< Joshua 10 >
1 Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, learned that Joshua had captured Ai and destroyed the town completely, as he had also done to Jericho, and had killed its king, just as he had the king of Jericho. He also heard that the Gibeonites had made peace with the Israelites and were allied with 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 The people of Jerusalem were very frightened by this because Gibeon was a large town—as large as any town ruled by the king, and larger than Ai, and its men were tough fighters.
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 So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent a message 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 and help me 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 these five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and their armies gathered and set off. They surrounded Gibeon and then began their attack.
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 The Gibeonites sent a message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Please don't abandon us, your servants! Come quickly and save us! We need your help for all the Amorite kings of the hill country have joined in attacking 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, all his fighting men and best fighters, set off 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 had said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid of them, for you will defeat them. Not a single one will be able to 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 By marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua arrived without warning.
Lè Jozye kite Gilgal, li pase tout nwit lan ap mache. Li rive sou moun Amori yo san yo pa t' atann.
10 The Lord threw the Amorite armies into a panic when they saw the Israelites. He struck them down with a great blow at Gibeon; he chased them all the way up to Beth-horon, cutting them down on the way to 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 ran away from the Israelites down the slope from Beth-horon, the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the skies all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than we killed 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 handed the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke by the Lord in the presence of the Israelites, saying, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon! Moon, stand still 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 The sun stopped moving, and the moon stood still, until the nation of Israel had inflicted defeat on their enemies. (This is recorded in the Book of Jashar). The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not go down for around 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 wasn't a day like this ever before or since when the Lord listened to a human voice in such a way. It was because the Lord was fighting 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 and all the army returned to the camp at Gilgal.
Apre sa, Jozye ak tout lame Izrayèl la tounen nan kan yo Gilgal.
16 The five kings had run away and hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Men, senk wa yo te kouri chape, y' al kache nan gwòt Makeda a.
17 When Joshua was told that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah,
Y' al di Jozye yo jwenn senk wa yo kache nan gwòt Makeda a.
18 he gave this order, “Roll some large stones to block the entrance to the cave and have some men guard it.
Jozye reponn: -Woule wòch bouche bouch gwòt la. Mete moun veye yo.
19 But don't you stay there. Chase the enemy down and attack them from the rear. Don't let them escape to their towns for the Lord has given them to you to defeat.”
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 totally defeated them, striking them down and killing them. Only a few of them survived to escape back to their towns.
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 army returned to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared even to threaten 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 cave entrance and bring out the five kings to me from the cave.”
Lè sa a, Jozye di: -Degaje bouch gwòt la. Mennen senk wa yo deyò vin jwenn mwen.
23 So they did, bringing out the five kings from 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 fighting men, and said to the commanders who had gone with him, “Come here, and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came over 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 Joshua said to them, “Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! Be strong and be brave! For the Lord is going to do the same thing to all your enemies that you're going to 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 Then Joshua killed the kings and hung their bodies on five trees and left them hanging there until the evening.
Apre sa, Jozye touye wa yo epi li fè pann kadav yo sou senk pyebwa kote yo rete pandye jouk aswè.
27 As the sun went down Joshua gave the order to take their bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. Then the Israelites piled up stones over the entrance to the cave, and they are there to this very 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 That day Joshua captured Makkedah, killing all its inhabitants, including the king. He set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He killed the king of Makkedah just as he had killed 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 the Israelite army left Makkedah and went to attack Libnah,
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite Makeda, y' al atake lavil Libna.
30 and the Lord gave the town and its king to the Israelites. Joshua had everyone in it killed, leaving no survivors. He killed its king just as he had killed 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 Then Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Libnah to Lachish, surrounding the town and attacking it.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite Libna, y' al atake Lakis. Yo sènen lavil la nèt.
32 The Lord gave the town to the Israelites who captured it on the second day. Joshua had everyone in it killed, just as he had done in 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 Then Horam, king of Gezer, came with his army to help Lachish, but Joshua and his men killed them, 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 Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounding the town and attacking it.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite lavil Lakis, y' al atake lavil Eglon. Yo sènen l' nèt.
35 They captured it the same day. Joshua had everyone in it killed that very day. He set it apart and completely destroyed it, just as he had done in 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 Joshua and the Israelite army left Eglon and went to attack Hebron.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak lame Izrayèl la kite lavil Eglon, yo moute al atake Ebwon.
37 They captured the town, as well as the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Eglon, he set it apart and completely destroyed it 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 Then Joshua and the Israelite army turned and went to attack Debir.
Apre sa ankò, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la vire sou lavil Debi, y' al atake l'.
39 He captured it and its king and all the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Hebron, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it. He killed the king of Debir just as he had killed the king of Libnah.
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 land—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes—and all their kings. He didn't leave a single survivor. He killed everyone 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 destroyed them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and the whole of the land from Goshen to 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 All the kings and their lands were conquered by Joshua in one campaign because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for the Israelites.
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 Joshua and the Israelite army then returned to the camp at Gilgal.
Lèfini, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la tounen nan kan yo Gilgal.
