Joshua 9
1 And whanne these thingis weren herd, alle the kyngis biyende Jordan, that lyueden in the hilly places, and in `the feeldi places, in the coostis of the see, and in the brynke of the greet see, and thei that dwellen bisidis Liban, Ethei, and Ammorrei, Cananei, and Feresey, Euey, and Jebusey,
Alò, lè tout wa ki te lòtbò Jourdain nan peyi kolin yo, nan peyi ba plèn ak nan tout kot Gran Lamè a bò kote Liban, Etyen an, avèk Amoreyen an, Kananeyen an, Ferezyen an Evyen an ak Jebizyen an te tande koze sa,
2 weren gaderid togidere to fiyte ayens Josue and Israel, with o wille, and the same sentence.
yo te reyini ansanm avèk yon sèl bi pou goumen avèk Josué e avèk Israël.
3 And thei that dwelten in Gabaon, herden alle thingis whiche Josue hadde do to Jerico, and to Hay; and thei thouyten felli,
Lè pèp la nan Gabaon te tande sa ke Josué te fè ak Jéricho avèk Aï,
4 and token to hem silf metis, and puttyden elde sackis on assis, and wyn botels brokun and sewid, and ful elde schoon,
yo menm, osi, yo te aji avèk riz. Yo te pati kòm reprezantan a pèp la. Yo te mete vye makout sou bourik yo, avèk ansyen kwi diven epwize ki te chire e rekoud,
5 whiche weren sewid togidere with patchis, to `the schewyng of eldenesse; and thei weren clothid with elde clothis; also looues, whiche thei baren for lijflode in the weie, weren harde and brokun in to gobetis.
avèk sapat ki te epwize e ranje nan pye yo, rad epwize sou yo menm avèk sèlman pen sèk e menm kanni.
6 And thei yeden to Josue, that dwellide thanne in tentis in Galgala; and thei seiden to hym, and to al Israel togidere, We comen fro a fer lond, and coueyten to make pees with you. And the men of Israel answeriden to hem,
Yo te ale kote Josué nan kan an nan Guilgal, e yo te di a li menm avèk mesye Israël yo: “Nou sòti nan yon peyi byen lwen. Konsa, fè yon akò avèk nou.”
7 and seiden, Lest perauenture ye dwellen in the lond, which is due to vs bi eritage, and we moun not make bond of pees with you.
Mesye Israël yo te di a Evyen yo: “Petèt ou rete touprè nou: donk, kijan nou kap fè akò avèk ou?”
8 And thei seiden to Josue, We ben thi seruauntis. To whiche Josue seide, What men ben ye, and fro whennus camen ye?
Men yo te di Josué: “Nou se sèvitè ou.” Alò, Josué te di yo: “Ki moun nou ye e kibò nou sòti?”
9 Thei answeriden, Thi seruauntis camen fro a ful fer lond in the name of thi Lord God, for we herden the fame of his power, alle thingis whiche he dide in Egipt,
Yo te di li: “Sèvitè ou yo te sòti nan yon peyi byen lwen, akoz repitasyon a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; paske nou te tande rapò a Li menm ak tout sa ke Li te fè an Égypte yo,
10 and to twei kyngis of Ammorreis biyendis Jordan; to Seon king of Esebon, and to Og kyng of Basan, that weren in Astroth.
ak tout sa Li te fè a wa Amoreyen yo ki te lòtbò Jourdain an, a Sihon, wa Hesbon an ak Og, wa Basan an, ki te Ashtaroth.
11 And the eldere men and alle the dwelleris of oure lond seiden to vs, Take ye metis in youre hondis, for lengeste weie; and go ye to hem, and seie ye, We ben youre seruauntis; make ye boond of pees with vs.
Pou sa, tout ansyen nou yo avèk tout abitan a peyi nou yo te pale nou e te di: ‘Mete pwovizyon nan men nou pou vwayaj la. Ale rankontre yo e di yo: “Nou se sèvitè ou; alò, fè yon akò avèk nou.”’
12 And we token hoote looues, whanne we yeden out of oure housis to come to you; now tho ben maad drye and brokun, for greet eldenesse;
Sa se pen nou e li te cho lè nou te pran li pou pwovizyon nou e sòti lakay nou nan jou ke nou te pati pou vin kote ou a, men koulye a, gade, li rasi.
13 we filliden newe botels of wyn; now tho ben brokun and vndoon; the clothis and schoon, with whiche we ben clothid, and whiche we han `in the feet, ben brokun and almost wastid, fro the lengthe of lengere weie.
Kwi diven sa yo lè nou te plen yo, yo te tounèf; epi gade, yo vin chire. Epi rad nou avèk sapat nou epwize akoz vwayaj la ki te tèlman long.”
