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 is glad in the Lord, my horn is exalted through the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy 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 like the Lord; for there is none beside thee; and there is not 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 arrogance come out of your mouth; for a God of knowledge is the Lord, and by him are actions weighed.
4 “Banza a pwisan yo vin fann, kraze nèt, men fèb yo vin gen fòs.
The bow of the mighty is broken, and those 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 hire themselves out for bread; and they that were hungry cease [from labor]: while the barren hath born seven, she that hath many children fadeth away.
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 killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 SENYÈ a fè pòv ak rich. Li abese e anplis, Li leve.
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich: he bringeth low and also lifteth 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 raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy, to set them among nobles, and he assigneth them the throne of glory; for the Lord's are the pillars of the earth, on which he hath set the world.
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 ever guardeth the feet of his pious ones, and the wicked shall be made silent in darkness; for not by strength can 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 Lord—his adversaries will be crushed; out of heaven will he thunder upon them: the Lord will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and lift up 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 lad was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli the priest.
12 Alò, fis a Éli yo te vagabon. Yo pa t konnen SENYÈ a,
And the sons of 'Eli were worthless men: 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 custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while [the man] was seething the flesh, with a fork with 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 the kettle, or the caldron, or the pot; [and] all that the fork brought up the priest took away with it. So did they unto all the Israelites that came thither, to Shiloh.
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.”
Even before they had yet burnt the fat, the priest's servant would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not take from thee sodden flesh, 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 the man said unto him, They will surely presently burn the fat, and then take whatever thy soul may long for: then would he say, No; but thou shalt 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.
And the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord; for the men despised 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 was ministering before the Lord, being a lad, 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 used to make him a little overcoat, 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, May the Lord give thee seed from this woman instead of the loan who is lent to the Lord. And they went back unto his place.
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 truly the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the lad Samuel grew up 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 were in the habit of doing unto all Israel; and how they would lie 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 will ye do such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
24 Non, fis mwen yo, rapò ke m tande sikile pami pèp la pa bon.
No, my sons; for the report that I hear is not good, which the Lord's people spread abroad.
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 against the Lord a man should sin, who shall pray for him? Nevertheless would they not hearken unto the voice of their father, because the Lord desired to slay them.
26 Alò, gason Samuel t ap grandi nan wotè ak nan favè avèk SENYÈ a e avèk tout moun.
And the lad Samuel was constantly growing and increasing in favor 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 hath said the Lord, Did I [not] appear unto the house of thy 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 [not] choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to me as a priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I [not] give unto the house of thy father all the fire-offerings 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 ye at my sacrifice and at my meat-offering, which I have commanded in [my] habitation? and [why] honoredst thou thy sons above me, to fatten yourselves with the first of every offering 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.
Therefore saith the Lord the God of Israel, I had indeed said, Thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; but now, saith the Lord, Be it far from me; for those that honor me will I honor, and those 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, days are coming, that I will hew off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, so that there shall not be an old man in thy 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 thou shalt behold a rival in my habitation, in all that by which he will do good for Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house in all times.
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 yet I will not cut off the men descended from thee from my altar, to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy soul: and all the increase of thy house shall die as [vigorous] men.
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 unto thee the sign, that shall happen on thy two sons, on Chophni and Phinehas: On one day shall they, both of them, die.
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 up to me a faithful priest, who shall do in accordance with what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build for him an enduring house; and he shall walk before my anointed in all times.
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 whoever is left in thy house shall come to bow down to him for a gera of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Attach me, I pray thee, unto one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
