1 Samyèl 11
1 Yon mwa konsa apre bagay sa yo fin pase, Nakach, moun peyi Amon, moute al atake lavil Jabès nan peyi Galarad. Li sènen lavil la. Mesye lavil Jabès yo di Nakach konsa: -Ann siyen yon kontra. N'ap asepte ou pou chèf.
And Nahash the Ammonite comes up, and encamps against Jabesh-Gilead, and all the men of Jabesh say to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we serve you.”
2 Men, Nakach reponn yo: -M'ap siyen kontra a avèk nou, men sou yon sèl kondisyon: m'ap pete je dwat nou tout. Konsa, m'a fè tout pèp Izrayèl la wont.
And Nahash the Ammonite says to them, “For this I cut [a covenant] with you, in picking out every right eye of yours—and I have set it [for] a reproach on all Israel.”
3 Chèf lavil Jabès la di li: -Ban nou sèt jou pou nou voye mesaje bay tout pèp la nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Si pa gen pesonn pou sove nou, lè sa a n'a rann tèt nou ba ou.
And [the] elderly of Jabesh say to him, “Leave us alone [for] seven days, and we send messengers into all the border of Israel: and if there is none saving us—then we have come out to you.”
4 Mesaje yo rive lavil Gibeya kote Sayil te rete a. Lè yo bay pèp la mesaj la, tout moun pete rele byen fò.
And the messengers come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak the words in the ears of the people, and all the people lift up their voice and weep;
5 Sayil t'ap antre sot nan jaden ak bèf li yo. Li mande sa ki genyen, pouki tout moun t'ap rele konsa. Yo di l' sa moun lavil Jabès yo te vin di yo.
and behold, Saul has come out of the field after the herd, and Saul says, “What [is that] to the people, that they weep?” And they recount the words of the men of Jabesh to him.
6 Tande li tande koze a, lespri Bondye desann sou li, epi li fè gwo kòlè.
And the Spirit of God prospers over Saul, in his hearing these words, and his anger burns greatly,
7 Li pran de bèf, li koupe yo an moso, epi li voye mesaje pote moso vyann bèf yo nan tout peyi Izrayèl la avèk mesaj sa a: -Tout moun ki va derefize mache dèyè Sayil ak Samyèl nan batay la, n'ap koupe bèf yo an moso tankou bèf sa a. Seyè a voye yon sèl lapè sou pèp la. Yo tout leve avèk menm lide nan tèt yo, yo vin jwenn Sayil.
and he takes a couple of oxen, and cuts them in pieces, and sends [them] through all the border of Israel, by the hand of the messengers, saying, “He who is not coming out after Saul and after Samuel—thus it is done to his oxen”; and the fear of YHWH falls on the people, and they come out as one man.
8 Sayil sanble yo bò lavil Bezèk pou l' pase yo enspeksyon: Te gen twasan mil (300.000) sòlda ki te moun pèp Izrayèl ak trantmil (30.000) ki te moun fanmi Jida.
And he inspects them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel are three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 Yo rele mesaje ki te soti lavil Jabès yo, yo di yo: -Men sa n'a di moun lavil Jabès yo nan peyi Galarad: Denmen, vè midi, n'a vin delivre nou. Lè moun lavil Jabès yo resevwa mesaj la yo te kontan anpil.
And they say to the messengers who are coming, “Thus you say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: Tomorrow you have safety—by the heat of the sun”; and the messengers come and declare [it] to the men of Jabesh, and they rejoice;
10 Yo voye di Nakach: -Denmen n'ap rann tèt nou ba ou. Lè sa a, w'a fè sa ou vle avèk nou.
and the men of Jabesh say [to the Ammonites], “Tomorrow we come out to you, and you have done to us according to all that [is] good in your eyes.”
11 Nan denmen maten Sayil pran sòlda yo, li fè twa gwoup. Epi anvan solèy leve, yo kouri antre nan kan moun Amon yo, yo atake yo, yo bat yo. Li te midi yo t'ap touye moun toujou. Sa ki pa t' mouri yo kouri chape kò yo grenn pa grenn.
And it comes to pass, on the next day, that Saul puts the people in three detachments, and they come into the midst of the camp in the morning-watch, and strike Ammon until the heat of the day; and it comes to pass that those left are scattered, and there have not been left two of them together.
12 Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la di Samyèl konsa: -Kote moun ki t'ap di Sayil pa ka wa nou? Lage yo nan men nou pou nou touye yo.
And the people say to Samuel, “Who is he that says, Saul reigns over us? Give up the men, and we put them to death.”
13 Men, Sayil di yo konsa: -Nou p'ap touye pesonn jòdi a. Paske jòdi a se jou Seyè a delivre pèp Izrayèl la.
And Saul says, “There is no man put to death on this day, for today YHWH has worked salvation in Israel.”
14 Epi Samyèl di yo: -Leve non. Ann al lavil Gilgal. Lè n'a rive la, n'a fè seremoni pou renmèt li pouvwa a.
And Samuel says to the people, “Come and we go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there”;
15 Se konsa tout moun moute lavil Gilgal. Yo fè Sayil wa devan lotèl Seyè a. Yo touye bèt yo te ofri pou di Bondye mèsi. Sayil fè gwo fèt ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo lavil Gilgal.
and all the people go to Gilgal, and cause Saul to reign there before YHWH in Gilgal, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings there before YHWH, and Saul rejoices there—and all the men of Israel—very greatly.
