Deteronòm 2
1 Lè sa a, nou tounen tounen nou nan dezè a, nou pran chemen Lanmè Wouj la pou nou, jan Seyè a te pase nou lòd la. Nou pase yon pakèt tan ap mache moute desann nan mòn peyi Seyi yo.
And departing from thence we came into the wilderness that leadeth to the Red Sea, as the Lord had spoken to me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time.
2 Apre sa, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And the Lord said to me:
3 Nou fè kont moute desann nou nan mòn yo. Koulye a, pran direksyon nò pou nou.
You have compassed this mountain long enough: go toward the north:
4 Bay pèp la lòd sa a: Nou pral pase nan mitan peyi Seyi a, kote pitit pitit Ezaou yo rete a. Moun sa yo se menm ras ak nou yo ye. Y'ap pè nou, men, atansyon!
And command thou the people, saying: You shall pass by the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir, and they will be afraid of you.
5 Pa chache yo kont, paske mwen p'ap ban nou ata yon pous tè nan peyi yo a. Se mwen menm ki bay moun fanmi Ezaou yo tout mòn Seyi a nèt pou yo rete.
Take ye then good heed that you stir not against them. For I will not give you of their land so much as the step of one foot can tread upon, because I have given mount Seir to Esau, for a possession.
6 N'a achte manje pou nou manje nan men yo pou lajan nou, n'a mande yo achte ata dlo pou nou bwè.
You shall buy meats of them for money and shall eat: you shall draw waters for money, and shall drink.
7 Chonje byen, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te beni nou nan tou sa n'ap fè. Li te pran swen nou pandan tout tan nou t'ap moute desann nan gwo dezè a. Sa fè karantan depi Seyè a la nan mitan nou, nou pa janm manke anyen.
The Lord thy God hath blessed thee in every work of thy hands: the Lord thy God dwelling with thee, knoweth thy journey, how thou hast passed through this great wilderness, for forty years, and thou hast wanted nothing.
8 Se konsa nou leve, nou pati, nou kite wout Araba a ki soti lavil Elat ak lavil Etsongebè, nou pase byen lwen peyi kote pitit Ezaou yo rete a, peyi ki pou moun menm ras ak nou yo. Nou vire, nou pran chemen ki mennen nan dezè Moab la.
And when we had passed by our brethren the children of Esau, that dwelt in Seir, by the way of the plain from Elath and from Asiongaber, we came to the way that leadeth to the desert of Moab.
9 Lè sa a, Seyè a di m': Pa chache moun Moab yo, moun fanmi Lòt yo, kont. Pa al goumen ak yo paske mwen p'ap ban nou anyen nan peyi ki pou yo a. Se mwen menm ki bay yo lavil A Moab la pou yo rete.
And the Lord said to me: Fight not against the Moabites, neither go to battle against them: for I will not give thee any of their land, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot in possession.
10 (Nan tan lontan, se te emen yo ki te rete nan lavil Ar la. Se te yon ras moun ki te wo anpil tankou moun Anak yo. Yo te anpil, yo te barak gason.
The Emims first were the inhabitants thereof, a people great, and strong, and so tall, that like the race of the Enacims,
11 Tout lòt moun te rele yo refayim, menm non ak moun Anak yo. Men, se moun Moab yo ki te rele yo emen.
They were esteemed as giants, and were like the sons of the Enacims. But the Moabites call them Emims.
12 Konsa tou, nan tan lontan se orit yo ki te rete nan peyi Edon an. Men moun fanmi Ezaou yo te pran peyi a nan men yo, yo touye tout moun epi yo rete ladan l' nan plas moun yo, menm jan moun Izrayèl yo te fè pou peyi ki pou yo a, peyi Seyè a te ba yo a.)
The Horrhites also formerly dwelt in Seir: who being driven out and destroyed, the children of Esau dwelt there, as Israel did in the land of his possession, which the Lord gave him.
13 Aprè sa, Seyè a di ankò: Leve non! Janbe lòt bò ravin Zerèd la. Se konsa nou janbe lòt bò ravin Zerèd la.
Then rising up to pass the torrent Zared, we came to it.
14 Nou pran trantwitan pou nou mache soti Kadès Banea jouk nou rive janbe lòt bò ravin Zerèd la. Pandan tout tan sa a, mezi gason ki te gen laj pou fè lagè lè sa a te gen tan mouri, jan Seyè a te di li t'ap fè a.
And the time that we journeyed from Cadesbarne till we passed over the torrent Zared, was thirty-eight years: until all the generation of the men that were fit for war was consumed out of the camp, as the Lord had sworn:
15 Seyè a te leve dèyè yo nan kan an jouk yo tout te mouri.
For his hand was against them, that they should perish from the midst of the camp.
16 Lè tout gason ki te gen laj pou fè lagè lè sa a te fin mouri,
And after all the fighting men were dead,
17 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
The Lord spoke to me, saying:
18 Jòdi a ou pral pase fwontyè peyi Moab la, ou pral pran chemen lavil Ar la.
Thou shalt pass this day the borders of Moab, the city named Ar:
19 Ou pral tonbe bab pou bab ak moun Amori yo. Pa chache yo kont. Pa al goumen ak yo paske mwen p'ap ba ou anyen nan peyi Amon an. Se pitit pitit Lòt yo ye; se mwen menm ki ba yo peyi sa a pou yo rete.
And when thou comest nigh the frontiers of the children of Ammon, take heed thou fight not against them, nor once move to battle: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.
20 (Nan tan lontan, dapre sa yo di, peyi sa a, se te peyi refayim yo. Se refayim yo ki te rete ladan l' anvan. Moun Amon yo te rele yo Zanmzoumim.
