Jozye 10
1 Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Adoni-Tsédek, wa Jérusalem nan te tande ke Josué te kapte Aï e te detwi li nèt (jis jan ke li te fè Jéricho avèk wa li a, konsa li te fè Aïavèk wa li a), e ke pèp Gabaon an te fè lapè avèk Israël e yo te rete nan mitan yo,
Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, learned that Joshua had captured Ai and destroyed the town completely, as he had also done to Jericho, and had killed its king, just as he had the king of Jericho. He also heard that the Gibeonites had made peace with the Israelites and were allied with them.
2 ke li te vin pè anpil, akoz Gabaon te yon gran vil tankou youn nan vil wayal yo, epi akoz li te pi gran ke Aï e tout gason li yo te pwisan.
The people of Jerusalem were very frightened by this because Gibeon was a large town—as large as any town ruled by the king, and larger than Ai, and its men were tough fighters.
3 Pou sa, Adoni-Tsédek, wa Jérusalem nan te voye Hoham, wa Hébron an ak Piream, wa Jarmuth ak Japhia, wa Lakis avèk Debir, wa Eglon an, e te di:
So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent a message to Hoham, king of Hebron, Piram, king of Jarmuth, Japhia, king of Lachish, and Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
4 “Vin monte kote mwen pou ede m. Annou atake Gabaon, paske yo te fè lapè avèk Josué e avèk fis Israël yo.”
“Come and help me attack Gibeon because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
5 Konsa, senk wa Amoreyen yo, wa Jérusalem nan, wa Hébron an, wa Jarmuth lan, wa Lakis la ak wa Eglon an te monte, yo menm avèk tout lame yo, yo te fè kan akote Gabaon pou te goumen kont li.
So these five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and their armies gathered and set off. They surrounded Gibeon and then began their attack.
6 Mesye Gabaon yo te voye kote Josué kote kan Guilgal la, e te di: “Pa abandone sèvitè ou yo; vin monte kote nou pou ede nou; paske tout wa Amoreyen ki rete nan peyi kolin yo te vin rasanble kont nou.”
The Gibeonites sent a message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Please don't abandon us, your servants! Come quickly and save us! We need your help for all the Amorite kings of the hill country have joined in attacking us.”
7 Alò, Josué te monte soti Guilgal, li menm ansanm ak tout moun lagè yo ak tout gèrye vanyan yo.
So Joshua, all his fighting men and best fighters, set off from Gilgal.
8 SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Pa pè yo, paske Mwen te mete yo nan men ou. Pa menm youn nan yo va kanpe devan ou.”
The Lord had said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid of them, for you will defeat them. Not a single one will be able to stand against you.”
9 Konsa, Josué te parèt sou yo sibitman akoz yo te mache nan nwit lan soti Guilgal.
By marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua arrived without warning.
10 Epi SENYÈ a te fè yo fè dega devan Israël. Li te touye yo avèk yon gwo masak nan Gabaon, Li te kouri dèyè yo nan chemen pant Beth-Horon e Li te frape yo jis rive Azéka, avèk Makkéda.
The Lord threw the Amorite armies into a panic when they saw the Israelites. He struck them down with a great blow at Gibeon; he chased them all the way up to Beth-horon, cutting them down on the way to Azekah and Makkedah.
11 Pandan yo t ap sove ale devan Israël, pandan yo t ap desann pant Beth-Horon an, SENYÈ a te voye gwo wòch sòti nan syèl la sou yo jis rive Azéka, e yo te mouri. Pifò nan yo te mouri akoz gwo lagrèl ke sila ke fis Israël yo te touye avèk lam nepe yo.
As they ran away from the Israelites down the slope from Beth-horon, the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the skies all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than we killed by the swords of the Israelites.
12 Konsa, Josué te pale avèk SENYÈ a nan jou ke SENYÈ a te livre Amoreyen yo devan fis Israël yo. Li te pale devan tout zye a fis Israël yo: “O solèy, kanpe an plas sou Gabaon! Epi lalin nan, rete la, nan vale Ajalon!”
