1 Samyèl 10
1 Konsa, Samuel te pran poban lwil la. Li te vide li sou tèt li. Li te bo li e te di: “Èske SENYÈ a pa t onksyone ou kòm prens sou eritaj Li a?
Then Samuel took a flask of oil, poured it on Saul's head, and kissed him. He said, “Has not Yahweh anointed you to be a ruler over his inheritance?
2 Lè ou kite mwen jodi a, alò ou va jwenn de moun toupre tonm Rachel la, nan teritwa Benjamin nan Tseltsach. Yo va di ou: ‘Bourik ke ou t ap chache yo gen tan twouve. Alò, gade byen, papa ou pa twouble tèt li ankò sou bourik yo, men li twouble pou ou menm. L ap mande: “Kisa mwen va fè konsènan pitit mwen an?”’”
When you leave me today, you will find two men near Rachel's tomb, in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will say to you, 'The donkeys that you were looking for have been found. Now your father has stopped caring about the donkeys and is worried about you, saying, “What should I do about my son?”'
3 Alò, ou va ale pi lwen soti la, e ou va parèt jis nan chèn Thabor a. La, twa mesye k ap monte vè Bondye Béthel yo va rankontre avè w. Youn k ap pote twa jenn kabrit, yon lòt k ap pote twa moso pen, e yon lòt k ap pote yon po diven.
Then you will go on further from there, and you will come to the oak of Tabor. Three men going to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.
4 Yo va di ou: “Bonjou”, e yo va ba ou de moso pen, ke ou va aksepte nan men yo.
They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will take from their hands.
5 Apre, ou va vini nan ti mòn Bondye a kote ganizon lame Filisten an ye a. Konsa, li va fèt ke depi ou vini la, kote vil la, ou va rankontre yon gwoup pwofèt k ap desann soti nan plas anwo a avèk gita, tanbouren, flit ak bandyo devan yo, e yo va pwofetize.
After that, you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is. When you arrive at the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a harp, a tambourine, a flute, and a lyre before them; they will be prophesying.
6 Epi Lespri Bondye a va vini sou ou avèk gwo fòs. Ou va pwofetize avèk yo, e ou va chanje pou vin yon lòt moun.
The Spirit of Yahweh will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them, and you will be changed into a different man.
7 Li va rive ke lè sign sa yo parèt sou ou, ou va fè pou kont ou sa ke okazyon an mande, paske Bondye avèk ou.
Now, when these signs come to you, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.
8 “Epi ou va desann devan mwen Guilgal. Gade byen, m ap desann kote ou pou ofri ofrann brile avèk sakrifis lapè yo. Ou va tann sèt jou jiskaske mwen vin kote ou pou montre ou kisa ou ta dwe fè.”
Go down before me to Gilgal. Then I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you must do.”
9 Alò, li te rive ke lè li te vire do li pou kite Samuel, Bondye te chanje kè li, epi tout sign sa yo te rive nan jou sa a.
When Saul turned his back to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. Then all these signs came to pass that day.
10 Lè yo te rive la, nan kote ti mòn nan, yon gwoup pwofèt te rankontre li. Epi Lespri Bondye a te vini sou li avèk fòs, jiskaske li te pwofetize pami yo.
When they came to the hill, a group of prophets met him, and the Spirit of God rushed upon him so that he prophesied with them.
11 Li vin rive ke lè tout moun ki te rekonèt li oparavan yo te wè ke koulye a li pwofetize avèk pwofèt yo, ke pèp la te di youn ak lòt: “Kisa ki rive a fis a Kish la? Èske Saül osi pami pwofèt yo?”
When everyone who knew him before saw him prophesying with the prophets, the people said to each other, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul one of the prophets now?”
12 Yon mesye nan plas sa a te di: “Alò, kilès ki papa yo?” Konsa, sa te devni yon pwovèb: “Èske Saül, osi pami pwofèt yo?”
A man who was from that same place answered, “Then who is their father?” Because of this, it became a saying, “Is Saul also one of the prophets?”
