1 Samuel 11
1 And Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh-Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
Yon mwa konsa apre bagay sa yo fin pase, Nakach, moun peyi Amon, moute al atake lavil Jabès nan peyi Galarad. Li sènen lavil la. Mesye lavil Jabès yo di Nakach konsa: -Ann siyen yon kontra. N'ap asepte ou pou chèf.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, On this [condition] will I treat with you, that I thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
Men, Nakach reponn yo: -M'ap siyen kontra a avèk nou, men sou yon sèl kondisyon: m'ap pete je dwat nou tout. Konsa, m'a fè tout pèp Izrayèl la wont.
3 And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Allow us seven days, and we will send messengers into all the districts of Israel; and if there be no man to deliver us, we will come out to thee.
Chèf lavil Jabès la di li: -Ban nou sèt jou pou nou voye mesaje bay tout pèp la nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Si pa gen pesonn pou sove nou, lè sa a n'a rann tèt nou ba ou.
4 And the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told these words in the ears of the people. And all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
Mesaje yo rive lavil Gibeya kote Sayil te rete a. Lè yo bay pèp la mesaj la, tout moun pete rele byen fò.
5 And behold, Saul came after the oxen from the field; and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh.
Sayil t'ap antre sot nan jaden ak bèf li yo. Li mande sa ki genyen, pouki tout moun t'ap rele konsa. Yo di l' sa moun lavil Jabès yo te vin di yo.
6 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
Tande li tande koze a, lespri Bondye desann sou li, epi li fè gwo kòlè.
7 And he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, Whoever comes not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen! And the fear of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
Li pran de bèf, li koupe yo an moso, epi li voye mesaje pote moso vyann bèf yo nan tout peyi Izrayèl la avèk mesaj sa a: -Tout moun ki va derefize mache dèyè Sayil ak Samyèl nan batay la, n'ap koupe bèf yo an moso tankou bèf sa a. Seyè a voye yon sèl lapè sou pèp la. Yo tout leve avèk menm lide nan tèt yo, yo vin jwenn Sayil.
8 And he numbered them in Bezek, and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
Sayil sanble yo bò lavil Bezèk pou l' pase yo enspeksyon: Te gen twasan mil (300.000) sòlda ki te moun pèp Izrayèl ak trantmil (30.000) ki te moun fanmi Jida.
9 And they said to the messengers that had come, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye shall have deliverance when the sun is hot. And the messengers came and informed the men of Jabesh-Gilead; and they were glad.
Yo rele mesaje ki te soti lavil Jabès yo, yo di yo: -Men sa n'a di moun lavil Jabès yo nan peyi Galarad: Denmen, vè midi, n'a vin delivre nou. Lè moun lavil Jabès yo resevwa mesaj la yo te kontan anpil.
10 And the men of Jabesh said, To-morrow we will come out to you, and ye may do with us according to all that is good in your sight.
Yo voye di Nakach: -Denmen n'ap rann tèt nou ba ou. Lè sa a, w'a fè sa ou vle avèk nou.
11 And it came to pass the next day that Saul set the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote Ammon until the heat of the day: and it came to pass that they who remained were scattered, and not two of them were left together.
Nan denmen maten Sayil pran sòlda yo, li fè twa gwoup. Epi anvan solèy leve, yo kouri antre nan kan moun Amon yo, yo atake yo, yo bat yo. Li te midi yo t'ap touye moun toujou. Sa ki pa t' mouri yo kouri chape kò yo grenn pa grenn.
12 And the people said to Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la di Samyèl konsa: -Kote moun ki t'ap di Sayil pa ka wa nou? Lage yo nan men nou pou nou touye yo.
13 But Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day; for to-day Jehovah has wrought deliverance in Israel.
Men, Sayil di yo konsa: -Nou p'ap touye pesonn jòdi a. Paske jòdi a se jou Seyè a delivre pèp Izrayèl la.
14 And Samuel said to the people, Come and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
Epi Samyèl di yo: -Leve non. Ann al lavil Gilgal. Lè n'a rive la, n'a fè seremoni pou renmèt li pouvwa a.
15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before Jehovah in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed peace-offerings before Jehovah. And there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced exceedingly.
Se konsa tout moun moute lavil Gilgal. Yo fè Sayil wa devan lotèl Seyè a. Yo touye bèt yo te ofri pou di Bondye mèsi. Sayil fè gwo fèt ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo lavil Gilgal.
