Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Which tribe from among us should go first and attack the Canaanites?”
Alò, li vin rive apre lanmò Josué ke fis Israël yo fè yon demann SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Kilès ki va premye pou vin monte pou nou kont Kananeyen yo pou goumen kont yo?”
2 “Judah is to go first,” the Lord replied. “I have handed the land over to them.”
SENYÈ a te reponn: “Juda va monte. Veye byen, Mwen te mete peyi a nan men l.”
3 The men of Judah said to their relatives of the tribe of Simeon, “Come with us to the land that has been allotted to us, and fight together with us against the Canaanites. Then we'll do the same for you and your allotted land.” So the tribe of Simeon joined with them.
Konsa, Juda te di a Siméon, frè li: “Vini avè m nan teren ki te vin tonbe pou mwen an, pou nou kapab goumen kont Kananeyen yo. Epi lè nou retounen, mwen va ale avè w nan teren pa w la.” Konsa Siméon te ale avèk li.
4 The men of Judah attacked the Canaanites and Perizzites, and the Lord handed them over in defeat. They killed ten thousand of the enemy at the town of Bezek.
Juda te monte e SENYÈ a te livre Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo nan men yo. Yo te bat di-mil lòm Bézek.
5 There they confronted Adoni-bezek and fought with him, defeating the Canaanites and Perizzites.
Yo te rankontre Adoni Bézek nan Bézek. Yo te goumen kont li, e yo te bat Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo.
6 Adoni-bezek ran away, but they chased after him and captured him, and then cut off his thumbs and big toes.
Men Adoni Bézek te sove ale. Yo te kouri dèyè li pou te kenbe li e yo te koupe pous li avèk gwo zòtèy li.
7 Adoni-bezek said, “I had seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off picking up left-overs from under my table. Now God has paid me back in the same way what I did to them.” They took him to Jerusalem where he died.
Adoni Bézek te di: “Swasann-dis wa avèk pous avèk gwo zòtèy koupe te konn ranmase manje anba tab mwen. Jan ke m te konn fè a, konsa Bondye te rekonpanse mwen.” Konsa, yo te mennen li Jérusalem e la, li te mouri.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and conquered it. They killed the inhabitants with the sword and burned the town down.
Alò, fis Juda yo te goumen kont Jérusalem. Yo te kaptire li. Yo te frape li avèk lam nepe e yo te mete dife nan vil la.
9 After this the men of Judah went to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, in the Negev, and in the foothills of the lowlands.
Apre, fis a Juda yo te desann pou goumen kont Kananeyen ki te rete nan peyi ti kolin yo ak nan Negev la ak nan ba plèn nan.
10 They attacked the Canaanites who lived Hebron (previously known as Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Konsa, Juda te ale kont Kananeyen ki te rete Hébron yo (alò, non Hébron avan an se te Kirjath-Arba.) Yo te frape Schéschaï avèk Ahiman ak Talmaï.
11 From there they went on to attack the people living in Debir (previously known as Kiriath Sepher).
Soti la, li te ale kont sila ki te rete Debir yo. (Alò, non Debir se te Kirjath-Sépher)
12 Caleb announced, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to whoever attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”
Epi Caleb te di: “Sila ki atake Kirjath-Sépher e ki kaptire li a; a li menm, mwen va bay fi mwen an, Acsa kòm madanm li.”
13 Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, was the one captured it, so he gave him his daughter Acsah in marriage.
Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, pi jèn frè a Caleb la te kaptire li. Konsa, li te ba li fi li a kòm madanm.
14 When Acsah came to Othniel, she encouraged him to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
Epi li te vin rive ke lè Acsa te vin kote li, ke li te konvenk li mande papa li yon chan. Li te desann bourik li, e Caleb te di: “Kisa ou vle?”
15 “Please give me a blessing,” she replied. “You gave me land that's like the desert, so please give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
Li te di li: “Beni mwen. Akoz ou te ban mwen peyi nan Negev la, ban m sous dlo yo tou.” Konsa, Caleb te ba li sous piwo avèk sous piba yo.
16 The descendants of Moses' father-in-law, the Kenite, went with the people of Judah from the city of palms to the wilderness of Judah in the Negev near Arad where they settled among the people.
Desandan Kenyen yo, bòpè Moïse la, te monte soti nan vil pal yo avèk fis Juda yo. Yo soti nan dezè a Juda ki vè sid Arad la, epi yo te monte pou rete avèk pèp sila yo.
17 Then Judah joined Simeon and defeated the Canaanites living in Zephath. They completely destroyed the town, so they named it Hormah.
Konsa, Juda te ale avèk Siméon, frè li a, e yo te frape Kananeyen ki te rete Tsephath yo. Yo te detwi li nèt. Konsa, non a vil la te rele Horma.
