Joshua 9
1 And it was when heard all the kings who [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan in the hill country and in the Shephelah and in all [the] coast of the sea great to [the] front of Lebanon the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] the Canaanite[s] the Perizzite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
Nouvèl bagay sa yo rive nan zòrèy tout wa ki t'ap gouvènen lòt bò larivyè Jouden an sou solèy kouche, nan mòn yo, nan plenn yo, sou tout rivaj lanmè Mediterane a, jouk peyi Liban sou bò nò. Te gen wa moun Et yo, wa moun Amori yo, wa moun Kanaran yo, wa moun Ferezi yo, wa moun Evi yo ak wa moun Jebis yo.
2 And they gathered together all together to wage war with Joshua and with Israel mouth one.
Yo tout yo mete tèt ansanm pou yo goumen kont Jozye ak pèp Izrayèl la.
3 And [the] inhabitants of Gibeon they heard [that] which he had done Joshua to Jericho and to Ai.
Lè moun peyi Gabawon yo vin konnen kisa Jozye te fè moun Jeriko yo ak moun Ayi yo,
4 And they acted also they with cunning and they went and they acted as ambassadors and they took sacks worn out for donkeys their and skin-bottles of wine worn out and split and tied up.
yo di yo pral pran li nan plan. Yo leve, yo fè pwovizyon, yo chaje bourik yo avèk yon bann vye sak ak veso fèt ak po bèt pou mete diven. Veso yo te tou kreve, yo te pyese nan tout kò yo. Moun Gabawon yo pati.
5 And sandals worn out and patched [were] on feet their and garments worn out [were] on them and all [the] bread of provision[s] their it was dried up it was crumbs.
Yo te menm rive mete vye sapat rapyese nan pye yo ak vye rad chire sou yo. Yo pran pen rasi kraze an miyèt moso, yo pote pou manje yo.
6 And they went to Joshua to the camp Gilgal and they said to him and to [the] man of Israel from a land distant we have come and therefore make to us a covenant.
Yo pati, yo vin jwenn Jozye nan kan Gilgal la. Yo pale ak li ansanm ak mesye pèp Izrayèl yo, yo di yo konsa: -Nou soti nan yon peyi ki byen lwen isit la. Ann pase yon kontra yonn ak lòt non!
7 (And he said *Q(K)*) [the] man of Israel to the Hivite[s] perhaps in midst my you [are] dwelling and how? (will I make *Q(k)*) to you a covenant.
Men, mesye pèp Izrayèl yo di moun Evi yo konsa: -Pou di se pa toupre la a nou rete? Ki jan nou ta vle pou nou pase kontra ak nou?
8 And they said to Joshua [are] servants your we and he said to them Joshua who? [are] you and from where? do you come.
Moun Evi yo di Jozye: -Se sèvi nou vin sèvi ou! Jozye mande yo: -Men, ki moun nou ye menm? Ki bò nou soti?
9 And they said to him from a land distant very they have come servants your to [the] name of Yahweh God your for we have heard [the] report of him and all that he did in Egypt.
Yo reponn li: -Mèt, nou soti nan yon peyi byen lwen, paske nou tande pale ki moun Seyè a, Bondye ou la, ye. Nou pran nouvèl tou sa li fè nan peyi Lejip,
10 And - all that he did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon [the] king of Heshbon and to Og [the] king of Bashan who [was] in Ashtaroth.
ak tou sa li fè de wa moun Amori yo ki t'ap gouvènen lòt bò larivyè Jouden an: Siyon, wa peyi Esbon an ak Og, wa peyi Bazan an, ki te rete lavil Astawòt.
11 And they said to us elders our and all [the] inhabitants of land our saying take in hand your provision[s] for the journey and go to meet them and you will say to them [are] servants your we and therefore make to us a covenant.
Lè sa a, chèf nou yo ak tout moun ki rete nan peyi nou an di nou fè pwovizyon pou n' al vwayaje al kontre moun sa yo. N'a di yo konsa men nou vin sèvi yo. Tanpri, pase yon kontra ak nou.
12 This - bread our warm we took as our provisions it from homes our on [the] day came out we to come to you and now here! it has dried up and it has been crumbs.
Gade pen nou rete. Yo te tou cho jou nou pati vin kontre nou an. Men, koulye a, gade jan yo rasi, jan yo tounen ti miyèt.
13 And these [the] skin-bottles of wine which we filled new and here! they have split and these garments our and sandals our they have worn out from [the] greatness of the journey very.
