< Jozye 23 >

1 Depi lontan Seyè a te fin bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo lapè nan mitan tout lènmi l' yo. Jozye bò pa l' te fin granmoun. Li te gen anpil laj sou tèt li.
And it was from days many after that he had given rest Yahweh to Israel from all enemies their from round about and Joshua he was old he had come in days.
2 Li fè rele tout pèp Izrayèl la, tout chèf fanmi yo, tout lòt chèf yo, tout jij yo, tout notab nan peyi a, li di yo: -Koulye a mwen fin granmoun!
And he summoned Joshua all Israel elders its and leaders its and judges its and officials its and he said to them I I am old I have come in days.
3 Nou te wè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè tout pèp sa yo ki t'ap kenbe tèt ak nou. Se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki t'ap goumen pou nou.
And you you have seen all that he has done Yahweh God your to all the nations these from before you for Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] has been fighting for you.
4 Koute! Mwen separe tout peyi a bay chak branch fanmi pòsyon pa yo. Mwen separe ni peyi nou deja pran nan men nasyon nou disparèt yo, ni peyi ki rete pou nou pran nan men kèk lòt nasyon, depi larivyè Jouden bò solèy leve jouk lanmè Mediterane a bò solèy kouche.
See I have made fall to you the nations which remain these an inheritance for tribes your from the Jordan and all the nations which I have cut off and the sea great [the] setting of the sun.
5 Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral pran peyi a nan men moun ki rete la yo, l'ap mete yo deyò pou nou ka pran tè a pou nou, jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te di l' la.
And Yahweh God your he he will drive out them from before you and he will dispossess them from to before you and you will take possession of land their just as he spoke Yahweh God your to you.
6 Se pou nou fè sa nou kapab pou nou toujou swiv tou sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa Moyiz la, san neglije anyen ladan l'.
And you will be strong very to take care and to do every [thing] written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses to not to turn aside from it right [hand] and left [hand].
7 Pa mele avèk moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo. Pa nonmen non bondye yo. Pa pran non bondye yo pou fè sèman. Pa mete ajenou devan bondye yo. Pa fè sèvis pou yo.
To not to go among the nations these which remain these with you and [the] name of gods their not you must bring to remembrance and not you must cause to swear and not you must serve them and not you must bow down to them.
8 Se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ase pou nou toujou kenbe fèm, jan nou te toujou fè l' jouk jounen jòdi a.
That except to Yahweh God your you will cling just as you have done until the day this.
9 Seyè a te mete yon bann gwo nasyon ki te fò anpil deyò devan nou. Pesonn pa t' kapab kenbe tèt ak nou jouk jòdi a.
And he has dispossessed Yahweh from before you nations great and mighty and you not he has stood anyone in faces your until the day this.
10 Yon sèl gason nan mitan nou kont pou fè mil gason nan lènmi nou yo kouri met deyò, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap goumen pou nou, jan li te di l' la.
A man one of you he puts to flight a thousand for - Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] fights for you just as he spoke to you.
11 Atansyon wi! Se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
And you will take heed exceedingly to selves your to love Yahweh God your.
12 Si nou vire do bay Bondye, si n' al mete tèt nou ansanm ak rès moun lòt nasyon sa yo k'ap viv nan mitan nou, si nou marye ak yo, si nou nan antre soti avèk yo,
That - except ever you will turn back and you will cling to [the] remainder of the nations these which remain these with you and you will intermarry with them and you will go among them and they among you.
13 nou mèt sèten, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, p'ap mete pèp sa yo deyò devan nou ankò. Okontrè, l'ap fè yo tounen yon pèlen, yon senn pou fèmen nou, yon fwèt nan dèyè nou, yon pikan nan je nou jouk l'a fè nou disparèt nan bon peyi sa a Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
Certainly you will know that not he will increase Yahweh God your to dispossess the nations these from to before you and they will become for you a trap and a snare and a scourge in sides your and thorns in view your until perish you from on the land good this which he has given to you Yahweh God your.
14 Mwen menm, mwen pa lwen kite tè a. Nou tout nou konnen nan kè nou ak nan lespri nou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou tout bèl bagay li te pwomèt nou yo. Li kenbe tou sa li te pwomèt, yo tout rive vre.
And here! I [am] about to go this day in [the] way of all the earth and you know with all heart your and with all being your that not it has fallen a word one of all - the words good which he spoke Yahweh God your on you everything they have come to you not it has fallen of it a word one.
15 Wi, menm jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè pou nou tout bèl bagay li te pwomèt nou yo, konsa tou, si nou vire do ba li, l'a voye sou nou tout kalite malè, jouk l'a disparèt nou nèt nan bon peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou an.
And it will be just as it has come on you every word good which he spoke Yahweh God your to you so he will bring Yahweh on you every word bad until has destroyed he you from on the land good this which he has given to you Yahweh God your.
16 Si nou pa respekte kontra Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pase ak nou an, si n' al adore lòt bondye, si n' al fè sèvis pou yo, Seyè a pral move sou nou, epi lapoula, n'ap disparèt nan bon peyi sa a li te ban nou an.
When transgress you [the] covenant of Yahweh God your which he commanded you and you will go and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them and it will burn [the] anger of Yahweh on you and you will perish quickly from on the land good which he has given to you.
