< Judges 1 >
1 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites at the first, to fight against them?
Alò, li vin rive apre lanmò Josué ke fis Israël yo fè yon demann SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Kilès ki va premye pou vin monte pou nou kont Kananeyen yo pou goumen kont yo?”
2 And the Lord said, Judah shall go up; behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
SENYÈ a te reponn: “Juda va monte. Veye byen, Mwen te mete peyi a nan men l.”
3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, and we will fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
Konsa, Juda te di a Siméon, frè li: “Vini avè m nan teren ki te vin tonbe pou mwen an, pou nou kapab goumen kont Kananeyen yo. Epi lè nou retounen, mwen va ale avè w nan teren pa w la.” Konsa Siméon te ale avèk li.
4 And Judah went up; and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they smote [of] them in Bezek ten thousand men.
Juda te monte e SENYÈ a te livre Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo nan men yo. Yo te bat di-mil lòm Bézek.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Yo te rankontre Adoni Bézek nan Bézek. Yo te goumen kont li, e yo te bat Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Men Adoni Bézek te sove ale. Yo te kouri dèyè li pou te kenbe li e yo te koupe pous li avèk gwo zòtèy li.
7 And Adoni-bezek said, Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered food under my table: as I have done, so hath God requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Adoni Bézek te di: “Swasann-dis wa avèk pous avèk gwo zòtèy koupe te konn ranmase manje anba tab mwen. Jan ke m te konn fè a, konsa Bondye te rekonpanse mwen.” Konsa, yo te mennen li Jérusalem e la, li te mouri.
8 And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and captured it, and they smote it with the edge of the sword, and the city they set on fire.
Alò, fis Juda yo te goumen kont Jérusalem. Yo te kaptire li. Yo te frape li avèk lam nepe e yo te mete dife nan vil la.
9 And afterward did the children of Judah go down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the lowlands.
Apre, fis a Juda yo te desann pou goumen kont Kananeyen ki te rete nan peyi ti kolin yo ak nan Negev la ak nan ba plèn nan.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron; [now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiryath-arba'; ] and they smote Sheshai, and Achiman, and Talmai.
Konsa, Juda te ale kont Kananeyen ki te rete Hébron yo (alò, non Hébron avan an se te Kirjath-Arba.) Yo te frape Schéschaï avèk Ahiman ak Talmaï.
11 And he went from there against the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir was formerly Kiryath-sepher:
Soti la, li te ale kont sila ki te rete Debir yo. (Alò, non Debir se te Kirjath-Sépher)
12 And Caleb said, He that will smite Kiryath-sepher, and capture it, to him will I give 'Achsah my daughter for wife.
Epi Caleb te di: “Sila ki atake Kirjath-Sépher e ki kaptire li a; a li menm, mwen va bay fi mwen an, Acsa kòm madanm li.”
13 And 'Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, captured it: and he gave him 'Achsah his daughter for wife.
Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, pi jèn frè a Caleb la te kaptire li. Konsa, li te ba li fi li a kòm madanm.
14 And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What aileth thee?
Epi li te vin rive ke lè Acsa te vin kote li, ke li te konvenk li mande papa li yon chan. Li te desann bourik li, e Caleb te di: “Kisa ou vle?”
15 And she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a dry land: give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
Li te di li: “Beni mwen. Akoz ou te ban mwen peyi nan Negev la, ban m sous dlo yo tou.” Konsa, Caleb te ba li sous piwo avèk sous piba yo.
16 And the children of the Kenite, the father-in-law of Moses, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is at the south of 'Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.
Desandan Kenyen yo, bòpè Moïse la, te monte soti nan vil pal yo avèk fis Juda yo. Yo soti nan dezè a Juda ki vè sid Arad la, epi yo te monte pou rete avèk pèp sila yo.
17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and devoted it. And the name of the city was called Chormah.
Konsa, Juda te ale avèk Siméon, frè li a, e yo te frape Kananeyen ki te rete Tsephath yo. Yo te detwi li nèt. Konsa, non a vil la te rele Horma.
18 And Judah captured Gazzah with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and 'Ekron with its territory.
Anplis, Juda te pran Gaza avèk teritwa ki te pou li a, ak Askalon avèk teritwa pa li a, ak Ékron avèk teritwa pa li a.
