< 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,
When Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of 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,
and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on 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 Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under 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.
They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many 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 met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with 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.”
The LORD said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
7 Konsa, Jousé avèk tout moun lagè yo te parèt sou yo sibitman toupre dlo Mérom yo pou atake yo.
So Joshua came suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, 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.
The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one remaining.
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 did to them as the LORD told him. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
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.
Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor used to be the head of all those 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.
They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burnt Hazor with fire.
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 the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD 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.
But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burnt none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burnt that.
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 children of Israel took all the plunder of these cities, with the livestock, as plunder for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They didn’t leave any 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 commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD 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 captured all that land, the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same,
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, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.
18 Josué te pouswiv lagè pandan anpil tan avèk tout wa sa yo.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
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.
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all 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 come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD 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.
Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them 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.
There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
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 whole land, according to all that the LORD spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
