Judges 1
1 And it came to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying, —Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites, first, to make war upon them?
Alò, li vin rive apre lanmò Josué ke fis Israël yo fè yon demann SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Kilès ki va premye pou vin monte pou nou kont Kananeyen yo pou goumen kont yo?”
2 And Yahweh said—Judah, shall go, —lo! I have delivered the land into his power.
SENYÈ a te reponn: “Juda va monte. Veye byen, Mwen te mete peyi a nan men l.”
3 Then said Judah, unto Simeon his brother—Come up with me into the territory allotted me, and let us make war on the Canaanites, then will, I also, go with thee, into thy territory. So Simeon went with him.
Konsa, Juda te di a Siméon, frè li: “Vini avè m nan teren ki te vin tonbe pou mwen an, pou nou kapab goumen kont Kananeyen yo. Epi lè nou retounen, mwen va ale avè w nan teren pa w la.” Konsa Siméon te ale avèk li.
4 And Judah went up, and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, —and they smote them in Bezek, ten thousand men.
Juda te monte e SENYÈ a te livre Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo nan men yo. Yo te bat di-mil lòm Bézek.
5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek, and fought with him, —and smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Yo te rankontre Adoni Bézek nan Bézek. Yo te goumen kont li, e yo te bat Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo.
6 But Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued him, —and took him, and cut off his thumbs, and his great toes.
Men Adoni Bézek te sove ale. Yo te kouri dèyè li pou te kenbe li e yo te koupe pous li avèk gwo zòtèy li.
7 Then said Adoni-bezek—Seventy kings, with their thumbs and great toes cut off, have been picking up crumbs under my table, as I have done, so, hath God requited me. And they brought him into Jerusalem, and he died there.
Adoni Bézek te di: “Swasann-dis wa avèk pous avèk gwo zòtèy koupe te konn ranmase manje anba tab mwen. Jan ke m te konn fè a, konsa Bondye te rekonpanse mwen.” Konsa, yo te mennen li Jérusalem e la, li te mouri.
8 And the sons of Judah made war upon Jerusalem, and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, —and, the city, they set on fire.
Alò, fis Juda yo te goumen kont Jérusalem. Yo te kaptire li. Yo te frape li avèk lam nepe e yo te mete dife nan vil la.
9 And, afterwards, the sons of Judah went down to make war upon the Canaanites, —dwelling in the hill country, and in the south, and in the lowland.
Apre, fis a Juda yo te desann pou goumen kont Kananeyen ki te rete nan peyi ti kolin yo ak nan Negev la ak nan ba plèn nan.
10 And Judah went against the Canaanites who were dwelling in Hebron, now, the name of Hebron, formerly, was Kiriath-arba, —and they smote Sheshai and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Konsa, Juda te ale kont Kananeyen ki te rete Hébron yo (alò, non Hébron avan an se te Kirjath-Arba.) Yo te frape Schéschaï avèk Ahiman ak Talmaï.
11 And he went from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir, —now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath-sepher.
Soti la, li te ale kont sila ki te rete Debir yo. (Alò, non Debir se te Kirjath-Sépher)
12 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah my daughter, to wife.
Epi Caleb te di: “Sila ki atake Kirjath-Sépher e ki kaptire li a; a li menm, mwen va bay fi mwen an, Acsa kòm madanm li.”
13 Then Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it, —and he gave him Achsah his daughter, to wife.
Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, pi jèn frè a Caleb la te kaptire li. Konsa, li te ba li fi li a kòm madanm.
14 And it came pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto her—What aileth thee?
Epi li te vin rive ke lè Acsa te vin kote li, ke li te konvenk li mande papa li yon chan. Li te desann bourik li, e Caleb te di: “Kisa ou vle?”
15 And she said unto him—Give me a present; for, south land, hast thou given me, give me therefore pools of water. So Caleb gave her Upper-pools, and Lower-pools.
Li te di li: “Beni mwen. Akoz ou te ban mwen peyi nan Negev la, ban m sous dlo yo tou.” Konsa, Caleb te ba li sous piwo avèk sous piba yo.
16 Now, the sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, had come up from the city of palm-trees, with the sons of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad, —so they went and dwelt with the people.
Desandan Kenyen yo, bòpè Moïse la, te monte soti nan vil pal yo avèk fis Juda yo. Yo soti nan dezè a Juda ki vè sid Arad la, epi yo te monte pou rete avèk pèp sila yo.
17 Then went Judah, with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites dwelling in Zephath, —and devoted it to destruction, and the name of the city was called Hormah.
Konsa, Juda te ale avèk Siméon, frè li a, e yo te frape Kananeyen ki te rete Tsephath yo. Yo te detwi li nèt. Konsa, non a vil la te rele Horma.
18 And Judah captured Gaza with the boundaries thereof, and Ashkelon, with the boundaries thereof, —and Ekron, with the boundaries thereof.
