< 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 cometh to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heareth, that he sendeth 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 [are] on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations 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 Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh —
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 go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude, and horse and charioteer 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 all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp 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.
And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, 'Be not afraid of their presence, for to-morrow about this time I am giving all of them wounded before Israel; their horses thou dost hough, and their chariots burn 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.
And Joshua cometh, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fall 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.
and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Israel, and they smite them and pursue them unto the great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-Maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they smite them, till he hath not left to them a remnant;
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 doth to them as Jehovah said to him; their horses he hath houghed, and their chariots burnt 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.
And Joshua turneth back at that time, and captureth Hazor, and its king he hath smitten by the sword; for Hazor formerly [is] 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 smite every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he hath devoted — he hath not left any one breathing, and Hazor he hath burnt 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 their kings, hath Joshua captured, and he smiteth them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of Jehovah, 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.
Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel hath not burned them, save Hazor only, [it] hath Joshua burnt;
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.
and all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, have the sons of Israel spoiled for themselves; only, every human being they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, till their destroying them; they have not left any one breathing.
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 Jehovah commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so hath Joshua done; he hath not turned aside a thing of all that Jehovah 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,
And Joshua taketh all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands,
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 the mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and unto Baal-Gad, in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon; and all their kings he hath captured, and he smiteth them, and putteth them to death.
18 Jozye te pase yon bon tan ap fè lagè ak wa sa yo.
Many days hath Joshua made with all these kings 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 hath not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel save the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; the whole they have taken 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 Jehovah it hath been to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as Jehovah 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 cometh at that time, and cutteth off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, even from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; with their cities hath Joshua devoted them.
22 Pa t' gen yon moun Anak ankò nan peyi Izrayèl la, esepte lavil Gaza, lavil Gat ak lavil Asdòd.
There hath not been left Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left.
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.
And Joshua taketh the whole of the land, according to all that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and Joshua giveth it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land hath rest from war.
