Joshua 22

1 Then Ioshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh,

Konsa, Josué te rele tout Ribenit yo ak Gadit yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a.

2 And sayd vnto them, Ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lord commanded you, and haue obeied my voice in all that I commanded you:

Li te di yo: “Nou te swiv tout sa ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te kòmande nou an e nou te koute vwa m nan tout sa ke m te kòmande nou yo.

3 You haue not forsaken your brethren this long season vnto this day, but haue diligently kept the commandement of the Lord your God.

Nou pa t abandone frè nou yo pandan tout jou sila yo, jis rive jodi a, men nou te kenbe lòd a kòmandman a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

4 And nowe the Lord hath giuen rest vnto your brethren as he promised them: therefore nowe returne ye and goe to your tentes, to the land of your possession, which Moses the seruant of the Lord hath giuen you beyond Iorden.

Epi koulye a, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bay repo a frè nou yo, jan Li fenk pale yo a. Pou sa, vire koulye a e ale nan tant pa nou yo, nan peyi posesyon pa nou an, ke Moïse, sèvitè Bondye a, te bannou lòtbò Jourdain an.

5 But take diligent heede, to doe the commandement and Lawe, which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you: that is, that ye loue the Lord your God, and walke in all his wayes, and keepe his commandements, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all your heart and with all your soule.

Sèlman, fè atansyon pou swiv kòmandman an ak lalwa ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te kòmande nou an, pou nou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi mache nan tout chemen Li yo, kenbe kòmandman Li yo, kenbe fèm a Li menm, e sèvi Li avèk tout kè nou e ak tout nanm nou.”

6 So Ioshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went vnto their tents.

Epi Josué te beni yo. Li te voye yo ale, e yo te ale nan pwòp tant pa yo.

7 Nowe vnto one halfe of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had giuen a possession in Bashan: and vnto the other halfe thereof gaue Ioshua among their brethren on this side Iorden Westwarde: therefore when Ioshua sent them away vnto their tents, and blessed them,

Alò, a mwatye tribi sila ki te pou Manassé a, Moïse te ba yo yon posesyon nan Basan; men a lòt la, Josué te ba yo yon posesyon pami frè yo nan lwès lòtbò Jourdain an. Konsa, lè Josué te voye yo ale nan tant yo, li te beni yo,

8 Thus he spake vnto them, saying, Returne with much riches vnto your tents, and with a great multitude of cattell, with siluer and with golde, with brasse and with yron, and with great abundance of rayment: deuide the spoyle of your enemies with your brethren.

epi li te di yo: “Retounen vè tant nou yo avèk gran richès, avèk yon gran kantite bèt, avèk ajan, lò, bwonz, fè, e avèk anpil rad. Divize piyaj a lènmi nou yo avèk frè nou.”

9 So the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel from Shiloh (which is in the land of Canaan) to goe vnto the countrey of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had obteyned, according to ye word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

Fis a Ruben yo ak fis a Gad yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a te retounen kite fis Israël yo nan Silo, ki te nan peyi Canaan an, pou ale nan peyi Galaad, nan peyi ke yo te posede a, selon kòmand a SENYÈ a ki te soti nan Moïse la.

10 And when they came vnto the borders of Iorden (which are in the land of Canaan) then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh, built there an altar by Iorden, a great altar to see to.

Lè yo te vini nan rejyon Jourdain an, ki nan peyi Canaan an, fis a Ruben yo avèk fis a Gad yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a te bati yon lotèl la akote Jourdain an, yon lotèl ki parèt byen gran.

11 When the children of Israel heard say, Beholde, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh haue built an altar in the forefront of the lande of Canaan vpon the borders of Iorden at the passage of the children of Israel:

Lè fis Israël yo te tande afè sa a, yo te di: “Gade byen, fis Ruben yo ak fis Gad yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a gen tan bati yon lotèl nan fwontyè peyi Canaan an, nan rejyon Jourdain an, sou bò ki pou fis Israël yo.”

12 When the children of Israel heard it, then the whole Congregation of the children of Israel gathered them together at Shiloh to goe vp to warre against them.

Lè fis Israël yo te vin tande sa a, tout asanble a fis Israël yo te rasanble yo nan Silo pou monte kont yo nan lagè.

