< Joshua 10 >

1 Now when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them,
Adonisedèk, wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, te vin konnen Jozye te pran lavil Ayi a, li te detwi l' nèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, li te touye wa a menm jan li te fè l' pou lavil Jeriko ansanm ak wa li a. Adonisedèk te vin pran nouvèl tou moun Gabawon yo te al rann tèt yo bay moun Izrayèl yo, epi yo t'ap viv nan mitan yo.
2 they were very afraid, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
Tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo te pè anpil, paske Gabawon te yon gwo lavil, tankou nenpòt ki lavil ki te gen yon wa ap gouvènen li. Li te pi gwo pase lavil Ayi. Lèfini, tout gason la te vanyan sòlda.
3 Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Se konsa, Adonisedèk, wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, voye misyon bay Oram, wa lavil Ebwon, bay Pireyam, wa lavil Jamout, bay Jafya, wa lavil Lakis, ak bay Debi, wa lavil Eglon.
4 “Come up to me and help me. Let’s strike Gibeon; for they have made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.”
Li voye di yo. -Vin jwenn mwen. Vin ede m' atake lavil Gabawon, paske moun sa yo al rann tèt yo bay Jozye ak pèp Izrayèl la.
5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together and went up, they and all their armies, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
Se konsa senk wa moun Amori yo: wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, wa lavil Ebwon an, wa lavil Jamout la, wa lavil Lakis la, wa lavil Eglon an, mete tèt ansanm, yo fè yon sèl lame ak tout sòlda yo. Yo sènen lavil Gabawon, yo atake l'.
6 The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Don’t abandon your servants! Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”
Moun lavil Gabawon yo voye mesaje nan kan Gilgal la di Jozye konsa: -Mèt, tanpri, pa lage nou! Prese vin jwenn nou pou ede nou, pou delivre nou. Paske tout wa moun Amori ki rete nan mòn yo mete tèt ansanm, yo leve dèyè nou pou yo fini ak nou.
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and the whole army with him, including all the mighty men of valor.
Se konsa, Jozye ak tout lame a ansanm ak tout vanyan sòlda li yo kite Gilgal, yo leve yo pati.
8 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t fear them, for I have delivered them into your hands. Not a man of them will stand before you.”
Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè yo. M'ap lage yo tout nan men ou. Pa gen yonn ladan yo ki ka kenbe tèt avè ou.
9 Joshua therefore came to them suddenly. He marched from Gilgal all night.
Lè Jozye kite Gilgal, li pase tout nwit lan ap mache. Li rive sou moun Amori yo san yo pa t' atann.
10 Yahweh confused them before Israel. He killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah and to Makkedah.
Seyè a fè moun Amori yo pran kouri lè yo wè moun Izrayèl yo. Li fè pèp Izrayèl la bat yo byen bat lòt bò lavil Gabawon an. Moun Izrayèl yo kouri desann dèyè yo nan pant Bètowon an, yo bat yo jouk Azeka ak Makeda nan sid la.
11 As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, Yahweh hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.
Pandan yo t'ap kouri devan lame Izrayèl la, depi nan desann pant Bètowon an jouk yo rive Azeka, Seyè a rete nan syèl la, li voye gwo boul lagrèl sou yo pou touye yo. Lagrèl la te touye plis moun pase lame Izrayèl la avèk nepe yo.
12 Then Joshua spoke to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel. He said in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand still on Gibeon! You, moon, stop in the valley of Aijalon!”
Jou Seyè a te lage moun Amori yo nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo, Jozye pale ak Seyè a devan tout pèp la, li di: -Solèy! Rete klere sou lavil Gabawon! Lalin! Rete klere sou Pon Ayalon!
13 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn’t this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and didn’t hurry to go down about a whole day.
Solèy la rete kote l' te ye a, lalin lan pa fè yon pa jouk pèp Izrayèl la te fin kraze lènmi l' yo. Se sa nou jwenn ekri nan liv Moun ki mache dwat la. Solèy la rete nan mitan syèl la san li pa mache yon bon tan, longè yon jounen konsa. Se apre sa l' al kouche.
14 There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man; for Yahweh fought for Israel.
Ni anvan sa, ni apre sa, pa janm gen yon jou tankou jou sa a lè Seyè a te fè sa yon moun te mande l' fè, epi li goumen pou pèp Izrayèl la.
15 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Apre sa, Jozye ak tout lame Izrayèl la tounen nan kan yo Gilgal.
16 These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
Men, senk wa yo te kouri chape, y' al kache nan gwòt Makeda a.
17 Joshua was told, saying, “The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
Y' al di Jozye yo jwenn senk wa yo kache nan gwòt Makeda a.
18 Joshua said, “Roll large stones to cover the cave’s entrance, and set men by it to guard them;
Jozye reponn: -Woule wòch bouche bouch gwòt la. Mete moun veye yo.
19 but don’t stay there. Pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter into their cities; for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.”
Men, nou menm, souke kò nou. Kouri dèyè lènmi yo. Atake yo pa dèyè. Pa kite yo gen tan rive nan lavil yo! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, lage yo nan men nou.
20 When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished killing them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,
Jozye ak sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo t'ap masakre yo: sa ki te chape yo kouri al kache nan lavil ki gen gwo ranpa yo.
