Judges 1
1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of the LORD, “Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?”
Apre Jozye mouri, pèp Izrayèl la mande Seyè a: -Nan tout branch fanmi nou yo, kilès ladan yo ki pou al atake moun Kanaran yo anvan?
2 “Judah shall go up,” answered the LORD. “Indeed, I have delivered the land into their hands.”
Seyè a reponn yo: -Se branch fanmi Jida a ki pou premye ale. Se mwen menm k'ap lage tout peyi a nan men yo.
3 Then the men of Judah said to their brothers the Simeonites, “Come up with us to our allotted territory, and let us fight against the Canaanites. And we likewise will go with you to your territory.” So the Simeonites went with them.
Moun Jida yo di moun Simeyon yo konsa: -Ann al ansanm ak nou nan pòsyon tè yo ban nou an, nou menm moun Jida yo. Enpi n'a mete ansanm pou goumen ak moun Kanaran yo. Apre sa, nou menm moun Jida yo, n'a ale ansanm ak nou nan pòsyon tè yo ban nou an, nou menm moun Simeyon yo. Se konsa, moun Simeyon yo ale ansanm ak
4 When Judah attacked, the LORD delivered the Canaanites and Perizzites into their hands, and they struck down ten thousand men at Bezek.
moun Jida yo, yo moute al goumen. Seyè a lage moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo nan men yo. Yo bat yon lame dimil (10.000) sòlda nan lavil Bezèk.
5 And there they found Adoni-bezek and fought against him, striking down the Canaanites and Perizzites.
Yo jwenn Adonibezèk l'a tou. Yo goumen avè l'. Yo bat moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo byen bat.
6 As Adoni-bezek fled, they pursued him, seized him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
Adonibezèk te kouri pou yo. Yo kouri dèyè l', yo mete men sou li, epi yo koupe de dwèt gwopous li yo ak de gwo tèt zòtèy pye l' yo.
7 Then Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have gathered the scraps under my table. As I have done to them, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, where he died.
Lè sa a, Adonibezèk di: -Mwen te koupe dwèt gwopous ak gwo tèt zòtèy pye swasanndis wa. Yo te konn ranmase kras manje ki tonbe anba tab mwen. Jòdi a, Bondye fè m' sa m' te fè yo a. Yo mennen msye lavil Jerizalèm. Se la li mouri.
8 Then the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They put the city to the sword and set it on fire.
Moun fanmi Jida yo al atake lavil Jerizalèm, epi yo pran l'. Yo touye dènye moun ki te rete la, lèfini yo mete dife ladan l'.
9 Afterward, the men of Judah marched down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills.
Apre sa, y' al goumen ak moun Kanaran ki t'ap viv nan mòn yo ak nan pye mòn yo nan Negèv la.
10 Judah also marched against the Canaanites who were living in Hebron (formerly known as Kiriath-arba), and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Moun Jida yo atake moun Kanaran ki te rete lavil Ebwon, ki te rele anvan sa Kiriyat Aba. Yo bat Chechayi, Ayiman ak Talmayi.
11 From there they marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).
Yo kite Ebwon, yo mache al atake moun ki te rete lavil Debi yo. Nan tan lontan yo te rete lavil sa a Kiriyat-Sefè.
12 And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”
Kalèb di: -Moun ki va resi pran lavil Kiriyat-Sefè a, m'ap marye l' ak Aksa, pitit fi mwen an.
13 So Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
Se Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz, ti frè Kalèb la, ki te pran lavil la. Konsa, Kalèb ba li Aksa, pitit fi li a, pou madanm.
14 One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you desire?”
Lè Aksa rive lakay mari l', mari a di l' poukisa li pa mande papa l' yon bon jaden. Akza al jwenn Kalèb. Desann li desann bourik li, Kalèb mande l': -Sak genyen, pitit mwen?
15 “Give me a blessing,” she answered. “Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
Akza reponn: -Mwen vin mande ou yon favè. Se ou menm ki voye m' al viv nan dezè Negèv la, se pou ou ban m' kote pou m' pran dlo tou. Se konsa Kalèb ba li Sous Dlo Anwo ak Sous Dlo Anba Negèv la.
16 Now the descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went up with the men of Judah from the City of Palms to the Wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad. They went to live among the people.
Moun Kayen yo, fanmi bòpè Moyiz la, kite lavil Palmis. Yo moute ansanm ak moun Jida yo nan dezè peyi Jida a sou bò sid lavil Arad. Se la y' al rete ansanm ak moun Amalèk yo.
17 Then the men of Judah went with their brothers the Simeonites, attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and devoted the city to destruction. So it was called Hormah.
Moun Jida yo ale ansanm ak moun Simeyon yo, yo bat moun Kanaran ki te rete lavil Zefa yo. Yo detwi lavil la, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te ladan l'. Yo boule yo tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Yo chanje non lavil la, yo rele l' Oma.
