Deuteronomy 2
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as Jehovah spoke to me. And we encompassed mount Seir many days.
“Epi nou te vire pati vè dezè a pa chemen Lamè Wouj la, jan SENYÈ a te pale mwen an, e nou te ansèkle Mòn Séir pandan anpil jou.
2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
“Epi SENYÈ a te pale avèk mwen. Li te di:
3 Ye have encompassed this mountain long enough, turn northward.
‘Nou gen tan fin ansèkle mòn sa a pandan ase de tan. Vire bò kote nò a.
4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the border of your brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you. Take ye good heed to yourselves therefore.
Kòmande pèp la e di yo: “Nou va pase nan teritwa frè nou yo, fis a Ésaü yo ki rete Séir, eyo va pè nou. Pou sa, fè atansyon.
5 Do not contend with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Pa bourade yo, paske Mwen p ap bannou okenn nan tè pa yo, menm yon ti mòso, paske Mwen te bay Ésaü Mòn Séir pou posede l.
6 Ye shall purchase food from them for money, that ye may eat, and ye shall also buy water from them for money, that ye may drink.
Nou va achte manje nan men yo avèk lajan pou nou kapab manje. Epi nou va, osi, achte dlo pou bwè nan men yo avèk lajan nou.”’”
7 For Jehovah thy God has blessed thee in all the work of thy hand. He has known thy walking through this great wilderness. These forty years Jehovah thy God has been with thee; thou have lacked nothing.
“Paske SENYÈ a te beni nou nan tout sa nou te fè. Li te konnen tout vwayaj nou yo nan gran dezè sila a. Pandan karantan sa yo, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te avèk nou. Nou pa t manke anyen.”
8 So we passed by from our brothers the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion-geber. And we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
“Pou sa, nou te pase devan kite frè nou yo, fis a Esaü ki rete Séir yo, lwen wout Araba a, lwen Élath ak Etsjon-Guéber. Konsa, nou te vire pase nan chemen dezè Moab la.
9 And Jehovah said to me, Do not vex Moab, neither contend with them in battle, for I will not give thee of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the sons of Lot for a possession.
“Alò, SENYÈ a te di mwen, ‘Pa menase Moab, ni pa fè pwovokasyon lagè, paske Mwen p ap bannou okenn nan peyi pa yo pou posede. Paske Mwen te bay Ar a fis a Lot yo kòm posesyon.’
10 (The Emim dwelt in it formerly, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim.
“(Avan, se te pèp Émim ki te rete la; yon gwo pèp, gran an kantite, e wo menm jan ak Anakim (jeyan yo).
11 These also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim.
Tankou Anakim yo, yo konnen kòm Rephaïm; men Moabit yo, te rele yo Émim.
12 The Horites also dwelt in Seir formerly, but the sons of Esau succeeded them. And they destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, as Israel did to the land of his possession, which Jehovah gave to them.)
Otrefwa, se te Oriyen yo ki te rete Séir, men fis a Esaü yo te deplase yo, te detwi yo devan yo, e yo te vin rete nan plas yo, jis jan ke Israël te fè lè yo te vin posede peyi pa yo ke SENYÈ a te bay yo.)
13 Now rise up, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
“‘Koulye a, leve travèse ravin Zéred la, nou menm.’ Konsa, nou te travèse ravin Zéred la.
14 And the days in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we came over the brook Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah swore to them.
“Alò, tan ke nou te pran pou sòti Kadès-Barnéa pou vin travèse ravin Zéred la se te trann-tuit ane, jiskaske tout jenerasyon moun lagè yo te mouri soti anndan kan an, jan SENYÈ a te sèmante a yo menm nan.
15 Moreover the hand of Jehovah was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Anplis, men a SENYÈ a te kont yo, pou detwi yo soti anndan kan an jiskaske yo tout te mouri.
16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
“Epi li te vin rive ke lè tout moun lagè yo te fin mouri pami pèp la,
17 that Jehovah spoke to me, saying,
ke SENYÈ a te pale avè m e te di:
18 Thou are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab.
‘Jodi a, ou va travèse sou Ar, lizyè a Moab la.
19 And when thou come near opposite the sons of Ammon, do not vex them, nor contend with them, for I will not give thee of the land of the sons of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the sons of Lot for a possession.
