Jij 4-6
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Lè Eyoud mouri, moun pèp Izrayèl yo rekonmanse ankò ap fè bagay ki te mal nan je Seyè a.
2 Lè sa a, Seyè a te kite Jaben, wa peyi Kanaran an, mete pye sou kou yo. Jaben sa a t'ap gouvènen nan lavil Azò. Chèf ki t'ap kòmande lame Jaben an te rele Sisera. Li menm, li te rete lavil Awochèt-Goyim.
3 Li te gen nèfsan (900) cha lagè fèt an fè. Pandan ventan li t'ap maltrete moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li t'ap malmennen yo. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la pran rele nan pye Seyè a.
4 ¶ Debora, madanm yon nonm yo te rele Lapidòt, te pwofèt Bondye. Nan tan sa a, se li ki te konn rann jijman sou tout bagay nan peyi Izrayèl la.
5 Nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo, ant lavil Rama ak lavil Betèl, te gen yon pye palmis yo te rele Palmis Debora. Se la anba pye palmis sa a li te konn chita, lèfini moun nan pèp la te konn vin kote l' pou l' te regle tout bagay pou yo.
6 Li voye chache Barak, pitit gason Abinoram, moun lavil Kadès nan peyi moun Neftali yo. Li di l' konsa: -Men lòd Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye ba ou: Ale! Mennen sòlda ou yo sou mòn Tabò. Nan branch fanmi Neftali a ak nan branch fanmi Zabilon an, pran dimil (10.000) gason avè ou.
7 M'a pral fè Sisera, kòmandan an chèf lame wa Jaben an, vin goumen avè ou bò larivyè Kichon an. L'ap vini avèk cha lagè l' yo ansanm ak tout sòlda li yo. Men, m'ap lagè l' nan men ou.
8 Barak di Debora: -Si ou prale avè m', m'a prale. Men si ou pa prale avè m', mwen pa prale.
9 Debora reponn: -Bon. Dakò! M' prale avè ou. Men, yo p'ap janm di se ou ki te bat Sisera, paske se yon fanm Seyè a ap fè touye l'. Epi Debora leve, l' ale lavil Kadès ansanm ak Barak.
10 ¶ Barak rele moun nan branch fanmi Zabilon yo ak moun nan branch fanmi Neftali yo vin Kadès. Se konsa dimil (10.000) gason ale avè l'. Debora ale avè l' tou.
11 Lè sa a te gen yon nonm nan fanmi Kayen an yo te rele Ebè ki te moute kay li toupre lavil Kadès, bò pye chenn nan fon Zaranayim lan. Li te wete kò l' nan mitan lòt moun fanmi Kayen yo, desandan Obab, bòpè Moyiz la.
12 Y' al di Sisera men Barak, pitit gason Abinoram lan, te pran chemen moute mòn Tabò.
13 Sisera fè chache nèfsan (900) cha lagè an fè l' yo ak tout sòlda li yo, li fè yo kite Awochèt-Goyim desann ravin Kichon.
14 Debora di Barak konsa: -Annou wè! Jòdi a, se jou Seyè a pral lage Sisera nan men ou. Se Seyè a k'ap mache devan ou. Se konsa, Barak desann soti sou mòn Tabò a avèk dimil (10.000) sòlda dèyè l'.
15 Lè Barak parèt avèk lame l' la, Seyè a lage yon sèl kè kase sou Sisera ak tout moun sou cha lagè l' yo ansanm ak tout lame l' la. Sisera desann sot sou cha li a, li met deyò, li di pye sa m' manje m' pa ba ou!
16 Barak menm pran kouri dèyè cha yo ak lame a jouk Awochèt-Goyim. Yo touye tout sòlda Sisera yo nèt. Yo pa kite yonn chape.
17 ¶ Sisera kouri sou de pye l' bò tant Jayèl, madanm Ebè, moun branch fanmi Kayen yo, paske Jaben, wa Azò a, ak moun fanmi Ebè yo te byen yonn ak lòt.
18 Jayèl soti al kontre Sisera, epi li di l' konsa: -Vini non, chèf mwen! Vin kache lakay mwen non! Ou pa bezwen pè anyen. Se konsa Sisera antre lakay Jayèl ki kache msye anba yon gwo dra.
19 Sisera di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo. Swaf ap touye m'! Jayèl louvri yon veso lèt fèt an po, li ba l' ti gout lèt bwè, epi li kache l' anba gwo dra a ankò.
