Jozye 8
1 Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou pa bezwen dekouraje. Pran tout sòlda yo avè ou, epi mache sou lavil Ayi. M'ap lage wa lavil la ansanm ak pèp la, lavil la ak tout zòn yo a nan men ou.
And he said Yahweh to Joshua may not you fear and may not you be dismayed take with you all [the] people of war and arise go up Ai see - I have given in hand your [the] king of Ai and people his and city his and land his.
2 Menm sa ou te fè moun lavil Jeriko yo ak wa yo a, se sa ou pral fè moun lavil Ayi yo ak wa yo a. Men, fwa sa a, n'a gen dwa pran byen yo ak bèt yo pou nou. Fè sòlda yo al anbiske kò yo pou yo atake lavil la pa dèyè.
And you will do to Ai and to king its just as you did to Jericho and to king its only booty its and livestock its you will plunder for yourselves set for yourself an ambush for the city behind it.
3 Se konsa, Jozye reyini tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, li fè plan pou yo mache sou lavil Ayi. Jozye chwazi trantmil (30.000) vanyan gason, li fè yo pati devan nan mitan lannwit.
And he arose Joshua and all [the] people of war to go up Ai and he chose Joshua thirty thousand man [the] mighty [men] of strength and he sent out them night.
4 Men lòd li ba yo: -Al anbiske kò nou lòt bò sou dèyè lavil la. Pa kache twò lwen non. Epi pare pou nou atake.
And he commanded them saying see you [are] lying in wait for the city behind the city may not you go far away from the city very and you will be all of you prepared.
5 Mwen menm, mwen pral pwoche bò lavil la avèk tout sòlda ki avè m' yo pa devan pòtay la. Lè n'a wè moun lavil yo soti vin fè fas kare ak nou, nou menm ki sou devan yo, n'a pran kouri devan yo ankò, jan nou te fè l' anvan an.
And I and all the people which [is] with me we will draw near to the city and it will be that they will come out to meet us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
6 Yo menm menm yo pral kouri dèyè nou, jouk y'a kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè yo, paske yo pral konprann se tankou premye fwa a.
And they will come out after us until have drawn out we them from the city for they will say [they are] fleeing before us just as at the first [time] and we will flee before them.
7 Lè sa a, nou menm ki te kache sou dèyè a, n'a soti kote nou te anbiske kò nou an, n'a antre nan lavil la, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap lage lavil la nan men nou.
And you you will arise from the ambush and you will take possession of the city and he will give it Yahweh God your in hand your.
8 Lè n'a fin pran lavil la, n'a mete dife ladan l' jan Seyè a te mande l' la. Men lòd mwen ban nou.
And it will be when have captured you the city you will set on fire the city with fire according to [the] word of Yahweh you will do see I have commanded you.
9 Se konsa, Jozye voye yo ale. Y' al anbiske kò yo sou dèyè lavil la, sou bò solèy kouche, ant lavil Ayi ak lavil Betèl. Jozye menm rete pase lannwit lan nan kan an.
And he sent out them Joshua and they went to the ambush and they remained between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of Ai and he stayed Joshua in the night that in among the people.
10 Nan maten, bonè bonè, Jozye leve, li reyini tout lòt sòlda yo. Li pase yo enspeksyon. Apre sa, li pran direksyon lavil Ayi a pou li. Li t'ap mache alatèt lame a ansanm ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo.
And he rose early Joshua in the morning and he mustered the people and he went up he and [the] elders of Israel before the people Ai.
11 Sòlda ki te avè l' yo rive jouk anfas pòtay lavil la. Yo moute kan yo sou bò nò lavil Ayi a. Yo kite yon ti fon nan mitan yo ak lavil Ayi a.
And all the people of war which [was] with him they went up and they approached and they came before the city and they encamped from [the] north of Ai and the valley ([was] between it *Q(k)*) and between Ai.
12 Jozye pran senkmil (5.000) sòlda, li fè yo al kache sou bò solèy kouche, ant lavil Ayi ak lavil Betèl.
And he took about five thousand man and he set them an ambush between Beth-el and between Ai from [the] west of the city.