18 Judah also captured the towns of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, each with its surrounding territory.
Anplis, Juda te pran Gaza avèk teritwa ki te pou li a, ak Askalon avèk teritwa pa li a, ak Ékron avèk teritwa pa li a.
19 The Lord was with Judah, and they took over the hill country, but they could not drive out the people living on the plain because they had iron chariots.
Alò SENYÈ a te avèk Juda, e te chase met dèyo tout sa yo ki te viv nan peyi ti kolin yo. Men yo pa t ka chase mete deyò pèp ki te rete nan vale yo, akoz yo te gen cha yo ki te fèt an fè.
20 As Moses had stipulated, Hebron was given to Caleb, who drove out from it the descendants of three sons of Anak.
Alò, yo te bay Hébron a Caleb, jan Moïse te pwomèt yo a; epi li te chase fè sòti twa fis Anak yo.
21 However, Benjamin could not drive out the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live among the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this very day.
Men fis a Benjamin yo pa t chase mete Jebizyen ki te rete nan Jérusalem yo deyò. Pou sa, Jebizyen yo te rete pami fis Benjamin yo jis rive jodi a.
22 The descendants of Joseph went and attacked the town of Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Menm jan an, lakay Joseph te monte kont Béthel e SENYÈ a te avèk yo.
23 They sent spies to investigate Bethel, which was previously known as Luz.
Lakay Joseph te fè espyonaj Béthel. Alò, vil sa, avan lè te rele Luz.
24 The spies saw a man leaving the town and told him, “Please show us how to get into town, and we will treat you well.”
Espyon yo te wè yon nonm ki t ap sòti nan vil la. Yo te di li: “Souple, montre nou kote pou nou antre nan vil la, e nou va fè ou gras.”
25 The man showed them the way into the town, and they killed all the inhabitants except the man and his family, whom they let go.
Konsa, li te montre yo antre vil la e yo te frape vil la avèk lam nepe. Men yo te kite mesye sa a, ak tout fanmi li an libète.
26 The man moved to the country of the Hittites, and built a town there and called it Luz, which is its name to this day.
Mesye sila a te antre nan peyi Etyen yo. Li te bati yon vil e te ba li non Luz, epi se konsa li rele jis rive jodi a.
27 However, Manasseh didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo and their surrounding villages because the Canaanites insisted on living in the land.
Men Manassé pa t pran posesyon Beth-Schean avèk bouk pa li yo, ni Thannac avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Dor yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Jibleam yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni moun ki te rete Meguiddo avèk bouk pa li yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te kontinye viv nan peyi sa a.
28 When the Israelites grew stronger, they made the Canaanites do forced labor, but they never completely drove them out.
Li te vin rive ke lè Israël te vin fò, ke yo te fòse Kananeyen yo fè travo fòse, men yo pa t chase yo fè yo sòti nèt.
29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites living in the town of Gezer, so the Canaanites went on living there among them.
Éphraïm pa t chase fè sòti Kananeyen ki t ap viv Guézer yo, men Kananeyen yo te viv Guézer pami yo.
30 Zebulun didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Kitron and Nahalol, so the Canaanites went on living there among them. However, the Canaanites were made to do forced labor for the people of Zebulun.
Zabulon pa t chase fè sòti pèp ki te rete Kitron yo, ni pèp ki te rete Nahalol yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te rete pami yo e te vin sijè a travo fòse.
31 Asher didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob,
Aser pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Acco yo, ni pèp a Sidon yo, ni sila a Achlal yo, ni a Heba, ni a Aczib, ni a Rehob yo.
32 so the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out.
Konsa, Aserit yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a. Paske, yo pa t chase mete yo deyò.
33 Naphtali didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath. So the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out. However, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were made to do forced labor for the people of Naphtali.
Nephtali pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Beth-Schémesch yo, ni pèp a Beth-anath yo. Men yo te viv pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a, epi pèp peyi Beth-Schémesch avèk Beth-Anath yo te vin fè travo fòse pou yo.
34 The Amorites pushed the people of Dan back into the hill country—they did not let them come down into the lowlands.
Konsa, Amoreyen yo te pouse fis a Dan yo antre nan peyi ti kolin yo, epi te anpeche yo antre nan vale a.
35 The Amorites insisted on remaining in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but when the tribes of Joseph grew stronger, the Amorites were made to do forced labor.
Malgre sa, Amoreyen yo te pèsiste rete nan Mòn Hérès, nan Ajalon ak nan Schaalbim. Men lè pouvwa kay Joseph la te vin fò, yo te oblije fè travo fòse.
36 The border with the Amorites ran from Scorpion Pass through Sela and on up from there.
Lizyè a Amoreyen yo te kouri soti nan monte Akrabim nan, soti Séla pou monte piwo.
