Jij 21
1 Alò, mesye Israël yo te deja sèmante nan Mitspa. Yo te di: “Pa gen nan nou menm k ap bay fi li a Benjamin nan maryaj.”
Also the sones of Israel sworen in Maspha, and seiden, Noon of vs schal yyue to the sones of Beniamyn a wijf of his douytris.
2 Konsa, pèp la te vini Béthel e yo te chita la devan Bondye jis rive nan aswè, epi yo te leve vwa yo e te kriye amè.
And `alle camen to the hows of God in Silo, and thei saten in the `siyt of hym `til to euentid, and thei reisiden the vois, and bigunnen to wepe with greet yellyng,
3 Yo te di: “Poukisa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, èske bagay sa a vin rive an Israël pou youn nan tribi yo jodi a ta vin disparèt an Israël?”
and seiden, Lord God of Israel, whi is this yuel don in thi puple, that to dai o lynage be takun awey of vs?
4 Li te vin rive nan pwochen jou an ke pèp la te leve bonè. Yo te bati yon lotèl e yo te ofri ofrann brile avèk ofrann lapè.
Sotheli in the tother day thei risiden eerli, and bildyden an auter, and offriden there brent sacrifices and pesible sacrifices, and seiden,
5 Konsa, fis Israël yo te di: “Kilès ki pami tout tribi Israël yo ki pa t monte nan asanble SENYÈ a?” Paske, yo te fè yon gran ve pou sila ki pa monte vè SENYÈ a nan Mitspa, epi yo te di: “Li va vrèman vin mete a lanmò.”
Who of alle the lynagis of Israel stiede not in to the oost of the Lord? For whanne thei weren in Maspha, thei `hadden bounde hem silf with a greuouse ooth, that thei that failiden schulden be slayn.
6 Fis Israël yo te tris; yo te plen regrè pou Benjamin, frè parèy yo a, e yo te di: “Yon tribi vin koupe nèt sou Israël jodi a.
And the sones of Israel weren led bi penaunce on her brother Beniamyn, and bigunnen to seie, O lynage of Israel is takun awey;
7 Kisa nou ap fè pou twouve madanm pou sila ki rete yo, akoz nou te sèmante pa SENYÈ a pou nou pa bay okenn nan fi pa nou yo nan maryaj?”
wherof schulen thei take wyues? for alle we sworen in comyn, that we schulen not yyue oure douytris to hem.
8 Epi yo te di: “Kilès sila pami tribi Israël yo ki pa t monte kote SENYÈ a nan Mitspa?” Gade byen, pèsòn pa t monte nan kan an sòti nan Jabès-Galaad pou patisipe nan asanble a.
Therfor thei seiden, Who is of alle the lynagis of Israel, that stiede not to the Lord in Maspha? And lo! the dwelleris of Jabes of Galaad weren foundun, that thei weren not in the oost.
9 Paske, lè pèp la te konte, gade byen, pèsòn nan sila ki rete Jabès-Galaad yo pa t la.
Also in that tyme, whanne thei weren in Silo, noon of hem was foundun there.
10 Konsa, kongregasyon an te voye douz-mil gèrye vanyan rive la e yo te pase lòd di yo konsa: “Ale frape sila ki rete Jabès-Galaad yo avèk lam nepe, ni fanm yo ak pitit yo.
Therfor thei senten ten thousynde strongeste men, and comaundiden to hem, Go ye, and smyte the dwelleris of Jabes of Galaad bi the scharpnesse of swerd, as wel the wyues as `the litle children of hem.
11 Men kisa ou va fè, ou va detwi nèt tout gason ak tout fanm ki gen tan kouche avèk yon gason.”
And this thing schal be, which ye `owen to kepe, sle ye alle of male kynde, and the wymmen, that knewen men fleischli; reserue ye the virgyns.
12 Epi yo te jwenn pami moun Jabès-Galaad yo, kat-san jèn vyèj ki pa t konnen yon gason kouche avèk li. Konsa, yo te mennen yo nan kan an Silo ki nan peyi Kananeyen yo.
And foure hundrid virgyns, that knewen not the bed of man, weren foundun of Jabes of Galaad; and thei brouyten hem to the castels in Silo, in to the lond of Chanaan.
13 Epi tout kongregasyon an te voye pale avèk fis Benjamin ki te nan wòch Rimmon yo e te deklare lapè pou yo.
And `thei senten messangeris to the sones of Beniamyn, that weren in the stoon of Remmon; and thei comaundiden to hem, that thei schulden resseyue tho wymmen in pees.
