Jij 9
1 Abimélec, fis a Jerubbaal la te ale nan Sichem vè fanmi manman li. Li te pale ak yo e a tout fanmi lakay granpapa li bò kote manman l. Li te di:
Forsothe Abymelech, the sone of Gerobaal, yede in to Sichem to the britheren of his modir; and he spak to hem, and to al the kynrede of `the hows of his modir, and seide,
2 “Pale koulye a, pou tout chèf Sichem yo tande: ‘Kisa k ap pi bon pou nou, ke swasann-dis lòm, tout fis a Jerubbaal yo vin renye sou nou, oswa ke yon sèl moun renye sou nou?’ Anplis, sonje byen ke mwen se zo nou ak chè nou.”
Speke ye to alle the men of Sichem, What is betere to you, that seuenti men, alle the sones of Gerobaal, be lordis of you, whether that o man be lord to you? and also biholde, for Y am youre boon, and youre fleisch.
3 Fanmi li yo te pale tout pawòl sila yo pou li menm kote pou tout chèf Sichem yo tande. Kè yo te apye vè Abimélec, akoz yo te di: “Li se fanmi nou.”
And the britheren of his modir spaken of hym alle these wordis to alle the men of Sichem; and bowiden her hertis aftir Abymelech, and seiden, He is oure brother.
4 Yo te ba li swasann-dis pyès ajan soti lakay Baal-Berith, avèk sila Abimélec te anplwaye kalite mesye sanzave yo san kontwòl e yo te swiv li.
And thei yauen to hym seuenti weiytis of siluer of the temple of Baal Berith; and he hiride to hym therof men pore and hauynge no certeyn dwellynge, and thei sueden hym.
5 Konsa, li te ale lakay papa li nan Ophra e te touye frè li yo, fis a Jerubbaal yo, swasann-dis zòm, sou yon sèl wòch. Men Jotham, fis pi piti a Jerubbaal la te chape, akoz li te kache kò li.
And he cam in to `the hows of his fadir in Ephra, and killide hise britheren the sones of Gerobaal, `seuenti men, on o stoon. And Joathan, the leste sone of Gerobaal, lefte, and was hid.
6 Tout mesye a Sichem yo avèk tout Beth-Millo yo te rasanble ansanm pou yo te ale fè Abimélec wa kote bwadchenn nan akote pilye ki te Sichem nan.
Forsothe alle the men of Sichem, and alle the meynees of the citee of Mello, weren gadirid to gydere, and thei yeden, and maden Abymelech kyng, bysidis the ook that stood in Sichem.
7 Alò, lè yo te di Jotham sa, li te ale kanpe sou tèt Mòn Garizim nan. Li te leve vwa li pou rele fò Konsa, li te di yo: “Koute mwen, O mesye Sichem yo, pou Bondye kapab tande nou.
And whanne this thing was teld to Joathan, he yede, and stood in the cop of the hil Garisym, and cried with `vois reisid, and seide, Ye men of Sichem, here me, so that God here you.
8 Yon fwa pyebwa yo te ale pou onksyone yon wa sou yo. Yo te di a bwa doliv la: ‘Vin renye sou nou!’
Trees yeden to anoynte a kyng on hem; and tho seiden to the olyue tre, Comaunde thou to vs.
9 “Men oliv la te di yo: ‘Èske mwen ta kite tout grès mwen, ke ni Bondye ni lèzòm onore, pou m ta balanse feyaj mwen sou bwa yo?
Whiche answeride, Whether Y may forsake my fatnesse, which bothe Goddis and men vsen, and come, that Y be auaunsid among trees?
10 “Epi bwa yo te di a pye fig la: ‘Ou menm, vin renye sou nou!’
And the trees seiden to the fige tree, Come thou, and take the rewme on vs.
11 “Men pye fig la te di yo: ‘Èske mwen ta dwe kite dousè mwen ak bon fwi mwen, pou m ta balanse feyaj mwen sou bwa yo?’
