Judges 8
1 Then the men of Ephraim sayde vnto him, Why hast thou serued vs thus that thou calledst vs not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? and they chode with him sharply.
Alò, mesye Éphraïm yo te di li: “Kisa nou te fè ou; kòmsi ou pa rele nou pou antre nan batay avèk Madian an?” Epi yo te menase li byen rèd.
2 To whom he said, What haue I now done in comparison of you? is not the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim better, then the vintage of Abiezer?
Men li te di yo: “Kisa menm mwen te fè ki konpare avèk nou? Èske se pa vrè ke li pi bon pou ranmase dèyè rekòlt Éphraïm nan pase fè gwo rekòlt nan chan Abiézer a?
3 God hath deliuered into your handes the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? and when he had thus spoken, then their spirits abated toward him.
Bondye vin mete chèf a Madian yo, Oreb avèk Zeeb nan men ou menm. Epi kisa mwen te reyisi fè ki konpare avèk nou?” Alò, chalè kòlè kont li te bese lè li te di sa a.
4 And Gideon came to Iorden to passe ouer, hee, and the three hundreth men that were with him, weary, yet pursuing them.
Konsa, Gédéon avèk twa-san lòm ki te avè l yo te rive nan Jourdain an e te travèse l. Yo te byen fatige, men toujou t ap kouri dèyè yo.
5 And he said vnto the men of Succoth, Giue, I pray you, morsels of bread vnto the people that follow me (for they be wearie) that I may follow after Zebah, and Zalmunna Kings of Midian.
Li te di a mesye Succoth yo: “Souple, ban mwen pen pou pèp la k ap swiv mwen an, paske yo fatige, e mwen ap kouri dèyè Zébach avèk Tsalmunna, wa a Madian yo.”
6 And the princes of Succoth sayde, Are the handes of Zebah and Zalmunna nowe in thine hads, that we should giue bread vnto thine army?
Chèf Succoth yo te di: “Èske men a Zébach avèk Zalmunna deja nan men ou, pou nou ta bay pen a lame ou a?”
7 Gideon then sayde, Therefore when the Lord hath deliuered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, I will teare your flesh with thornes of the wildernes and with breers.
Gédéon te di: “Trè byen, lè SENYÈ a fin mete Zébach avèk Tsalmunna nan men m, m ap vin kale nou avèk pikan dezè yo e avèk chadwon savann nan.”
8 And he went vp thence to Penuel, and spake vnto them likewise, and the men of Penuel answered him, as the men of Succoth answered.
Li te monte soti la nan Penuel. Li te pale menm jan an avèk yo, epi mesye Penuel yo te reponn li menm jan mesye Succoth yo te reponn nan.
9 And he sayd also vnto the men of Penuel, When I come againe in peace, I will breake downe this towre.
Konsa, li te pale osi avèk mesye Penuel yo, e li te di: “Lè m retounen an bon eta, m ap chire fò sa a.”
10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hostes with them, about fifteene thousande, all that were left of all the hostes of them of the East: for there was slaine an hundreth and twentie thousand men, that drew swordes.
Alò, Zébach avèk Tsalmunna te nan Kakor, e lame yo te avèk yo, anviwon kenz-mil lòm, tout sila ki te rete nan lame a fis a lès yo nèt; paske sila ki te tonbe yo se te san-ven-mil mesye ak nepe.
11 And Gideon went through them that dwelt in Tabernacles on the East side of Nobah and Iogbehah, and smote the hoste: for the hoste was carelesse.
Gédéon te monte pa chemen a sila ki te rete nan tant yo sou lès a Nobach avèk Jogbeha, e te atake lame a an lè yo pa t sispèk anyen.
12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, hee followed after them, and tooke the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the hoste.
Lè Zébach avèk Tsalmunna te fin sove ale, li te swiv yo. Li te kaptire de wa a Madian yo, Zébach avèk Tsalmunna e te mete tout lame a an dewout.
13 So Gideon the sonne of Ioash returned from battel, the sunne being yet hie,
Konsa, Gédéon, fis a Joas la te retounen soti nan batay akote pant Héres la.
14 And tooke a seruant of the me of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote to him the princes of Succoth and the Elders thereof, euen seuentie and seuen men.
Li te kaptire yon jenn gason ki sòti Succoth e te kesyone l. Epi li te bay li detay prens a Succot yo ak ansyen li yo, swasann-dis-sèt lòm.
15 And he came vnto the men of Succoth, and sayd, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, by whome ye vpbrayded me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thine hands, that we should giue bread vnto thy weary men?
Li te vini kote mesye Succoth yo e te di: “Gade byen, Zébach avèk Tsalmunna, pa sila nou te anmède mwen yo, lè nou te di: ‘Èske men a Zébach avèk Tsalmunna nan men ou deja, pou nou ta dwe bay pen a mesye ou ki fatige yo?’”
16 Then he tooke the Elders of the citie, and thornes of the wildernes and breers, and did teare the men of Succoth with them.
Li te pran ansyen lavil Succoth yo, e avèk pikan ak chadwon savann, li te enstwi yo.
17 Also he brake downe the towre of Penuel, and slew the men of the citie.
Li te chire fò Penuel la e te touye mesye lavil yo.
18 Then saide he vnto Zebah and Zalmunna, What maner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? and they answered, As thou art, so were they: euery one was like the children of a King.
