Joshua 1
1 Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,
Apre Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, mouri, Seyè a pale ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ki te aladwat Moyiz nan tou sa li t'ap fè. Li di l' konsa:
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.
-Koulye a, Moyiz, sèvitè m' lan, mouri. Pare kò ou, ou menm ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la. Nou pral janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou nou ka antre nan peyi m'ap ban nou an.
3 I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.
Jan mwen te di Moyiz la, mwen pral ban nou tout peyi kote nou pral mete pye nou an.
4 From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Perath, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border.
Peyi a pral konmanse depi nan dezè a sou bò nan sid, jouk mòn Liban nou wè laba a, nan nò. L'ap pran tout peyi moun Et yo, depi larivyè Lefrat sou bò solèy leve, jouk gwo lanmè a sou bò solèy kouche.
5 No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you nor forsake you.
Pandan tout rès vi ou, pesonn p'ap ka kenbe tèt ak ou. M'ap toujou kanpe la avèk ou, menm jan mwen te toujou la avèk Moyiz. Mwen p'ap vire do ba ou, mwen p'ap janm lage ou.
6 Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
Mete gason sou ou! Pa janm dekouraje, paske se ou menm ki pral fè pèp la antre pran peyi mwen te fè sèman m'ap bay zansèt yo a.
7 Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go.
Wi. Sèl bagay mwen mande ou, se mete gason sou ou, pa janm dekouraje. Veye kò ou pou ou mache dapre tout lòd Moyiz, sèvitè m' lan, te ba ou yo. Pa janm neglije anyen nan sa li te di ou, pou zafè ou ka mache byen kote ou pase.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
Se pou pawòl ki nan liv lalwa a toujou nan bouch ou. Se pou w'ap kalkile yo nan tèt ou lajounen kou lannwit, pou ou ka viv dapre sa ki ekri nan liv la. Se konsa w'a mennen bak ou byen. Tout zafè ou va mache byen.
9 Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Chonje lòd mwen te ba ou! Mete gason sou ou! Pa janm dekouraje! Ou pa bezwen tranble, ou pa bezwen pè, paske Seyè a, Bondye ou la, ap toujou kanpe la avèk ou kote ou pase.
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Lè sa a, Jozye rele tout chèf pèp la. Li ba yo lòd sa a:
11 "Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.'"
-Mache nan tout kan an. Bay pèp la lòd pou yo pare tout zafè yo, paske nan twa jou nou pral janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou nou antre nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou pou peyi pa nou.
12 Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
Apre sa, Jozye pale ak moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo ak moun branch fanmi Gad yo ansanm ak mwatye moun nan branch fanmi Manase a. Li di yo:
13 "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, 'The LORD your God gives you rest, and will give you this land.
-Chonje lòd Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te ban nou lè li te di nou: Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou tè bò isit la pou nou tabli, pou nou viv ak kè poze.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and shall help them
Madanm nou, pitit nou ak tout bèt nou yo pral rete nan peyi Moyiz ban nou sou bò isit larivyè Jouden an, bò solèy leve a. Men, nou menm gason yo, vanyan sòlda, se pou nou pran zam nou nan men nou pou nou mache devan tout rès pèp la, pou nou ka ede yo, si gen nesesite.
15 until the LORD has given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they have also possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"
Lè Seyè a va fin fè yo pran peyi a pou yo, lè l'a fin ba yo yon kote pou yo viv ak kè poze, menm jan li te fè l' pou nou an, se lè sa a atò n'a tounen nan peyi ki pou nou an. Wi, n'a vin rete nan peyi pa nou an, peyi Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te ban nou lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, sou bò solèy leve.
16 They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
Yo tout yo reponn Jozye, yo di l': -Tou sa ou ban nou lòd fè, n'ap fè l'! Kote ou voye nou, nou prale!
17 Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you. Only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
Menm jan nou te toujou obeyi Moyiz, se konsa n'ap obeyi ou tou. Sèl bagay, n'ap lapriyè pou Bondye toujou kanpe avè ou menm jan li te kanpe ak Moyiz la.
18 Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn't listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage."
Se pou yo touye tout moun ki pa dakò ak lòd ou, osinon ki pa vle obeyi lòd ou bay, osinon ki derefize fè sa ou mande yo fè. Sèlman, met gason sou ou! Pa janm dekouraje!