13 Then the children of Israel sent vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to ye halfe tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest,

Alò, fis Israël yo te voye prèt la, Phinées, fis Éléazar a, kote fis Ruben yo avèk fis Gad yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a pou antre nan peyi Galaad la.

14 And with him ten princes, of euery chiefe house a prince, according to all the tribes of Israel: for euery one was chiefe of their fathers housholde among the thousands of Israel.

Ansanm avèk li, dis chèf yo, yon chèf pou kay a chak fanmi zansèt nan tribi Israël yo; epi yo chak se te tèt an chèf kay fanmi zansèt li pami milye an Israël yo.

15 So they went vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh, vnto the land of Gilead, and spake with them, saying,

Yo te vin kote fis Ruben yo, kote fis Gad yo ak kote mwatye tribi Manassé a, nan peyi Galaad la. Yo te pale avèk yo e te di:

16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What transgression is this that ye haue transgressed against the God of Israel, to turne away this day from the Lord, in that ye haue built you an altar for to rebell this day against the Lord?

“Konsa pale tout kongregasyon a SENYÈ a: ‘Ki zak movèz fwa sa ye ke nou te komèt kont Bondye Israël la? Poukisa nou vire kite chemen SENYÈ a jodi a pou bati yon lotèl pou fè rebèl kont SENYÈ a jodi a?

17 Haue we too litle for the wickednesse of Peor, whereof we are not clensed vnto this day, though a plague came vpon the Congregation of the Lord?

Èske inikite Peor a pa t sifi pou nou, nan sila nou poko pwòp jis rive jodi a, sepandan yon epidemi te vin parèt sou asanble SENYÈ a,

18 Ye also are turned away this day from the Lord: and seeing ye rebell to day against ye Lord, euen to morowe he will be wroth with all the Congregation of Israel.

ke nou bezwen vire kite Jodi a chemen SENYÈ a? Si nou fè rebèl kont SENYÈ a Jodi a, Li va fache avèk tout asanble Israël la demen.

19 Notwithstanding if the land of your possession be vncleane, come ye ouer vnto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lordes Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among vs: but rebell not against the Lord, nor rebell not against vs in building you an altar, beside the altar of the Lord our God.

Si, malgre sa, peyi posesyon nou an pa pwòp, alò, travèse antre nan peyi posesyon SENYÈ a, kote tabènak SENYÈ a kanpe a pou vin pran posesyon pami nou. Sèlman, pa fè rebèl kont SENYÈ a, ni fè rebèl kont nou avèk lotèl ke nou bati pou kont nou an, anplis ke lotèl SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

20 Did not Achan ye sonne of Zerah trespasse grieuously in the execrable thing, and wrath fell on all the Congregation of Israel? and this man alone perished not in his wickednesse.

Èske Acan, fis Zérach la, pa t aji an movèz fwa nan zafè bagay ki te dedye anba ve a e kòlè te tonbe sou tout asanble a SENYÈ a? Epi se pa mesye sa a sèl ki te peri nan inikite l la.’”

21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh answered, and saide vnto the heads ouer the thousands of Israel,

Epi fis Ruben yo ak fis Gad yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a te reponn e te pale avèk chèf an tèt fanmi a Israël yo.

22 The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel himselfe shall know: if by rebellion, or by transgression against ye Lord we haue done it, saue thou vs not this day.

Sila ki Toupwisan an, Bondye SENYÈ a, Sila ki Toupwisan an, Bondye SENYÈ a, Li menm ki konnen! E Li menm va kite Israël konnen tou a. Si se te nan rebelyon, oswa si se nan movèz fwa, yon zak ki fèt kont SENYÈ a, pa sove lavi nou jodi a!

23 If we haue built vs an altar to returne away from the Lord, either to offer thereon burnt offering, or meate offering, or to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himselfe require it:

Si nou bati pou kont nou yon lotèl pou detounen pa swiv SENYÈ a, oswa si pou nou ofri yon ofrann brile, oswa yon ofrann sereyal sou li, oswa si se pou ofri sakrifis lapè sou li, ke SENYÈ a, li menm, fè demann sa a.

24 And if we haue not rather done it for feare of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might say vnto our children, What haue ye to doe with the Lord God of Israel?

“Men anverite, si nou pa t fè sa avèk lakrent Bondye avèk yon bi ki te di ke: ‘Nan tan k ap vini an, fis ou yo kapab di a fis nou yo: “Ki relasyon nou gen avèk SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la?

