèk tan apre sa, pandan rekòt ble a, Samson al rann madanm li vizit. Li te pote yon jenn ti kabrit pou li. Li di bòpè li: -Mwen pral antre nan chanm madanm mwen! Men, bòpè a pa t' kite l' antre.
But within a while after, in the time of wheate haruest, Samson visited his wife with a kid, saying, I wil go in to my wife into the chamber: but her father would not suffer him to goe in.
2 Li di Samson konsa: -Mwen te kwè ou te rayi l'! Se konsa, mwen pran l' bay pi bon zanmi ou lan. Men, ti sè l' la pi bèl pase l'. Ou te mèt pran ti sè a nan plas gran sè a.
And her father sayde, I thought that thou hadst hated her: therefore gaue I her to thy companion. Is not her yonger sister fayrer then shee? take her, I pray thee, in stead of the other.
3 Samson di yo: -Fwa sa a, si m' fè moun Filisti yo kichòy, piga pesonn vin di m' anyen.
Then Samson saide vnto them, Nowe am I more blamelesse then the Philistims: therefore will I doe them displeasure.
4 L' ale, li pran twasan (300) chen mawon. Li mare yo nan ke de pa de, ak yon bwa chandèl nan mitan ke yo.
And Samson went out, and tooke three hundreth foxes, and tooke firebrands, and turned them taile to taile, and put a firebrand in ye middes betweene two tailes.
5 Apre sa, li mete dife nan bwa chandèl yo, epi li lage chen mawon yo nan jaden ble moun Filisti yo. Dife boule dènye ble moun yo, non sèlman ble ki kase deja yo, men tou ble ki te sou pye toujou. Dife a boule ata jaden rezen yo ak jaden oliv yo.
And when he had set the brandes on fire, he sent them out into the standing corne of the Philistims, and burnt vp both the rickes and the standing corne with the vineyardes and oliues.
6 Lè sa a, moun Filisti yo mande: -Ki moun ki fè sa? Yo di yo: -Se Samson, bofi nonm lavil Timna a, ki fè l', paske bòpè l' te pran madan Samson, li bay yon bon zanmi Samson. Se konsa moun Filisti yo ale yo boule madanm lan ansanm ak papa l' nan kay la.
Then the Philistims sayde, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson the sonne in law of the Timnite, because hee had taken his wife, and giuen her to his companion. Then the Philistims came vp and burnt her and her father with fire.
7 Samson di yo: -Anhan! Se konsa nou fè sa? Bon. Mwen p'ap sispann toutotan mwen pa fin fè nou peye sa nou fè m' la a.
And Samson saide vnto them, Though yee haue done this, yet wil I be auenged of you, and then I wil cease.
8 Se konsa, li atake yo avèk raj, li touye anpil ladan yo. Apre sa, l' ale rete nan yon twou wòch bò lavil Etam.
So hee smote them hippe and thigh with a mightie plague: then hee went and dwelt in the top of the rocke Etam.
9 Moun Filisti yo al moute kan yo nan peyi Jida, epi yo atake lavil Leki.
Then the Philistims came vp, and pitched in Iudah, and were spred abroad in Lehi.
10 Moun peyi Jida yo mande yo: -Poukisa nou vin atake nou? Yo reponn: -Nou vin isit la pou n' mare Samson, pou n' fè l' pase menm sa li te fè nou pase a.
And the men of Iudah sayde, Why are yee come vp vnto vs? And they answered, To binde Samson are we come vp, and to do to him as hee hath done to vs.
11 Lè sa a, twamil (3000) gason peyi Jida desann bò twou wòch Etam lan, epi yo di Samson: -Gen lè ou pa konnen se moun Filisti yo ki chèf nan peyi nou an? Poukisa ou fè nou sa? Li reponn yo: -Mwen fè yo menm sa yo te fè m' lan.
Then three thousande men of Iudah went to the top of the rocke Etam, and sayde to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistims are rulers ouer vs? Wherefore then hast thou done thus vnto vs? And he answered them, As they did vnto me, so haue I done vnto them.
12 Yo di l': -Nou vin isit la pou nou mare ou, pou nou ka mennen ou bay moun Filisti yo. Samson di yo: -Fè m' sèman nou p'ap touye m', nou menm!
Againe they sayd vnto him, Wee are come to binde thee, and to deliuer thee into the hande of the Philistims. And Samson sayde vnto them, Sweare vnto me, that yee will not fall vpon me your selues.
13 Yo di l': -O non! N'ap annik mare ou, epi n'ap mennen ou bay moun Filisti yo. Nou p'ap touye ou! Yo pran de kòd tou nèf, yo mare l' byen mare epi yo tounen avè l' soti nan twou wòch la.
And they answered him, saying, No, but we will bynde thee and deliuer thee vnto their hande, but we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two newe cordes, and brought him from the rocke.
14 Lè yo rive lavil Leki, moun Filisti yo kouri vin kontre avè l', yo t'ap rele sitèlman yo te kontan yo te pran li. Lespri Seyè a desann sou Samson. Epi li kase kòd ki te mare de bra l' yo. Moso kòd yo tonbe atè, ou ta di fil ki boule nan dife.
When hee came to Lehi, the Philistims shouted against him, and the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and the cordes that were vpon his armes, became as flaxe that was burnt with fire: for the bandes loosed from his handes.
15 Li jwenn zo machwè yon bourik ki te fenk mouri, li lonje men l', li pran l', li touye mil (1000) moun avè l'.
And he found a new iawebone of an asse, and put forth his hand, and caught it, and slewe a thousand men therewith.
16 Lèfini, li pran chante, li di: -Avèk yon zo machwè bourik mwen touye mil moun. Avèk yon zo machwè bourik mwen bat yo byen bat.
Then Samson sayd, With the iaw of an asse are heapes vpon heapes: with the iawe of an asse haue I slaine a thousand men.
17 Lè li fin di sa, li voye zo machwè bourik la jete. Li rele kote l' te ye a: Mòn zo machwè.
And when he had left speaking, hee cast away the iawebone out of his hande, and called that place, Ramath-Lehi.
18 Apre sa, Samson vin anvi bwè dlo. Li rele Seyè a, li di: -Ou fin fè m' genyen bèl batay sa a. Koulye a, w'ap kite m' mouri swaf dlo pou bann moun ki p'ap sèvi ou yo mete men sou mwen!
And he was sore a thirst, and called on the Lord, and sayde, Thou hast giuen this great deliuerance into the hand of thy seruaunt: and nowe shall I dye for thirst, and fall into the handes of the vncircumcised?
19 Lè sa a, Bondye louvri yon twou nan tè a bò lavil Leki a, epi dlo pete soti ladan l'. Samson bwè dlo, li santi l' refè. Se poutèt sa yo rele sous sa a Sous Akore. Sous sa a la bò lavil Leki jouk jòdi a.
Then God brake the cheeke tooth, that was in the iawe, and water came thereout: and when he had drunke, his Spirit came againe, and he was reuiued: wherefore the name therof is called, Enhakkore, which is in Lehi vnto this day.
20 Samson gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la pandan ventan sou rèy moun Filisti yo.
And hee iudged Israel in the dayes of the Philistims twentie yeeres.