On the day that the Lord handed the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke by the Lord in the presence of the Israelites, saying, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon! Moon, stand still over the Valley of Aijalon!”
13 Alò, solèy la te kanpe e lalin nan pa t deplase Jiskaske nasyon an te fè revandikasyon an yo menm, sou lènmi yo. Èske sa pa ekri nan liv Jaser a? Solèy la te rete nan mitan syèl la e li pa t deplase pandan anviwon yon jou konplè.
The sun stopped moving, and the moon stood still, until the nation of Israel had inflicted defeat on their enemies. (This is recorded in the Book of Jashar). The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not go down for around a full day.
14 Pa t gen jou tankou sila a ni devan li, ni apre li, lè SENYÈ a te koute vwa a yon moun; paske SENYÈ a te goumen pou Israël.
There wasn't a day like this ever before or since when the Lord listened to a human voice in such a way. It was because the Lord was fighting for Israel.
15 Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te retounen nan kan an Guilgal.
Then Joshua and all the army returned to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Men senk wa sila yo te sove ale pou te kache kò yo nan gwòt Makkéda a.
The five kings had run away and hid in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Li te pale a Jousé ke: “Senk wa yo te twouve kache nan gwòt Makkéda a.”
When Joshua was told that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah,
18 Josué te di: “Woule gwo wòch yo kont bouch gwòt la; epi mete mesye yo veye l,
he gave this order, “Roll some large stones to block the entrance to the cave and have some men guard it.
19 men pa rete nou menm. Swiv lènmi nou yo pou atake yo pa dèyè. Pa kite yo antre nan vil yo, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre yo nan men nou.”
But don't you stay there. Chase the enemy down and attack them from the rear. Don't let them escape to their towns for the Lord has given them to you to defeat.”
20 Li te vin rive ke lè Josué avèk fis Israël yo te fin touye yo avèk yon gwo masak, jiskaske yo tout te fin detwi e sila ki te chape yo, yo te antre nan vil fòtifye yo,
So Joshua and the Israelites totally defeated them, striking them down and killing them. Only a few of them survived to escape back to their towns.
21 pou tout pèp la te retounen nan kan an kote Josué nan Makkéda anpè. Pèsòn pa t pale yon mo kont fis Israël yo.
The army returned to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared even to threaten the Israelites.
22 Epi Jousé te di: “Ouvri bouch gwòt la e mennen senk wa sa yo sòti nan gwòt la.”
Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance and bring out the five kings to me from the cave.”
23 Se konsa yo te fè, yo te mennen senk wa sila yo soti deyò gwòt la: wa Jérusalem nan, wa Hébron an, wa Jarmuth lan, wa Lakis la ak wa Eglon an.
So they did, bringing out the five kings from the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
24 Lè yo te mennen wa sa yo sòti kote Josué, Josué te rele tout mesye Israël yo. Li te di a chèf gèrye yo ki te ale avèk l, “Vin mete pye nou sou kou a wa sa yo.” Epi yo te vini epou te mete pye yo sou kou yo.
When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the fighting men, and said to the commanders who had gone with him, “Come here, and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came over and put their feet on their necks.
25 Epi Josué te di yo: “Pa pè, ni dekouraje! Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj, paske konsa SENYÈ a va fè a tout lènmi nou yo lè yo goumen avèk nou.”
Joshua said to them, “Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! Be strong and be brave! For the Lord is going to do the same thing to all your enemies that you're going to fight!”
26 Epi answit, Josué te frape yo e te mete yo a lanmò, epi te pann yo sou senk pyebwa. Yo te pann sou bwa yo jis rive nan aswè.
Then Joshua killed the kings and hung their bodies on five trees and left them hanging there until the evening.
27 Li te rive nan lè solèy kouche ke Josué te bay yon kòmand pou yo te desann yo nan pyebwa yo, e jete yo nan gwòt kote yo te kache kò yo a. Yo te mete gwo wòch sou bouch gwòt la, ki la jis jodi a.
