Judges 8

Moun fanmi Efrayim yo di Jedeyon konsa: -Poukisa ou pa t' rele nou depi lè ou tapral goumen ak moun peyi Madyan yo? Poukisa ou fè nou sa? Yo te fache anpil sou li.

And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.

Men, li di yo: -Sa m' fè a pa ka parèt devan sa nou menm nou fè a! Ti sa nou menm moun Efrayim yo, nou fè a pi plis pase sa nou menm ti fanmi Abyezè a, nou fè!

And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi–ezer?

Bondye lage Orèb ak Zeyèb, de chèf moun Madyan yo, nan men nou. Kisa mwen fè ki ka parèt devan sa? Fini li fin di yo sa, mesye Efrayim yo pa fache sou li ankò.

God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

Jedeyon rive bò larivyè Jouden an avèk twasan mesye ki te avè l' yo. Yo janbe larivyè a. Apre tout kouri sa a yo te fè dèyè lènmi yo, yo te bouke anpil.

And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

Jedeyon pale ak moun lavil Soukòt yo, li di yo: -Tanpri, bay mesye m' yo kèk moso pen pou yo manje. Yo bouke anpil. M'ap kouri dèyè Zebak ak Salmouna, wa moun Madyan yo.

And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

Men chèf lavil Soukòt yo di l' konsa: -Poukisa ou vle pou nou bay lame ou la manje! Ala ou poko mete men sou Zebak ak Salmouna!

And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?

Jedeyon di yo: -Anhan! Se konsa! Bon! Lè Seyè a va fin lage Zebak ak Salmouna nan men mwen, m'ap tounen pou nou! M'ap filange nou ak fwèt pikan ak chadwon savann.

And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

Li kite lavil Soukòt, li moute lavil Penyèl. Li mande yo menm bagay la. Men, moun lavil Penyèl yo reponn li tankou moun lavil Soukòt yo.

And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.

Jedeyon di yo: -Mwen gen pou m' tounen apre batay la! Lè sa a, m'ap kraze gwo fò won sa a.

And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

Zebak ak Salmouna te lavil Kakò avèk tout lame yo. Nan tout kantite sòlda moun dezè yo, te gen sanvenmil (120.000) sòlda ki te mouri. Te rete sèlman kenzmil (15.000) gason.

Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.

Jedeyon pran wout ki pase nan dezè a, sou bò solèy leve lavil Nobak ak lavil Yogbeya, epi li tonbe sou lame a ki te kwè pa t' gen danje pou yo ankò.

And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.

Zebak ak Salmouna, de wa Madyan yo, kouri met deyò. Jedeyon kouri dèyè yo, li mete men sou yo, li gaye tout lame a, li fè yo kraze rak.

And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

Lè Jedeyon, pitit Joas la, tounen soti nan lagè a, li pase sou ti mòn Erès la.

And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,

Li fè yo mete men sou yon jenn gason ki te rete lavil Soukòt epi li keksyonnen l'. Jenn gason an ekri non swasanndisèt moun ki te otorite ak chèf fanmi lavil Soukòt li bay Jedeyon.

And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.

Apre sa, Jedeyon al jwenn moun lavil Soukòt yo, li di yo: -Nou chonje jan nou te joure m' pou Zebak ak Salmouna! Nou te di m' nou pa t' ka bay mesye m' yo moso pen pou yo manje atout yo te bouke, paske mwen pa t' ankò mete men sou Zebak ak Salmouna. Men yo tande!

And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?

Lèfini, li pran branch pikan ak chadwon nan savann lan, li bat chèf lavil Soukòt yo byen bat.

And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.

Apre sa, l' al kraze gwo fò won lavil Penwèl la, epi li touye mezi gason ki te rete nan lavil la.

And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.

Lèfini, li di Zebak ak Salmouna: -Moun nou te touye sou mòn Tabò a, ki jan yo te ye? Sa yo te sanble? Yo reponn: -Yo te sanble avè ou. Nou ta di yo tout se pitit wa yo ye.

Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.

Li di yo: -Se frè m' yo te ye, pitit menm manman avè m'. Mwen fè sèman, devan Bondye ki vivan an, si nou pa t' touye yo, mwen pa ta touye nou tou!

And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.

Epi li di Jetè, premye pitit gason l' lan: -Annavan! Touye yo! Men, jenn gason an pa wete nepe l' nan djenn li. Li te pè paske li te timoun toujou.

And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.

Lè sa a, Zebak ak Salmouna di: -Annavan non, monchè! Se ou menm ki pou touye nou! Se gason tout bon ki pou fè kalite travay konsa. Jedeyon leve vre, li touye Zebak ak Salmouna. Apre sa, li pran tout bijou ki te gen fòm dekou lalen ki te mare nan kou chamo yo.

Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo di Jedeyon konsa: -Se pou ou vin chèf sou nou, ou menm, pitit ou ak pitit pitit ou apre ou. Paske ou delivre nou anba men moun Madyan yo.

Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.

Men, Jedeyon reponn yo: -Mwen p'ap chèf nou, ni pitit mwen p'ap chèf nou tou. Se Seyè a ki va chèf nou.

And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.

Apre sa, Jedeyon di yo: -Yon sèl bagay m'ap mande nou: Se pou chak moun wete yon grenn zanno nan sa li pran an ban mwen. Moun Madyan yo te pote zanno lò, tankou lòt moun k'ap viv nan dezè a.

And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

Moun pèp Izrayèl yo reponn li: -Se tout plezi nou pou n' ba ou yo! Yo louvri yon rad atè, epi chak moun pran yon zanno nan sa yo te pran an, yo mete l' sou rad la.

And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.

Tout zanno Jedeyon te mande yo te fè antou swasant liv lò konsa, san konte bijou ki te gen fòm dekou lalen yo, kolye yo, bèl rad wouj ki te sou wa yo, ak kolye ki te mare nan kou chamo yo.

And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.

Jedeyon fè yon estati ak lò a, li mete l' nan lavil Ofra, kote l' moun lan. Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do bay Bondye, yo vin adore estati a lavil Ofra. Sa te tounen yon pèlen pou Jedeyon ak tout fanmi li yo.

And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.

Se konsa moun Madyan yo te vin soumèt devan moun pèp Izrayèl la. Depi jou sa a yo pa janm leve tèt yo ankò. Pandan karantan te gen lapè nan peyi a jouk jou Jedeyon mouri.

Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.

Jedeyon, pitit Joas la, ki rele Jewoubaal tou, tounen al rete lakay li.

And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.

Li te gen swasanndis pitit gason, paske li te gen anpil manman pitit.

And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.

Li te gen yon fanm kay ki te rete Sichèm. Ti fanm sa a te fè yon pitit gason pou li, li rele l' Abimelèk.

And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.

Lè Jedeyon, pitit Joas la, mouri, li te gen yon bèl laj sou tèt li. Yo antere l' nan kavo Joas, papa l', te genyen lavil Ofra, lavil ki te pou fanmi Abyezè yo.

And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi–ezrites.

Apre Jedeyon mouri, pèp Izrayèl la vire do bay Bondye ankò, yo pran fè sèvis pou Baal yo. Yo fè Baal-Berit sèvi yo bondye.

And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal–berith their god.

Se konsa, yo pa dòmi reve Seyè a, Bondye yo a, li menm ki te delivre yo anba men lènmi ki te sènen yo toupatou.

And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:

Yo moutre yo engra, yo bliye fanmi Jedeyon an ansanm ak tout byen li te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la.

Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.