18 And Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron—each with its territory.
Moun Jida yo pa t' pran lavil Gaza ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li, lavil Askalon ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li, lavil Ekwon ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li.
19 The LORD was with Judah, and they took possession of the hill country; but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the plains because they had chariots of iron.
Seyè a te kanpe ak moun Jida yo, li fè yo pran tout mòn yo pou yo. Men, yo pa t' kapab mete moun ki nan laplenn yo deyò paske yo te gen cha lagè fèt an fè.
20 Just as Moses had promised, Judah gave Hebron to Caleb, who drove out the descendants of the three sons of Anak.
Jan Moyiz te bay lòd la, yo pran lavil Ebwon bay Kalèb. Kalèb mete twa pitit gason Anak yo deyò nan lavil la.
21 The Benjamites, however, failed to drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the Benjamites.
Men, moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo pa t' mete moun Jebis yo deyò nan lavil Jerizalèm. Se konsa moun Jebis yo rete ap viv ansanm ak moun Benjamen yo nan lavil Jerizalèm jouk jòdi a.
22 The house of Joseph also attacked Bethel, and the LORD was with them.
Moun de branch fanmi Jozèf yo moute al atake lavil Betèl ki te rele Louz anvan sa. Seyè a te kanpe avèk yo tou.
23 They sent spies to Bethel (formerly known as Luz),
Yo voye kèk moun an kachèt al wè jan sa ye nan lavil la.
24 and when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us how to get into the city, and we will treat you kindly.”
Moun yo te voye yo kontre yon nonm ki t'ap soti lavil la. Yo di l' konsa: -Moutre nou ki jan moun ka antre nan lavil la. Nou pwomèt ou nou p'ap fè ou anyen.
25 So the man showed them the entrance to the city, and they put the city to the sword but released that man and all his family.
Se konsa nonm lan moutre yo ki jan pou yo antre nan lavil la. Yo touye tout moun ki te nan lavil la, esepte nonm lan ansanm ak tout fanmi l'.
26 And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
Apre sa, nonm lan pati ale nan peyi moun Et yo. Li bati yon lavil laba a, li rele l' Louz. Se konsa yo rele lavil la jouk jòdi a.
27 At that time Manasseh failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, and their villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.
Moun branch fanmi Manase yo pa t' rive mete tout moun deyò nan lavil Bèt Chean, nan lavil Tanak, nan lavil Dò, nan lavil Jibleyam, nan lavil Megibo ak nan tout ti bouk ki te sou kont yo. Konsa, moun Kanaran yo te toujou ap viv nan peyi a.
28 When Israel became stronger, they pressed the Canaanites into forced labor, but they never drove them out completely.
Lè moun Izrayèl yo te vin pi fò, yo fòse moun Kanaran yo travay pou yo, men, yo pa janm mete yo deyò.
29 Ephraim also failed to drive out the Canaanites living in Gezer; so the Canaanites continued to dwell among them in Gezer.
Moun branch fanmi Efrayim yo tou pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Gezè. Se konsa, moun Kanaran yo rete viv la ansanm ak yo.
30 Zebulun failed to drive out the inhabitants of Kitron and Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and served as forced laborers.
Moun branch fanmi Zabilon yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Kitwon ak nan lavil Naalòl. Moun Kanaran yo te rete viv ansanm ak yo, men yo te blije travay pou moun Zabilon yo.
31 Asher failed to drive out the inhabitants of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob.
Moun branch fanmi Asè yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Sidon, lavil Alad, lavil Akzid, lavil Elba, lavil Afik ak lavil Reyòb.
32 So the Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, because they did not drive them out.
Se konsa, moun Asè yo t'ap viv ansanm ak moun Kanaran ki te rete nan peyi a, paske yo pa t' mete yo deyò.
33 Naphtali failed to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the Naphtalites also lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, but the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath served them as forced laborers.
Moun branch fanmi Nèftali yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Bèt-Chemèch, ni nan lavil Bèt Anat. Yo te rete ansanm ak moun Kanaran ki te rete nan peyi a. Men, moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch ak moun lavil Bèt anat yo te blije travay pou yo.
34 The Amorites forced the Danites into the hill country and did not allow them to come down into the plain.
Moun Amori yo menm te kwense moun fanmi Dann yo nan mòn yo. Yo pa t' kite yo desann nan plenn lan menm.
35 And the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim. But when the house of Joseph grew in strength, they pressed the Amorites into forced labor.
Se konsa, moun Amori yo rete rete yo nan mòn Erès, nan lavil Ayalon ak nan lavil Chalbim. Men, lè moun fanmi Jozèf yo rive donminen sou yo, yo fè yo travay pou yo.
36 And the border of the Amorites extended from the Ascent of Akrabbim to Sela and beyond.
Fwontyè peyi moun Amori yo te konmanse depi pas Eskòpyon yo, moute rive gwo Wòch.
