< Joshua 8 >

1 After, the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Feare not, neither bee thou faint hearted: take all the men of warre with thee and arise, go vp to Ai: beholde, I haue giuen into thine hand the King of Ai, and his people, and his citie, and his land.
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè. Ou pa bezwen dekouraje. Pran tout sòlda yo avè ou, epi mache sou lavil Ayi. M'ap lage wa lavil la ansanm ak pèp la, lavil la ak tout zòn yo a nan men ou.
2 And thou shalt doe to Ai and to the King thereof, as thou didst vnto Iericho and to the King thereof: neuerthelesse the spoyle thereof and the cattell thereof shall ye take vnto you for a praye: thou shalt lye in wait against the citie on the backside thereof.
Menm sa ou te fè moun lavil Jeriko yo ak wa yo a, se sa ou pral fè moun lavil Ayi yo ak wa yo a. Men, fwa sa a, n'a gen dwa pran byen yo ak bèt yo pou nou. Fè sòlda yo al anbiske kò yo pou yo atake lavil la pa dèyè.
3 Then Ioshua arose, and all the men of warre to goe vp against Ai: and Ioshua chose out thirtie thousand strong men, and valiant, and sent them away by night.
Se konsa, Jozye reyini tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, li fè plan pou yo mache sou lavil Ayi. Jozye chwazi trantmil (30.000) vanyan gason, li fè yo pati devan nan mitan lannwit.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, yee shall lye in waite against the citie on the backeside of the citie: goe not very farre from the citie, but be ye all in a readinesse.
Men lòd li ba yo: -Al anbiske kò nou lòt bò sou dèyè lavil la. Pa kache twò lwen non. Epi pare pou nou atake.
5 And I and all the people that are with me, will approche vnto the citie: and when they shall come out against vs, as they did at the first time, then will we flee before them.
Mwen menm, mwen pral pwoche bò lavil la avèk tout sòlda ki avè m' yo pa devan pòtay la. Lè n'a wè moun lavil yo soti vin fè fas kare ak nou, nou menm ki sou devan yo, n'a pran kouri devan yo ankò, jan nou te fè l' anvan an.
6 For they wil come out after vs, till we haue brought them out of the citie: for they will say, They flee before vs as at the first time: so we will flee before them.
Yo menm menm yo pral kouri dèyè nou, jouk y'a kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè yo, paske yo pral konprann se tankou premye fwa a.
7 Then you shall rise vp from lying in waite and destroy the citie: for the Lord your God wil deliuer it into your hand.
Lè sa a, nou menm ki te kache sou dèyè a, n'a soti kote nou te anbiske kò nou an, n'a antre nan lavil la, paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap lage lavil la nan men nou.
8 And when ye haue taken the citie, ye shall set it on fire: according to the commandement of the Lord shall ye do: behold, I haue charged you.
Lè n'a fin pran lavil la, n'a mete dife ladan l' jan Seyè a te mande l' la. Men lòd mwen ban nou.
9 Ioshua then sent them foorth, and they went to lye in waite, and abode betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of Ai: but Ioshua lodged that night among the people.
Se konsa, Jozye voye yo ale. Y' al anbiske kò yo sou dèyè lavil la, sou bò solèy kouche, ant lavil Ayi ak lavil Betèl. Jozye menm rete pase lannwit lan nan kan an.
10 And Ioshua rose vp early in the morning, and nombred the people: and he and the Elders of Israel went vp before the people against Ai.
Nan maten, bonè bonè, Jozye leve, li reyini tout lòt sòlda yo. Li pase yo enspeksyon. Apre sa, li pran direksyon lavil Ayi a pou li. Li t'ap mache alatèt lame a ansanm ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo.
11 Also all the men of warre that were with him went vp and drewe neere, and came against the citie, and pitched on the Northside of Ai: and there was a valley betweene them and Ai.
Sòlda ki te avè l' yo rive jouk anfas pòtay lavil la. Yo moute kan yo sou bò nò lavil Ayi a. Yo kite yon ti fon nan mitan yo ak lavil Ayi a.
