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 went forth all the sons of Israel, and the assembly came together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba with the land of Gilead, —unto Yahweh 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—all the tribes of Israel—presented themselves in the convocation of the people of God, —four hundred thousand footmen, that drew the 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?”

And the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah. Then said the sons of Israel, Tell [us], In what manner was brought to pass this vileness?

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, husband of the woman that was cut in pieces, responded and said, —Into Gibeah that pertaineth to Benjamin, I entered, I and my concubine, to tarry the night.

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 owners of Gibeah rose up against me, and beset the house, for my sake, by night, —me, they thought to slay, and, my concubine, they so humbled, that she died.

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.

So I laid hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel, —because they had wrought lewdness and impiety, in Israel.

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

Lo! ye all, are sons of Israel, —give your word and counsel, here.

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.

Then arose all the people, as one man, saying, —No man of us will go to his tent, and no man of us will turn aside to his house.

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

Now, therefore, this is the thing, that we will do to Gibeah, —[Go] 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, of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand, to fetch provisions for the people, —that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the impiety that it hath 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 together against the city, as one man knit together.

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 throughout all the divisions of Benjamin, saying, —What is this vile thing that hath been brought 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 sons of the Abandoned One—who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and vileness be consumed out of Israel. But [the sons of] Benjamin would not hearken unto the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel.

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

Then did the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together out of the cities, unto Gibeah, —to go forth to battle against the sons 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 sons of Benjamin were numbered on that day, out of the cities, twenty-six thousand men, that drew the sword, —besides, of the inhabitants of Gibeah, were 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.

Out of all this people, were seven hundred chosen men, left-handed, —any one of whom could sling with a stone to a hair’s-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, were numbered, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, that drew the sword, —every one of these being a man 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 they arose, and went up to Bethel, and asked of God, and the sons of Israel said, Who shall go up for us first, to fight against the sons of Benjamin? And Yahweh said—Judah, first.

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

And the sons of Israel arose 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 forth, to fight against Benjamin, —so the men of Israel set themselves in array against them, to fight against 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.

Then came forth the sons of Benjamin out of Gibeah, —and laid low of Israel, on that day, twenty-two thousand men, to the ground.

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 again set themselves in array for battle in the place where they had set themselves in array on 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.”

Now the sons of Israel had gone up, and wept before Yahweh, until the evening, and asked of Yahweh, saying, Shall I again draw near to battle against the sons of Benjamin, my brother? And Yahweh said, Go up against him.

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

So the sons of Israel came near against the sons of Benjamin, on 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 came forth to meet them out of Gibeah, on the second day, and laid low, of the sons of Israel, yet eighteen thousand men, to the ground, —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 went up all the sons of Israel, and all the people, and came to Bethel, and wept, and tarried there before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, until the evening, —and caused to go up ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, before Yahweh.

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

And the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, —there, being the ark of the covenant of God, 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, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was standing before it in those days, saying: Shall I yet again go forth to battle, against the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or shall I forbear? And Yahweh said—Go up, for, to-morrow, will I 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.

So the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin, on the third day, —and set themselves in array against Gibeah, as time after time.

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 sons of Benjamin came forth against the people, they were drawn away from the city, —and began to smite of the people, slaying as time after time, in the highways, whereof, one, goeth up to Bethel, and, the other, to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men in 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.”

Then said the sons of Benjamin, They are, being smitten, before us, as at the first. But the sons of Israel had said—Let us flee, and draw them away from the city, into 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 in Baal-tamar, —and, the liers in wait of Israel, began to break forth out of their place, out of the forest of Gibeah.

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 severe, —they, not knowing that disaster was overtaking 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

Thus Yahweh smote Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed in Benjamin, that day, twenty-five thousand and one 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 sons of Benjamin saw that they were smitten, —and that the men of Israel had given place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the liers in wait, whom they had set near 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, hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah, —and the liers in wait marched forward, 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, the appointed sign, between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, had been, —to cause a great cloud of smoke to ascend 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.”

So, when the men of Israel turned in the battle, —and, the Benjamites, began to smite and slay of the sons of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, Yea! they are, smitten, 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.

then, the cloud, began to ascend out of the city, a pillar of smoke, —and the Benjamites looked behind them, and lo! the whole city flamed up towards the heavens.

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, when, the men of Israel, turned, then were the men of Benjamin dismayed, —for they saw that disaster had overtaken 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.

And, when they turned before the men of Israel unto the way of the desert, the battle, over took them, —while, as for them that came out of the cities, they began to destroy them in their midst: —

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 hemmed in the Benjamites, they pursued them, with ease, trode they them down, —as far as over against Gibeah, towards sunrise.

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

So there fell of Benjamin, eighteen thousand men, —all these being 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, when they turned and fled towards the desert unto the cliff Rimmon, then gleaned they of them, in the highways, five thousand men, —and they followed hard after them as far as 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 then it came to pass that, all the fallen of Benjamin, were twenty-five thousand men, that drew the sword, on that day, —all these being 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 there turned and fled, towards the desert, unto the cliff Rimmon, six hundred men, —who abode in the cliff 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.

Thus, the men of Israel, turned against the sons of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, beginning with the city, each and every one down to the beast, even to every one that was met with, —moreover, all the cities they came to, they set on fire.
