Judges 2
1 And an Angel of the Lord came vp from Gilgal to Bochim, and sayd, I made you to go vp out of Egypt, and haue brought you vnto the land which I had sworne vnto your fathers, and sayd, I wil neuer breake my couenant with you.
Zanj Seyè a kite Gilgal, li moute nan Kriye. Li di pèp Izrayèl la konsa: -Mwen fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip. Mwen fè nou antre nan peyi mwen te pwomèt zansèt nou yo. Mwen te di mwen p'ap janm kase kontra mwen te pase ak nou pou tout tan an.
2 Ye also shall make no couenant with the inhabitants of this land, but shall breake downe their altars: but ye haue not obeyed my voyce. Why haue ye done this?
Nou menm, bò pa nou, piga nou fè ankenn kontra ak moun k'ap viv nan peyi a. Se pou nou kraze tout lotèl yo. Men, nou pa fè sa m' te di nou fè a. Gade sa nou pito fè!
3 Wherefore, I sayd also, I wil not cast them out before you, but they shalbe as thornes vnto your sides, and their gods shalbe your destruction.
Se poutèt sa m'ap di nou: Mwen p'ap mete yo deyò devan nou. Y'ap rete la bò kote nou, bondye yo ap tounen yon pèlen pou nou.
4 And when the Angel of the Lord spake these wordes vnto all the children of Israel, the people lift vp their voyce, and wept.
Lè zanj Seyè a fin di yo sa, tout pèp la pran kriye.
5 Therefore they called the name of that place, Bochim, and offered sacrifices there vnto the Lord.
Se poutèt sa yo rele kote yo te ye a Nankriye. Epi yo ofri bèt pou touye pou Seyè a la.
6 Now when Ioshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went euery man into his inheritance, to possesse the land.
Jozye voye pèp la ale lakay yo. Se konsa, chak branch fanmi pèp la pati al pran pòsyon tè yo te ba yo nan peyi a.
7 And the people had serued the Lord al the dayes of Ioshua, and all the dayes of the Elders that outliued Ioshua, which had seene all the great works of the Lord that he did for Israel.
Pèp Izrayèl la te sèvi Seyè a pandan tout tan Jozye te vivan. Apre sa, yo sèvi l' pandan tout tan chèf ki te konnen sa Seyè a te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la te vivan toujou.
8 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun the seruant of the Lord dyed, when he was an hundreth and ten yeeres olde:
Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, sèvitè Seyè a, mouri. Li te gen sandizan (110 an).
9 And they buryed him in the coastes of his inheritance, in Timnath-heres in mount Ephraim, on the Northside of mount Gaash.
Yo antere l' sou tè ki te vin pou li a nan zòn Timnat-Erès, nan mòn ki pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, sou bò nò mòn Gach.
10 And so all that generation was gathered vnto their fathers, and another generation arose after them, which neither knewe the Lord, nor yet the works, which he had done for Israel.
Tout jenerasyon moun Jozye yo te fin mouri tou, yo te al jwenn zansèt yo anba tè. Apre yo, te vin gen yon lòt jenerasyon moun ki te bliye ni Seyè a ni sa li te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la.
11 Then the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and serued Baalim,
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Y' al sèvi Baal yo.
12 And forsooke ye Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the lande of Egypt, and followed other gods, euen the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed vnto them, and prouoked the Lord to anger.
Yo vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, Bondye ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la. Yo tonbe mache dèyè lòt bondye ki te fè pati bann bondye pèp ki te la toupatou bò kote yo. Y' al adore yo. Sa te fè Seyè a an kolè sou yo.
13 So they forsooke the Lord, and serued Baal, and Ashtaroth.
Yo vire do bay Seyè a, y' al fè sèvis pou Baal yo ak Astate yo.
14 And the wrath of the Lord was hote against Israel, and he deliuered them into the hands of spoylers, that spoyled them, and he sold them into the handes of their enemies rounde about them, so that they could no longer stande before their enemies.
Seyè a vin an kòlè sou pèp Izrayèl la, li kite ansasen atake yo pou pran tou sa yo te genyen. Li kite lènmi ki toupatou bò kote yo mete pye sou kou yo. Yo pa t' ka kenbe tèt devan lènmi yo ankò.
15 Whithersoeuer they went out, the hand of the Lord was sore against them, as ye Lord had sayd, and as the Lord had sworne vnto them: so he punished them sore.
Chak fwa y' al nan lagè, Seyè a te pran pozisyon kont yo pou malè yo, jan li te di li t'ap fè l' la. Se konsa yo t'ap bat yon sèl mizè!
16 Notwithstanding, the Lord raysed vp Iudges, which deliuered them out of the hands of their oppressours.
Se lè sa a Seyè a voye bay pèp Izrayèl la kèk chèf, vanyan gason ki te delivre yo anba men ansasen yo.
17 But yet they would not obey their Iudges: for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them, and turned quickly out of the way, wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandements of the Lord: they did not so.
Men, menm chèf sa yo, yo pa t' koute yo. Yo vire do bay Seyè a, y' al dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo. Yo te toujou prese kite chemen dwat kote zansèt yo t'ap mache lè yo t'ap swiv lòd Seyè a. Yo pa t' koute lòd Seyè a.
18 And when the Lord had raysed them vp Iudges, the Lord was with the Iudge, and deliuered them out of the hande of their enemies all the dayes of the Iudge (for the Lord had compassion on their gronings, because of them that oppressed them and tormented them)
Chak fwa Seyè a voye yon chèf konsa ba yo, li te kanpe la avèk chèf la, li te delivre yo anba men lènmi yo toutotan chèf la te vivan. Seyè a te gen pitye pou yo paske yo t'ap soufri anpil anba moun ki t'ap pèsekite yo ak anba moun ki t'ap peze yo.
19 Yet when the Iudge was dead, they returned, and did worse then their fathers, in following other gods to serue them and worshippe them: they ceased not from their owne inuentions, nor from their rebellious way.
Men, mouri chèf la mouri, pitit yo te rekonmanse lage kò yo nan menm vye bagay yo ankò pi mal pase papa yo. Y' al dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Yo t'ap fè tèt di, yo derefize sispann fè bagay sa yo.
20 Wherfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sayd, Because this people hath transgressed my couenant, which I commaded their fathers, and hath not obeyed my voyce,
Seyè a te fache anpil sou pèp Izrayèl la. Li di konsa: -Nasyon an kase kontra mwen te mande zansèt yo kenbe a. Yo pa vle koute m'.
21 Therefore will I no more cast out before them any of the nations, which Ioshua left when he dyed,
Bon, mwen menm tou, mwen p'ap mete lòt nasyon Jozye te mouri kite nan peyi a deyò ankò.
22 That through them I may proue Israel, whether they wil keepe the way of the Lord, to walke therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.
Se konsa m'a wè kote m' ye ak pèp Izrayèl la. M'a konnen si wi ou non yo soti pou fè sa m' mande yo fè a jan zansèt yo te fè l' la.
23 So the Lord left those nations, and droue them not out immediatly, neither deliuered them into the hand of Ioshua.
Se konsa Seyè a te kite lòt nasyon li pa t' lage anba men Jozye yo rete nan peyi a. Li pa prese mete yo deyò.