19 And the Lord was with Judah; and he took possession of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Alò SENYÈ a te avèk Juda, e te chase met dèyo tout sa yo ki te viv nan peyi ti kolin yo. Men yo pa t ka chase mete deyò pèp ki te rete nan vale yo, akoz yo te gen cha yo ki te fèt an fè.
20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken; and he drove out thence the three sons of 'Anak.
Alò, yo te bay Hébron a Caleb, jan Moïse te pwomèt yo a; epi li te chase fè sòti twa fis Anak yo.
21 And the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem, the children of Benjamin did not drive out; but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem until this day.
Men fis a Benjamin yo pa t chase mete Jebizyen ki te rete nan Jérusalem yo deyò. Pou sa, Jebizyen yo te rete pami fis Benjamin yo jis rive jodi a.
22 And the house of Joseph, these also, went up against Beth-el; and the Lord was with them.
Menm jan an, lakay Joseph te monte kont Béthel e SENYÈ a te avèk yo.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el: now the name of the city formerly was Luz.
Lakay Joseph te fè espyonaj Béthel. Alò, vil sa, avan lè te rele Luz.
24 And the watchers saw a man coming forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee kindness.
Espyon yo te wè yon nonm ki t ap sòti nan vil la. Yo te di li: “Souple, montre nou kote pou nou antre nan vil la, e nou va fè ou gras.”
25 And he showed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but the man and all his family they let go free.
Konsa, li te montre yo antre vil la e yo te frape vil la avèk lam nepe. Men yo te kite mesye sa a, ak tout fanmi li an libète.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz: this is its name unto this day.
Mesye sila a te antre nan peyi Etyen yo. Li te bati yon vil e te ba li non Luz, epi se konsa li rele jis rive jodi a.
27 Neither did Menasseh drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and its towns, nor Ta'anach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Yible'am and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites succeeded to remain in this land.
Men Manassé pa t pran posesyon Beth-Schean avèk bouk pa li yo, ni Thannac avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Dor yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Jibleam yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni moun ki te rete Meguiddo avèk bouk pa li yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te kontinye viv nan peyi sa a.
28 And it came to pass, when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but they did not drive them out entirely.
Li te vin rive ke lè Israël te vin fò, ke yo te fòse Kananeyen yo fè travo fòse, men yo pa t chase yo fè yo sòti nèt.
29 Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; and the Canaanites dwelt in the midst of them at Gezer.
Éphraïm pa t chase fè sòti Kananeyen ki t ap viv Guézer yo, men Kananeyen yo te viv Guézer pami yo.
30 Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; and the Canaanites dwelt in the midst of them, and became tributary.
Zabulon pa t chase fè sòti pèp ki te rete Kitron yo, ni pèp ki te rete Nahalol yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te rete pami yo e te vin sijè a travo fòse.
31 Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of 'Akko, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Achlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Chelbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rechob;
Aser pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Acco yo, ni pèp a Sidon yo, ni sila a Achlal yo, ni a Heba, ni a Aczib, ni a Rehob yo.
32 And the Asherites dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
Konsa, Aserit yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a. Paske, yo pa t chase mete yo deyò.
33 Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-'anath; and he dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributary unto them.
Nephtali pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Beth-Schémesch yo, ni pèp a Beth-anath yo. Men yo te viv pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a, epi pèp peyi Beth-Schémesch avèk Beth-Anath yo te vin fè travo fòse pou yo.
34 And the Emorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain; for they would not suffer them to come down into the valley;
Konsa, Amoreyen yo te pouse fis a Dan yo antre nan peyi ti kolin yo, epi te anpeche yo antre nan vale a.
35 And the Emorites succeeded to remain on mount Cheres, in Ayalon, and in Sha'albim; but when the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, they became tributary.
Malgre sa, Amoreyen yo te pèsiste rete nan Mòn Hérès, nan Ajalon ak nan Schaalbim. Men lè pouvwa kay Joseph la te vin fò, yo te oblije fè travo fòse.
36 And the territory of the Emorites was from the ascent of 'Akrabbim, from the Rock upward.
Lizyè a Amoreyen yo te kouri soti nan monte Akrabim nan, soti Séla pou monte piwo.
