Joshua 10
1 Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Adoni-Tsédek, wa Jérusalem nan te tande ke Josué te kapte Aï e te detwi li nèt (jis jan ke li te fè Jéricho avèk wa li a, konsa li te fè Aïavèk wa li a), e ke pèp Gabaon an te fè lapè avèk Israël e yo te rete nan mitan yo,
2 Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
ke li te vin pè anpil, akoz Gabaon te yon gran vil tankou youn nan vil wayal yo, epi akoz li te pi gran ke Aï e tout gason li yo te pwisan.
3 So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
Pou sa, Adoni-Tsédek, wa Jérusalem nan te voye Hoham, wa Hébron an ak Piream, wa Jarmuth ak Japhia, wa Lakis avèk Debir, wa Eglon an, e te di:
4 In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
“Vin monte kote mwen pou ede m. Annou atake Gabaon, paske yo te fè lapè avèk Josué e avèk fis Israël yo.”
5 So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
Konsa, senk wa Amoreyen yo, wa Jérusalem nan, wa Hébron an, wa Jarmuth lan, wa Lakis la ak wa Eglon an te monte, yo menm avèk tout lame yo, yo te fè kan akote Gabaon pou te goumen kont li.
6 So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
Mesye Gabaon yo te voye kote Josué kote kan Guilgal la, e te di: “Pa abandone sèvitè ou yo; vin monte kote nou pou ede nou; paske tout wa Amoreyen ki rete nan peyi kolin yo te vin rasanble kont nou.”
7 So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
Alò, Josué te monte soti Guilgal, li menm ansanm ak tout moun lagè yo ak tout gèrye vanyan yo.
8 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Pa pè yo, paske Mwen te mete yo nan men ou. Pa menm youn nan yo va kanpe devan ou.”
9 Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
Konsa, Josué te parèt sou yo sibitman akoz yo te mache nan nwit lan soti Guilgal.
10 They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
Epi SENYÈ a te fè yo fè dega devan Israël. Li te touye yo avèk yon gwo masak nan Gabaon, Li te kouri dèyè yo nan chemen pant Beth-Horon e Li te frape yo jis rive Azéka, avèk Makkéda.
11 As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
Pandan yo t ap sove ale devan Israël, pandan yo t ap desann pant Beth-Horon an, SENYÈ a te voye gwo wòch sòti nan syèl la sou yo jis rive Azéka, e yo te mouri. Pifò nan yo te mouri akoz gwo lagrèl ke sila ke fis Israël yo te touye avèk lam nepe yo.
12 On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
Konsa, Josué te pale avèk SENYÈ a nan jou ke SENYÈ a te livre Amoreyen yo devan fis Israël yo. Li te pale devan tout zye a fis Israël yo: “O solèy, kanpe an plas sou Gabaon! Epi lalin nan, rete la, nan vale Ajalon!”
13 And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
Alò, solèy la te kanpe e lalin nan pa t deplase Jiskaske nasyon an te fè revandikasyon an yo menm, sou lènmi yo. Èske sa pa ekri nan liv Jaser a? Solèy la te rete nan mitan syèl la e li pa t deplase pandan anviwon yon jou konplè.
14 On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
Pa t gen jou tankou sila a ni devan li, ni apre li, lè SENYÈ a te koute vwa a yon moun; paske SENYÈ a te goumen pou Israël.
15 After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te retounen nan kan an Guilgal.
16 While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
Men senk wa sila yo te sove ale pou te kache kò yo nan gwòt Makkéda a.
17 Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
Li te pale a Jousé ke: “Senk wa yo te twouve kache nan gwòt Makkéda a.”
18 When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
Josué te di: “Woule gwo wòch yo kont bouch gwòt la; epi mete mesye yo veye l,
19 But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
men pa rete nou menm. Swiv lènmi nou yo pou atake yo pa dèyè. Pa kite yo antre nan vil yo, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre yo nan men nou.”