13 Se konsa, pifò nan lame a moute kan yo sou bò nò lavil la, epi rès lame a al kache kò yo sou bò solèy kouche. Jou sa a, Jozye pase lannwit lan nan Fon an.
And they set the people all the camp which [was] from [the] north of the city and rearguard its from [the] west of the city and he went Joshua in the night that in [the] middle of the valley.
14 Lè wa lavil Ayi a wè sòlda Jozye yo, li menm ansanm ak tout gason nan lavil la, yo leve granmaten, yo prese pare yo. Yo soti al atake moun Izrayèl yo sou pant ki desann nan Fon Jouden an. Men, li pa t' konnen yo tapral atake l' sou dèyè.
And it was when saw [the] king of Ai and they hurried and they rose early and they went out [the] men of the city to meet Israel for battle he and all people his to the appointed place before the Arabah and he not he knew that an ambush for him [was] behind the city.
15 Jozye ak moun pa l' yo fè tankou y'ap kouri pou yo, yo lage kò yo nan dezè a.
And they were struck Joshua and all Israel before them and they fled [the] direction of the wilderness.
16 Tout gason ki te nan lavil la t'ap kouri dèyè yo, yo t'ap rele byen fò. Se konsa, nan kouri dèyè Jozye a, yo kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè.
And they were called together all the people which ([was] in Ai *Q(K)*) to pursue after them and they pursued after Joshua and they were drawn out from the city.
17 Pa t' gen yon gason nan lavil Ayi a, tout te kouri soti dèyè pèp Izrayèl la. Yo kite pòtay lavil la gran batan louvri san pesonn pou defann li.
And not he remained anyone in Ai and Beth-el who not they went out after Israel and they left the city open and they pursued after Israel.
18 Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Leve frenn ki nan men ou lan, lonje l' sou lavil Ayi a: mwen pral lage lavil la nan men ou. Jozye lonje frenn ki te nan men l' lan sou lavil la.
And he said Yahweh to Joshua stretch out with the javelin which [is] in hand your to Ai for in hand your I will give it and he stretched out Joshua with the javelin which [was] in hand his to the city.
19 Leve li leve men l', mesye ki te anbiske kò yo soti byen vit nan kachèt yo a, yo kouri antre nan lavil la, yo pran lavil la pou yo. Lamenm yo mete dife ladan l'.
And the ambush it arose quickly from place its and they ran when stretched out hand his and they went the city and they captured it and they hurried and they set on fire the city with fire.
20 Lè mesye lavil Ayi yo vire tèt yo gade, yo wè yon gwo lafimen ki t'ap soti nan lavil la moute nan syèl, yo pa t' konn ki bò pou yo fè, paske lè sa a, sòlda pèp Izrayèl ki t'ap kouri nan direksyon dezè a te vire tounen sou yo.
And they turned [the] men of Ai behind them and they saw and there! it went up [the] smoke of the city the heavens towards and not it was in them hands to flee hither and hither and the people which was fleeing the wilderness it turned back against the pursuer.
21 Lè Jozye ak tout moun li yo wè lòt sòlda ki te kache yo te pran lavil la, lè yo wè dife nan lavil la, yo vire tounen, yo atake moun lavil Ayi yo.
And Joshua and all Israel they saw that it had captured the ambush the city and that it went up [the] smoke of the city and they turned back and they attacked [the] men of Ai.
22 Lòt moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm soti nan lavil la, epi yo mache sou yo tou. Konsa moun lavil Ayi yo te sènen toupatou ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo touye mezi moun yo jwenn devan yo. Yo pa kite yonn vivan,
And these [men] they came out from the city to meet them and they were to Israel in the middle these from this and these from this and they struck down them until not he had left to him a survivor and a fugitive.
23 esepte wa lavil Ayi a. Yo pran msye, yo mennen l' bay Jozye.
And [the] king of Ai they captured alive and they brought near him to Joshua.
24 Moun Izrayèl yo kouri dèyè lènmi yo nan tout mòn yo ak nan tout dezè a. Lè yo fin touye tout, yo tounen lavil Ayi, epi yo touye tout moun ki te ladan l'.