12 And hee tooke about fiue thousande men, and set them to lye in waite betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of the citie.
Jozye pran senkmil (5.000) sòlda, li fè yo al kache sou bò solèy kouche, ant lavil Ayi ak lavil Betèl.
13 And the people set all the hoste that was on the Northside against the citie, and the liers in waite on the West, against the citie: and Ioshua went the same night into the mids of the valley.
Se konsa, pifò nan lame a moute kan yo sou bò nò lavil la, epi rès lame a al kache kò yo sou bò solèy kouche. Jou sa a, Jozye pase lannwit lan nan Fon an.
14 And when the King of Ai sawe it, then the men of the citie hasted and rose vp earely, and went out against Israel to battell, hee and all his people at the time appointed, before the plaine: for he knew not that any lay in waite against him on the backeside of the citie.
Lè wa lavil Ayi a wè sòlda Jozye yo, li menm ansanm ak tout gason nan lavil la, yo leve granmaten, yo prese pare yo. Yo soti al atake moun Izrayèl yo sou pant ki desann nan Fon Jouden an. Men, li pa t' konnen yo tapral atake l' sou dèyè.
15 Then Ioshua and all Israel as beaten before them, fled by the way of the wildernes.
Jozye ak moun pa l' yo fè tankou y'ap kouri pou yo, yo lage kò yo nan dezè a.
16 And all the people of the citie were called together, to pursue after them: and they pursued after Ioshua, and were drawen away out of the city,
Tout gason ki te nan lavil la t'ap kouri dèyè yo, yo t'ap rele byen fò. Se konsa, nan kouri dèyè Jozye a, yo kite lavil la byen lwen dèyè.
17 So that there was not a man left in Ai, nor in Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the citie open, and pursued after Israel.
Pa t' gen yon gason nan lavil Ayi a, tout te kouri soti dèyè pèp Izrayèl la. Yo kite pòtay lavil la gran batan louvri san pesonn pou defann li.
18 Then the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Stretch out the speare that is in thine hande, towarde Ai: for I wil giue it into thine hand: and Ioshua stretched out the speare that hee had in his hand, toward the citie.
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Leve frenn ki nan men ou lan, lonje l' sou lavil Ayi a: mwen pral lage lavil la nan men ou. Jozye lonje frenn ki te nan men l' lan sou lavil la.
19 And they that lay in wait, arose quickly out of their place, and ranne as soone as he had stretched out his hand, and they entred into the citie, and tooke it, and hasted, and set the citie on fire.
Leve li leve men l', mesye ki te anbiske kò yo soti byen vit nan kachèt yo a, yo kouri antre nan lavil la, yo pran lavil la pou yo. Lamenm yo mete dife ladan l'.
20 And the men of Ai looked behinde them, and sawe it: for loe, the smoke of the citie ascended vp to heauen, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: for the people that fled to the wildernesse, turned backe vpon the pursuers.
Lè mesye lavil Ayi yo vire tèt yo gade, yo wè yon gwo lafimen ki t'ap soti nan lavil la moute nan syèl, yo pa t' konn ki bò pou yo fè, paske lè sa a, sòlda pèp Izrayèl ki t'ap kouri nan direksyon dezè a te vire tounen sou yo.
21 When Ioshua and all Israel sawe that they that lay in waite, had taken the citie, and that the smoke of the citie mounted vp, then they turned againe and slewe the men of Ai.
Lè Jozye ak tout moun li yo wè lòt sòlda ki te kache yo te pran lavil la, lè yo wè dife nan lavil la, yo vire tounen, yo atake moun lavil Ayi yo.
22 Also the other issued out of the citie against them: so were they in the middes of Israel, these being on the one side, and the rest on the other side: and they slewe them, so that they let none of them remaine nor escape.
Lòt moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm soti nan lavil la, epi yo mache sou yo tou. Konsa moun lavil Ayi yo te sènen toupatou ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo touye mezi moun yo jwenn devan yo. Yo pa kite yonn vivan,
23 And the King of Ai they tooke aliue, and brought him to Ioshua.
esepte wa lavil Ayi a. Yo pran msye, yo mennen l' bay Jozye.