Lè nou te plen veso diven sa yo, yo te tou nèf. Gade koulye a jan yo plen twou. Gade jan rad nou ak sapat nou fini tèlman nou mache anpil.
14 And they took the men some of provision[s] their and [the] mouth of Yahweh not they asked.
Chèf pèp Izrayèl yo pran nan sa yo te pote a, san yo pa mande Seyè a sa li di nan sa.
15 And he made to them Joshua peace and he made to them a covenant to let live them and they swore an oath to them [the] leaders of the congregation.
Jozye pase yon kontra ak yo pou yo viv byen yonn ak lòt, li fè kontra ak yo pou li pa touye yo. Chèf pèp Izrayèl yo fè sèman yo p'ap fè yo anyen.
16 And it was from [the] end of three days after that they had made to them a covenant and they heard that [were] near they to him and in midst his they [were] dwelling.
Twa jou apre yo te fin siyen kontra a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin konnen moun sa yo te rete toupre a, nan mitan peyi Izrayèl la.
17 And they set out [the] people of Israel and they came to cities their on the day third and cities their [were] Gibeon and Kephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo leve, yo pati dèyè yo. Sou twa jou, yo rive nan lavil kote moun sa yo te rete a. Se te lavil Gabawon, lavil Kefira, lavil Beewòt ak Keryat-Jearim.
18 And not they attacked them [the] people of Israel for they had sworn an oath to them [the] leaders of the congregation by Yahweh [the] God of Israel and they grumbled all the congregation on the leaders.
Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa t' ka touye yo, paske chèf moun Izrayèl yo te fè sèman ba yo nan non Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, yo p'ap fè yo anyen. Lè sa a, tout pèp Izrayèl la t'ap bougonnen sou do chèf yo pou sa.
19 And they said all the leaders to all the congregation we we have sworn an oath to them by Yahweh [the] God of Israel and therefore not we are able to touch them.
Men, chèf yo reyini tout moun, yo di yo: -Depi nou fè sèman ba yo nan non Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, nou pa gen dwa manyen yo.
20 This we will do to them and we will let live them and not it will be towards us wrath on the oath which we swore to them.
Konsa, poutèt sèman nou te fè a, se pou nou kite yo viv. Paske, si nou fè yo anyen, Bondye va pini nou.
21 And they said to them the leaders let them live and they were cutters of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation just as they had spoken to them the leaders.
Wi, se pou yo viv. Men, n'a pran yo pou fann bwa, pou bwote dlo pou nou jan chèf yo te di a.
22 And he summoned them Joshua and he spoke to them saying why? did you deceive us saying [are] distant we from you very and you in midst our [are] dwelling.
Jozye fè chache moun Gabawon yo, li mande yo: -Poukisa nou ban nou gwo manti sa a? Nou di nou rete byen lwen, epi se la a, nan mitan nou, nou moun.
23 And therefore [are] cursed you and not he will be cut off from you a slave and cutters of wood and drawers of water for [the] house of God my.
Poutèt sa, madichon ap tonbe sou nou. N'ap toujou sèvi nou domestik. Depi jòdi a, se nou menm ki pou fann bwa, ki pou bwote dlo nou bezwen pou kay Bondye nou an.
24 And they answered Joshua and they said that certainly it was told to servants your this: he had commanded Yahweh God your Moses servant his to give to you all the land and to destroy all [the] inhabitants of the land from before you and we were afraid very for lives our because of you and we did the thing this.
Yo reponn: -Mèt, nou te fè sa paske nou te vin konnen se tout bon Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te bay Moyiz, sèvitè l' la, lòd pou li ba yo tout peyi sa a, pou li touye tout pèp ki rete ladan l' pou fè plas pou yo. Konsa, lè nou vin konnen nou t'ap pwoche bò kote nou rete a, nou te pè anpil pou nou pa t' mouri. Se sa ki fè nou te fè sa.
25 And therefore here we [are] in hand your according to the good and according to the right in view your to do to us do.
Koulye a, nou nan men ou! W'a fè sa ou vle ak nou, jan ou santi ou dwe fè l' la.
26 And he did to them thus and he delivered them from [the] hand of [the] people of Israel and not they killed them.
Se konsa Jozye delivre yo anba men moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li pa kite yo touye yo.
27 And he made them Joshua on the day that cutters of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for [the] altar of Yahweh until the day this to the place which he will choose.
Depi jou sa a, Jozye mete yo la pou fann bwa, pou bwote dlo pou pèp Izrayèl la ak pou lotèl Seyè a. Jouk jòdi a, se sa y'ap fè tout kote Seyè a chwazi pou yo adore l' la.
