Joshua 7
1 But the sons of Israel transgressed the commandment, and they usurped what was anathema. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took something from what was anathema. And the Lord became angry against the sons of Israel.
Men, pèp Izrayèl la te dezobeyi lòd Seyè a te bay pou yo pa t' pran anyen nan sa yo te gen pou yo detwi nèt yo. Te gen yon nonm nan branch fanmi Jida a ki te rele Akan. Se te pitit Kami. Kami sa a te pitit Zabdi, Zabdi te pitit Zerak. Akan sa a te pran kichòy nan sa yo te gen pou yo detwi nèt yo. Kifè Seyè a te move anpil sou pèp Izrayèl la.
2 And when Joshua sent men from Jericho against Ai, which is beside Bethaven, toward the eastern region of the town of Bethel, he said to them, “Go up and explore the land.” And they fulfilled his instruction, and they explored Ai.
Jozye te voye kèk moun soti lavil Jeriko ale bò Ayi, yon lavil ki te toupre Bèt Avenn, sou bò solèy leve lavil Betèl. Li te di yo pou y' al wè jan sa ye nan peyi a. Mesye yo ale vre, yo wè jan sa ye nan lavil Ayi.
3 And returning, they said to him: “Let not the entire people go up. Instead, let two or three thousand men go out and destroy the city. Why should all the people be troubled without cause against enemies that are so very few?”
Lè yo tounen vin jwenn Jozye, yo di li: -Nou pa bezwen deplase tout moun. N'a voye de twa mil moun konsa pou atake lavil Ayi a. Ou pa bezwen voye tout moun al goumen, paske pa gen anpil moun la.
4 Therefore, they went up with three thousand fighters. And they promptly turned their backs,
Lè sa a, yo chwazi twamil sòlda konsa ki te moute al atake. Men, moun lavil Ayi yo te fè yo kraze rak.
5 and were struck down by the men of the city of Ai. And thirty-six men of them fell. And the adversaries pursued them from the gate, even as far as Shebarim. And they felled them as they were fleeing downward. And the heart of the people was struck with fear, and it melted like water.
Yo kouri dèyè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo depi devan pòtay lavil la jouk nan men wòch yo. Nan ladesant lan yo touye trannsis moun konsa nan sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la soti pè. Yo pèdi kouraj.
6 And truly, Joshua tore his garments, and he fell prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord, even until evening, both he and all the elders of Israel. And they cast dust upon their heads.
Jozye te sitèlman nan lapenn, li chire rad sou li, epi li tonbe ajenou, li bese tèt jouk atè devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a. Li rete konsa jouk aswè ansanm ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, yo pran pousyè tè yo mete sou tèt yo pou fè wè jan yo te nan lapenn.
7 And Joshua said: “Alas, O Lord God! Why would you want to lead this people over the river Jordan, so that you might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us? I wish that we had remained beyond the Jordan, as when we began.
Epi Jozye di: -Ay, Seyè Bondye! Poukisa ou fè pèp la janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an? Gen lè se pou ou te lage nou nan men moun Amori yo pou yo touye nou? Pa pito ou te kite nou rete lòt bò larivyè Jouden an!
8 My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?
Tanpri, Mèt mwen! Kisa m' ka di koulye a lè m' wè moun Izrayèl yo ap kouri devan lènmi l' yo?
9 The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and coming together as one, they will surround us, and they will wipe our name from the earth. And what will you do concerning your great name?”
Moun Kanaran yo ak tout lòt moun ki rete nan peyi a pral konn sa. Yo pral leve dèyè nou. Yo pral touye nou nèt nan peyi a. Kisa ou pral fè lè sa a pou yo pa avili non ou?
10 And the Lord said to Joshua: “Rise up. Why are you lying flat on the ground?
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Leve non! Poukisa ou lage kò ou atè konsa?
11 Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant. And they have taken from what is anathema. And they have stolen and lied, and they have hidden it among their goods.
Se paske pèp Izrayèl la peche, yo pa respekte kontra mwen te pase ak yo a ak lòd mwen te ba yo. Yo pran nan bagay pou yo te detwi yo. Yo vòlò yo, yo kache yo, yo mete yo nan zafè pa yo.
12 Israel is not able to stand before his enemies, and he will flee from them. For he has been defiled by what is anathema. I will no longer be with you, until you destroy him who is guilty of this wickedness.
Se poutèt sa, pèp Izrayèl la p'ap ka kanpe devan lènmi l' yo. Yo gen pou yo kouri devan lènmi yo, paske koulye a se yo menm ki gen pou mouri. Mwen p'ap kanpe la avèk yo ankò, si bagay mwen te ban nou lòd pa pran an nou pa wete l' nan mitan nou pou nou detwi l' tou.
13 Rise up. Sanctify the people. And you shall say to them: ‘Be sanctified tomorrow. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: That which is anathema is in your midst, O Israel! You are not able to stand before your enemies, until he who has been contaminated by this wickedness is taken away from you.’
