Jozye 7
1 Men fis Israël yo te aji avèk movèz fwa nan bagay ki te dedye anba ve yo; paske Acan, fis a Carmi a, fis a Zabdi, fis a Zérach, nan tribi Juda a, te pran kèk nan bagay ki te dedye anba ve yo. Pou sa, chalè SENYÈ a te brile kont fis Israël yo.
But the children of Israel did wrong about the cursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the family of Judah, took of the cursed thing, moving the Lord to wrath against the children of Israel.
2 Alò, Josué te voye mesye sòti Jéricho yo vè Aï, ki toupre Beth-Aven an, nan lès a Bethel la. Li te di yo: “Ale monte e fè espyonaj peyi a.” Konsa, mesye yo te monte pou te fè espyonaj Aï.
Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is by the side of Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and said to them, Go up and make a search through the land. And the men went up and saw how Ai was placed.
3 Yo te retounen a Josué e te di li: “Pa kite tout pèp la monte; sèlman de oswa twa mil mesye bezwen monte Aï. Pa fè tout pèp la fòse fè efò a, paske yo pa anpil.”
Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town.
4 Konsa, anviwon twa mil mesye ki sòti nan pèp la te monte; men yo te sove ale devan mesye Aï yo.
So about three thousand of the people went up, and were sent in flight by the men of Ai.
5 Mesye Aï yo te frape yo, mete ba anviwon trann-sis nan mesye yo. Yo te kouri dèyè yo soti nan pòtay la jis rive Schebarim pou te frape yo, mete yo ba pandan yo t ap desann, jiskaske kè pèp la te fonn e te vin tankou dlo.
The men of Ai put to death about thirty-six of them, driving them from before the town as far as the stoneworks, and overcoming them on the way down: and the hearts of the people became like water.
6 Josué te chire rad li, e te tonbe atè sou figi li devan lach SENYÈ a, jis rive nan aswè, ni li menm avèk ansyen a Israël yo. Epi yo te mete pousyè sou tèt yo.
Then Joshua, in great grief, went down on the earth before the ark of the Lord till the evening, and all the chiefs of Israel with him, and they put dust on their heads.
7 Josué te di: “Ay, O SENYÈ Bondye, poukisa Ou te janmen mennen pèp sila a travèse Jourdain an pou livre yo nan men a Amoreyen yo, pou detwi nou? Si sèlman, nou ta dakò rete lòtbò Jourdain an!
And Joshua said, O Lord God, why have you taken us over Jordan only to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction? If only it had been enough for us to keep on the other side of Jordan!
8 O SENYÈ, kisa mwen kapab di lòske Israël te vire do yo devan lènmi yo?
O Lord, what am I to say now that Israel have given way before their attackers?
9 Paske Canaran avèk tout abitan peyi a va tande sa. Yo va antoure nou e efase non nou sou tè a. Epi kisa Ou va fè pou lonè gran non Ou?”
For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name?
10 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Leve ou menm! Poukisa ou te tonbe sou figi ou?
Then the Lord said to Joshua, Get up; what are you doing with your face to the earth?
11 Israël te peche. Yo te anplis, fè transgresyon akò ke Mwen te kòmande yo a. Wi, yo te menm pran kèk nan bagay ki te dedye anba ve yo. Yo te vòlè ak twonpe. Anplis, yo te mete yo pami pwòp afè pa yo.
Israel has done wrong, sinning against the agreement which I made with them: they have even taken of the cursed thing; acting falsely like thieves they have put it among their goods.
12 Pou sa, fis Israël yo pa kapab kanpe devan lènmi yo. Yo vire do yo devan lènmi yo, paske yo te vin modi. Mwen p ap avèk nou ankò amwenske nou detwi bagay ki anba ve soti nan mitan nou yo.
For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you.
13 “Leve ou menm! Konsakre pèp la e di: ‘Konsakre nou menm pou demen. Paske konsa, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la te di: “Gen bagay ki anba ve a nan mitan nou, O Israël. Ou pa kapab kanpe devan lènmi ou yo jiskaske ou retire bagay ki anba ve yo soti nan mitan ou.”’”
Up! make the people holy; say to them, Make yourselves holy before tomorrow, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said, There is a cursed thing among you, O Israel, and you will give way before your attackers in the fight till the cursed thing has been taken away from among you.
