Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Which tribe from among us should go first and attack the Canaanites?”
Apre Jozye mouri, pèp Izrayèl la mande Seyè a: -Nan tout branch fanmi nou yo, kilès ladan yo ki pou al atake moun Kanaran yo anvan?
2 “Judah is to go first,” the Lord replied. “I have handed the land over to them.”
Seyè a reponn yo: -Se branch fanmi Jida a ki pou premye ale. Se mwen menm k'ap lage tout peyi a nan men yo.
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.
Moun Jida yo di moun Simeyon yo konsa: -Ann al ansanm ak nou nan pòsyon tè yo ban nou an, nou menm moun Jida yo. Enpi n'a mete ansanm pou goumen ak moun Kanaran yo. Apre sa, nou menm moun Jida yo, n'a ale ansanm ak nou nan pòsyon tè yo ban nou an, nou menm moun Simeyon yo. Se konsa, moun Simeyon yo ale ansanm ak
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.
moun Jida yo, yo moute al goumen. Seyè a lage moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo nan men yo. Yo bat yon lame dimil (10.000) sòlda nan lavil Bezèk.
5 There they confronted Adoni-bezek and fought with him, defeating the Canaanites and Perizzites.
Yo jwenn Adonibezèk l'a tou. Yo goumen avè l'. Yo bat moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo byen bat.
6 Adoni-bezek ran away, but they chased after him and captured him, and then cut off his thumbs and big toes.
Adonibezèk te kouri pou yo. Yo kouri dèyè l', yo mete men sou li, epi yo koupe de dwèt gwopous li yo ak de gwo tèt zòtèy pye l' yo.
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.
Lè sa a, Adonibezèk di: -Mwen te koupe dwèt gwopous ak gwo tèt zòtèy pye swasanndis wa. Yo te konn ranmase kras manje ki tonbe anba tab mwen. Jòdi a, Bondye fè m' sa m' te fè yo a. Yo mennen msye lavil Jerizalèm. Se la li mouri.
8 The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and conquered it. They killed the inhabitants with the sword and burned the town down.
Moun fanmi Jida yo al atake lavil Jerizalèm, epi yo pran l'. Yo touye dènye moun ki te rete la, lèfini yo mete dife ladan l'.
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 sa, y' al goumen ak moun Kanaran ki t'ap viv nan mòn yo ak nan pye mòn yo nan Negèv la.
10 They attacked the Canaanites who lived Hebron (previously known as Kiriath Arba) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Moun Jida yo atake moun Kanaran ki te rete lavil Ebwon, ki te rele anvan sa Kiriyat Aba. Yo bat Chechayi, Ayiman ak Talmayi.
11 From there they went on to attack the people living in Debir (previously known as Kiriath Sepher).
Yo kite Ebwon, yo mache al atake moun ki te rete lavil Debi yo. Nan tan lontan yo te rete lavil sa a Kiriyat-Sefè.
12 Caleb announced, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to whoever attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”
Kalèb di: -Moun ki va resi pran lavil Kiriyat-Sefè a, m'ap marye l' ak Aksa, pitit fi mwen an.
13 Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, was the one captured it, so he gave him his daughter Acsah in marriage.
Se Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz, ti frè Kalèb la, ki te pran lavil la. Konsa, Kalèb ba li Aksa, pitit fi li a, pou 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?”
Lè Aksa rive lakay mari l', mari a di l' poukisa li pa mande papa l' yon bon jaden. Akza al jwenn Kalèb. Desann li desann bourik li, Kalèb mande l': -Sak genyen, pitit mwen?
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.
Akza reponn: -Mwen vin mande ou yon favè. Se ou menm ki voye m' al viv nan dezè Negèv la, se pou ou ban m' kote pou m' pran dlo tou. Se konsa Kalèb ba li Sous Dlo Anwo ak Sous Dlo Anba Negèv la.
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.
Moun Kayen yo, fanmi bòpè Moyiz la, kite lavil Palmis. Yo moute ansanm ak moun Jida yo nan dezè peyi Jida a sou bò sid lavil Arad. Se la y' al rete ansanm ak moun Amalèk yo.
17 Then Judah joined Simeon and defeated the Canaanites living in Zephath. They completely destroyed the town, so they named it Hormah.
