Jozye 1
1 Alò, li te vin rive ke apre lanmò Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, ke SENYÈ a te pale avèk Josué, fis a Nun nan, sèvitè Moïse la. Li te di:
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,
2 “Moïse, sèvitè Mwen an, gen tan mouri. Pou sa, leve, travèse Jourdain sila a, ou menm avèk tout pèp sa a, nan peyi ke Mwen ap bay a yo menm, a fis Israël yo.
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, to the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 “Chak kote ke pla pye ou va pile, Mwen ap ba ou li, jis jan ke Mwen te pale a Moïse la.
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread on, that have I given to you, as I said to Moses.
4 Soti nan dezè a ak Liban sila a, menm jis rive nan gran rivyè a, Rivyè Lefrat la, tout peyi Etyen an, jis rive nan Gran Lamè a vè solèy kouche a va teritwa pa nou.
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 Nanpwen moun ki kapab kanpe devan ou pandan tout jou lavi ou. Menm jan ke Mwen te avèk Moïse la, Mwen va avèk ou. Mwen p ap fè bak ni abandone ou.
There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you: I will not fail you, nor forsake you.
6 Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj, paske ou va bay pèp sa a posesyon a peyi ke Mwen te sèmante a zansèt yo pou M ba yo a.
Be strong and of a good courage: for to this people shall you divide for an inheritance the land, which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 “Sèlman rete fò avèk anpil kouraj; fè atansyon pou fè tout sa lalwa ke Moïse, sèvitè Mwen an, te kòmande ou fè a. Pa vire ni adwat ni agoch, pou ou kapab reyisi nenpòt kote ke ou ale.
Only be you strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
8 “Liv lalwa sila a pa pou janm kite bouch ou, men ou va reflechi sou li lajounen kon lannwit, pou ou kapab fè atansyon pou fè tout sa ki ekri ladann; paske konsa, ou va fè chemen ou yo pwospere e konsa, yo va byen reyisi.
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
9 “Èske mwen pa t kòmande ou? Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj! Pa tranble ni enkyete, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, avèk ou nenpòt kote ou ale.”
Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
10 Konsa, Josué te kòmande ofisye pèp yo. Li te di:
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 “Pase nan mitan kan an e kòmande pèp la pou di yo: ‘Prepare pwovizyon nou. Paske nan twa jou, nou va travèse Jourdain sila a, pou antre pran peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou pou posede a.’”
Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days you shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God gives you to possess it.
12 A Ribenit yo avèk Gadit yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a, Josué te di:
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,
13 “Sonje pawòl ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te kòmande nou, lè l te di: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou repo, e Li va bannou peyi sa a.
Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God has given you rest, and has given you this land.
14 “‘Madanm nou yo, pitit nou yo ak bèt nou yo va rete nan peyi ke Moïse te bannou lòtbò Jourdain an; men nou va travèse devan frè nou yo, prepare an lòd batay la, tout sòlda vanyan nou yo e ou va bay yo soutyen,
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but you shall pass before your brothers armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;
15 jiskaske SENYÈ a bay frè nou yo repo, tankou nou, epi yo menm tou, yo posede peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bay yo a. Epi nan lè sa a, nou va retounen nan pwòp teren pa nou an, e posede sa ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te bannou lòtbò Jourdain an, vè solèy leve a.’”
Until the LORD have given your brothers rest, as he has given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God gives them: then you shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’s servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sun rise.
16 Yo te reponn Josué e te di: “Tout sa ke ou te kòmande nou, nou va fè l, epi nenpòt kote ke ou voye nou, nou va ale.
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us, we will go.
17 Jis jan ke nou te obeyi Moïse nan tout bagay la, konsa nou va obeyi ou. Sèlman ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab avèk ou tankou Li te avèk Moïse la.
According as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you: only the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
18 Nenpòt moun ki fè rebèl kont lòd ou, e ki pa obeyi pawòl ou yo nan tout sa ou kòmande li fè yo, li va vin mete a lanmò. Sèlman, kenbe fèm e pran kouraj.”
Whoever he be that does rebel against your commandment, and will not listen to your words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
