Jij 20

1 Konsa, tout fis Israël yo depi Dan jis rive Beer-Schéba, menm avèk peyi Galaad la te sòti e kongregasyon an te rasanble kòm yon sèl òm a SENYÈ a nan Mitspa.

Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD at Mizpah.

2 Chèf a tout pèp yo, menm tout tribi an Israël yo, te vin kanpe nan asanble a pèp Bondye a, kat-san-mil sòlda a pye ki te rale nepe.

And the chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword. —

3 (Alò, fis a Benjamin yo te tande ke fis Israël yo te monte Mitspa.) Epi fis Israël yo te di: “Pale nou kijan mechanste sa a te vin rive?”

Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpah. — And the children of Israel said: 'Tell us, how was this wickedness brought to pass?'

4 Epi Levit la, mari a fanm nan ki te asasine a, te reponn e te di: “Mwen te vini avèk mennaj mwen pou pase nwit lan Guibea ki pou Benjamin.

And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was murdered, answered and said: 'I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

5 Men mesye Guibea yo te leve kont mwen, yo te antoure kay la pandan nwit lan akoz mwen menm. Yo te gen entansyon touye mwen; men olye de sa, yo te vyole mennaj mwen jiskaske li te vin mouri.

And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night; me they thought to have slain, and my concubine they forced, and she is dead.

6 Epi mwen te pran mennaj mwen an, mwen te koupe li an mòso e mwen te voye li nan tout peyi eritaj Israël la, paske yo te komèt yon zak ki lèd e malonèt an Israël.

And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have committed lewdness and wantonness in Israel.

7 Gade byen, tout fis Israël yo, bay lide avèk konsèy nou isit la.”

Behold, ye are all here, children of Israel, give here your advice and council.'

8 Alò, tout pèp la te leve kòm yon sèl moun, e yo te di: “Pa gen menm youn nan nou k ap tounen nan tant li, ni nou p ap retounen lakay nou.

And all the people arose as one man, saying: 'We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn unto his house.

9 Men kisa n ap fè Guibea; nou va monte kont li pa tiraj osò.

But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;

10 Epi nou va pran dizòm sou san nan tout tribi Israël yo, san sou mil e mil sou dis-mil pou founi manje pou pèp la jiskaske yo vini Guibea nan Benjamin, pou yo kapab pini yo pou tout zak malonèt yo te fè an Israël yo.”

and we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victuals for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the wantonness that they have wrought in Israel.'

11 Konsa, tout fis Israël yo te rasanble kont vil la, tèt yo ansanm kòm yon sèl moun.

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

12 Alò, tribi Israël yo te voye mesye yo pami tout tribi Benjamin an, e yo te di: “Ki kalite mechanste sa ki te fèt pami nou an?

And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying: 'What wickedness is this that is come to pass among you?

13 Pou sa, livre bannou mesye sa yo, sanzave Guibea yo, pou nou kab mete yo a lanmò e retire mechanste sa an Israël.” Men fis Benjamin yo te refize koute vwa a frè yo, fis an Israël yo.

Now therefore deliver up the men, the base fellows that are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel.' But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.

14 Fis a Benjamin yo te rasanble soti nan vil Guibea yo, pou sòti nan batay kont fis Israël yo.

And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of their cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.

15 Soti nan vil yo, nan jou sa a, fis Benjamin yo te monte ak venn-si-mil mesye ki te rale nepe, anplis moun Guibea ki te konte a sèt-san òm ekstrawòdinè.

And the children of Benjamin numbered on that day out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred chosen men.

16 Pami tout moun sa yo, sèt-san òm ekstrawòdinè yo se te moun goche. Yo chak ta kapab tire yon wòch avèk fistibal sou yon grenn cheve e yo pa janm pa pran l.

All this people, even seven hundred chosen men, were left-handed; every one could sling stones at a hair-breadth, and not miss.

17 Alò, lòt mesye Israël yo anplis Benjamin te konte nan kat-san-mil òm ki rale nepe. Tout sila yo se te moun lagè.

And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword; all these were men of war.

