< Joshua 10 >

1 When Adonisedec king of Jerusalem had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai, and its king, ) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates,
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Adoni-Tsédek, wa Jérusalem nan te tande ke Josué te kapte Aï e te detwi li nèt (jis jan ke li te fè Jéricho avèk wa li a, konsa li te fè Aïavèk wa li a), e ke pèp Gabaon an te fè lapè avèk Israël e yo te rete nan mitan yo,
2 He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.
ke li te vin pè anpil, akoz Gabaon te yon gran vil tankou youn nan vil wayal yo, epi akoz li te pi gran ke Aï e tout gason li yo te pwisan.
3 Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:
Pou sa, Adoni-Tsédek, wa Jérusalem nan te voye Hoham, wa Hébron an ak Piream, wa Jarmuth ak Japhia, wa Lakis avèk Debir, wa Eglon an, e te di:
4 Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel.
“Vin monte kote mwen pou ede m. Annou atake Gabaon, paske yo te fè lapè avèk Josué e avèk fis Israël yo.”
5 So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.
Konsa, senk wa Amoreyen yo, wa Jérusalem nan, wa Hébron an, wa Jarmuth lan, wa Lakis la ak wa Eglon an te monte, yo menm avèk tout lame yo, yo te fè kan akote Gabaon pou te goumen kont li.
6 But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.
Mesye Gabaon yo te voye kote Josué kote kan Guilgal la, e te di: “Pa abandone sèvitè ou yo; vin monte kote nou pou ede nou; paske tout wa Amoreyen ki rete nan peyi kolin yo te vin rasanble kont nou.”
7 And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.
Alò, Josué te monte soti Guilgal, li menm ansanm ak tout moun lagè yo ak tout gèrye vanyan yo.
8 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.
SENYÈ a te di a Josué: “Pa pè yo, paske Mwen te mete yo nan men ou. Pa menm youn nan yo va kanpe devan ou.”
9 So Josue going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.
Konsa, Josué te parèt sou yo sibitman akoz yo te mache nan nwit lan soti Guilgal.
10 And the Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.
Epi SENYÈ a te fè yo fè dega devan Israël. Li te touye yo avèk yon gwo masak nan Gabaon, Li te kouri dèyè yo nan chemen pant Beth-Horon e Li te frape yo jis rive Azéka, avèk Makkéda.
11 And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel.
Pandan yo t ap sove ale devan Israël, pandan yo t ap desann pant Beth-Horon an, SENYÈ a te voye gwo wòch sòti nan syèl la sou yo jis rive Azéka, e yo te mouri. Pifò nan yo te mouri akoz gwo lagrèl ke sila ke fis Israël yo te touye avèk lam nepe yo.
12 Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.
Konsa, Josué te pale avèk SENYÈ a nan jou ke SENYÈ a te livre Amoreyen yo devan fis Israël yo. Li te pale devan tout zye a fis Israël yo: “O solèy, kanpe an plas sou Gabaon! Epi lalin nan, rete la, nan vale Ajalon!”
13 And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.
Alò, solèy la te kanpe e lalin nan pa t deplase Jiskaske nasyon an te fè revandikasyon an yo menm, sou lènmi yo. Èske sa pa ekri nan liv Jaser a? Solèy la te rete nan mitan syèl la e li pa t deplase pandan anviwon yon jou konplè.
14 There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.
Pa t gen jou tankou sila a ni devan li, ni apre li, lè SENYÈ a te koute vwa a yon moun; paske SENYÈ a te goumen pou Israël.
15 And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.
Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te retounen nan kan an Guilgal.
16 For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.
Men senk wa sila yo te sove ale pou te kache kò yo nan gwòt Makkéda a.
17 And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.
Li te pale a Jousé ke: “Senk wa yo te twouve kache nan gwòt Makkéda a.”
18 And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:
Josué te di: “Woule gwo wòch yo kont bouch gwòt la; epi mete mesye yo veye l,
19 And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.
men pa rete nou menm. Swiv lènmi nou yo pou atake yo pa dèyè. Pa kite yo antre nan vil yo, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te livre yo nan men nou.”
20 So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.
Li te vin rive ke lè Josué avèk fis Israël yo te fin touye yo avèk yon gwo masak, jiskaske yo tout te fin detwi e sila ki te chape yo, yo te antre nan vil fòtifye yo,
21 And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.
pou tout pèp la te retounen nan kan an kote Josué nan Makkéda anpè. Pèsòn pa t pale yon mo kont fis Israël yo.
22 And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.
Epi Jousé te di: “Ouvri bouch gwòt la e mennen senk wa sa yo sòti nan gwòt la.”
23 And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.
Se konsa yo te fè, yo te mennen senk wa sila yo soti deyò gwòt la: wa Jérusalem nan, wa Hébron an, wa Jarmuth lan, wa Lakis la ak wa Eglon an.
24 And when they were Drought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,
Lè yo te mennen wa sa yo sòti kote Josué, Josué te rele tout mesye Israël yo. Li te di a chèf gèrye yo ki te ale avèk l, “Vin mete pye nou sou kou a wa sa yo.” Epi yo te vini epou te mete pye yo sou kou yo.
