Judges 3
1 These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites:
Seyè a te kite kèk nasyon nan peyi a pou l' te ka sonde moun pèp Izrayèl la ki patko fèt lè yo t'ap fè lagè pou antre nan peyi Kanaran an.
2 That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:
Li te fè sa konsa pou l' te ka moutre chak jenerasyon pèp Izrayèl la sa yo rele fè lagè, sitou sa ki pa t' janm al nan lagè anvan sa.
3 The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath.
Men moun li te kite nan peyi a: Se te moun Filisti yo ki te rete nan senk lavil, tout moun Kanaran yo, moun Sidon yo ak moun Evi yo ki te rete nan mòn Liban yo, depi mòn Baal-Emon jouk Pas Amat.
4 And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses, or not.
Se ak moun sa yo Seyè a t'ap sonde pèp la pou l' te ka konnen si yo te soti pou koute lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou zansèt yo a.
5 So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:
Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la twouve l' rete ap viv nan mitan moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
6 And they took their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
Yo pran pitit fi moun sa yo pou madanm, yo bay pitit gason moun sa yo pitit fi pa yo pou madanm, epi yo pran sèvi bondye moun sa yo tou.
7 And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tanmen fè bagay ki te mal nan je Seyè a. Yo bliye Seyè a, Bondye-yo a, yo pran fè sèvis pou Baal yo ak Achera yo.
8 And the Lord being angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Chusan Rasathaim king of Mesopotamia, and they served him eight years.
Seyè a fache sou pèp Izrayèl la epi li kite Kouchan-Riche Atayim, wa peyi Mezopotami an, mete pye sou kou yo. Pandan witan pèp Izrayèl la te anba men Kouchan-Riche Atayim.
9 And they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour, and delivered them, to wit, Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb:
Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran kriye nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a voye yon nonm pou delivre yo. Se te Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz, ki te ti frè Kalèb.
10 And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.
Lespri Seyè a te sou li, li vin yon gwo chèf nan peyi Izrayèl. Li leve l' al goumen. Seyè a lage Kouchan-Riche Atayim, wa peyi Mezopotami an, nan men li, li fè l' kraze l'.
11 And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez died.
Apre sa, te gen lapè nan peyi a pandan karantan. Epi Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz la, mouri.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rekonmanse ap fè sa ki te mal nan je Seyè a ankò. Seyè a pran Eglon, wa peyi Moab la, li fè l' vin pi fò pase pèp Izrayèl la. Epi li fè l' leve dèyè pèp Izrayèl la.
13 And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
Eglon pran moun Amon yo ak moun Amalèk yo ansanm avè l', epi yo ale, yo bat moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Palmis yo pou yo.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years:
Pandan dizwitan pèp Izrayèl la te anba men Eglon, wa peyi Moab la.
15 And afterwards they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour called Aod, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who used the left hand as well as the right. And the children of Israel sent presents to Eglon king of Moab by him.
Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran kriye nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a voye yon lòt moun pou delivre yo. Se te Eyoud, pitit gason Gera, moun branch fanmi Benjamen an. Msye te goche. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo bay Eyoud yon kado al pote bay Eglon, wa peyi Moab.
16 And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.
Eyoud fè yo fè yon ponya espesyal pou li. Ponya a te gen yon pye edmi longè, li te file de bò. Li mare l' sou kwis pye dwat li, anba rad li.
17 And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.
Epi li pote kado a bay Eglon, wa peyi Moab la. Eglon te gwo anpil.
18 And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.
Lè Eyoud fin bay wa a kado a, li voye moun ki te pote kado a ale.
19 Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him,
Men li menm, lè li rive bò estati zidòl yo ki toupre lavil Gilgal la, li tounen vin jwenn Eglon. Li di l' konsa: -Monwa, mwen gen yon komisyon pou ou, men fòk pa ta gen lòt moun la. Lè sa a, wa a di moun ki te la yo: -Kite nou pou kont nou! Tout moun ki te la avè l' yo soti.
20 Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne,
Wa a te chita nan chanm pa l' anwo kay la, kote ki te fè fre anpil. Eyoud pwoche bò kote l', li di l' konsa: -Se yon mesaj Bondye ban m' pou ou. Wa a leve kanpe.
21 And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly,
Eyoud lonje men gòch li, li rale ponya a bò kwis pye dwat li, epi li sèvi wa a yon kou nan vant.
22 With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in his body as he had struck it in. And forthwith by the secret parts of nature the excrements of the belly came out.
Li foure ponya a tout longè l' nèt jouk manch li pèdi nan vant li, epi po grès la fèmen sou ponya a paske Eyoud pa t' rale l' soti. Pwent ponya a menm te parèt pa dèyè.
23 But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,
Lèfini, Eyoud soti nan chanm lan, li fèmen pòt yo dèyè l', li klete yo,
24 Went out by a postern door. And the king’s servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.
epi l' ale fè wout li. Lè domestik wa yo vini, yo wè pòt chanm wa a te fèmen akle. Yo di konsa: -Gen lè wa a okipe anndan an. L'ap fè bezwen li.
25 And waiting a long time till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
Yo tann yon bon ti moman, yo ba li tan pou l' fini. Men, yo wè li pa janm louvri pòt la. Lè sa a, yo pran kle a epi yo louvri. Yo wè wa a kouche tou long atè, li te mouri!
26 But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols, from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath:
Pandan mesye yo t'ap tann tout tan sa a, Eyoud menm gen tan chape kò l'. Li pase bò estati zidòl yo, epi li pran wout mòn Seyira a pou li, l' ale.
27 And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front.
Lè li rive Seyira nan mòn peyi Efrayim lan, li kònen pou rele moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo desann soti nan mòn lan, epi Eyoud pran mache alatèt yo.
28 And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies the Moabites into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over.
Li di yo konsa: -Swiv mwen! Seyè a lage moun Moab yo, lènmi nou yo, nan men nou jòdi a! Yo tout desann swiv li. Yo bare pas dlo kote moun Moab yo konn janbe larivyè Jouden an. Yo pa kite yon moun pase.
29 But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.
Lè sa a, yo te touye dimil (10.000) sòlda konsa, sòlda ki te gwonèg epi ki te konn goumen. Yonn pa chape.
30 And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years.
Jou sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo bat moun Moab yo byen bat. Apre sa, pandan katreventan te gen lapè nan peyi a.
31 After him was Samgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel.
Apre Eyoud, yo vin gen yon lòt chèf: Se te Chanmga, pitit Anat. Li menm menm avèk yon fwèt kach po bèf, li te touye sisan (600) sòlda nan lame moun Filisti yo. Konsa li delivre pèp Izrayèl la.