20 Sisera di l' ankò: -Rete kanpe devan papòt tant lan. Nenpòt moun ki ta vin mande ou si gen yon moun nan kay la w'a reponn li: Non. Pa gen pesonn.
21 Sisera te sitèlman bouke, dòmi pote l' ale. Lè sa a, Jayèl, madanm Ebè, pran yonn nan pikèt tant yo ak yon mato, li pwoche tou dousman bò kote Sisera, epi li foure pikèt la nan tanp msye, li fè l' travèse tèt Sisera pak an pak, jouk li antre nan tè. Epi Sisera mouri.
22 Lè Barak rive bò kay la ap chache Sisera, Jayèl soti vin kontre l', epi li di l': -Vini non! M'a fè ou wè moun w'ap chache a! Se konsa Barak antre avè l' anba tant li a, li wè Sisera kouche atè a tou mouri avèk pikèt la plante nan tanp li.
23 Jou sa a, Bondye te fè Jaben, wa peyi Kanaran an, bese tèt devan pèp Izrayèl la.
24 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran maltrete Jaben, wa peyi Kanaran an, jouk yo touye l'.
5 ¶ Jou sa a, Debora ak Barak, pitit gason Obinoram lan, pran chante chante sa a:
2 -Lwanj pou Seyè a, lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti pou yo goumen, lè pèp la pote tèt li ak kè kontan pou fè lagè!
3 Nou menm wa yo, koute sa m'ap di! Nou menm gwo chèf yo, louvri zòrèy nou! Mwen pral chante pou Seyè a! Mwen pral fè lwanj Sengè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
4 Seyè! Lè ou te kite mòn Seyi yo, lè ou te soti nan zòn peyi Edon an, latè te pran tranble, lapli tonbe anpil sot nan syèl la. Wi, nwaj yo pran lage dlo.
5 Mòn yo pran tranble devan mèt mòn Sinayi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
6 ¶ Sou tan Chanmga, pitit gason Anat la, ak sou tan Jayèl, bann machann yo te sispann pwonmennen nan tout peyi a ak bèt yo. Vwayajè yo te blije pase nan lòt chemen.
7 Lavil peyi Izrayèl yo pa t' gen moun ladan yo ankò pou pran defans yo. Yo te rete san moun pou defann yo, jouk jou mwen menm, Debora, mwen parèt tankou yon manman pou pèp Izrayèl la.
8 Lè sa a, te prèt pou gen lagè nan peyi a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tanmen sèvi lòt bondye. Lè sa a tou, te gen karantmil (40.000) gason nan pèp Izrayèl la. Men, pa t' gen yon plak pwotèj ak frenn pou yo sèvi.
9 Mwen kontan chèf k'ap kòmande pèp Izrayèl la! Mwen kontan moun ki te pote tèt yo pou y' al goumen! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
10 Nou menm ki moute manman bourik blan yo, nou menm ki chita sou bèl tapi, nou menm k'ap mache apye sou gran chimen, kalkile sa byen!
11 Koute vwa moun ki al bò sous dlo yo! Y'ap rakonte tout bèl bagay Seyè a te fè, bèl bagay li te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, pèp Seyè a te desann bò pòtay yo.
12 ¶ Annavan! Debora! Annavan! Annou wè! Chante yon chante! Annavan! Annavan! Barak! pitit gason Abinoram lan! Mennen prizonye yo vini!
13 Lè sa a, sa ki pa t' vire do bay Bondye yo desann vin jwenn chèf yo. Pèp Seyè a vin jwenn li, tou pare pou lagè.
14 Yo soti nan mòn Efrayim yo desann nan fon an, dèyè moun Benjamen yo ak sòlda lame yo. Kòmandan lame yo desann soti Maki, jeneral yo soti nan peyi Zabilon.
15 Chèf branch fanmi Isaka yo te la avèk Debora. Wi, moun Isaka yo vini, Barak te vini tou. Yo swiv li nan tout plenn lan. Men, moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo te divize. Yo pa t' ka deside pou yo vini.
16 Poukisa yo rete dèyè avèk mouton yo? Pou yo te ka tande gadò yo ap rele bann mouton yo? Wi! Moun Woubenn yo te an balan. Yo pa t' ka deside si y'ap vini, si yo p'ap vini!
