Judges 20
1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah.
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.
2 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 who drew sword.
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.
3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) The children of Israel said, “Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?”
(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?”
4 The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, “I came into Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
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.
5 The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night. They intended to kill me and they raped my concubine, and she is dead.
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.
6 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 folly in Israel.
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.
7 Behold, you children of Israel, all of you, give here your advice and counsel.”
Gade byen, tout fis Israël yo, bay lide avèk konsèy nou isit la.”
8 All the people arose as one man, saying, “None of us will go to his tent, neither will any of us turn to his house.
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.
9 But now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by lot;
Men kisa n ap fè Guibea; nou va monte kont li pa tiraj osò.
10 and we will take ten men of one hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and one hundred of one thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand to get food for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that the men of Gibeah have done in Israel.”
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.”
11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
Konsa, tout fis Israël yo te rasanble kont vil la, tèt yo ansanm kòm yon sèl moun.
12 The tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What wickedness is this that has happened amongst you?
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?
13 Now therefore deliver up the men, the wicked fellows who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and put away evil from Israel.” But Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.
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.
14 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
Fis a Benjamin yo te rasanble soti nan vil Guibea yo, pou sòti nan batay kont fis Israël yo.
15 The children of Benjamin were counted on that day out of the cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, in addition to the inhabitants of Gibeah, who were counted seven hundred chosen men.
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.
16 Amongst all these soldiers there were seven hundred chosen men who were left-handed. Every one of them could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.
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.
17 The men of Israel, besides Benjamin, were counted four hundred thousand men who drew sword. All these were men of war.
Alò, lòt mesye Israël yo anplis Benjamin te konte nan kat-san-mil òm ki rale nepe. Tout sila yo se te moun lagè.
18 The children of Israel arose, went up to Bethel, and asked counsel of God. They asked, “Who shall go up for us first to battle against the children of Benjamin?” The LORD said, “Judah first.”
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.”
19 The children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
Alò, fis Israël yo te leve nan maten, e yo te fè kan kont Guibea.
20 The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel set the battle in array against them at Gibeah.
Mesye Israël yo te sòti pou batay kont Benjamin e mesye Israël yo te pran pozisyon batay kont yo nan Guibea.
21 The children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed twenty-two thousand of the Israelite men down to the ground.
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.
22 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.
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.
23 The children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening; and they asked of the LORD, saying, “Shall I again draw near to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?” The LORD said, “Go up against him.”
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.”
24 The children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Alò, fis Israël yo te vini kont fis a Benjamin yo nan dezyèm jou a.
25 Benjamin went out 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.
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.
26 Then all the children of Israel and all the people went up, and came to Bethel, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until evening; then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
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.
27 The children of Israel asked the LORD (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
Fis Israël yo te mande devan SENYÈ a (paske lach temwayaj la te la nan jou sa yo,
28 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?” The LORD said, “Go up; for tomorrow I will deliver him into your hand.”
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.”
29 Israel set ambushes all around Gibeah.
Konsa, Israël te pozisyone mesye yo antoure Guibea pou fè anbiskad.
30 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.
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.
31 The children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike and kill of the people as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
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.
32 The children of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us, as at the first.” But the children of Israel said, “Let’s flee, and draw them away from the city to the highways.”
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.”
33 All the men of Israel rose up out of their place and set themselves in array at Baal Tamar. Then the ambushers of Israel broke out of their place, even out of Maareh Geba.
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.
34 Ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel came over against Gibeah, and the battle was severe; but they didn’t know that disaster was close to them.
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.
35 The LORD struck Benjamin before Israel; and the children of Israel destroyed of Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand and one hundred men. All these drew the sword.
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
36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were struck, for the men of Israel yielded to Benjamin because they trusted the ambushers whom they had set against Gibeah.
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.
37 The ambushers hurried, and rushed on Gibeah; then the ambushers spread out, and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.
Mesye anbiskad yo te kouri kont Guibea; epi yo te ouvri pou voye frape tout vil la avèk lam nepe.
38 Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the ambushers was that they should make a great cloud of smoke rise up out of the city.
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.
39 The men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons; for they said, “Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle.”
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.”
40 But when the cloud began to arise up out of the city in a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them; and behold, the whole city went up in smoke to the sky.
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.
41 The men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were dismayed; for they saw that disaster had come on them.
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.
42 Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness, but the battle followed hard after them; and those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the middle of it.
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.
43 They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and trod them down at their resting place, as far as near Gibeah towards the sunrise.
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.
44 Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valour.
Konsa, diz-uit-mil òm a Benjamin te tonbe; tout sila yo se te vanyan gèrye.
45 They turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. They gleaned five thousand men of them in the highways, and followed hard after them to Gidom, and struck two thousand men of them.
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.
46 So that all who fell that day of Benjamin were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword. All these were men of valour.
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.
47 But six hundred men turned and fled towards the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and stayed in the rock of Rimmon four months.
Men sis-san òm te vire kouri vè dezè a nan wòch Rimmon e yo te rete nan wòch Rimmon pandan kat mwa.
48 The men of Israel turned again on the children of Benjamin, and struck them with the edge of the sword—including the entire city, the livestock, and all that they found. Moreover they set all the cities which they found on fire.
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.
