< Joshua 6 >

1 (NOW Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.)
Yo te fèmen tout pòtay lavil Jeriko yo, yo te barikade yo poutèt moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Deyò pa antre, anndan pa soti.
2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Koute. Mwen pral lage lavil Jeriko nan men ou ansanm ak wa a ak tout vanyan sòlda li yo.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Ou menm ak tout sòlda pa ou yo, nou pral mache fè wonn lavil la yon fwa chak jou pandan sis jou.
4 And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
Sèt prèt va mache devan Bwat Kontra a, avèk sèt kòn belye pou kònen, yonn nan men yo chak. Men, setyèm jou a, n'a mache fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa ansanm ak prèt k'ap kònen kòn belye yo.
5 And it shall be, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.
Lè n'a tande yon kout kòn ki trennen, tout pèp la va pran pouse yon sèl rèl byen fò. Miray ranpa lavil la pral tonbe plat atè. Lè sa a, chak moun va mache dwat devan yo sou lavil la.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.
Se konsa, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, rele prèt yo, li di yo: -Leve Bwat Kontra a, mete l' sou zepòl nou. Sèt prèt va mache devan l' avèk kòn belye yo nan men yo.
7 And they said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD.
Apre sa, li di pèp la: -Leve mache! Nou pral fè wonn lavil la. Pòsyon lame ki pou mache devan an va pran devan Bwat Kontra a.
8 And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the LORD passed on, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
Pèp la fè jan Jozye te ba yo lòd fè a. Sèt prèt yo pran devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo t'ap kònen kòn yo.
9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, [the priests] blowing with the trumpets as they went.
Pòsyon lame ki pou mache devan an pran devan prèt ki t'ap kònen yo. Pòsyon lame ki pou mache dèyè a t'ap mache dèyè Bwat Kontra a. Pandan yo t'ap mache konsa, yo t'ap kònen kòn belye yo.
10 And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
Men, Jozye te bay pèp la lòd pou yo pa t' pouse ankenn rèl jan yo te konn fè l' la lè y'ap goumen. Se pou yo tout rete bouch fèmen, san di yon mo, jouk lè l'a ba yo lòd pouse rèl goumen an.
11 So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Prèt yo pati ak Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo fè wonn lavil yon fwa. Apre sa, yo tounen nan kan an epi yo pase nwit lan la.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
Nan denmen maten, Jozye leve, epi prèt yo pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a ankò.
13 And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, [the priests] blowing with the trumpets as they went.
Sèt prèt yo avèk sèt kòn belye yo t'ap mache devan Bwat Kontra a. Yo t'ap kònen. Pòsyon lame ki pou devan an t'ap mache devan yo, pòsyon lame ki pou mache dèyè a t'ap mache dèyè Bwat Kontra a: yo t'ap kònen tout tan yo t'ap mache a.
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
Dezyèm jou a, yo mache fè wonn lavil la ankò yon sèl fwa. Epi yo tounen nan kan yo. Yo fè sa konsa pandan sis jou.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
Sou setyèm jou a, yo leve lè bajou kase, yo mache menm jan an. Men, jou sa a yo fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa. Se jou sa a ase yo te fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
Setyèm fwa a, apre prèt yo fin kònen kòn belye yo, Jozye di pèp la konsa: -Nou mèt rele koulye a! Seyè a lage lavil la nan men nou!
17 And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Nou pral ofri lavil la ak tou sa ki ladan l' tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye. Nou pral touye dènye moun ki ladan l'. Sèl moun ki va rete vivan, se va Rarab, jennès la, ak tout moun ki va lakay li, paske li te kache mesaje nou te voye yo.
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when ye have devoted it, ye take of the devoted thing; so should ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
Men, nou menm, pa mete men nou nan sa nou gen pou nou detwi pou Seyè a. Si nou pran anyen nan sa nou gen pou nou detwi a, n'ap lakòz malè tonbe sou kay moun Izrayèl yo, n'ap lakòz tèt chaje vin pou tout moun.
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
Tout bagay ki fèt an lò, an ajan, an fè osinon an kwiv, n'a mete yo apa pou Seyè a. N'a depoze yo nan depo richès Seyè a.
20 So the people shouted, and [the priests] blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Se konsa, yo kònen kòn belye yo. Tande pèp la tande son kòn belye yo, yo pouse yon sèl gwo rèl, epi miray ranpa lavil la tonbe plat atè. Epi chak moun pran mache dwat devan yo sou lavil la, yo anvayi l'.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Yo ofri tou sa ki nan lavil la bay Seyè a. Avèk nepe yo, yo touye tout moun nan lavil la, fanm kou gason, granmoun kou timoun, tout bèf, tout mouton, tout bourik.
22 And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
Jozye rele de mesye li te voye an kachèt al vizite lavil Jeriko a, li di yo: -Ale lakay jennès la. Fè l' soti ak tout fanmi li, jan nou te pwomèt li a.
23 And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had, all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel.
Se konsa y' ale, yo fè Rarab soti ansanm ak papa l', manman l', frè l' yo, tout rès fanmi l' yo ak tou sa yo te genyen, yo enstale yo yon kote andeyò kan moun Izrayèl yo.
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
Yo mete dife nan lavil la, yo boule l' nèt ak tou sa ki ladan l', an wetan bagay ki te fèt an lò, an ajan, an fè ak an kwiv yo. Yo pran yo, yo pote yo nan depo richès Seyè a.
25 But Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Men, Jozye te sove Rarab, jennès la, ak tout fanmi l' yo ansanm ak tou sa ki pou yo, paske Rarab te kache mesye Jozye te voye espyonnen lavil Jeriko a. Moun fanmi Rarab yo ap viv jouk koulye a nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
26 And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: with the loss of his firstborn shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
Lè sa a, Jozye bay avètisman sa a pou tout moun, li di: -Madichon Bondye pou nenpòt moun ki konprann pou l' ta rebati lavil yo rele Jeriko a. Si yon moun mete men nan fondasyon l' yo, l'ap pèdi premye pitit gason l' lan. Si yon moun remoute pòtay li yo, l'ap pèdi dènye pitit gason l' la.
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Se konsa Seyè a te kanpe la avèk Jozye. Nan tout peyi a yo t'ap nonmen non l'.
