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,
And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard, that he sent unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of Shimron, and unto 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 unto the kings who were on the north in the hill country and in the waste plain south of Chinneroth, and 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.
the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, 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.
and they came out—they, and all their hosts with them, much people, like the sand that is upon the seashore for multitude, —with horses and chariots very many.
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.
And, when all these kings were gathered together, they came in, and encamped as one man, 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.
Then said Yahweh unto Joshua—Do not fear because of them, for, to-morrow, about this time, am I going to deliver up all of them, slain, before Israel, —their horses, shalt thou ham-string, and, their chariots, shalt thou burn up 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, and all the army with him, came in upon them, by the waters of Merom, suddenly, and fell upon 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.
And Yahweh delivered them up into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them as far as great Zidon, and as far as Misrephoth-maim, and as far as the valley of Mizpeh, eastward, —yea they smote them until they left them not a survivor.
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.
And Joshua did unto them, as Yahweh had said unto him, —their horses, he ham-strung, and, their chariots, burned he up 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.
Then Joshua turned back, at that time, and captured Hazor, and, the king thereof, smote he with the sword, —for, Hazor, aforetime, was the head of all these 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.
And they smote all the souls that were therein, with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, there was left no breathing thing, —and, Hazor, burned he up 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.
And, all the cities of these kings, and all the kings thereof, did Joshua capture, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, —as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, 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.
Yet, none of the cities that were still standing upon their mound, did Israel burn, none but Hazor alone, did Joshua burn.
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.
But, all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, did the sons of Israel take as their prey, —nevertheless, all the human beings, smote they with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, they left remaining no breathing thing.
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 Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so, Moses commanded Joshua, and, so, Joshua, did, he set aside nothing of all that Yahweh 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 took all this land—the hill country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the waste plain, —and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland thereof:
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 goeth up to Seir, even as far as Baal-gad, in the valley of the Lebanon, under Mount Hermon, —and, all their kings, he captured, and smote them, and put them to death.
18 Jozye te pase yon bon tan ap fè lagè ak wa sa yo.
Many days, did Joshua, with all these kings, make war.
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 sons of Israel, save the Hivites dwelling in Gibeon, —the whole, took they 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, from Yahweh, came it to pass, that their heart was emboldened to come out to war with Israel, that he might devote them to destruction, that they might find no favour, —but that he might destroy them, —as Yahweh 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.
And Joshua came in, 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, —with their cities, did Joshua devote them to destruction.
22 Pa t' gen yon moun Anak ankò nan peyi Izrayèl la, esepte lavil Gaza, lavil Gat ak lavil Asdòd.
There was left remaining none of the Anakim, in the land of the sons of Israel, —save 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 Yahweh had spoken unto Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their portions by their tribes, —and, the land, had rest from war.
