Jij 7
1 Jewoubaal, ki vle di Jedeyon, leve granmaten ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo, y' al moute kan yo bò Sous Awòd la. Moun Madyan yo menm te moute kan pa yo nan tout plenn lan, nan pye mòn More, sou bò nò kan Jedeyon an.
Then Ierubbaal (who is Gideon) rose vp early, and all the people that were with him, and pitched beside the well of Harod, so that the hoste of the Midianites was on the Northside of them in the valley by the hill of Moreh.
2 Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Ou gen twòp moun avè ou pou m' kite ou kraze moun Madyan yo! Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va mete nan tèt yo se yo menm ak pwòp fòs kouraj yo ki delivre peyi yo a, yo p'ap vle kwè se mwen menm ki fè sa pou yo.
And the Lord said vnto Gideon, The people that are with thee, are too many for me to giue the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel make their vaunt against me, and say, Mine hand hath saued mee.
3 Koulye a, pale ak tout pèp la. Di yo konsa: Si gen moun ki pè, k'ap tranble, yo mèt al fè wout yo lakay yo, kite nou sou mòn Gilboa a. Se konsa venndemil (22.000) moun al lakay yo. Te rete dimil (10.000).
Now therefore proclaime in the audience of the people, and say, Who so is timerous or fearefull, let him returne, and depart earely from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people which were at mount Gilead, two and twentie thousand: so ten thousand remayned.
4 Seyè a di Jedeyon ankò: -Gen twòp moun toujou. Fè yo tout desann bò larivyè a. M'a separe yo la pou ou. Moun m'a di ou ki pou ale avè ou yo va ale. Moun m'a di ou ki pa pou ale avè ou yo va rete.
And the Lord said vnto Gideon, The people are yet too many: bring them downe vnto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and of whome I say vnto thee, This man shall goe with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoeuer I say vnto thee, This man shall not goe with thee, the same shall not go.
5 Jedeyon fè tout mesye yo desann bò larivyè a. Epi Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Tout moun w'a wè k'ap lape dlo tankou chen, w'a mete yo yon bò, tout moun w'a wè ki va kwoupi pou bwè dlo, w'a mete yo yon lòt bò.
So he brought downe the people vnto the water. And the Lord sayd vnto Gideon, As many as lap the water with their tongues, as a dog lappeth, them put by themselues, and euery one that shall bow downe his knees to drinke, put apart.
6 Te gen twasan (300) gason ki te pran dlo nan pla men yo epi ki t'ap lape dlo a. Tout rès yo te kwoupi pou bwè dlo.
And the nomber of them that lapped by putting their handes to their mouthes, were three hundreth men: but all the remnant of the people kneeled downe vpon their knees to drinke water.
7 Seyè a di Jedeyon! -Se avèk twasan nèg sa yo ou wè ki te lape dlo a mwen pral delivre nou. Mwen pral lage moun Madyan yo nan men ou. Kite tout lòt yo ale lakay yo.
Then the Lord sayde vnto Gideon, By these three hundreth men that lapped, will I saue you, and deliuer the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go euery man vnto his place.
8 Yo pran tout pwovizyon lòt moun yo te genyen ansanm ak twonpèt yo, yo kenbe yo pou yo. Lèfini, Jedeyon voye tout rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale lakay yo. Li fè twasan (300) moun yo rete ak li sou mòn lan. Moun Madyan yo menm te anba nan plenn lan.
So the people tooke vitailes with them, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel, euery man vnto his tent, and reteined the three hundreth men: and the hoste of Midian was beneath him in a valley.
9 Jou lannwit sa a, Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Leve non! Desann al atake kan moun Madyan yo. Mwen lage yo nan men ou.
And the same night the Lord sayde vnto him, Arise, get thee downe vnto the hoste: for I haue deliuered it into thine hand.
10 Men si ou pè atake, desann bò kan moun Madyan yo ansanm ak Poura, domestik ou a.
But if thou feare to go downe, then go thou, and Phurah thy seruant downe to the hoste,
11 W'a tande sa y'ap di. Lè sa a, w'a pran kouraj epi w'a desann al atake yo. Se konsa Jedeyon desann ansanm ak Poura, domestik li a, li rive toupre avanpòs kan an.
And thou shalt hearken what they say, and so shall thine handes be strong to go downe vnto the hoste. Then went he downe and Phurah his seruant vnto the outside of the souldiers that were in the hoste.
12 Moun Madyan yo, moun Amalèk yo ak moun k'ap viv nan dezè bò solèy leve yo te kouvri tout plenn lan, tankou desen krikèt vèt nan jaden. Chamo yo te genyen, moun pa t' ka konte sa, menm jan yo pa ka konte grenn sab bò lanmè.
And the Midianites, and the Amalekites and all they of the East, lay in the valley like grashoppers in multitude, and their camels were without nomber, as the sande which is by the sea side for multitude.
13 Lè Jedeyon rive, li jwenn yon nonm ki t'ap rakonte yon zanmi l' yon rèv li te fè. Li t'ap di l' konsa: -Monchè, mwen fè yon rèv: Mwen wè yon pen won fèt ak farin lòj ki t'ap woule nan mitan kan an. Epi li rive, l' al frape sou tant lan. Tant lan chavire, li tonbe plat atè.
