< 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 committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled 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.
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
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.”
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; [and] make not all the people to labor thither; for they [are but] few.
4 Konsa, anviwon twa mil mesye ki sòti nan pèp la te monte; men yo te sove ale devan mesye Aï yo.
So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before 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.
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them [from] before the gate [even] to Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as 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.
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon 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, Alas, O LORD GOD, why hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? O that we had been content, and dwelt 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 shall I say, when Israel turn their backs before their enemies!
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 the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land will hear [of it], and will environ us, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name?
10 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Leve ou menm! Poukisa ou te tonbe sou figi ou?
And the LORD said to Joshua, Arise; Why liest thou thus upon thy face?
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 hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put [it] even among their own 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.
Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed 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.”’”
Rise, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing 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.
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to their families: and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come 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.”
And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
16 Konsa, Josué te leve bonè nan maten e te fè Israël pwoche pa tribi. Tribi Juda a te pran.
So Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel 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.
And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites 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.
And he brought his household 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, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now what thou hast done, hide [it] not 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 answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I 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 the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them, and behold, they [are] hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver 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 messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and 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 midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out 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.
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them to 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 hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
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 they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger: wherefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor to this day.