14 Nan lè sa a, Benjamin te retounen e yo te bay yo kat-san fi ke yo te kenbe vivan soti Jabès-Galaad. Men, li poko te kont pou yo.
And the sones of Beniamyn camen in that tyme, and the douytris of Jabes of Galaad weren youun to hem to wyues; forsothe thei founden not othere wymmen, whiche thei schulden yyue in lijk maner.
15 Konsa, pèp la te tris e te plen regrè pou fis Benjamin yo paske SENYÈ a te fè yon brèch nan tribi Israël yo.
And al Israel sorewide greetly, and dide penaunce on the sleyng of o lynage of Israel.
16 Epi ansyen nan kongregasyon yo te vin di: “Kisa nou va fè pou sila ki rete toujou, kòmsi fanm nan Benjamin yo detwi?”
And the grettere men in birthe seiden, What schulen we do to the othere men, that han not take wyues? Alle the wymmen in Beniamyn felden doun,
17 Yo te di: “Fòk gen eritaj pou retay Benjamin an, jis pou tribi a pa efase nèt sou Israël.
and it `is to vs to puruey `with greet cure and greet studie, that o lynage be not don awey fro Israel.
18 Alò, nou pa kab ba yo madanm pami fi nou yo.” Paske fis Israël yo te sèmante e yo te di: “Modi se sila ki bay yon madanm a Benjamin.”
We moun not yyue oure douytris to hem, for we ben boundun with an ooth and cursyng, bi which we seiden, Be he cursid that yyueth of hise douytris a wijf to Beniamyn.
19 Konsa, yo te di: “Gade byen, gen yon fèt a SENYÈ a chak ane nan Silo, ki nan kote nò a Béthel, sou lès a gran chemen ki monte soti Béthel pou rive Sichem nan, vè kote sid a Lebona.”
And thei token a counsel, and seiden, Lo! annyuersarie solempnyte of the Lord is in Silo, whych is set at the north of the citee of Bethel, and at the eest coost of the weie that goith from Bethel to Siccyma, and at the south of the citee of Lebona.
20 Pou sa a, yo te kòmande fis Benjamin yo konsa: “Ale kache tann nan chan rezen yo,
And thei comaundiden to the sones of Beniamyn, and seiden, Go ye, be ye hid in the vyneris;
21 epi gade byen, veye, si fi a Silo yo sòti deyò pou patisipe nan dans lan, nou va sòti nan chan rezen yo, e nou chak va kouri kenbe madanm li pami fi a Silo yo e ale avè l nan peyi Benjamin?
and whanne ye seen douytris of Silo go forth bi custom to lede daunsis, go ye out of the vyneris sudeynli, and rauysche ye hem, eche man o wijf, and go ye in to the lond of Beniamyn.
22 Li va rive ke lè papa yo oswa frè yo vin plenyen a nou, ke nou va di yo: ‘Ba yo a nou avèk bòn volonte; paske nan batay la, nou pa t konsève yon fanm pou chak Benjamit, ni nou pa t founi youn pou yo, sinon koulye a menm, nou ta koupab.’”
And whanne the fadris and britheren of hem schulen come, and bigynne to pleyne and plete ayens you, we schulen seie to hem, Haue ye mercy of hem; for thei rauyschiden not hem bi riyt of fiyteris and ouercomeris, but ye `yauen not to hem preiynge that thei schulden take; and the synne is of youre part.
23 Konsa fis a Benjamin yo te fè e te pran madanm selon fòs kantite yo pami sila ki te danse yo, pou yo te pote ale. Konsa, yo te ale retounen nan eritaj pa yo, e te rebati vil pa yo pou te viv ladan yo.
And the sones of Beniamyn diden as it was comaundid to hem, and bi her noumbre thei rauyschiden wyues to hem, ech man o wijf, of hem that ledden daunsis. And thei yeden in to her possessioun, and bildiden citees, and dwelliden in tho.
24 Fis Israël yo te pati la nan lè sa a, chak òm ak pwòp tribi ak fanmi li, e yo chak te sòti la pou rive nan pwòp eritaj pa yo.
And the sones of Israel turneden ayen, bi lynagis and meynees, in to her tabernaclis.
25 Nan jou sa yo, pa t gen wa an Israël. Tout moun te fè sa ki te bon nan pwòp zye pa yo.
In tho dayes was no kyng in Israel, but ech man dide this, that semyde ryytful to hym silf.
