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 it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go 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 said, I verily thought that you had utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray you, instead of her.
3 Samson te di a yo: “Fwa sa a, mwen p ap gen tò anvè Filisten yo lè m fè yo mal.”
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a 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 and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
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 brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
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 Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, 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 said unto them, Though all of you have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will 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.
And he stroke them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
9 Alò, Filisten yo te monte fè kan nan Juda e te vin gaye nan Léchi.
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves 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 Judah said, Why are all of you come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us.
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 thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Know you not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that you have done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto 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.”
And they said unto him, We are come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that all of you will not fall upon me yourselves.
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 spoke unto him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
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.
And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
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 jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew 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.”
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain 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 it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
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 thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, You have given this great deliverance into the hand of your servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
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.
But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water from it; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
20 Epi li te jije Israël pandan ventan nan jou a Filisten yo.
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
