Joshua 22

1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

Lè sa a, Jozye fè rele tout moun nan branch fanmi Woubenn, nan branch fanmi Gad ak nan mwatye branch fanmi Manase a, li reyini yo,

2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

li di yo: -Nou fè tou sa Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te ban nou lòd fè a. Nou te koute m' chak fwa mwen te mande nou fè kichòy.

3 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

Depi nan konmansman rive jòdi a, nou pa lage moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yo, nou te fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te mande nou fè.

4 And now the LORD 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 the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

Koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ba yo lapè jan li te di yo a. Se konsa, nou mèt tounen al lakay nou, nan peyi ki pou nou an, peyi Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te ban nou lòt bò larivyè Jouden.

5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD 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.

Sèl bagay n'ap mande nou, se pou nou obeyi kòmandman ak lalwa Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te ban nou an. Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou nou toujou mache nan chemen li mete devan nou an. Se pou nou fè tou sa l' mande nou fè. Se pou nou kenbe pye l' fèm. Se pou nou sèvi l' ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou.

6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.

Apre sa, Jozye ba yo benediksyon, li voye yo ale. Epi, y' al lakay 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,

Moyiz te pran peyi Bazan an, li te bay mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a. Jozye menm te bay lòt mwatye branch fanmi an yon pòsyon tè nan peyi ki sou bò solèy kouche larivyè Jouden an ansanm ak lòt branch fanmi pèp la. Lè Jozye t'ap voye premye mwatye moun Manase yo ale lakay yo, lè li fin 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.

li di yo konsa: -N'ap tounen lakay nou avèk anpil richès, avèk anpil bèt, avèk anpil bagay fèt an ajan, an lò, an kwiv, an fè, ansanm ak anpil rad. Separe avèk moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yo tou sa nou te pran nan men lènmi nou yo nan lagè.

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 the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Se konsa, moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, moun branch fanmi Gad yo ak mwatye moun nan branch fanmi Manase yo tounen tounen yo lakay yo. Yo kite rès pèp Izrayèl la lavil Silo nan peyi Kanaran, y' al nan peyi Galarad, nan peyi yo te ba yo a, dapre lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou yo.

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 moun Woubenn yo, moun Gad yo ak mwatye moun Manase yo rive devan larivyè Jouden, sou bò peyi Kanaran an, yo bati yon kokenn chenn lotèl sou rivaj la.

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.

Lòt moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin konn sa. Moun te vin di yo: -Men moun Woubenn yo, moun Gad yo ak mwatye moun Manase yo bati yon lotèl toupre larivyè Jouden sou fwontyè peyi Kanaran an, sou bò peyi moun Izrayèl 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 pèp Izrayèl la vin konn sa, tout moun sanble lavil Silo pou y' al goumen ak moun Woubenn yo, moun Gad yo ak lòt mwatye moun Manase yo.

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,

Moun pèp Izrayèl yo voye Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza, prèt la, bò kote moun Woubenn yo, moun Gad yo ansanm ak mwatye moun Manase yo nan pèyi Galarad.

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.

Yo te pran dis chèf, yonn pou chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, yo voye yo avèk Fineas. Chèf sa yo, se moun ki te alatèt branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl 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,

Se konsa, mesye sa yo rive bò moun Woubenn yo, moun Gad yo ak mwatye moun Manase yo nan peyi Galarad, epi yo di yo:

16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass [is] this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?

-Men sa tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo voye di nou: Ki bagay lèd sa a nou fè konsa kont Bondye pep Izrayèl la? Poukisa jòdi a nou vire do bay Seyè a, n' al bati yon lotèl pou tèt pa nou? Poukisa nou leve kont Seyè a jòdi 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 the LORD,

Chonje peche nou te fè bò Peyò a, lè Seyè a te pini pèp li a. Jouk koulye a n'ap soufri pou bagay sa a toujou. Sa pa kont toujou?

18 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

Men jòdi a, n'ap vire do bay Seyè a ankò. Si nou leve kont Seyè a jòdi a, denmen se sou tout pèp Izrayèl la li pral fache.

19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession [be] unclean, [then] pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD’s tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.

Si nou wè peyi yo ban nou an pa bon pou fè sèvis Bondye, pito nou vin bò isit la nan peyi Seyè a, kote kay Seyè a ye a. Mande pou yo ban nou yon pòsyon pou nou ladan l'. Men, pa leve kont Seyè a, ni pa vire do ban nou. Piga nou kite lotèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou n' al bati yon lòt lotèl.

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.

