< 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.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke to me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 Apre sa, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
3 Nou fè kont moute desann nou nan mòn yo. Koulye a, pran direksyon nò pou nou.
You have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
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 you the people, saying, You are to pass through the coast of your brothers the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take you good heed to yourselves therefore:
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.
Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; 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 meat of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may 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.
For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the works of your hand: he knows your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked 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 passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, which dwelled in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness 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, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give you of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a 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 dwelled therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
11 Tout lòt moun te rele yo refayim, menm non ak moun Anak yo. Men, se moun Moab yo ki te rele yo emen.
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called 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 Horims also dwelled in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelled in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.
13 Aprè sa, Seyè a di ankò: Leve non! Janbe lòt bò ravin Zerèd la. Se konsa nou janbe lòt bò ravin Zerèd la.
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
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 space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD swore to them.
15 Seyè a te leve dèyè yo nan kan an jouk yo tout te mouri.
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16 Lè tout gason ki te gen laj pou fè lagè lè sa a te fin mouri,
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
That the LORD spoke to me, saying,
18 Jòdi a ou pral pase fwontyè peyi Moab la, ou pral pran chemen lavil Ar la.
You are to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
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 you come near over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; 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.
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelled therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
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 tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelled 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 did to the children of Esau, which dwelled in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelled in their stead even 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.
And the Avims which dwelled in Hazerim, even to Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelled 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.
Rise you up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
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 put the dread of you and the fear of you on the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.
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:
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, 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.
Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn 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,
You shall sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
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 which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did to me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives 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.
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as appears this day.
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 give Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.
32 Siyon mache kontre nou ak tout lame l' la, li vin mande nou batay bò Jayat.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
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 before us; and we smote him, and 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, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35 Tansèlman, nou pran tout bèt yo pou nou epi nou piye tout lavil nou te pran yo.
Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the spoil 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 by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all to 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.
Only to the land of the children of Ammon you came not, nor to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities in the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbade us.
