< Deuteronomy 2 >
1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke to me; and we encircled Mount Seir many days.
“Epi nou te vire pati vè dezè a pa chemen Lamè Wouj la, jan SENYÈ a te pale mwen an, e nou te ansèkle Mòn Séir pandan anpil jou.
2 The LORD spoke to me, saying,
“Epi SENYÈ a te pale avèk mwen. Li te di:
3 "You have encircled this mountain long enough. Turn northward.
‘Nou gen tan fin ansèkle mòn sa a pandan ase de tan. Vire bò kote nò a.
4 Command the people, saying, 'You are to pass through the border of your brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they will be afraid of you: take good heed to yourselves therefore;
Kòmande pèp la e di yo: “Nou va pase nan teritwa frè nou yo, fis a Ésaü yo ki rete Séir, eyo va pè nou. Pou sa, fè atansyon.
5 do not contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
Pa bourade yo, paske Mwen p ap bannou okenn nan tè pa yo, menm yon ti mòso, paske Mwen te bay Ésaü Mòn Séir pou posede l.
6 You shall purchase food of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.'"
Nou va achte manje nan men yo avèk lajan pou nou kapab manje. Epi nou va, osi, achte dlo pou bwè nan men yo avèk lajan nou.”’”
7 For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; he has known your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
“Paske SENYÈ a te beni nou nan tout sa nou te fè. Li te konnen tout vwayaj nou yo nan gran dezè sila a. Pandan karantan sa yo, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te avèk nou. Nou pa t manke anyen.”
8 So we passed by from our brothers the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, from the way of the Arabah from Eilat and from Ezion Geber. We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
“Pou sa, nou te pase devan kite frè nou yo, fis a Esaü ki rete Séir yo, lwen wout Araba a, lwen Élath ak Etsjon-Guéber. Konsa, nou te vire pase nan chemen dezè Moab la.
9 The LORD said to me, "Do not bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the descendants of Lot for a possession."
“Alò, SENYÈ a te di mwen, ‘Pa menase Moab, ni pa fè pwovokasyon lagè, paske Mwen p ap bannou okenn nan peyi pa yo pou posede. Paske Mwen te bay Ar a fis a Lot yo kòm posesyon.’
10 (The Emim lived there before, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim:
“(Avan, se te pèp Émim ki te rete la; yon gwo pèp, gran an kantite, e wo menm jan ak Anakim (jeyan yo).
11 these also are accounted Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.
Tankou Anakim yo, yo konnen kòm Rephaïm; men Moabit yo, te rele yo Émim.
12 The Horites also lived in Seir before, but the descendants of Esau succeeded them; and they destroyed them from before them, and lived in their place; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)
Otrefwa, se te Oriyen yo ki te rete Séir, men fis a Esaü yo te deplase yo, te detwi yo devan yo, e yo te vin rete nan plas yo, jis jan ke Israël te fè lè yo te vin posede peyi pa yo ke SENYÈ a te bay yo.)
13 "Now rise up, and cross over the Wadi Zered." So we went over the Wadi Zered.
“‘Koulye a, leve travèse ravin Zéred la, nou menm.’ Konsa, nou te travèse ravin Zéred la.
14 The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea, until we had come over the Wadi Zered, were thirty-eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were consumed from the midst of the camp, as the LORD swore to them.
“Alò, tan ke nou te pran pou sòti Kadès-Barnéa pou vin travèse ravin Zéred la se te trann-tuit ane, jiskaske tout jenerasyon moun lagè yo te mouri soti anndan kan an, jan SENYÈ a te sèmante a yo menm nan.
15 Moreover the hand of God was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
Anplis, men a SENYÈ a te kont yo, pou detwi yo soti anndan kan an jiskaske yo tout te mouri.
16 So it happened, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
“Epi li te vin rive ke lè tout moun lagè yo te fin mouri pami pèp la,
17 that the LORD spoke to me, saying,
ke SENYÈ a te pale avè m e te di:
18 "You are this day to pass over Ar, the border of Moab:
‘Jodi a, ou va travèse sou Ar, lizyè a Moab la.
19 and when you come near over against the people of Ammon, do not bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the people of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the people of Lot for a possession."
Lè ou vin anfas fis Ammon yo, pa menase yo ni pwovoke yo, paske Mwen p ap bay ou okenn nan peyi ki pou fis Ammon yo kòm posesyon pa w, paske Mwen te bay li a fis a Lot yo kòm posesyon.’
