< Deteronòm 3 >
1 “Alò, nou te vire monte nan wout la vè Basan. Konsa, Og, wa a Basan an avèk tout pèp li a te sòti pou rankontre nou nan batay nan Édréï.
“And so, having turned back, we ascended by the way of Bashan. And Og, the king of Bashan, went forth with his people to meet us in warfare at Edrei.
2 Men SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Pa pè li, paske Mwen te livre li avèk tout pèp li a, ak peyi li a nan men ou; epi ou va fè li menm jan ke ou te fè Sihon, wa Amoreyen yo, ki te rete Hesbon an.’
And the Lord said to me: ‘You should not fear him. For he has been delivered into your hand, with all his people as well as his land. And you shall do to him just as you have done to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.’
3 “Konsa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre osi Og, wa Basan an, avèk tout pèp li a nan men nou e nou te frape yo jis nanpwen ki te rete vivan.
Therefore, the Lord our God delivered into our hands, now Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck them down unto utter annihilation,
4 Nou te pran an kaptif tout vil li yo nan tan sa a; nanpwen vil ke nou pa t pran sou yo: swasant vil, tout rejyon Argob la, wayòm a Og la, nan Basan.
laying waste to all his cities at one time. There was not a village which escaped from us: sixty cities, the entire region of Argob, the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.
5 Tout vil sa yo te fòtifye avèk miray ki wo, avèk pòtay byen bare; epi osi, anpil vil ki te san miray.
All the cities were fortified with very high walls, and with gates and bars, in addition to innumerable villages which had no walls.
6 Nou te konplètman detwi yo, jis jan ke nou te fè a Sihon, wa Hesbon an, e nou te konplètman detwi gason, fanm ak pitit a chak vil yo.
And we wiped them out, just as we had done to Sihon, the king of Heshbon, destroying every city, and its men, as well as women and children.
7 Men nou te piyaje tout bèt ak byen a vil yo.
But the cattle and the spoils of the cities, we plundered.
8 “Konsa, nou te pran peyi a nan tan sa a nan men wa Amoreyen yo ki te lòtbò Jourdain an, soti nan vale Arnon an jis rive nan Mòn Hermon an.
And at that time, we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan: from the torrent Arnon as far as Mount Hermon,
9 (Sidonyen yo rele Hermon Sirion e Armoreyen yo rele li, Senir.)
which the Sidonians call Sirion, and the Amorites call Senir,
10 Nou te pran tout vil nan platon yo, tout Galaad ak tout Basan jis rive nan Salca ak Édréï, vil a wayòm Og yo, nan Basan.
all the cities that are situated in the plain, and the entire land of Gilead and Bashan, all the way to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
11 (Paske se sèl Og, wa Basan an ki te rete kòm retay a Rephaïm yo. Gade byen, kabann li te fèt an fè. Èske li pa nan Rabbath, vil a fis Ammon yo? Longè li se te nèf koude e lajè li se te kat koude nan koude a yon moun.)”
For only Og, the king of Bashan, was left behind out of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is on display, (it is in Rabbah, among the sons of Ammon) being nine cubits in length, and four in width, according to the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.
12 “Konsa, nou te vin pran posesyon a peyi sila nan tan sa a. Soti nan Aroër, ki bò kote vale Arnon an, ak mwatye peyi ti mòn a Galaad yo, avèk vil pa li yo, mwen te bay yo a Ribenit yo e a Gadit yo.
And we possessed the land, at that time, from Aroer, which is above the bank of the torrent Arnon, as far as the middle of Mount Gilead. And I gave its cities to Ruben and Gad.
13 Rès pati a Galaad la ak tout Basan an, wayòm Og la, mwen te bay a mwatye tribi Manassé a, tout rejyon a Argob la (pa tout Basan, se li yo rele peyi a Rephaïm yo.
Then I delivered the remaining part of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og, which is the entire region of Argob, to one half of the tribe of Manasseh. And all of Bashan is called the land of the giants.
14 Jaïr, fis a Manassé a te pran tout rejyon Argob la jis rive nan lizyè Gechiyen yo ak Maakatyen yo, e yo te rele li Basan, selon pwòp non pa li, Havvoth-Jaïr, e se konsa li rele jis jodi a.)
Jair, the son of Manasseh, possessed all the region of Argob, as far as the borders of Geshur and Maacath. And he called Bashan by his own name, Havvoth Jair, that is, the villages of Jair, even to the present day.
