< Joshua 2 >

1 Therfor Josue, the sone of Nun, sente fro Sethym twei men, aspieris in hiddlis, and seide to hem, Go ye, and biholde ye the lond, and the citee of Jerico. Whiche yeden, and entriden into the hous of a womman hoore, `Raab bi name, and restiden at hir.
Lè sa a, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, rete Sitim kote yo te ye a, li voye de nèg an kachèt al wè jan sa ye lavil Jeriko. Li di yo: -Ale vizite peyi a ak lavil Jeriko. Se konsa mesye yo ale, yo antre lakay yon jennès ki te rele Rarab. Se la yo desann.
2 And it was teld, `and seid to the kyng of Jerico, Lo! men of the sones of Israel entriden hidir bi nyyt, to aspie the lond.
Men, nouvèl la tonbe nan zòrèy wa Jeriko a. Yo vin di l' konsa: -Gen kèk moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki antre isit la lannwit lan pou espyonnen nou.
3 Therfor the kyng of Jerico sente to Raab the hoore, and seide, Brynge out the men, that camen to thee, and entriden in to thin hous; for thei ben aspieris, and thei camen to biholde al the lond.
Lè wa a tande sa, li voye di Rarab konsa: -Mesye ki vin lakay ou yo, se espyonnen yo vin espyonnen tou sa k'ap fèt nan peyi a, tande! Mete yo deyò lakay ou.
4 And the womman took the men, and hidde hem, and seide, Y knowleche, thei camen to me, but Y wiste not of whenus thei weren;
Men, fanm lan menm pa fè ni de ni twa, li pran de mesye yo, li kache yo. Apre sa, li voye di wa a: -Wi, te gen kèk mesye ki te vin lakay mwen. Mwen pa t' konnen ki bò yo soti.
5 and whanne the yate was closid in derknessis, and thei yeden out to gidire, Y noot whidur thei yeden; pursue ye soone, and ye schulen take hem.
Men, lè yo tapral fèmen pòtay la apre solèy fin kouche, mesye yo soti, y' ale fè wout yo. Mwen pa konn ki wout yo fè. Si nou fè vit rapouswiv yo, n'a jwenn yo.
6 Forsothe sche made the men to stie in to the soler of hir hows, and hilide hem with stobil of flex, that was there.
Men madanm lan te fè de mesye yo moute sou teras anwo kay li a, li te kache yo anba yon pakèt kòs bwa ki te blayi atè sou teras la pou yo cheche.
7 Sotheli thei, that weren sent, sueden hem bi the weie that ledith to the fordis of Jordan; and whanne thei weren goon out, anoon the yate was closid.
Sòlda wa yo menm soti sou wout ki mennen larivyè Jouden an, yo pati dèyè mesye yo pou yo pran yo anvan yo rive nan pas la. Soti sòlda yo soti, yo fèmen pòtay la.
8 Thei that weren hid, slepten not yit, and lo! the womman stiede to hem, and seide,
Anvan mesye yo gen tan dòmi, Rarab moute bò kote yo, sou teras la.
9 Y knowe that the Lord hath bitake to you this lond; for youre feerdfulnesse felde in to vs, and alle the dwelleris of the lond `weren sike.
Li di yo: -Mwen konnen Seyè a lage peyi a nan men nou. Mwen rekonèt tout moun pè nou, tout moun nan peyi a pa konn sa pou yo fè devan nou.
10 We herden, that the Lord driede the watris of the Reed See at youre entryng, whanne ye yeden out of Egipt; and what thingis ye diden to twei kyngis of Ammorreis, that weren biyende Jordan, to Seon and Og, whiche ye killiden;
Paske, nou tande ki jan Seyè a te cheche dlo Lanmè Wouj la devan nou lè nou t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip la. Nou tande sa nou te fè Siyon ak Og, de wa peyi Amori yo, ki rete lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, jan nou te touye yo pou Seyè a.
11 and we herden these thingis, and we dredden, and oure herte `was sike, and spirit dwellide not in vs at youre entryng; for youre Lord God hym silf is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe.
Lè nou tande sa, kè nou fann. Tout moun pèdi kouraj lè yo wè nou, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li menm vre ki Bondye anwo nan syèl la ak sou latè a.
12 Now therfor swere ye to me bi the Lord God, that as Y dide merci with you, so and ye do with the hows of my fadir; and yyue ye to me a veri signe,
Koulye a, m'ap mande nou pou nou fè sèman devan Seyè a pou nou pwomèt n'ap aji byen avèk fanmi mwen, menm jan mwen aji byen avèk nou tou. Men sa m'ap mande nou pou nou fè pou mwen.