14 “Nan maten, alò, ou va vin toupre tribi ou yo. Epi li va fèt ke tribi ke SENYÈ a pran pa tiraj osò a va apwoche pa fanmi. Epi fanmi ke SENYÈ a pran an va apwoche pa kay yo. Epi kay ke SENYÈ a pran an va pwoche moun pa moun.
So in the morning you are to come near, tribe by tribe; and the tribe marked out by the Lord is to come near, family by family; and the family marked out by the Lord is to come near, house by house; and the house marked out by the Lord is to come near, man by man.
15 Li va fèt ke sila ki pran bagay ki anba ve a va brile avèk dife, li menm avèk tout sa ki pou li, akoz li te transgrese akò SENYÈ a, e akoz li te fè yon gwo wont an Israël.”
Then the man who is taken with the cursed thing is to be burned, with everything which is his; because he has gone against the agreement of the Lord and has done an act of shame in Israel.
16 Konsa, Josué te leve bonè nan maten e te fè Israël pwoche pa tribi. Tribi Juda a te pran.
So Joshua got up early in the morning, and made Israel come before him by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken;
17 Li te fè fanmi Juda pwoche; li te pran fanmi Zérarit yo. Li te fè fanmi Zérarit la pwoche moun pa moun e Zabdi te pran.
Then he made Judah come forward, and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he made the family of the Zerahites come forward man by man; and Zabdi was taken;
18 Li te fè fanmi lakay li pwoche, moun pa moun, epi Acan, fis a Carmi, fis a Zabdi, fis a Zérach, nan tribi Juda a te pran.
Then the house of Zabdi came forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 Epi Josué te di Acan: “Fis mwen, souple, bay glwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, epi konfese a Li menm. Di mwen koulye a sa ou te fè a. Pa kache li de mwen.”
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel; give me word now of what you have done, and keep nothing back from me.
20 Konsa, Acan te reponn Josué e te di: “Anverite, mwen te peche kont SENYÈ a, Bondye a tout Israël la; men sa mwen te fè a:
And Achan, answering, said to Joshua, Truly I have done wrong against the Lord, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done:
21 Lè mwen te wè nan piyaj la yon bèl manto ki sòti Schinear ak de san sik ajan, yon ba lò a pèz senkant sik, alò, mwen te anvi yo e te pran yo. Epi gade byen, yo kache nan tè anndan tant mwen an avèk ajan an anba li.”
When I saw among their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it.
22 Konsa, Josué te voye mesaje yo. Yo te kouri vè tant lan, epi veye byen, li te kache nan tant li an avèk ajan an anba li.
So Joshua sent men quickly, and looking in his tent, they saw where the robe had been put away secretly with the silver under it.
23 Yo te pran yo soti anndan tant lan, epi yo te pote yo vè Josué avèk tout fis Israël yo pou yo te vide yo devan SENYÈ a.
And they took them from the tent and came back with them to Joshua and the children of Israel, and put them before the Lord.
24 Epi Josué ak tout Israël avèk li te pran Acan, fis a Zérach la, ajan an, manto a, ba lò a, fis li yo, fi li yo, bèf li yo, bourik li yo, mouton li yo, tant li ak tout sa ki te pou li; epi yo te mennen yo monte nan vale Acor a.
Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the robe and the mass of gold, and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent and everything he had; and they took them up into the valley of Achor.
25 Josué te di: “Poukisa ou te twouble nou? Jodi a, SENYÈ a va twouble ou.” Konsa, tout Israël te lapide yo avèk kout wòch. Epi yo te brile yo avèk dife lè yo te fin lapide yo avèk kout wòch.
And Joshua said, Why have you been a cause of trouble to us? Today the Lord will send trouble on you. And all Israel took part in stoning him; they had him stoned to death and then burned with fire.
26 Yo te fè leve sou li yon gwo pil wòch ki kanpe jis rive jodi a. Epi SENYÈ a te vire kite gwo chalè kòlè Li a. Pou sa, non a plas sa a te vin rele Vale Acan jis rive jodi a.
And over him they put a great mass of stones, which is there to this day; then the heat of the Lord's wrath was turned away. So that place was named, The Valley of Achor, to this day.