17 Moun Galarad yo te rete rete yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden an. Moun Dann yo rete rete yo sou bato yo. Moun Asè yo rete rete yo bò lanmè a, yo rete sou tout rivaj yo.
18 Men, moun Zabilon yo ak moun Neftali yo al brave danje kote batay la ye a.
19 Wa yo vini, yo kwaze fè bò Tanak, toupre sous dlo Megido a. Wa peyi Kanaran yo goumen, men yo pa jwenn anyen pou yo pote ale! Pa menm yon ti moso ajan!
20 Zetwal yo rete nan syèl la yo goumen. Yo rete kote y'ap mache nan syèl la, yo goumen ak Sisera.
21 Dlo ravin Kichon an desann pote yo ale. Wi, se ansyen ravin lan, ravin Kichon an, ki fè sa. M'ap mache pran yo, je m' byen kale!
22 Lè sa a, yo tande chwal yo ki t'ap galope ale. Chwal yo t'ap pilonnen tè a ak zago yo.
23 Zanj Seyè a di: Ann mande madichon pou lavil Mewòz! Madichon, madichon pou tout moun k'ap viv nan lavil la. Yo pa t' vin ede Seyè a, yo pa t' voye sòlda goumen pou li.
24 ¶ Nan tout fanm ki sou latè, Jayèl se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil. Wi, Jayèl, madan Ebè, moun fanmi Kayen, nan tout fanm ki sou latè, se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil.
25 Sisera mande l' dlo, li ba li lèt. Li ba l' yon krèm lèt nan pi bèl bòl li te genyen.
26 Li pran yon pikèt tant nan men gòch li, yon mato travayè nan men dwat li. Li frape Sisera nan tèt ak mato a, li krabouye tèt li. Li pèse tanp li, li touye l'.
27 Sisera tonbe sou jenou, li woule atè, epi li mouri nan pye Jayèl. Wi, nan pye madanm lan, li tonbe sou jenou li yo, li woule atè. Kote li kouche a, li mouri frèt.
28 Manman Sisera ap gade nan fennèt la. L'ap gade dèyè jalouzi a, l'ap mande: -Kote cha pitit mwen an depi tout tan sa a? Poukisa chwal li yo pran tout reta sa a pou yo vini?
29 Lè sa a, medam ki gen plis konprann nan sèvant li yo reponn li. Li menm tou, li t'ap repete nan kè l':
30 -Koulye a yo dwe ap separe sa yo pran nan men lènmi yo! Yon fi, de fi pou chak sòlda, bèl twal koulè byen bwode pou Sisera, yon gwo mouchwa bwode byen bèl pou l' mete nan kou l'.
31 Wi, Seyè! Se konsa pou tout lènmi ou yo mouri. Men, zanmi ou yo ap klere tankou solèy midi. Apre sa, te gen lapè nan peyi a pandan karantan.
6 ¶ Pèp Izrayèl la lage kò l' ankò nan fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Seyè a kite moun peyi Madyan yo mete pye sou kou yo pandan sètan.
2 Moun peyi Madyan yo te pi fò pase moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se poutèt sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo al kache kò yo nan fon ravin, nan gwòt, nan twou wòch yo jwenn nan mòn yo.
3 Chak fwa moun Izrayèl yo te fè yon ti plante, moun Madyan yo moute ansanm avèk moun Amalèk yo ak lòt bann moun k'ap viv sou bò solèy leve, yo vin atake yo.
4 Yo moute tant yo sou tè moun Izrayèl yo, yo ravaje tout rekòt yo rive jouk toupre lavil Gaza. Yo pa kite anyen pou moun Izrayèl yo manje, pa menm yon mouton, yon bèf osinon yon bourik.
5 Lè konsa, yo moute ak tout tant yo ak bann bèt yo. Yo moute an kantite, ou ta di bann krikèt vèt. Ou pa ka konte konbe ki genyen, ni kantite chamo yo mennen ak yo. Yo te vin nan peyi a pou ravaje l'.
6 Moun peyi Madyan yo te fini ak moun Izrayèl yo. Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo kriye nan pye Seyè a, yo mande l' sekou.
7 ¶ Lè pèp Izrayèl la te kriye nan pye Seyè a pou moun peyi Madyan yo,
8 Seyè a te voye yon pwofèt bay pèp la ki di yo: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di nou: Se mwen menm ki te fè nou soti nan peyi Lejip kote nou te nan esklavaj la.
