Joshua 6
1 Now Jericho was closed as well as fortified, out of fear of the sons of Israel, and no one dared to depart or to enter.
Yo te fèmen tout pòtay lavil Jeriko yo, yo te barikade yo poutèt moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Deyò pa antre, anndan pa soti.
2 And the Lord said to Joshua: “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and all the strong men.
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Koute. Mwen pral lage lavil Jeriko nan men ou ansanm ak wa a ak tout vanyan sòlda li yo.
3 Have all the warriors circle the city once each day; you shall do so for six days.
Ou menm ak tout sòlda pa ou yo, nou pral mache fè wonn lavil la yon fwa chak jou pandan sis jou.
4 Then, on the seventh day, the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used on the jubilee, and they shall precede the ark of the covenant. And you shall circle the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
Sèt prèt va mache devan Bwat Kontra a, avèk sèt kòn belye pou kònen, yonn nan men yo chak. Men, setyèm jou a, n'a mache fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa ansanm ak prèt k'ap kònen kòn belye yo.
5 And when the voice of the trumpet sounds longer and with interruptions, and it increases in your ears, then all the people shall cry out together with a very great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the foundation, and they shall enter it, each from a place opposite where they are standing.”
Lè n'a tande yon kout kòn ki trennen, tout pèp la va pran pouse yon sèl rèl byen fò. Miray ranpa lavil la pral tonbe plat atè. Lè sa a, chak moun va mache dwat devan yo sou lavil la.
6 Then Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priests, and he said to them, “Take the ark of the covenant, and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and advance before the ark of the Lord.”
Se konsa, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, rele prèt yo, li di yo: -Leve Bwat Kontra a, mete l' sou zepòl nou. Sèt prèt va mache devan l' avèk kòn belye yo nan men yo.
7 He also said to the people, “Go, and circle the city, armed, preceding the ark of the Lord.”
Apre sa, li di pèp la: -Leve mache! Nou pral fè wonn lavil la. Pòsyon lame ki pou mache devan an va pran devan Bwat Kontra a.
8 And when Joshua had finished his words, and the seven priests sounded the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
Pèp la fè jan Jozye te ba yo lòd fè a. Sèt prèt yo pran devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo t'ap kònen kòn yo.
9 and all the armed soldiers went ahead, the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets grew louder everywhere.
Pòsyon lame ki pou mache devan an pran devan prèt ki t'ap kònen yo. Pòsyon lame ki pou mache dèyè a t'ap mache dèyè Bwat Kontra a. Pandan yo t'ap mache konsa, yo t'ap kònen kòn belye yo.
10 But Joshua had instructed the people, saying, “You shall not cry out, nor shall your voice be heard, and no word at all shall proceed from your mouth, until the day arrives on which I will say to you, ‘Cry out, and shout.’”
Men, Jozye te bay pèp la lòd pou yo pa t' pouse ankenn rèl jan yo te konn fè l' la lè y'ap goumen. Se pou yo tout rete bouch fèmen, san di yon mo, jouk lè l'a ba yo lòd pouse rèl goumen an.
11 Thus, the ark of the Lord circled the city once each day, and returning to the camp, it remained there.
Prèt yo pati ak Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo fè wonn lavil yon fwa. Apre sa, yo tounen nan kan an epi yo pase nwit lan la.
12 And so, with Joshua, arising in the night, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
Nan denmen maten, Jozye leve, epi prèt yo pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a ankò.
13 and seven of them took the seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee, and they preceded the ark of the Lord, walking and sounding the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the remainder of the common people followed the ark, and they were blaring the trumpets.
Sèt prèt yo avèk sèt kòn belye yo t'ap mache devan Bwat Kontra a. Yo t'ap kònen. Pòsyon lame ki pou devan an t'ap mache devan yo, pòsyon lame ki pou mache dèyè a t'ap mache dèyè Bwat Kontra a: yo t'ap kònen tout tan yo t'ap mache a.
14 And they circled the city on the second day, once, and they returned to the camp. They did so for six days.
Dezyèm jou a, yo mache fè wonn lavil la ankò yon sèl fwa. Epi yo tounen nan kan yo. Yo fè sa konsa pandan sis jou.
15 Then, on the seventh day, rising at first light, they circled the city, just as had been ordered, seven times.
Sou setyèm jou a, yo leve lè bajou kase, yo mache menm jan an. Men, jou sa a yo fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa. Se jou sa a ase yo te fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa.
16 And at the seventh circling, when the priests sounded the trumpets, Joshua said to all of Israel: “Shout! For the Lord has delivered the city to you.
