Judges 1
1 After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”
Alò, li vin rive apre lanmò Josué ke fis Israël yo fè yon demann SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Kilès ki va premye pou vin monte pou nou kont Kananeyen yo pou goumen kont yo?”
2 The LORD said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
SENYÈ a te reponn: “Juda va monte. Veye byen, Mwen te mete peyi a nan men l.”
3 Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot.” So Simeon went with him.
Konsa, Juda te di a Siméon, frè li: “Vini avè m nan teren ki te vin tonbe pou mwen an, pou nou kapab goumen kont Kananeyen yo. Epi lè nou retounen, mwen va ale avè w nan teren pa w la.” Konsa Siméon te ale avèk li.
4 Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand. They struck ten thousand men in Bezek.
Juda te monte e SENYÈ a te livre Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo nan men yo. Yo te bat di-mil lòm Bézek.
5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him. They struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Yo te rankontre Adoni Bézek nan Bézek. Yo te goumen kont li, e yo te bat Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo.
6 But Adoni-Bezek fled. They pursued him, caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Men Adoni Bézek te sove ale. Yo te kouri dèyè li pou te kenbe li e yo te koupe pous li avèk gwo zòtèy li.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their big toes cut off, scavenged under my table. As I have done, so God has done to me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Adoni Bézek te di: “Swasann-dis wa avèk pous avèk gwo zòtèy koupe te konn ranmase manje anba tab mwen. Jan ke m te konn fè a, konsa Bondye te rekonpanse mwen.” Konsa, yo te mennen li Jérusalem e la, li te mouri.
8 The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, took it, struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Alò, fis Juda yo te goumen kont Jérusalem. Yo te kaptire li. Yo te frape li avèk lam nepe e yo te mete dife nan vil la.
9 After that, the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
Apre, fis a Juda yo te desann pou goumen kont Kananeyen ki te rete nan peyi ti kolin yo ak nan Negev la ak nan ba plèn nan.
10 Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron. (The name of Hebron before that was Kiriath Arba.) They struck Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Konsa, Juda te ale kont Kananeyen ki te rete Hébron yo (alò, non Hébron avan an se te Kirjath-Arba.) Yo te frape Schéschaï avèk Ahiman ak Talmaï.
11 From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)
Soti la, li te ale kont sila ki te rete Debir yo. (Alò, non Debir se te Kirjath-Sépher)
12 Caleb said, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.”
Epi Caleb te di: “Sila ki atake Kirjath-Sépher e ki kaptire li a; a li menm, mwen va bay fi mwen an, Acsa kòm madanm li.”
13 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it, so he gave him Achsah his daughter as his wife.
Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, pi jèn frè a Caleb la te kaptire li. Konsa, li te ba li fi li a kòm madanm.
14 When she came, she got him to ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
Epi li te vin rive ke lè Acsa te vin kote li, ke li te konvenk li mande papa li yon chan. Li te desann bourik li, e Caleb te di: “Kisa ou vle?”
15 She said to him, “Give me a blessing; because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Li te di li: “Beni mwen. Akoz ou te ban mwen peyi nan Negev la, ban m sous dlo yo tou.” Konsa, Caleb te ba li sous piwo avèk sous piba yo.
16 The children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.
Desandan Kenyen yo, bòpè Moïse la, te monte soti nan vil pal yo avèk fis Juda yo. Yo soti nan dezè a Juda ki vè sid Arad la, epi yo te monte pou rete avèk pèp sila yo.
17 Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
Konsa, Juda te ale avèk Siméon, frè li a, e yo te frape Kananeyen ki te rete Tsephath yo. Yo te detwi li nèt. Konsa, non a vil la te rele Horma.
18 Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.
Anplis, Juda te pran Gaza avèk teritwa ki te pou li a, ak Askalon avèk teritwa pa li a, ak Ékron avèk teritwa pa li a.
19 The LORD was with Judah, and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Alò SENYÈ a te avèk Juda, e te chase met dèyo tout sa yo ki te viv nan peyi ti kolin yo. Men yo pa t ka chase mete deyò pèp ki te rete nan vale yo, akoz yo te gen cha yo ki te fèt an fè.
20 They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.
Alò, yo te bay Hébron a Caleb, jan Moïse te pwomèt yo a; epi li te chase fè sòti twa fis Anak yo.
21 The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem, but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
Men fis a Benjamin yo pa t chase mete Jebizyen ki te rete nan Jérusalem yo deyò. Pou sa, Jebizyen yo te rete pami fis Benjamin yo jis rive jodi a.
22 The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
Menm jan an, lakay Joseph te monte kont Béthel e SENYÈ a te avèk yo.
23 The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)
Lakay Joseph te fè espyonaj Béthel. Alò, vil sa, avan lè te rele Luz.
24 The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”
Espyon yo te wè yon nonm ki t ap sòti nan vil la. Yo te di li: “Souple, montre nou kote pou nou antre nan vil la, e nou va fè ou gras.”
25 He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.
Konsa, li te montre yo antre vil la e yo te frape vil la avèk lam nepe. Men yo te kite mesye sa a, ak tout fanmi li an libète.
26 The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
Mesye sila a te antre nan peyi Etyen yo. Li te bati yon vil e te ba li non Luz, epi se konsa li rele jis rive jodi a.
27 Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Men Manassé pa t pran posesyon Beth-Schean avèk bouk pa li yo, ni Thannac avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Dor yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Jibleam yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni moun ki te rete Meguiddo avèk bouk pa li yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te kontinye viv nan peyi sa a.
28 When Israel had grown strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
Li te vin rive ke lè Israël te vin fò, ke yo te fòse Kananeyen yo fè travo fòse, men yo pa t chase yo fè yo sòti nèt.
29 Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
Éphraïm pa t chase fè sòti Kananeyen ki t ap viv Guézer yo, men Kananeyen yo te viv Guézer pami yo.
30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.
Zabulon pa t chase fè sòti pèp ki te rete Kitron yo, ni pèp ki te rete Nahalol yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te rete pami yo e te vin sijè a travo fòse.
31 Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
Aser pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Acco yo, ni pèp a Sidon yo, ni sila a Achlal yo, ni a Heba, ni a Aczib, ni a Rehob yo.
32 but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, for they did not drive them out.
Konsa, Aserit yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a. Paske, yo pa t chase mete yo deyò.
33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.
Nephtali pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Beth-Schémesch yo, ni pèp a Beth-anath yo. Men yo te viv pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a, epi pèp peyi Beth-Schémesch avèk Beth-Anath yo te vin fè travo fòse pou yo.
34 The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
Konsa, Amoreyen yo te pouse fis a Dan yo antre nan peyi ti kolin yo, epi te anpeche yo antre nan vale a.
35 but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim. Yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labor.
Malgre sa, Amoreyen yo te pèsiste rete nan Mòn Hérès, nan Ajalon ak nan Schaalbim. Men lè pouvwa kay Joseph la te vin fò, yo te oblije fè travo fòse.
36 The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Lizyè a Amoreyen yo te kouri soti nan monte Akrabim nan, soti Séla pou monte piwo.