And when Gideon was come, beholde, a man tolde a dreame vnto his neighbour, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dreame, and lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled from aboue into the hoste of Midian, and came vnto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and ouerturned it, that the tent fell downe.
14 Zanmi an reponn li: -Boul pen won an, se nepe Jedeyon, pitit Joas la, nonm pèp Izrayèl la. Sa pa vle di lòt bagay! Bondye lage moun Madyan yo ak tout lame a nan men l'.
And his fellow answered, and sayde, This is nothing els saue the sworde of Gideon the sonne of Ioash a man of Israel: for into his hande hath God deliuered Midian and all the hoste.
15 Lè Jedeyon tande rèv la ak esplikasyon yo ba li a, li lage kò l' atè devan Bondye. Apre sa, li leve, li tounen nan kan moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li di yo: -Ann ale! Seyè a lage kan moun Madyan yo nan men nou.
When Gideon heard the dreame tolde, and the interpretation of the same, he worshipped, and returned vnto the hoste of Israel, and said, Vp: for the Lord hath deliuered into your hande the hoste of Midian.
16 Li pran twasan mesye yo, li fè twa gwoup. Li bay chak moun yon twonpèt ak yon krich vid. Lèfini, li ba yo chak yon bwa chandèl pou mete nan krich la.
And hee deuided the three hundreth men into three bandes, and gaue euery man a trumpet in his hande with emptie pitchers, and lampes within the pitchers.
17 Epi li di yo: -Se pou tout moun gade sou mwen pou wè sa m'ap fè. Lè n'a rive toupre kan an, tou sa n'a wè m' fè, n'a fè l' tou.
And he sayd vnto them, Looke on me, and do likewise, when I come to the side of the hoste: euen as I do, so do you.
18 N'a fè wonn kan an. Lè m'a kònen twonpèt ansanm ak tout moun ki avè m' yo, nou menm tou n'a kònen twonpèt. Epi n'a rele: Annavan pou Seyè a ak pou Jedeyon!
When I blowe with a trumpet and all that are with me, blowe ye with trumpets also on euery side of the hoste, and say, For the Lord, and for Gideon.
19 Lè Jedeyon rive toupre kan an ansanm ak san moun ki te avè l' yo, li te prèt pou menwit. Yo te fenk chanje faksyonnè. Yo pran kònen twonpèt yo epi yo kraze krich yo te gen nan men yo.
So Gideon and the hundreth men that were with him, came vnto the outside of the hoste, in the beginning of the middle watche, and they raised vp the watchmen, and they blew with their trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their handes.
20 Tou twa gwoup moun yo pran kònen twonpèt ansanm epi yo kraze krich yo. Yo kenbe bwa chandèl yo nan men gòch yo, twonpèt yo nan men dwat yo pou yo ka kònen yo, epi yo rele: -Ann al goumen pou Seyè a ak pou Jedeyon!
And the three companies blew with trumpets and brake the pitchers, and helde the lampes in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right. handes to blowe withall: and they cryed, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.
21 Yo te kanpe fè wonn kan an, chak moun nan plas yo. Lè sa a tout moun nan kan an pran kouri met deyò, yo t'ap rele byen fò.
And they stoode, euery man in his place round about the hoste: and all the hoste ranne, and cryed, and fled.
22 Antan twasan moun Jedeyon yo t'ap kònen twonpèt yo, Seyè a menm t'ap fè moun Madyan yo yonn ap goumen ak lòt. Sa ki chape yo pran kouri nan direksyon Bèt-Chita bò Serera rive jouk bò lavil Abèl Meola, toupre Tabat.
And the three hundreth blewe with trumpets, and the Lord set euery mans sworde vpon his neighbour, and vpon all the hoste: so the hoste fled to Beth-hashittah in Zererah, and to the border of Abel-meholah, vnto Tabbath.
23 Lè sa a yo rele tout gason nan branch fanmi Neftali a, nan branch fanmi Asè a ak nan tout branch fanmi Manase a, epi yo pran kouri dèyè moun Madyan yo.
Then the men of Israel being gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, pursued after the Midianites.
24 Jedeyon menm voye mesaje nan tout mòn Efrayim yo pou di mesye yo: -Desann, vin goumen ak moun Madyan yo. Al bare yo bò dlo a sou tout longè larivyè Jouden an jouk Bèt-Bara pou anpeche yo pase. Tout moun Efrayim yo reyini vre. Epi y' al bare wout la sou bò dlo a sou tout longè larivyè Jouden an jouk Bèt-Bara.
And Gideon sent messengers vnto all mount Ephraim, saying, Come downe against the Midianites, and take before them the waters vnto Beth-barah, and Iorden. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and tooke the waters vnto Beth-barah, and Iorden.
25 Yo mete men sou Orèb ak Zeyèb, de nan chèf moun Madyan yo. Yo touye Orèb sou Wòch Orèb la, Zeyèb nan basen rezen Zeyèb la. Apre sa, yo kouri toujou dèyè moun Madyan yo. Lèfini, yo pote tèt Orèb ak tèt Zeyèb bay Jedeyon ki te sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden an.
And they tooke two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb vpon the rocke Oreb, and slewe Zeeb at the winepresse of Zeeb, and pursued the Midianites, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon beyonde Iorden.