Setyèm fwa a, apre prèt yo fin kònen kòn belye yo, Jozye di pèp la konsa: -Nou mèt rele koulye a! Seyè a lage lavil la nan men nou!
17 And let this city be anathema, with all the things that are within it, before the Lord. May only Rahab the harlot live, with all who are with her in the house. For she hid the messengers whom we sent.
Nou pral ofri lavil la ak tou sa ki ladan l' tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye. Nou pral touye dènye moun ki ladan l'. Sèl moun ki va rete vivan, se va Rarab, jennès la, ak tout moun ki va lakay li, paske li te kache mesaje nou te voye yo.
18 But you must be careful that you do not touch any of those things, as you have been instructed, for then you would be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel would be under sin and would be troubled.
Men, nou menm, pa mete men nou nan sa nou gen pou nou detwi pou Seyè a. Si nou pran anyen nan sa nou gen pou nou detwi a, n'ap lakòz malè tonbe sou kay moun Izrayèl yo, n'ap lakòz tèt chaje vin pou tout moun.
19 But whatever gold and silver there will be, and vessels of brass or of iron, let these be consecrated to the Lord and be stored in his treasuries.”
Tout bagay ki fèt an lò, an ajan, an fè osinon an kwiv, n'a mete yo apa pou Seyè a. N'a depoze yo nan depo richès Seyè a.
20 Therefore, with all the people shouting, and the trumpets blaring, after the voice and the sound increased in the ears of the multitude, the walls promptly fell to ruin. And each one climbed up at the place which was opposite where he was. And they seized the city.
Se konsa, yo kònen kòn belye yo. Tande pèp la tande son kòn belye yo, yo pouse yon sèl gwo rèl, epi miray ranpa lavil la tonbe plat atè. Epi chak moun pran mache dwat devan yo sou lavil la, yo anvayi l'.
21 And they put to death all who were in it, from man even to woman, from infant even to elder. Likewise, the oxen and sheep and donkeys, they struck down with the edge of the sword.
Yo ofri tou sa ki nan lavil la bay Seyè a. Avèk nepe yo, yo touye tout moun nan lavil la, fanm kou gason, granmoun kou timoun, tout bèf, tout mouton, tout bourik.
22 But Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to explore, “Enter the house of the harlot woman, and bring her out, and all the things that are hers, just as you assured her by oath.”
Jozye rele de mesye li te voye an kachèt al vizite lavil Jeriko a, li di yo: -Ale lakay jennès la. Fè l' soti ak tout fanmi li, jan nou te pwomèt li a.
23 And the youths entered, and they led out Rahab, and her parents, also her brothers, and all her goods and kindred, and they caused them to dwell outside the camp.
Se konsa y' ale, yo fè Rarab soti ansanm ak papa l', manman l', frè l' yo, tout rès fanmi l' yo ak tou sa yo te genyen, yo enstale yo yon kote andeyò kan moun Izrayèl yo.
24 Then they set fire to the city and all the things that were within it, except the gold and silver, and the vessels of brass or of iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord.
Yo mete dife nan lavil la, yo boule l' nèt ak tou sa ki ladan l', an wetan bagay ki te fèt an lò, an ajan, an fè ak an kwiv yo. Yo pran yo, yo pote yo nan depo richès Seyè a.
25 Yet truly, Joshua caused Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all she had, to survive. And they lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day. For she hid the messengers, whom he had sent to explore Jericho. At that time, Joshua made an invocation, saying:
Men, Jozye te sove Rarab, jennès la, ak tout fanmi l' yo ansanm ak tou sa ki pou yo, paske Rarab te kache mesye Jozye te voye espyonnen lavil Jeriko a. Moun fanmi Rarab yo ap viv jouk koulye a nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
26 “Cursed before the Lord is the man who will raise up and rebuild the city of Jericho! With his firstborn, may he lay its foundation, and with the last of his children, may he set up its gates.”
Lè sa a, Jozye bay avètisman sa a pou tout moun, li di: -Madichon Bondye pou nenpòt moun ki konprann pou l' ta rebati lavil yo rele Jeriko a. Si yon moun mete men nan fondasyon l' yo, l'ap pèdi premye pitit gason l' lan. Si yon moun remoute pòtay li yo, l'ap pèdi dènye pitit gason l' la.
27 And so the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was made known throughout all the land.
Se konsa Seyè a te kanpe la avèk Jozye. Nan tout peyi a yo t'ap nonmen non l'.
