< Jij 20 >

1 Tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt, depi lavil Dann nan nò jouk lavil Bècheba nan sid, pase nan peyi Galarad, tout pèp la nèt kanpe. Yo reyini ansanm devan Seyè a, lavil Mispa.
And all the children of Israel went forth, and the assembly gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah at Mizpah.
2 Tout chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak tout lòt chèf pèp Izrayèl la te sanble la devan Seyè a. Te gen katsanmil (400.000) sòlda apye antou.
And the heads of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the congregation of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
3 Moun Benjamen yo vin konnen rès pèp Izrayèl la te moute lavil Mispa. Moun Izrayèl yo mande: -Manyè di nou ki jan bagay lèd sa a fè rive.
And the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. And the children of Israel said, Tell [us], how was this wickedness?
4 Moun Levi a, mari fanm yo te sasinen an, reponn: -Mwen te ale lavil Gibeya nan peyi Benjamen an ansanm ak fanm kay mwen pou m' te pase nwit.
Then the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said, I came to Gibeah that [belongs] to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
5 Mesye lavil Gibeya yo te soti pou vin pran m' nan mitan lannwit lan, yo sènen kay kote m' te ye a. Yo te vle touye m'. Yo fè kadejak sou fanm kay mwen an, epi li mouri.
And the citizens of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house because of me, by night; they thought to slay me, and my concubine have they humbled so that she died.
6 Mwen pran kadav la, mwen koupe l' an moso, epi mwen voye moso yo toupatou nan peyi Izrayèl la, paske moun Benjamen yo te fè yon vye bagay derespektan, yon move bagay nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
Then I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and villany in Israel.
7 Nou tout isit la se moun pèp Izrayèl la nou ye. Sa nou di nan sa? Sa nou pral fè?
Behold, all ye, children of Israel, deliberate and give here [your] counsel.
8 Tout pèp la kanpe ansanm, epi yo di: -Pesonn nan nou la a pa pral lakay li, kit li rete lavil, kit li rete andeyò.
And all the people rose up as one man, saying, We will not any one go to his tent, neither will we any one turn into his house.
9 Men sa nou pral fè: nou pral tire osò pou n' chwazi kèk moun pou al regle moun lavil Gibeya yo.
But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: [we go] by lot against it;
10 Lèfini n'ap pran yon moun sou dis nan chak branch fanmi yo pou al chache manje pou moun ki pral regle moun lavil Gibeya yo pou vye bagay derespektan yo te fè nan peyi Izrayèl la.
and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the villany that they have wrought in Israel.
11 Se konsa tout pèp Izrayèl la te mete tèt yo ansanm pou y' al pini moun lavil Gibeya yo.
And all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
12 Lòt branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo te voye mesaje nan tout peyi moun Benjamen yo pou di yo: -Ki vye krim sa a nou tande ki fèt konsa lakay nou?
And the tribes of Israel sent men to all the families of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that has been done among you?
13 Koulye a ban nou moun sa yo, bann vòryen lavil Gibeya yo, pou nou ka touye yo, pou n' ka wete move bagay derespektan sa a nan peyi Izrayèl la. Men, moun Benjamen yo pa koute sa lòt moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap di yo. Yo rete sou sa yo te fè a.
And now give up the men, the sons of Belial, who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But [the children of] Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.
14 Yo soti toupatou nan tout lavil Benjamen yo, yo sanble lavil Gibeya pou y' al goumen ak rès pèp Izrayèl la.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities of Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
15 Jou sa a yo konte, yo jwenn te gen vennsimil (26.000) sòlda antou ki te soti nan tout lavil yo, san konte sètsan (700) sòlda moun lavil Gibeya yo te chwazi.
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
16 Pami tout sòlda sa yo te gen sètsan (700) ladan yo ki te bon anpil nan fè lagè. Yo tout te sèvi ak men gòch yo. Yo tout te ka vize yon cheve ak yon wòch, san yo pa janm manke l' yon fwa.
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men left-handed; all these slang stones at a hair [breadth], and missed not.
17 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm, san konte branch fanmi Benjamen an, te gen katsanmil (400.000) gason ki te konn goumen.
And the men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
18 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo leve, y' ale lavil Betèl, y' al mande Seyè a sa pou yo fè. Yo mande l': -Ki branch fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pou al atake moun Benjamen yo anvan? Seyè a di yo: -Se branch fanmi Jida a.
