Jozye 10
1 Adonisedèk, wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, te vin konnen Jozye te pran lavil Ayi a, li te detwi l' nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, li te touye wa a menm jan li te fè l' pou lavil Jeriko ansanm ak wa li a. Adonisedèk te vin pran nouvèl tou moun Gabawon yo te al rann tèt yo bay moun Izrayèl yo, epi yo t'ap viv nan mitan yo.
Later, Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua’s army had captured Ai [town] and had destroyed everything in the town. He heard that they had done to the people of Ai and to their king the same thing that they had done to the people of Jericho and their king. He also heard that the people of Gibeon [city] had made a peace treaty with the Israeli people, and that the people of Gibeon were now living near the Israelis and being protected by them.
2 Tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo te pè anpil, paske Gabawon te yon gwo lavil, tankou nenpòt ki lavil ki te gen yon wa ap gouvènen li. Li te pi gwo pase lavil Ayi. Lèfini, tout gason la te vanyan sòlda.
Because of that, he and the people whom he ruled became very afraid, because Gibeon was an important city, like the other cities that had kings. And [even though] Gibeon was a larger city than Ai and all its soldiers were good fighters, [they thought Joshua’s army might defeat them].
3 Se konsa, Adonisedèk, wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, voye misyon bay Oram, wa lavil Ebwon, bay Pireyam, wa lavil Jamout, bay Jafya, wa lavil Lakis, ak bay Debi, wa lavil Eglon.
So King Adonizedek sent a message to Hosham the king of Hebron [city], to Piram the king of Jarmuth [city], to Jarmuth the king of Lachish [city], and to Debir the king of Eglon [city].
4 Li voye di yo. -Vin jwenn mwen. Vin ede m' atake lavil Gabawon, paske moun sa yo al rann tèt yo bay Jozye ak pèp Izrayèl la.
In the message he said, “Please come up with your armies and help me to attack Gibeon, because the people of Gibeon have made a peace treaty with Joshua and the Israelis.”
5 Se konsa senk wa moun Amori yo: wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, wa lavil Ebwon an, wa lavil Jamout la, wa lavil Lakis la, wa lavil Eglon an, mete tèt ansanm, yo fè yon sèl lame ak tout sòlda yo. Yo sènen lavil Gabawon, yo atake l'.
So those five kings who ruled all the groups who were descendants of Amor—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Debir—came up with all of their soldiers and surrounded the city. Then they prepared to attack it.
6 Moun lavil Gabawon yo voye mesaje nan kan Gilgal la di Jozye konsa: -Mèt, tanpri, pa lage nou! Prese vin jwenn nou pou ede nou, pou delivre nou. Paske tout wa moun Amori ki rete nan mòn yo mete tèt ansanm, yo leve dèyè nou pou yo fini ak nou.
So the people of Gibeon sent a message to Joshua while he was in the camp at Gilgal. They said, “We are your servants. So do not forsake us. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because the kings of all of the groups descended from Amor and their armies have joined their forces and have come from the hilly area to attack us!”
7 Se konsa, Jozye ak tout lame a ansanm ak tout vanyan sòlda li yo kite Gilgal, yo leve yo pati.
So Joshua and all his army, including the soldiers who were his best fighting men, marched up from Gilgal.
8 Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè yo. M'ap lage yo tout nan men ou. Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki ka kenbe tèt avè ou.
Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of those armies! I will enable your army to defeat them [IDM]. None of them will be able to (resist/fight and defeat) your army.”
9 Lè Jozye kite Gilgal, li pase tout nwit lan ap mache. Li rive sou moun Amori yo san yo pa t' atann.
Joshua’s army marched all night and arrived very early in the morning.
10 Seyè a fè moun Amori yo pran kouri lè yo wè moun Izrayèl yo. Li fè pèp Izrayèl la bat yo byen bat lòt bò lavil Gabawon an. Moun Izrayèl yo kouri desann dèyè yo nan pant Bètowon an, yo bat yo jouk Azeka ak Makeda nan sid la.
They attacked their enemies before anyone knew that they had come. Yahweh caused their enemies to (become very confused/start running in all directions) when they saw the Israeli army. As a result, the Israeli army defeated them very severely at Gibeon [and killed many of them]. The rest of them fled along the road that goes up to Beth-Horon. But the Israeli army pursued them and killed them all along the road that goes to Azekah and Makkedah towns.
11 Pandan yo t'ap kouri devan lame Izrayèl la, depi nan desann pant Bètowon an jouk yo rive Azeka, Seyè a rete nan syèl la, li voye gwo boul lagrèl sou yo pou touye yo. Lagrèl la te touye plis moun pase lame Izrayèl la avèk nepe yo.
As they fled in front of the Israeli army, Yahweh threw down huge hailstones from the sky. As a result, more of them died from hailstones falling on them than died as a result of the Israeli army killing them with swords.