As the sun went down Joshua gave the order to take their bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. Then the Israelites piled up stones over the entrance to the cave, and they are there to this very day.
28 Alò, Josué te kaptire Makkéda nan jou sa a. Li te frape l, ansanm ak wa li a avèk lam nepe. Li te konplètman detwi li ak tout moun ki te ladann. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan. Konsa li te fè a wa Makkéda a, jis jan ke li te fè a wa Jéricho a.
That day Joshua captured Makkedah, killing all its inhabitants, including the king. He set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He killed the king of Makkedah just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
29 Epi Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te pase soti Makkéda a Libna pou te goumen kont Libna.
Then Joshua and the Israelite army left Makkedah and went to attack Libnah,
30 SENYÈ a te bay Libna tou ansanm ak wa li nan men Israël. Li te frape li ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan ladann. Konsa li te fè a wa a li menm bagay ke li te fè a wa Jéricho a.
and the Lord gave the town and its king to the Israelites. Joshua had everyone in it killed, leaving no survivors. He killed its king just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
31 Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te pase soti nan Libna a Lakis. Yo te fè kan kontra li e te goumen kont li.
Then Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Libnah to Lachish, surrounding the town and attacking it.
32 SENYÈ a te bay Lakis nan men Israël. Li te kaptire li nan dezyèm jou a. Li te frape li ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe, jis jan ke li te fè a Libna a.
The Lord gave the town to the Israelites who captured it on the second day. Joshua had everyone in it killed, just as he had done in Libnah.
33 Alò Horam, wa Guézer a, te monte pou ede Lakis. Jousé te bat li ak pèp li a jiskaske li pa t kite moun vivan.
Then Horam, king of Gezer, came with his army to help Lachish, but Joshua and his men killed them, leaving no survivors.
34 Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël te kite Lakis pou Églon; Yo te fè kan kontra li e te goumen kont li.
Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounding the town and attacking it.
35 Yo te kaptire li nan jou sila a e te frape li avèk lam nepe. Nan jou sa a, li te konplètman detwi tout moun ki te ladann, jis jan li te fè a Lakis la.
They captured it the same day. Joshua had everyone in it killed that very day. He set it apart and completely destroyed it, just as he had done in Lachish.
36 Alò, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te monte soti Églon a Hébron, epi yo te goumen kont li.
Joshua and the Israelite army left Eglon and went to attack Hebron.
37 Yo te kaptire li, frape li ak wa li a avèk tout vil li yo ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan, jis jan li te fè Eglon an. Li te konplètman detwi li avèk tout moun ki te ladann.
They captured the town, as well as the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Eglon, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it.
38 Epi Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te retounen a Debir pou yo te goumen kont li.
Then Joshua and the Israelite army turned and went to attack Debir.
39 Li te kaptire li avèk wa li a, ak tout vil li yo. Yo te frape yo avèk lam nepe e te detwi yo nèt tout moun ladann. Li pa t kite moun vivan. Jis jan ke li te fè Hébron an, konsa li te fè Debir avèk wa li a e li te osi fè nan Libna avèk wa li a.
He captured it and its king and all the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Hebron, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it. He killed the king of Debir just as he had killed the king of Libnah.
40 Konsa, Josué te frape tout peyi a, peyi kolin yo avèk Negev la ak bas plèn nan avèk pant yo ak tout wa yo. Li pa t kite moun vivan, men li te konplètman detwi tout moun ki te gen souf lavi, jis jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, te kòmande a.
So Joshua conquered the whole land—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes—and all their kings. He didn't leave a single survivor. He killed everyone as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
41 Josué te frape yo soti Kadès-Barnéa, jis rive Gaza.
Joshua destroyed them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and the whole of the land from Goshen to Gibeon.
42 Jousé te kaptire tout wa sila yo avèk peyi yo nan yon sèl kou, akoz SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, te goumen pou Israël.
All the kings and their lands were conquered by Joshua in one campaign because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for the Israelites.
43 Epi Josué ak tout Israël avèk li te retounen nan kan Guilgal la.
Joshua and the Israelite army then returned to the camp at Gilgal.
