Jozye 4
1 Alò, lè tout nasyon an te fin travèse Jourdain an, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Josué. Li te di:
And it was just when they had finished all the nation to pass over the Jordan. And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.
2 “Pran pou nou menm douz mesye pami pèp la, yon mesye ki soti nan chak tribi.
Take for yourselves from the people two [plus] ten men a man one a man one from a tribe.
3 Kòmande yo e di: ‘Ranmase pou kont nou douz wòch soti isit la nan mitan Jourdain an, soti nan plas kote pye prèt la ap kanpe fèm nan. Pote yo janbe avèk nou, e poze yo nan plas lojman kote nou va dòmi aswè a.’”
And command them saying take up for yourselves from here from [the] middle of the Jordan from [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests to make firm two [plus] ten stones and you will take over them with you and you will set down them at the lodging place which you will stay at it this night.
4 Konsa, Josué te rele douz mesye ke li te chwazi soti nan fis Israël yo, yon mesye nan chak tribi,
And he called Joshua to two [plus] the ten man whom he had appointed from [the] people of Israel a man one a man one from a tribe.
5 epi Josué te di yo: “Travèse ankò vè lach SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou rive nan mitan Jourdain an e nou chak pran yon wòch sou zepòl li, selon nonb a tribi a fis Israël yo.
And he said to them Joshua pass over before [the] ark of Yahweh God your into [the] middle of the Jordan and take up for yourselves each a stone one on shoulder his to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel.
6 Ke sa sèvi kòm yon sign pami nou, jis pou lè pitit nou yo mande pita e di: ‘Kisa wòch sa yo vle di a nou menm’?
So that it may be this a sign in midst your if they will ask! children your tomorrow saying what? [are] the stones these to you.
7 Alò nou va di yo: ‘Akoz dlo Jourdain yo te koupe devan lach akò SENYÈ a. Lè lach la te travèse Jourdain an, dlo Jourdain yo te koupe. Pou sa, wòch sa yo va sèvi kòm yon souvni pou fis Israël yo pou tout tan.’”
And you will say to them that they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan from before [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh when passed on it in the Jordan they were cut off [the] waters of the Jordan and they will become the stones these a reminder to [the] people of Israel until perpetuity.
8 Konsa, fis Israël yo te fè jan Josué te kòmande yo a. Yo te leve pran douz wòch yo nan mitan Jourdain an, jan SENYÈ a te pale a Josué a, selon nonb a tribi a fis Israël yo, epi yo te pote yo janbe avèk yo pou rive nan plas lojman an e te poze yo la.
And they did thus [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Joshua and they took up two [plus] ten stones from [the] middle of the Jordan just as he had said Yahweh to Joshua to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel and they took over them with them to the lodging place and they set down them there.
9 Epi Josué te poze douz wòch yo nan mitan Jourdain an nan plas kote pye a prèt yo ki te pote lach akò a te kanpe. Yo la, jis jodi a.
And two [plus] ten stones he set up Joshua in [the] middle of the Jordan in [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the covenant and they have been there until the day this.
10 Paske prèt yo ki te pote lach la te kanpe nan mitan Jourdain an jiskaske tout bagay ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Josué pou pale a pèp la te fini, selon tout sa ke Moïse te kòmande Josué yo. Konsa, pèp la te fè vit travèse.
And the priests [the] bearers of the ark [were] standing in [the] middle of the Jordan until was finished every thing which he had commanded Yahweh Joshua to speak to the people according to all that he had commanded Moses Joshua and they hurried the people and they passed over.
11 Lè tout pèp la te fin travèse, lach SENYÈ a avèk prèt yo te travèse nan prezans a pèp la.
And it was just when it had finished all the people to pass over and it passed over [the] ark of Yahweh and the priests before the people.
12 Fis Ruben yo ak fis a Gad yo ak mwatye tribi Manassé a te janbe abiye e prepare pou fè lagè devan fis Israël yo, jis jan ke Moïse te pale yo a.
And they passed over [the] descendants of Reuben and [the] descendants of Gad and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh arrayed for battle before [the] people of Israel just as he had spoken to them Moses.
13 Anviwon karant mil mesye, prèt pou batay, te travèse devan SENYÈ a vè plèn dezè a Jéricho a.
About forty thousand armed [men] of war they passed over before Yahweh for battle to [the] plains of Jericho.
14 Nan jou sa a, SENYÈ a te egzalte Josué nan zye a tout Israël; jis pou yo genyen l respè avèk lakrent, jis jan ke yo te gen respè avèk lakrent pou Moïse pandan tout jou ke li te viv yo.
On the day that he made great Yahweh Joshua in [the] eyes of all Israel and they feared him just as they had feared Moses all [the] days of life his.
15 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Josué:
And he said Yahweh to Joshua saying.
16 “Kòmande prèt ki pote lach akò a pou monte kite Jourdain an.”
Command the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of the testimony so they may come up from the Jordan.
17 Konsa, Josué te kòmande prèt yo. Li te di: “Monte soti nan Jourdain an.”
And he commanded Joshua the priests saying come up from the Jordan.
18 Li te vin rive ke lè prèt ki te pote lach SENYÈ yo te kite mitan Jourdain an, e pla pye yo te monte sou tè sèk, dlo Jourdain an te retounen nan plas li e te depase rivaj yo kòm avan an.
And it was (just as came up *Q(K)*) the priests [the] bearers of [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh from [the] middle of the Jordan they were drawn out [the] soles of [the] feet of the priests to the dry ground and they returned [the] waters of the Jordan to place their and they went as yesterday three days ago over all banks its.
19 Konsa, pèp la te monte kite Jourdain an nan dizyèm jou a premye mwa a, epi yo te fè kan nan Guilgal akote lès Jéricho.
And the people they went up from the Jordan on the ten of the month first and they encamped at Gilgal on [the] edge of [the] east of Jericho.
20 Douz wòch sa yo ke yo te pran nan Jourdain an, Josué te monte nan Guilgal.
And two [plus] ten the stones these which they had taken from the Jordan he set up Joshua at Gilgal.
21 Li te di a fis Israël yo: “Lè pitit nou yo mande papa yo nan tan k ap vini yo, e di: ‘Kisa wòch sa yo ye?’
And he said to [the] people of Israel saying that they will ask! children your tomorrow fathers their saying what? [are] the stones these.
22 Alò, nou va eksplike pitit nou yo pou di: ‘Israël te travèse Jourdain sila a sou tè sèk’.
And you will make known to children your saying on the dry ground it passed over Israel the Jordan this.
23 Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te seche dlo Jourdain yo devan nou jiskaske nou te fin travèse, jis jan ke Li te fè nan Lamè Wouj la, ke Li te seche devan nou jiskaske nou te fin travèse a,
That he dried up Yahweh God your [the] waters of the Jordan from before you until had passed over you just as he did Yahweh God your to [the] sea of reed[s] which he dried up from before us until had passed over we.
24 pou tout pèp sou latè yo kapab konnen ke men SENYÈ a pwisan, pou nou kapab gen lakrent SENYÈ a pou tout tan.”
So as to know all [the] peoples of the earth [the] hand of Yahweh that [is] mighty it so that you may fear Yahweh God your all the days.