18 Alò, fis Israël yo te leve monte Béthel. Yo te mande Bondye, e te di: “Se kilès ki va monte avan pou fè batay kont fis Benjamin yo?” Alò, SENYÈ a te di: “Juda va monte avan.”

And the children of Israel arose, and went up to Beth-el, and asked counsel of God; and they said: 'Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?' And the LORD said: 'Judah first.'

19 Alò, fis Israël yo te leve nan maten, e yo te fè kan kont Guibea.

And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.

20 Mesye Israël yo te sòti pou batay kont Benjamin e mesye Israël yo te pran pozisyon batay kont yo nan Guibea.

And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.

21 Alò, fis Benjamin yo te parèt deyò nan Guibea, e yo te fè tonbe atè nan jou sa a, venn-de-mil òm nan Izrayelit yo.

And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites on that day twenty and two thousand men.

22 Men pèp la, mesye Israël yo, te ankouraje youn lòt e te vin pran plas batay la menm kote ke yo te vin parèt nan premye jou a.

And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves, and set the battle again in array in the place where they set themselves in array the first day.

23 Fis Israël yo te monte e kriye devan SENYÈ a jis rive nan aswè. Yo te fè mande SENYÈ a e te di: “Èske nou dwe pwoche ankò pou fè batay kont fis a frè m yo, Benjamin?” Epi SENYÈ a te reponn: “Monte kont li.”

And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even; and they asked of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I again draw nigh to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?' And the LORD said: 'Go up against him.'

24 Alò, fis Israël yo te vini kont fis a Benjamin yo nan dezyèm jou a.

And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.

25 Benjamin te sòti kont yo soti Guibea nan dezyèm jou a e yo te fè tonbe atè, ankò 18,000 òm pami fis Israël yo; tout moun ki te rale nepe yo.

And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.

26 Alò, tout fis Israël yo ak tout pèp la te monte rive Béthel e te kriye. Konsa, yo te rete la devan SENYÈ a, yo te fè jèn tout jounen an jis rive nan aswè. Epi yo te ofri ofrann brile ak ofrann lapè devan SENYÈ a.

Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto Beth-el, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD.

27 Fis Israël yo te mande devan SENYÈ a (paske lach temwayaj la te la nan jou sa yo,

And the children of Israel asked of the LORD — for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

28 epi Phinées, fis a Éléazar a, fis Aaron an, te kanpe devan li pou fè sèvis nan jou sila yo, epi yo te di: “Èske mwen dwe sòti menm yon lòt fwa nan batay kont fis a frè m yo, Benjamin, oswa èske m dwe sispann?” Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Monte, paske demen Mwen va livre yo nan men nou.”

and Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days — saying: 'Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?' And the LORD said: 'Go up; for to-morrow I will deliver him into thy hand.'

29 Konsa, Israël te pozisyone mesye yo antoure Guibea pou fè anbiskad.

And Israel set liers-in-wait against Gibeah round about.

30 Fis Israël yo te monte kont fis Benjamin yo nan twazyèm jou a e yo te pozisyone yo menm jan ke yo te fè nan lòt fwa yo.

And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.

31 Fis Benjamin yo te sòti kont yo e te rale soti kite vil la. Konsa, yo te kòmanse frape e touye kèk moun nan pèp la, menm jan ak lòt fwa yo, sou gran chemen yo, youn ki te monte a Béthel e lòt la Guibea, anviwon trant mesye Izrayelit.

And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite and kill of the people, as at other times, in the field, in the highways, of which one goeth up to Beth-el, and the other to Gibeah, about thirty men of Israel.

32 Fis a Benjamin yo te di: “Yo vin frape tonbe devan nou, menm jan ak lòt fwa a.” Men fis Israël yo te di: “Annou sove ale pou nou kapab atire yo kite vil la rive nan gran chemen yo.”

And the children of Benjamin said: 'They are smitten down before us, as at the first.' But the children of Israel said: 'Let us flee, and draw them away from the city unto the highways.'

