1 Samuel 2
1 At that time Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD in whom my horn is exalted. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation.
Anne te priye e te di: “Kè mwen vin leve wo nèt nan SENYÈ a! Kòn mwen leve wo nan SENYÈ a. Bouch mwen pale kouraj kont lènmi mwen yo, akoz mwen rejwi nan delivrans Ou.
2 There is no one holy like the LORD. Indeed, there is no one besides You! And there is no Rock like our God.
Nanpwen pèsòn ki sen tankou SENYÈ a. Anverite, nanpwen lòt sof ke Ou menm, ni nanpwen okenn wòch tankou Bondye pa nou an.
3 Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogance come from your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him actions are weighed.
“Pa pale kè anflè ankò, pa kite awogans sòti nan bouch ou. Paske SENYÈ a se yon Bondye avèk konesans, e avèk Li, tout zak yo peze nan balans.
4 The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble are equipped with strength.
“Banza a pwisan yo vin fann, kraze nèt, men fèb yo vin gen fòs.
5 The well-fed hire themselves out for food, but the starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away.
Sila ki te gen vant plen yo vin vann tèt yo pou achte pen, men sila ki te grangou vin satisfè. Menm sila ki te esteril la fè sèt pitit, men Sila ki te fè anpil pitit la vin sispann.
“Se SENYÈ a ki detwi e ki fè viv. SENYÈ a rale desann nan sejou lanmò yo, e Li leve wo. (Sheol h7585)
7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.
SENYÈ a fè pòv ak rich. Li abese e anplis, Li leve.
8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.
Li leve malere sòti nan pousyè. Li leve sila ki nan bezwen an soti nan pil sann nan, pou yo chita avèk prens yo, e jwenn yon chèz donè kòm eritaj. Paske pilye tè yo se pou SENYÈ a yo ye. Li te plase lemond sou yo.
9 He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail.
L ap pwoteje pye a sen Li yo; men, mechan yo va jwenn silans nan tenèb la; paske se pa pa lafòs ke yon nonm vin reyisi.
10 Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”
Sila ki fè lènmi avèk SENYÈ a va kraze nèt. Kont yo Li va gwonde depi nan syèl yo. SENYÈ a ki va jije, jis rive nan tout ekstremite latè yo. Konsa, Li va bay kouraj a wa Li; Li va fè leve wo kòn onksyon pa Li a.”
11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy began ministering to the LORD before Eli the priest.
Elkana te ale lakay li Rama. Men gason an te fè sèvis SENYÈ a devan Éli, prèt la.
12 Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD
Alò, fis a Éli yo te vagabon. Yo pa t konnen SENYÈ a,
13 or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling
ni koutim prèt yo avèk pèp pa yo. Lè yon moun t ap ofri yon sakrifis, sèvitè a prèt la te konn vini pandan vyann nan t ap bouyi avèk yon fouch twa pwent nan men l.
14 and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
Konsa, li te konn fonse l nan kivèt ak chodyè a, oswa bonm nan, oswa po a. Epi tout sa ke fouch la fè leve, prèt la ta pran l pou kont li. Konsa yo te fè tout Izrayelit yo ki parèt nan Silo.
15 Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
Anplis, avan yo te brile grès la, sèvitè prèt la te vini e te di a mesye ki t ap fè sakrifis la: “Bay prèt la vyann pou boukannen; paske li p ap pran vyann bouyi nan men nou, sèl sa ki poko kwit.”
16 And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”
Si mesye a ta di li: “Fòk yo brile grès la avan e apre, ou kab pran sa ou pito,” Alò, li ta di: “Non, men se koulye a, pou ou ban mwen li. Si se pa konsa, m ap sezi l pa lafòs.”
17 Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.
Konsa, peche jennonm yo te trè gran devan SENYÈ a, paske moun te meprize ofrann SENYÈ a.
18 Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD—a boy wearing a linen ephod.
Alò Samuel te fè sèvis devan SENYÈ a tankou yon jenn gason abiye ak yon efòd fèt ak len.
19 Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
Epi manman li ta fè pou li yon ti manto pou pote ba li chak ane lè l te monte avèk mari li pou ofri sakrifis la.
20 And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” Then they would go home.
Alò, Éli ta beni Elkana avèk madanm li e di: “Ke SENYÈ a ba ou pitit pa fanm sa a pou ranplase sila ke li te konsakre bay SENYÈ a.” Epi yo te ale lakay yo.
