1 Samyèl 2
1 Anne te priye e te di: “Kè mwen vin leve wo nèt nan SENYÈ a! Kòn mwen leve wo nan SENYÈ a. Bouch mwen pale kouraj kont lènmi mwen yo, akoz mwen rejwi nan delivrans Ou.
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoices in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in your salvation.
2 Nanpwen pèsòn ki sen tankou SENYÈ a. Anverite, nanpwen lòt sof ke Ou menm, ni nanpwen okenn wòch tankou Bondye pa nou an.
There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside you: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 “Pa pale kè anflè ankò, pa kite awogans sòti nan bouch ou. Paske SENYÈ a se yon Bondye avèk konesans, e avèk Li, tout zak yo peze nan balans.
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 “Banza a pwisan yo vin fann, kraze nèt, men fèb yo vin gen fòs.
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Sila ki te gen vant plen yo vin vann tèt yo pou achte pen, men sila ki te grangou vin satisfè. Menm sila ki te esteril la fè sèt pitit, men Sila ki te fè anpil pitit la vin sispann.
They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren has born seven; and she that has many children is waxed feeble.
6 “Se SENYÈ a ki detwi e ki fè viv. SENYÈ a rale desann nan sejou lanmò yo, e Li leve wo. (Sheol h7585)
The LORD kills, and makes alive: he brings down to the grave, and brings up. (Sheol h7585)
7 SENYÈ a fè pòv ak rich. Li abese e anplis, Li leve.
The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up.
8 Li leve malere sòti nan pousyè. Li leve sila ki nan bezwen an soti nan pil sann nan, pou yo chita avèk prens yo, e jwenn yon chèz donè kòm eritaj. Paske pilye tè yo se pou SENYÈ a yo ye. Li te plase lemond sou yo.
He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he has set the world upon them.
9 L ap pwoteje pye a sen Li yo; men, mechan yo va jwenn silans nan tenèb la; paske se pa pa lafòs ke yon nonm vin reyisi.
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 Sila ki fè lènmi avèk SENYÈ a va kraze nèt. Kont yo Li va gwonde depi nan syèl yo. SENYÈ a ki va jije, jis rive nan tout ekstremite latè yo. Konsa, Li va bay kouraj a wa Li; Li va fè leve wo kòn onksyon pa Li a.”
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 Elkana te ale lakay li Rama. Men gason an te fè sèvis SENYÈ a devan Éli, prèt la.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 Alò, fis a Éli yo te vagabon. Yo pa t konnen SENYÈ a,
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
13 ni koutim prèt yo avèk pèp pa yo. Lè yon moun t ap ofri yon sakrifis, sèvitè a prèt la te konn vini pandan vyann nan t ap bouyi avèk yon fouch twa pwent nan men l.
And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fork of three teeth in his hand;
14 Konsa, li te konn fonse l nan kivèt ak chodyè a, oswa bonm nan, oswa po a. Epi tout sa ke fouch la fè leve, prèt la ta pran l pou kont li. Konsa yo te fè tout Izrayelit yo ki parèt nan Silo.
And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
15 Anplis, avan yo te brile grès la, sèvitè prèt la te vini e te di a mesye ki t ap fè sakrifis la: “Bay prèt la vyann pou boukannen; paske li p ap pran vyann bouyi nan men nou, sèl sa ki poko kwit.”
Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of you, but raw.
16 Si mesye a ta di li: “Fòk yo brile grès la avan e apre, ou kab pran sa ou pito,” Alò, li ta di: “Non, men se koulye a, pou ou ban mwen li. Si se pa konsa, m ap sezi l pa lafòs.”
And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would answer him, Nay; but you shall give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
17 Konsa, peche jennonm yo te trè gran devan SENYÈ a, paske moun te meprize ofrann SENYÈ a.
Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
18 Alò Samuel te fè sèvis devan SENYÈ a tankou yon jenn gason abiye ak yon efòd fèt ak len.
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Epi manman li ta fè pou li yon ti manto pou pote ba li chak ane lè l te monte avèk mari li pou ofri sakrifis la.
Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
20 Alò, Éli ta beni Elkana avèk madanm li e di: “Ke SENYÈ a ba ou pitit pa fanm sa a pou ranplase sila ke li te konsakre bay SENYÈ a.” Epi yo te ale lakay yo.
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give you seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.
21 SENYÈ a te vizite Anne. Li te vin ansent e te bay nesans a twa fis ak de fi. Epi gason Samuel la te grandi devan SENYÈ a.
And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
22 Alò Éli te vin trè vye. Li te tande tout sa ke fis li yo t ap fè a tout Israël la ak jan yo te kouche avèk fanm ki te sèvi nan pòtay tant asanble a.
Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou konn fè bagay parèy sa yo, bagay mechan ke m tande tout moun sa yo pale yo?
And he said unto them, Why do all of you such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
24 Non, fis mwen yo, rapò ke m tande sikile pami pèp la pa bon.
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: all of you make the LORD's people to transgress.
25 Si yon nonm vin peche kont yon lòt, Bondye va entèsede pou li. Men si yon nonm peche kont SENYÈ a, se kilès ki kab entèsede pou li?” Men yo pa t koute vwa a papa yo, paske SENYÈ a te vle mete yo a lanmò.
If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall implore for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
26 Alò, gason Samuel t ap grandi nan wotè ak nan favè avèk SENYÈ a e avèk tout moun.
And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
27 Alò, yon nonm Bondye te vin kote Éli e te di li: “Men konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘Èske Mwen pa t vrèman revele Mwen menm a kay zansèt ou yo lè yo te an Égypte nan esklavaj lakay Farawon an?
And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of your father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
28 Èske Mwen pa t chwazi yo soti nan tout tribi Israël yo pou devni prèt Mwen, pou monte vè lotèl Mwen, pou brile lansan, pou pote yon efòd devan Mwen? Epi èske Mwen pa t bay lakay zansèt nou yo tout ofrann dife fis Israël yo?
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of your father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
29 Poukisa ou voye pye kont sakrifis Mwen ak sou ofrann ke M te kòmande nan kay abitasyon Mwen an, e bay onè a fis ou yo plis ke Mwen menm lè nou fè nou menm gra avèk pi bèl chwa a chak ofrann pèp Mwen an, Israël?’
Wherefore kick all of you at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honour your sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
30 Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la deklare: ‘Mwen te vrèman di ke lakay ou ak lakay zansèt ou yo ta dwe mache devan Mwen pou tou tan.’ Men koulye a SENYÈ a deklare: ‘Ou lwen de sa a — paske sila ki onore Mwen yo, Mwen va onore yo. Men sila ki meprize Mwen yo, Mwen va meprize yo.
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel says, I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD says, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Gade byen, jou yo ap vini ke Mwen va kase fòs ou ak fòs lakay zansèt nou yo jiskaske pa gen yon granmoun lakay nou.
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off your arm, and the arm of your father's house, that there shall not be an old man in your house.
32 Ou va wè twoub nan abitasyon Mwen, malgre tout byen ke m va fè pou Israël. Se pa pou tout tan ou ap gen yon granmoun lakay ou.
And you shall see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in your house for ever.
33 Moun pa w ke M pa koupe retire nèt tout sou lotèl Mwen an, jiskaske zye nou manje, e fè kè w trist nèt. Tout desandan lakay nou yo va vin mouri ak gwo fòs jènes yo toujou sou yo.
And the man of yours, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume your eyes, and to grieve your heart: and all the increase of your house shall die in the flower of their age.
34 Sa va yon sign pou nou menm ki va vini konsènan de fis ou yo, Hophni avèk Phinées: Nan menm jou a, yo toude va mouri.
And this shall be a sign unto you, that shall come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
35 Men Mwen va fè leve pou kont Mwen yon prèt fidèl ki va fèt selon sa ki nan kè M ak nan nanm Mwen. Epi Mwen va bati pou li yon kay k ap dire e li va mache toujou devan onksyon Mwen.
And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
36 Tout sila ki rete lakay ou yo va vin bese ba a li menm pou yon pyès ajan, oswa yon mòso pen. Yo va di: “Souple, ban m yon plas nan youn nan pozisyon prèt yo pou m kab manje yon mòso pen.”’”
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in your house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray you, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
