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 rejoiceth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in 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 as the LORD: for [there is] none besides thee: 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] arrogance 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 hath borne seven; and she that hath many children is become 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 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 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 the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth 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 hath 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 to 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 ministered to 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 flesh-hook 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 flesh-hook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh to 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 boiled flesh of thee, 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 to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, [No]; but thou shalt give [it to 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 thee issue of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went to 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 bore 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 to 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 to them, Why do ye 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.
No, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear: ye 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 shall sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man shall sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not to 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 continued to grow, and was 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 to Eli, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear to 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 choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to be] my priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of thy 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 ye at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honorest thy 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 saith, I said indeed [that] thy house, and the house of thy father should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, 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 thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, 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 see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy 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 thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from my altar, [shall be] to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy heart: and all the increase of thy 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 to thee, that shall come upon thy 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 my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my 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 thy house, shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priest's offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
