Judges 2
1 And an angel of Yhwh came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te monte soti Guilgal a Bokim. Li te di: “Mwen te mennen nou sòti an Égypte, e Mwen te mennen nou antre nan peyi ke M te sèmante a zansèt nou yo. Epi Mwen te di: ‘Mwen p ap janm kraze akò Mwen avèk nou.
2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
Konsa, pou nou menm, nou p ap fè okenn akò avèk pèp peyi sila yo. Nou va chire lotèl pa yo.’ Men nou pa t obeyi Mwen. Kisa sa ye ke nou fè la a?
3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
Pou sa, Mwen te di anplis, ‘Mwen p ap pouse yo sòti devan nou, men yo va devni tankou zepin akote nou e dye pa yo va vin yon pèlen pou nou.’”
4 And it came to pass, when the angel of Yhwh spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Lè zanj SENYÈ a te pale pawòl sa yo a tout fis Israël yo, pèp la te leve vwa pa yo pou te kriye.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto Yhwh.
Pou sa, yo te bay plas sa non Bokim, epi la, yo te fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a.
6 And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
Lè Josué te fin fè pèp la ale, fis Israël yo te ale yo chak nan pwòp eritaj pa yo pou posede teren an.
7 And the people served Yhwh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of Yhwh, that he did for Israel.
Pèp la te sèvi Josué pandan tout jou a Josué yo e tout jou a ansyen ki te sèvi Josué yo, ki te wè tout gran zèv SENYÈ a te fè pou Israël yo.
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yhwh, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
Epi Josué, fis a Nun nan, Sèvitè SENYÈ a, te mouri nan laj san-dis ane.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath–heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
Yo te antere li nan teritwa eritaj pa li, nan Thimnath-Hérès nan peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo, vè nò a Mòn Gaasch.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not Yhwh, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
Tout jenerasyon sila a, osi, te vin ranmase vè zansèt pa yo. Konsa, te vin leve yon lòt jenerasyon apre yo ki pa t rekonèt SENYÈ a, ni nonplis zèv ke Li te fè pou Israël yo.
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of Yhwh, and served Baalim:
Alò, fis Israël yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, e yo te sèvi Baal yo.
12 And they forsook Yhwh God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked Yhwh to anger.
Yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, ki te mennen yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la pou te swiv lòt dye yo, soti nan dye a pèp ki te antoure yo. Yo te bese yo ba devan yo. Konsa, yo te pwovoke SENYÈ a a lakòlè.
13 And they forsook Yhwh, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
Yo te abandone SENYÈ a pou te sèvi Baal avèk Astarté yo.
14 And the anger of Yhwh was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
Lakòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Israël. Li te livre yo nan men a piyajè ki te piyaje yo. Li te vann yo antre nan men a lènmi ki te antoure yo pou yo pa t kab kanpe ankò devan lènmi yo.
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of Yhwh was against them for evil, as Yhwh had said, and as Yhwh had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
Nenpòt kote ke yo te ale, men SENYÈ a te kont yo pou mal, jan SENYÈ a te pale yo a, jan Li te sèmante a yo a. Konsa, vrèman yo te vin gen gwo pwoblem.
16 Nevertheless Yhwh raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
Alò, SENYÈ a te fè leve jij ki te livre yo soti nan men a sila ki t ap piyaje yo.
17 And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of Yhwh; but they did not so.
Malgre sa, yo pa t koute jij yo, paske yo te fè pwostitiye dèyè lòt dye yo, e te bese yo ba anvè yo. Yo te vire akote byen vit soti nan chemen an nan sila zansèt yo te mache ak obeyisans lòd a SENYÈ yo. Yo pa t fè tankou yo.
18 And when Yhwh raised them up judges, Then Yhwh was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented Yhwh because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
Lè SENYÈ a te kon fè leve yon jij pou yo, SENYÈ a te avèk jij la, e te delivre pèp la nan men lènmi yo pandan tout jou yo a jij la. Konsa, SENYÈ a te vin gen pitye pou yo akoz sila ki te oprime ak aflije yo.
19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
Men li te kòn rive ke nan lè jij la vin mouri, yo ta vire tounen pou aji pi konwonpi pase zansèt yo. Yo te swiv lòt dye yo pou sèvi yo, e bese ba devan yo. Yo pa t janm abandone zèv sila yo, ni chemen tèt mato yo.
20 And the anger of Yhwh was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
Konsa, lakòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Israël. Li te di: “Akoz nasyon sa a te transgrese akò ke Mwen te kòmande zansèt yo, e pa t koute vwa M,
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
Mwen menm tou, Mwen va sispann chase devan yo, okenn nan nasyon ke Josué te kite la lè l te mouri yo,
22 That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of Yhwh to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
pou pase Israël a leprèv pa yo menm, pou wè si yo va kenbe chemen a SENYÈ a pou mache ladann jan zansèt pa yo te fè a oswa non.”
23 Therefore Yhwh left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
Konsa SENYÈ a te pèmèt ke nasyon sa yo rete pami yo, e pa t pouse yo sòti vit. Li pa t livre yo nan men Josué.
