Jij 2
1 Zanj Seyè a kite Gilgal, li moute nan Kriye. Li di pèp Izrayèl la konsa: -Mwen fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip. Mwen fè nou antre nan peyi mwen te pwomèt zansèt nou yo. Mwen te di mwen p'ap janm kase kontra mwen te pase ak nou pou tout tan an.
And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
2 Nou menm, bò pa nou, piga nou fè ankenn kontra ak moun k'ap viv nan peyi a. Se pou nou kraze tout lotèl yo. Men, nou pa fè sa m' te di nou fè a. Gade sa nou pito fè!
And you shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; you shall throw down their altars: but you have not obeyed my voice: why have you done this?
3 Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou: Mwen p'ap mete yo deyò devan nou. Y'ap rete la bò kote nou, bondye yo ap tounen yon pèlen pou nou.
Why I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.
4 Lè zanj Seyè a fin di yo sa, tout pèp la pran kriye.
And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Se poutèt sa yo rele kote yo te ye a Nankriye. Epi yo ofri bèt pou touye pou Seyè a la.
And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
6 Jozye voye pèp la ale lakay yo. Se konsa, chak branch fanmi pèp la pati al pran pòsyon tè yo te ba yo nan peyi a.
And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.
7 Pèp Izrayèl la te sèvi Seyè a pandan tout tan Jozye te vivan. Apre sa, yo sèvi l' pandan tout tan chèf ki te konnen sa Seyè a te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la te vivan toujou.
And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
8 Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, sèvitè Seyè a, mouri. Li te gen sandizan (110 an).
And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
9 Yo antere l' sou tè ki te vin pou li a nan zòn Timnat-Erès, nan mòn ki pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, sou bò nò mòn Gach.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
10 Tout jenerasyon moun Jozye yo te fin mouri tou, yo te al jwenn zansèt yo anba tè. Apre yo, te vin gen yon lòt jenerasyon moun ki te bliye ni Seyè a ni sa li te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la.
And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
11 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Y' al sèvi Baal yo.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
12 Yo vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, Bondye ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la. Yo tonbe mache dèyè lòt bondye ki te fè pati bann bondye pèp ki te la toupatou bò kote yo. Y' al adore yo. Sa te fè Seyè a an kolè sou yo.
And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
13 Yo vire do bay Seyè a, y' al fè sèvis pou Baal yo ak Astate yo.
And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Seyè a vin an kòlè sou pèp Izrayèl la, li kite ansasen atake yo pou pran tou sa yo te genyen. Li kite lènmi ki toupatou bò kote yo mete pye sou kou yo. Yo pa t' ka kenbe tèt devan lènmi yo ankò.
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Chak fwa y' al nan lagè, Seyè a te pran pozisyon kont yo pou malè yo, jan li te di li t'ap fè l' la. Se konsa yo t'ap bat yon sèl mizè!
Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Se lè sa a Seyè a voye bay pèp Izrayèl la kèk chèf, vanyan gason ki te delivre yo anba men ansasen yo.
Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 Men, menm chèf sa yo, yo pa t' koute yo. Yo vire do bay Seyè a, y' al dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo. Yo te toujou prese kite chemen dwat kote zansèt yo t'ap mache lè yo t'ap swiv lòd Seyè a. Yo pa t' koute lòd Seyè a.
And yet they would not listen to their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
18 Chak fwa Seyè a voye yon chèf konsa ba yo, li te kanpe la avèk chèf la, li te delivre yo anba men lènmi yo toutotan chèf la te vivan. Seyè a te gen pitye pou yo paske yo t'ap soufri anpil anba moun ki t'ap pèsekite yo ak anba moun ki t'ap peze yo.
And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
19 Men, mouri chèf la mouri, pitit yo te rekonmanse lage kò yo nan menm vye bagay yo ankò pi mal pase papa yo. Y' al dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Yo t'ap fè tèt di, yo derefize sispann fè bagay sa yo.
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
20 Seyè a te fache anpil sou pèp Izrayèl la. Li di konsa: -Nasyon an kase kontra mwen te mande zansèt yo kenbe a. Yo pa vle koute m'.
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not listened to my voice;
21 Bon, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap mete lòt nasyon Jozye te mouri kite nan peyi a deyò ankò.
I also will not from now on drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
22 Se konsa m'a wè kote m' ye ak pèp Izrayèl la. M'a konnen si wi ou non yo soti pou fè sa m' mande yo fè a jan zansèt yo te fè l' la.
That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Se konsa Seyè a te kite lòt nasyon li pa t' lage anba men Jozye yo rete nan peyi a. Li pa prese mete yo deyò.
Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