Which answeride to hem, Whether Y may forsake my swetnesse and swetteste fruytis, and go that Y be auaunsid among othere trees?
12 “Epi bwa te di a pye rezen an: ‘Ou menm, vin renye sou nou!’
Also `the trees spaken to the vyne, Come thou, and comaunde to vs.
13 “Men pye rezen an te di yo: ‘Èske mwen ta dwe kite diven nèf mwen ki fè kè Bondye ak kè lezòm kontan, pou m ta balanse feyaj mwen sou bwa?’
Which answeride, Whether Y may forsake my wyn, that gladith God and men, and be auaunsid among othere trees?
14 “An dènye, tout bwa yo te di a raje pikan yo: ‘Ou menm, vin renye sou nou!’
And alle trees seiden to the ramne, ether theue thorn, Come thou, and be lord on vs.
15 “Epi raje pikan yo te di a bwa yo: ‘Si anverite w ap onksyone mwen kòm wa sou nou, vin pwoteje nou menm anba lonbraj mwen. Men si se pa sa, kite dife a sòti nan raje pikan an pou brile nèt tout sèd Liban yo.’
Whiche answeride to hem, If ye maken me verili kyng to you, come ye, and reste vndur my schadewe; sotheli, if ye nylen, fier go out of the ramne, and deuoure the cedris of the Liban.
16 “Pou sa, si nou te aji an bòn fwa avèk entegrite nan fè Abimélec wa, si nou te aji byen avèk Jerubbaal avèk lakay li e te aji avèk li jan li te merite a——
Now therfor if riytfuli and without synne `ye han maad Abymelech kyng on you, and ye han do wel with Jerobaal, and with his hows, and ye han yolde while to the benefices of hym,
17 paske papa m te goumen pou nou e li te riske lavi li pou te delivre nou nan men Madian.
that fauyt for you, and yaf his lijf to perelis, that he schulde delyuere you fro the hond of Madian;
18 Men nou te leve kont lakay papa m jodi a e nou te touye fis li yo, swasann-dis moun sou yon sèl wòch pou te fè Abimélec, fis a bòn lakay li a, wa sou mesye Sichem yo, akoz li se moun fanmi nou;
and ye han rise now ayens the hows of my fadir, and han slayn hyse sones, seuenti men, on o stoon, and `han maad Abymelech, sone of his handmayde, kyng on the dwelleris of Sichem, for he is youre brother;
19 si, alò, an bon fwa avèk entegrite, nou te aji avèk Jerubbaal avèk lakay li a nan jou sa a, rejwi nan Abimélec e ke li rejwi nan nou.
therfor if ye han do riytfuli, and with out synne with Gerobaal and his hows, to dai be ye glad in Abymelech, and be he glad in you; but if ye han do weiwardli,
20 Men si se pa sa, ke dife sòti nan Abimélec pou manje nèt tout mesye a Sichem avèk Beth-Millo yo; epi ke dife sòti nan mesye Sichem nan ak Beth-Millo yo pou manje Abimélec nèt.”
fier go out `of hym, and waste the dwelleris of Sichem, and the citee of Mello; and fier go out of the men of Sichem, and of the citee of Mello, and deuoure Abymelech.
21 Konsa, Jotham te sove ale pou te chape ale Beer e te rete la akoz Abimélec, frè li a.
And whanne he hadde seide these thingis, he fledde, and yede in to Berara, and dwellide there, for drede of Abymelech, his brother.
22 Abimélec te renye sou Israël pandan twazan.
And Abymelech regnede on Israel thre yeer.
23 Epi Bondye te voye yon move lespri antre nan Abimélec avèk mesye Sichem yo. Konsa mesye a Sichem yo te aji an movèz fwa avèk Abimélec,
And the Lord sente the worste spirit bitwixe Abymelech and the dwelleris of Sichem, whiche bigynnen to holde hym abomynable,
24 jiskaske vyolans ki te fèt a swasann-dis fis Jerubbaal yo te kapab remonte e san pa yo ta kapab vin poze sou Abimélec, frè yo a, ki te touye yo, ak sou mesye Sichem yo, ki te ranfòse men li pou l ta kab touye frè li yo.
and to arette the felony of sleyng of seuenti sones of Gerobaal, and the schedyng out of her blood, in to Abymelech her brother, and to othere princes of Sichem, that hadden helpid hym.
