Judges 3

Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

Seyè a te kite kèk nasyon nan peyi a pou l' te ka sonde moun pèp Izrayèl la ki patko fèt lè yo t'ap fè lagè pou antre nan peyi Kanaran an.

Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

Li te fè sa konsa pou l' te ka moutre chak jenerasyon pèp Izrayèl la sa yo rele fè lagè, sitou sa ki pa t' janm al nan lagè anvan sa.

Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal–hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

Men moun li te kite nan peyi a: Se te moun Filisti yo ki te rete nan senk lavil, tout moun Kanaran yo, moun Sidon yo ak moun Evi yo ki te rete nan mòn Liban yo, depi mòn Baal-Emon jouk Pas Amat.

And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

Se ak moun sa yo Seyè a t'ap sonde pèp la pou l' te ka konnen si yo te soti pou koute lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou zansèt yo a.

And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la twouve l' rete ap viv nan mitan moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.

And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

Yo pran pitit fi moun sa yo pou madanm, yo bay pitit gason moun sa yo pitit fi pa yo pou madanm, epi yo pran sèvi bondye moun sa yo tou.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tanmen fè bagay ki te mal nan je Seyè a. Yo bliye Seyè a, Bondye-yo a, yo pran fè sèvis pou Baal yo ak Achera yo.

Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan–rishathaim eight years.

Seyè a fache sou pèp Izrayèl la epi li kite Kouchan-Riche Atayim, wa peyi Mezopotami an, mete pye sou kou yo. Pandan witan pèp Izrayèl la te anba men Kouchan-Riche Atayim.

And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran kriye nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a voye yon nonm pou delivre yo. Se te Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz, ki te ti frè Kalèb.

And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan–rishathaim.

Lespri Seyè a te sou li, li vin yon gwo chèf nan peyi Izrayèl. Li leve l' al goumen. Seyè a lage Kouchan-Riche Atayim, wa peyi Mezopotami an, nan men li, li fè l' kraze l'.

And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

Apre sa, te gen lapè nan peyi a pandan karantan. Epi Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz la, mouri.

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rekonmanse ap fè sa ki te mal nan je Seyè a ankò. Seyè a pran Eglon, wa peyi Moab la, li fè l' vin pi fò pase pèp Izrayèl la. Epi li fè l' leve dèyè pèp Izrayèl la.

And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

Eglon pran moun Amon yo ak moun Amalèk yo ansanm avè l', epi yo ale, yo bat moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Palmis yo pou yo.

So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

Pandan dizwitan pèp Izrayèl la te anba men Eglon, wa peyi Moab la.

But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran kriye nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a voye yon lòt moun pou delivre yo. Se te Eyoud, pitit gason Gera, moun branch fanmi Benjamen an. Msye te goche. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo bay Eyoud yon kado al pote bay Eglon, wa peyi Moab.

But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

Eyoud fè yo fè yon ponya espesyal pou li. Ponya a te gen yon pye edmi longè, li te file de bò. Li mare l' sou kwis pye dwat li, anba rad li.

And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

Epi li pote kado a bay Eglon, wa peyi Moab la. Eglon te gwo anpil.

And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

Lè Eyoud fin bay wa a kado a, li voye moun ki te pote kado a ale.

But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

Men li menm, lè li rive bò estati zidòl yo ki toupre lavil Gilgal la, li tounen vin jwenn Eglon. Li di l' konsa: -Monwa, mwen gen yon komisyon pou ou, men fòk pa ta gen lòt moun la. Lè sa a, wa a di moun ki te la yo: -Kite nou pou kont nou! Tout moun ki te la avè l' yo soti.

And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

Wa a te chita nan chanm pa l' anwo kay la, kote ki te fè fre anpil. Eyoud pwoche bò kote l', li di l' konsa: -Se yon mesaj Bondye ban m' pou ou. Wa a leve kanpe.

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

Eyoud lonje men gòch li, li rale ponya a bò kwis pye dwat li, epi li sèvi wa a yon kou nan vant.

And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

Li foure ponya a tout longè l' nèt jouk manch li pèdi nan vant li, epi po grès la fèmen sou ponya a paske Eyoud pa t' rale l' soti. Pwent ponya a menm te parèt pa dèyè.

Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

Lèfini, Eyoud soti nan chanm lan, li fèmen pòt yo dèyè l', li klete yo,

When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

epi l' ale fè wout li. Lè domestik wa yo vini, yo wè pòt chanm wa a te fèmen akle. Yo di konsa: -Gen lè wa a okipe anndan an. L'ap fè bezwen li.

And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

Yo tann yon bon ti moman, yo ba li tan pou l' fini. Men, yo wè li pa janm louvri pòt la. Lè sa a, yo pran kle a epi yo louvri. Yo wè wa a kouche tou long atè, li te mouri!

And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

Pandan mesye yo t'ap tann tout tan sa a, Eyoud menm gen tan chape kò l'. Li pase bò estati zidòl yo, epi li pran wout mòn Seyira a pou li, l' ale.

And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

Lè li rive Seyira nan mòn peyi Efrayim lan, li kònen pou rele moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo desann soti nan mòn lan, epi Eyoud pran mache alatèt yo.

And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

Li di yo konsa: -Swiv mwen! Seyè a lage moun Moab yo, lènmi nou yo, nan men nou jòdi a! Yo tout desann swiv li. Yo bare pas dlo kote moun Moab yo konn janbe larivyè Jouden an. Yo pa kite yon moun pase.

And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.

Lè sa a, yo te touye dimil (10.000) sòlda konsa, sòlda ki te gwonèg epi ki te konn goumen. Yonn pa chape.

So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

Jou sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo bat moun Moab yo byen bat. Apre sa, pandan katreventan te gen lapè nan peyi a.

And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.

Apre Eyoud, yo vin gen yon lòt chèf: Se te Chanmga, pitit Anat. Li menm menm avèk yon fwèt kach po bèf, li te touye sisan (600) sòlda nan lame moun Filisti yo. Konsa li delivre pèp Izrayèl la.