Lè ou vin anfas fis Ammon yo, pa menase yo ni pwovoke yo, paske Mwen p ap bay ou okenn nan peyi ki pou fis Ammon yo kòm posesyon pa w, paske Mwen te bay li a fis a Lot yo kòm posesyon.’
20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim. Rephaim dwelt in it formerly, but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
“(Li rele osi peyi a, Rephaïm, akoz Rephaïm yo te viv la avan sa, men Amonit yo rele yo Zamzumminim,
21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim. But Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead,
yon pèp tèlman gran e anpil, wo tankou Anakim, men SENYÈ a te detwi yo devan yo. Epi yo te chase yo sòti pou te vin rete nan plas yo,
22 as he did for the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them. And they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day.
jis jan ke li te fè pou fis Esaü yo, ki te rete Séir, lè Li te detwi Oriyen yo soti devan yo; yo te chase yo e yo te vin rete nan plas yo menm jiska jodi a.
23 And the Avvim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
Epi Avyen ki te rete nan vil yo jis rive kote Gaza, Kaftorim yo ki te sòti nan Caphtor, te detwi yo, e te vin viv nan plas yo.)
24 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the valley of the Arnon. Behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
“Leve, pati, e pase nan vale Arnon an. Gade! Mwen te bay Sihon, Amoreyen an, wa a Hesbon avèk peyi pa l nan men nou. Kòmanse pran posesyon an e atake li pou fè lagè.
25 This day I will begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the peoples who are under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
Nan jou sila a, Mwen va kòmanse mete lakrent ak laperèz ou sou pèp toupatou anba syèl yo, ki, lè yo tande rapò a ou menm, yo va tranble e soufri nan laperèz akoz de ou.”
26 And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
“Konsa, Mwen te voye mesaje soti nan dezè a Kedémoth vè Sihon, wa Hesbon an avèk pawòl lapè. Mwen te di:
27 Let me pass through thy land. I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
‘Kite mwen pase nan peyi ou a, Mwen va vwayaje sèlman sou gran chemen an; mwen p ap vire akote ni adwat ni agoch.
28 Thou shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink. Only let me pass through on my feet,
Ou va vann mwen manje pou lajan pou m kab manje; epi ban mwen dlo pou lajan pou m kab bwè. Sèlman, kite mwen pase ladann a pye,
29 as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me, until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which Jehovah our God gives us.
jis jan ke fis a Esaü ki rete Séir yo ak Moabit ki rete Ar yo te fè pou mwen, jiskaske mwen travèse Jourdain an pou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an.’
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him, for Jehovah thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as at this day.
“Men Sihon, wa Hesbon an, pa t dakò kite nou pase nan peyi pa li a; paske SENYÈ a te fè lespri li rèd e kè li di, pou l ta kapab livre li nan men nou, jan ke li ye la jodi a.
31 And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before thee. Begin to possess, that thou may inherit his land.
“Senyè a te di mwen: ‘Ou wè, Mwen te deja kòmanse livre Sihon avèk peyi li a nan men ou. Kòmanse okipe ou, pou nou kapab genyen peyi li a.’
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
“Epi Sihon avèk tout pèp li a te parèt pou rankontre nou nan batay nan Jahats la.
33 And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us. And we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre li bannou, e nou te bat li avèk fis li yo ak tout pèp li a.
34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining.
Konsa, nou te pran an kaptif tout vil li yo nan tan sa a, e nou te konplètman detwi mesye yo, fanm yo, avèk pitit nan chak vil yo. Nou pa t menm kite youn vivan.
35 We only took the cattle for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
Se sèl bèt nou te pran kòm piyaj nou, ak piyaj a vil ke nou te pran an kaptif.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. Jehovah our God delivered up all before us.
“Soti nan Aroër ki nan arebò vale Arnon an, epi soti nan vil ki nan vale a, menm pou rive Galaad, pa t gen vil ki te twò wo pou nou. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre yo bannou tout.
37 Only to the land of the sons of Ammon thou did not come near, all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill-country, and wherever Jehovah our God forbad us.
Sèlman, nou pa t pwoche teritwa fis a Ammon yo, toupatou akote rivyè Jabbok la ak vil peyi mòn yo, ak nenpòt kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te enpeche nou antre.”
