< Joshua 10 >

1 Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction —doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
Adonisedèk, wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, te vin konnen Jozye te pran lavil Ayi a, li te detwi l' nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, li te touye wa a menm jan li te fè l' pou lavil Jeriko ansanm ak wa li a. Adonisedèk te vin pran nouvèl tou moun Gabawon yo te al rann tèt yo bay moun Izrayèl yo, epi yo t'ap viv nan mitan yo.
2 So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly alarmed, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
Tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo te pè anpil, paske Gabawon te yon gwo lavil, tankou nenpòt ki lavil ki te gen yon wa ap gouvènen li. Li te pi gwo pase lavil Ayi. Lèfini, tout gason la te vanyan sòlda.
3 Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Se konsa, Adonisedèk, wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, voye misyon bay Oram, wa lavil Ebwon, bay Pireyam, wa lavil Jamout, bay Jafya, wa lavil Lakis, ak bay Debi, wa lavil Eglon.
4 “Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
Li voye di yo. -Vin jwenn mwen. Vin ede m' atake lavil Gabawon, paske moun sa yo al rann tèt yo bay Jozye ak pèp Izrayèl la.
5 So the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
Se konsa senk wa moun Amori yo: wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, wa lavil Ebwon an, wa lavil Jamout la, wa lavil Lakis la, wa lavil Eglon an, mete tèt ansanm, yo fè yon sèl lame ak tout sòlda yo. Yo sènen lavil Gabawon, yo atake l'.
6 Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
Moun lavil Gabawon yo voye mesaje nan kan Gilgal la di Jozye konsa: -Mèt, tanpri, pa lage nou! Prese vin jwenn nou pou ede nou, pou delivre nou. Paske tout wa moun Amori ki rete nan mòn yo mete tèt ansanm, yo leve dèyè nou pou yo fini ak nou.
7 So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
Se konsa, Jozye ak tout lame a ansanm ak tout vanyan sòlda li yo kite Gilgal, yo leve yo pati.
8 The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè yo. M'ap lage yo tout nan men ou. Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki ka kenbe tèt avè ou.
9 After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
Lè Jozye kite Gilgal, li pase tout nwit lan ap mache. Li rive sou moun Amori yo san yo pa t' atann.
10 And the LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the ascent to Beth-horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
Seyè a fè moun Amori yo pran kouri lè yo wè moun Izrayèl yo. Li fè pèp Izrayèl la bat yo byen bat lòt bò lavil Gabawon an. Moun Izrayèl yo kouri desann dèyè yo nan pant Bètowon an, yo bat yo jouk Azeka ak Makeda nan sid la.
11 As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
Pandan yo t'ap kouri devan lame Izrayèl la, depi nan desann pant Bètowon an jouk yo rive Azeka, Seyè a rete nan syèl la, li voye gwo boul lagrèl sou yo pou touye yo. Lagrèl la te touye plis moun pase lame Izrayèl la avèk nepe yo.
12 On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
Jou Seyè a te lage moun Amori yo nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo, Jozye pale ak Seyè a devan tout pèp la, li di: -Solèy! Rete klere sou lavil Gabawon! Lalin! Rete klere sou Pon Ayalon!
13 So the sun stood still and the moon stopped until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
Solèy la rete kote l' te ye a, lalin lan pa fè yon pa jouk pèp Izrayèl la te fin kraze lènmi l' yo. Se sa nou jwenn ekri nan liv Moun ki mache dwat la. Solèy la rete nan mitan syèl la san li pa mache yon bon tan, longè yon jounen konsa. Se apre sa l' al kouche.
14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man, because the LORD fought for Israel.
Ni anvan sa, ni apre sa, pa janm gen yon jou tankou jou sa a lè Seyè a te fè sa yon moun te mande l' fè, epi li goumen pou pèp Izrayèl la.
15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
Apre sa, Jozye ak tout lame Izrayèl la tounen nan kan yo Gilgal.
16 Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
Men, senk wa yo te kouri chape, y' al kache nan gwòt Makeda a.
17 And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
Y' al di Jozye yo jwenn senk wa yo kache nan gwòt Makeda a.
18 So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
Jozye reponn: -Woule wòch bouche bouch gwòt la. Mete moun veye yo.
19 But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
Men, nou menm, souke kò nou. Kouri dèyè lènmi yo. Atake yo pa dèyè. Pa kite yo gen tan rive nan lavil yo! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, lage yo nan men nou.
20 So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
Jozye ak sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap masakre yo: sa ki te chape yo kouri al kache nan lavil ki gen gwo ranpa yo.
