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.
Now it came to pass one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, which is on the other side of yonder place. But he told not this to 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 abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were 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 Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither 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.
Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:
5 Youn nan dan wòch yo te leve nan kote nò anfas Micmasch e lòt la nan sid anfas Guéba.
One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.
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 the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either 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 armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.
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 these men. And when we shall be seen by 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 shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to 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 shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto 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.”
So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.
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 the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath 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 creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed 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 armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.
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 a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.
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, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.
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 that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
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 Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of 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 while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.
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.
Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man’s sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.
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.
Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned 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 that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul 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 Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.
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 the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:
25 Tout pèp peyi a te antre nan forè a e te gen siwo myèl atè a.
And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon 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 when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.
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.
But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
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 answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were 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 said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I 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.”
How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?
31 Yo te frape pami Filisten yo nan jou sa a soti Micmasch pou jis rive Ajalon. Epi pèp la te vin byen bouke.
So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.
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 falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them 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 they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.
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 among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew 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 to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar 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 fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto 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 consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not 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 corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened today.
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.
As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.
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 Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.
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 to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant today. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were 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 Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
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 thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.
44 Saül te di: “Ke Bondye fè sa e menm plis; paske vrèman, Jonathan, ou oblije mouri.”
And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.
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 Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.
46 Alò, Saül te monte kite afè kouri dèyè Filisten yo, e Filisten yo te ale kote plas pa yo a.
And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.
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 having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.
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 gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.
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 Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.
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 Saul’s wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.
51 Kish se te papa a Saül ak Ner. Papa a Abner te fis a Abiel.
For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was 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 there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself.
