1 Samyèl 12
1 Samuel te di a tout Israël: “Gade byen, mwen te koute vwa nou nan tout sa ke nou te di m yo e mwen te chwazi yon wa sou nou.
And he said Samuel to all Israel here! I have listened to voice your to all that you have said to me and I have made king over you a king.
2 Alò, men wa a k ap mache devan nou. Men mwen fin granmoun, cheve m blanch e gade byen fis mwen yo avèk nou. Mwen te mache devan nou soti nan jenès mwen jis rive jodi a.
And now here! the king - [is] walking about before you and I I am old and I am gray haired and sons my here they [are] with you and I I have walked about before you since youth my until the day this.
3 Men mwen! Temwaye kont mwen devan SENYÈ a avèk moun onksyone pa Li yo. Se bèf a ki moun mwen konn vòlè, oswa bourik a kilès mwen te konn pran, oswa se kilès mwen te konn twonpe? Ki moun mwen te konn oprime, oswa nan men a kilès mwen te touche anba tab pou zye m pa wè? Si mwen te fè bagay sa yo, M ap repare sa.”
Here [am] I testify against me before Yahweh and before anointed his [the] ox of - whom? have I taken and [the] donkey of whom? have I taken and whom? have I oppressed whom? have I crushed and from [the] hand of whom? have I taken a ransom so I may hide eyes my by it so I may restore [it] to you.
4 Yo te di: “Ou pa janm te twonpe nou, ni oprime nou ni pran anyen nan men a pèsòn.”
And they said not you have oppressed us and not you have crushed us and not you have taken from [the] hand of anyone anything.
5 Li te di yo: “SENYÈ a se temwen kont nou e onksyone pa Li yo se temwen nan jou sa a ke nou pa t twouve anyen nan men m nan.” Epi yo te di: “Li se temwen.”
And he said to them [is] a witness Yahweh on you and [is] a witness anointed his the day this that not you have found in hand my anything and someone said [he is] a witness.
6 Epi Samuel te di a pèp la: “Li se SENYÈ a ki te chwazi Moïse avèk Aaron, e ki te mennen zansèt nou yo monte soti nan peyi Égypte la.
And he said Samuel to the people Yahweh who he appointed Moses and Aaron and who he brought up ancestors your from [the] land of Egypt.
7 Alò koulye a, kanpe pou m kab plede avèk nou devan SENYÈ a konsènan tout zèv ladwati ke SENYÈ a te fè pou nou avèk zansèt pa nou yo.
And therefore present yourselves so let me enter into judgment with you before Yahweh all [the] righteousness of Yahweh which he did with you and with ancestors your.
8 “Lè Jacob te antre an Égypte, zansèt nou yo te kriye fò a SENYÈ a. Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye Moïse avèk Aaron ki te mennen zansèt nou yo sòti an Égypte, e Li te fè yo vin rete nan plas sa a.
Just when he went Jacob Egypt and they cried out ancestors your to Yahweh and he sent Yahweh Moses and Aaron and they brought out ancestors your from Egypt and they caused to dwell them in the place this.
9 Men yo te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, e pou sa, Li te vann yo nan men Sisera, kapitèn a lame Hatsor a, nan men a Filisten yo, nan men wa Moab la, e yo te goumen kont yo.
And they forgot Yahweh God their and he sold them in [the] hand of Sisera [the] commander of [the] army of Hazor and in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and in [the] hand of [the] king of Moab and they fought against them.
10 Yo te kriye fò a SENYÈ a e yo te di: ‘Nou te peche akoz nou te kite SENYÈ a pou te sèvi Baal yo avèk Astarté; men koulye a, delivre nou nan men a lènmi nou yo e nou va sèvi Ou.’
And they cried out to Yahweh (and they said *Q(K)*) we have sinned for we have forsaken Yahweh and we have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth and now deliver us from [the] hand of enemies our so we may serve you.
11 Alò apre, SENYÈ a te voye Jerubbaal avèk Bedan, Jephthé ak Samuel pou te delivre nou nan men a lènmi nou yo toupatou, pou nou viv ansekirite.
And he sent Yahweh Jerub-Baal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel and he delivered you from [the] hand of enemies your from round about and you dwelt security.