Chonje Akan, pitit gason Zera a, lè li te derefize swiv lòd Seyè a te bay pou bagay nou te fèt pou detwi nèt yo. Lè sa a, se tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt wi, Seyè a te pini. Se pa Akan sèlman ki te peye pou sa l' te fè a.

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,

Lè sa a, moun Woubenn yo, moun Gad yo ak mwatye moun Manase yo pran lapawòl, yo reponn chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la. Yo di yo:

22 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if [it be] in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day, )

-Seyè a, Bondye ki gen plis pouvwa pase tout lòt bondye yo, konnen se pa paske nou leve kont li, ni paske nou vle vire do ba li kifè nou bati lotèl sa a. Li konnen sa, epi se pou l' fè pèp Izrayèl la konn sa tou. Si se pou rezon sa yo nou te moute lotèl sa a, se pou l' kite yo touye nou jòdi a menm.

23 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require [it; ]

Si nou bati lotèl sa a pou nou vire do bay Seyè a, pou nou ka gen lotèl pa nou pou boule bèt n'ap ofri yo sou li, oswa pou fè lòt ofrann jaden nou yo, osinon ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi, se pou Seyè a mande nou kont pou sa nou fè 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 the LORD God of Israel?

Pou di vre, nou te fè l' paske nou te pè pou denmen pitit pitit nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl bò lòt bò a pa di pitit pitit pa nou yo bò isit la: Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak Seyè a.

25 For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

Seyè a mete larivyè Jouden an tankou yon limit nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la yon bò ak moun Woubenn yo ak moun Gad yo yon bò. Se sa ki fè moun Woubenn yo ak moun Gad yo pa gen anyen pou yo wè ak Seyè a. Konsa pitit moun pèp Izrayèl yo va lakòz pitit moun Woubenn yo ak pitit moun Gad yo sispann gen krentif pou Seyè a.

26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

Lè sa a nou di: Bon! Nou pral bati yon lotèl, nou pa pral boule ofrann ni touye ankenn bèt sou li.

27 But [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD 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 the LORD.

Sèlman, se pou lotèl sa a sèvi yon mak pou nou tout ki la koulye a ak pou pitit nou yo, pou fè nou chonje se Seyè a nou sèvi avèk ofrann boule nou yo, avèk bèt nou touye yo, avèk ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi nou yo. Konsa denmen, pitit moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap ka di pitit pa nou yo: Wi, nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak Seyè 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 the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it [is] a witness between us and you.

Nou te fè lide si yon jou yon moun ta vin di nou bagay konsa, osinon ta vin pale konsa ak pitit nou yo, n'a ka reponn yo: Gade! Men lotèl zansèt nou yo te bati. Li pòtre ak lotèl Seyè a. Se pa t' pou boule ofrann, ni pou touye ankenn bèt sou li. Men, se te yon mak pou fè nou tout chonje sak te pase!

29 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that [is] before his tabernacle.

Nou pa janm fè lide leve kont Seyè a, ni vire do ba li. Nou pa bati yon lotèl jòdi a pou nou boule bèt nou yo, ni pou fè ofrann jaden nou yo, ni pou touye bèt nou ofri yo. Nou p'ap janm bati yon lòt lotèl ki pou ranplase lotèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki kanpe devan kay kote l' rete 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 Fineas, prèt la, chèf pèp la ak chèf branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl ki te ale avè l' yo tande sa moun Gad, moun Woubenn ak moun Manase yo te di yo, sa te fè yo plezi anpil.

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 the LORD [is] among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

Lè sa a, Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza, prèt la, pale ak yo, li di yo konsa: -Koulye a nou konnen Seyè a avèk nou vre, paske nou pa t' chache vire do ba li. Se konsa nou sove pèp Izrayèl la anba chatiman Seyè 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.

Apre sa, Fineas, pitit Eleaza, prèt la, ak tout chèf yo kite moun Woubenn yo ak moun Gad yo nan peyi Galarad, yo tounen nan peyi Kanaran al jwenn rès pèp Izrayèl la. Yo rapòte yo repons lòt moun yo te ba yo a.

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.

Sa te fè pèp Izrayèl la plezi anpil: yo fè lwanj Bondye. Depi lè sa a, yo pa janm pale ankò sou keksyon al atake moun Woubenn yo ak moun Gad yo ni sou keksyon al detwi peyi moun sa yo.

34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed: ] for it [shall be] a witness between us that the LORD [is] God.

Moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo ak moun branch fanmi Gad yo rele lotèl la Temwen, paske yo t'ap di: L'a sèvi temwen devan nou tout se Seyè a ki Bondye.
