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 was [thirty] years old when he began to reign; and, when he had reigned two years over Israel,
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.
Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel, of whom there were with Saul, two thousand in Michmash and in the hill-country of Bethel, and, a thousand, were with Jonathan, in Gibeah of Benjamin, —but, the rest of the people, he let go, every man to his own home.
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.”
Then did Jonathan smite the garrison of Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it, —and, Saul, blew with a horn throughout 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, heard say—Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines, Moreover, also, Israel have made themselves odious among the Philistines, —so the people were called together to follow 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, gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, a people also like the sand that is on the sea-shore for multitude, —and they came up, and encamped 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.
So, the men of Israel, saw they were in a strait, for the people had been harassed, —and the people had hidden themselves in caves, and in thickets, and among cliffs, and in holes, 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, had passed over the Jordan, to the land of Gad, and Gilead, —but, Saul, was yet in Gilgal, and all the people, 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 waited seven days, by the set time that Samuel had named, but Samuel came not to Gilgal, —and the people were scattered from him.
9 Konsa, Saül te di: “Mennen ban mwen ofrann brile avèk ofrann lapè.” Epi li te ofri ofrann brile yo.
Then said Saul, Bring near unto me, the ascending-sacrifice and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
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 came to pass, as he had made an end of offering up the ascending-sacrifice, lo! Samuel, had come, —and Saul went out to meet him, that he might 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,
Then said Samuel—What hast thou done? And Saul said—Because I saw that the people had been scattered from me, and, thou, hadst not come within the appointed days, and, the Philistines, had gathered themselves together 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.”
therefore I said—Now, will the Philistines come down against me, at Gilgal, but, the face of Yahweh, have I not appeased: So I forced myself, and offered up the ascending-sacrifice.
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 said unto Saul—Thou hast shewn thyself foolish, —thou hast not kept the commandment of Yahweh thy God, which he commanded thee, for, now, would Yahweh have established thy kingdom unto Israel until times age-abiding;
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.”
Whereas, now, shall thy kingdom not be established, —Yahweh hath sought out for him a man after his own heart, and Yahweh hath commanded him to be leader over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Yahweh commanded thee.
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 arose, and ascended from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were 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.
Now, Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with him, were abiding in Geba of Benjamin, —but, the Philistines, had 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 spoilers came forth out of the camp of the Philistines, in three companies, the first company, turned unto the way of Ophrah, unto 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, the second company, turned unto the way of Beth-horon, —and, the third company, turned unto the way of the boundary that overlooketh the valley of Zeboim, towards 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.”
Now, a smith, could not be found, throughout all the land of Israel—for the Philistines had 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.
So all Israel went down to the Philistines, —to sharpen every man his share, and his mattock, and his axe, and his sickle.
21 Frè sèvis la te de tyè sik pou lam cha a, pou pikwa a, fochèt la, rach la e pou ranje wou yo.
Howbeit they had a file for the sickles, and the mattocks, and the three-pronged forks, and the axes, —and for setting 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.
Thus would it come to pass, in the day of battle, that there was found—neither sword nor spear, in the hand of any of the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan, but such were found belonging to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
23 Epi ekip post militè a Filisten yo te sòti rive nan pasaj Micmasch.
Now the garrison of the Philistines had come out to the pass of Michmash.
