Jozye 2
1 Epi Josué, fis a Nun nan, te voye de mesye kòm espyon an sekrè soti Sittim. Li te di: “Ale gade peyi a, sitou Jéricho.” Epi yo te ale e te antre lakay a yon pwostitiye ki te rele Rahab. Yo te dòmi la.
And he sent Joshua [the] son of Nun from Shittim two men spies secretly saying go see the land and Jericho and they went and they went [the] house of a woman a prostitute and name her [was] Rahab and they lay down there.
2 Sa te pale a wa Jéricho a. Yo te di: “Gade byen, de mesye ki sòti nan fis Israël yo te vini isit la lannwit lan pou fè espyon nan peyi a.”
And it was told to [the] king of Jericho saying here! men they have come hither this night from [the] people of Israel to spy out the land.
3 Epi wa Jéricho a te voye vè Rahab e te di: “Mete deyò mesye ki te vin kote ou yo, paske yo te vin fè espyon nan peyi a.”
And he sent [the] king of Jericho to Rahab saying bring out the men who came to you who they came to house your for to spy out all the land they have come.
4 Men fanm nan ki te deja pran mesye yo pou kache yo, te di: “Wi, mesye sa yo te vini kote mwen, men mwen pa t konnen kote yo te sòti.
And she took the woman [the] two the men and she hid him and she said - right they came to me the men and not I knew from where [were] they.
5 Li te vin rive nan lè pou fèmen pòtay yo lè l te fènwa, ke mesye yo sòti deyò. Men mwen pa konnen kote mesye yo te ale. Kouri dèyè yo byen vit! Konsa, ou ka gen tan pran yo.”
And it was the gate [about] to shut at darkness and the men they went out not I know where? did they go the men pursue quickly after them for you will overtake them.
6 Men li te vrèman mennen yo anwo galri twati kay la, pou l te kache yo nan pakèt len ke li te mete an lòd sou twati kay la.
And she she had taken up them the roof towards and she had hidden them among [the] flax of the tree that had been arranged by her on the roof.
7 Konsa, mesye yo te kouri dèyè yo sou wout la pou rive nan lye pou travèse Jourdain an. Depi sila ki t ap pouswiv yo te pati, yo te fèmen pòtay la.
And the men they pursued after them [the] road of the Jordan to the fords and the gate people closed after just when they had gone out the pursuers after them.
8 Alò, avan yo te kouche, fi a te vin kote yo sou twati a.
And they not yet they had lain down! and she she went up to them on the roof.
9 Epi li te di mesye yo: “Mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a te bannou peyi a, e ke gwo laperèz nou gen tan tonbe sou nou. Tout kouraj abitan peyi a vin fonn e disparèt devan nou.
And she said to the men I know that he has given Yahweh to you the land and that it has fallen dread your on us and that they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of you.
10 Paske nou te tande jan SENYÈ a te fin seche dlo Lamè Wouj devan nou lè nou te sòti an Égypte la, ak sa nou te fè de wa Amoreyen ki te lòtbò Jourdain yo, a Sihon ak Og, ke nou te detwi nèt.
For we have heard this: he dried up Yahweh [the] waters of [the] sea of reed[s] from before you when came out you from Egypt and [that] which you did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [was] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon and to Og whom you totally destroyed them.
11 Lè nou vin tande sa, kè nou te fonn. Pa t gen kouraj ki te rete nan okenn moun ankò akoz nou menm, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se Li ki Bondye anwo nan syèl la e anba sou tè a.
And we heard and it melted heart our and not it arose again spirit in anyone because of you for Yahweh God your he [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
12 “Alò, pou sa, souple, sèmante a mwen pa SENYÈ a, paske mwen te aji avèk bon kè anvè nou; ke nou, osi, nou va aji avèk bon kè anvè lakay papa m. Fè mwen yon sèman fidèl,
And therefore swear please to me by Yahweh for I have done with you loyalty and you will do also you with [the] household of father my loyalty and you will give to me a sign of faithfulness.
