1 Samuel 14
1 Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.
Alò jou a te rive ke Jonathan, fis a Saül la, te di a jennonm ki t ap pote zam li yo: “Vini, annou travèse vè anplasman post militè Filisten ki sou kote lòtbò a.” Men li pa t pale sa a papa l.
2 Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
Saül te rete nan zòn andeyò Guibea anba pye grenad la nan Migron. Epi moun ki te avèk li yo te anviwon sis-san mesye.
3 including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.
Achija, fis a Achithub la, frè I-Kabod, fis a Phinées a, fis a Éli, sakrifikatè SENYÈ a nan Silo, te abiye avèk yon efòd. Epi pèp la pa t konnen ke Jonathan te ale.
4 Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Antre pasaj kote Jonathan te chache travèse pou rive nan anplasman post militè Filisten yo, te gen yon kote dan wòch byen file sou yon bò ak yon dan wòch byen file sou lòtbò a. Youn te rele Botsets e lòt la te rele Séné.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Youn nan dan wòch yo te leve nan kote nò anfas Micmasch e lòt la nan sid anfas Guéba.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us, for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.”
Alò Jonathan te di a jennonm ki t ap pote zam li yo: “Vini pou nou travèse lòtbò vè anplasman militè a ensikonsi sila yo. Petèt, SENYÈ a va aji pou nou. Paske SENYÈ a pa anpeche delivre, menm si se anpil, menm si se kèk grenn.”
7 His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”
Sila ki pote zam li yo te di: “Fè tout sa ki nan kè ou; vire ou menm e mwen la avèk ou selon volonte ou.”
8 Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.
Jonathan te di: “Gade byen, nou va travèse lòtbò vè mesye yo pou vin parèt a yo menm.
9 If they say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.
Si yo di nou: ‘Tann jiskaske nou rive bò kote nou’, alò, nou va kanpe nan plas nou e pa monte kote yo.
10 But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”
Men si yo di: ‘Vin monte kote nou’, alò nou va monte. Paske SENYÈ a te mete yo nan men nou; epi sa va sinyal pou nou.”
11 Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”
Lè yo toude te parèt nan anplasman militè Filisten yo, Filisten yo te di: “Gade byen, Ebre yo vin sòti nan tou a kote yo te kache kò yo.”
12 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
Epi mesye nan anplasman yo te rele Jonathan avèk gason ki pote zam li yo. Yo te di: “Monte kote nou pou nou di ou yon bagay.” Epi Jonathan te di a gason zam li yo: “Vin monte dèyè m, paskeSENYÈ a fin mete yo nan men Israël.”
13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.
Alò, Jonathan te rale monte ak men l ak pye li, avèk gason zam yo dèyè li. Konsa, yo te tonbe devan Jonathan e gason zam yo te touye kèk apre li.
14 That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
Premye masak sa ke Jonathan avèk gason zam yo te fè te anviwon ven òm soti nan mwatye distans ke yon cha ta fè lè l ap raboure fè yon pase nan yon tyè kawo tè.
15 There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
Epi nan kan an yo t ap tranble, anplis nan chan an, e pami tout pèp la. Menm gason anplasman militè yo te tranble. Ekip ravajè yo te tranble e latè te vin tranble jiskaske li te tranble anpil.
16 The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
Gad Saül yo nan Guibea nan Benjamin te wè ke gran kantite fòs sòlda yo te kòmsi yo t ap fonn; epi yo te gaye pasi pala.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
Saül te di a moun ki te avèk li yo: “Kontwole soti koulye a pou wè kilès ki kite nou.” Epi lè yo fin fè kontwòl, gade byen, Jonathan avèk gason potè zam li yo pa t la.
18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
Alò, Saül te di a Achija: “Mennen lach Bondye a isit la.” Paske lach Bondye a te nan tan sa a avèk fis Israël yo.
19 While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”
Pandan Saül te pale avèk prèt la, zen nan kan Filisten yo te kontinye e te vin ogmante. Donk, Saül te di prèt la: “Retire men w!”
20 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
Epi Saül avèk tout pèp ki te avèk li a te rasanble pou te rive kote batay la. Epi vwala, zam a chak moun te vire kont moun parèy pa yo. Te vin gen yon trè gran konfizyon.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Alò, Ebre ki te avèk Filisten avan yo, ki te monte avèk yo toupatou nan kan an, menm yo menm te vire pou alinye avèk Izrayelit ki te avèk Saül ak Jonathan yo.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Lè tout mesye Israël yo ki te kache kò yo nan peyi ti mòn Ephraïm yo te tande ke Filisten yo te sove ale, menm yo menm anplis, te kouri dèyè yo toupre nan batay la.
23 So Yahweh saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.
Konsa SENYÈ a te delivre Israël nan jou sa a e batay la te gaye pi lwen Beth-Aven.
24 The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
Alò mesye Israël yo te byen peze nan jou sa a, paske Saül te mete pèp la anba yon sèman, e te di: “Modi se mesye ki manje manje avan nwit lan, jiskaske mwen fè vanjans sou lènmi mwen yo.” Konsa, pa t gen nan pèp la ki te goute manje.
25 All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
Tout pèp peyi a te antre nan forè a e te gen siwo myèl atè a.
26 When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
Lè pèp la te antre forè a, men vwala, te gen yon flèv siwo myèl. Men pèsòn pa t rale men l rive nan bouch li, paske pèp la te pè sèman an.