Anplis, Juda te pran Gaza avèk teritwa ki te pou li a, ak Askalon avèk teritwa pa li a, ak Ékron avèk teritwa pa li a.
19 And it same to pass that Yahweh was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, —but did not dispossess the inhabitants of the vale, because they had, chariots of iron.
Alò SENYÈ a te avèk Juda, e te chase met dèyo tout sa yo ki te viv nan peyi ti kolin yo. Men yo pa t ka chase mete deyò pèp ki te rete nan vale yo, akoz yo te gen cha yo ki te fèt an fè.
20 So they gave unto Caleb Hebron, as spake Moses, —and he drave out from thence the three sons of Anak.
Alò, yo te bay Hébron a Caleb, jan Moïse te pwomèt yo a; epi li te chase fè sòti twa fis Anak yo.
21 But, the Jebusites dwelling in Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin did not drive out, —but the Jebusites have dwelt with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, unto this day.
Men fis a Benjamin yo pa t chase mete Jebizyen ki te rete nan Jérusalem yo deyò. Pou sa, Jebizyen yo te rete pami fis Benjamin yo jis rive jodi a.
22 Then went up the house of Joseph—they also, —unto Bethel, —and, Yahweh, was with them.
Menm jan an, lakay Joseph te monte kont Béthel e SENYÈ a te avèk yo.
23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel, —now, the name of the city, formerly, was, Luz.
Lakay Joseph te fè espyonaj Béthel. Alò, vil sa, avan lè te rele Luz.
24 So the watchers saw a man, coming forth from the city, —and they said unto him—Shew us, we pray thee, the way to get into the city, and we will deal with thee, in lovingkindness.
Espyon yo te wè yon nonm ki t ap sòti nan vil la. Yo te di li: “Souple, montre nou kote pou nou antre nan vil la, e nou va fè ou gras.”
25 And he shewed them the way to get into the city, and they smote the city, with the edge of the sword, —but, the man and all his family, they let go.
Konsa, li te montre yo antre vil la e yo te frape vil la avèk lam nepe. Men yo te kite mesye sa a, ak tout fanmi li an libète.
26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, —and built a city, and called the name thereof, Luz, that, is the name thereof, unto this day.
Mesye sila a te antre nan peyi Etyen yo. Li te bati yon vil e te ba li non Luz, epi se konsa li rele jis rive jodi a.
27 But Manasseh took not possession of Beth-shean and her towns, nor of Taanach and her towns, nor dispossessed the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam, and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns, —but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this land;
Men Manassé pa t pran posesyon Beth-Schean avèk bouk pa li yo, ni Thannac avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Dor yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Jibleam yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni moun ki te rete Meguiddo avèk bouk pa li yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te kontinye viv nan peyi sa a.
28 when Israel, however, had waxed strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute, —though they, dispossessed, them not.
Li te vin rive ke lè Israël te vin fò, ke yo te fòse Kananeyen yo fè travo fòse, men yo pa t chase yo fè yo sòti nèt.
29 And, Ephraim, dispossessed not the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gezer, —so the Canaanites remained in their midst, in Gezer.
Éphraïm pa t chase fè sòti Kananeyen ki t ap viv Guézer yo, men Kananeyen yo te viv Guézer pami yo.
30 Zebulun, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, —but the Canaanites remained in their midst, and came under tribute.
Zabulon pa t chase fè sòti pèp ki te rete Kitron yo, ni pèp ki te rete Nahalol yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te rete pami yo e te vin sijè a travo fòse.
31 Asher, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, —nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
Aser pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Acco yo, ni pèp a Sidon yo, ni sila a Achlal yo, ni a Heba, ni a Aczib, ni a Rehob yo.
32 but the Asherites dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, —for they dispossessed them not.
Konsa, Aserit yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a. Paske, yo pa t chase mete yo deyò.
33 Naphtali, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but they dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, —and, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, and of Beth-anath, became theirs, under tribute.
Nephtali pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Beth-Schémesch yo, ni pèp a Beth-anath yo. Men yo te viv pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a, epi pèp peyi Beth-Schémesch avèk Beth-Anath yo te vin fè travo fòse pou yo.
34 And the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, —for they suffered them not to come down into the vale;
Konsa, Amoreyen yo te pouse fis a Dan yo antre nan peyi ti kolin yo, epi te anpeche yo antre nan vale a.
35 and, though the Amorites were determined to remain in the hill country of Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, yet was the hand of the house of Joseph heavy, so that they came under tribute.
Malgre sa, Amoreyen yo te pèsiste rete nan Mòn Hérès, nan Ajalon ak nan Schaalbim. Men lè pouvwa kay Joseph la te vin fò, yo te oblije fè travo fòse.
36 And, the boundary of the Amorites, was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upwards.
Lizyè a Amoreyen yo te kouri soti nan monte Akrabim nan, soti Séla pou monte piwo.