9 Mwen te delivre nou anba men moun Lejip yo ak anba men tout lòt moun ki t'ap malmennen nou isit la. Mwen mete yo deyò pou yo fè plas pou nou, lèfini mwen ban nou peyi moun sa yo pou nou rete.
10 Mwen te di nou se mwen menm Seyè a ki Bondye nou an. Koulye a nou rete nan peyi moun Amori yo, piga n' al sèvi bann bondye moun sa yo. Men, nou pa t' koute m' lè m' te pale nou.
11 ¶ Lè sa a, zanj Seyè a vini, li chita anba pye chenn ki toupre yon ti bouk yo rele Ofra, ki te pou Joas, moun fanmi Abyezè yo. Jedeyon, pitit gason l' lan, t'ap bat ble an kachèt anndan kay kote yo konn kraze rezen an, pou moun Madyan yo pa t' vin pran l' nan men l'.
12 Zanj Seyè a parèt devan l', li di l' konsa: -Bonjou, vanyan sòlda! Seyè a avè ou!
13 Jedeyon reponn li: -Adye, msye! Si Seyè a avè nou vre, manyè di m' poukisa tout bagay sa yo rive nou! Kote tout bèl bagay zansèt nou yo te rakonte nou Seyè a te konn fè, jan se li menm ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip? Men koulye a, Seyè a lage nou, li kite moun Madyan yo fè sa yo vle ak nou.
14 Lè sa a, Seyè a bay Jedeyon lòd sa a, li di l': -Ale non. Avèk fòs kouraj ou genyen an, w'a delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba men moun peyi Madyan yo. Se mwen menm menm ki voye ou!
15 Jedeyon reponn li! -Tanpri, mèt! Avèk kisa mwen pral delivre pèp Izrayèl la? Fanmi mwen, se li ki gen pi piti moun nan branch fanmi Manase a. Lèfini, mwen menm pou tèt pa m', se mwen menm ki pi piti lakay papa m'.
16 Seyè a di l': -Ou ka fè l', paske m'ap kanpe la avè ou. Ou pral kraze moun Madyan yo tankou si se te yon sèl moun yo te ye.
17 Jedeyon reponn: -Si reyèlman vre ou vle fè m' favè sa a, ban m' yon prèv se ou menm tout bon k'ap pale avè m' la a.
18 Tanpri, pa deplase kote ou ye a jouk m'a pote yon ofrann mete nan pye ou. Li reponn: -M'ap rete la tann ou.
19 Se konsa, Jedeyon antre, li kwit yon jenn ti kabrit. Li pran yon mamit farin frans, li fè pen san li pa mete ledven ladan l'. Li mete vyann lan nan yon ti panyen, li mete sòs vyann lan nan yon gode, li pote yo bay zanj Seyè a anba pye chenn lan. Li lonje yo ba li.
20 Zanj lan di l': -Mete vyann lan ak pen yo sou gwo wòch ou wè la a, epi vide sòs la sou yo. Jedeyon fè sa vre.
21 Zanj Seyè a leve baton ki te nan men l' lan, li lonje l', li manyen vyann lan ak pen yo ak pwent baton an. Yon dife soti nan wòch la, li boule tout vyann lan ak pen yo. Epi, lamenm zanj Seyè a disparèt devan li.
22 Lè Jèdeyon wè se zanj Seyè a menm ki te parèt devan l', li di: -Bondye Seyè o! Gade malè ki rive m' non! Mwen wè zanj Seyè a fas pou fas!
23 Men, Seyè a di l' konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè. Poze san ou. Ou p'ap mouri pou sa.
24 Jedeyon bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a la menm. Epi li rele l': Seyè a bay kè poze. Jouk jòdi a lotèl la la nan ti bouk Ofra a, sou pwopryete ki pou moun Abyezè yo.
25 ¶ Menm jou lannwit sa a, Seyè a di Jedeyon konsa: -Pran towo bèf papa ou la, ansanm ak yon lòt towo ki gen sètan. Kraze lotèl papa ou te fè pou Baal la. Koupe poto Achera ki bò kote l' la.
26 Moute sou ti bit sa a, bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la, jan yo konn fè l' la. Lèfini, pran dezyèm towo a, boule l' nèt sou lotèl la pou mwen nan dife w'a fè avèk moso poto Achera ou te koupe a.
