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.
And we turned and departed 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 said to me,
3 ‘Nou gen tan fin ansèkle mòn sa a pandan ase de tan. Vire bò kote nò a.
You have compassed this mount long enough; turn therefore toward the north.
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 charge the people, saying, You are going through the borders of your brethren the children of Esau, who dwell in Seir; and they shall fear you, and dread you greatly.
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.
Do not engage in war against them, for I will not give you of their land even enough to set your foot upon, for I have given mount Seir to the children of Esau as an inheritance.
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.”’”
Buy food of them for money and eat, and you shall receive water of them by measure for money, and 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 our God has blessed you in every work of your hands. Consider how you went through that great and terrible wilderness: behold, the Lord your God [has been] with you forty years; you did not lack any thing.
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 we passed by our brethren the children of Esau, who lived in Seir, by the way of Araba from Aelon and from Gesion Gaber; and we turned and passed by the way of the desert 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, Do not you quarrel with the Moabites, and do not engage in war with them; for I will not give you of their land for an inheritance, for I have given Aroer to the children of Lot to inherit.
10 “(Avan, se te pèp Émim ki te rete la; yon gwo pèp, gran an kantite, e wo menm jan ak Anakim (jeyan yo).
Formerly the Ommin lived in it, a great and numerous nation and powerful, like the Enakim.
11 Tankou Anakim yo, yo konnen kòm Rephaïm; men Moabit yo, te rele yo Émim.
These also shall be accounted Raphain like the Enakim; and the Moabites call them Ommin.
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.)
And the Chorrhite lived in Seir before, and the sons of Esau destroyed them, and utterly consumed them from before them; and they lived in their place, as Israel did to the land of his inheritance, which the Lord gave to them.
13 “‘Koulye a, leve travèse ravin Zéred la, nou menm.’ Konsa, nou te travèse ravin Zéred la.
Now then, arise you, [said I], and depart, and cross the valley of Zaret.
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 days in which we traveled from Cades Barne till we crossed the valley of Zaret, [were] thirty and eight years, until the whole generation of the men of war failed, dying out of the camp, as the Lord God sware to them.
15 Anplis, men a SENYÈ a te kont yo, pou detwi yo soti anndan kan an jiskaske yo tout te mouri.
And the hand of the Lord was upon them to destroy them out of the midst of the camp, until they were consumed.
16 “Epi li te vin rive ke lè tout moun lagè yo te fin mouri pami pèp la,
And it came to pass when all the men of war dying out of the midst of the people had fallen,
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 shall pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer;
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 you shall draw near to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to the children of Lot for an inheritance.
20 “(Li rele osi peyi a, Rephaïm, akoz Rephaïm yo te viv la avan sa, men Amonit yo rele yo Zamzumminim,
It shall be accounted a land of Raphain, for the Raphain lived there before, and the Ammanites call them Zochommin.
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 great nation and populous, and mightier than you, as also the Enakim: yet the Lord destroyed them from before them, and they inherited [their land], and they lived [there] instead of them until this day.
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 they did to the children of Esau that dwell in Seir, even as they destroyed the Chorrhite from before them, and inherited their country, and lived [therein] instead of them until 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 Evites who dwell in Asedoth to Gaza, and the Cappadocians who came out of Cappadocia, destroyed them, and lived in their room.
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.
Now then arise and depart, and pass over the valley of Arnon: behold, I have delivered into your hands Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land: begin to inherit [it]: engage in war with him this day.
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.”
Begin to put your terror and your fear on the face of all the nations under heaven, who shall be troubled when they have heard your name, and shall be in anguish before 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 ambassadors from the wilderness of Kedamoth to Seon king of Esebon with peaceful words, 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.
I will pass through your land: I will go by the road, I will not turn aside to the right hand or 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 give me food for money, and I will eat; and you shall give me water for money, and I will drink; I will only go 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 sons of Esau did to me, who lived in Seir, and the Moabites who lived in Aroer, until I shall have passed 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.
And Seon king of Esebon would not that we should pass by him, because the Lord our God hardened his spirit, and made his heart stubborn, that he might be delivered into your hands, as on 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 deliver before you Seon the king of Esebon the Amorite, and his land, and do you begin to inherit his land.
32 “Epi Sihon avèk tout pèp li a te parèt pou rankontre nou nan batay nan Jahats la.
And Seon the king of Esebon came forth to meet us, he and all his people to war at Jassa.
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 our face, and we struck 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 possession of all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed every city in succession, and their wives, and their children; we left no living prey.
35 Se sèl bèt nou te pran kòm piyaj nou, ak piyaj a vil ke nou te pran an kaptif.
Only we took the cattle captive, and took the spoil of the cities.
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 brook of Arnon, and the city which is in the valley, and as far as the mount of Galaad; there was not a city which escaped us: the Lord our God delivered all of them into our hands.
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 we did not draw near to the children of Amman, even all the parts bordering on the brook Jaboc, and the cities in the mountain country, as the Lord our God charged us.
