Jij 1
1 Alò, li vin rive apre lanmò Josué ke fis Israël yo fè yon demann SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Kilès ki va premye pou vin monte pou nou kont Kananeyen yo pou goumen kont yo?”
And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?
2 SENYÈ a te reponn: “Juda va monte. Veye byen, Mwen te mete peyi a nan men l.”
And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3 Konsa, Juda te di a Siméon, frè li: “Vini avè m nan teren ki te vin tonbe pou mwen an, pou nou kapab goumen kont Kananeyen yo. Epi lè nou retounen, mwen va ale avè w nan teren pa w la.” Konsa Siméon te ale avèk li.
And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
4 Juda te monte e SENYÈ a te livre Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo nan men yo. Yo te bat di-mil lòm Bézek.
And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
5 Yo te rankontre Adoni Bézek nan Bézek. Yo te goumen kont li, e yo te bat Kananeyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo.
And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Men Adoni Bézek te sove ale. Yo te kouri dèyè li pou te kenbe li e yo te koupe pous li avèk gwo zòtèy li.
But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Adoni Bézek te di: “Swasann-dis wa avèk pous avèk gwo zòtèy koupe te konn ranmase manje anba tab mwen. Jan ke m te konn fè a, konsa Bondye te rekonpanse mwen.” Konsa, yo te mennen li Jérusalem e la, li te mouri.
And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their meat] under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Alò, fis Juda yo te goumen kont Jérusalem. Yo te kaptire li. Yo te frape li avèk lam nepe e yo te mete dife nan vil la.
And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
9 Apre, fis a Juda yo te desann pou goumen kont Kananeyen ki te rete nan peyi ti kolin yo ak nan Negev la ak nan ba plèn nan.
And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.
10 Konsa, Juda te ale kont Kananeyen ki te rete Hébron yo (alò, non Hébron avan an se te Kirjath-Arba.) Yo te frape Schéschaï avèk Ahiman ak Talmaï.
And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba: ) and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Soti la, li te ale kont sila ki te rete Debir yo. (Alò, non Debir se te Kirjath-Sépher)
And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.)
12 Epi Caleb te di: “Sila ki atake Kirjath-Sépher e ki kaptire li a; a li menm, mwen va bay fi mwen an, Acsa kòm madanm li.”
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
13 Othniel, fis a Kenaz la, pi jèn frè a Caleb la te kaptire li. Konsa, li te ba li fi li a kòm madanm.
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
14 Epi li te vin rive ke lè Acsa te vin kote li, ke li te konvenk li mande papa li yon chan. Li te desann bourik li, e Caleb te di: “Kisa ou vle?”
And it came to pass, when she came [unto him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted down from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
15 Li te di li: “Beni mwen. Akoz ou te ban mwen peyi nan Negev la, ban m sous dlo yo tou.” Konsa, Caleb te ba li sous piwo avèk sous piba yo.
And she said unto him, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
16 Desandan Kenyen yo, bòpè Moïse la, te monte soti nan vil pal yo avèk fis Juda yo. Yo soti nan dezè a Juda ki vè sid Arad la, epi yo te monte pou rete avèk pèp sila yo.
And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt with the people.
17 Konsa, Juda te ale avèk Siméon, frè li a, e yo te frape Kananeyen ki te rete Tsephath yo. Yo te detwi li nèt. Konsa, non a vil la te rele Horma.
And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
18 Anplis, Juda te pran Gaza avèk teritwa ki te pou li a, ak Askalon avèk teritwa pa li a, ak Ékron avèk teritwa pa li a.
Also Judah took Gaza with the border thereof, and Ashkelon with the border thereof, and Ekron with the border thereof.
19 Alò SENYÈ a te avèk Juda, e te chase met dèyo tout sa yo ki te viv nan peyi ti kolin yo. Men yo pa t ka chase mete deyò pèp ki te rete nan vale yo, akoz yo te gen cha yo ki te fèt an fè.
And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out [the inhabitants of] the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
20 Alò, yo te bay Hébron a Caleb, jan Moïse te pwomèt yo a; epi li te chase fè sòti twa fis Anak yo.
And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drave out thence the three sons of Anak.
21 Men fis a Benjamin yo pa t chase mete Jebizyen ki te rete nan Jérusalem yo deyò. Pou sa, Jebizyen yo te rete pami fis Benjamin yo jis rive jodi a.
And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem: but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem, unto this day.
22 Menm jan an, lakay Joseph te monte kont Béthel e SENYÈ a te avèk yo.
And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD was with them.
23 Lakay Joseph te fè espyonaj Béthel. Alò, vil sa, avan lè te rele Luz.
And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Beth-el. (Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.)
24 Espyon yo te wè yon nonm ki t ap sòti nan vil la. Yo te di li: “Souple, montre nou kote pou nou antre nan vil la, e nou va fè ou gras.”
And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.
25 Konsa, li te montre yo antre vil la e yo te frape vil la avèk lam nepe. Men yo te kite mesye sa a, ak tout fanmi li an libète.
And he shewed them the entrance into the city, and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
26 Mesye sila a te antre nan peyi Etyen yo. Li te bati yon vil e te ba li non Luz, epi se konsa li rele jis rive jodi a.
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.
27 Men Manassé pa t pran posesyon Beth-Schean avèk bouk pa li yo, ni Thannac avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Dor yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni pèp ki te rete Jibleam yo avèk bouk pa li yo, ni moun ki te rete Meguiddo avèk bouk pa li yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te kontinye viv nan peyi sa a.
And Manasseh did not drive out [the inhabitants of] Beth-shean and her towns, nor [of] Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
28 Li te vin rive ke lè Israël te vin fò, ke yo te fòse Kananeyen yo fè travo fòse, men yo pa t chase yo fè yo sòti nèt.
And it came to pass, when Israel was waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.
29 Éphraïm pa t chase fè sòti Kananeyen ki t ap viv Guézer yo, men Kananeyen yo te viv Guézer pami yo.
And Ephraim drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30 Zabulon pa t chase fè sòti pèp ki te rete Kitron yo, ni pèp ki te rete Nahalol yo. Konsa, Kananeyen yo te rete pami yo e te vin sijè a travo fòse.
Zebulun drave not out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributary.
31 Aser pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Acco yo, ni pèp a Sidon yo, ni sila a Achlal yo, ni a Heba, ni a Aczib, ni a Rehob yo.
Asher drave not out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
32 Konsa, Aserit yo te rete pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a. Paske, yo pa t chase mete yo deyò.
but the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
33 Nephtali pa t chase mete deyò pèp a Beth-Schémesch yo, ni pèp a Beth-anath yo. Men yo te viv pami Kananeyen yo, pèp peyi a, epi pèp peyi Beth-Schémesch avèk Beth-Anath yo te vin fè travo fòse pou yo.
Naphtali drave not out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributary unto them.
34 Konsa, Amoreyen yo te pouse fis a Dan yo antre nan peyi ti kolin yo, epi te anpeche yo antre nan vale a.
And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
35 Malgre sa, Amoreyen yo te pèsiste rete nan Mòn Hérès, nan Ajalon ak nan Schaalbim. Men lè pouvwa kay Joseph la te vin fò, yo te oblije fè travo fòse.
but the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributary.
36 Lizyè a Amoreyen yo te kouri soti nan monte Akrabim nan, soti Séla pou monte piwo.
And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
