Joshua 1
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, 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, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, even to the children 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 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given to you, as I said 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 this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the setting of the sun, shall 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 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
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 of a good courage: for to this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers to give 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 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper wherever thou goest.
“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 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate in it day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written in it: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
“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 not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee wherever thou goest.
“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 officers of the people, saying,
Konsa, Josué te kòmande ofisye pèp yo. Li te di:
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
“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 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,
A Ribenit yo avèk Gadit yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a, Josué te di:
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given 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 cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, 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 the LORD shall have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’S servant gave you on this side of Jordan toward the sunrising.
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 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and wherever thou sendest 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 According as we hearkened to Moses in all things, so will we hearken to thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, 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 Every one that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken to thy words in all that thou commandest him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
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.”
