Deteronòm 2
1 “Epi nou te vire pati vè dezè a pa chemen Lamè Wouj la, jan SENYÈ a te pale mwen an, e nou te ansèkle Mòn Séir pandan anpil jou.
Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spoke to me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
2 “Epi SENYÈ a te pale avèk mwen. Li te di:
And the LORD spoke to me, saying,
3 ‘Nou gen tan fin ansèkle mòn sa a pandan ase de tan. Vire bò kote nò a.
You have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
4 Kòmande pèp la e di yo: “Nou va pase nan teritwa frè nou yo, fis a Ésaü yo ki rete Séir, eyo va pè nou. Pou sa, fè atansyon.
And command you the people, saying, You are to pass through the coast of your brothers the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take you good heed to yourselves therefore:
5 Pa bourade yo, paske Mwen p ap bannou okenn nan tè pa yo, menm yon ti mòso, paske Mwen te bay Ésaü Mòn Séir pou posede l.
Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 Nou va achte manje nan men yo avèk lajan pou nou kapab manje. Epi nou va, osi, achte dlo pou bwè nan men yo avèk lajan nou.”’”
You shall buy meat of them for money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water of them for money, that you may drink.
7 “Paske SENYÈ a te beni nou nan tout sa nou te fè. Li te konnen tout vwayaj nou yo nan gran dezè sila a. Pandan karantan sa yo, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te avèk nou. Nou pa t manke anyen.”
For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the works of your hand: he knows your walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.
8 “Pou sa, nou te pase devan kite frè nou yo, fis a Esaü ki rete Séir yo, lwen wout Araba a, lwen Élath ak Etsjon-Guéber. Konsa, nou te vire pase nan chemen dezè Moab la.
And when we passed by from our brothers the children of Esau, which dwelled in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
9 “Alò, SENYÈ a te di mwen, ‘Pa menase Moab, ni pa fè pwovokasyon lagè, paske Mwen p ap bannou okenn nan peyi pa yo pou posede. Paske Mwen te bay Ar a fis a Lot yo kòm posesyon.’
And the LORD said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give you of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.
10 “(Avan, se te pèp Émim ki te rete la; yon gwo pèp, gran an kantite, e wo menm jan ak Anakim (jeyan yo).
The Emims dwelled therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
11 Tankou Anakim yo, yo konnen kòm Rephaïm; men Moabit yo, te rele yo Émim.
Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims.
12 Otrefwa, se te Oriyen yo ki te rete Séir, men fis a Esaü yo te deplase yo, te detwi yo devan yo, e yo te vin rete nan plas yo, jis jan ke Israël te fè lè yo te vin posede peyi pa yo ke SENYÈ a te bay yo.)
The Horims also dwelled in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelled in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.
13 “‘Koulye a, leve travèse ravin Zéred la, nou menm.’ Konsa, nou te travèse ravin Zéred la.
Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
14 “Alò, tan ke nou te pran pou sòti Kadès-Barnéa pou vin travèse ravin Zéred la se te trann-tuit ane, jiskaske tout jenerasyon moun lagè yo te mouri soti anndan kan an, jan SENYÈ a te sèmante a yo menm nan.
And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD swore to them.
15 Anplis, men a SENYÈ a te kont yo, pou detwi yo soti anndan kan an jiskaske yo tout te mouri.
For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
16 “Epi li te vin rive ke lè tout moun lagè yo te fin mouri pami pèp la,
So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
17 ke SENYÈ a te pale avè m e te di:
That the LORD spoke to me, saying,
18 ‘Jodi a, ou va travèse sou Ar, lizyè a Moab la.
You are to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
19 Lè ou vin anfas fis Ammon yo, pa menase yo ni pwovoke yo, paske Mwen p ap bay ou okenn nan peyi ki pou fis Ammon yo kòm posesyon pa w, paske Mwen te bay li a fis a Lot yo kòm posesyon.’
And when you come near over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give you of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.