25 For the Lord hath made Iorden a border betweene vs and you, ye children of Reuben, and of Gad: therefore ye haue no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord.

Paske SENYÈ a te fè Jourdain nan yon lizyè antre nou ak ou, nou menm, fis a Ruben yo ak fis a Gad yo. Nou pa gen pòsyon nan SENYÈ a.”’” Pou sa a, li ta kab fèt ke fis ou yo ta ka petet fè pitit pa nou vin pa gen krent SENYÈ a.

26 Therefore we said, We will nowe go about to make vs an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,

“Pou sa, nou te di: ‘Annou bati yon lotèl, pa pou ofrann brile ni pou sakrifis;

27 But it shall be a witnesse betweene vs and you, and betweene our generations after vs, to execute the seruice of the Lord before him in our burnt offerings, and in our sacrifices, and in our peace offerings, and that your children should not say to our children in time to come, Ye haue no part in the Lord.

men sa va pou yon temwen antre nou avèk ou menm ak antre jenerasyon ki swiv nou yo, ke nou kapab fè sèvis SENYÈ a devan Li avèk ofrann brile nou, avèk sakrifis nou yo e avèk ofrann lapè nou yo;’ pou fis pa w yo pa vin di a fis pa nou yo nan tan ki pou vini an: ‘Nou pa gen pòsyon nan SENYÈ a.’

28 Therefore said we, If so be that they should so say to vs or to our generations in time to come, then will we answere, Beholde the facion of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but it is a witnesse betweene vs and you.

“Pou sa, nou te di, ‘Li va osi vin rive ke si yo di sa a nou, oswa a jenerasyon nou k ap vini an, alò nou va di: “Nou wè modèl lotèl ke zansèt nou yo te fè a, pa pou ofrann brile, ni pou fè sakrifis; men olye de sa, li se yon temwen antre nou menm ak ou menm.”’

29 God forbid, that we should rebell against the Lord, and turne this day away from the Lord to builde an altar for burnt offering, or for meate offering, or for sacrifice, saue the altar of the Lord our God, that is before his Tabernacle.

Lwen de nou ke nou ta fè rebèl kont SENYÈ a pou vin detounen pa swiv SENYÈ a jodi a, pou nou ta bati yon lotèl ofrann brile, oswa ofrann sereyal, oswa sakrifis, ot ke lotèl ki pou SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki devan tabènak pa Li a!”

30 And when Phinehas the Priest, and the princes of the Congregation and heads ouer the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the wordes, that the children of Reuben, and children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spake, they were well content.

Lè Phinées, prèt la, avèk chèf asanble yo, menm chèf an tèt a fanmi zansèt Israël ki te avèk li yo, te tande pawòl ke fis Ruben yo, fis Gad yo ak fis Manassé yo te pale, sa te fè kè yo kontan.

31 And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest said vnto the children of Reuben and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceiue, that the Lord is among vs, because ye haue not done this trespasse against the Lord: nowe ye haue deliuered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.

Phinées, fis a Éléazar a, prèt la, te di a fis Ruben yo, fis Gad yo ak fis Manassé yo: “Jodi a, nou konnen ke SENYÈ a pami nou, akoz nou pa t fè zak malonèt sila a kont SENYÈ a. Koulye a, nou gen tan livre fis Israël yo soti nan men SENYÈ a.”

32 Then Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest with the princes returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, vnto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them answere.

Alò, Phinées, fis a Éléazar a, prèt la, avèk chèf yo te retounen sòti nan fis Ruben yo ak nan fis Gad yo, nan peyi Galaad la, yo te rive nan peyi Canaan an vè fis Israël yo e te pote pawòl sa ba yo.

33 And the saying pleased the children of Israel: and the children of Israel blessed God, and minded not to goe against them in battell, for to destroy the land, wherein the children of Reuben, and Gad dwelt.

Pawòl la te fè kè kontan pami fis Israël yo, e fis Israël yo te beni Bondye. Yo pa t pale ankò afè fè lagè pou detwi peyi kote fis a Ruben yo avèk fis a Gad yo te rete a.

34 Then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witnesse betweene vs, that the Lord is God.

Fis a Ruben yo avèk fis a Gad yo te rele lotèl la “Temwen lan Antre Nou, ke SENYÈ a Se Bondye.”
