Joshua 1
1 Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, that Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' chief assistant, 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, cross over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them—to the people 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 where the sole of your foot will walk. I have given it to you, just as I promised to 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 Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea, where the sun goes down, will be your land.
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 one will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not abandon you or leave 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 courageous. You will cause this people to inherit the land that I promised their ancestors I would give to 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 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may be successful 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 You will always speak about this book of the law. You will meditate on it day and night so that you can obey all that is written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
“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 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. Yahweh 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 leaders of the people,
Konsa, Josué te kòmande ofisye pèp yo. Li te di:
11 “Go through the camp and command the people, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves. In three days you will cross over this Jordan and go in and possess the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess.'”
“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 To the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
A Ribenit yo avèk Gadit yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a, Josué te di:
13 “Call to mind the word that Moses the servant of Yahweh, commanded you when he said, 'Yahweh your God is giving you rest, and he is giving 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 will stay in the land that Moses gave you beyond the Jordan. But your fighting men will go over with your brothers and 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 Yahweh has given your brothers rest just as he has given it to you. Then they also will take possession of the land Yahweh your God gives them. Then you will return to your own land and possess it, the land that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan, where the sun rises.”
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 Then 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 We will obey you just as we obeyed Moses. Only may Yahweh 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 commands and disobeys your words will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous.”
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.”
