Jozye 20
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale a Josué e te di:
And the Lord spak to Josue, and seide, Spek thou to the sones of Israel, and seie thou to hem,
2 “Pale a fis Israël yo e di: ‘Etabli vil azil ke M te pale ou pa Moïse yo,
Departe ye the citees of fugytyues, `ether of men exilid for vnwilful schedyng of blood, of whiche citees Y spak to you bi the hond of Moises,
3 pou moun ki touye nenpòt moun san li pa fè eksprè, san reflechi yo, pou yo kapab sove ale rive la. Yo va vin yon azil kont vanjè san an.
that whoeuer sleeth vnwytyngli a man, fle to tho citees;
4 Li va sove ale rive nan youn nan vil sila yo. Yo va kanpe nan antre pòtay a vil sa a pou pwononse ka li a pou ansyen yo nan vil la tande. Konsa, yo va fè l antre nan vil kote yo a, yo va ba li yon kote pou li kapab rete pami yo.
that whanne he hath fled to oon of these citees, he may ascape the ire of the neiybore, which is veniere of blood. And he schal stonde bifor the yatis of the citee, and he schal speke to the eldre men of that citee tho thingis that schulen preue hym innocent; and so thei schulen reseyue hym, and schulen yyue to hym place to dwelle.
5 Alò, si vanjè san an vin kouri dèyè li, yo pa pou livre moun ki touye moun nan nan men yo, akoz li te frape vwazen li an san reflechi e li pa t rayi li avan lè.
And whanne the vengere of blood pursueth hym, thei schulen not bitake hym in to the hondis of the vengere; for vnwityngli he killide his neiybore, and is not preued his enemy bifor the secounde dai ethir the thridde dai.
6 Li va rete nan vil sa a jiskaske li kanpe devan asanble a pou jijman, jiska lanmò a wo prèt la nan jou epòk sa a. Epi moun ki te touye moun nan va retounen nan pwòp vil pa li ak pwòp kay pa li, nan vil sila li te sove ale a.’”
And he schal dwelle in that citee, til he stonde bifor the doom, and yelde cause of his dede. And he that killide a man, dwelle `in that citee, til the grete preest die, which is in that tyme; thanne the mansleere schal turne ayen, and he schal entre in to his citee and hows, `fro which he fledde.
7 Konsa, yo te mete akote Kédesh nan Galilée nan peyi ti kolin yo a Nephtali, Sichem nan peyi ti kolin yo a Éphraïm ak Kirjath-Arba (sa vle di, Hébron) nan peyi ti kolin Juda a.
And thei ordeyneden Cedes in Galilee, of the hil of Neptalym, and Sichem in the hil of Effraym, and Cariatharbe, thilke is Ebron, in the hil of Juda.
8 Lòtbò Jourdain an, sòti Jéricho vè lès, yo te dezinye Betser nan dezè a sou plèn nan pou tribi Ruben an, Ramoth nan Galaad pou tribi Gad la ak Golan nan Basan pou tribi Manassé a.
And biyende Jordan, ayens the eest coost of Jerico, thei ordeyneden Bosor, which is set in the feeldi wildirnesse of the lynage of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad, of the lynage of Gad, and Gaulon in Basan, of the lynage of Manasses.
9 Sila yo se te vil yo chwazi pou tout fis Israël yo, pou etranje ki demere pami yo, pou nenpòt moun ki touye yon moun san eksprè, kapab sove ale rive la e pa mouri pa men a vanjè san an jiskaske li vin kanpe devan asanble a.
These citees weren ordeyned to alle the sones of Israel, and to comelyngis that dwellen among hem, that he that killide vnwityngli a man, schulde fle to tho citees; and he schulde not die in the hond of neiybore, coueitynge to venge the blood sched out, til he stood bifor the puple, to declare his cause.