21 So the LORD attended to Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
SENYÈ a te vizite Anne. Li te vin ansent e te bay nesans a twa fis ak de fi. Epi gason Samuel la te grandi devan SENYÈ a.
22 Now Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Alò Éli te vin trè vye. Li te tande tout sa ke fis li yo t ap fè a tout Israël la ak jan yo te kouche avèk fanm ki te sèvi nan pòtay tant asanble a.
23 “Why are you doing these things?” Eli said to his sons. “I hear about your wicked deeds from all these people.
Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou konn fè bagay parèy sa yo, bagay mechan ke m tande tout moun sa yo pale yo?
24 No, my sons; it is not a good report I hear circulating among the LORD’s people.
Non, fis mwen yo, rapò ke m tande sikile pami pèp la pa bon.
25 If a man sins against another man, God can intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to put them to death.
Si yon nonm vin peche kont yon lòt, Bondye va entèsede pou li. Men si yon nonm peche kont SENYÈ a, se kilès ki kab entèsede pou li?” Men yo pa t koute vwa a papa yo, paske SENYÈ a te vle mete yo a lanmò.
26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with man.
Alò, gason Samuel t ap grandi nan wotè ak nan favè avèk SENYÈ a e avèk tout moun.
27 Then a man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to your father’s house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh’s house?
Alò, yon nonm Bondye te vin kote Éli e te di li: “Men konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘Èske Mwen pa t vrèman revele Mwen menm a kay zansèt ou yo lè yo te an Égypte nan esklavaj lakay Farawon an?
28 And out of all the tribes of Israel I selected your father to be My priest, to offer sacrifices on My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in My presence. I also gave to the house of your father all the offerings of the Israelites made by fire.
Èske Mwen pa t chwazi yo soti nan tout tribi Israël yo pou devni prèt Mwen, pou monte vè lotèl Mwen, pou brile lansan, pou pote yon efòd devan Mwen? Epi èske Mwen pa t bay lakay zansèt nou yo tout ofrann dife fis Israël yo?
29 Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’
Poukisa ou voye pye kont sakrifis Mwen ak sou ofrann ke M te kòmande nan kay abitasyon Mwen an, e bay onè a fis ou yo plis ke Mwen menm lè nou fè nou menm gra avèk pi bèl chwa a chak ofrann pèp Mwen an, Israël?’
30 Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la deklare: ‘Mwen te vrèman di ke lakay ou ak lakay zansèt ou yo ta dwe mache devan Mwen pou tou tan.’ Men koulye a SENYÈ a deklare: ‘Ou lwen de sa a — paske sila ki onore Mwen yo, Mwen va onore yo. Men sila ki meprize Mwen yo, Mwen va meprize yo.
31 Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no older man will be left in your house.
Gade byen, jou yo ap vini ke Mwen va kase fòs ou ak fòs lakay zansèt nou yo jiskaske pa gen yon granmoun lakay nou.
32 You will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.
Ou va wè twoub nan abitasyon Mwen, malgre tout byen ke m va fè pou Israël. Se pa pou tout tan ou ap gen yon granmoun lakay ou.
33 And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar, your eyes will fail and your heart will grieve. All your descendants will die by the sword of men.
Moun pa w ke M pa koupe retire nèt tout sou lotèl Mwen an, jiskaske zye nou manje, e fè kè w trist nèt. Tout desandan lakay nou yo va vin mouri ak gwo fòs jènes yo toujou sou yo.
34 And this sign shall come to you concerning your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
Sa va yon sign pou nou menm ki va vini konsènan de fis ou yo, Hophni avèk Phinées: Nan menm jou a, yo toude va mouri.
35 Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He will do whatever is in My heart and mind. And I will build for him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed one for all time.
Men Mwen va fè leve pou kont Mwen yon prèt fidèl ki va fèt selon sa ki nan kè M ak nan nanm Mwen. Epi Mwen va bati pou li yon kay k ap dire e li va mache toujou devan onksyon Mwen.
36 And everyone left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a morsel of bread, pleading, “Please appoint me to some priestly office so that I can eat a piece of bread.”’”
Tout sila ki rete lakay ou yo va vin bese ba a li menm pou yon pyès ajan, oswa yon mòso pen. Yo va di: “Souple, ban m yon plas nan youn nan pozisyon prèt yo pou m kab manje yon mòso pen.”’”
