Jozye 11
1 Nouvèl tout bagay sa yo rive nan zòrèy Jaben, wa Azò a. Li menm, li voye nouvèl la bay Yobad, wa lavil Madon, bay wa Chimwon ak wa Akchaf,
It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Maron, to the king of Shim'on, to the king of Achshaph,
2 bay tout wa ki rete bò nò a, nan mòn yo, nan fon ki anba Chinawòt, nan plenn yo ak nan koulin Dò yo bò solèy kouche.
and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Kinnereth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
3 Li voye nouvèl la bay moun Kanaran yo ki rete sou de bò larivyè Jouden an, bay moun Amori yo, bay moun Evi yo, bay moun Ferezi yo, bay moun Jebis yo nan tout mòn yo, bay moun Evi yo ki rete nan pye mòn Emon nan peyi Mispa.
to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hethite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Tout wa yo vini avèk tout sòlda yo. Sa te fè yon gwo lame sòlda pesonn pa t' ka konte, ou ta di grenn sab bò lanmè, avèk yon kantite chwal ak cha lagè.
They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
5 Wa yo pran randevou, yo mete tout sòlda yo ansanm. Yo rive, yo moute kan yo yonn sou kote lòt, toupre dlo Mewòm yo, pou yo atake pèp Izrayèl la.
All these kings met together; and they came and camped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
6 Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo! Denmen, lè konsa, m'ap fè nou wè tout tonbe mouri la devan je nou. Nou menm, nou pral koupe jarèt tout chwal yo, epi n'ap boule cha yo.
YHWH said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."
7 Se konsa, Jozye rive bò dlo Mewòm lan ak tout sòlda li yo, li tonbe sou lènmi yo san yo pa t' atann, li atake yo.
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.
8 Seyè a lage yo nan men pèp Izrayèl la: sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo bat yo byen bat. Yo kouri dèyè yo jouk Gwo Sidon ak Misrefòt sou bò nò, jouk Fon Mispa sou bò solèy leve. Yo bat yo nèt, yo pa kite yonn ladan yo chape.
YHWH delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to Greater Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward. They struck them until they left them none remaining.
9 Jozye fè yo tou sa Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a: li koupe jarèt chwal yo, li boule tout cha lagè yo.
Joshua did to them as YHWH told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 Apre sa, Jozye tounen sou dèyè, li pran lavil Azò, epi li touye wa li a. Lè sa a, Azò te pi gwo lavil nan tout peyi wa yo.
Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword: for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.
11 Li fè touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt vivan ki te la tankou yon ofrann y'ap fè pou Seyè a. Yo pa kite yonn ladan yo chape. Lèfini, yo mete dife nan lavil la.
They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burnt Hazor with fire.
12 Jozye pran tout lavil yo ansanm ak wa yo. Epi li fè touye tout wa yo, dapre prensip ki vle pou yo touye yo tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, jan Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te kite lòd pou yo fè l' la.
Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of YHWH commanded.
13 Men, moun Izrayèl yo pa t' boule ankenn lavil nan lavil ki te bati sou ti mòn yo, an wetan lavil Azò Jozye te fè boule.
But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.
14 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran tout bagay ak tout bèt yo te jwenn nan lavil yo. Men, yo touye tout moun, yo pa kite yonn chape.
The children of Israel took all the spoil of these cities, with the livestock, as spoils for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They did not leave any who breathed.
15 Seyè a te bay Moyiz, sèvitè li a, lòd li yo. Moyiz menm te bay Jozye menm lòd yo tou. Se konsa Jozye te fè tou sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè, san manke anyen.
As YHWH commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that YHWH commanded Moses.
16 Jozye ak pèp Izrayèl la te pran tout peyi a nan men moun yo, ki vle di: mòn yo, tout Negèv la, tout peyi Gochenn lan, plenn yo, Fon Jouden an, tout mòn ak tout ti bit peyi Izrayèl yo,
So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;
17 depi Mòn Alak ki toupre peyi Seyi a, jouk Baal-Gad ki nan fon Liban an nan pye mòn Emon an. Li mete men sou tout wa yo, li bat yo, li touye yo.
from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.
18 Jozye te pase yon bon tan ap fè lagè ak wa sa yo.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
19 An wetan lavil Gabawon kote moun Evi yo te rete a, pa t' gen ankenn lavil ki te vle fè lapè ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo,
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.
20 paske Seyè a te fè tout moun sa yo soti pou goumen ak pèp Izrayèl la. Se pou pèp Izrayèl la te touye tout tankou ofrann pou Seyè a, san pitye pou yo yonn menm, pou yo tout te ka disparèt, jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la.
For it was of YHWH to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as YHWH commanded Moses.
21 Lè sa a, Jozye leve, l' ale, li touye tout moun Anak yo ki te rete nan mòn yo, nan lavil Ebwon, lavil Debi, lavil Anab, nan tout mòn peyi Jida ak tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo. Li fè touye yo tout. Apre sa, li detwi tout lavil yo tankou ofrann pou Seyè a.
Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
22 Pa t' gen yon moun Anak ankò nan peyi Izrayèl la, esepte lavil Gaza, lavil Gat ak lavil Asdòd.
There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
23 Jozye te pran tout peyi a, jan Seyè a te di Moyiz la, epi li bay pèp Izrayèl la li pou li rele l' pa l'. Li separe l', li bay chak branch fanmi pòsyon pa yo. Apre tout batay sa yo, peyi a t'ap viv nan lapè, pa t' gen goumen ankò.
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that YHWH spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. The land had rest from war.