27 Jedeyon pran dis nan domestik li yo, epi li fè tou sa Seyè a te di l' fè. Men, li te pè fanmi l' yo ak lòt moun yo ki rete nan lavil la. Li pa t' fè sa lajounen, l' al fè l' lannwit.
28 Lè mesye yo ki rete nan lavil la leve granmaten, yo wè lotèl Baal la kraze, poto Achera a koupe, epi dezyèm towo a menm boule sou lotèl yo te bati la a.
29 Yonn di lòt: Ki moun ki fè sa, en? Yo tonbe chache, yo t'ap mande moun ki jan sa fè fèt. Yo vin konnen se Jedeyon, pitit Joas la, ki te fè sa.
30 Mesye yo al di Joas konsa: -Fè pitit gason ou lan soti vin jwenn nou isit la. Se pou n' touye l'! Li kraze lotèl Baal la, epi li koupe gwo poto Achera ki te bò kote l' la.
31 Joas reponn tout moun ki te kanpe devan l' yo. Li di yo: -Anhan! Se nou ki pou goumen pou Baal? Se nou ki pou defann li? Enben, moun ki vle goumen pou Baal gen pou l' mouri anvan solèy leve. Si Baal se yon bondye vre, se li ki pou defann tèt li. Se lotèl li a yo kraze!
32 Depi jou sa a yo rele Jedeyon Jewoubaal paske Joas te di: Kite Baal koresponn ak li, paske se lotèl Baal la li te kraze.
33 ¶ Lè sa a, tout moun Madyan yo, tout moun Amalèk yo ak tout moun k'ap viv nan dezè a bò solèy leve yo mete tèt ansanm, yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, yo moute kan yo nan plenn Jizreyèl la.
34 Lespri Seyè a desann sou Jedeyon. Li soufle nan yon kòn belye mouton, li rele tout gason nan fanmi Abyezè a vin jwenn li.
35 Apre sa, li voye mesaje nan tout peyi Manase a al rele moun yo pou yo vin jwenn li tou. Li voye mesaje nan peyi Asè, nan peyi Zabilon ak nan peyi Neftali. Tout moun sa yo moute vin jwenn li.
36 Lè sa a, Jedeyon di Bondye konsa: -Si se ou menm vre ki vle sèvi avè m' pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la,
37 men mwen mete yon moso lenn sou glasi a. Si denmen maten mwen wè gen lawouze sou moso lenn lan sèlman epi tout rès glasi a chèch, lè sa a m'a konnen se ou menm vre ki pral sèvi avè m' pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la.
38 Se sa ki te rive vre. Nan denmen maten, lè Jedeyon leve byen bonè, li tòde moso lenn lan, li wete dlo ladan l' kont pou ta plen yon bòl.
39 Lèfini, Jedeyon di Bondye ankò: -Tanpri, pa fache sou mwen non! Kite m' di ou yon dènye bagay. Kite m' fè esperyans moso lenn lan yon lòt fwa ankò. Men, fwa sa a se pou moso lenn lan rete chèch, epi pou lawouze sou tout glasi a.
40 Jou lannwit sa a, Bondye fè sa konsa vre: moso lenn lan te rete byen chèch, men te gen lawouze sou tout glasi a.

Deborah
4 Again the Israelites did evil(A) in the eyes of the Lord,(B) now that Ehud(C) was dead. 2 So the Lord sold them(D) into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor.(E) Sisera,(F) the commander of his army, was based in Harosheth Haggoyim. 3 Because he had nine hundred chariots fitted with iron(G) and had cruelly oppressed(H) the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the Lord for help.
4 Now Deborah,(I) a prophet,(J) the wife of Lappidoth, was leading[a] Israel at that time. 5 She held court(K) under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah(L) and Bethel(M) in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided. 6 She sent for Barak son of Abinoam(N) from Kedesh(O) in Naphtali and said to him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali(P) and Zebulun(Q) and lead them up to Mount Tabor.(R) 7 I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s(S) army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River(T) and give him into your hands.(U)’”
8 Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.”
9 “Certainly I will go with you,” said Deborah. “But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman.” So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.(V) 10 There Barak summoned(W) Zebulun and Naphtali, and ten thousand men went up under his command. Deborah also went up with him.
11 Now Heber the Kenite had left the other Kenites,(X) the descendants of Hobab,(Y) Moses’ brother-in-law,[b] and pitched his tent by the great tree(Z) in Zaanannim(AA) near Kedesh.
