< Jozye 6 >

1 Alò, Jéricho te byen sere pa fis Israël yo. Pèsòn pa t sòti ni antre.
Now Jericho was shut up tight because of the sons of Israel. None went out, and none came in.
2 SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Gade, Mwen te livre Jéricho nan men ou, avèk wa li ak gèrye vanyan li yo.
And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given Jericho into thy hand, and the king of it, and the mighty men of valor.
3 Mache antoure vil la avèk tout mesye lagè nou yo pou l tou ansèkle li yon fwa. Ou va fè sa pandan si jou.
And ye shall encompass the city, all the men of war, going around the city once. Thus shall thou do six days.
4 Anplis, sèt prèt va pote sèt twonpèt fèt ak kòn belye devan lach la. “Konsa, nan setyèm jou a, nou va mache antoure vil la sèt fwa e prèt yo va soufle twonpèt yo.
And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. And the seventh day ye shall encompass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5 Li va vin rive ke lè yo fè yon gwo son avèk kòn belye a, lè nou tande son twonpèt la, tout pèp la va rele fò avèk yon gwo bri; epi miray vil la va tonbe plat e pèp la va monte, chak moun tou dwat.”
And it shall be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout. And the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.
6 Konsa, Josué, fis la a Nun nan, te rele prèt yo. Li te di yo: “Pran lach akò a, e kite sèt prèt yo pote sèt twonpèt yo fèt avèk kòn belye yo devan lach SENYÈ a.”
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah.
7 Yo te di a pèp la: “Ale devan, mache antoure vil la e kite mesye ak zam yo ale devan lach SENYÈ a.”
And they said to the people, Pass on, and encompass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
8 Li te vin rive ke lè Josué te pale avèk pèp la, sèt prèt ki t ap pote sèt twonpèt a kòn belye yo devan SENYÈ a te avanse, e te soufle twonpèt yo, epi lach akò SENYÈ a te swiv yo.
And it was so, that, when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Jehovah passed on, and blew the trumpets. And the ark of the covenant of Jehovah followed them.
9 Mesye avèk zam yo te ale devan prèt ki tap soufle twonpèt yo, epi gad aryè a te swiv lach la, pandan yo te kontinye ap soufle twonpèt yo.
And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rearward went behind the ark, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
10 Men Josué te kòmande pèp la e te di: “Nou pa pou rele, ni kite yo tande vwa nou menm. Ni pa kite yon mo sòti nan bouch nou, jis rive jou ke m di nou: ‘Rele fò!’ Alò, nan moman sa a, nou va rele fò!”
And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I bid you shout. Then ye shall shout.
11 Konsa, li te fè lach SENYÈ a antoure vil la ansèkle l yon fwa. Konsa, yo te rantre nan kan an, e yo te pase nwit lan la nan kan an.
So he caused the ark of Jehovah to encompass the city, going around it once. And they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Alò, Josué te leve granmmaten, e prèt yo te leve pran lach SENYÈ a.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah.
13 Sèt prèt ki te pote sèt twonpèt kòn belye yo devan lach SENYÈ a, te kontinye san rete e te soufle twonpèt yo. Mesye avèk zam yo te ale devan yo, e gad an aryè yo te swiv lach SENYÈ a, pandan yo te kontinye ap soufle twonpèt yo.
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the rearward came behind the ark of Jehovah, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
14 Konsa, nan dezyèm jou a, yo te mache antoure vil la yon fwa e te retounen nan kan an. Yo te fè konsa pandan si jou.
And the second day they encompassed the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
15 Alò, nan setyèm jou a, yo te leve bonè avan jou, e te mache antoure vil la menm jan an sèt fwa. Sèl nan jou sa a, yo te mache antoure vil la sèt fwa.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and encompassed the city according to the same manner seven times. Only on that day they encompassed the city seven times.
16 Nan setyèm fwa a, lè prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo, Josué te di a pèp la: “Rele fò!” Paske SENYÈ a gen tan bannou vil la.
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout, for Jehovah has given you the city.
17 “Vil la va vin dedye anba ve, li menm avèk tout sa ki ladann se pou SENYÈ a. Sèl Rahab, pwostitiye a ak tout moun ki avè l nan kay la va viv, akoz li te kache mesaje ke nou te voye yo.
And the city shall be set apart, even it and all that is in it, to Jehovah. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 “Men pou nou menm, sèlman kenbe tèt nou apa pou pa fè bagay sa yo ki anba ve pou detwi, pou nou pa anvi yo e pran kèk bagay ki anba ve a, pou fè kay Israël la vin modi pou gwo pwoblèm vin sou li.
But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is set apart, lest when ye have set it apart, ye take from what is set apart. So ye would make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
19 Men tout ajan avèk lò, zafè an bwonz ak fè, sen a SENYÈ a. Yo va antre nan trezò SENYÈ a.”
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to Jehovah. They shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
20 Alò, pèp la te rele fò, prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo. Lè pèp la te tande son twonpèt la, yo te rele fò avèk yon gwo kri, epi miray la te tonbe plat. Epi konsa, pèp la te antre nan vil la, tout mesye toudwat pou yo te pran vil la.
So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. And it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21 Yo te detwi tout bagay nan vil la nèt; ni gason, ni fanm, jèn kon granmoun, ni bèf, ni mouton, ni bourik, pa lam nepe.
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 Josué te di a de mesye ki te fè espyonaj peyi yo: “Antre lakay pwostitiye a e mete fanm nan avèk tout sa li genyen deyò, jan nou te pwomèt li a.”
And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out from there the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore to her.
23 Konsa, jennonm ki te espyon yo te antre. Yo te mennen Rahab deyò avèk papa l ak manman l, frè li yo avèk tout sa li te genyen. Anplis, yo te mete deyò tout fanmi li yo e te plase yo deyò kan Israël la.
And the young men, the spies, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her kindred, and they set them outside the camp of Israel.
24 Yo te brile vil la avèk dife ak tout sa ki ladann. Sèlman ajan avèk lò avèk tout bagay ki te fèt an bwonz ak fè, yo te mete yo nan trezò kay SENYÈ a.
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
25 Sepandan, Rahab, pwostitiye a, avèk tout kay papa l ak tout sa li te genyen, Josué te konsève yo. Epi li te viv nan mitan Israël jis rive jodi a, paske li te kache mesaje ke Josué te voye pou fè espyonaj Jéricho yo.
But Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had. And she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Konsa, Josué te pase lòd sèman an nan lè sa a. Li te di: “Modi devan SENYÈ a se sila ki leve pou rebati vil sa a, Jéricho. Avèk pèt premye ne li yo, li va poze fondasyon li; avèk pèt denyè ne li yo, li va monte pòtay li yo.”
And Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he shall lay the foundation of it, and with the loss of his youngest son he shall set up the gates of it.
27 SENYÈ a te avèk Josué e li te vin byen rekonèt nan tout peyi a.
So Jehovah was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land.
