< 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 the aungel of the Lord stiede fro Galgala to the place of weperis, and seide, Y ledde you out of Egipt, and Y brouyte you in to the lond, `for which Y swoor to youre fadris, and bihiyte, that Y schulde not make void my couenaunt with you in to with outen ende;
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!
so oneli that ye schulde not smyte boond of pees with the dwelleris of this lond, and schulden distrie `the auteris of hem; and ye nolden here my vois. Whi diden ye these thingis?
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.
Wherfore Y nolde do hem awei fro youre face, that ye haue enemyes, and that `the goddis of hem be to you in to fallyng.
4 Lè zanj Seyè a fin di yo sa, tout pèp la pran kriye.
And whanne the `aungel of the Lord spak these wordis to alle the sones of Israel, thei reisiden her vois, and wepten; and the name of that place was clepid,
5 Se poutèt sa yo rele kote yo te ye a Nankriye. Epi yo ofri bèt pou touye pou Seyè a la.
of weperis, ether of teeris; and thei offriden there sacrifices 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.
Therfor Josue lefte the puple; and the sones of Israel wenten forth, ech man in to his possessioun, that thei schulden gete it.
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 thei serueden the Lord in alle the daies of Josue, and of eldere men that lyueden aftir hym in long tyme, and knewen alle the grete werkis of the Lord, whiche he hadde do with Israel.
8 Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, sèvitè Seyè a, mouri. Li te gen sandizan (110 an).
Forsothe Josue, sone of Nun, `seruaunt of the Lord, `was deed of an hundrid yeer and ten;
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 thei birieden hym in the endis of his possessioun, in Thannath of Sare, in the hil of Effraym, at the north coost of the hil Gaas.
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 al that generacioun was gaderid to her fadris; and othere men riseden, that knewen not the Lord, and the werkis whiche he `hadde do with 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 sones of Israel diden yuel in the siyt of the Lord, and thei serueden Baalym and Astaroth;
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 forsoken the Lord God of her fadris, that ledden hem out of the lond of Egipt; and thei sueden alien goddis, the goddis of puplis, that dwelliden in `the cumpasse of hem, and worschipeden tho goddis, and excitiden the Lord to greet wraththe, and forsoken hym,
13 Yo vire do bay Seyè a, y' al fè sèvis pou Baal yo ak Astate yo.
and serueden Baal and Astoroth.
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 Lord was wrooth ayens Israel, and bitook hem in to the hondis of rauyscheris, whiche rauyscheris token hem, and seelden to enemyes, that dwelliden `bi cumpas; and thei myyten not ayenstonde her aduersaries;
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!
but whidir euer thei wolden go, the hond of the Lord was on hem, as he spak and swoor to hem; and thei weren turmentid greetli.
16 Se lè sa a Seyè a voye bay pèp Izrayèl la kèk chèf, vanyan gason ki te delivre yo anba men ansasen yo.
And the Lord reiside iugis, that `delyueriden hem fro the hondis of destrieris, but thei nolden here hem,
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 thei diden fornycacioun, `that is, idolatrie, with alien goddis, and worschipiden hem. Soone thei forsoken the weie, bi which `the fadris of hem entriden; and thei herden the `comaundementis of the Lord, and diden alle thingis contrarie.
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 whanne the Lord reiside iugis in `the daies of hem, he was bowid bi mercy, and he herde the weilyngis of hem turmentid, and he delyuerede hem fro the sleyng of wasteris.
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.
Sotheli aftir that the iuge was deed, thei turneden ayen, and diden many thingis grettere `in yuel than her fadris diden; and thei sueden alien goddis, and serueden hem, and worschipiden hem; thei leften not her owne fyndyngis, and the hardeste weie `bi which thei weren wont to go.
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 strong veniaunce of the Lord was wrooth ayens Israel, and he seide, For this puple hath maad voide my couenaunt which Y couenauntide with her fadris, and dispiside to here my vois; also Y schal not do a wey folkis,
21 Bon, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap mete lòt nasyon Jozye te mouri kite nan peyi a deyò ankò.
whiche Josue `lefte, and was deed;
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 in hem Y asaie Israel, whether thei kepen the weie of the Lord, and goen ther ynne, as her fadris kepten, ether nay.
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.
Therfor the Lord lefte alle these naciouns, and nolde destrie soone, nethir bitook in to the hondis of Josue.
