Jij 15
1 Men pita, pandan rekòlt ble a, Samson te vizite madanm li avèk yon jenn kabrit. Li te di: “Mwen va antre vè madanm mwen nan chanm li.” Men papa li pa t kite li antre.
But within a while after, in the time of wheate haruest, Samson visited his wife with a kid, saying, I wil go in to my wife into the chamber: but her father would not suffer him to goe in.
2 Papa li te di li: “Mwen te konnen ke ou te tèlman rayi li; epi pou sa, mwen te bay li a zanmi ou an. Èske pi jenn sè li a pa pi bèl pase li? Souple, kite li vin pou ou nan plas li.”
And her father sayde, I thought that thou hadst hated her: therefore gaue I her to thy companion. Is not her yonger sister fayrer then shee? take her, I pray thee, in stead of the other.
3 Samson te di a yo: “Fwa sa a, mwen p ap gen tò anvè Filisten yo lè m fè yo mal.”
Then Samson saide vnto them, Nowe am I more blamelesse then the Philistims: therefore will I doe them displeasure.
4 Samson te ale kenbe twa-san rena. Li te pran tòch yo, e te vire yo mare ke a ke, e li te mete yon tòch nan mitan chak de ke yo.
And Samson went out, and tooke three hundreth foxes, and tooke firebrands, and turned them taile to taile, and put a firebrand in ye middes betweene two tailes.
5 Lè l te fin limen tòch yo, li te lage rena yo nan chan sereyal Filisten yo, e te brile pakèt sereyal yo ak ble, ansanm avèk chan rezen avèk lòt chan bwa fwi.
And when he had set the brandes on fire, he sent them out into the standing corne of the Philistims, and burnt vp both the rickes and the standing corne with the vineyardes and oliues.
6 Konsa, Filisten yo te di: “Kilès ki te fè sa?” Yo te reponn: “Samson, bofi a Timnyen an, akoz li te pran madanm li pou te bay li a konpanyen li.” Pou sa, Filisten yo te monte e te brile ni madanm nan, ni papa li avèk dife.
Then the Philistims sayde, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson the sonne in law of the Timnite, because hee had taken his wife, and giuen her to his companion. Then the Philistims came vp and burnt her and her father with fire.
7 Samson te di yo: “Akoz n ap aji konsa, mwen va vrèman pran vanjans sou nou, men apre sa, m ap sispann.”
And Samson saide vnto them, Though yee haue done this, yet wil I be auenged of you, and then I wil cease.
8 Li te frape yo byen di avèk yon gwo masak; epi li te desann pou te viv nan krevas wòch la nan Étam.
So hee smote them hippe and thigh with a mightie plague: then hee went and dwelt in the top of the rocke Etam.
9 Alò, Filisten yo te monte fè kan nan Juda e te vin gaye nan Léchi.
Then the Philistims came vp, and pitched in Iudah, and were spred abroad in Lehi.
10 Mesye Juda yo te di: “Poukisa nou vin monte kont nou?” Yo te di: “Nou te monte pou mare Samson dekwa ke nou kab fè l menm bagay ke li te fè nou an.”
And the men of Iudah sayde, Why are yee come vp vnto vs? And they answered, To binde Samson are we come vp, and to do to him as hee hath done to vs.
11 Epi twa-mil lòm Juda te desann vè krevas wòch la nan Étam, e yo te di Samson: “Èske ou pa konnen ke Filisten yo gen tout fòs sou nou? Poukisa, konsa, ou vin fè nou sa?” Epi li te di yo: “Menm jan yo te fè m nan, se konsa mwen te fè yo.”
Then three thousande men of Iudah went to the top of the rocke Etam, and sayde to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistims are rulers ouer vs? Wherefore then hast thou done thus vnto vs? And he answered them, As they did vnto me, so haue I done vnto them.
12 Yo te di li: “Nou te vin isit la pou mare ou pou nou kapab livre ou nan men Filisten yo.” Epi Samson te di yo: “Sèmante a mwen ke nou p ap touye mwen.”
Againe they sayd vnto him, Wee are come to binde thee, and to deliuer thee into the hande of the Philistims. And Samson sayde vnto them, Sweare vnto me, that yee will not fall vpon me your selues.
13 Yo te di li: “Non, men nou va mare ou nèt e livre ou nan men yo; men anverite, nou p ap touye ou.” Yo te mare li avèk de kòd nèf e te mennen li monte soti nan wòch la.
And they answered him, saying, No, but we will bynde thee and deliuer thee vnto their hande, but we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two newe cordes, and brought him from the rocke.
14 Lè li te rive nan Léchi, Filisten yo te rele fò pandan yo t ap rankontre li. Epi Lespri SENYÈ a te vini sou li avèk pouvwa, jiskaske kòd sou bwa li yo te vin tankou pay len ki brile ak dife e kòd yo te tonbe sòti nan men li.
When hee came to Lehi, the Philistims shouted against him, and the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and the cordes that were vpon his armes, became as flaxe that was burnt with fire: for the bandes loosed from his handes.
15 Li te twouve yon zo a machwè bourik fre. Konsa, li te lonje pran l e li te touye mil lòm avèk li.
And he found a new iawebone of an asse, and put forth his hand, and caught it, and slewe a thousand men therewith.
16 Alò, Samson te di: “Avèk machwè a yon bourik, pil sou pil; avèk machwè a yon bourik, mwen te touye yon milye moun.”
Then Samson sayd, With the iaw of an asse are heapes vpon heapes: with the iawe of an asse haue I slaine a thousand men.
17 Lè l te fin pale, li te jete machwè a sòti nan men l; epi plas sa a te rele Ramath-Léchi.
And when he had left speaking, hee cast away the iawebone out of his hande, and called that place, Ramath-Lehi.
18 Alò, li te vin swaf. Li te rele a SENYÈ a e li te di: “Ou te bay delivrans pa men sèvitè Ou e, koulye a, mwen va mouri ak swaf e tonbe nan men a ensikonsi yo?”
And he was sore a thirst, and called on the Lord, and sayde, Thou hast giuen this great deliuerance into the hand of thy seruaunt: and nowe shall I dye for thirst, and fall into the handes of the vncircumcised?
19 Men Bondye te fann kote vid ki nan Léchi a, e dlo te sòti ladann. Lè li te bwè, fòs li te retounen e li te reprann fòs. Pou sa, li te rele kote sa a En-Hakkoré, ki nan Léchi jis rive jodi a.
Then God brake the cheeke tooth, that was in the iawe, and water came thereout: and when he had drunke, his Spirit came againe, and he was reuiued: wherefore the name therof is called, Enhakkore, which is in Lehi vnto this day.
20 Epi li te jije Israël pandan ventan nan jou a Filisten yo.
And hee iudged Israel in the dayes of the Philistims twentie yeeres.