It was accounted a land of giants: and giants formerly dwelt in it, whom the Ammonites call Zomzommims,
21 Yo te bèl wotè tankou moun Anak yo. Yo te anpil, yo te barak gason. Men, Seyè a te touye yo pou moun Amon yo te ka pran peyi a nan men yo, pou yo te ka rete yo menm ladan l'.
A people great and many, and of tall stature, like the Enacims whom the Lord destroyed before their face: and he made them to dwell in their stead,
22 Se menm bagay Seyè a te fè pou moun fanmi Ezaou yo ki rete nan peyi Seyi a. Li touye orit yo pou moun Ezaou yo te ka pran peyi a nan men yo, pou yo te ka rete yo menm ladan l'.
As he had done in favour of the children of Esau, that dwell in Seir, destroying the Horrhites, and delivering their land to them, which they possess to this day.
23 Se menm bagay la ki rive avit yo ki te rete nan tout ti bouk ou jwenn jouk ou rive lavil Gaza: moun Kaftò yo soti zile Krèt, yo touye avit yo epi yo rete nan peyi a nan plas yo.
The Hevites also, that dwelt in Haserim as far as Gaza, were expelled by the Cappadocians: who came out of Cappadocia, and destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.
24 Seyè a di m' ankò: Leve, ranmase tout zafè nou yo. Pase lòt bò ravin Anon an. Mwen pral lage Siyon, moun peyi Amori ki wa lavil Esbon an, ansanm ak tout peyi li a nan menm nou. Atake l', konmanse pran peyi a pou nou.
Arise ye, and pass the torrent Arnon: Behold I have delivered into thy hand Sehon king of Hesebon the Amorrhite, and begin thou to possess his land and make war against him.
25 Depi jòdi a, m'ap fè tout nasyon ki sou latè pè nou kou chat. Konsa, depi y'a tande yo nonmen non nou, y'a pran tranble, y'a gen yon sèl kè sere k'ap pran yo.
This day will I begin to send the dread and fear of thee upon the nations that dwell under the whole heaven: that when they hear thy name they may fear and tremble, and be in pain like women in travail.
26 Lè sa a, antan nou te nan dezè Kedemòt la, mwen voye kèk mesaje bò kote Siyon, wa lavil Esbon an, pou yo te pale an zanmi avè l', pou yo te di l' pou mwen:
So I sent messengers from the wilderness of Cademoth to Sehon the king of Hesebon with peaceable words, saying:
27 Mwen fè lide pase nan peyi a. N'ap pase pase nou sou gran chemen an san nou pa vire ni adwat ni agoch.
We will pass through thy land, we will go along by the highway: we will not turn aside neither to the right hand nor to the left.
28 W'a vann nou pou lajan nou manje nou ka bezwen pou n' manje ansanm ak dlo pou nou bwè. Se pase sèlman n'ap pase nan peyi a san rete,
Sell us meat for money, that we may eat: give us water for money and so we will drink. We only ask that thou wilt let us pass through,
29 jouk nou rive lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. Se konsa moun fanmi Ezaou yo ki te rete nan peyi Seyi a, ak moun Moab yo ki rete nan lavil Ar la te ban nou pèmisyon pou n' pase nan peyi yo.
As the children of Esau have done, that dwell in Seir, and the Moabites, that abide in Ar: until we come to the Jordan, and pass to the land which the Lord our God will give us.
30 Men, Siyon, wa Esbon an, pa t' dakò pou l' te kite nou pase nan pèyi l' la. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fè l' kenbe tèt ak nou, li fè l' refize chanje lide malgre tou sa nou fè, pou l' sa lage l' nan men nou ansanm ak tout peyi a, jan sa ye jouk koulye a.
And Sehon the king of Hesebon would not let us pass: because the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and fixed his heart, that he might be delivered into thy hands, as now thou seest.
31 Lè sa a, Seyè a di m' konsa: Gade! Depi koulye a mwen lage Siyon ak tout peyi li a nan men nou. Konmanse anvayi peyi a, pran peyi l' la pou nou.
And the Lord said to me: Behold I have begun to deliver unto thee Sehon and his land, begin to possess it.
32 Siyon mache kontre nou ak tout lame l' la, li vin mande nou batay bò Jayat.
And Sehon came out to meet us with all his people to fight at Jasa.
33 Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, lage l' nan men nou. Nou bat li byen bat, li menm, pitit gason l' yo ak tout lame l' yo.
And the Lord our God delivered him to us: and we slew him with his sons and all his people.
34 Tout lavil yo tonbe nan men nou tou epi nou touye yo nèt pou Bondye nou an tankou yon ofrann. Nou touye tout moun nèt, fanm kou gason, timoun kou granmoun. Nou pa kite yonn chape.
And we took all his cities at that time, killing the inhabitants of them, men and women and children. We left nothing of them:
35 Tansèlman, nou pran tout bèt yo pou nou epi nou piye tout lavil nou te pran yo.
Except the cattle which came to the share of them that took them: and the spoils of the cities, which we took:
36 Depi lavil Awoyè ki anwo bò falèz ki bay sou ravin Anon an ak lavil ki nan fon an, jouk lavil Galarad la, pa t' gen yon lavil ki te ka kenbe tèt ak nou. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te lage yo tout nan men nou.
From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, a town that is situate in a valley, as far as Galaad. There was not a village or city, that escaped our hands: the Lord our God delivered all unto us:
37 Men nou pa t' pwoche bò peyi moun Amon yo, ni bò zòn larivyè Jabòk la, ni bò lavil ki nan mòn yo, ni bò ankenn kote Seyè a te ban nou lòd pa atake.
Except the land of the children of Ammon, to which we approached not: and all that border upon the torrent Jeboc, and the cities in the mountains, and all the places which the Lord our God forbade us.
