Joshua 8
1 And the Lord said to Joshua, Fear not, nor be timorous: take with you all the men of war, and arise, go up to Gai; behold, I have given into your hands the king of Gai, and his land.
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou pa bezwen dekouraje. Pran tout sòlda yo avè ou, epi mache sou lavil Ayi. M'ap lage wa lavil la ansanm ak pèp la, lavil la ak tout zòn yo a nan men ou.
2 And you shall do to Gai, as you did to Jericho and its king; and you shall take to yourself the spoil of its cattle; set now for yourself an ambush for the city behind.
Menm sa ou te fè moun lavil Jeriko yo ak wa yo a, se sa ou pral fè moun lavil Ayi yo ak wa yo a. Men, fwa sa a, n'a gen dwa pran byen yo ak bèt yo pou nou. Fè sòlda yo al anbiske kò yo pou yo atake lavil la pa dèyè.
3 And Joshua and all the men of war rose to go up to Gai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men, and he sent them away by night.
Se konsa, Jozye reyini tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, li fè plan pou yo mache sou lavil Ayi. Jozye chwazi trantmil (30.000) vanyan gason, li fè yo pati devan nan mitan lannwit.
4 And he charged them, saying, Do you lie in ambush behind the city: do not go far from the city, and you shall all be ready.
Men lòd li ba yo: -Al anbiske kò nou lòt bò sou dèyè lavil la. Pa kache twò lwen non. Epi pare pou nou atake.
5 Land I and all with me will draw near to the city: and it shall come to pass when the inhabitants of Gai shall come forth to meet us, as before, that we will flee from before them.
Mwen menm, mwen pral pwoche bò lavil la avèk tout sòlda ki avè m' yo pa devan pòtay la. Lè n'a wè moun lavil yo soti vin fè fas kare ak nou, nou menm ki sou devan yo, n'a pran kouri devan yo ankò, jan nou te fè l' anvan an.
6 And when they shall come out after us, we will draw them away from the city; and they will say, These men flee from before us, as also before.
Yo menm menm yo pral kouri dèyè nou, jouk y'a kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè yo, paske yo pral konprann se tankou premye fwa a.
7 And you shall rise up out of the ambuscade, and go into the city.
Lè sa a, nou menm ki te kache sou dèyè a, n'a soti kote nou te anbiske kò nou an, n'a antre nan lavil la, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap lage lavil la nan men nou.
8 You shall do according to this word, behold! I have commanded you.
Lè n'a fin pran lavil la, n'a mete dife ladan l' jan Seyè a te mande l' la. Men lòd mwen ban nou.
9 And Joshua sent them, and they went to lie in ambush; and they lay between Baethel and Gai, westward of Gai.
Se konsa, Jozye voye yo ale. Y' al anbiske kò yo sou dèyè lavil la, sou bò solèy kouche, ant lavil Ayi ak lavil Betèl. Jozye menm rete pase lannwit lan nan kan an.
10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people; and he went up, he and the elders before the people to Gai.
Nan maten, bonè bonè, Jozye leve, li reyini tout lòt sòlda yo. Li pase yo enspeksyon. Apre sa, li pran direksyon lavil Ayi a pou li. Li t'ap mache alatèt lame a ansanm ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo.
11 And all the men of war went up with him, and they went forward and came over against the city eastward.
Sòlda ki te avè l' yo rive jouk anfas pòtay lavil la. Yo moute kan yo sou bò nò lavil Ayi a. Yo kite yon ti fon nan mitan yo ak lavil Ayi a.
12 And the ambuscade [was] on the west side of the city.
Jozye pran senkmil (5.000) sòlda, li fè yo al kache sou bò solèy kouche, ant lavil Ayi ak lavil Betèl.
Se konsa, pifò nan lame a moute kan yo sou bò nò lavil la, epi rès lame a al kache kò yo sou bò solèy kouche. Jou sa a, Jozye pase lannwit lan nan Fon an.
14 And it came to pass when the king of Gai saw [it], he hasted and went out to meet them direct to the battle, he and all the people [that were] with him: and he knew not that there was an ambuscade [formed] against him behind the city.
Lè wa lavil Ayi a wè sòlda Jozye yo, li menm ansanm ak tout gason nan lavil la, yo leve granmaten, yo prese pare yo. Yo soti al atake moun Izrayèl yo sou pant ki desann nan Fon Jouden an. Men, li pa t' konnen yo tapral atake l' sou dèyè.
15 And Joshua and Israel saw, and retreated from before them.
Jozye ak moun pa l' yo fè tankou y'ap kouri pou yo, yo lage kò yo nan dezè a.
16 And they pursued after the children of Israel, and they themselves went to a distance from the city.
Tout gason ki te nan lavil la t'ap kouri dèyè yo, yo t'ap rele byen fò. Se konsa, nan kouri dèyè Jozye a, yo kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè.
17 There was no one left in Gai who did not pursue after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
Pa t' gen yon gason nan lavil Ayi a, tout te kouri soti dèyè pèp Izrayèl la. Yo kite pòtay lavil la gran batan louvri san pesonn pou defann li.
18 And the Lord said to Joshua, Stretch forth your hand with the spear that is in your hand towards the city, for I have delivered it into your hands; and the liers in wait shall rise up quickly out of their place.
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Leve frenn ki nan men ou lan, lonje l' sou lavil Ayi a: mwen pral lage lavil la nan men ou. Jozye lonje frenn ki te nan men l' lan sou lavil la.
