Joshua 22
1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Konsa, Josué te rele tout Ribenit yo ak Gadit yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a.
2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Yhwh commanded you, and have obeyed 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 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yhwh 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 now Yhwh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yhwh gave you on the other side Jordan.
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 heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Yhwh charged you, to love Yhwh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
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 Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.
Epi Josué te beni yo. Li te voye yo ale, e yo te ale nan pwòp tant pa yo.
7 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he 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 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil 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 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of Yhwh 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 unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, 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 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, 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 And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war 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 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son 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 each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers 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 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they 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 Yhwh, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Yhwh, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against Yhwh?
“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 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of Yhwh,
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 But that ye must turn away this day from following Yhwh? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against Yhwh, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole 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 unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of Yhwh, wherein Yhwh's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against Yhwh, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of Yhwh 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 the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
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 the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of 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 Yhwh God of gods, Yhwh God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against Yhwh, ( save us 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 That we have built us an altar to turn from following Yhwh, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or grain offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let Yhwh himself 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 have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with Yhwh 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 Yhwh hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in Yhwh: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing Yhwh.
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, Let us now prepare to build us 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 that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of Yhwh before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in Yhwh.
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, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of Yhwh, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us 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 rebel against Yhwh, and turn this day from following Yhwh, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of Yhwh 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 of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
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 son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that Yhwh is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Yhwh: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yhwh.
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 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
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 thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, 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 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that Yhwh is God.
Fis a Ruben yo avèk fis a Gad yo te rele lotèl la “Temwen lan Antre Nou, ke SENYÈ a Se Bondye.”
