1 Samyèl 13
1 Saül te gen trant ane lè l te kòmanse renye, e li te renye pandan karann-de ane sou Israël.
A son of a year [is] Saul in his reigning, yea, two years he hath reigned 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.
and Saul chooseth 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 a thousand have been with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the remnant of the people he hath sent each 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 smiteth the garrison of the Philistines which [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul hath blown with a trumpet 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 hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines,' and also, 'Israel hath 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 sea-shore 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 hath 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 waiteth seven days, according to the appointment with Samuel, and Samuel hath 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 saith, 'Bring nigh unto me the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings;' and he causeth 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 cometh to pass at his completing to cause the burnt-offering to ascend, that lo, Samuel hath come, and Saul goeth 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 saith, 'What hast thou done?' And Saul saith, 'Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and thou hadst 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 do the Philistines come down unto me to Gilgal, and the face of Jehovah I have not appeased; 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 saith unto Saul, 'Thou hast been foolish; thou hast not kept the command of Jehovah thy God, which He commanded thee, for now had Jehovah established thy kingdom over Israel unto the age;
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, thy kingdom doth not stand, Jehovah hath sought for Himself a man according to His own heart, and Jehovah chargeth him for leader over His people, for thou hast not kept that which Jehovah 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 riseth, and goeth up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin; and Saul inspecteth 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 Jonathan his son, 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 goeth out from the camp of the Philistines — three detachments; the one detachment turneth 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 one detachment turneth the way of Beth-Horon, and the one detachment turneth 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 an artificer 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 go down to the Philistines, to sharpen each his ploughshare, 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 hath 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 hath been, in the day of battle, that there hath not been found sword and spear in the hand of any of the people who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan — and there is found to Saul and to Jonathan his son.
23 Epi ekip post militè a Filisten yo te sòti rive nan pasaj Micmasch.
And the station of the Philistines goeth out unto the passage of Michmash.