20 (That also is accounted a land of Rephaim: Rephaim lived in it before; but the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
“(Li rele osi peyi a, Rephaïm, akoz Rephaïm yo te viv la avan sa, men Amonit yo rele yo Zamzumminim,
21 a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place;
yon pèp tèlman gran e anpil, wo tankou Anakim, men SENYÈ a te detwi yo devan yo. Epi yo te chase yo sòti pou te vin rete nan plas yo,
22 as he did for the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites from before them; and they succeeded them, and lived in their place even to this day:
jis jan ke li te fè pou fis Esaü yo, ki te rete Séir, lè Li te detwi Oriyen yo soti devan yo; yo te chase yo e yo te vin rete nan plas yo menm jiska jodi a.
23 and the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim, who came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and lived in their place.)
Epi Avyen ki te rete nan vil yo jis rive kote Gaza, Kaftorim yo ki te sòti nan Caphtor, te detwi yo, e te vin viv nan plas yo.)
24 "Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the Valley of the Arnon: look, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land; begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
“Leve, pati, e pase nan vale Arnon an. Gade! Mwen te bay Sihon, Amoreyen an, wa a Hesbon avèk peyi pa l nan men nou. Kòmanse pran posesyon an e atake li pou fè lagè.
25 This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the peoples who are under the whole sky, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you."
Nan jou sila a, Mwen va kòmanse mete lakrent ak laperèz ou sou pèp toupatou anba syèl yo, ki, lè yo tande rapò a ou menm, yo va tranble e soufri nan laperèz akoz de ou.”
26 I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
“Konsa, Mwen te voye mesaje soti nan dezè a Kedémoth vè Sihon, wa Hesbon an avèk pawòl lapè. Mwen te di:
27 "Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the highway, I will turn neither to the right hand nor to the left.
‘Kite mwen pase nan peyi ou a, Mwen va vwayaje sèlman sou gran chemen an; mwen p ap vire akote ni adwat ni agoch.
28 You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only let me pass through on my feet,
Ou va vann mwen manje pou lajan pou m kab manje; epi ban mwen dlo pou lajan pou m kab bwè. Sèlman, kite mwen pase ladann a pye,
29 as the people of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me; until I shall pass over the Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us."
jis jan ke fis a Esaü ki rete Séir yo ak Moabit ki rete Ar yo te fè pou mwen, jiskaske mwen travèse Jourdain an pou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an.’
30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him; for the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as at this day.
“Men Sihon, wa Hesbon an, pa t dakò kite nou pase nan peyi pa li a; paske SENYÈ a te fè lespri li rèd e kè li di, pou l ta kapab livre li nan men nou, jan ke li ye la jodi a.
31 The LORD said to me, "Look, I have begun to deliver up Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land."
“Senyè a te di mwen: ‘Ou wè, Mwen te deja kòmanse livre Sihon avèk peyi li a nan men ou. Kòmanse okipe ou, pou nou kapab genyen peyi li a.’
32 Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Jahaz.
“Epi Sihon avèk tout pèp li a te parèt pou rankontre nou nan batay nan Jahats la.
33 The LORD our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, and his sons, and all his people.
SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre li bannou, e nou te bat li avèk fis li yo ak tout pèp li a.
34 We took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones; we left none remaining:
Konsa, nou te pran an kaptif tout vil li yo nan tan sa a, e nou te konplètman detwi mesye yo, fanm yo, avèk pitit nan chak vil yo. Nou pa t menm kite youn vivan.
35 only the livestock we took for a prey to ourselves, with the spoil of the cities which we had taken.
Se sèl bèt nou te pran kòm piyaj nou, ak piyaj a vil ke nou te pran an kaptif.
36 From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the valley, even to Gilead, there was not a city too high for us; the LORD our God delivered up all before us:
“Soti nan Aroër ki nan arebò vale Arnon an, epi soti nan vil ki nan vale a, menm pou rive Galaad, pa t gen vil ki te twò wo pou nou. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre yo bannou tout.
37 only to the land of the people of Ammon you did not come near; all the side of the river Jabbok, and the cities of the hill country, and wherever the LORD our God forbade us.
Sèlman, nou pa t pwoche teritwa fis a Ammon yo, toupatou akote rivyè Jabbok la ak vil peyi mòn yo, ak nenpòt kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te enpeche nou antre.”