25 He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.
Epi Josué te di yo: “Pa pè, ni dekouraje! Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj, paske konsa SENYÈ a va fè a tout lènmi nou yo lè yo goumen avèk nou.”
26 And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets, and they hung until the evening.
Epi answit, Josué te frape yo e te mete yo a lanmò, epi te pann yo sou senk pyebwa. Yo te pann sou bwa yo jis rive nan aswè.
27 And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.
Li te rive nan lè solèy kouche ke Josué te bay yon kòmand pou yo te desann yo nan pyebwa yo, e jete yo nan gwòt kote yo te kache kò yo a. Yo te mete gwo wòch sou bouch gwòt la, ki la jis jodi a.
28 The same day Josue took Maceda and destroyed it, with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Alò, Josué te kaptire Makkéda nan jou sa a. Li te frape l, ansanm ak wa li a avèk lam nepe. Li te konplètman detwi li ak tout moun ki te ladann. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan. Konsa li te fè a wa Makkéda a, jis jan ke li te fè a wa Jéricho a.
29 And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:
Epi Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te pase soti Makkéda a Libna pou te goumen kont Libna.
30 And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof. They left not in it any remains. And they did to the king of Lebna, as they had done to the king of Jericho.
SENYÈ a te bay Libna tou ansanm ak wa li nan men Israël. Li te frape li ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan ladann. Konsa li te fè a wa a li menm bagay ke li te fè a wa Jéricho a.
31 From Lebna he passed unto Lachis, with all Israel: and investing it with his army, besieged it.
Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te pase soti nan Libna a Lakis. Yo te fè kan kontra li e te goumen kont li.
32 And the Lord delivered Lachis into the hands of Israel, and he took it the following day, and put it to the sword, and every soul that was in it, as he had done to Lebna.
SENYÈ a te bay Lakis nan men Israël. Li te kaptire li nan dezyèm jou a. Li te frape li ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe, jis jan ke li te fè a Libna a.
33 At that time Horam king of Gazer, came up to succour Lachis: and Josue slew him with all his people, so as to leave none alive.
Alò Horam, wa Guézer a, te monte pou ede Lakis. Jousé te bat li ak pèp li a jiskaske li pa t kite moun vivan.
34 And he passed from Lachis to Eglon, and surrounded it,
Konsa, Josué avèk tout Israël te kite Lakis pou Églon; Yo te fè kan kontra li e te goumen kont li.
35 And took it the same day: and put to the sword all the souls that were in it, according to all that he had done to Lachis.
Yo te kaptire li nan jou sila a e te frape li avèk lam nepe. Nan jou sa a, li te konplètman detwi tout moun ki te ladann, jis jan li te fè a Lakis la.
36 He went up also with all Israel from Eglon to Hebron, and fought against it:
Alò, Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te monte soti Églon a Hébron, epi yo te goumen kont li.
37 Took it, and destroyed it with the edge of the sword: the king also thereof, and all the towns of that country, and all the souls that dwelt in it: he left not therein any remains: as he had done to Eglon, so did he also to Hebron, putting to the sword all that he found in it.
Yo te kaptire li, frape li ak wa li a avèk tout vil li yo ak tout moun ki te ladann avèk lam nepe. Li pa t kite pèsòn vivan, jis jan li te fè Eglon an. Li te konplètman detwi li avèk tout moun ki te ladann.
38 Returning from thence to Dabir,
Epi Josué avèk tout Israël avèk li te retounen a Debir pou yo te goumen kont li.
39 He took it and destroyed it: the king also thereof and all the towns round about he destroyed with the edge of the sword: he left not in it any remains: as he had done to Hebron and Lebna and to their kings, so did he to Dabir and to the king thereof.
Li te kaptire li avèk wa li a, ak tout vil li yo. Yo te frape yo avèk lam nepe e te detwi yo nèt tout moun ladann. Li pa t kite moun vivan. Jis jan ke li te fè Hébron an, konsa li te fè Debir avèk wa li a e li te osi fè nan Libna avèk wa li a.
40 So Josue conquered all the country of the hills and of the south and of the plain, and of Asedoth, with their kings: he left not any remains therein, but slew all that breathed, as the Lord the God of Israel had commanded him,
Konsa, Josué te frape tout peyi a, peyi kolin yo avèk Negev la ak bas plèn nan avèk pant yo ak tout wa yo. Li pa t kite moun vivan, men li te konplètman detwi tout moun ki te gen souf lavi, jis jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, te kòmande a.
41 From Cadesbarne even to Gaza. All the land of Gosen even to Gabaon,
Josué te frape yo soti Kadès-Barnéa, jis rive Gaza.
42 And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him.
Jousé te kaptire tout wa sila yo avèk peyi yo nan yon sèl kou, akoz SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, te goumen pou Israël.
43 And he returned with all Israel to the place of the camp in Galgal.
Epi Josué ak tout Israël avèk li te retounen nan kan Guilgal la.