13 pou konsève lavi papa m avèk manman m, frè m avèk sè m yo avèk tout moun ki pou yo, e livre lavi nou sòti nan lanmò.”
And you will let live father my and mother my and brothers my and (sisters my *Q(K)*) and all who [belong] to them and you will deliver lives our from death.
14 Konsa, mesye yo te di l: “Vi pa nou pou vi pa w si ou pa pale zafè nou; epi li va rive ke lè SENYÈ a bannou peyi a, ke nou va aji avèk bon kè, e fidèlman avèk ou.”
And they said to her the men life our for you to die if not you will tell business our this and it will be when gives Yahweh to us the land and we will do with you loyalty and faithfulness.
15 Konsa, li te fè yo desann nan fenèt la pa yon kòd; paske lakay li a se te sou miray lavil la, kòmsi li t ap viv sou miray la.
And she let down them with rope through the window for house her [was] in [the] wall of the city wall and in the city wall she [was] dwelling.
16 Li te di yo: “Ale nan peyi kolin yo, pou sila k ap kouri dèyè nou yo pa twouve nou. Kache kò nou la pandan twa jou jiskaske sila k ap kouri dèyè nou yo retounen. Epi apre, nou kapab fè wout nou.”
And she said to them the hill country towards go lest they should meet you the pursuers and you will hide yourselves there three days until return the pursuers and after you will go to way your.
17 Mesye yo te di li: “Nou p ap responsab sèman ke ou te fè nou fè a,
And they said to her the men [will be] free we from oath your this which you made swear us.
18 amwenske lè nou antre nan peyi a, ou mare kòd fisèl wouj sa a nan fenèt kote ou te fè nou desann nan. Epi rasanble ou menm nan kay la avèk papa ou ak manman ou, frè ou yo ak tout manm lakay papa ou yo.
Here! we [are] about to come in the land [the] cord of [the] thread of the scarlet this you will bind in the window which you let down us in it and father your and mother your and brothers your and all [the] household of father your you will gather to you the house towards.
19 Li va rive ke nenpòt moun ki ale deyò pòt lakay ou pou antre nan lari a, san li va sou pwòp tèt li e nou va lib de sèman an. Men nenpòt moun ki avèk ou nan kay la, san pa li va sou tèt nou si yon moun men mete sou li.
And it will be every [one] who he will go out from [the] doors of house your - the outside towards blood his [will be] on own head his and we [will be] free and every [one] who he will be with you in the house blood his [will be] on head our if a hand it will be on him.
20 Men si ou pale zafè sa a; alò, nou va vin lib de sèman ke ou te fè nou fè a.”
And if you will tell business our this and we will be free from oath your which you made swear us.
21 Li te di: “Selon pawòl nou, ke sa vin fèt konsa.” Epi li te voye yo ale. Yo te pati, epi li te mare kòd wouj la nan fenèt la.
And she said according to words your [be] so it and she sent off them and they went and she bound [the] cord of the scarlet in the window.
22 Yo te pati pou te rive nan peyi kolin yo, e te rete la pandan twa jou jiskaske sila ki t ap pouswiv yo te retounen. Alò, moun ki t ap swiv yo te chache toupatou akote chemen an, men yo pa t twouve yo.
And they went and they came the hill country towards and they remained there three days until they returned the pursuers and they searched the pursuers in all the way and not they found [them].
23 Konsa, de mesye sa yo te desann peyi kolin yo pou te travèse rive kote Josué, fis a Nun nan. Yo te pale li tout sa ki te rive yo.
And they returned [the] two the men and they went down from the hill country and they passed over and they came to Joshua [the] son of Nun and they recounted to him all the [things that] had found with them.
24 Yo te di Josué: “Anverite, SENYÈ a te bannou tout peyi a nan men nou. Anplis, kè tout abitan peyi a tap fonn e disparèt devan nou.”
And they said to Joshua that he has given Yahweh in hand our all the land and also they have melted away all [the] inhabitants of the land because of us.