25 Mesye Sichem yo te mete moun an anbiskad kont li sou tèt mòn yo e yo te vòlè tout moun ki te pase bò kote yo nan wout la. Tout sa te pale a Abimélec.
And thei settiden buyschementis ayens hym in the hiynesse of hillis; and the while thei abideden `the comyng of hym, thei hauntiden theftis, and token preies of men passynge forth; and it was teld to Abymelech.
26 Alò Gaal, fis Ébed la, te vini avèk fanmi pa li yo pou te travèse Sichem, epi mesye Sichem yo te mete konfyans yo nan li.
Forsothe Gaal, `the sone of Obed, cam with his britheren, and passide in to Siccima; at whos entryng the dwelleris of Sichem weren reisid, and yeden out `in to feeldis,
27 Yo te antre nan chan an pou te ranmase rezen, te kraze yo anba pye e te fè yon fèt. Konsa, yo te antre lakay dye pa yo pou te manje, bwè, e te modi Abimélec.
and wastiden vyneris, and `to-traden grapis; and with cumpeneys of syngeris maad thei entriden in to `the temple of her God, and among metis and drynkis thei cursiden Abymalech, while Gaal,
28 Konsa, Gaal, fis a Ébed la te di: “Kilès Abimélec sa a ye, e kilès Sichem ye pou nou ta dwe sèvi li? Se pa fis a Jerubbaal la? Se pa Zebul ki lyetnan li? Sèvi pito mesye Hamor yo, fis a Sichem lan, men poukisa nou ta dwe sèvi li menm?
the sone of Obed, criede, Who is this Abymelech? And what is Sichem, that we serue hym? Whether he is not the sone of Jerobaal, and made Zebul his seruaunt prince on the men of Emor, fadir of Sichem? Whi therfor schulen we serue hym?
29 Pito sa, ke pèp sa a te anba otorite pa m! Konsa, mwen ta retire Abimélec.” Konsa li te pale Abimélec: “Fè lame ou a vin pi gran e vin parèt deyò!”
`Y wolde, that sum man yaf this puple vndur myn hond, that Y schulde take awei Abimelech fro the myddis. And it was seid to Abymelech, Gadere thou the multitude of oost, and come thou.
30 Lè Zebul, chèf lavil la te tande pawòl a Gaal yo, fis a Ébed la, kòlè li te vin brile.
For whanne the wordis of Gaal, sone of Obed, weren herd, Zebul, the prynce of the citee, was ful wrooth;
31 Li te voye mesaje vè Abimélec pou twonpe li, e te di: “Veye byen, Gaal, fis a Ébed la avèk fanmi li te vini Sichem; epi gade, y ap konplote vil la kont ou.
and he sente priueli messangeris to Abymelech, and seide, Lo! Gaal, sone of Obed, cam in to Siccymam, with hise britheren, and he excitith the citee to fiyte ayens thee;
32 Pou sa, fòk nou leve pandan nwit lan, nou menm avèk pèp nou an, pou kouche tann nan chan an.
therfor rise thou bi niyt with the puple, which is with thee, and be thou hid in the feeld;
33 Nan maten, depi solèy la leve, nou va leve bonè pou kouri sou vil la. Epi gade, lè li menm avèk pèp pa li a sòti deyò kont nou, nou va fè avèk yo nenpòt sa nou jwenn chans fè.”
and first in the morewtid, whanne the sunne rysith, falle on the citee; forsothe whanne he goth out with his puple ayens thee, do thou to hym that that thou maist.
34 Konsa, Abimélec avèk tout pèp ki te avèk li a, te leve pandan lannwit lan pou te kouche tann pou leve kont Sichem nan kat konpayi.