And the children of Israel arose and went up to Bethel, and inquired of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first.
19 Se konsa, pèp Izrayèl la leve nan denmen maten, y' al pran pozisyon bò lavil Gibeya.
And the children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
20 Lèfini, yo pati pou y' al goumen ak moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo. Yo pran pozisyon anfas lavil Gibeya.
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
21 Moun Benjamen yo soti lavil Gibeya. Jou sa a yo desann venndemil (22.000) sòlda nan lame pèp Izrayèl la.
And the children of Benjamin went forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty-two thousand men.
22 Men, lame pèp Izrayèl la reprann fòs, yo pran pozisyon ankò menm kote yo te ye premye jou a pou y' al goumen.
And the people, the men of Israel, took courage, and set the battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
23 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm moute Betèl, y' al kriye nan pye Seyè a jouk aswè, epi yo mande Seyè a sa pou yo fè. Yo di l': -Eske se pou n' al goumen ankò kont moun fanmi Benjamen yo, frè nou yo? Seyè a reponn yo: -Wi. Nou mèt ale.
And the children of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until even, and inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.
24 Se konsa lame pèp Izrayèl la atake moun Benjamen yo yon dezyèm fwa.
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
25 Men, moun Benjamen yo soti lavil Gibeya vin kontre ak yo. Fwa sa a yo touye dizwitmil (18.000) solda nan lame pèp Izrayèl la.
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and again destroyed to the ground of the children of Israel eighteen thousand men: all these drew the sword.
26 Lè sa a, ni lame a ni rès pèp Izrayèl la moute lavil Betèl. Yo chita la devan Seyè a ap kriye. Jou sa a, yo rete san manje jouk aswè. Apre sa, yo boule bèt nan dife pou Seyè a, yo fè ofrann pou mande Seyè a padon.
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up and came to Bethel, and wept, and abode there before Jehovah, and fasted that day until even, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.
27 Lèfini, yo mande Seyè a ankò sa pou yo fè. Lè sa a, Bwat Kontra Bondye a te lavil Betèl.
And the children of Israel inquired of Jehovah (and the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
28 Se Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza, pitit pitit Arawon an, ki te reskonsab pou fè sèvis devan Bwat Kontra a. Yo di Seyè a: -Eske se pou n' al goumen ankò kont moun Benjamen yo, frè nou yo, osinon èske se pou n' rete sou sa nou fè a? Seyè a reponn yo: -Nou mèt al goumen. Paske denmen m'ap lage yo nan men nou.
and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And Jehovah said, Go up; for to-morrow I will give them into thy hand.
29 Moun Izrayèl yo mete kèk sòlda kache toupatou bò lavil Gibeya a.
And Israel set liers in wait against Gibeah, round about.
30 Apre sa, sou twazyèm jou a, yo moute al goumen ak lame moun Benjamen yo. Yo pran pozisyon ankò devan lavil Gibeya a jan yo te fè l' anvan an.
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at the other times.
31 Moun Benjamen yo soti vin kontre ak lame a. Yo kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè yo. Tankou lòt fwa yo, yo konmanse desann gason nan lame a, yo touye trant sòlda konsa, ni sou wout ki moute lavil Betèl la, ni sou wout ki mennen lavil Gibeya a pa mòn.
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city, and began to smite of the people, slaying as at the former times, in the highways, of which one leads to Bethel and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
32 Moun Benjamen yo t'ap di: -Nou bat yo ankò, tankou lòt fwa yo. Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap di: -Ann kouri devan yo sou wout andeyò yo pou yo ka kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè yo.
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. And the children of Israel said, Let us flee, that we may draw them from the city to the highways.
33 Lè sa a, lame pèp Izrayèl la kouri kite tout kote yo te gaye yo, yo sanble bò Baal-Tama. Men mesye ki te kache yo kouri soti kote yo te ye a, dèyè gwo wòch ki te bò lavil Gibeya a.
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-Tamar; and the ambush of Israel rushed forth out of their place, out of the meadows of Geba.
34 Dimil (10.000) bon sòlda yo te chwazi nan lame pèp Izrayèl la al kontre ak moun Gibeya yo. Batay la te rèd mare. Men, moun Benjamen yo pa t' ankò konprann batay la tapral vire mal pou yo.
