< Jozye 11 >

1 Nouvèl tout bagay sa yo rive nan zòrèy Jaben, wa Azò a. Li menm, li voye nouvèl la bay Yobad, wa lavil Madon, bay wa Chimwon ak wa Akchaf,
And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 bay tout wa ki rete bò nò a, nan mòn yo, nan fon ki anba Chinawòt, nan plenn yo ak nan koulin Dò yo bò solèy kouche.
and to the kings that were on the north, in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
3 Li voye nouvèl la bay moun Kanaran yo ki rete sou de bò larivyè Jouden an, bay moun Amori yo, bay moun Evi yo, bay moun Ferezi yo, bay moun Jebis yo nan tout mòn yo, bay moun Evi yo ki rete nan pye mòn Emon nan peyi Mispa.
to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Tout wa yo vini avèk tout sòlda yo. Sa te fè yon gwo lame sòlda pesonn pa t' ka konte, ou ta di grenn sab bò lanmè, avèk yon kantite chwal ak cha lagè.
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5 Wa yo pran randevou, yo mete tout sòlda yo ansanm. Yo rive, yo moute kan yo yonn sou kote lòt, toupre dlo Mewòm yo, pou yo atake pèp Izrayèl la.
And all these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
6 Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Ou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo! Denmen, lè konsa, m'ap fè nou wè tout tonbe mouri la devan je nou. Nou menm, nou pral koupe jarèt tout chwal yo, epi n'ap boule cha yo.
And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
7 Se konsa, Jozye rive bò dlo Mewòm lan ak tout sòlda li yo, li tonbe sou lènmi yo san yo pa t' atann, li atake yo.
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.
8 Seyè a lage yo nan men pèp Izrayèl la: sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo bat yo byen bat. Yo kouri dèyè yo jouk Gwo Sidon ak Misrefòt sou bò nò, jouk Fon Mispa sou bò solèy leve. Yo bat yo nèt, yo pa kite yonn ladan yo chape.
And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
9 Jozye fè yo tou sa Seyè a te ba li lòd fè a: li koupe jarèt chwal yo, li boule tout cha lagè yo.
And Joshua did unto them as Jehovah bade him: he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 Apre sa, Jozye tounen sou dèyè, li pran lavil Azò, epi li touye wa li a. Lè sa a, Azò te pi gwo lavil nan tout peyi wa yo.
And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
11 Li fè touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt vivan ki te la tankou yon ofrann y'ap fè pou Seyè a. Yo pa kite yonn ladan yo chape. Lèfini, yo mete dife nan lavil la.
And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
12 Jozye pran tout lavil yo ansanm ak wa yo. Epi li fè touye tout wa yo, dapre prensip ki vle pou yo touye yo tankou yon ofrann pou Seyè a, jan Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te kite lòd pou yo fè l' la.
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded.
13 Men, moun Izrayèl yo pa t' boule ankenn lavil nan lavil ki te bati sou ti mòn yo, an wetan lavil Azò Jozye te fè boule.
But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
14 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran tout bagay ak tout bèt yo te jwenn nan lavil yo. Men, yo touye tout moun, yo pa kite yonn chape.
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed.
15 Seyè a te bay Moyiz, sèvitè li a, lòd li yo. Moyiz menm te bay Jozye menm lòd yo tou. Se konsa Jozye te fè tou sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè, san manke anyen.
As Jehovah commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.
16 Jozye ak pèp Izrayèl la te pran tout peyi a nan men moun yo, ki vle di: mòn yo, tout Negèv la, tout peyi Gochenn lan, plenn yo, Fon Jouden an, tout mòn ak tout ti bit peyi Izrayèl yo,
So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill-country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;
17 depi Mòn Alak ki toupre peyi Seyi a, jouk Baal-Gad ki nan fon Liban an nan pye mòn Emon an. Li mete men sou tout wa yo, li bat yo, li touye yo.
from mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them to death.
18 Jozye te pase yon bon tan ap fè lagè ak wa sa yo.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
19 An wetan lavil Gabawon kote moun Evi yo te rete a, pa t' gen ankenn lavil ki te vle fè lapè ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo,
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: they took all in battle.
20 paske Seyè a te fè tout moun sa yo soti pou goumen ak pèp Izrayèl la. Se pou pèp Izrayèl la te touye tout tankou ofrann pou Seyè a, san pitye pou yo yonn menm, pou yo tout te ka disparèt, jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la.
For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
21 Lè sa a, Jozye leve, l' ale, li touye tout moun Anak yo ki te rete nan mòn yo, nan lavil Ebwon, lavil Debi, lavil Anab, nan tout mòn peyi Jida ak tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo. Li fè touye yo tout. Apre sa, li detwi tout lavil yo tankou ofrann pou Seyè a.
And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
22 Pa t' gen yon moun Anak ankò nan peyi Izrayèl la, esepte lavil Gaza, lavil Gat ak lavil Asdòd.
There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
23 Jozye te pran tout peyi a, jan Seyè a te di Moyiz la, epi li bay pèp Izrayèl la li pou li rele l' pa l'. Li separe l', li bay chak branch fanmi pòsyon pa yo. Apre tout batay sa yo, peyi a t'ap viv nan lapè, pa t' gen goumen ankò.
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah spake unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
