Judges 2
1 And a messenger of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, And he said, I caused you to go up out of Egypt, and I brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers; and I said, I will not break my covenant with you for ever.
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 But ye for your part shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; their altars shall ye throw down; but ye have not obeyed my voice: what is this ye have done?
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 And I also have said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be evil neighbors to you, and their gods shall become 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 messenger of the Lord spoke 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 the Lord.
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 take possession of 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 the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days after Joshua, who had seen all the great deeds of the Lord, which he had done 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 Then died Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, being one 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 on the border of his inheritance in Timnath-cheres, in the mountain of Ephraim, on the north side of mount Ga'ash.
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, who knew not the Lord, and likewise not the deeds 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 the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and served the Be'alim:
Alò, fis Israël yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, e yo te sèvi Baal yo.
12 And they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they went after other gods, of the gods of the nations that were round about them, and they bowed themselves unto them, and incensed the Lord.
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 the Lord, and served Baal and 'Ashtaroth.
Yo te abandone SENYÈ a pou te sèvi Baal avèk Astarté yo.
14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of spoilers who spoiled them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they were not able any longer to 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 the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had spoken, and as the Lord 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 And the Lord raised up judges, and they 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 But also unto their judges they did not hearken; but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers had walked in, to obey the commandments of the Lord; 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 the Lord raised them up judges, then was the Lord with the judge, and he delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord bethought himself because of their groaning by reason of those that oppressed them and ill-treated 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 died, that they returned, and became more corrupt than their fathers, in going after other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them: they omitted nothing from their doings, and 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 the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he said, For the cause that this people have 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 So will I also for my part not drive out henceforth any man from before them out 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 In order to prove through them the Israelites, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, 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 And thus did the Lord leave these nations, so as not to drive them out speedily; and he delivered them not 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.