Leve non! Fè sèvis pou mete pèp la nan kondisyon pou sèvi m'. W'a di yo pou yo pare kò yo pou yo ka nan kondisyon fè sèvis pou mwen denmen, paske mwen menm, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, men sa mwen di: Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, nou gen nan mitan nou bagay mwen te ban nou lòd detwi. Nou p'ap ka kenbe tèt ak lènmi nou yo si nou pa wete l' nan mitan nou.
14 And you shall draw near in the morning, each one by your tribes. And whichever tribe will be found by lot shall come forward by its families, and the families by houses, and the house by the men.
Se konsa, denmen maten, nou tout n'ap vini, branch fanmi pa branch fanmi. Branch fanmi Seyè a va denonse a va pwoche fanmi pa fanmi. Nan fanmi Seyè a va denonse a, chèf fanmi yo va pwoche yonn apre lòt avèk moun pa yo. Chèf fanmi Seyè a va denonse a va fè moun pa l' yo pwoche grenn pa grenn.
15 And whoever he may be that will be found guilty of this deed, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance. For he transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and he committed a wicked act in Israel.”
Moun y'a jwenn avèk bagay la gen pou mouri boule nan dife, ansanm ak tout fanmi l' ak tou sa li genyen, paske li pa respekte kontra Seyè a te pase ak pèp la. Se yon gwo wont pou tout pèp Izrayèl la.
16 And so Joshua, rising in the morning, brought forth Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was found.
Nan denmen maten vre, Jozye leve byen bonè, li fè tout pèp Izrayèl la pwoche vin jwenn li, branch fanmi pa branch fanmi. Se branch fanmi Jida a Seyè a te denonse.
17 And when its families had been presented, the family of Zerah was found. Likewise, bringing that one forward by the houses, he discovered Zabdi.
Li fè fanmi Jida yo vin jwenn li yonn apre lòt. Se fanmi Zerak la Seyè a te denonse. Li fè tout chèf fanmi Zerak yo vin jwenn li yonn apre lòt ak tout fanmi yo. Se Zabdi Seyè a te denonse.
18 And dividing his house by each man, he found Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah.
Zabdi fè tout moun pa l' yo pwoche grenn pa grenn. Se konsa Seyè a denonse Akan, pitit Kami an. Kami te pitit Zabdi, Zabdi te pitit Zerak, yo tout te fè pati branch fanmi Jida a.
19 And Joshua said to Achan: “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess, and reveal to me what you have done. You may not conceal it.”
Jozye di Akan konsa: -Pitit mwen, fè lwanj Seyè a! Moutre ou gen respe pou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Koulye a, di m' kisa ou fè. Pa kache m' anyen.
20 And Achan responded to Joshua, and he said to him: “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and I have done one thing and another.
Akan reponn li: -Se vre wi. Se mwen ki peche kont Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Men sa m' fè.
21 For I saw among the spoils a very fine scarlet cloak, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a gold bar of fifty shekels. And coveting these, I took and hid them in the ground near the middle of my tent, and I covered the silver with the soil that I had dug.”
Nan bagay nou te pran apre batay la, mwen te wè yon bèl manto ki te soti lavil Babilòn, desan (200) pyès an ajan ki te peze wit liv antou, ak yon gwo moso lò ki te peze de liv. Mwen te sitèlman anvi yo, mwen pran yo. Mwen fouye yon twou nan mitan tant kote m' rete a, mwen antere yo ladan l', avèk pyès ajan yo anba nèt.
22 Therefore, Joshua sent ministers, who, running to his tent, discovered everything hidden in the same place, together with the silver.
Jozye voye kèk mesaje ki kouri al nan tant Akan an. Yo jwenn tout bagay yo nan twou a avèk pyès ajan yo anba nèt.
23 And taking these from the tent, they brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they cast them down before the Lord.
Yo pran yo, yo soti avèk yo nan tant lan. Yo pote yo bay Jozye ak tout pèp Izrayèl la. Yo mete yo atè devan Seyè a.
24 And so Joshua took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the cloak, and the gold bar, also his sons and daughters, the oxen and donkeys and sheep, and even the tent and all his goods, (and all of Israel went with him, ) and he brought these to the valley of Achor.
Jozye, ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pran Akan, pyès ajan yo, manto a, moso lò a ansanm ak pitit fi l' yo, pitit gason l' yo, bèlfi li yo, bèf li yo, bourik li yo, mouton l' yo ak tout lòt bagay li te genyen, yo mennen yo nan Fon Malè.
25 There, Joshua said: “Because you have troubled us, the Lord troubles you, on this day.” And all of Israel stoned him. And all the things that were his were consumed by fire.
Epi Jozye di Akan konsa: -Poukisa ou rale tout malè sa a sou tèt nou? Jòdi a, Seyè a pral fè malè tonbe sou ou! Epi tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran wòch, yo kalonnen yo jouk yo touye yo. Yo boule tout bagay yo nan dife. Yo touye tout fanmi l' yo ak bèt li yo ak koutwòch.
26 And they gathered upon him a great pile of stones, which remains even to the present day. And the fury of the Lord was averted from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, even to this day.
Yo mete yon gwo pil wòch sou yo. Gwo pil wòch sa a la jouk jòdi a. Se poutèt sa, jouk jòdi a, yo rele kote sa a Fon Malè. Se konsa Seyè a te sispann move sou pèp la.
