Judges 2
1 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,
Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te monte soti Guilgal a Bokim. Li te di: “Mwen te mennen nou sòti an Égypte, e Mwen te mennen nou antre nan peyi ke M te sèmante a zansèt nou yo. Epi Mwen te di: ‘Mwen p ap janm kraze akò Mwen avèk nou.
2 and saith, 'I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye — ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land — their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice — what [is] this ye have done?
Konsa, pou nou menm, nou p ap fè okenn akò avèk pèp peyi sila yo. Nou va chire lotèl pa yo.’ Men nou pa t obeyi Mwen. Kisa sa ye ke nou fè la a?
3 And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'
Pou sa, Mwen te di anplis, ‘Mwen p ap pouse yo sòti devan nou, men yo va devni tankou zepin akote nou e dye pa yo va vin yon pèlen pou nou.’”
4 And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
Lè zanj SENYÈ a te pale pawòl sa yo a tout fis Israël yo, pèp la te leve vwa pa yo pou te kriye.
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.
Pou sa, yo te bay plas sa non Bokim, epi la, yo te fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a.
6 And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
Lè Josué te fin fè pèp la ale, fis Israël yo te ale yo chak nan pwòp eritaj pa yo pou posede teren an.
7 and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.
Pèp la te sèvi Josué pandan tout jou a Josué yo e tout jou a ansyen ki te sèvi Josué yo, ki te wè tout gran zèv SENYÈ a te fè pou Israël yo.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,
Epi Josué, fis a Nun nan, Sèvitè SENYÈ a, te mouri nan laj san-dis ane.
9 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of mount Gaash;
Yo te antere li nan teritwa eritaj pa li, nan Thimnath-Hérès nan peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo, vè nò a Mòn Gaasch.
10 and also all that generation have been gathered unto their fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel.
Tout jenerasyon sila a, osi, te vin ranmase vè zansèt pa yo. Konsa, te vin leve yon lòt jenerasyon apre yo ki pa t rekonèt SENYÈ a, ni nonplis zèv ke Li te fè pou Israël yo.
11 And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,
Alò, fis Israël yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, e yo te sèvi Baal yo.
12 and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah,
Yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, ki te mennen yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la pou te swiv lòt dye yo, soti nan dye a pèp ki te antoure yo. Yo te bese yo ba devan yo. Konsa, yo te pwovoke SENYÈ a a lakòlè.
13 yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.
Yo te abandone SENYÈ a pou te sèvi Baal avèk Astarté yo.
14 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;
Lakòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Israël. Li te livre yo nan men a piyajè ki te piyaje yo. Li te vann yo antre nan men a lènmi ki te antoure yo pou yo pa t kab kanpe ankò devan lènmi yo.
15 in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are distressed — greatly.
Nenpòt kote ke yo te ale, men SENYÈ a te kont yo pou mal, jan SENYÈ a te pale yo a, jan Li te sèmante a yo a. Konsa, vrèman yo te vin gen gwo pwoblem.
16 And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
Alò, SENYÈ a te fè leve jij ki te livre yo soti nan men a sila ki t ap piyaje yo.
17 and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah — they have not done so.
Malgre sa, yo pa t koute jij yo, paske yo te fè pwostitiye dèyè lòt dye yo, e te bese yo ba anvè yo. Yo te vire akote byen vit soti nan chemen an nan sila zansèt yo te mache ak obeyisans lòd a SENYÈ yo. Yo pa t fè tankou yo.
18 And when Jehovah raised up to them judges — then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
Lè SENYÈ a te kon fè leve yon jij pou yo, SENYÈ a te avèk jij la, e te delivre pèp la nan men lènmi yo pandan tout jou yo a jij la. Konsa, SENYÈ a te vin gen pitye pou yo akoz sila ki te oprime ak aflije yo.
19 And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge — they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
Men li te kòn rive ke nan lè jij la vin mouri, yo ta vire tounen pou aji pi konwonpi pase zansèt yo. Yo te swiv lòt dye yo pou sèvi yo, e bese ba devan yo. Yo pa t janm abandone zèv sila yo, ni chemen tèt mato yo.
20 And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, 'Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice —
Konsa, lakòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Israël. Li te di: “Akoz nasyon sa a te transgrese akò ke Mwen te kòmande zansèt yo, e pa t koute vwa M,
21 I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth,
Mwen menm tou, Mwen va sispann chase devan yo, okenn nan nasyon ke Josué te kite la lè l te mouri yo,
22 in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it] or not.'
pou pase Israël a leprèv pa yo menm, pou wè si yo va kenbe chemen a SENYÈ a pou mache ladann jan zansèt pa yo te fè a oswa non.”
23 And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
Konsa SENYÈ a te pèmèt ke nasyon sa yo rete pami yo, e pa t pouse yo sòti vit. Li pa t livre yo nan men Josué.