14 Therfor `the sones of Israel token of the metis of hem, and thei axiden not `the mouth of the Lord.
Konsa, mesye Israël yo te aksepte pran nan pwovizyon yo, e yo pa t mande SENYÈ a konsèy.
15 And Josue made pees with hem. And whanne the boond of pees was maad, he bihiyte, that thei schulden not be slayn; and the princes of the multitude sworen to hem.
Josué te fè lapè avèk yo. Li te fè yon akò avèk yo pou lese yo viv, epi dirijan kongregasyon an te sèmante yon ve ak yo.
16 Forsothe aftir thre daies of the boond of pees maad, thei herden, that thei dwelliden in nyy place, and that thei schulden be among hem.
Li te vin rive nan fen twa jou yo, lè yo te fin fè akò avèk yo, ke yo te tande ke yo te vwazen ki te rete nan peyi yo.
17 And the sones of Israel mouyden tentis, and camen in the thridde dai in to the citees of hem, of whiche citees these ben the names; Gabaon, and Caphira, and Beroth, and Cariathiarym.
Alò, fis Israël yo te deplase, e te vin kote vil yo a nan twazyèm jou a. Vil yo te: Gabaon, Kephira, Beéroth ak Kirjath-Jearim.
18 And thei smytiden not hem, for the princis of the multitude hadden swore to hem in the name of the Lord God of Israel. Therfor al the comyn puple grutchide ayens the princis of Israel;
Fis Israël yo pa t frape yo akoz dirijan kongregasyon an te sèmante a yo pa SENYÈ a, Bondye a tout Israël la. Epi tout kongregasyon an te plenyen kont dirijan yo.
19 whiche answeriden to hem, We sworen to hem in the name of the Lord God of Israel, and therfor we moun not touche hem;
Men tout dirijan yo te di a tout kongregasyon an: “Nou te sèmante a yo pa SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la. Koulye a, nou pa kapab touche yo.
20 but we schulen do this thing to hem, sotheli be thei reserued that thei lyue, lest the ire of the Lord be stirid ayens vs, if we forsweren to hem;
Men kisa nou va fè yo; kite yo viv pou kòlè pa vin sou nou pou ve ke nou sèmante a yo a.”
21 but so lyue thei, that thei hewe trees, and bere watris, in to the vsis of al the multitude. And while thei spaken these thingis,
Dirijan yo te di a yo menm: “Kite yo viv.” Konsa, yo te vin moun ki pou koupe bwa ak rale dlo pou tout kongregasyon an, jis jan ke dirijan yo te pale yo a.
22 Josue clepide Gabonytis, and seide to hem, Whi wolden ye disseyue vs bi fraude, `that ye seiden, We dwellen ful fer fro you, sithen ye ben in the myddis of vs?
Epi Josué te rele yo pou te pale avèk yo. Li te di: “Poukisa nou te twonpe nou, e di: ‘Nou lwen nou,’ lè vrèman nou ap viv nan mitan peyi nou an?
23 Therfor ye schulen be `vndur cursyng, and noon schal faile of youre generacioun, hewynge trees and berynge watris, in to the hows of my God.
Koulye a, pou sa, nou modi e nou p ap janm sispann jwe wòl kòm esklav, ni pou koupe bwa ni pou rale dlo pou kay Bondye mwen an.”
24 Whiche answeryden, It was told to vs thi seruauntis, that thi Lord God bihiyte to Moises, his seruaunt, that he schulde bitake to you al the lond, and schulde leese alle the dwelleris therof; therfor we dredden greetli, and purueiden to oure lyues, and weren compellid bi youre drede, and we token this counsel.
Alò, yo te reponn Josué e te di: “Akoz li te, anverite, pale a sèvitè ou yo, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te kòmande sèvitè li, Moïse, pou ba ou tout peyi a, e pou detwi tout pèp ki rete nan peyi a devan ou. Konsa, nou te fè gwo perèz pou lavi nou akoz de ou, e nou te fè bagay sa a.
25 `Now forsothe we ben in `thin hond; do thou to vs that, that semeth riytful and good to thee.
Alò, gade, nou nan men ou. Fè avèk nou sa ki sanble bon e jis nan zye ou pou fè nou.”
26 Therfor Josue dide, as he seide, and delyuerede hem fro the hondis of the sones of Israel, that thei schulden not be slayn.
Se konsa, li te fè yo, e te livre yo nan men a fis Israël yo pou yo pa t touye yo.
27 And in that dai Josue demyde hem to be in to the seruyce of al the puple, and of the auter of the Lord, and to hewe trees, and to bere watris, `til in to present tyme, in the place which the Lord hadde chose.
Men Josué te bay yo ransèyman soti nan menm jou sa a, kòm moun ki koupe bwa ak rale dlo pou kongregasyon an ak lotèl SENYÈ a, jis rive nan jou sila, nan plas ke Li ta chwazi a.
