1 Samyèl 13
1 Saül te gen trant ane lè l te kòmanse renye, e li te renye pandan karann-de ane sou Israël.
Saul [is] a son of [[thirty]] years in his reigning, and he has reigned over Israel [forty]-two years,
2 Alò, Saül te chwazi pou li menm twa mil mesye an Israël. Pami sila yo, de-mil te avèk Saül nan Micmasch ak nan peyi ti mòn Béthel la, pandan mil te avèk Jonathan nan Guibea pou Benjamin an. Men li te voye ale tout lòt moun yo, yo chak nan pwòp tant pa yo.
then Saul chooses for himself three thousand [men] out of Israel; and two thousand are with Saul in Michmash, and in the hill-country of Beth-El; and one thousand have been with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and he has sent each one of the remnant of the people to his tents.
3 Jonathan te frape post militè a Filisten ki te nan Guéba yo e Filisten yo te tande Koze sa a. Alò, Saül te soufle twonpèt la atravè tout peyi a, e li te di: “Kite Ebre yo tande.”
And Jonathan strikes the garrison of the Philistines which [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul has blown with a horn through all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear.”
4 Tout Israël te tande nouvèl ke Saül te frape post a Filisten yo, e osi ke Israël te vin rayisab a Filisten yo. Konsa pèp la te resevwa lòd pou rasanble Guilgal.
And all Israel have heard, saying, “Saul has struck the garrison of the Philistines,” and also, “Israel has been abhorred by the Philistines”; and the people are called after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Filisten yo te rasanble pou goumen avèk Israël; trant-mil cha avèk si-mil chevalye ak kantite moun ki te tankou sab ki bò lanmè. Anpil konsa, e yo te vin monte pou te fè kan nan Micmasch, nan lès a Beth-Aven.
And the Philistines have been gathered to fight with Israel; thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a people as the sand which [is] on the seashore for multitude; and they come up and encamp in Michmash, east of Beth-Aven.
6 Lè mesye Israël yo te vin wè ke yo te kwense (paske moun yo te vini sou yo anpil); alò, pèp la te kache kò yo nan gwòt yo, nan raje a, nan falèz yo, nan chanm anba tè yo ak nan sitèn yo.
And the men of Israel have seen that they are distressed, that the people have been oppressed, and the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
7 Anplis, kèk nan Ebre yo te travèse Jourdain an pou antre nan peyi Gad avèk Galaad. Men pou Saül, li te toujou Guilgal, e tout pèp la te swiv li avèk kò yo tou ap tranble.
And Hebrews have passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; and Saul [is] yet in Gilgal, and all the people have trembled after him.
8 Alò li te tann pandan sèt jou, selon tan fikse pa Samuel la; men Samuel pa t vini Guilgal, e pèp la t ap gaye kite li.
And he waits seven days, according to the appointment with Samuel, and Samuel has not come to Gilgal, and the people are scattered from off him.
9 Konsa, Saül te di: “Mennen ban mwen ofrann brile avèk ofrann lapè.” Epi li te ofri ofrann brile yo.
And Saul says, “Bring the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings near to me”; and he causes the burnt-offering to ascend.
10 Lè li te fin ofri ofrann brile yo, men vwala, Samuel te vini. Epi Saül te parèt deyò pou rankontre li e salye li.
And it comes to pass at his completing to cause the burnt-offering to ascend, that behold, Samuel has come, and Saul goes out to meet him, to bless him;
11 Men Samuel te di: “Kisa ou te fè?” Epi Saül te di: “Akoz mwen te wè ke pèp la t ap gaye kite m, ke ou pa t vini nan jou apwente a, e ke Filisten yo t ap rasanble nan Micmasch,
and Samuel says, “What have you done?” And Saul says, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and you had not come at the appointment of the days, and the Philistines are gathered to Michmash,
12 pou sa, mwen te di: ‘Alò Filisten yo va vin desann kont mwen Guilgal, epi mwen poko mande favè SENYÈ a.’ Pou sa, mwen te fòse mwen menm pou te ofri ofrann brile yo.”
and I say, Now the Philistines come down to me to Gilgal, and I have not appeased the face of YHWH; and I force myself, and cause the burnt-offering to ascend.”
13 Samuel te di a Saül: “Ou te aji nan foli. Ou pa t kenbe kòmandman ke SENYÈ a te kòmande ou a. Paske SENYÈ a t ap vin etabli wayòm ou a sou Israël jis pou tout tan.
And Samuel says to Saul, “You have been foolish; you have not kept the command of your God YHWH, which He commanded you, for now YHWH had established your kingdom over Israel for all time;
14 Men koulye a, wayòm ou an p ap dire. SENYÈ a te chache pou kont Li yon nonm selon pwòp kè li e SENYÈ a te chwazi li kòm chèf sou pèp Li a, akoz ou pa t kenbe sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande ou a.”
and now, your kingdom does not stand, YHWH has sought [for] a man for Himself according to His own heart, and YHWH charges him for leader over His people, for you have not kept that which YHWH commanded you.”
15 Epi Samuel te leve monte soti Guilgal pou rive Guibea nan Benjamin. Saül te konte moun ki te prezan avè l yo, yo te anviwon sis-san mesye.
And Samuel rises, and goes up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin; and Saul inspects the people who are found with him, about six hundred men,
16 Alò Saül avèk fis li a, Jonathan avèk moun ki te prezan avèk yo te rete Guéba nan Benjamin pandan Filisten yo te fè kan Micmasch.
and Saul, and his son Jonathan, and the people who are found with them, are abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the Philistines have encamped in Michmash.
17 Epi ravajè yo te sòti nan kan Filisten yo an twa konpayi yo. Yon konpayi te vire nan sid vè Ophra vè peyi Schual.
And the destroyer goes out from the camp of the Philistines—three detachments: one detachment turns to the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual,
18 Yon lòt konpayi te vire vè Beth-Horon, e yon lòt konpayi te vire vè lizyè ki kouri anwo vale a nan Tseboïm vè dezè a.
and one detachment turns the way of Beth-Horon, and one detachment turns the way of the border which is looking on the Valley of the Zeboim, toward the wilderness.
19 Alò, nanpwen bòs fòjewon ki ta kab twouve nan tout peyi Israël la, paske Filisten yo te di: “Otreman Ebre yo va fè nepe yo oswa frenn yo.”
And a craftsman is not found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear”;
20 Konsa, tout Israël te desann vè Filisten yo, yo chak pou file pwòp cha li, pikwa li, rach li, ak wou li.
and all Israel goes down to the Philistines, to each sharpen his plowshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;
21 Frè sèvis la te de tyè sik pou lam cha a, pou pikwa a, fochèt la, rach la e pou ranje wou yo.
and there has been the file for mattocks, and for coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to set up the goads.
22 Konsa sa te rive ke nan jou batay la ke ni nepe, ni fwenn pa t twouve nan men a okenn nan moun ki te avèk Saül ak Jonathan yo. Men yo te twouve sèlman nan men Saül ak Jonathan.
And it has been, in the day of battle, that there has not been found a sword and spear in the hand of any of the people who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan—but it is found with Saul and with his son Jonathan.
23 Epi ekip post militè a Filisten yo te sòti rive nan pasaj Micmasch.
And the station of the Philistines goes out to the passage of Michmash.