21 all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. None moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
Lè sa a, tout lame Jozye a tounen vin jwenn li nan kan Makeda a san pwoblèm, san danje. Pesonn pa t' penmèt yo di anyen sou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
22 Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance, and bring those five kings out of the cave to me.”
Lè sa a, Jozye di: -Degaje bouch gwòt la. Mennen senk wa yo deyò vin jwenn mwen.
23 They did so, and brought those five kings out of the cave to him: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
Yo degaje bouch gwòt la, yo mennen senk wa yo deyò vin jwenn li. Se te wa lavil Jerizalèm lan, wa lavil Ebwon an, wa lavil Jamout la, wa lavil Lakis la ak wa lavil Eglon an.
24 When they brought those kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, “Come near. Put your feet on the necks of these kings.” They came near, and put their feet on their necks.
Lè yo mennen wa yo ba li, Jozye rele tout gason nan pèp Izrayèl la, epi li di chèf ki te avè l' yo: -Vini non! Mete pye nou sou kou wa sa yo! Yo pwoche vre, yo mete pye yo sou kou wa yo.
25 Joshua said to them, “Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Be strong and courageous, for Yahweh will do this to all your enemies against whom you fight.”
Epi Jozye di yo: -Nou pa bezwen tranble! Nou pa bezwen pè! Mete gason sou nou! Pa janm dekouraje paske Seyè a pral fè nou mete pye nou sou kou tout lènmi n'a jwenn sou wout nou!
26 Afterward Joshua struck them, put them to death, and hanged them on five trees. They were hanging on the trees until the evening.
Apre sa, Jozye touye wa yo epi li fè pann kadav yo sou senk pyebwa kote yo rete pandye jouk aswè.
27 At the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and threw them into the cave in which they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.
Lè solèy fin kouche, Jozye bay lòd pou yo desann kadav yo, epi pou yo voye yo jete nan gwòt kote yo te kache a. Apre sa, yo pran gwo wòch yo bouche bouch gwòt la. Wòch yo la jouk jòdi a.
28 Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king. He utterly destroyed it and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. He did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Menm jou sa a, Jozye atake lavil Makeda, epi li pran l'. Li touye wa a. Lèfini, li fè touye tout moun ak tout bèt ki te nan lavil la tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, san li pa kite anyen chape. Li fè wa Makeda a menm sa li te fè wa Jeriko a.
29 Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite Makeda, y' al atake lavil Libna.
30 Yahweh delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Seyè a lage lavil la ansanm ak tout wa a nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te nan lavil la san yo pa kite anyen chape. Li fè wa a menm sa li fè wa Jeriko a.
31 Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite Libna, y' al atake Lakis. Yo sènen lavil la nèt.
32 Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel. He took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Seyè a lage lavil Lakis nan men moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Sou dezyèm jou a, yo pran lavil la. Li fè yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te nan lavil la, menm jan yo te fè l' nan lavil Libna a, san li pa kite yonn chape.
33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him no one remaining.
Lè sa a Oram, wa peyi Gezè a, moute vin pote moun Lakis yo sekou. Men, Jozye bat li byen bat ansanm ak tout moun pa l' yo. Li fè touye yo tout san li pa kite yonn chape.
34 Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it and fought against it.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la kite lavil Lakis, y' al atake lavil Eglon. Yo sènen l' nèt.
35 They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Menm jou a, yo pran lavil la, yo touye tout moun ladan l'. Wi, jou sa a, tankou yon ofrann y'ap fè pou Seyè a, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki t'ap viv la, menm jan yo te fè l' nan lavil Lakis la.
36 Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
Apre sa, Jozye ansanm ak lame Izrayèl la kite lavil Eglon, yo moute al atake Ebwon.
37 They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.
Yo pran lavil la, yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt ki te rete la ansanm ak tou sa ki te rete nan ti bouk nan zòn lan. Li pa kite yon moun chape, menm jan li te fè l' lavil Eglon an. Li fè touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a.
38 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.
Apre sa ankò, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la vire sou lavil Debi, y' al atake l'.
39 He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.
Yo pran lavil la ansanm ak wa a ak tout lòt ti bouk nan zòn lan. Jozye fè touye tout moun ak tout bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a. Li pa kite yonn chape. Menm sa li te fè moun lavil Ebwon yo, menm sa li te fè moun lavil Libna yo ak wa yo a, se sa Jozye fè lavil Debi ak wa li a tou.
40 So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, the South, the lowland, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no one remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded.
Se konsa Jozye te fè tout peyi a soumèt devan li. Li te kraze tout wa yo, kit sa ki t'ap gouvènen nan mòn yo ak nan Negèv la, kit sa ki t'ap gouvènen nan plenn yo ak sou ti mòn yo. Li pa kite yon moun chape. Li touye dènye moun, dènye bèt tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, jan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te ba li lòd fè a.
41 Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
Jozye bat yo depi Kadès-Banea sou bò sid rivyè Gaza, bò rivaj la, nan tout zòn Gochenn lan jouk Gabawon sou bò nò.
42 Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
Jozye te pran tout wa sa yo ak tout peyi yo nan yon sèl soti, paske Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, t'ap goumen pou pèp la.
43 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Lèfini, Jozye ansanm ak tout lame Izrayèl la tounen nan kan yo Gilgal.
