1 Samyèl 14
1 Alò jou a te rive ke Jonathan, fis a Saül la, te di a jennonm ki t ap pote zam li yo: “Vini, annou travèse vè anplasman post militè Filisten ki sou kote lòtbò a.” Men li pa t pale sa a papa l.
And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not his father.
2 Saül te rete nan zòn andeyò Guibea anba pye grenad la nan Migron. Epi moun ki te avèk li yo te anviwon sis-san mesye.
And Saul sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him about six hundred men.
3 Achija, fis a Achithub la, frè I-Kabod, fis a Phinées a, fis a Éli, sakrifikatè SENYÈ a nan Silo, te abiye avèk yon efòd. Epi pèp la pa t konnen ke Jonathan te ale.
And Achia son of Achitob, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, [was] the priest of God in Selom wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
4 Antre pasaj kote Jonathan te chache travèse pou rive nan anplasman post militè Filisten yo, te gen yon kote dan wòch byen file sou yon bò ak yon dan wòch byen file sou lòtbò a. Youn te rele Botsets e lòt la te rele Séné.
And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna.
5 Youn nan dan wòch yo te leve nan kote nò anfas Micmasch e lòt la nan sid anfas Guéba.
The one way [was] northward to one coming to Machmas, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae.
6 Alò Jonathan te di a jennonm ki t ap pote zam li yo: “Vini pou nou travèse lòtbò vè anplasman militè a ensikonsi sila yo. Petèt, SENYÈ a va aji pou nou. Paske SENYÈ a pa anpeche delivre, menm si se anpil, menm si se kèk grenn.”
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few.
7 Sila ki pote zam li yo te di: “Fè tout sa ki nan kè ou; vire ou menm e mwen la avèk ou selon volonte ou.”
And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that your heart inclines towards: behold, I [am] with you, my heart [is] as your heart.
8 Jonathan te di: “Gade byen, nou va travèse lòtbò vè mesye yo pou vin parèt a yo menm.
And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.
9 Si yo di nou: ‘Tann jiskaske nou rive bò kote nou’, alò, nou va kanpe nan plas nou e pa monte kote yo.
If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against them.
10 Men si yo di: ‘Vin monte kote nou’, alò nou va monte. Paske SENYÈ a te mete yo nan men nou; epi sa va sinyal pou nou.”
[But] if they should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a sign to us.
11 Lè yo toude te parèt nan anplasman militè Filisten yo, Filisten yo te di: “Gade byen, Ebre yo vin sòti nan tou a kote yo te kache kò yo.”
And they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves.
12 Epi mesye nan anplasman yo te rele Jonathan avèk gason ki pote zam li yo. Yo te di: “Monte kote nou pou nou di ou yon bagay.” Epi Jonathan te di a gason zam li yo: “Vin monte dèyè m, paskeSENYÈ a fin mete yo nan men Israël.”
And the men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel.
13 Alò, Jonathan te rale monte ak men l ak pye li, avèk gason zam yo dèyè li. Konsa, yo te tonbe devan Jonathan e gason zam yo te touye kèk apre li.
And Jonathan went up on his hands and feet, and his armour-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he struck them, and his armour-bearer did strike [them] after him.
14 Premye masak sa ke Jonathan avèk gason zam yo te fè te anviwon ven òm soti nan mwatye distans ke yon cha ta fè lè l ap raboure fè yon pase nan yon tyè kawo tè.
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field.
15 Epi nan kan an yo t ap tranble, anplis nan chan an, e pami tout pèp la. Menm gason anplasman militè yo te tranble. Ekip ravajè yo te tranble e latè te vin tranble jiskaske li te tranble anpil.
And there was dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord.
16 Gad Saül yo nan Guibea nan Benjamin te wè ke gran kantite fòs sòlda yo te kòmsi yo t ap fonn; epi yo te gaye pasi pala.
And the watchmen of Saul saw in Gabaa of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side.
17 Saül te di a moun ki te avèk li yo: “Kontwole soti koulye a pou wè kilès ki kite nou.” Epi lè yo fin fè kontwòl, gade byen, Jonathan avèk gason potè zam li yo pa t la.
And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not found.