Therfor Abymelech roos with al his oost bi nyyt, and settide buyschementis bisidis Siccimam, in foure placis.
35 Alò Gaal, fis a Ébed la te sòti e te kanpe devan antre pòtay vil la. Konsa, Abimélec avèk pèp ki te avèk li yo te leve sòti nan anbiskad la.
And Gaal, the sone of Obed, yede out, and stood in the entryng of `the yate of the citee. Forsothe Abymelech and al the oost with hym roos fro the place of buyschementis.
36 Lè Gaal te wè pèp la, li te di a Zebul: “Gade, gen moun k ap desann soti nan tèt mòn yo.” Men Zebul te di: “Se lonbraj mòn ke w ap gade tankou moun nan.”
And whanne Gaal hadde seyn the puple, he seide to Zebul, Lo! a multitude cometh doun fro the hillis. To whom he answeride, Thou seest the schadewis of hillis as the `heedis of men, and thou art disseyued bi this errour.
37 Gaal te pale ankò e te di: “Gade, se moun k ap desann soti nan pi wo pati teren an, yon konpayi k ap pase pa chemen bwadchenn divinò yo.”
And eft Gaal seide, Lo! a puple cometh doun fro the myddis of erthe, `that is, fro the hiynesse of hillis, and o cumpeny cometh bi the weie that biholdith the ook.
38 Konsa, Zébul te di li: “Kote ògèy ou fè koulye a, lè ou te di: ‘Kimoun Abimélec ye pou nou ta dwe sèvi li?’ Men se pa moun sa yo ke ou meprize konsa? Ale deyò koulye a pou batay avèk yo!”
To whom Zebul seide, Where is now thi mouth, bi which thou spekist, Who is Abymelech, that we serue hym? Whether this is not the puple, whom thou dispisidist? Go thou out, and fiyte ayens hym.
39 Alò, Gaal te sòti deyò devan chèf Sichem yo pou te batay avèk Abimélec.
Therfor Gaal yede, while the puple of Sichen abood; and he fauyt ayens Abymelech.
40 Abimélec te kouri dèyè li. Li te sove ale devan l, epi anpil te vin blese jis rive nan antre gran pòtay la.
Which pursuede Gaal fleynge, and constreynede to go in to the citee; and ful many of his part felde doun `til to the yate of the citee.
41 Abimélec te viv nan Aruma; men Zebul te chase Gaal avèk fanmi li jiskaske yo pa t kab rete Sichem.
And Abymelech sat in Ranna; sotheli Zebul puttide Gaal and hise felowis out of the citee, and suffride not to dwelle ther ynne.
42 Alò, li te vin rive nan jou ki vini an, ke pèp la te sòti rive nan chan an, e yo te pale Abimélec tout sa.
Therfor in the dai suynge the puple yede out in to the feeld; and whanne this thing was teld to Abymelech,
43 Konsa, li te pran pèp li a e te divize yo an twa konpayi. Li te kouche tann nan chan an, e lè l te wè pèp ki t ap sòti nan vil la, li te leve kont yo e te touye yo.
he took his oost, and departide `in to thre cumpenyes, and settide buyschementis in the feeldis; and he siy that the puple yede out of the citee, and he roos,
44 Abimélec avèk konpayi ki te avè l la te kouri devan e te kanpe antre nan pòtay vil la. Lòt de konpayi yo te kouri sou tout moun ki te nan chan an e te touye yo.
and felde on hem with his cumpeny, and enpugnyde and bisegide the citee. Sothely twei cumpenyes yeden aboute opynli bi the feeld, and pursueden aduersaries.
45 Abimélec te goumen kont vil la pandan tout jounen an. Li te kaptire vil la e te touye pèp ki te ladann yo. Konsa, li te kraze vil la e te simen sèl ladann.
Certis Abymelech fauyt ayens the citee in al that dai, which he took, whanne the dwelleris weren slayn, and that citee was destried, so that he spreynte abrood salt ther ynne.
