< 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 turned we, and set forward towards the desert by way of the Red Sea, as Yahweh, spake unto me; and we encompassed Mount Seir many days.
2 Apre sa, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And Yahweh spake unto me, saying:
3 Nou fè kont moute desann nou nan mòn yo. Koulye a, pran direksyon nò pou nou.
Long enough, have ye encompassed this mountain, —turn yourselves north, wards.
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, the people, command thou saying, Ye are about to pass through the boundary of your brethren the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —and should they be afraid of you, take ye good heed to yourselves:
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.
do not engage in strife with them, for I will not give you of their land, so much as place for the tread of a foot-sole, —for as a possession to Esau, have I given Mount Seir.
6 N'a achte manje pou nou manje nan men yo pou lajan nou, n'a mande yo achte ata dlo pou nou bwè.
Food, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye eat, —yea even water, shall ye buy of them with silver so shall ye 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 Yahweh thy God, hath blessed thee in all the work of thy hand, he hath considered thy traversing of this great desert, —these forty years, hath Yahweh thy God been with thee, thou hast 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.
So we passed on, a way from our brethren the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, from the way of the waste plain, from Elath, and from Ezion-geber, —and we turned and passed on by way of 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 Yahweh said unto me—Do not lay siege to Moab, nor engage in strife with them in battle, —for I will not give unto thee of this land as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given Ar, as 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 Emim, formerly dwelt therein, —a people great and many and tall, like the Anakim.
11 Tout lòt moun te rele yo refayim, menm non ak moun Anak yo. Men, se moun Moab yo ki te rele yo emen.
Giants, used, they also, to be accounted like the Anakim, —but the Moabites, called them Emim.
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.)
And in Seir, dwelt the Horim aforetime, but, the sons of Esau, dispossessed them, and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead, —as did Israel unto the land of his own possession, which Yahweh had given unto 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, arise, and pass ye over the ravine of Zered. So we passed over the ravine of 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.
Now, the days in which we journeyed from Kadesh-barnea, as far as where we crossed the ravine of Zered, were thirty-eight years, —until all the generation of the men of war were consumed out of the midst of the camp, as Yahweh had sworn unto them.
15 Seyè a te leve dèyè yo nan kan an jouk yo tout te mouri.
Yea, even the hand of Yahweh was against them, to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, —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 by dying, out of the midst of the people,
17 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
then spake Yahweh unto me, saying:
18 Jòdi a ou pral pase fwontyè peyi Moab la, ou pral pran chemen lavil Ar la.
Thou, art passing, to-day, the boundary of Moab even 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.
so wilt thou draw near over against the sons of Ammon, do not thou besiege them neither engage in strife with them, —for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon unto thee as a possession, for unto the sons of Lot, have I given it as 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.
A land of giants, used, that also, to be accounted, —giants, dwelt therein aforetime, but the Ammonites, called them Zamzummim:
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, like the Anakim, —but Yahweh destroyed them from before them, and they took their possessions, and dwelt 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 for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, —when he destroyed the Horim from before them, and they took their possessions and have dwelt in their stead, even unto 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 Avvim also, who dwelt in settlements as far as Gaza, Caphtorim, who were coming forth out of Caphtor, 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, set forward and cross over the ravine of Arnon, see! I have given into thy hand—Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite and his land, begin—take possession, —and engage in strife 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 extend the dread of thee and the fear of thee over the face of the peoples under all the heavens, —who will hear the report of thee, then will they quake and writhe in pain because of thee.
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 out of the desert of Kademoth, unto 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.
I would pass along through thy land, by the road, by the road, will I go, —I will not turn aside, to the right hand or 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,
Food for silver, shalt thou sell me so will I eat, and water for silver, shalt thou let me have, so will I drink, —only I would 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 sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, did to me, and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, —until that I pass over the Jordan, into the land which, Yahweh our God, is giving unto 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, was not willing, to let us pass along through it, —for Yahweh thy God had suffered him to make his spirit harsh and his heart bold, that he might give him into thy hand—(as [appeareth] 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.
Then said Yahweh unto me, See! I have begun to deliver up before thee Sihon and his land, —begin take possession, that thou mayest make a possession of his land.
32 Siyon mache kontre nou ak tout lame l' la, li vin mande nou batay bò Jayat.
So then Sihon came out to meet us he, and all his people, to give battle 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 Yahweh our God delivered him up 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 captured all his cities, at that time, and devoted to destruction every city of males, with the women and the little ones, —we left not remaining a survivor:
35 Tansèlman, nou pran tout bèt yo pou nou epi nou piye tout lavil nou te pran yo.
only the cattle, made we our prey, —and the spoil of the cities which we captured.
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 on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city that is in the ravine even as far as Gilead, there was not a fortress that proved too high for us, —the whole, did Yahweh our God deliver up before 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 unto the land of the sons of Ammon, didst thou not come near, —all the side of the Jabbok ravine, nor the cities of the hill country, nor any which Yahweh our God had forbidden to us.