12 “Lè nou te wè ke Nachasch, wa a fis Ammon yo, te vini kont nou, nou te di m: ‘Non, men se yon wa k ap renye sou nou’, malgre sa, SENYÈ Bondye nou an te wa nou.
And you saw that Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon [was] coming on you and you said to me In-deed a king he will reign over us and Yahweh God your [was] king your.
13 Alò pou sa, men wa ke nou te mande a. Epi gade byen, SENYÈ a te mete yon wa sou nou.
And now here! the king whom you have chosen whom you asked for and here! he has set Yahweh over you a king.
14 Si nou va gen lakrent SENYÈ a, sèvi Li, koute vwa Li, e pa fè rebèl kont lòd SENYÈ a; alò, ni nou, ni wa ki renye sou nou an va swiv SENYÈ Bondye nou an.
If you will fear Yahweh and you will serve him and you will listen to voice his and not you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and you will be both you as well as the king who he has become king over you after Yahweh God your.
15 Si nou pa koute vwa SENYÈ a, men fè rebèl kont lòd SENYÈ a, alò men a SENYÈ a va kont nou, jan li te ye kont zansèt nou yo.
And if not you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh and you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and it will be [the] hand of Yahweh on you and on ancestors your.
16 “Menm koulye a, kanpe la pou nou wè gwo bagay sa a ke SENYÈ a va fè devan zye nou.
Also now stand and see the thing great this which Yahweh [is] about to do to eyes your.
17 Èske se pa rekòlt ble li ye kounye a? M ap fè apèl SENYÈ a, pou Li kapab voye tonnè avèk lapli. Konsa, nou va konnen e wè mechanste ke nou te fè nan zye SENYÈ a gran, lè nou te mande pou nou yon wa.”
¿ Not [is] [the] harvest of wheat this day I will call out to Yahweh so he may give thunder claps and rain and know and see that evil your [is] great which you have done in [the] eyes of Yahweh by asking for yourselves a king.
18 Konsa, Samuel te rele a SENYÈ a, e SENYÈ a te voye tonnè avèk lapli nan jou sa a. Epi tout pèp la te gen gwo lakrent SENYÈ a ak Samuel.
And he called out Samuel to Yahweh and he gave Yahweh thunder claps and rain on the day that and it feared all the people exceedingly Yahweh and Samuel.
19 Alò, tout pèp la te di a Samuel: “Priye pou sèvitè ou yo a SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, pou nou pa mouri; paske nou te ogmante sou peche nou yo, mal sila a, ke nou te mande yon wa pou kont nou an.”
And they said all the people to Samuel pray for servants your to Yahweh God your and may not we die for we have added to all sins our an evil thing by asking for ourselves a king.
20 Samuel te di a pèp la: “Pa pè Nou te fè tout mechanste sa a. Men pa vire akote pou pa swiv SENYÈ a, men sèvi SENYÈ a avèk tout kè nou.
And he said Samuel to the people may not you be afraid you you have done all the evil this nevertheless may not you turn aside from after Yahweh and you will serve Yahweh with all heart your.
21 Fòk nou pa vire akote. Paske konsa, nou ta swiv bagay san valè ki pa kab fè benefis ni delivre, paske yo san valè.
And not you must turn aside for - after emptiness which not they will benefit and not they will rescue for [are] emptiness they.
22 Paske SENYÈ a p ap abandone pèp Li a akoz gran non Li, paske sa te fè SENYÈ a plezi pou fè nou yon pèp ki te pou Li menm.
For not he will abandon Yahweh people his for sake of name his great for he was determined Yahweh to make you for himself into a people.
23 Anplis, pou mwen menm, lwen de mwen ke m ta peche kont SENYÈ a e sispann fè lapriyè pou nou; men mwen va enstwi nou nan chemen ki bon e ki dwat la.
Also I far be it to me from sinning to Yahweh from ceasing to pray for you and I will teach you [the] way of the good and the upright.
24 Sèlman, gen lakrent Bondye e sèvi Li anverite, avèk tout kè nou. Paske kalkile ki kalite gwo zafè Li te fè pou nou.
Only - fear Yahweh and you will serve him in faithfulness with all heart your for consider this: he has done great things with you.
25 Men si nou toujou fè mal, ni nou menm ni wa nou an va peri.”
And if still you will do evil both you as well as king your you will be swept away.