18 Alò, Saül te di a Achija: “Mennen lach Bondye a isit la.” Paske lach Bondye a te nan tan sa a avèk fis Israël yo.
And Saul said to Achia, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel.
19 Pandan Saül te pale avèk prèt la, zen nan kan Filisten yo te kontinye e te vin ogmante. Donk, Saül te di prèt la: “Retire men w!”
And it came to pass while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hands.
20 Epi Saül avèk tout pèp ki te avèk li a te rasanble pou te rive kote batay la. Epi vwala, zam a chak moun te vire kont moun parèy pa yo. Te vin gen yon trè gran konfizyon.
And Saul went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbour, a very great confusion.
21 Alò, Ebre ki te avèk Filisten avan yo, ki te monte avèk yo toupatou nan kan an, menm yo menm te vire pou alinye avèk Izrayelit ki te avèk Saül ak Jonathan yo.
And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
22 Lè tout mesye Israël yo ki te kache kò yo nan peyi ti mòn Ephraïm yo te tande ke Filisten yo te sove ale, menm yo menm anplis, te kouri dèyè yo toupre nan batay la.
And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men.
23 Konsa SENYÈ a te delivre Israël nan jou sa a e batay la te gaye pi lwen Beth-Aven.
And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.
24 Alò mesye Israël yo te byen peze nan jou sa a, paske Saül te mete pèp la anba yon sèman, e te di: “Modi se mesye ki manje manje avan nwit lan, jiskaske mwen fè vanjans sou lènmi mwen yo.” Konsa, pa t gen nan pèp la ki te goute manje.
And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining.
25 Tout pèp peyi a te antre nan forè a e te gen siwo myèl atè a.
And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.
26 Lè pèp la te antre forè a, men vwala, te gen yon flèv siwo myèl. Men pèsòn pa t rale men l rive nan bouch li, paske pèp la te pè sèman an.
And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord.
27 Men Jonathan pa t ankò tande lè papa l te mete pèp la anba sèman an. Pou sa, li te lonje baton ki te nan men l lan, li te fonse li nan gato myèl la, li te mete men l nan bouch li e zye li te vin limen.
And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight.
28 Epi youn nan moun yo te di: “Papa ou te mete pèp la anba sèman avèk severite e li te di: ‘Modi se mesye ki manje manje jodi a.’” Epi pèp la te bouke.
And one of the people answered and said, Your father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread today. And the people were very faint,
29 Alò, Jonathan te di: “Papa m te twouble peyi a! Gade, koulye a kijan zye m vin limen akoz mwen te goute yon ti kras nan siwo sa a.
and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have tasted a little of this honey.
30 Konbyen anplis, si sèlman pèp la te manje avèk libète jodi a nan piyaj lènmi ke yo te twouve a! Paske koulye a masak pami Filisten yo pa gwo.”
Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter amongst the Philistines would have been greater.
31 Yo te frape pami Filisten yo nan jou sa a soti Micmasch pou jis rive Ajalon. Epi pèp la te vin byen bouke.
And on that day he struck some of the Philistines in Machmas; and the people were very weary.
32 Pèp la te kouri avèk gwo anvi sou piyaj la. Yo te pran mouton yo avèk gwo bèf ak ti bèf yo, yo te touye yo atè a, e yo te manje yo avèk san an.
And the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and killed them on the ground, and the people ate with the blood.
33 Alò, yo te pale Saül e te di: “Gade byen, pèp la ap peche kont SENYÈ a pandan yo manje avèk san an.” Epi li te di: “Nou te aji kòm trèt; woule yon gwo wòch kote mwen jodi a.”
And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither.
34 Saül te di: “Gaye nou menm pami pèp la e di yo: ‘Nou chak mennen bèf nou ban mwen, oswa mouton nou e touye li isit la pou manje. Pa fè peche kont SENYÈ a avèk afè manje san an.’” Konsa, tout pèp la nan nwit lan, yo chak te mennen bèf yo e te kòche li la.
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves amongst the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them kill it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they killed [them] there.
35 Epi Saül tebati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a; se te premye lotèl ke li te bati a SENYÈ a.
And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord.
