Joshua 14
1 And these are the heritages which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, gave out to them;
Men tè yo te separe bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se Eleaza, prèt la, ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ansanm ak tout chèf fanmi nan tout branch pèp Izrayèl yo ki te bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
2 Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
Jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la, yo te tire osò devan Seyè a pou yo te ka konnen ki pòsyon ki tapral pou nèf branch fanmi ki te rete yo ak lòt mwatye branch nan fanmi Manase a.
3 For Moses had given their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage among them.
Moyiz te gen tan bay de branch fanmi ak mwatye nan yon twazyèm branch fanmi pòsyon pa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden. Men, li pa t' bay moun fanmi Levi yo ankenn pòsyon nan tè sa yo.
4 Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave the Levites no part in the land, only towns for their living-places, with the grass-lands for their cattle and for their property.
Fanmi Jozèf la te fè de branch: yonn pou Manase, yonn pou Efrayim. Moun Levi yo pa t' resevwa ankenn pòsyon nan tè a pou yo. Men yo te ba yo kèk lavil pou yo te rete ak savann toupre lavil yo pou yo gade bèt ak zannimo.
5 As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the people of Israel did, and they made division of the land.
Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te separe peyi a jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè l' la.
6 Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.
Moun branch fanmi Jida yo al jwenn Jozye nan kan Gilgal la. Kalèb pitit gason Jefoune, nan fanmi Kenaz la, di li: -Ou konnen sa Seyè a te di Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, sou ou ak sou mwen lè li te lavil Kadès-Banea.
7 I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.
Mwen te gen karantan lè Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, rete lavil Kadès-Banea, li voye m' al vizite tout peyi sa a. Lè m' tounen, mwen fè l' yon bon rapò dapre sa m' te wè.
8 My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.
Moun ki te moute avè m' yo pran dekouraje pèp la. Men mwen menm, mwen te fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, te vle m' fè.
9 And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.
Lè sa a, Moyiz fè m' pwomès sa a, li di m': Ou wè ou menm, ou fè tou sa Seyè a te vle ou fè. Se poutèt sa y'a ba ou tout kote ou mete pye ou yo pou ou ak pou tout ras ou apre ou.
10 And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-five years old.
Gade! Seyè a kenbe pwomès li, li pa kite m' gen tan mouri. Sa te fè deja karannsenkan depi Seyè a te di Moyiz sa. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la t'ap moute desann nan dezè a. Koulye a mwen gen katrevensenkan.
11 And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.
Men, mwen santi m' vanyan gason jòdi a tankou lè Moyiz te voye m' al vizite peyi a. Mwen santi mwen ka goumen, mwen ka regle tout zafè m' jan m' te konn fè l' lè sa a.
12 So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.
Se poutèt sa, mwen mande ou pou ou ban mwen mòn Seyè a te pwomèt mwen jou sa a. Ou te rive konnen se yon bann gwonèg bèl wotè yo rele anakim ki t'ap viv la. Yo te gen anpil gwo lavil ki te byen pwoteje ak ranpa. Men, mwen kwè Seyè a pral kanpe avè m'. L'a ede m' pran peyi a nan men yo jan li te di l' la.
13 And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.
Lè sa a, Jozye bay Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, benediksyon, epi li ba li pòsyon tè Ebwon an pou pòsyon pa li.
14 So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Jouk koulye a, Ebwon rete pou Kalèb ak pou moun ras fanmi li yo, paske Kalèb te fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te vle l' fè.
15 In earlier times the name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
Nan tan lontan, yo te rele lavil Ebwon an Kiriyat aba. Aba sa a, se li ki te pi gwonèg nan tout ras moun Anak yo. Depi apre lè sa a, peyi a t'ap viv ak kè poze. Pa t' gen goumen ankò.