12 When they told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,(AB) 13 Sisera summoned from Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River(AC) all his men and his nine hundred chariots fitted with iron.(AD)
14 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Go! This is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands.(AE) Has not the Lord gone ahead(AF) of you?” So Barak went down Mount Tabor, with ten thousand men following him. 15 At Barak’s advance, the Lord routed(AG) Sisera and all his chariots and army by the sword, and Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot.
16 Barak pursued the chariots and army as far as Harosheth Haggoyim, and all Sisera’s troops fell by the sword; not a man was left.(AH) 17 Sisera, meanwhile, fled on foot to the tent of Jael,(AI) the wife of Heber the Kenite,(AJ) because there was an alliance between Jabin king of Hazor(AK) and the family of Heber the Kenite.
18 Jael(AL) went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Come, my lord, come right in. Don’t be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19 “I’m thirsty,” he said. “Please give me some water.” She opened a skin of milk,(AM) gave him a drink, and covered him up.
20 “Stand in the doorway of the tent,” he told her. “If someone comes by and asks you, ‘Is anyone in there?’ say ‘No.’”
21 But Jael,(AN) Heber’s wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep,(AO) exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.(AP)
22 Just then Barak came by in pursuit of Sisera, and Jael(AQ) went out to meet him. “Come,” she said, “I will show you the man you’re looking for.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera with the tent peg through his temple—dead.(AR)
23 On that day God subdued(AS) Jabin(AT) king of Canaan before the Israelites. 24 And the hand of the Israelites pressed harder and harder against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.(AU)
The Song of Deborah
5 On that day Deborah(AV) and Barak son of Abinoam(AW) sang this song:(AX)
2 “When the princes in Israel take the lead,
when the people willingly offer(AY) themselves—
praise the Lord!(AZ)
3 “Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers!
I, even I, will sing to[c] the Lord;(BA)
I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song.(BB)
4 “When you, Lord, went out(BC) from Seir,(BD)
when you marched from the land of Edom,
the earth shook,(BE) the heavens poured,
the clouds poured down water.(BF)
5 The mountains quaked(BG) before the Lord, the One of Sinai,
before the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 “In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,(BH)
in the days of Jael,(BI) the highways(BJ) were abandoned;
travelers took to winding paths.(BK)
7 Villagers in Israel would not fight;
they held back until I, Deborah,(BL) arose,
until I arose, a mother in Israel.
8 God chose new leaders(BM)
when war came to the city gates,(BN)
but not a shield or spear(BO) was seen
among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is with Israel’s princes,
with the willing volunteers(BP) among the people.
Praise the Lord!
10 “You who ride on white donkeys,(BQ)
sitting on your saddle blankets,
and you who walk along the road,
consider 11 the voice of the singers[d] at the watering places.
They recite the victories(BR) of the Lord,
the victories of his villagers in Israel.
“Then the people of the Lord
went down to the city gates.(BS)
12 ‘Wake up,(BT) wake up, Deborah!(BU)
Wake up, wake up, break out in song!
Arise, Barak!(BV)
Take captive your captives,(BW) son of Abinoam.’
13 “The remnant of the nobles came down;
the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty.
14 Some came from Ephraim,(BX) whose roots were in Amalek;(BY)
Benjamin(BZ) was with the people who followed you.
From Makir(CA) captains came down,
from Zebulun those who bear a commander’s[e] staff.
15 The princes of Issachar(CB) were with Deborah;(CC)
yes, Issachar was with Barak,(CD)
sent under his command into the valley.
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
16 Why did you stay among the sheep pens[f](CE)
to hear the whistling for the flocks?(CF)
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
17 Gilead(CG) stayed beyond the Jordan.
And Dan, why did he linger by the ships?
Asher(CH) remained on the coast(CI)
and stayed in his coves.
18 The people of Zebulun(CJ) risked their very lives;
so did Naphtali(CK) on the terraced fields.(CL)
19 “Kings came(CM), they fought,
the kings of Canaan fought.
At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo,(CN)
they took no plunder of silver.(CO)
20 From the heavens(CP) the stars fought,
from their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 The river Kishon(CQ) swept them away,
the age-old river, the river Kishon.
March on, my soul; be strong!(CR)
22 Then thundered the horses’ hooves—
galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.(CS)
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord.
‘Curse its people bitterly,
because they did not come to help the Lord,
to help the Lord against the mighty.’