And it was when had finished Israel to kill all [the] inhabitants of Ai in the open country in the wilderness which they had pursued them in it and they had fallen all of them to [the] mouth of [the] sword until were finished they and they returned all Israel Ai and they attacked it to [the] mouth of [the] sword.
25 Jou sa a, yo touye douzmil (12000) moun, fi kou gason, ki t'ap viv nan lavil Ayi a.
And it was all those [who] fell on the day that from man and unto woman two [plus] ten thousand all [the] people of Ai.
26 Jozye menm te kenbe bra l' leve anlè ak frenn lan lonje sou lavil Ayi a jouk yo te fin touye tout moun ki te rete nan lavil la tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a.
And Joshua not he drew back hand his which he had stretched out with the javelin until that he had totally destroyed all [the] inhabitants of Ai.
27 Moun Izrayèl yo te pran tout bèt moun yo ak tout byen yo pou yo, jan Seyè a te bay Jozye lòd la.
Only the livestock and [the] booty of the city that they plundered for themselves Israel according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had commanded Joshua.
28 Jozye boule lavil Ayi a, li fè l' tounen mazi, kote moun pa janm rete jouk jòdi a.
And he burned Joshua Ai and he made it a mound of perpetuity a desolation until the day this.
29 Li fè yo pann wa lavil Ayi a nan yon pyebwa, epi yo kite l' la jouk aswè. Lè solèy kouche, Jozye bay lòd pou yo desann kadav la. Yo pran l', yo voye l' jete devan pòtay lavil la. Yo mete yon gwo pil wòch sou li. Pil wòch la la jouk jòdi a.
And [the] king of Ai he hanged on the tree until [the] time of the evening and just as went the sun he commanded Joshua and they took down corpse his from the tree and they threw it to [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and they set up over him a heap of stones great until the day this.
30 Lè sa a, Jozye bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, sou mòn Ebal.
Then he built Joshua an altar to Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] mountain of Ebal.
31 Li bati li dapre lòd Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo, jan sa ekri nan liv Lalwa Moyiz la: N'a bati yon lotèl ak wòch ki pa t' janm travay ak zouti fè. Yo ofri sou lotèl la bèt yo touye pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, epi yo touye bèt pou mande Bondye padon.
Just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh [the] people of Israel according to [what] is written in [the] book of [the] law of Moses an altar of stones complete which not anyone has wielded on them iron and they offered up on it burnt offerings to Yahweh and they sacrificed peace offerings.
32 Antan yo la, Jozye pran lalwa Moyiz te ekri pou pèp Izrayèl la, li kopye l' sou tout wòch lotèl la devan tout pèp la.
And he wrote there on the stones copy of [the] law of Moses which he had written before [the] people of Israel.
33 Apre sa, tout pèp Izrayèl la vini ak chèf fanmi yo, direktè yo ak jij yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo, yo kanpe sou de bò Bwat Kontra Seyè a, ak fas yo vire ap gade moun Levi ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a sou zepòl yo nan mitan. Mwatye ladan yo te kanpe sou pant Mòn Garizim, mwatye sou bò mòn Ebal. Se konsa, depi lontan Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te ba yo lòd kanpe lè lè a va rive pou yo resevwa benediksyon.
And all Israel and elders its and officials - and judges its [were] standing from this - and from this - of the ark before the priests the Levites [the] bearers of - [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh as the sojourner as the native half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Gerizim and half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Ebal just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh to bless the people Israel at the former [time].
34 Lèfini, Jozye li tout pawòl ki te nan liv lalwa a, pawòl benediksyon yo kou pawòl madichon yo, jan yo ekri nan liv lalwa a.
And after thus he read aloud all [the] words of the law the blessing and the curse according to every [thing] written in [the] book of the law.
35 Jozye li tout kòmandman Moyiz te bay yo san sote yon mo devan tout pèp Izrayèl la ki te reyini ansanm ak fanm yo, timoun yo ak tout moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo.
Not it was anything from all that he had commanded Moses which not he read aloud Joshua before all [the] assembly of Israel and the women and the little one[s] and the sojourner[s] who went in midst their.
