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.
Alò, Jéricho te byen sere pa fis Israël yo. Pèsòn pa t sòti ni antre.
2 And the Lord said to Joshua: “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and all the strong men.
SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Gade, Mwen te livre Jéricho nan men ou, avèk wa li ak gèrye vanyan li yo.
3 Have all the warriors circle the city once each day; you shall do so for six days.
Mache antoure vil la avèk tout mesye lagè nou yo pou l tou ansèkle li yon fwa. Ou va fè sa pandan si 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.
Anplis, sèt prèt va pote sèt twonpèt fèt ak kòn belye devan lach la. “Konsa, nan setyèm jou a, nou va mache antoure vil la sèt fwa e prèt yo va soufle twonpèt 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.”
Li va vin rive ke lè yo fè yon gwo son avèk kòn belye a, lè nou tande son twonpèt la, tout pèp la va rele fò avèk yon gwo bri; epi miray vil la va tonbe plat e pèp la va monte, chak moun tou dwat.”
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.”
Konsa, Josué, fis la a Nun nan, te rele prèt yo. Li te di yo: “Pran lach akò a, e kite sèt prèt yo pote sèt twonpèt yo fèt avèk kòn belye yo devan lach SENYÈ a.”
7 He also said to the people, “Go, and circle the city, armed, preceding the ark of the Lord.”
Yo te di a pèp la: “Ale devan, mache antoure vil la e kite mesye ak zam yo ale devan lach SENYÈ 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,
Li te vin rive ke lè Josué te pale avèk pèp la, sèt prèt ki t ap pote sèt twonpèt a kòn belye yo devan SENYÈ a te avanse, e te soufle twonpèt yo, epi lach akò SENYÈ a te swiv 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.
Mesye avèk zam yo te ale devan prèt ki tap soufle twonpèt yo, epi gad aryè a te swiv lach la, pandan yo te kontinye ap soufle twonpèt 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 Josué te kòmande pèp la e te di: “Nou pa pou rele, ni kite yo tande vwa nou menm. Ni pa kite yon mo sòti nan bouch nou, jis rive jou ke m di nou: ‘Rele fò!’ Alò, nan moman sa a, nou va rele fò!”
11 Thus, the ark of the Lord circled the city once each day, and returning to the camp, it remained there.
Konsa, li te fè lach SENYÈ a antoure vil la ansèkle l yon fwa. Konsa, yo te rantre nan kan an, e yo te pase nwit lan la nan kan an.
12 And so, with Joshua, arising in the night, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
Alò, Josué te leve granmmaten, e prèt yo te leve pran lach SENYÈ a.
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 ki te pote sèt twonpèt kòn belye yo devan lach SENYÈ a, te kontinye san rete e te soufle twonpèt yo. Mesye avèk zam yo te ale devan yo, e gad an aryè yo te swiv lach SENYÈ a, pandan yo te kontinye ap soufle twonpèt yo.
14 And they circled the city on the second day, once, and they returned to the camp. They did so for six days.
Konsa, nan dezyèm jou a, yo te mache antoure vil la yon fwa e te retounen nan kan an. Yo te fè konsa pandan si jou.
15 Then, on the seventh day, rising at first light, they circled the city, just as had been ordered, seven times.
Alò, nan setyèm jou a, yo te leve bonè avan jou, e te mache antoure vil la menm jan an sèt fwa. Sèl nan jou sa a, yo te mache antoure vil 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.
Nan setyèm fwa a, lè prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo, Josué te di a pèp la: “Rele fò!” Paske SENYÈ a gen tan bannou vil la.
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.
“Vil la va vin dedye anba ve, li menm avèk tout sa ki ladann se pou SENYÈ a. Sèl Rahab, pwostitiye a ak tout moun ki avè l nan kay la va viv, akoz li te kache mesaje ke 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 pou nou menm, sèlman kenbe tèt nou apa pou pa fè bagay sa yo ki anba ve pou detwi, pou nou pa anvi yo e pran kèk bagay ki anba ve a, pou fè kay Israël la vin modi pou gwo pwoblèm vin sou li.
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.”
Men tout ajan avèk lò, zafè an bwonz ak fè, sen a SENYÈ a. Yo va antre nan trezò SENYÈ 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.
Alò, pèp la te rele fò, prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo. Lè pèp la te tande son twonpèt la, yo te rele fò avèk yon gwo kri, epi miray la te tonbe plat. Epi konsa, pèp la te antre nan vil la, tout mesye toudwat pou yo te pran vil la.
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 te detwi tout bagay nan vil la nèt; ni gason, ni fanm, jèn kon granmoun, ni bèf, ni mouton, ni bourik, pa lam nepe.
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.”
Josué te di a de mesye ki te fè espyonaj peyi yo: “Antre lakay pwostitiye a e mete fanm nan avèk tout sa li genyen deyò, 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.
Konsa, jennonm ki te espyon yo te antre. Yo te mennen Rahab deyò avèk papa l ak manman l, frè li yo avèk tout sa li te genyen. Anplis, yo te mete deyò tout fanmi li yo e te plase yo deyò kan Israël la.
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 te brile vil la avèk dife ak tout sa ki ladann. Sèlman ajan avèk lò avèk tout bagay ki te fèt an bwonz ak fè, yo te mete yo nan trezò kay SENYÈ 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:
Sepandan, Rahab, pwostitiye a, avèk tout kay papa l ak tout sa li te genyen, Josué te konsève yo. Epi li te viv nan mitan Israël jis rive jodi a, paske li te kache mesaje ke Josué te voye pou fè espyonaj Jéricho yo.
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.”
Konsa, Josué te pase lòd sèman an nan lè sa a. Li te di: “Modi devan SENYÈ a se sila ki leve pou rebati vil sa a, Jéricho. Avèk pèt premye ne li yo, li va poze fondasyon li; avèk pèt denyè ne li yo, li va monte pòtay li yo.”
27 And so the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was made known throughout all the land.
SENYÈ a te avèk Josué e li te vin byen rekonèt nan tout peyi a.