46 Lè tout chèf nan fò Sichem nan te tande sa, yo te antre kache nan chanm enteryè tanp El-Berith la.
And whanne thei, that dwelliden in the tour of Sichem, hadde herd this, thei entriden in to the temple of her god Berith, where thei hadden maad boond of pees with hym; and of that the place took name, which place was ful strong.
47 Kèk moun te avèti Abimélec ke tout chèf fò Sichem nan te rasanble ansanm.
And Abymelech herde the men of the tour of Sichem gaderid to gidere,
48 Konsa, Abimélec te monte Mòn Tsalmon an, ansanm ak tout pèp ki te avè l yo. Li te pran yon rach nan men l, e te koupe yon branch nan bwa yo. Li te leve li monte sou zepòl li, e te di pèp ki te avè l yo: “Sa nou wè ke m fè a, fè vit e fè l menm jan an.”
and he stiede in to the hil Selmon with al his puple; and with an axe takun he kittide doun a boow of a tre, and he bar it, put on the schuldur, and seide to felowis, Do ye this thing, which ye seen me do.
49 Tout pèp la te koupe branch yo menm jan an, yo te swiv Abimélec, yo te plase yo kont chanm enteryè a, e yo te limen chanm enteryè a avèk dife anwo sila ki te anndan yo. Konsa, tout mesye nan fò Sichem yo te mouri, anviwon mil gason ak fanm.
Therfor with strijf thei kittiden doun bowis of the trees, and sueden the duyk; whiche cumpassiden and brenten `the tour; and so it was doon, that with smooke and fier a thousynde of men weren slayn, men togidere and wymmen, of the dwelleris of the tour of Sichem.
50 Epi Abimélec te ale Thébets. Yo te fè kan kont Thébets e yo te kaptire li.
Forsothe Abymelech wente forth fro thennus, and cam to the citee of Thebes, which he cumpasside, and bisegide with an oost.
51 Men te gen yon fò ki te byen fòtifye nan mitan vil la. Tout gason, ni fanm, ni tout chèf lavil la te sove ale rive la e te fèmen kò yo anndan, pou monte sou twati fò a.
Forsothe the tour was hiy in the myddis of the citee, to which men togidere and wymmen fledden, and alle the princes of the citee, while the yate was closid stronglieste; and thei stoden on the roof of the tour bi toretis.
52 Pou sa, Abimélec te vini vè fò a, e te goumen kont li. Li te pwoche antre nan fò a pou brile li avèk dife.
And Abymelech cam bisidis the tour, and fauyt strongli, and he neiyede to the dore, and enforside to putte fier vndur; and lo!
53 Men yon sèten fanm te jete yon wòch moulen (sila a ki sòti anwo nan moulen an) sou tèt Abimélec e te kraze zo tèt li.
o womman castide fro aboue a gobet of a mylnestoon, and hurtlide to `the heed of Abymelech, and brak his brayn.
54 Byen vit li te rele gason an ki te pote zam li yo. Li te di li: “Rale nepe ou touye mwen pou yo pa kab pale de mwen, ke yon fanm te touye m.” Konsa, jennonm nan te frennen li nèt e li te mouri.
And he clepide soone his squyer, and seide to hym, Drawe out thi swerd, and sle me, lest perauenture it be seid, that Y am slan of a womman. Which performede `the comaundementis, and `killide Abymelech;
55 Lè mesye Israël yo te wè ke Abimélec te mouri, yo tout te pati rive lakay yo.
and whanne he was deed, alle men of Israel that weren with hym turneden ayen to her seetis.
56 Konsa, Bondye te rekonpanse mechanste Abimélec te fè a papa l, nan touye swasann-dis frè li yo.
And God yeldide to Abymelech the yuel that he dide ayens his fadir, for he killide hise seuenti britheren.
57 Bondye te retounen tout mechanste a mesye Sichem yo sou pwòp tèt pa yo, epi madichon Jotham nan, fis Jerubbaal la, te vin sou yo.
Also that thing was yoldun to men of Sichem, which thei wrouyten, and the curs of Joathan, sone of Jerobaal, cam on hem.