Moun Jida yo ale ansanm ak moun Simeyon yo, yo bat moun Kanaran ki te rete lavil Zefa yo. Yo detwi lavil la, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te ladan l'. Yo boule yo tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Yo chanje non lavil la, yo rele l' Oma.
18 Judah also captured the towns of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron, each with its surrounding territory.
Moun Jida yo pa t' pran lavil Gaza ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li, lavil Askalon ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li, lavil Ekwon ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li.
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.
Seyè a te kanpe ak moun Jida yo, li fè yo pran tout mòn yo pou yo. Men, yo pa t' kapab mete moun ki nan laplenn yo deyò paske yo te gen cha lagè 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.
Jan Moyiz te bay lòd la, yo pran lavil Ebwon bay Kalèb. Kalèb mete twa pitit gason Anak yo deyò nan lavil la.
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, moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo pa t' mete moun Jebis yo deyò nan lavil Jerizalèm. Se konsa moun Jebis yo rete ap viv ansanm ak moun Benjamen yo nan lavil Jerizalèm jouk jòdi a.
22 The descendants of Joseph went and attacked the town of Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Moun de branch fanmi Jozèf yo moute al atake lavil Betèl ki te rele Louz anvan sa. Seyè a te kanpe avèk yo tou.
23 They sent spies to investigate Bethel, which was previously known as Luz.
Yo voye kèk moun an kachèt al wè jan sa ye nan lavil la.
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.”
Moun yo te voye yo kontre yon nonm ki t'ap soti lavil la. Yo di l' konsa: -Moutre nou ki jan moun ka antre nan lavil la. Nou pwomèt ou nou p'ap fè ou anyen.
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.
Se konsa nonm lan moutre yo ki jan pou yo antre nan lavil la. Yo touye tout moun ki te nan lavil la, esepte nonm lan ansanm ak tout fanmi l'.
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.
Apre sa, nonm lan pati ale nan peyi moun Et yo. Li bati yon lavil laba a, li rele l' Louz. Se konsa yo rele lavil la jouk jòdi 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.
Moun branch fanmi Manase yo pa t' rive mete tout moun deyò nan lavil Bèt Chean, nan lavil Tanak, nan lavil Dò, nan lavil Jibleyam, nan lavil Megibo ak nan tout ti bouk ki te sou kont yo. Konsa, moun Kanaran yo te toujou ap viv nan peyi a.
28 When the Israelites grew stronger, they made the Canaanites do forced labor, but they never completely drove them out.
Lè moun Izrayèl yo te vin pi fò, yo fòse moun Kanaran yo travay pou yo, men, yo pa janm mete yo deyò.
29 Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites living in the town of Gezer, so the Canaanites went on living there among them.
Moun branch fanmi Efrayim yo tou pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Gezè. Se konsa, moun Kanaran yo rete viv la ansanm ak 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.
Moun branch fanmi Zabilon yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Kitwon ak nan lavil Naalòl. Moun Kanaran yo te rete viv ansanm ak yo, men yo te blije travay pou moun Zabilon yo.
31 Asher didn't drive out the people living in the towns of Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, and Rehob,
Moun branch fanmi Asè yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Sidon, lavil Alad, lavil Akzid, lavil Elba, lavil Afik ak lavil Reyòb.
32 so the people of Asher went on living there among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they hadn't driven them out.
Se konsa, moun Asè yo t'ap viv ansanm ak moun Kanaran ki te rete nan peyi a, paske yo pa t' 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.
Moun branch fanmi Nèftali yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Bèt-Chemèch, ni nan lavil Bèt Anat. Yo te rete ansanm ak moun Kanaran ki te rete nan peyi a. Men, moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch ak moun lavil Bèt anat yo te blije travay 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.
Moun Amori yo menm te kwense moun fanmi Dann yo nan mòn yo. Yo pa t' kite yo desann nan plenn lan menm.
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.
Se konsa, moun Amori yo rete rete yo nan mòn Erès, nan lavil Ayalon ak nan lavil Chalbim. Men, lè moun fanmi Jozèf yo rive donminen sou yo, yo fè yo travay pou yo.
36 The border with the Amorites ran from Scorpion Pass through Sela and on up from there.
Fwontyè peyi moun Amori yo te konmanse depi pas Eskòpyon yo, moute rive gwo Wòch.