13 Lè li te fin pwofetize li te vini nan plas anwo a.
When he finished prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 Alò, tonton Saül te di li avèk sèvitè li a: “Kote ou te ale?” Epi li te di: “Pou chache bourik yo. Men lè nou vin wè yo p ap kab twouve, nou te ale kote Samuel.”
Then Saul's uncle said to him and his servant, “Where did you go?” He replied, “To look for the donkeys. When we saw that we could not find them, we went to Samuel.”
15 Tonton Saül te di li: “Souple, di m sa ke Samuel te di ou a.”
Saul's uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 Konsa Saül te di tonton li: “Li te pale nou byen klè ke bourik yo gen tan twouve.” Men li pa t pale li afè wayòm ke Samuel te pale a.
Saul replied to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel had spoken.
17 Apre sa Samuel te konvoke pèp la ansanm vè SENYÈ a nan Mitspa.
Now Samuel called the people together before Yahweh at Mizpah.
18 Li te di a fis Israël yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Mwen te mennen Israël monte soti Égypte. Mwen te delivre nou soti nan men Ejipsyen yo, e nou te soti de men a tout wayòm ki t ap oprime nou yo.’
He said to the people of Israel, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel says: 'I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.'
19 Men jodi a, nou te rejte Bondye nou an, ki delivre nou de tout malè nou yo ak detrès nou yo. Malgre sa nou vin di: ‘Non, men mete yon wa sou nou!’ Pou sa, prezante nou menm devan SENYÈ a pa tribi nou yo ak gran fanmi nou yo.”
But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all of your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, 'Set a king over us.' Now present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes and by your clans.”
20 Konsa, Samuel te mennen tout tribi Israël yo vin toupre li, e tribi Benjamin an te pran pa tiraj osò.
So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 Alò, li te mennen tribi Benjamin an vin toupre pa fanmi li yo, e yo te pran fanmi Matri a. Konsa, Saül, fis a Kish la te vin pran. Men lè yo vin chache li, yo pa t kab twouve l.
Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their clans; and the clan of the Matrites was chosen; and Saul son of Kish was chosen. But when they went looking for him, he could not be found.
22 Pou sa, yo vin mande plis a SENYÈ a: “Èske nonm nan gen tan rive isit la deja?” Pou sa, Bondye te di: “Gade byen, l ap kache kò li kote pwovizyon yo.”
Then the people wanted to ask God more questions, “Is there still another man to come?” Yahweh answered, “He has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 Konsa yo te kouri pran li soti la, e lè li te kanpe pami pèp la, li te pi wo pase tout lòt moun nan pèp la soti nan zepòl li.
Then they ran and retrieved Saul from there. When he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.
24 Samuel te di a tout pèp la: “Èske nou wè sila ke SENYÈ a te chwazi a? Anverite, nanpwen lòt moun ki tankou li pami tout pèp la.” “Konsa, tout pèp la te rele fò. Yo te di: “Viv Wa a!”
Then Samuel said to the people, “Do you see the man whom Yahweh has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people!” All the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
25 Alò, Samuel te pale pèp la règleman a wayòm nan. Li te ekri yo nan liv la, e li te plase li devan SENYÈ a. Konsa, Samuel te voye tout pèp la ale, yo chak nan pwòp kay pa yo.
Then Samuel told the people the customs and rules of kingship, wrote them down in a book, and placed it before Yahweh. Samuel then sent all the people away, each man to his own house.
26 Anplis Saül te ale lakay li Guibea. Epi mesye vanyan yo avèk kè ki te touche pa Bondye te ale avèk li.
Saul also went to his home at Gibeah, and with him went some strong men, whose hearts God had touched.
27 Men sèten sanzave ki te di: “Kijan mesye sila a kapab delivre nou?” Yo te meprize li e pa t pote okenn kado pou li. Men li te rete an silans.
But some worthless men said, “How can this man save us?” These people despised Saul and did not bring him any gifts. But Saul kept silent.