And there came from opposite Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was severe; but they knew not that disaster was coming upon them.
35 Seyè a fè pèp Izrayèl la bat lame moun Benjamen yo byen bat jou sa a. Lame pèp Izrayèl la te desann vennsenkmil san (25.100) sòlda nan moun Benjamen yo.
And Jehovah smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjaminites that day twenty-five thousand one hundred men: all these drew the sword.
36 Se lè sa a, moun Benjamen yo vin wè yo t'ap pèdi batay la vre. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm t'ap fè bak devan moun Benjamen yo paske yo t'ap konte sou mesye ki te anbiske kò yo bò lavil Gibeya a.
And the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. — And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the ambush that they had set against Gibeah.
37 Mesye sa yo kouri soti nan kachèt yo, yo desann sou lavil Gibeya a, yo gaye nan tout lavil la, yo touye dènye moun yo jwenn ladan l'.
And the ambush hasted, and fell upon Gibeah; and the ambush drew along, and smote the whole city with the edge of the sword.
38 Moun Izrayèl yo te gen dizon ak mesye ki te kache yo pou yo te bay yon siyal ak lafimen. Lè yo wè gwo nwaj lafimen an ap moute soti nan lavil la,
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambush, that they should make a thick column of smoke rise up out of the city.
39 moun Izrayèl yo vire fè fas kare ak moun Benjamen yo. Lè sa a, moun Benjamen yo te gen tan touye trant moun konsa nan mitan yo. Yonn t'ap di lòt konsa: -Wi, nou bat yo fwa sa a tankou anvan an.
And when the men of Israel turned back in the battle, Benjamin began to smite, slaying of the men of Israel about thirty men; for they said, Surely they are quite routed before us as in the first battle.
40 Lamenm siyal la parèt. Nwaj lafimen an konmanse moute soti nan lavil la. Moun Benjamen yo vire gade dèyè, yo sezi wè dife te pete toupatou nan lavil la.
And when the burning began to rise up out of the city as a pillar of smoke, Benjamin looked behind, and behold, the whole city ascended [in smoke] to the heavens.
41 Moun Izrayèl yo menm te vire tounen sou yo. Lè sa a, laperèz fè moun Benjamen yo pèdi tèt yo, paske yo te vin konprann bagay la tapral pase mal pou yo.
Then the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were amazed, for they saw that disaster was come upon them.
42 Yo pran kouri pou moun Izrayèl yo, yo pran wout dezè a pou yo. Men, li te twò ta, yo pa t' ka chape ankò. Yo pran nan mitan de kan, lame moun Izrayèl la yon bò ak sòlda ki t'ap soti lavil la lòt bò. Yo tout mouri.
And they turned before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in their midst.
43 Moun Izrayèl yo kouri dèyè yo san rete, yo touye yo yonn apre lòt jouk yo rive yon kote anfas Gibeya bò solèy leve.
They encompassed the Benjaminites, chased them, trode them down at the resting-place over against Gibeah toward the sun-rising.
44 Yo touye dizwitmil (18.000) moun nan pi bon sòlda moun Benjamen yo.
And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men: all these, men of valour.
45 Lòt yo menm kouri ale nan dezè a bò wòch Rimon an. Yo touye senkmil (5.000) ladan yo sou wout yo. Yo kouri dèyè rès la jouk Gideyon. Yo touye demil (2.000) ladan yo.
And they turned and fled towards the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them to Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
46 Jou sa a, yo te touye vennsenkmil (25.000) moun antou nan branch fanmi Benjamen an. Epi tout te bon sòlda ki te konn goumen.
So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men that drew the sword: all these, men of valour.
47 Men, gen sisan (600) nan moun ki te kouri al nan dezè a, bò Wòch Rimon an, ki rete kache pandan kat mwa.
And six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness to the cliff of Rimmon, and abode at the cliff of Rimmon four months.
48 Moun Izrayèl yo menm tounen dèyè lòt moun Benjamen yo. Yo touye depi se gason, bèt ak tout lòt moun ki te nan lavil yo. Yo mete dife nan tout lavil yo jwenn sou wout yo.
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of [every] city as the cattle, and all that was found; even all the cities that were found did they set on fire.
