I Samuel 11

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.

Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh–gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.

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 answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.

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 elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.

Mesaje yo rive lavil Gibeya kote Sayil te rete a. Lè yo bay pèp la mesaj la, tout moun pete rele byen fò.

Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.

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 came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.

Tande li tande koze a, lespri Bondye desann sou li, epi li fè gwo kòlè.

And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.

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 took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

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 when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

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 said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh–gilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

Yo voye di Nakach: -Denmen n'ap rann tèt nou ba ou. Lè sa a, w'a fè sa ou vle avèk nou.

Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.

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 was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.

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 said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.

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 said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.

Epi Samyèl di yo: -Leve non. Ann al lavil Gilgal. Lè n'a rive la, n'a fè seremoni pou renmèt li pouvwa a.

Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.

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 went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