12 Jou Seyè a te lage moun Amori yo nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo, Jozye pale ak Seyè a devan tout pèp la, li di: -Solèy! Rete klere sou lavil Gabawon! Lalin! Rete klere sou Pon Ayalon!
On the day that Yahweh enabled the Israeli army to defeat the groups who were descendants of Amor, Joshua said to Yahweh while the Israeli people were listening, “Yahweh, cause the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and cause the moon to not move when it is over Aijalon Valley.”
13 Solèy la rete kote l' te ye a, lalin lan pa fè yon pa jouk pèp Izrayèl la te fin kraze lènmi l' yo. Se sa nou jwenn ekri nan liv Moun ki mache dwat la. Solèy la rete nan mitan syèl la san li pa mache yon bon tan, longè yon jounen konsa. Se apre sa l' al kouche.
And that is what happened. The sun stood still, and the moon did not move, until the Israeli army defeated their enemies. That is what has been written in the book that Jashar wrote. The sun stopped while it was in the middle of the sky, and did not (set/go down) for about a whole day.
14 Ni anvan sa, ni apre sa, pa janm gen yon jou tankou jou sa a lè Seyè a te fè sa yon moun te mande l' fè, epi li goumen pou pèp Izrayèl la.
On that day Yahweh did a great miracle that someone asked him to do. There was never a day like that previously, and there has never been a day like that since. Yahweh was certainly fighting for the Israeli people!
15 Apre sa, Jozye ak tout lame Izrayèl la tounen nan kan yo Gilgal.
After Joshua’s army defeated their enemies, they all returned to their camp at Gilgal.
16 Men, senk wa yo te kouri chape, y' al kache nan gwòt Makeda a.
While the enemy soldiers were fleeing from Joshua’s army, their five kings also fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah [town].
17 Y' al di Jozye yo jwenn senk wa yo kache nan gwòt Makeda a.
Then someone told Joshua, “We found those five kings, hiding in a cave at Makkedah!”
18 Jozye reponn: -Woule wòch bouche bouch gwòt la. Mete moun veye yo.
When Joshua heard that, he said, “Roll some very large rocks to the entrance of the cave so that the kings cannot escape, and leave some soldiers there to guard it.
19 Men, nou menm, souke kò nou. Kouri dèyè lènmi yo. Atake yo pa dèyè. Pa kite yo gen tan rive nan lavil yo! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, lage yo nan men nou.
But do not stay there! Pursue our enemies! Attack them from behind! Do not allow them to escape to their cities, because Yahweh, our God, will enable you to defeat/kill them. [IDM]”
20 Jozye ak sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap masakre yo: sa ki te chape yo kouri al kache nan lavil ki gen gwo ranpa yo.
So Joshua’s army did what he told them to do. They killed almost all of the enemy soldiers, but a few of them were able to reach their cities and be safe inside the walls of the cities.
21 Lè sa a, tout lame Jozye a tounen vin jwenn li nan kan Makeda a san pwoblèm, san danje. Pesonn pa t' penmèt yo di anyen sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
Then Joshua’s army returned to Joshua, who was still in their camp at Makkedah. No one in the land dared to criticize [MTY] the Israelis.
22 Lè sa a, Jozye di: -Degaje bouch gwòt la. Mennen senk wa yo deyò vin jwenn mwen.
Then Joshua said, “Open the entrance of the cave, and bring out to me those five kings!”
23 Yo degaje bouch gwòt la, yo mennen senk wa yo deyò vin jwenn li. Se te wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, wa lavil Ebwon an, wa lavil Jamout la, wa lavil Lakis la ak wa lavil Eglon an.
So the soldiers brought those five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 Lè yo mennen wa yo ba li, Jozye rele tout gason nan pèp Izrayèl la, epi li di chèf ki te avè l' yo: -Vini non! Mete pye nou sou kou wa sa yo! Yo pwoche vre, yo mete pye yo sou kou wa yo.
When they brought those kings to Joshua [and forced them to lie on the ground], he summoned all the Israeli soldiers, and then he said to the army commanders, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings!” So the commanders did that.
25 Epi Jozye di yo: -Nou pa bezwen tranble! Nou pa bezwen pè! Mete gason sou nou! Pa janm dekouraje paske Seyè a pral fè nou mete pye nou sou kou tout lènmi n'a jwenn sou wout nou!
Then Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid of any of our enemies! Never be discouraged! Be strong and courageous. This is what Yahweh will do to all the enemies you will fight!”
26 Apre sa, Jozye touye wa yo epi li fè pann kadav yo sou senk pyebwa kote yo rete pandye jouk aswè.
Then Joshua killed each of the five kings with his sword, and told his soldiers to hang the bodies of the five kings on trees. So they did that, and they left the bodies hanging on the trees until sunset.
27 Lè solèy fin kouche, Jozye bay lòd pou yo desann kadav yo, epi pou yo voye yo jete nan gwòt kote yo te kache a. Apre sa, yo pran gwo wòch yo bouche bouch gwòt la. Wòch yo la jouk jòdi a.