13 that ye saue my fadir and modir, and my britheren and sistris, and alle thingis that ben herne, and dilyuere oure lyues fro deeth.
Tanpri, sove lavi manman m' ak papa m', sove lavi frè m' yo ak sè m' yo ansanm ak tout fanmi m' yo. Pa kite yo touye nou.
14 Whiche answeriden to hir, Oure lijf be for you in to deeth, if netheles thou bitraiest not vs; and whanne the Lord hath bitake to vs the lond, we schulen do mercy and treuthe in thee.
Mesye yo reponn li. -Nou pwomèt ou n'a pito mouri nou menm pase pou n' kite yo touye ou. Si ou pa di pesonn sa nou vin fè isit la, lè Seyè a va ban nou peyi a, n'a aji byen avè ou, n'a kenbe pawòl nou.
15 Therfor sche let hem doun fro the wyndow bi a corde; for hir hows cleuyde to the wal.
Rarab te rete nan yon kay ki te bati nan miray ranpa lavil la. Se konsa, li file yon kòd desann nan fennèt lakay li a, li fè mesye yo desann sou deyò.
16 And sche seide to hem, Stie ye to the hilli places, lest perauenture men turnynge ayen meete you; and be ye hidde there three daies, til thei comen ayen; and so ye schulen go bi youre weie.
Li di yo: -Ale nan mòn yo pou nou pa kontre ak moun yo voye dèyè nou yo. N'a rete kache la pandan twa jou. Sa va ba yo tan pou yo tounen. Apre sa, nou mèt al fè wout nou.
17 Whiche seiden to hir, We schulen be giltles of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs,
Mesye yo di l': -N'ap kenbe pwomès ou te fè nou fè ou la.
18 if, whanne we entren in to the lond, this reed corde is not a signe, and thou byndist it not in the wyndow, bi which thou lettist vs doun; and thou gaderist not in to thi hows thi fadir and modir, and britheren, and al thi kynrede; the blood of hym schal be on his heed,
Tande byen. Lè n'a anvayi peyi a, w'a mare kòdon wouj sa a nan fennèt kote ou fè nou desann lan. W'a pran manman ou ak papa ou, frè ou yo ak tout lòt moun ki nan fanmi ou lan, w'a fè yo reyini lakay ou.
19 that goith out at the dore of thin hows, and we schulen be alien, that is, giltles; forsothe the blood of alle men that ben in the hows with thee, schal turne in to oure heed, if ony man touchith hem.
Lè sa a, nenpòt kilès ladan yo ki va soti lakay ou, sa ki rive l' se pa l'. Se p'ap fòt nou. Men, si anyen rive yon moun andedan lakay ou, se va fòt pa nou.
20 `That if thou wolt betraie vs, and brynge forth in to the myddis this word, we schulen be cleene of this ooth, bi which thou hast chargid vs.
Konsa tou, si ou di yon moun sa nou te vin fè a, nou p'ap gen ankenn obligasyon kenbe pwomès nou te fè ou la ankò.
21 And sche answeride, As ye han spoke, so be it doon. And sche lefte hem, that thei schulden go, and sche hangide a reed corde in her wyndow.
Fanm lan di yo: -Mwen dakò ak sa nou di a! Epi li voye yo ale, yo pati. Apre sa, li pran ti kòdon wouj la, li mare l' nan fennèt la.
22 Sotheli thei yeden, and camen to the hilli places, and dwelliden there three daies, til thei turneden ayen that pursueden; for thei souyten bi ech weie, and founden not hem.
De mesye yo menm ale, yo rive nan mòn yo. Yo rete kache la pandan twa jou. Moun yo te voye dèyè yo menm t'ap chache yo sou tout wout la, men yo pa jwenn yo. Bout pou bout, yo tounen lavil Jeriko.
23 And whanne the sekeris entriden in to the citee, the spieris turneden ayen, and camen doun fro the hille; and whanne thei hadde passid Jordan, thei camen to Josue, the sone of Nun;
Lè sa a, de mesye yo tounen, yo desann soti nan mòn yo, yo janbe larivyè Jouden an, y' al jwenn Jozye, pitit Noun lan, yo rakonte l' tou sa ki te rive yo.
24 and thei telden to hym alle thingis that bifelden to hem, and seiden, The Lord hath bitake al the lond in to oure hondis, and alle the dwelleris thereof ben casten doun bi drede.
Yo di l' konsa: -Seyè a lage tout peyi a nan men nou. Tout moun nan peyi a ap tranble tèlman yo pè nou.