24 And when Israel had made an ende of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the fielde, that is, in the wildernesse, where they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sworde, vntill they were consumed, all the Israelites returned vnto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sworde.
Moun Izrayèl yo kouri dèyè lènmi yo nan tout mòn yo ak nan tout dezè a. Lè yo fin touye tout, yo tounen lavil Ayi, epi yo touye tout moun ki te ladan l'.
25 And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Ai.
Jou sa a, yo touye douzmil (12000) moun, fi kou gason, ki t'ap viv nan lavil Ayi a.
26 For Ioshua drewe not his hande backe againe which he had stretched out with the speare, vntill hee had vtterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Jozye menm te kenbe bra l' leve anlè ak frenn lan lonje sou lavil Ayi a jouk yo te fin touye tout moun ki te rete nan lavil la tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a.
27 Onely the cattell and the spoyle of this citie, Israel tooke for a praye vnto themselues, according vnto the worde of the Lord, which hee commanded Ioshua.
Moun Izrayèl yo te pran tout bèt moun yo ak tout byen yo pou yo, jan Seyè a te bay Jozye lòd la.
28 And Ioshua burnt Ai, and made it an heape for euer, and a wildernes vnto this day.
Jozye boule lavil Ayi a, li fè l' tounen mazi, kote moun pa janm rete jouk jòdi a.
29 And the King of Ai hee hanged on a tree, vnto the euening. And as soone as the sunne was down, Ioshua commanded that they should take his carkeis downe from the tree, and cast it at the entring of ye gate of the city, and lay thereon a great heape of stones, that remaineth vnto this day.
Li fè yo pann wa lavil Ayi a nan yon pyebwa, epi yo kite l' la jouk aswè. Lè solèy kouche, Jozye bay lòd pou yo desann kadav la. Yo pran l', yo voye l' jete devan pòtay lavil la. Yo mete yon gwo pil wòch sou li. Pil wòch la la jouk jòdi a.
30 Then Ioshua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
Lè sa a, Jozye bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, sou mòn Ebal.
31 As Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, an altar of whole stone, ouer which no man had lift an yron: and they offered thereon burnt offrings vnto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
Li bati li dapre lòd Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo, jan sa ekri nan liv Lalwa Moyiz la: N'a bati yon lotèl ak wòch ki pa t' janm travay ak zouti fè. Yo ofri sou lotèl la bèt yo touye pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, epi yo touye bèt pou mande Bondye padon.
32 Also he wrote there vpon the stones, a rehearsall of the Lawe of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
Antan yo la, Jozye pran lalwa Moyiz te ekri pou pèp Izrayèl la, li kopye l' sou tout wòch lotèl la devan tout pèp la.
33 And all Israel (and their Elders, and officers and their iudges stoode on this side of the Arke, and on that side, before the Priestes of the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) as well the stranger, as he that is borne in the countrey: halfe of them were ouer against mount Gerizim, and halfe of them ouer against mount Ebal, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should blesse the people of Israel.
Apre sa, tout pèp Izrayèl la vini ak chèf fanmi yo, direktè yo ak jij yo ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo, yo kanpe sou de bò Bwat Kontra Seyè a, ak fas yo vire ap gade moun Levi ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a sou zepòl yo nan mitan. Mwatye ladan yo te kanpe sou pant Mòn Garizim, mwatye sou bò mòn Ebal. Se konsa, depi lontan Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te ba yo lòd kanpe lè lè a va rive pou yo resevwa benediksyon.
34 Then afterwarde hee read all the wordes of the Lawe, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the booke of the Lawe.
Lèfini, Jozye li tout pawòl ki te nan liv lalwa a, pawòl benediksyon yo kou pawòl madichon yo, jan yo ekri nan liv lalwa a.
35 There was not a worde of all that Moses had commanded, which Ioshua read not before all the Congregation of Israel, as well before the women and the children, as the stranger that was conuersant among them.
Jozye li tout kòmandman Moyiz te bay yo san sote yon mo devan tout pèp Izrayèl la ki te reyini ansanm ak fanm yo, timoun yo ak tout moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan mitan yo.
