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,
Alò, li te vin rive ke apre lanmò Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a te pale avèk Josué, fis a Nun nan, sèvitè Moïse la. Li te di:
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.
“Moïse, sèvitè Mwen an, gen tan mouri. Pou sa, leve, travèse Jourdain sila a, ou menm avèk tout pèp sa a, nan peyi ke Mwen ap bay a yo menm, a fis Israël yo.
3 I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will tread on, as I told Moses.
“Chak kote ke pla pye ou va pile, Mwen ap ba ou li, jis jan ke Mwen te pale a Moïse la.
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.
Soti nan dezè a ak Liban sila a, menm jis rive nan gran rivyè a, Rivyè Lefrat la, tout peyi Etyen an, jis rive nan Gran Lamè a vè solèy kouche a va teritwa pa nou.
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.
Nanpwen moun ki kapab kanpe devan ou pandan tout jou lavi ou. Menm jan ke Mwen te avèk Moïse la, Mwen va avèk ou. Mwen p ap fè bak ni abandone 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.
Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj, paske ou va bay pèp sa a posesyon a peyi ke Mwen te sèmante a zansèt yo pou M ba 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.
“Sèlman rete fò avèk anpil kouraj; fè atansyon pou fè tout sa lalwa ke Moïse, sèvitè Mwen an, te kòmande ou fè a. Pa vire ni adwat ni agoch, pou ou kapab reyisi nenpòt kote ke ou ale.
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.
“Liv lalwa sila a pa pou janm kite bouch ou, men ou va reflechi sou li lajounen kon lannwit, pou ou kapab fè atansyon pou fè tout sa ki ekri ladann; paske konsa, ou va fè chemen ou yo pwospere e konsa, yo va byen reyisi.
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.
“Èske mwen pa t kòmande ou? Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj! Pa tranble ni enkyete, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, avèk ou nenpòt kote ou ale.”
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Konsa, Josué te kòmande ofisye pèp yo. Li te di:
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.'"
“Pase nan mitan kan an e kòmande pèp la pou di yo: ‘Prepare pwovizyon nou. Paske nan twa jou, nou va travèse Jourdain sila a, pou antre pran peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou pou posede a.’”
12 Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
A Ribenit yo avèk Gadit yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a, Josué te di:
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.
“Sonje pawòl ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te kòmande nou, lè l te di: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou repo, e Li va bannou peyi sa a.
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 yo, pitit nou yo ak bèt nou yo va rete nan peyi ke Moïse te bannou lòtbò Jourdain an; men nou va travèse devan frè nou yo, prepare an lòd batay la, tout sòlda vanyan nou yo e ou va bay yo soutyen,
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.'"
jiskaske SENYÈ a bay frè nou yo repo, tankou nou, epi yo menm tou, yo posede peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bay yo a. Epi nan lè sa a, nou va retounen nan pwòp teren pa nou an, e posede sa ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te bannou lòtbò Jourdain an, vè solèy leve a.’”
16 They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
Yo te reponn Josué e te di: “Tout sa ke ou te kòmande nou, nou va fè l, epi nenpòt kote ke ou voye nou, nou va ale.
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.
Jis jan ke nou te obeyi Moïse nan tout bagay la, konsa nou va obeyi ou. Sèlman ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab avèk ou tankou Li te avèk Moïse 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."
Nenpòt moun ki fè rebèl kont lòd ou, e ki pa obeyi pawòl ou yo nan tout sa ou kòmande li fè yo, li va vin mete a lanmò. Sèlman, kenbe fèm e pran kouraj.”
