< Jij 1 >

1 Apre Jozye mouri, pèp Izrayèl la mande Seyè a: -Nan tout branch fanmi nou yo, kilès ladan yo ki pou al atake moun Kanaran yo anvan?
It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Jehovah, saying, "Who should go up first to fight for us against the Canaanites?"
2 Seyè a reponn yo: -Se branch fanmi Jida a ki pou premye ale. Se mwen menm k'ap lage tout peyi a nan men yo.
Jehovah said, "Judah should go up. Look, I have delivered the land into his hand."
3 Moun Jida yo di moun Simeyon yo konsa: -Ann al ansanm ak nou nan pòsyon tè yo ban nou an, nou menm moun Jida yo. Enpi n'a mete ansanm pou goumen ak moun Kanaran yo. Apre sa, nou menm moun Jida yo, n'a ale ansanm ak nou nan pòsyon tè yo ban nou an, nou menm moun Simeyon yo. Se konsa, moun Simeyon yo ale ansanm ak
Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot." So Simeon went with him.
4 moun Jida yo, yo moute al goumen. Seyè a lage moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo nan men yo. Yo bat yon lame dimil (10.000) sòlda nan lavil Bezèk.
Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
5 Yo jwenn Adonibezèk l'a tou. Yo goumen avè l'. Yo bat moun Kanaran yo ak moun Ferezi yo byen bat.
They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Adonibezèk te kouri pou yo. Yo kouri dèyè l', yo mete men sou li, epi yo koupe de dwèt gwopous li yo ak de gwo tèt zòtèy pye l' yo.
But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Lè sa a, Adonibezèk di: -Mwen te koupe dwèt gwopous ak gwo tèt zòtèy pye swasanndis wa. Yo te konn ranmase kras manje ki tonbe anba tab mwen. Jòdi a, Bondye fè m' sa m' te fè yo a. Yo mennen msye lavil Jerizalèm. Se la li mouri.
Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Moun fanmi Jida yo al atake lavil Jerizalèm, epi yo pran l'. Yo touye dènye moun ki te rete la, lèfini yo mete dife ladan l'.
The people of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
9 Apre sa, y' al goumen ak moun Kanaran ki t'ap viv nan mòn yo ak nan pye mòn yo nan Negèv la.
Afterward the people of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the Negev, and in the lowland.
10 Moun Jida yo atake moun Kanaran ki te rete lavil Ebwon, ki te rele anvan sa Kiriyat Aba. Yo bat Chechayi, Ayiman ak Talmayi.
And Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron, and Hebron came out in opposition (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba), and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Yo kite Ebwon, yo mache al atake moun ki te rete lavil Debi yo. Nan tan lontan yo te rete lavil sa a Kiriyat-Sefè.
From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)
12 Kalèb di: -Moun ki va resi pran lavil Kiriyat-Sefè a, m'ap marye l' ak Aksa, pitit fi mwen an.
Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife."
13 Se Otonyèl, pitit gason Kenaz, ti frè Kalèb la, ki te pran lavil la. Konsa, Kalèb ba li Aksa, pitit fi li a, pou madanm.
Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
14 Lè Aksa rive lakay mari l', mari a di l' poukisa li pa mande papa l' yon bon jaden. Akza al jwenn Kalèb. Desann li desann bourik li, Kalèb mande l': -Sak genyen, pitit mwen?
It happened, when she came to him, that she got him to ask her father for a field. And she got off from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What would you like?"
15 Akza reponn: -Mwen vin mande ou yon favè. Se ou menm ki voye m' al viv nan dezè Negèv la, se pou ou ban m' kote pou m' pran dlo tou. Se konsa Kalèb ba li Sous Dlo Anwo ak Sous Dlo Anba Negèv la.
She said to him, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." So Caleb gave her according to her heart the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 Moun Kayen yo, fanmi bòpè Moyiz la, kite lavil Palmis. Yo moute ansanm ak moun Jida yo nan dezè peyi Jida a sou bò sid lavil Arad. Se la y' al rete ansanm ak moun Amalèk yo.
And the descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the people of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.
17 Moun Jida yo ale ansanm ak moun Simeyon yo, yo bat moun Kanaran ki te rete lavil Zefa yo. Yo detwi lavil la, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te ladan l'. Yo boule yo tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Yo chanje non lavil la, yo rele l' Oma.
Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called Hormah.
18 Moun Jida yo pa t' pran lavil Gaza ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li, lavil Askalon ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li, lavil Ekwon ak tout zòn ki sou zòd li.
Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory, and Ashdod with its surrounding lands.
19 Seyè a te kanpe ak moun Jida yo, li fè yo pran tout mòn yo pou yo. Men, yo pa t' kapab mete moun ki nan laplenn yo deyò paske yo te gen cha lagè fèt an fè.
Jehovah was with Judah; and drove 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 Jan Moyiz te bay lòd la, yo pran lavil Ebwon bay Kalèb. Kalèb mete twa pitit gason Anak yo deyò nan lavil la.
They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken. And from there he possessed the three cities, and he drove out from there the three sons of Anak.
21 Men, moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo pa t' mete moun Jebis yo deyò nan lavil Jerizalèm. Se konsa moun Jebis yo rete ap viv ansanm ak moun Benjamen yo nan lavil Jerizalèm jouk jòdi a.
The people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 Moun de branch fanmi Jozèf yo moute al atake lavil Betèl ki te rele Louz anvan sa. Seyè a te kanpe avèk yo tou.
And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel; and Jehovah was with them.
23 Yo voye kèk moun an kachèt al wè jan sa ye nan lavil la.
And the house of Joseph sent out spies to Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
24 Moun yo te voye yo kontre yon nonm ki t'ap soti lavil la. Yo di l' konsa: -Moutre nou ki jan moun ka antre nan lavil la. Nou pwomèt ou nou p'ap fè ou anyen.
And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they captured him, and they said to him, "Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy."
25 Se konsa nonm lan moutre yo ki jan pou yo antre nan lavil la. Yo touye tout moun ki te nan lavil la, esepte nonm lan ansanm ak tout fanmi l'.
He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
26 Apre sa, nonm lan pati ale nan peyi moun Et yo. Li bati yon lavil laba a, li rele l' Louz. Se konsa yo rele lavil la jouk jòdi a.
The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
27 Moun branch fanmi Manase yo pa t' rive mete tout moun deyò nan lavil Bèt Chean, nan lavil Tanak, nan lavil Dò, nan lavil Jibleyam, nan lavil Megibo ak nan tout ti bouk ki te sou kont yo. Konsa, moun Kanaran yo te toujou ap viv nan peyi a.
Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
28 Lè moun Izrayèl yo te vin pi fò, yo fòse moun Kanaran yo travay pou yo, men, yo pa janm mete yo deyò.
It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
29 Moun branch fanmi Efrayim yo tou pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Gezè. Se konsa, moun Kanaran yo rete viv la ansanm ak yo.
Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
30 Moun branch fanmi Zabilon yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Kitwon ak nan lavil Naalòl. Moun Kanaran yo te rete viv ansanm ak yo, men yo te blije travay pou moun Zabilon yo.
Zebulun didn't drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.
31 Moun branch fanmi Asè yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Sidon, lavil Alad, lavil Akzid, lavil Elba, lavil Afik ak lavil Reyòb.
Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
32 Se konsa, moun Asè yo t'ap viv ansanm ak moun Kanaran ki te rete nan peyi a, paske yo pa t' mete yo deyò.
but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.
33 Moun branch fanmi Nèftali yo pa t' mete moun Kanaran yo deyò nan lavil Bèt-Chemèch, ni nan lavil Bèt Anat. Yo te rete ansanm ak moun Kanaran ki te rete nan peyi a. Men, moun lavil Bèt-Chemèch ak moun lavil Bèt anat yo te blije travay pou yo.
Naphtali didn't drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.
34 Moun Amori yo menm te kwense moun fanmi Dann yo nan mòn yo. Yo pa t' kite yo desann nan plenn lan menm.
The Amorites forced the people of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;
35 Se konsa, moun Amori yo rete rete yo nan mòn Erès, nan lavil Ayalon ak nan lavil Chalbim. Men, lè moun fanmi Jozèf yo rive donminen sou yo, yo fè yo travay pou yo.
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 subject to forced labor.
36 Fwontyè peyi moun Amori yo te konmanse depi pas Eskòpyon yo, moute rive gwo Wòch.
The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.