19 And Joshua stretched out his hand [and] his spear towards the city, and the ambuscade rose up quickly out of their place; and they came forth when he stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took it; and they hasted and burnt the city with fire.
Leve li leve men l', mesye ki te anbiske kò yo soti byen vit nan kachèt yo a, yo kouri antre nan lavil la, yo pran lavil la pou yo. Lamenm yo mete dife ladan l'.
20 And when the inhabitants of Gai looked round behind them, then they saw the smoke going up out of the city to heaven, and they were no longer able to flee this way or that way.
Lè mesye lavil Ayi yo vire tèt yo gade, yo wè yon gwo lafimen ki t'ap soti nan lavil la moute nan syèl, yo pa t' konn ki bò pou yo fè, paske lè sa a, sòlda pèp Izrayèl ki t'ap kouri nan direksyon dezè a te vire tounen sou yo.
21 And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambuscade had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up to heaven; and they turned and struck the men of Gai.
Lè Jozye ak tout moun li yo wè lòt sòlda ki te kache yo te pran lavil la, lè yo wè dife nan lavil la, yo vire tounen, yo atake moun lavil Ayi yo.
22 And these came forth out of the city to meet them; and they were in the midst of the army, some [being] on this side, and some on that; and they struck them until there was not left of them one who survived and escaped.
Lòt moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm soti nan lavil la, epi yo mache sou yo tou. Konsa moun lavil Ayi yo te sènen toupatou ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo touye mezi moun yo jwenn devan yo. Yo pa kite yonn vivan,
23 And they took the king of Gai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
esepte wa lavil Ayi a. Yo pran msye, yo mennen l' bay Jozye.
24 And when the children of Israel had ceased slaying all that were in Gai, and in the fields, and in the mountain on the descent, from whence they pursued them [even] to the end, then Joshua returned to Gai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.
Moun Izrayèl yo kouri dèyè lènmi yo nan tout mòn yo ak nan tout dezè a. Lè yo fin touye tout, yo tounen lavil Ayi, epi yo touye tout moun ki te ladan l'.
25 And they that fell in that day, men and women, were twelve thousand: [they killed] all the inhabitants of Gai.
Jou sa a, yo touye douzmil (12000) moun, fi kou gason, ki t'ap viv nan lavil Ayi a.
Jozye menm te kenbe bra l' leve anlè ak frenn lan lonje sou lavil Ayi a jouk yo te fin touye tout moun ki te rete nan lavil la tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a.
27 Beside the spoils that were in the city, all things which the children of Israel took as spoil for themselves according to the command of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Joshua.
Moun Izrayèl yo te pran tout bèt moun yo ak tout byen yo pou yo, jan Seyè a te bay Jozye lòd la.
28 And Joshua burnt the city with fire: he made it an uninhabited heap for ever, [even] to this day.
Jozye boule lavil Ayi a, li fè l' tounen mazi, kote moun pa janm rete jouk jòdi a.
29 And he hanged the king of Gai on a gallows; and he remained on the tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave charge, and they took down his body from the tree, and cast it into a pit, and they set over him a heap of stones until this day.
Li fè yo pann wa lavil Ayi a nan yon pyebwa, epi yo kite l' la jouk aswè. Lè solèy kouche, Jozye bay lòd pou yo desann kadav la. Yo pran l', yo voye l' jete devan pòtay lavil la. Yo mete yon gwo pil wòch sou li. Pil wòch la la jouk jòdi a.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel in mount Gaebal,
Lè sa a, Jozye bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, sou mòn Ebal.
31 as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, on which iron had not been lifted up; and he offered there whole burnt offerings to the Lord, and a peace-offering.
Li bati li dapre lòd Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo, jan sa ekri nan liv Lalwa Moyiz la: N'a bati yon lotèl ak wòch ki pa t' janm travay ak zouti fè. Yo ofri sou lotèl la bèt yo touye pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, epi yo touye bèt pou mande Bondye padon.
32 And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, even the law of Moses, before the children of Israel.
Antan yo la, Jozye pran lalwa Moyiz te ekri pou pèp Izrayèl la, li kopye l' sou tout wòch lotèl la devan tout pèp la.
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and their judges, and their scribes, passed on one side and on the other before the ark; and the priests and the Levites took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the stranger and the native were there, who were half of them near mount Garizin, and half near mount Gaebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded at first, to bless the people.
Apre sa, tout pèp Izrayèl la vini ak chèf fanmi yo, direktè yo ak jij yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo, yo kanpe sou de bò Bwat Kontra Seyè a, ak fas yo vire ap gade moun Levi ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a sou zepòl yo nan mitan. Mwatye ladan yo te kanpe sou pant Mòn Garizim, mwatye sou bò mòn Ebal. Se konsa, depi lontan Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te ba yo lòd kanpe lè lè a va rive pou yo resevwa benediksyon.
34 And afterwards Joshua read accordingly all the words of this law, the blessings and the curses, according to all things written in the law of Moses.
Lèfini, Jozye li tout pawòl ki te nan liv lalwa a, pawòl benediksyon yo kou pawòl madichon yo, jan yo ekri nan liv lalwa a.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses charged Joshua, which Joshua read not in the ears of all the assembly of the children of Israel, the men, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that joined themselves to Israel.
Jozye li tout kòmandman Moyiz te bay yo san sote yon mo devan tout pèp Izrayèl la ki te reyini ansanm ak fanm yo, timoun yo ak tout moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo.
