Jij 2
1 Alò, zanj SENYÈ a te monte soti Guilgal a Bokim. Li te di: “Mwen te mennen nou sòti an Égypte, e Mwen te mennen nou antre nan peyi ke M te sèmante a zansèt nou yo. Epi Mwen te di: ‘Mwen p ap janm kraze akò Mwen avèk nou.
And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the [place of] weeping, and to Baethel, and to the house of Israel, and said to them, Thus says the Lord, I brought you up out of Egypt, and I brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant that I have made with you.
2 Konsa, pou nou menm, nou p ap fè okenn akò avèk pèp peyi sila yo. Nou va chire lotèl pa yo.’ Men nou pa t obeyi Mwen. Kisa sa ye ke nou fè la a?
And you shall make no covenant with them that dwell in this land, neither shall you worship their gods; but you shall destroy their graven images, you shall pull down their altars: but you listened not to my voice, for you did these things.
3 Pou sa, Mwen te di anplis, ‘Mwen p ap pouse yo sòti devan nou, men yo va devni tankou zepin akote nou e dye pa yo va vin yon pèlen pou nou.’”
And I said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be for a distress to you, and their gods shall be to you for an offence.
4 Lè zanj SENYÈ a te pale pawòl sa yo a tout fis Israël yo, pèp la te leve vwa pa yo pou te kriye.
And it came to pass when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Pou sa, yo te bay plas sa non Bokim, epi la, yo te fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a.
And they named the name of that place Weepings; and they sacrificed there to the Lord.
6 Lè Josué te fin fè pèp la ale, fis Israël yo te ale yo chak nan pwòp eritaj pa yo pou posede teren an.
And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his inheritance, to inherit the land.
7 Pèp la te sèvi Josué pandan tout jou a Josué yo e tout jou a ansyen ki te sèvi Josué yo, ki te wè tout gran zèv SENYÈ a te fè pou Israël yo.
And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days with Joshua, as many as knew all the great work of the Lord, what things he had wrought in Israel.
8 Epi Josué, fis a Nun nan, Sèvitè SENYÈ a, te mouri nan laj san-dis ane.
And Joshua the son of Naue, the servant of the Lord, died, a hundred and ten years old.
9 Yo te antere li nan teritwa eritaj pa li, nan Thimnath-Hérès nan peyi ti kolin Éphraïm yo, vè nò a Mòn Gaasch.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance, in Thamnathares, in mount Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaas.
10 Tout jenerasyon sila a, osi, te vin ranmase vè zansèt pa yo. Konsa, te vin leve yon lòt jenerasyon apre yo ki pa t rekonèt SENYÈ a, ni nonplis zèv ke Li te fè pou Israël yo.
And all that generation were laid to their fathers: and another generation rose up after them, who knew not the Lord, nor yet the work which he wrought in Israel.
11 Alò, fis Israël yo te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, e yo te sèvi Baal yo.
And the children of Israel wrought evil before the Lord, and served Baalim.
12 Yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, ki te mennen yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la pou te swiv lòt dye yo, soti nan dye a pèp ki te antoure yo. Yo te bese yo ba devan yo. Konsa, yo te pwovoke SENYÈ a a lakòlè.
And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and walked after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about them; and they worshipped them.
13 Yo te abandone SENYÈ a pou te sèvi Baal avèk Astarté yo.
And they provoked the Lord, and forsook him, and served Baal and the Astartes.
14 Lakòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Israël. Li te livre yo nan men a piyajè ki te piyaje yo. Li te vann yo antre nan men a lènmi ki te antoure yo pou yo pa t kab kanpe ankò devan lènmi yo.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and he gave them into the hands of the spoilers, and they spoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and they could not any longer resist their enemies,
15 Nenpòt kote ke yo te ale, men SENYÈ a te kont yo pou mal, jan SENYÈ a te pale yo a, jan Li te sèmante a yo a. Konsa, vrèman yo te vin gen gwo pwoblem.
amongst whoever they went; and the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord spoke, and as the Lord sware to them; and he greatly afflicted them.
16 Alò, SENYÈ a te fè leve jij ki te livre yo soti nan men a sila ki t ap piyaje yo.
And the Lord raised up judges, and the Lord save them out of the hands of them that spoiled them: and yet they listened not to the judges,
17 Malgre sa, yo pa t koute jij yo, paske yo te fè pwostitiye dèyè lòt dye yo, e te bese yo ba anvè yo. Yo te vire akote byen vit soti nan chemen an nan sila zansèt yo te mache ak obeyisans lòd a SENYÈ yo. Yo pa t fè tankou yo.
for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked to listen to the words of the Lord; they did not so.
18 Lè SENYÈ a te kon fè leve yon jij pou yo, SENYÈ a te avèk jij la, e te delivre pèp la nan men lènmi yo pandan tout jou yo a jij la. Konsa, SENYÈ a te vin gen pitye pou yo akoz sila ki te oprime ak aflije yo.
And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.
19 Men li te kòn rive ke nan lè jij la vin mouri, yo ta vire tounen pou aji pi konwonpi pase zansèt yo. Yo te swiv lòt dye yo pou sèvi yo, e bese ba devan yo. Yo pa t janm abandone zèv sila yo, ni chemen tèt mato yo.
And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted [themselves] worse than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them an to worship them: they abandoned not their devices nor their stubborn ways.
20 Konsa, lakòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Israël. Li te di: “Akoz nasyon sa a te transgrese akò ke Mwen te kòmande zansèt yo, e pa t koute vwa M,
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and said, Forasmuch as this nation has forsaken my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,
21 Mwen menm tou, Mwen va sispann chase devan yo, okenn nan nasyon ke Josué te kite la lè l te mouri yo,
therefore I will not any more cast out a man of the nations before their face, which Joshua the son of Naue left in the land. And [the Lord] left [them],
22 pou pase Israël a leprèv pa yo menm, pou wè si yo va kenbe chemen a SENYÈ a pou mache ladann jan zansèt pa yo te fè a oswa non.”
to prove Israel with them, whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or no.
23 Konsa SENYÈ a te pèmèt ke nasyon sa yo rete pami yo, e pa t pouse yo sòti vit. Li pa t livre yo nan men Josué.
So the Lord will leave these nations, so as not to cast them out suddenly; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
