Jozye 4

1 Alò, lè tout nasyon an te fin travèse Jourdain an, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Josué. Li te di:

And whanne thei weren passid ouer, the Lord seide to Josue,

2 “Pran pou nou menm douz mesye pami pèp la, yon mesye ki soti nan chak tribi.

Chese thou twelue men,

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.’”

by ech lynage o man, and comaunde thou to hem, that thei take fro the myddis of the trow of Jordan, where the `feet of preestis stoden, twelue hardiste stoonys; whiche thou schalt sette in the place of castels, where ye schulen sette tentis in this nyyt.

4 Konsa, Josué te rele douz mesye ke li te chwazi soti nan fis Israël yo, yon mesye nan chak tribi,

And Josue clepide twelue men, whiche he hadde chose of the sones of Israel, of ech lynage o man;

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 seide to hem, Go ye bifore the arke of youre Lord God to the myddis of Jordan, and bere ye fro thennus in youre schuldris ech man o stoon, bi the noumbre of the sones 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’?

that it be a signe bitwixe you. And whanne youre sones schulen axe you to morewe, that is, in tyme `to comynge, and schulen seie, What wolen these stonus `to hem silf?

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.’”

ye schulen answere to hem, The watris of Jordan failiden bifor the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, whanne the arke passide Jordan; therfor these stoonus ben set in to mynde of the sones of Israel, til in to withouten ende.

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.

Therfor the sones of Israel diden as Josue comaundide to hem, and baren fro the myddis of the trow of Jordan twelue stoonys, as the Lord comaundide to hem, bi the noumbre of the sones of Israel, `til to the place in which thei settiden tentis; and there thei puttiden tho stonys.

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.

Also Josue puttide othire twelue stoonys in the myddis of the trow of Jordan, where the preestis stoden, that baren the arke of boond of pees of the Lord; and tho stoonys ben there `til in to present dai.

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.

Forsothe the preestis, that baren the arke, stoden in the myddis of Jordan, til alle thingis weren fillid, whiche the Lord comaundide, that Josue schulde speke to the puple, as Moises hadde seide to hym. And the puple hastide, and passide.

11 Lè tout pèp la te fin travèse, lach SENYÈ a avèk prèt yo te travèse nan prezans a pèp la.

And whanne alle men hadden passid, also the arke of the Lord passide, and the preestis yeden bifor the puple.

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.

Also the sones of Ruben, and of Gad, and half the lynage of Manasse, yeden armed bifor the sones of Israel, as Moyses comaundide to hem.

13 Anviwon karant mil mesye, prèt pou batay, te travèse devan SENYÈ a vè plèn dezè a Jéricho a.

And fourti thousynde of fiyters yeden bi her cumpanyes and gaderyngis on the pleyn and feeldi places of the citee of Jerico.

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.

In that day the Lord magnyfiede Josue bifor al Israel, that thei schulden drede hym, as thei dreden Moises, while he lyuede yit.

15 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Josué:

And the Lord seide to Josue,

16 “Kòmande prèt ki pote lach akò a pou monte kite Jourdain an.”

Comaunde thou to the preestis that beren the arke of boond of pees, that thei stie fro Jordan.

17 Konsa, Josué te kòmande prèt yo. Li te di: “Monte soti nan Jourdain an.”

And Josue comaundide to hem, and seide, Stie ye fro 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 whanne thei hadden stied, berynge the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, and hadde bigunne to trede on the drie erthe, the watris turneden ayen in to her trowe, and flowiden, as tho weren wont before.

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.

Forsothe the puple stiede fro Jordan in the tenthe dai of the firste monethe, and thei settiden tentis in Galgalis, ayens the eest coost of the citee of Jerico.

20 Douz wòch sa yo ke yo te pran nan Jourdain an, Josué te monte nan Guilgal.

Also Josue puttide in Galgalis the twelue stonys, whiche thei hadden take fro the trow of Jordan.

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 seide to the sones of Israel, Whanne youre sones schulen axe to morewe her fadris, and schulen seie to hem, What wolen these stoonys `to hem silf?

22 Alò, nou va eksplike pitit nou yo pou di: ‘Israël te travèse Jourdain sila a sou tè sèk’.

ye schulen teche hem, and ye schulen seie, We passiden this Jordan bi the drie botme,

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,

for oure Lord God driede the watris therof in oure siyt, til we passiden, as he dide bifore in the Reed See, which he driede while we passiden,

24 pou tout pèp sou latè yo kapab konnen ke men SENYÈ a pwisan, pou nou kapab gen lakrent SENYÈ a pou tout tan.”

that alle the puplis of londis lurne the strongeste hond of the Lord, that also ye drede youre Lord God in al tyme.