15 A Makir, mwen te bay Galaad.
Likewise, to Machir, I gave Gilead.
16 A Ribenit yo avèk Gadit yo, mwen te bay soti Galaad pou rive jis nan vale Arnon, mitan vale a sèvi kòm yon lizyè e jis nan rivyè Jabbok la, ki se fwontyè a fis Ammon yo;
And to the tribes of Ruben and Gad, I gave from the land of Gilead as far as the torrent Arnon, one half of the torrent and its confines, even to the torrent Jabbok, which is along the border of the sons of Ammon,
17 Araba a osi, avèk rivyè Jourdain an kòm yon lizyè soti Kinnéreth jis rive nan lanmè Araba a, Lamè Sale a, nan pye a mòn Pisga nan lès.
and the plain of the wilderness, as well as the Jordan, and the borders of Chinnereth, all the way to the sea of the desert, which is very salty, to the base of Mount Pisgah toward the east.
18 “Epi mwen te kòmande nou nan tan sa a e te di: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou peyi sa a pou posede li. Nou tout, mesye vanyan yo, nou va travèse avèk zam devan frè nou yo, fis Israël yo.
And I instructed you at that time, saying: ‘The Lord your God gives to you this land as an inheritance. Having armed yourselves, go before your brothers, the sons of Israel, all you strong men.
19 Men madanm nou yo avèk pitit nou yo ak bèt nou yo (mwen konnen ke nou genyen anpil bèt) va rete nan vil ke mwen te bannou yo,’
Leave behind your wives and little ones, as well as the cattle. For I know that you have many cattle, and they should remain in the cities which I have delivered to you,
20 jis SENYÈ a bay repo a sitwayen parèy a nou an, jis tankou nou; epi yo, osi, vin posede peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va bay yo lòtbò Jourdain an. Nan moman sa a, nou tout kapab retounen nan pwòp posesyon pa l ke mwen te bannou an’.
until the Lord provides rest to your brothers, just as he has provided for you. And they, too, shall possess the land, which he will give to them beyond the Jordan. Then each one shall return to his possession, which I have allotted to you.’
21 “Mwen te kòmande Josué e te di: ‘Zye ou gen tan fin wè tout sa ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè a dè wa sa yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a va fè nan tout wayòm kote ou prèt pou travèse yo.
Likewise, I instructed Joshua at that time, saying: ‘Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So also will he do to all the kingdoms through which you shall pass.
22 Pa pè yo; paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se Li menm k ap goumen pou nou.’
You should not fear them. For the Lord your God will fight on your behalf.’
23 “Nan tan sa a, osi, mwen te sipliye SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Mwen te di:
And I beseeched the Lord at that time, saying:
24 ‘O SENYÈ BONDYE, Ou te kòmanse montre sèvitè ou a jan Ou gran ak men pwisan Ou. Paske ki dye ki genyen nan syèl la oswa sou tè a, ki kapab fè kalite zèv sa yo, zèv pwisan tankou pa Ou yo?
‘Lord God, you have begun to reveal your greatness and your very strong hand to your servant. For there is no other god, either in heaven or on earth, who is able to accomplish your works, or to be compared to your strength.
25 Kite mwen pase, mwen priye Ou, travèse wè bèl peyi ki lòtbò Jourdain an, bèl peyi mòn sa a, avèk Liban.’
Therefore, I will cross over, and I will view this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this singular mountain, and Lebanon.’
26 “Men SENYÈ a te fache avèk mwen akoz nou menm, e Li pa t koute mwen. SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Sa sifi! Pa pale M ankò de zafè sa a.
And the Lord became angry with me because of you, and he would not heed me. But he said to me: ‘It is enough for you. You shall no longer speak to me at all about this matter.
27 Monte sou tèt Pisga, leve zye ou vè lwès, nan nò, sid avèk lès, e gade li avèk zye ou, paske ou p ap travèse Jourdain an.
Ascend to the summit of Pisgah, and look around with your eyes to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it. For you shall not cross this Jordan.
28 Men pale Josué, ankouraje li e ba li fòs, paske li va ale lòtbò a nan tèt a pèp sa a, e li va bay yo li kòm eritaj pa yo peyi ke ou va wè a.’
Instruct Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him. For he shall go before this people, and he shall distribute to them the land that you will see.’
29 “Konsa, nou te rete nan vale a anfas Beth-Peor a.”
And we remained in the valley, opposite the shrine of Peor.”