27 But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
Men Jonathan pa t ankò tande lè papa l te mete pèp la anba sèman an. Pou sa, li te lonje baton ki te nan men l lan, li te fonse li nan gato myèl la, li te mete men l nan bouch li e zye li te vin limen.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.
Epi youn nan moun yo te di: “Papa ou te mete pèp la anba sèman avèk severite e li te di: ‘Modi se mesye ki manje manje jodi a.’” Epi pèp la te bouke.
29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
Alò, Jonathan te di: “Papa m te twouble peyi a! Gade, koulye a kijan zye m vin limen akoz mwen te goute yon ti kras nan siwo sa a.
30 How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”
Konbyen anplis, si sèlman pèp la te manje avèk libète jodi a nan piyaj lènmi ke yo te twouve a! Paske koulye a masak pami Filisten yo pa gwo.”
31 They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
Yo te frape pami Filisten yo nan jou sa a soti Micmasch pou jis rive Ajalon. Epi pèp la te vin byen bouke.
32 and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
Pèp la te kouri avèk gwo anvi sou piyaj la. Yo te pran mouton yo avèk gwo bèf ak ti bèf yo, yo te touye yo atè a, e yo te manje yo avèk san an.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
Alò, yo te pale Saül e te di: “Gade byen, pèp la ap peche kont SENYÈ a pandan yo manje avèk san an.” Epi li te di: “Nou te aji kòm trèt; woule yon gwo wòch kote mwen jodi a.”
34 Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
Saül te di: “Gaye nou menm pami pèp la e di yo: ‘Nou chak mennen bèf nou ban mwen, oswa mouton nou e touye li isit la pou manje. Pa fè peche kont SENYÈ a avèk afè manje san an.’” Konsa, tout pèp la nan nwit lan, yo chak te mennen bèf yo e te kòche li la.
35 Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh.
Epi Saül tebati yon lotèl a SENYÈ a; se te premye lotèl ke li te bati a SENYÈ a.
36 Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to God.”
Epi Saül te di: “Annou desann dèyè Filisten yo lannwit lan, pran piyaj pami yo jis li fè klè nan maten e annou pa kite youn nan mesye yo vivan.” Epi yo te di: “Fè nenpòt sa ki sanble bon pou ou menm.” Konsa, prèt la te di: “Annou apwoche de Bondye isit la.”
37 Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
Saül te fè demand a Bondye: “Èske mwen dwe desann dèyè Filisten yo? Èske Ou va ba yo nan men Israël?” Men Li pa t reponn li nan jou sa a
38 Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
Saül te di: “Apwoche isit la, tout chèf a tout pèp la pou fè ankèt pou aprann kijan peche sa a te vin fèt jodi a.
39 For as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
Paske jan SENYÈ a ki delivre Israël la viv la, malgre ke si se fis mwen, Jonathan, li va anverite mouri.” Men yon moun nan tout pèp la pa t reponn li.
40 Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
Alò, li te di a tout Israël: “Nou va sou yon kote e mwen menm avèk Jonathan va nan lòt kote a.” Epi pèp la te di a Saül: “Fè sa ki sanble bon a ou menm.”
41 Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
Pou sa, Saül te di a SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la: “Fè yon tiraj osò konplè.” Epi Jonathan avèk Saül te pran; men pèp la te delivre.
42 Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
Saül te di: “Tiraj osò a antre mwen menm avèk Jonathan, fis mwen an.” Epi se Jonathan ki pran.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”
Alò Saül te di a Jonathan: “Di mwen kisa ou te fè a.” Konsa, Jonathan te rakonte li e te di: “Mwen, anverite, te goute yon ti kras siwo myèl avèk pwent baton ki te nan men m nan. Men mwen, fòk mwen mouri!”
44 Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”
Saül te di: “Ke Bondye fè sa e menm plis; paske vrèman, Jonathan, ou oblije mouri.”
45 The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
Men pèp la te di a Saül: “Èske fòk Jonathan ta mouri, ki te fè reyisi gran delivrans sa a an Israël? Lwen de sa! Kòm SENYÈ a viv la, pa menm yon cheve nan tèt li p ap tonbe atè; paske li te fè travay Bondye nan jou sa a.” Konsa, pèp la te sove Jonathan pou li pa t mouri.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
Alò, Saül te monte kite afè kouri dèyè Filisten yo, e Filisten yo te ale kote plas pa yo a.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
Alò, lè Saül te pran plas chèf sou wayòm Israël la. Li te goumen kont tout lènmi li yo tout kote; kont Moab, fis a Ammon yo, Édom, wa a Zobah yo ak Filisten yo. Nenpòt kote li te vire li te pini yo.
48 He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
Li te aji avèk kouraj; li te bat Amalekit yo, e li te delivre Israël soti nan men a sila ki te piyaje yo.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
Alò, fis a Saül yo te Jonathan, Jischiv avèk Malkischua. Epi non a de fi yo se te konsa; non a premye ne a, Mérab e non a pi piti a, Mical.
50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
Non a madanm a Saül se te Achinoam fi a Achimaats la. Epi non a kapitèn lame a se te Abner, fis a Ner a, tonton a Saül.
51 Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
Kish se te papa a Saül ak Ner. Papa a Abner te fis a Abiel.
52 There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
Alò, lagè kont Filisten yo te di anpil pandan tout jou a Saül yo. Epi lè Saül te wè nenpòt gason pwisan oswa vanyan, li te fè l vin atache nan sèvis pa l la.
