Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in.
Alò, Jéricho te byen sere pa fis Israël yo. Pèsòn pa t sòti ni antre.
2 The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.
SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Gade, Mwen te livre Jéricho nan men ou, avèk wa li ak gèrye vanyan li yo.
3 All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days.
Mache antoure vil la avèk tout mesye lagè nou yo pou l tou ansèkle li yon fwa. Ou va fè sa pandan si jou.
4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
Anplis, sèt prèt va pote sèt twonpèt fèt ak kòn belye devan lach la. “Konsa, nan setyèm jou a, nou va mache antoure vil la sèt fwa e prèt yo va soufle twonpèt yo.
5 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.”
Li va vin rive ke lè yo fè yon gwo son avèk kòn belye a, lè nou tande son twonpèt la, tout pèp la va rele fò avèk yon gwo bri; epi miray vil la va tonbe plat e pèp la va monte, chak moun tou dwat.”
6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”
Konsa, Josué, fis la a Nun nan, te rele prèt yo. Li te di yo: “Pran lach akò a, e kite sèt prèt yo pote sèt twonpèt yo fèt avèk kòn belye yo devan lach SENYÈ a.”
7 They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”
Yo te di a pèp la: “Ale devan, mache antoure vil la e kite mesye ak zam yo ale devan lach SENYÈ a.”
8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.
Li te vin rive ke lè Josué te pale avèk pèp la, sèt prèt ki t ap pote sèt twonpèt a kòn belye yo devan SENYÈ a te avanse, e te soufle twonpèt yo, epi lach akò SENYÈ a te swiv yo.
9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Mesye avèk zam yo te ale devan prèt ki tap soufle twonpèt yo, epi gad aryè a te swiv lach la, pandan yo te kontinye ap soufle twonpèt yo.
10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”
Men Josué te kòmande pèp la e te di: “Nou pa pou rele, ni kite yo tande vwa nou menm. Ni pa kite yon mo sòti nan bouch nou, jis rive jou ke m di nou: ‘Rele fò!’ Alò, nan moman sa a, nou va rele fò!”
11 So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp.
Konsa, li te fè lach SENYÈ a antoure vil la ansèkle l yon fwa. Konsa, yo te rantre nan kan an, e yo te pase nwit lan la nan kan an.
12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.
Alò, Josué te leve granmmaten, e prèt yo te leve pran lach SENYÈ a.
13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went.
Sèt prèt ki te pote sèt twonpèt kòn belye yo devan lach SENYÈ a, te kontinye san rete e te soufle twonpèt yo. Mesye avèk zam yo te ale devan yo, e gad an aryè yo te swiv lach SENYÈ a, pandan yo te kontinye ap soufle twonpèt yo.
14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
Konsa, nan dezyèm jou a, yo te mache antoure vil la yon fwa e te retounen nan kan an. Yo te fè konsa pandan si jou.
15 On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times.
Alò, nan setyèm jou a, yo te leve bonè avan jou, e te mache antoure vil la menm jan an sèt fwa. Sèl nan jou sa a, yo te mache antoure vil la sèt fwa.
16 At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!
Nan setyèm fwa a, lè prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo, Josué te di a pèp la: “Rele fò!” Paske SENYÈ a gen tan bannou vil la.
17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
“Vil la va vin dedye anba ve, li menm avèk tout sa ki ladann se pou SENYÈ a. Sèl Rahab, pwostitiye a ak tout moun ki avè l nan kay la va viv, akoz li te kache mesaje ke nou te voye yo.
18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it.
“Men pou nou menm, sèlman kenbe tèt nou apa pou pa fè bagay sa yo ki anba ve pou detwi, pou nou pa anvi yo e pran kèk bagay ki anba ve a, pou fè kay Israël la vin modi pou gwo pwoblèm vin sou li.
19 But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD. They shall come into the LORD’s treasury.”
Men tout ajan avèk lò, zafè an bwonz ak fè, sen a SENYÈ a. Yo va antre nan trezò SENYÈ a.”
20 So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.
Alò, pèp la te rele fò, prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo. Lè pèp la te tande son twonpèt la, yo te rele fò avèk yon gwo kri, epi miray la te tonbe plat. Epi konsa, pèp la te antre nan vil la, tout mesye toudwat pou yo te pran vil la.
21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Yo te detwi tout bagay nan vil la nèt; ni gason, ni fanm, jèn kon granmoun, ni bèf, ni mouton, ni bourik, pa lam nepe.
22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.”
Josué te di a de mesye ki te fè espyonaj peyi yo: “Antre lakay pwostitiye a e mete fanm nan avèk tout sa li genyen deyò, jan nou te pwomèt li a.”
23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
Konsa, jennonm ki te espyon yo te antre. Yo te mennen Rahab deyò avèk papa l ak manman l, frè li yo avèk tout sa li te genyen. Anplis, yo te mete deyò tout fanmi li yo e te plase yo deyò kan Israël la.
24 They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
Yo te brile vil la avèk dife ak tout sa ki ladann. Sèlman ajan avèk lò avèk tout bagay ki te fèt an bwonz ak fè, yo te mete yo nan trezò kay SENYÈ a.
25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Sepandan, Rahab, pwostitiye a, avèk tout kay papa l ak tout sa li te genyen, Josué te konsève yo. Epi li te viv nan mitan Israël jis rive jodi a, paske li te kache mesaje ke Josué te voye pou fè espyonaj Jéricho yo.
26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.”
Konsa, Josué te pase lòd sèman an nan lè sa a. Li te di: “Modi devan SENYÈ a se sila ki leve pou rebati vil sa a, Jéricho. Avèk pèt premye ne li yo, li va poze fondasyon li; avèk pèt denyè ne li yo, li va monte pòtay li yo.”
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
SENYÈ a te avèk Josué e li te vin byen rekonèt nan tout peyi a.
