1 Samyèl 7

1 Epi mesye nan Kirjath-Jearim yo te vin pran lach SENYÈ a e te pote li antre lakay Abinadab sou ti mòn nan, epi yo te konsakre Éléazar, fis li a, pou okipe lach SENYÈ a.

And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and brought up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

2 Soti nan jou ke lach la te rete Kirjath-Jearim nan, tan ekoule a te byen long—paske li te pran ventan avan tout lakay Israël te fè lamantasyon devan SENYÈ a.

And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

3 Konsa Samuel te pale a tout lakay Israël la, e te di: “Si nou retounen vè SENYÈ a avèk tout kè nou, si nou retire dye etranje yo avèk Asheroth soti nan mitan nou, si nou dirije kè nou vè SENYÈ a, e sèvi Li sèl, Li va delivre nou soti nan men a Filisten yo.”

And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return to the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods, and Ashtaroth, from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.

4 Konsa, fis Israël yo te retire Baal yo ak Astarté yo pou te sèvi sèl SENYÈ a.

Then the children of Israel put away Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

5 Alò, Samuel te di: “Rasanble tout Israël nan Mitspa e mwen va priye a SENYÈ a pou nou.”

And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to the LORD.

6 Yo te rasanble nan Mitspa; yo te rale dlo pou te vide devan SENYÈ a, e yo te fè jèn nan jou sila a. Yo te di nan plas sa a: “Nou te peche kont SENYÈ a.” Konsa, Samuel te jije fis Israël yo nan Mitspa.

And they assembled at Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and there said, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

7 Alò, lè Filisten yo te tande ke fis Israël yo te rasanble nan Mitspa, e prens a Filisten yo te vin monte kont Israël. Lè fis Israël yo te tande sa, yo te krent Filisten yo.

And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were assembled at Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines.

8 Pou sa a, fis Israël yo te di a Samuel: “Pa sispann kriye a SENYÈ Bondye nou an pou nou, pou Li kapab sove nou soti nan men a Filisten yo.”

And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us from the hand of the Philistines.

9 Samuel te pran yon ti mouton ki potko sevre e li te ofri tout li kòm yon ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a. Samuel te kriye a SENYÈ a pou Israël e SENYÈ a te reponn li.

And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt-offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.

10 Pandan Samuel t ap ofri ofrann brile a, Filisten yo te rapwoche pou fè batay kont Israël. Men SENYÈ a te gwonde nan jou sa a kont Filisten yo. Li te fè yon malkonprann antre yo, e Li te boulvèse yo devan Israël.

And as Samuel was offering the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

11 Mesye Israël yo te sòti nan Mitspa pou te kouri dèyè Filisten yo e yo te frape yo ba jis rive piba Beth-Car.

And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Beth-car.

12 Alò, Samuel te pran yon gwo wòch, e li te poze li antre Mitspa ak Schen e li te ba li non a Ében-Ézer. Li te di: “Jis rive la, SENYÈ a te ede nou.”

Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.

13 Konsa, Filisten yo te vin soumèt, e yo pa t vin ankò anndan fwontyè Israël la. Konsa, men SENYÈ a te kont Filisten yo pandan tout jou a Samuel yo.

So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the borders of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14 Vil ke Filisten yo te sezi soti an Israël yo te restore a Israël, soti Ékron jis rive Gath. Epi Israël te rachte teritwa yo nan men a Filisten yo. Konsa, te gen lapè antre Israël ak Amoreyen yo.

And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and the borders of it did Israel deliver from the hands of the Philistines: and there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15 Alò, Samuel te jije Israël pandan tout jou lavi li yo.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16 Li te konn ale chak ane fè yon tou Béthel avèk Guilgal, ak Mitspa, e li te jije Israël tout kote sa yo.

And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.

17 Alò vwayaj retou li sete nan Rama; paske se la lakay li te ye. Se la li te jije Israël; epi li te bati la yon lotèl bay SENYÈ a.

And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to the LORD.
