< Joshua 6 >

1 Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Yo te fèmen tout pòtay lavil Jeriko yo, yo te barikade yo poutèt moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Deyò pa antre, anndan pa soti.
2 And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Koute. Mwen pral lage lavil Jeriko nan men ou ansanm ak wa a ak tout vanyan sòlda li yo.
3 And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Ou menm ak tout sòlda pa ou yo, nou pral mache fè wonn lavil la yon fwa chak jou pandan sis jou.
4 And seven priests shall carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
Sèt prèt va mache devan Bwat Kontra a, avèk sèt kòn belye pou kònen, yonn nan men yo chak. Men, setyèm jou a, n'a mache fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa ansanm ak prèt k'ap kònen kòn belye yo.
5 And it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him.
Lè n'a tande yon kout kòn ki trennen, tout pèp la va pran pouse yon sèl rèl byen fò. Miray ranpa lavil la pral tonbe plat atè. Lè sa a, chak moun va mache dwat devan yo sou lavil la.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.
Se konsa, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, rele prèt yo, li di yo: -Leve Bwat Kontra a, mete l' sou zepòl nou. Sèt prèt va mache devan l' avèk kòn belye yo nan men yo.
7 And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
Apre sa, li di pèp la: -Leve mache! Nou pral fè wonn lavil la. Pòsyon lame ki pou mache devan an va pran devan Bwat Kontra a.
8 And it came to pass when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them.
Pèp la fè jan Jozye te ba yo lòd fè a. Sèt prèt yo pran devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo t'ap kònen kòn yo.
9 And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the trumpets, and the rearguard came after the ark; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
Pòsyon lame ki pou mache devan an pran devan prèt ki t'ap kònen yo. Pòsyon lame ki pou mache dèyè a t'ap mache dèyè Bwat Kontra a. Pandan yo t'ap mache konsa, yo t'ap kònen kòn belye yo.
10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout; then shall ye shout.
Men, Jozye te bay pèp la lòd pou yo pa t' pouse ankenn rèl jan yo te konn fè l' la lè y'ap goumen. Se pou yo tout rete bouch fèmen, san di yon mo, jouk lè l'a ba yo lòd pouse rèl goumen an.
11 And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Prèt yo pati ak Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo fè wonn lavil yon fwa. Apre sa, yo tounen nan kan an epi yo pase nwit lan la.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.
Nan denmen maten, Jozye leve, epi prèt yo pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a ankò.
13 And the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching.
Sèt prèt yo avèk sèt kòn belye yo t'ap mache devan Bwat Kontra a. Yo t'ap kònen. Pòsyon lame ki pou devan an t'ap mache devan yo, pòsyon lame ki pou mache dèyè a t'ap mache dèyè Bwat Kontra a: yo t'ap kònen tout tan yo t'ap mache a.
14 And on the second day they went round the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
Dezyèm jou a, yo mache fè wonn lavil la ankò yon sèl fwa. Epi yo tounen nan kan yo. Yo fè sa konsa pandan sis jou.
15 And it was so that on the seventh day they rose early, about the morning-dawn, and went round the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they went round the city seven times.
Sou setyèm jou a, yo leve lè bajou kase, yo mache menm jan an. Men, jou sa a yo fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa. Se jou sa a ase yo te fè wonn lavil la sèt fwa.
16 And it came to pass the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Jehovah has given you the city.
Setyèm fwa a, apre prèt yo fin kònen kòn belye yo, Jozye di pèp la konsa: -Nou mèt rele koulye a! Seyè a lage lavil la nan men nou!
17 And the city shall be accursed, it and all that is in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Nou pral ofri lavil la ak tou sa ki ladan l' tankou yon ofrann pou Bondye. Nou pral touye dènye moun ki ladan l'. Sèl moun ki va rete vivan, se va Rarab, jennès la, ak tout moun ki va lakay li, paske li te kache mesaje nou te voye yo.
18 But in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed in taking of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Men, nou menm, pa mete men nou nan sa nou gen pou nou detwi pou Seyè a. Si nou pran anyen nan sa nou gen pou nou detwi a, n'ap lakòz malè tonbe sou kay moun Izrayèl yo, n'ap lakòz tèt chaje vin pou tout moun.
19 And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
Tout bagay ki fèt an lò, an ajan, an fè osinon an kwiv, n'a mete yo apa pou Seyè a. N'a depoze yo nan depo richès Seyè a.
20 And the people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one straight before him, and they took the city.
Se konsa, yo kònen kòn belye yo. Tande pèp la tande son kòn belye yo, yo pouse yon sèl gwo rèl, epi miray ranpa lavil la tonbe plat atè. Epi chak moun pran mache dwat devan yo sou lavil la, yo anvayi l'.
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city; both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Yo ofri tou sa ki nan lavil la bay Seyè a. Avèk nepe yo, yo touye tout moun nan lavil la, fanm kou gason, granmoun kou timoun, tout bèf, tout mouton, tout bourik.
22 And Joshua said to the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house and bring out thence the woman, and all that she has, as ye swore unto her.
Jozye rele de mesye li te voye an kachèt al vizite lavil Jeriko a, li di yo: -Ale lakay jennès la. Fè l' soti ak tout fanmi li, jan nou te pwomèt li a.
23 And the young men, the spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: all her kindred did they bring out, and they left them outside the camp of Israel.
Se konsa y' ale, yo fè Rarab soti ansanm ak papa l', manman l', frè l' yo, tout rès fanmi l' yo ak tou sa yo te genyen, yo enstale yo yon kote andeyò kan moun Izrayèl yo.
24 And they burned the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
Yo mete dife nan lavil la, yo boule l' nèt ak tou sa ki ladan l', an wetan bagay ki te fèt an lò, an ajan, an fè ak an kwiv yo. Yo pran yo, yo pote yo nan depo richès Seyè a.
25 And Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.
Men, Jozye te sove Rarab, jennès la, ak tout fanmi l' yo ansanm ak tou sa ki pou yo, paske Rarab te kache mesye Jozye te voye espyonnen lavil Jeriko a. Moun fanmi Rarab yo ap viv jouk koulye a nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
26 And Joshua swore at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who shall rise up and build this city Jericho! In his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and in his youngest son shall he set up its gates.
Lè sa a, Jozye bay avètisman sa a pou tout moun, li di: -Madichon Bondye pou nenpòt moun ki konprann pou l' ta rebati lavil yo rele Jeriko a. Si yon moun mete men nan fondasyon l' yo, l'ap pèdi premye pitit gason l' lan. Si yon moun remoute pòtay li yo, l'ap pèdi dènye pitit gason l' la.
27 And Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Se konsa Seyè a te kanpe la avèk Jozye. Nan tout peyi a yo t'ap nonmen non l'.