At sunset, Joshua told them to take the bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. So the soldiers did that, and then they put those large rocks at the entrance of the cave again. Those rocks are still there.
28 Menm jou sa a, Jozye atake lavil Makeda, epi li pran l'. Li touye wa a. Lèfini, li fè touye tout moun ak tout bèt ki te nan lavil la tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, san li pa kite anyen chape. Li fè wa Makeda a menm sa li te fè wa Jeriko a.
That is how Joshua’s army attacked and captured Makkedah. They killed the king and everyone else in the town. They did not leave anyone alive. They did to the king of Makkedah the same thing that they had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite Makeda, y' al atake lavil Libna.
That same day, Joshua and his Israeli army went [southwest] from Makkedah to Libnah [city] and attacked it.
30 Seyè a lage lavil la ansanm ak tout wa a nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te nan lavil la san yo pa kite anyen chape. Li fè wa a menm sa li fè wa Jeriko a.
Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not (spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive). They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.
31 Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite Libna, y' al atake Lakis. Yo sènen lavil la nèt.
Then Joshua and his army went [south] from Libnah to Lachish [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
32 Seyè a lage lavil Lakis nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Sou dezyèm jou a, yo pran lavil la. Li fè yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te nan lavil la, menm jan yo te fè l' nan lavil Libna a, san li pa kite yonn chape.
On the second day of the battle, Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer [MTY] the city. And like they had done at Libnah, they killed everyone [DOU] in the city.
33 Lè sa a Oram, wa peyi Gezè a, moute vin pote moun Lakis yo sekou. Men, Jozye bat li byen bat ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo. Li fè touye yo tout san li pa kite yonn chape.
King Horam from Gezer [city and his army] came to help [the soldiers of] Lachish, but Joshua’s [army] defeated Horam and his army, and did not allow any of them to remain alive.
34 Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite lavil Lakis, y' al atake lavil Eglon. Yo sènen l' nèt.
Then Joshua and his army went [west] from Lachish to Eglon [city]. They surrounded the city and attacked it.
35 Menm jou a, yo pran lavil la, yo touye tout moun ladan l'. Wi, jou sa a, tankou yon ofrann y'ap fè pou Seyè a, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki t'ap viv la, menm jan yo te fè l' nan lavil Lakis la.
On that day, they captured the city and killed [MTY] everyone in it [DOU], just like they had done at Lachish.
36 Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak lame Izrayèl la kite lavil Eglon, yo moute al atake Ebwon.
Then Joshua and his army went [west from Eglon] up [into the hills] to Hebron [city]. They attacked the city
37 Yo pran lavil la, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te rete la ansanm ak tou sa ki te rete nan ti bouk nan zòn lan. Li pa kite yon moun chape, menm jan li te fè l' lavil Eglon an. Li fè touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a.
and captured it. They killed the king and everyone else, just like they had done at Eglon. They did not allow anyone to remain alive.
38 Apre sa ankò, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la vire sou lavil Debi, y' al atake l'.
Then Joshua and his army turned [south] and went to Debir [city] and attacked it.
39 Yo pran lavil la ansanm ak wa a ak tout lòt ti bouk nan zòn lan. Jozye fè touye tout moun ak tout bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Li pa kite yonn chape. Menm sa li te fè moun lavil Ebwon yo, menm sa li te fè moun lavil Libna yo ak wa yo a, se sa Jozye fè lavil Debi ak wa li a tou.
They captured the city and its king, and also captured the nearby towns. Then they killed everyone [DOU]; they did to the people there the same thing that they had done at Hebron and Libnah.
40 Se konsa Jozye te fè tout peyi a soumèt devan li. Li te kraze tout wa yo, kit sa ki t'ap gouvènen nan mòn yo ak nan Negèv la, kit sa ki t'ap gouvènen nan plenn yo ak sou ti mòn yo. Li pa kite yon moun chape. Li touye dènye moun, dènye bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, jan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te ba li lòd fè a.
That is how Joshua [and his army] conquered the entire southern part of Canaan. They defeated the kings [who ruled] the hilly area, the dry southern area, the [western] foothills, and the [eastern] slopes. They killed everyone [DOU] in those areas; they did not allow anyone to remain alive.
41 Jozye bat yo depi Kadès-Banea sou bò sid rivyè Gaza, bò rivaj la, nan tout zòn Gochenn lan jouk Gabawon sou bò nò.
Joshua’s soldiers captured all the cities from Kadesh-Barnea [city] in the far south to Gaza [city] near the coast, including all the Goshen area, and north to Gibeon [city].
42 Jozye te pran tout wa sa yo ak tout peyi yo nan yon sèl soti, paske Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, t'ap goumen pou pèp la.
At that one time, Joshua’s army conquered all the kings and captured all the territory that they [ruled]. They were able to do that because Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [worship], was fighting for them.
43 Lèfini, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la tounen nan kan yo Gilgal.
Then Joshua and his army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