21 The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
Lè sa a, tout lame Jozye a tounen vin jwenn li nan kan Makeda a san pwoblèm, san danje. Pesonn pa t' penmèt yo di anyen sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
Lè sa a, Jozye di: -Degaje bouch gwòt la. Mennen senk wa yo deyò vin jwenn mwen.
23 So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Yo degaje bouch gwòt la, yo mennen senk wa yo deyò vin jwenn li. Se te wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, wa lavil Ebwon an, wa lavil Jamout la, wa lavil Lakis la ak wa lavil Eglon an.
24 When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
Lè yo mennen wa yo ba li, Jozye rele tout gason nan pèp Izrayèl la, epi li di chèf ki te avè l' yo: -Vini non! Mete pye nou sou kou wa sa yo! Yo pwoche vre, yo mete pye yo sou kou wa yo.
25 “Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
Epi Jozye di yo: -Nou pa bezwen tranble! Nou pa bezwen pè! Mete gason sou nou! Pa janm dekouraje paske Seyè a pral fè nou mete pye nou sou kou tout lènmi n'a jwenn sou wout nou!
26 After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
Apre sa, Jozye touye wa yo epi li fè pann kadav yo sou senk pyebwa kote yo rete pandye jouk aswè.
27 At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
Lè solèy fin kouche, Jozye bay lòd pou yo desann kadav yo, epi pou yo voye yo jete nan gwòt kote yo te kache a. Apre sa, yo pran gwo wòch yo bouche bouch gwòt la. Wòch yo la jouk jòdi a.
28 On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Menm jou sa a, Jozye atake lavil Makeda, epi li pran l'. Li touye wa a. Lèfini, li fè touye tout moun ak tout bèt ki te nan lavil la tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, san li pa kite anyen chape. Li fè wa Makeda a menm sa li te fè wa Jeriko a.
29 Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite Makeda, y' al atake lavil Libna.
30 And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Seyè a lage lavil la ansanm ak tout wa a nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te nan lavil la san yo pa kite anyen chape. Li fè wa a menm sa li fè wa Jeriko a.
31 And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite Libna, y' al atake Lakis. Yo sènen lavil la nèt.
32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
Seyè a lage lavil Lakis nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Sou dezyèm jou a, yo pran lavil la. Li fè yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te nan lavil la, menm jan yo te fè l' nan lavil Libna a, san li pa kite yonn chape.
33 At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
Lè sa a Oram, wa peyi Gezè a, moute vin pote moun Lakis yo sekou. Men, Jozye bat li byen bat ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo. Li fè touye yo tout san li pa kite yonn chape.
34 So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite lavil Lakis, y' al atake lavil Eglon. Yo sènen l' nèt.
35 That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
Menm jou a, yo pran lavil la, yo touye tout moun ladan l'. Wi, jou sa a, tankou yon ofrann y'ap fè pou Seyè a, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki t'ap viv la, menm jan yo te fè l' nan lavil Lakis la.
36 Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak lame Izrayèl la kite lavil Eglon, yo moute al atake Ebwon.
37 They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
Yo pran lavil la, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te rete la ansanm ak tou sa ki te rete nan ti bouk nan zòn lan. Li pa kite yon moun chape, menm jan li te fè l' lavil Eglon an. Li fè touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a.
38 Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
Apre sa ankò, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la vire sou lavil Debi, y' al atake l'.
39 And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
Yo pran lavil la ansanm ak wa a ak tout lòt ti bouk nan zòn lan. Jozye fè touye tout moun ak tout bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Li pa kite yonn chape. Menm sa li te fè moun lavil Ebwon yo, menm sa li te fè moun lavil Libna yo ak wa yo a, se sa Jozye fè lavil Debi ak wa li a tou.
40 So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
Se konsa Jozye te fè tout peyi a soumèt devan li. Li te kraze tout wa yo, kit sa ki t'ap gouvènen nan mòn yo ak nan Negèv la, kit sa ki t'ap gouvènen nan plenn yo ak sou ti mòn yo. Li pa kite yon moun chape. Li touye dènye moun, dènye bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, jan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te ba li lòd fè a.
41 Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
Jozye bat yo depi Kadès-Banea sou bò sid rivyè Gaza, bò rivaj la, nan tout zòn Gochenn lan jouk Gabawon sou bò nò.
42 And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
Jozye te pran tout wa sa yo ak tout peyi yo nan yon sèl soti, paske Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, t'ap goumen pou pèp la.
43 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
Lèfini, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la tounen nan kan yo Gilgal.