20 “(Li rele osi peyi a, Rephaïm, akoz Rephaïm yo te viv la avan sa, men Amonit yo rele yo Zamzumminim,
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelled therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
21 yon pèp tèlman gran e anpil, wo tankou Anakim, men SENYÈ a te detwi yo devan yo. Epi yo te chase yo sòti pou te vin rete nan plas yo,
A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelled in their stead:
22 jis jan ke li te fè pou fis Esaü yo, ki te rete Séir, lè Li te detwi Oriyen yo soti devan yo; yo te chase yo e yo te vin rete nan plas yo menm jiska jodi a.
As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelled in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelled in their stead even to this day:
23 Epi Avyen ki te rete nan vil yo jis rive kote Gaza, Kaftorim yo ki te sòti nan Caphtor, te detwi yo, e te vin viv nan plas yo.)
And the Avims which dwelled in Hazerim, even to Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelled in their stead.)
24 “Leve, pati, e pase nan vale Arnon an. Gade! Mwen te bay Sihon, Amoreyen an, wa a Hesbon avèk peyi pa l nan men nou. Kòmanse pran posesyon an e atake li pou fè lagè.
Rise you up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
25 Nan jou sila a, Mwen va kòmanse mete lakrent ak laperèz ou sou pèp toupatou anba syèl yo, ki, lè yo tande rapò a ou menm, yo va tranble e soufri nan laperèz akoz de ou.”
This day will I begin to put the dread of you and the fear of you on the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you.
26 “Konsa, Mwen te voye mesaje soti nan dezè a Kedémoth vè Sihon, wa Hesbon an avèk pawòl lapè. Mwen te di:
And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
27 ‘Kite mwen pase nan peyi ou a, Mwen va vwayaje sèlman sou gran chemen an; mwen p ap vire akote ni adwat ni agoch.
Let me pass through your land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.
28 Ou va vann mwen manje pou lajan pou m kab manje; epi ban mwen dlo pou lajan pou m kab bwè. Sèlman, kite mwen pase ladann a pye,
You shall sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
29 jis jan ke fis a Esaü ki rete Séir yo ak Moabit ki rete Ar yo te fè pou mwen, jiskaske mwen travèse Jourdain an pou antre nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an.’
(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did to me; ) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God gives us.
30 “Men Sihon, wa Hesbon an, pa t dakò kite nou pase nan peyi pa li a; paske SENYÈ a te fè lespri li rèd e kè li di, pou l ta kapab livre li nan men nou, jan ke li ye la jodi a.
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD your God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into your hand, as appears this day.
31 “Senyè a te di mwen: ‘Ou wè, Mwen te deja kòmanse livre Sihon avèk peyi li a nan men ou. Kòmanse okipe ou, pou nou kapab genyen peyi li a.’
And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before you: begin to possess, that you may inherit his land.
32 “Epi Sihon avèk tout pèp li a te parèt pou rankontre nou nan batay nan Jahats la.
Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33 SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre li bannou, e nou te bat li avèk fis li yo ak tout pèp li a.
And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34 Konsa, nou te pran an kaptif tout vil li yo nan tan sa a, e nou te konplètman detwi mesye yo, fanm yo, avèk pitit nan chak vil yo. Nou pa t menm kite youn vivan.
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
35 Se sèl bèt nou te pran kòm piyaj nou, ak piyaj a vil ke nou te pran an kaptif.
Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
36 “Soti nan Aroër ki nan arebò vale Arnon an, epi soti nan vil ki nan vale a, menm pou rive Galaad, pa t gen vil ki te twò wo pou nou. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre yo bannou tout.
From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all to us:
37 Sèlman, nou pa t pwoche teritwa fis a Ammon yo, toupatou akote rivyè Jabbok la ak vil peyi mòn yo, ak nenpòt kote ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te enpeche nou antre.”
Only to the land of the children of Ammon you came not, nor to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities in the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbade us.