24 “Most blessed of women(CT) be Jael,(CU)
the wife of Heber the Kenite,(CV)
most blessed of tent-dwelling women.
25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk;(CW)
in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk.
26 Her hand reached for the tent peg,
her right hand for the workman’s hammer.
She struck Sisera, she crushed his head,
she shattered and pierced his temple.(CX)
27 At her feet he sank,
he fell; there he lay.
At her feet he sank, he fell;
where he sank, there he fell—dead(CY).
28 “Through the window(CZ) peered Sisera’s mother;
behind the lattice she cried out,(DA)
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?’
29 The wisest of her ladies answer her;
indeed, she keeps saying to herself,
30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoils:(DB)
a woman or two for each man,
colorful garments as plunder for Sisera,
colorful garments embroidered,
highly embroidered garments(DC) for my neck—
all this as plunder?(DD)’
31 “So may all your enemies perish,(DE) Lord!
But may all who love you be like the sun(DF)
when it rises in its strength.”(DG)
Then the land had peace(DH) forty years.
Gideon
6 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord,(DI) and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites.(DJ) 2 Because the power of Midian was so oppressive,(DK) the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in mountain clefts, caves(DL) and strongholds.(DM) 3 Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites(DN) and other eastern peoples(DO) invaded the country. 4 They camped on the land and ruined the crops(DP) all the way to Gaza(DQ) and did not spare a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor cattle nor donkeys. 5 They came up with their livestock and their tents like swarms of locusts.(DR) It was impossible to count them or their camels;(DS) they invaded the land to ravage it. 6 Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out(DT) to the Lord for help.
7 When the Israelites cried out(DU) to the Lord because of Midian, 8 he sent them a prophet,(DV) who said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt,(DW) out of the land of slavery.(DX) 9 I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians. And I delivered you from the hand of all your oppressors;(DY) I drove them out before you and gave you their land.(DZ) 10 I said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God; do not worship(EA) the gods of the Amorites,(EB) in whose land you live.’ But you have not listened to me.”
11 The angel of the Lord(EC) came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah(ED) that belonged to Joash(EE) the Abiezrite,(EF) where his son Gideon(EG) was threshing(EH) wheat in a winepress(EI) to keep it from the Midianites. 12 When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you,(EJ) mighty warrior.(EK)”
13 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders(EL) that our ancestors told(EM) us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned(EN) us and given us into the hand of Midian.”
14 The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have(EO) and save(EP) Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?”
15 “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan(EQ) is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.(ER)”
16 The Lord answered, “I will be with you(ES), and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.”
17 Gideon replied, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign(ET) that it is really you talking to me. 18 Please do not go away until I come back and bring my offering and set it before you.”
And the Lord said, “I will wait until you return.”
19 Gideon went inside, prepared a young goat,(EU) and from an ephah[g](EV) of flour he made bread without yeast. Putting the meat in a basket and its broth in a pot, he brought them out and offered them to him under the oak.(EW)
20 The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread, place them on this rock,(EX) and pour out the broth.” And Gideon did so. 21 Then the angel of the Lord touched the meat and the unleavened bread(EY) with the tip of the staff(EZ) that was in his hand. Fire flared from the rock, consuming the meat and the bread. And the angel of the Lord disappeared. 22 When Gideon realized(FA) that it was the angel of the Lord, he exclaimed, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face!”(FB)
23 But the Lord said to him, “Peace! Do not be afraid.(FC) You are not going to die.”(FD)
24 So Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called(FE) it The Lord Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah(FF) of the Abiezrites.
25 That same night the Lord said to him, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old.[h] Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole[i](FG) beside it. 26 Then build a proper kind of[j] altar to the Lord your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second[k] bull as a burnt offering.(FH)”
27 So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord told him. But because he was afraid of his family and the townspeople, he did it at night rather than in the daytime.
28 In the morning when the people of the town got up, there was Baal’s altar,(FI) demolished, with the Asherah pole beside it cut down and the second bull sacrificed on the newly built altar!
29 They asked each other, “Who did this?”
When they carefully investigated, they were told, “Gideon son of Joash(FJ) did it.”
30 The people of the town demanded of Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has broken down Baal’s altar(FK) and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
31 But Joash replied to the hostile crowd around him, “Are you going to plead Baal’s cause?(FL) Are you trying to save him? Whoever fights for him shall be put to death by morning! If Baal really is a god, he can defend himself when someone breaks down his altar.” 32 So because Gideon broke down Baal’s altar, they gave him the name Jerub-Baal[l](FM) that day, saying, “Let Baal contend with him.”