33 Epi tout fis Israël yo te leve sou plas yo pou te vin parèt nan Baal-Thamar. Konsa mesye Israël nan anbiskad yo te sòti nan plas pa yo, kote Maaré-Guibea menm.

And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and set themselves in array at Baal-tamar; and the liers-in-wait of Israel broke forth out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.

34 Lè di-mil òm ekstrawòdinè nan tout Israël yo te parèt kont Guibea, batay la te vin fewòs; men mesye Benjamin yo pa t konnen ke yon gwo dega t ap pwoche yo.

And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore; but they knew not that evil was close upon them.

35 Epi SENYÈ a te frape Benjamin devan Israël jiskaske fis Israël yo te detwi venn-senk-mil-san moun nan Benjamin nan jou sa a, tout moun ki te rale nepe yo

And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty and five thousand and a hundred men; all these drew the sword.

36 Konsa, fis Benjamin yo te wè ke yo te fin bat yo. Paske lè mesye Israël yo te bay teren an a fis Benjamin yo, se te akoz yo te depann de mesye ki t ap fè anbiskad yo, pou yo te voye kont Guibea.

So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten. And the men of Israel gave place to Benjamin, because they trusted unto the liers-in-wait whom they had set against Gibeah. —

37 Mesye anbiskad yo te kouri kont Guibea; epi yo te ouvri pou voye frape tout vil la avèk lam nepe.

And the liers-in-wait hastened, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers-in-wait drew forth, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

38 Alò, siyal ki te prevwa antre mesye Israël yo ak mesye anbiskad yo se te ke yo ta fè yon gran nwaj lafimen leve sòti nan vil la.

Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers-in-wait, that they should make a great beacon of smoke rise up out of the city. —

39 Alò, mesye Israël yo te vire nan batay la e Benjamin te kòmanse frape e touye anviwon trant mesye Izrayelit, paske yo te di: “Vrèman, yo detwi devan nou, tankou nan premye batay la.”

And the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said: 'Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.'

40 Men lè nwaj la te kòmanse leve sòti lavil la tankou yon pilye gwo lafimen, Benjamit yo te gade dèyè yo; epi gade byen, nan tout vil la, lafimen t ap monte vè syèl la.

But when the beacon began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the whole of the city went up in smoke to heaven.

41 Alò, moun Israël yo te vire e mesye Benjamin yo te vin sezi avèk laperèz; paske yo te wè ke yon gwo dega te sou yo.

And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that evil was come upon them.

42 Pou sa, yo te vire do devan Israël vè dezè a, men batay la te vin jwenn yo pandan sila ki te sòti nan vil yo te detwi yo nan mitan li.

Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the city destroyed them in the midst of the men of Israel.

43 Yo te vin antoure mesye Benjamin yo; yo te pouswiv yo san repo e yo te foule yo anba pye anfas Guibea vè lès la.

They inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and overtook them at their resting-place, as far as over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.

44 Konsa, diz-uit-mil òm a Benjamin te tonbe; tout sila yo se te vanyan gèrye.

And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.

45 Rès yo te sove ale vè dezè a nan wòch Rimmon. Men yo te kenbe senk-mil nan yo sou chemen e te vin rive sou yo nan Guideom. Yo te touye de-mil nan yo.

And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon; and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and followed hard after them unto Gidom, and smote of them two thousand men.

46 Konsa, tout Benjamit ki te tonbe nan jou sa yo se te venn-senk-mil òm ki te rale nepe; tout sila yo se te vanyan gèrye.

So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.

47 Men sis-san òm te vire kouri vè dezè a nan wòch Rimmon e yo te rete nan wòch Rimmon pandan kat mwa.

But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rock of Rimmon four months.

48 Mesye Israël yo, alò, te vire retounen kont fis a Benjamin yo pou te frape yo avèk lam nepe, tout vil la avèk bèt yo ak tout sa ke yo te twouve. Anplis, yo te mete dife nan tout vil ke yo te twouve yo.

And the men of Israel turned back upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city, and the cattle, and all that they found; moreover all the cities which they found they set on fire.