Alò, li te di a Zébach avèk Tsalmunna: “Ki kalite mesye sa yo ke nou te touye Thabor a?” Epi yo te di: “Yo te sanble avèk ou. Yo tout te sanble a fis a yon wa.”
19 And he said, They were my brethren, euen my mothers children: as the Lord liueth, if ye had saued their liues, I would not slay you.
Li te di: “Yo se frè mwen, fis a manman m jan SENYÈ a viv la, si sèlman nou te kite yo viv, mwen pa t ap touye nou.”
20 Then he sayde vnto Iether his first borne sonne, Vp, and slay them: but the boy drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet yong.
Konsa, li te di a Jéther, premye ne li a: “Leve touye yo.” Men jennonm nan pa t rale nepe li, paske li te pè, paske li te toujou jèn.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna sayd, Rise thou, and fall vpon vs: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and tooke away the ornamentes, that were on their camels neckes.
Alò, Zébach avèk Tsalmunna te di: “Leve ou menm vin tonbe sou nou; paske jan yon gason ye, konsa fòs li ye.” Pou sa, Gédéon te leve e te touye Zébach avèk Tsalmunna e te pran òneman lin kaba yo ki te sou kou chamo yo.
22 Then the men of Israel sayd vnto Gideon, Reigne thou ouer vs, both thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne: for thou hast deliuered vs out of the hand of Midian.
Alò, mesye Israël yo te di a Gédéon: “Vin renye sou nou, ni ou menm ni fis ou yo, ni fis a fis ou yo, paske ou te delivre nou soti nan men Madian.”
23 And Gideon sayde vnto them, I will not reigne ouer you, neither shall my childe reigne ouer you, but the Lord shall reigne ouer you.
Men Gédéon te di yo: “Mwen p ap renye sou nou, ni fis mwen p ap renye sou nou. Se SENYÈ a k ap renye sou nou.”
24 Againe Gideon sayd vnto them, I would desire a request of you, that you would giue mee euery man the earings of his pray (for they had golden earings because they were Ismaelites)
Men Gédéon te di yo: “Mwen ta fè yon demand a nou, pou nou chak ta ban mwen yon zanno soti nan piyaj li yo.” (Paske yo te gen zanno an lò, akoz se te Izmayelit ke yo te ye.)
25 And they answered, Wee will giue them. And they spred a garment, and did cast therein euery man the earings of his pray.
Yo te di: “Anverite, n ap bay yo.” Konsa, yo te ouvri yon vètman e yo chak te jete yon zanno la soti nan piyaj yo.
26 And the weight of the golden earings that he required, was a thousande and seuen hundreth shekels of golde, beside collers and iewels, and purple rayment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the cheynes that were about their camels neckes.
Pèz a zanno lò sila ke li te mande yo se te mil-sèt-san sik, anplis bijou yo, kolye zòrèy yo, manto mov ki te pou wa Madian yo, e anplis, kolye kou chamo ki te sou kou chamo yo.
27 And Gideon made an Ephod thereof, and put it in Ophrah his citie: and all Israel went a whoring there after it, which was the destruction of Gideon and his house.
Gédéon te sèvi l pou fòme yon efòd, li te plase li nan vil pa li a, Ophra e tout Israël te jwe pwostitiye avè l la. Konsa, li te vin yon pèlen pou Gédéon avèk lakay li.
28 Thus was Midian brought lowe before the children of Israel, so that they lift vp their heads no more: and the countrey was in quietnes fourtie yeeres in the dayes of Gideon.
Konsa Madian te kraze ba devan fis Israël yo. Yo pa t leve tèt yo ankò. Epi peyi a te san twoub pandan karant ane nan jou a Gédéon yo.
29 Then Ierubbaal the sonne of Ioash went, and dwelt in his owne house.
Alò, Jerubbaal, fis a Joas la te ale rete nan pwòp kay li.
30 And Gideon had seuentie sonnes begotten of his body: for he had many wiues.
Gédéon te gen swasann-dis fis ki te desandan dirèk pa li, paske li te gen anpil madanm.
31 And his concubine that was in Shechem, bare him a sonne also, whose name he called Abimelech.
Mennaj li ki te nan Sichem, osi te fè yon fis pou li e li te bay li non Abimélec.
32 So Gideon the sonne of Ioash dyed in a good age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Ioash his father in Ophrah, of the father of ye Ezrites.
Konsa, Gédéon, fis a Joas la te mouri a yon laj granmoun, e li te antere nan tonm a papa li, Joas, nan Ophra ki te pou Abizerit yo.
33 But when Gideon was dead, the children of Israel turned away and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their God.
Li te vin rive ke depi Gédéon te fin mouri, fis Israël yo ankò te jwe pwostitiye avèk Baal yo e te fè Baal-Berith dye pa yo.
34 And the children of Israel remembred not the Lord their God, which had deliuered the out of the hands of all their enemies on euery side.
Konsa, fis Israël yo pa t sonje SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, ki te delivre yo nan men a tout lènmi pa yo tout kote.
35 Neither shewed they mercy on the house of Ierubbaal, or Gideon, according to al the goodnesse which he had shewed vnto Israel.
Ni yo pa t bay favè a kay Jerubbaal (sa vle di, Gédéon) an akò avèk tout byen ke li te fè pou Israël yo.