33 Now all the Midianites, Amalekites(FN) and other eastern peoples(FO) joined forces and crossed over the Jordan and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.(FP) 34 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on(FQ) Gideon, and he blew a trumpet,(FR) summoning the Abiezrites(FS) to follow him. 35 He sent messengers throughout Manasseh, calling them to arms, and also into Asher,(FT) Zebulun and Naphtali,(FU) so that they too went up to meet them.(FV)
36 Gideon said to God, “If you will save(FW) Israel by my hand as you have promised— 37 look, I will place a wool fleece(FX) on the threshing floor.(FY) If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know(FZ) that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said.” 38 And that is what happened. Gideon rose early the next day; he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.
39 Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request.(GA) Allow me one more test with the fleece, but this time make the fleece dry and let the ground be covered with dew.” 40 That night God did so. Only the fleece was dry; all the ground was covered with dew.(GB)

Lik 4:31-44
Haitian Creole Version
31 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi desann Kapènawòm, yon vil nan peyi Galile. Jou repo a, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay.
32 Yo te sezi tande sa l' t'ap moutre yo, paske li t'ap pale tankou moun ki gen dwa di sa l'ap di a.
33 Te gen yon nonm nan sinagòg la ki te gen yon move lespri sou li. Li pran rele byen fò:
34 Ey, kisa nou gen avè ou, Jezi, nonm Nazarèt? Ou vin isit la pou detwi nou? Mwen konnen byen ki moun ou ye; ou se moun Bondye chwazi a.
35 Jezi pale byen fò ak move lespri a, li di li: Pe la! Soti sou nonm lan. Move lespri a jete nonm lan atè nan mitan tout moun yo epi li soti, li ale san l' pa fè l' ankenn mal.
36 Tout moun te sezi, yonn t'ap di lòt: Ki pawòl sa a ye menm? Avèk otorite ak pouvwa li pase move lespri yo lòd sevè epi yo soti, y' ale.
37 Se tout moun ki t'ap nonmen non l' nan tout peyi a.
38 Jezi soti, li kite sinagòg la, li ale lakay Simon. Bèlmè Simon an te gen yon gwo lafyèb cho sou li. Yo mande Jezi pou l' fè kichòy pou li.
39 Li panche sou malad la, li pase lafyèb la yon lòd. Lamenm, lafyèb la kite li. Menm lè a, madanm lan leve, li resevwa yo.
40 Apre solèy te fin kouche, yo mennen tout moun malad ak tout moun ki t'ap soufri divès maladi bay Jezi. Li mete men l' sou tèt yo tout, li geri yo.
41 Anpil move lespri tou te soti sou plizyè moun malad. Yo t'ap plede rele: Ou se pitit Bondye a. Men, Jezi te pale sevè ak yo, li pa t' kite yo pale paske yo te konnen se Kris la li ye.
42 Kou l' fè jou, Jezi soti, li ale yon kote ki pa gen moun. Yon foul moun t'ap chache li. Konsa, yo rive jouk kote li te ye a. Yo te vle kenbe l' pou l' pa t' kite yo.
43 Men li di yo: Fòk m' anonse bon nouvèl gouvènman Bondye ki Wa a bay moun lòt lavil yo tou, paske se pou sa Bondye voye mwen.
44 Se konsa, li t'ap mache bay mesaj la nan sinagòg Jide yo.

New International Version
Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(A)
31 Then he went down to Capernaum,(B) a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. 32 They were amazed at his teaching,(C) because his words had authority.(D)
33 In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out at the top of his voice, 34 “Go away! What do you want with us,(E) Jesus of Nazareth?(F) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are(G)—the Holy One of God!”(H)
35 “Be quiet!” Jesus said sternly.(I) “Come out of him!” Then the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without injuring him.
36 All the people were amazed(J) and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority(K) and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” 37 And the news about him spread throughout the surrounding area.(L)
Jesus Heals Many(M)(N)
38 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So he bent over her and rebuked(O) the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one,(P) he healed them.(Q) 41 Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!”(R) But he rebuked(S) them and would not allow them to speak,(T) because they knew he was the Messiah.
42 At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. 43 But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God(U) to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” 44 And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.(V)
