Jozye 11
1 Epi li te vin rive ke lè Jabin, wa Hatsor a, te tande koze a, li te voye kote Jobab, wa Madon an, kote wa Schimron ak kote wa Acschaph,
Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon; to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph;
2 ak wa ki te nan nò nan peyi kolin yo ak nan Araba a—-plis nan sid a Kinnéreth, nan ba plèn nan ak sou wotè a Dor nan lwès,
to the kings of the north in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Chinnereth, in the foothills, and in Naphoth-dor to the west;
3 vè Kananeyen yo nan lès ak nan lwès, Amoreyen yo, Etyen yo, Ferezyen yo ak Jebizyen yo nan peyi kolin yo ak Evyen yo nan pye Mòn Hermon nan peyi Mitspa a.
to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Yo te sòti, yo menm avèk tout lame yo avèk yo, fòs kantite moun tankou grenn sab bò lanmè, avèk anpil cheval ak cha.
So these kings came out with all their armies, a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore, along with a great number of horses and chariots.
5 Tout wa sila yo te reyini. Yo te vin fè kan an ansanm vè dlo a Mérom yo pou goumen kont Israël.
All these kings joined forces and encamped at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
6 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Jousé: “Pa pè akoz yo menm, paske demen nan lè sa a, mwen va livre yo tou mouri devan Israël. Nou va koupe jarèt cheval yo e brile cha yo avèk dife.”
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for by this time tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn up their chariots.”
7 Konsa, Jousé avèk tout moun lagè yo te parèt sou yo sibitman toupre dlo Mérom yo pou atake yo.
So by the waters of Merom, Joshua and his whole army came upon them suddenly and attacked them,
8 SENYÈ a te livre yo nan men Israël pou yo te genyen yo. Yo te kouri dèyè yo jis rive nan Gran Sidon, ak Misrepoth-Maïm avèk vale a Mitspa nan lès. Yo te frape yo jiskaske pèsòn pa t viv ladan yo.
and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them down and pursued them all the way to Greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. They struck them down, leaving no survivors.
9 Josué te fè yo jan SENYÈ a te pale li a. Li te koupe jarèt cheval yo, e brile cha yo avèk dife.
Joshua treated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned up their chariots.
10 Epi Josué te retounen fè bak nan moman sa a pou te kaptire Hatsor e frape wa li a avèk nepe. Paske Hatsor, oparavan, te chèf an tèt tout wayòm sila yo.
At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.
11 Yo te frape tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe. Yo te detwi yo nèt. Pa t gen pèsòn ki te rete ap respire. Epi li te brile Hatsor avèk dife.
The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction. Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.
12 Josué te kaptire tout vil a wa sila yo, ak tout wa yo. Li te frape yo avèk lam nepe e li te detwi yo nèt, jis jan ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a te kòmande a.
Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded.
13 Sepandan, Israël pa t brile okenn nan vil ki te kanpe sou pwòp ti mòn pa yo, sof ke Hatsor sèl, ke Josué te brile.
Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua burned.
14 Tout piyaj lakay sila yo ak bèt yo, fis Israël yo te pran yo kòm byen sezi pa yo. Men yo te frape tout moun avèk lam nepe jiskaske yo te detwi yo. Yo pa t kite pèsòn respire.
The Israelites took for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but they put all the people to the sword until they had completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone who breathed.
15 Jis jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse, sèvitè li a, konsa Moïse te kòmande Josué, e konsa Josué te fè. Li pa t kite anyen pa fèt nan tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
As the LORD had commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
16 Konsa, Josué te pran tout teritwa sa a: peyi ti kolin yo ak tout Negev la, tout peyi Gosen nan, ba plèn nan, Araba a, peyi ti kolin Israël la ak ba plèn li,
So Joshua took this entire region: the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah, and the mountains of Israel and their foothills,
17 soti nan Mòn Halak ki leve vè Séir, menm jis rive lwen nan Baal-Gad nan vale Liban nan pye Mòn Hermon. Konsa, li te kaptire tout wa yo, li te frape yo ba e te mete yo a lanmò.
from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death.
18 Josué te pouswiv lagè pandan anpil tan avèk tout wa sa yo.
Joshua waged war against all these kings for a long period of time.
19 Pa t gen yon vil ki te fè lapè avèk fis Israël yo, sof ke Evyen ki te rete Gabaon yo. Se nan batay menm yo te pran yo.
No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; all others were taken in battle.
20 Paske se te volonte SENYÈ a pou yo ta fè kè yo vin di, pou yo te rankontre Israël nan batay, pou Li ta kapab detwi yo nèt, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts to engage Israel in battle, so that they would be set apart for destruction and would receive no mercy, being annihilated as the LORD had commanded Moses.
21 Josué te vini nan tan sa a, e li te koupe Anakim yo nan peyi ti kolin yo, soti Hébron, soti Debir, soti Anab ak tout peyi ti kolin nan Juda yo e soti nan tout peyi ti kolin an Israël yo. Josué te detwi yo nèt avèk vil yo.
At that time Joshua proceeded to eliminate the Anakim from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction, along with their cities.
22 Pa t gen Anakim ki te rete nan peyi fis Israël yo. Sèlman nan Gaza, nan Gath ak nan Asdod kèk te rete.
No Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did any survive.
23 Konsa, Josué te pran tout peyi a, selon tout sa ke SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse yo; epi Josué te bay li kòm eritaj a Israël selon divizyon pa yo selon tribi pa yo. Konsa, peyi a te gen repo kont lagè a.
So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