36 Epi Saül te di: “Annou desann dèyè Filisten yo lannwit lan, pran piyaj pami yo jis li fè klè nan maten e annou pa kite youn nan mesye yo vivan.” Epi yo te di: “Fè nenpòt sa ki sanble bon pou ou menm.” Konsa, prèt la te di: “Annou apwoche de Bondye isit la.”
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines this night, and let us plunder amongst them till the day break, and let us not leave a man amongst them. And they said, Do all that is good in your sight: and the priest said, let us draw near hither to God.
37 Saül te fè demand a Bondye: “Èske mwen dwe desann dèyè Filisten yo? Èske Ou va ba yo nan men Israël?” Men Li pa t reponn li nan jou sa a
And Saul enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, will you deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in that day.
38 Saül te di: “Apwoche isit la, tout chèf a tout pèp la pou fè ankèt pou aprann kijan peche sa a te vin fèt jodi a.
And Saul said, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day.
39 Paske jan SENYÈ a ki delivre Israël la viv la, malgre ke si se fis mwen, Jonathan, li va anverite mouri.” Men yon moun nan tout pèp la pa t reponn li.
For as the Lord lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people.
40 Alò, li te di a tout Israël: “Nou va sou yon kote e mwen menm avèk Jonathan va nan lòt kote a.” Epi pèp la te di a Saül: “Fè sa ki sanble bon a ou menm.”
And he said to all the men of Israel, You shall be under subjection, and I an Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in your sight.
41 Pou sa, Saül te di a SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la: “Fè yon tiraj osò konplè.” Epi Jonathan avèk Saül te pran; men pèp la te delivre.
And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray you, to your people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and the people escaped.
42 Saül te di: “Tiraj osò a antre mwen menm avèk Jonathan, fis mwen an.” Epi se Jonathan ki pran.
And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and my son Jonathan: whoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot.
43 Alò Saül te di a Jonathan: “Di mwen kisa ou te fè a.” Konsa, Jonathan te rakonte li e te di: “Mwen, anverite, te goute yon ti kras siwo myèl avèk pwent baton ki te nan men m nan. Men mwen, fòk mwen mouri!”
And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, behold! I [am to] die.
44 Saül te di: “Ke Bondye fè sa e menm plis; paske vrèman, Jonathan, ou oblije mouri.”
And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, you shall surely die today.
45 Men pèp la te di a Saül: “Èske fòk Jonathan ta mouri, ki te fè reyisi gran delivrans sa a an Israël? Lwen de sa! Kòm SENYÈ a viv la, pa menm yon cheve nan tèt li p ap tonbe atè; paske li te fè travay Bondye nan jou sa a.” Konsa, pèp la te sove Jonathan pou li pa t mouri.
And the people said to Saul, Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not.
46 Alò, Saül te monte kite afè kouri dèyè Filisten yo, e Filisten yo te ale kote plas pa yo a.
And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.
47 Alò, lè Saül te pran plas chèf sou wayòm Israël la. Li te goumen kont tout lènmi li yo tout kote; kont Moab, fis a Ammon yo, Édom, wa a Zobah yo ak Filisten yo. Nenpòt kote li te vire li te pini yo.
And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Suba, and against the Philistines: wherever he turned, he was victorious.
48 Li te aji avèk kouraj; li te bat Amalekit yo, e li te delivre Israël soti nan men a sila ki te piyaje yo.
And he wrought valiantly, and struck Amalec, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him.
49 Alò, fis a Saül yo te Jonathan, Jischiv avèk Malkischua. Epi non a de fi yo se te konsa; non a premye ne a, Mérab e non a pi piti a, Mical.
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn Merob, and the name of the second Melchol.
50 Non a madanm a Saül se te Achinoam fi a Achimaats la. Epi non a kapitèn lame a se te Abner, fis a Ner a, tonton a Saül.
And the name of his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Achimaa: and the name of his captain of the host was Abenner, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul.
51 Kish se te papa a Saül ak Ner. Papa a Abner te fis a Abiel.
And Kis [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son of Abiel.
52 Alò, lagè kont Filisten yo te di anpil pandan tout jou a Saül yo. Epi lè Saül te wè nenpòt gason pwisan oswa vanyan, li te fè l vin atache nan sèvis pa l la.
And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself.
