Judges 2
1 And the Messenger of YHWH goes up from Gilgal to Bochim,
Zanj Seyè a kite Gilgal, li moute nan Kriye. Li di pèp Izrayèl la konsa: -Mwen fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip. Mwen fè nou antre nan peyi mwen te pwomèt zansèt nou yo. Mwen te di mwen p'ap janm kase kontra mwen te pase ak nou pou tout tan an.
2 and says, “I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you for all time; and you make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land—you break down their altars; and you have not listened to My voice—what [is] this you have done?
Nou menm, bò pa nou, piga nou fè ankenn kontra ak moun k'ap viv nan peyi a. Se pou nou kraze tout lotèl yo. Men, nou pa fè sa m' te di nou fè a. Gade sa nou pito fè!
3 And I have also said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been for adversaries to you, and their gods are for a snare to you.”
Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou: Mwen p'ap mete yo deyò devan nou. Y'ap rete la bò kote nou, bondye yo ap tounen yon pèlen pou nou.
4 And it comes to pass, when the Messenger of YHWH speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
Lè zanj Seyè a fin di yo sa, tout pèp la pran kriye.
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice to YHWH there.
Se poutèt sa yo rele kote yo te ye a Nankriye. Epi yo ofri bèt pou touye pou Seyè a la.
6 And Joshua sends the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
Jozye voye pèp la ale lakay yo. Se konsa, chak branch fanmi pèp la pati al pran pòsyon tè yo te ba yo nan peyi a.
7 and the people serve YHWH all [the] days of Joshua, and all [the] days of [the] elderly who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of YHWH which He did to Israel.
Pèp Izrayèl la te sèvi Seyè a pandan tout tan Jozye te vivan. Apre sa, yo sèvi l' pandan tout tan chèf ki te konnen sa Seyè a te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la te vivan toujou.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of YHWH, dies, a son of one hundred and ten years,
Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, sèvitè Seyè a, mouri. Li te gen sandizan (110 an).
9 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash;
Yo antere l' sou tè ki te vin pou li a nan zòn Timnat-Erès, nan mòn ki pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, sou bò nò mòn Gach.
10 and all that generation have also been gathered to their fathers, and another generation rises after them who have not known YHWH, and even the work which He has done to Israel.
Tout jenerasyon moun Jozye yo te fin mouri tou, yo te al jwenn zansèt yo anba tè. Apre yo, te vin gen yon lòt jenerasyon moun ki te bliye ni Seyè a ni sa li te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la.
11 And the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim,
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Y' al sèvi Baal yo.
12 and forsake YHWH, God of their fathers, who brings them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] around them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke YHWH,
Yo vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, Bondye ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la. Yo tonbe mache dèyè lòt bondye ki te fè pati bann bondye pèp ki te la toupatou bò kote yo. Y' al adore yo. Sa te fè Seyè a an kolè sou yo.
13 indeed, they forsake YHWH, and do service to Ba‘al and to Ashtaroth.
Yo vire do bay Seyè a, y' al fè sèvis pou Baal yo ak Astate yo.
14 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He gives them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He sells them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, and they have not been able to stand before their enemies anymore;
Seyè a vin an kòlè sou pèp Izrayèl la, li kite ansasen atake yo pou pran tou sa yo te genyen. Li kite lènmi ki toupatou bò kote yo mete pye sou kou yo. Yo pa t' ka kenbe tèt devan lènmi yo ankò.
15 in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of YHWH has been against them for calamity, as YHWH has spoken, and as YHWH has sworn to them, and they are greatly distressed.
Chak fwa y' al nan lagè, Seyè a te pran pozisyon kont yo pou malè yo, jan li te di li t'ap fè l' la. Se konsa yo t'ap bat yon sèl mizè!
16 And YHWH raises up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
Se lè sa a Seyè a voye bay pèp Izrayèl la kèk chèf, vanyan gason ki te delivre yo anba men ansasen yo.
17 and they have also not listened to their judges, but have gone whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of YHWH—they have not done so.
Men, menm chèf sa yo, yo pa t' koute yo. Yo vire do bay Seyè a, y' al dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo. Yo te toujou prese kite chemen dwat kote zansèt yo t'ap mache lè yo t'ap swiv lòd Seyè a. Yo pa t' koute lòd Seyè a.
18 And when YHWH raised up judges for them—then YHWH was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all [the] days of the judge; for YHWH sighs, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
Chak fwa Seyè a voye yon chèf konsa ba yo, li te kanpe la avèk chèf la, li te delivre yo anba men lènmi yo toutotan chèf la te vivan. Seyè a te gen pitye pou yo paske yo t'ap soufri anpil anba moun ki t'ap pèsekite yo ak anba moun ki t'ap peze yo.
19 And it has come to pass, when the judge dies—they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
Men, mouri chèf la mouri, pitit yo te rekonmanse lage kò yo nan menm vye bagay yo ankò pi mal pase papa yo. Y' al dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Yo t'ap fè tèt di, yo derefize sispann fè bagay sa yo.
20 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He says, “Because that this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to My voice—
Seyè a te fache anpil sou pèp Izrayèl la. Li di konsa: -Nasyon an kase kontra mwen te mande zansèt yo kenbe a. Yo pa vle koute m'.
21 I also do not continue to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua has left when he dies,
Bon, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap mete lòt nasyon Jozye te mouri kite nan peyi a deyò ankò.
22 in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of YHWH, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it], or not.”
Se konsa m'a wè kote m' ye ak pèp Izrayèl la. M'a konnen si wi ou non yo soti pou fè sa m' mande yo fè a jan zansèt yo te fè l' la.
23 And YHWH leaves these nations, so as not to dispossess them quickly, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
Se konsa Seyè a te kite lòt nasyon li pa t' lage anba men Jozye yo rete nan peyi a. Li pa prese mete yo deyò.