20 So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
Li te vin rive ke lè Josué avèk fis Israël yo te fin touye yo avèk yon gwo masak, jiskaske yo tout te fin detwi e sila ki te chape yo, yo te antre nan vil fòtifye yo,
21 Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
pou tout pèp la te retounen nan kan an kote Josué nan Makkéda anpè. Pèsòn pa t pale yon mo kont fis Israël yo.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
Epi Jousé te di: “Ouvri bouch gwòt la e mennen senk wa sa yo sòti nan gwòt la.”
23 So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
Se konsa yo te fè, yo te mennen senk wa sila yo soti deyò gwòt la: wa Jérusalem nan, wa Hébron an, wa Jarmuth lan, wa Lakis la ak wa Eglon an.
24 When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
Lè yo te mennen wa sa yo sòti kote Josué, Josué te rele tout mesye Israël yo. Li te di a chèf gèrye yo ki te ale avèk l, “Vin mete pye nou sou kou a wa sa yo.” Epi yo te vini epou te mete pye yo sou kou yo.
25 Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
Epi Josué te di yo: “Pa pè, ni dekouraje! Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj, paske konsa SENYÈ a va fè a tout lènmi nou yo lè yo goumen avèk nou.”
26 Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
Epi answit, Josué te frape yo e te mete yo a lanmò, epi te pann yo sou senk pyebwa. Yo te pann sou bwa yo jis rive nan aswè.
27 At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
Li te rive nan lè solèy kouche ke Josué te bay yon kòmand pou yo te desann yo nan pyebwa yo, e jete yo nan gwòt kote yo te kache kò yo a. Yo te mete gwo wòch sou bouch gwòt la, ki la jis jodi a.
28 That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
Alò, Josué te kaptire Makkéda nan jou sa a. Li te frape l, ansanm ak wa li a avèk lam nepe. Li te konplètman detwi li ak tout moun ki te ladann. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan. Konsa li te fè a wa Makkéda a, jis jan ke li te fè a wa Jéricho a.
29 That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
Epi Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te pase soti Makkéda a Libna pou te goumen kont Libna.
30 Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
SENYÈ a te bay Libna tou ansanm ak wa li nan men Israël. Li te frape li ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan ladann. Konsa li te fè a wa a li menm bagay ke li te fè a wa Jéricho a.
31 Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te pase soti nan Libna a Lakis. Yo te fè kan kontra li e te goumen kont li.
32 On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
SENYÈ a te bay Lakis nan men Israël. Li te kaptire li nan dezyèm jou a. Li te frape li ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe, jis jan ke li te fè a Libna a.
33 King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
Alò Horam, wa Guézer a, te monte pou ede Lakis. Jousé te bat li ak pèp li a jiskaske li pa t kite moun vivan.
34 Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël te kite Lakis pou Églon; Yo te fè kan kontra li e te goumen kont li.
35 On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
Yo te kaptire li nan jou sila a e te frape li avèk lam nepe. Nan jou sa a, li te konplètman detwi tout moun ki te ladann, jis jan li te fè a Lakis la.
36 Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
Alò, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te monte soti Églon a Hébron, epi yo te goumen kont li.
37 and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
Yo te kaptire li, frape li ak wa li a avèk tout vil li yo ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan, jis jan li te fè Eglon an. Li te konplètman detwi li avèk tout moun ki te ladann.
38 Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
Epi Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te retounen a Debir pou yo te goumen kont li.
39 They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
Li te kaptire li avèk wa li a, ak tout vil li yo. Yo te frape yo avèk lam nepe e te detwi yo nèt tout moun ladann. Li pa t kite moun vivan. Jis jan ke li te fè Hébron an, konsa li te fè Debir avèk wa li a e li te osi fè nan Libna avèk wa li a.
40 That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
Konsa, Josué te frape tout peyi a, peyi kolin yo avèk Negev la ak bas plèn nan avèk pant yo ak tout wa yo. Li pa t kite moun vivan, men li te konplètman detwi tout moun ki te gen souf lavi, jis jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, te kòmande a.
41 Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
Josué te frape yo soti Kadès-Barnéa, jis rive Gaza.
42 At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
Jousé te kaptire tout wa sila yo avèk peyi yo nan yon sèl kou, akoz SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, te goumen pou Israël.
43 Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
Epi Josué ak tout Israël avèk li te retounen nan kan Guilgal la.
