Jozye 3
Haitian Creole Version
3 ¶ Jozye leve granmaten, epi li menm ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la yo kite Sitim kote yo te ye a, yo rive devan larivyè Jouden an. Epi yo pase nwit lan la anvan yo janbe lòt bò a.
2 Twa jou apre sa, chèf yo mache nan tout kan an.
3 Yo t'ap bay pèp la lòd sa pou yo fè. Yo t'ap di yo: -Lè n'a wè prèt yo ak moun Levi yo leve Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou yo pati, n'a fè pakèt nou pou nou ka swiv yo.
4 Se konsa n'a konnen ki wout pou nou pran, paske nou poko janm pase bò isit la. Men, piga nou pwoche twò pre Bwat Kontra a. N'a kite yon distans senksan (500) mèt konsa ant li ak nou.
5 Apre sa, Jozye di pèp la: -Mete nou nan kondisyon pou nou fè sèvis pou Bondye, paske denmen Seyè a pral fè mèvèy devan je nou.
6 Jozye pale ak prèt yo, li di yo: -Pran Bwat Kontra a, epi pran devan pèp la sou wout la. Prèt yo pran Bwat Kontra a, epi yo pran devan pèp la.
7 ¶ Seyè a di Jozye konsa: -Sa mwen pral fè jòdi a pral fè tout pèp Izrayèl la respekte ou tankou yon grannèg. Yo pral konnen mwen kanpe la avè ou menm jan mwen te kanpe avèk Moyiz.
8 Ou menm, pase prèt k'ap pote Bwat Kontra a lòd sa a. Di yo lè y'a rive bò rivyè a, y'a antre nan dlo a, epi y'a rete toupre rivaj la.
9 Lè sa a, Jozye di moun pèp Izrayèl la: -Pwoche non: Vin tande sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, gen pou di nou.
10 Lèfini, Jozye di yo konsa: -Jòdi a, nou pral konnen Seyè a, Bondye vivan an, nan mitan nou vre. Li pral chase devan nou moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Evi yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Gigach yo, moun Amori yo, moun Jebis yo.
11 Bwat Kontra Mèt tout latè a pral janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an anvan nou.
12 Chwazi douzòm, yonn nan chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
13 Lè prèt k'ap pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, Mèt tout latè a, va mete pye yo nan dlo larivyè Jouden an, larivyè a pral sispann koule desann, dlo a pral gonfle yon sèl kote bò tèt dlo a.
14 ¶ Se konsa, pèp la leve, yo kite kote yo te ye a. Yo pati pou janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an. Prèt yo pran devan pèp la avèk Bwat Kontra a.
15 Se te sezon rekòt, rivyè a t'ap desann, li te gonfle moute sou tout rivaj la. Lè prèt ki t'ap pote Bwat Kontra a rive bò larivyè Jouden an, yo mete pye yo nan dlo a.
16 Dlo ki t'ap koule desann lan sispann koule. Li gonfle yon sèl bò, bò anwo byen lwen, jouk Adam, lavil ki te toupre Zaretan an. Pa t' gen dlo ki t'ap koule desann nan lanmè Mouri a ankò. Se konsa pèp la janbe lòt bò larivyè a toupre lavil Jeriko.
17 Pandan pèp la t'ap janbe lòt bò san tak dlo pa mouye pye yo, prèt yo te rete kanpe nan mitan larivyè a avèk Bwat Kontra a. Pa t' gen tak dlo kote yo te ye a. Yo rete kanpe la jouk tout pèp la te fin pase nèt.

Crossing the Jordan
3 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim(A) and went to the Jordan,(B) where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days(C) the officers(D) went throughout the camp,(E) 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant(F) of the Lord your God, and the Levitical(G) priests(H) carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a](I) between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves,(J) for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things(K) among you.”
6 Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.
7 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you(L) in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.(M) 8 Tell the priests(N) who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.’”
9 Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God. 10 This is how you will know that the living God(O) is among you(P) and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites,(Q) Hivites, Perizzites,(R) Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.(S) 11 See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth(T) will go into the Jordan ahead of you.(U) 12 Now then, choose twelve men(V) from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth(W)—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream(X) will be cut off(Y) and stand up in a heap.(Z)”
14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant(AA) went ahead(AB) of them. 15 Now the Jordan(AC) is at flood stage(AD) all during harvest.(AE) Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, 16 the water from upstream stopped flowing.(AF) It piled up in a heap(AG) a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan,(AH) while the water flowing down(AI) to the Sea of the Arabah(AJ) (that is, the Dead Sea(AK)) was completely cut off.(AL) So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.(AM) 17 The priests(AN) who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground,(AO) while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.(AP)
