Judges 15
1 But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat. He said, “I will go in to my wife’s room.” But her father wouldn’t allow him to go in.
Men pita, pandan rekòlt ble a, Samson te vizite madanm li avèk yon jenn kabrit. Li te di: “Mwen va antre vè madanm mwen nan chanm li.” Men papa li pa t kite li antre.
2 Her father said, “I most certainly thought that you utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Isn’t her younger sister more beautiful than she? Please, take her instead.”
Papa li te di li: “Mwen te konnen ke ou te tèlman rayi li; epi pou sa, mwen te bay li a zanmi ou an. Èske pi jenn sè li a pa pi bèl pase li? Souple, kite li vin pou ou nan plas li.”
3 Samson said to them, “This time I will be blameless in the case of the Philistines when I harm them.”
Samson te di a yo: “Fwa sa a, mwen p ap gen tò anvè Filisten yo lè m fè yo mal.”
4 Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took torches, and turned tail to tail, and put a torch in the middle between every two tails.
Samson te ale kenbe twa-san rena. Li te pran tòch yo, e te vire yo mare ke a ke, e li te mete yon tòch nan mitan chak de ke yo.
5 When he had set the torches on fire, he let them go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, and also the olive groves.
Lè l te fin limen tòch yo, li te lage rena yo nan chan sereyal Filisten yo, e te brile pakèt sereyal yo ak ble, ansanm avèk chan rezen avèk lòt chan bwa fwi.
6 Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” They said, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” The Philistines came up, and burned her and her father with fire.
Konsa, Filisten yo te di: “Kilès ki te fè sa?” Yo te reponn: “Samson, bofi a Timnyen an, akoz li te pran madanm li pou te bay li a konpanyen li.” Pou sa, Filisten yo te monte e te brile ni madanm nan, ni papa li avèk dife.
7 Samson said to them, “If you behave like this, surely I will take revenge on you, and after that I will cease.”
Samson te di yo: “Akoz n ap aji konsa, mwen va vrèman pran vanjans sou nou, men apre sa, m ap sispann.”
8 He struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter; and he went down and lived in the cave in Etam’s rock.
Li te frape yo byen di avèk yon gwo masak; epi li te desann pou te viv nan krevas wòch la nan Étam.
9 Then the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Alò, Filisten yo te monte fè kan nan Juda e te vin gaye nan Léchi.
10 The men of Judah said, “Why have you come up against us?” They said, “We have come up to bind Samson, to do to him as he has done to us.”
Mesye Juda yo te di: “Poukisa nou vin monte kont nou?” Yo te di: “Nou te monte pou mare Samson dekwa ke nou kab fè l menm bagay ke li te fè nou an.”
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cave in Etam’s rock, and said to Samson, “Don’t you know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?” He said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”
Epi twa-mil lòm Juda te desann vè krevas wòch la nan Étam, e yo te di Samson: “Èske ou pa konnen ke Filisten yo gen tout fòs sou nou? Poukisa, konsa, ou vin fè nou sa?” Epi li te di yo: “Menm jan yo te fè m nan, se konsa mwen te fè yo.”
12 They said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you will not attack me yourselves.”
Yo te di li: “Nou te vin isit la pou mare ou pou nou kapab livre ou nan men Filisten yo.” Epi Samson te di yo: “Sèmante a mwen ke nou p ap touye mwen.”
13 They spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will bind you securely and deliver you into their hands; but surely we will not kill you.” They bound him with two new ropes, and brought him up from the rock.
Yo te di li: “Non, men nou va mare ou nèt e livre ou nan men yo; men anverite, nou p ap touye ou.” Yo te mare li avèk de kòd nèf e te mennen li monte soti nan wòch la.
14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. Then Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that was burned with fire; and his bands dropped from off his hands.
Lè li te rive nan Léchi, Filisten yo te rele fò pandan yo t ap rankontre li. Epi Lespri SENYÈ a te vini sou li avèk pouvwa, jiskaske kòd sou bwa li yo te vin tankou pay len ki brile ak dife e kòd yo te tonbe sòti nan men li.
15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, put out his hand, took it, and struck a thousand men with it.
Li te twouve yon zo a machwè bourik fre. Konsa, li te lonje pran l e li te touye mil lòm avèk li.
16 Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps on heaps; with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck a thousand men.”
Alò, Samson te di: “Avèk machwè a yon bourik, pil sou pil; avèk machwè a yon bourik, mwen te touye yon milye moun.”
17 When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone out of his hand; and that place was called Ramath Lehi.
Lè l te fin pale, li te jete machwè a sòti nan men l; epi plas sa a te rele Ramath-Léchi.
18 He was very thirsty, and called on Yahweh and said, “You have given this great deliverance by the hand of your servant; and now shall I die of thirst, and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”
Alò, li te vin swaf. Li te rele a SENYÈ a e li te di: “Ou te bay delivrans pa men sèvitè Ou e, koulye a, mwen va mouri ak swaf e tonbe nan men a ensikonsi yo?”
19 But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.
Men Bondye te fann kote vid ki nan Léchi a, e dlo te sòti ladann. Lè li te bwè, fòs li te retounen e li te reprann fòs. Pou sa, li te rele kote sa a En-Hakkoré, ki nan Léchi jis rive jodi a.
20 He judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines.
Epi li te jije Israël pandan ventan nan jou a Filisten yo.
