Joshua 21

1 Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;

Chèf fanmi Levi yo vin jwenn Eleaza, prèt la, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak chèf tout lòt branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.

2 And said to them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, The Lord gave orders by Moses that we were to have towns for living in, with their grass-lands for our cattle.

Lè sa a, tout moun sa yo te reyini lavil Silo, nan peyi Kanaran. Chèf fanmi Levi yo di yo: -Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz pou nou. Li te bay lòd pou yo te ban nou lavil pou nou rete ak savann pou bèt nou yo jwenn manje.

3 And the children of Israel out of their heritage gave to the Levites these towns with their grass-lands, by the order of the Lord.

Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo chwazi kèk lavil ak tout savann pou bèt nan pwòp pòsyon tè pa yo, yo bay moun branch fanmi Levi yo, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la.

4 And the heritage came out for the families of the Kohathites: the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

Yo tire osò. Premye moun ki jwenn pa yo se te moun fanmi Keyat yo. Yo pran trèz lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun branch fanmi Jida, branch fanmi Simeyon ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo, yo bay moun Keyat yo. Moun sa yo se ras fanmi Arawon, prèt la, yo ye.

5 The rest of the children of Kohath by their families were given ten towns from the tribes of Ephraim and Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

Apre sa, yo pran dis lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Efrayim, branch fanmi Dann ansanm ak mwatye branch fanmi Manase yo, yo separe bay lòt pitit Keyat yo, chak fanmi pa yo apa.

6 The children of Gershon by their families were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh which was in Bashan.

Lèfini, yo pran trèz lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Isaka, branch fanmi Asè, branch fanmi Neftali ak lòt mwatye branch fanmi Manase a nan peyi Bazan, yo separe bay pitit Gèchon yo, chak fanmi pa yo apa.

7 The children of Merari by their families were given twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun.

Yo pran douz lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Woubenn, branch fanmi Gad ak branch fanmi Zabilon yo, yo separe bay pitit Merari yo, chak fanmi pa yo apa.

8 All these towns with their grass-lands the children of Israel gave by the decision of the Lord to the Levites, as the Lord had given orders by Moses.

Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo te tire osò pou Seyè a te ka fè yo konnen ki lavil ak tout savann pou yo bay moun Levi yo, jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd pou yo fè a.

9 From the tribes of the children of Judah and the children of Simeon they gave these towns, listed here by name:

Men non lavil moun branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Simeyon yo te bay nan pòsyon tè pa yo.

10 These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution.

Lavil sa yo te soti pou moun fanmi Keyat, pitit gason Arawon, nan branch fanmi Levi a. Premye gwoup lavil la te vin pou yo.

11 They gave them Kiriath-arba, the town of Arba, the father of Anak, (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah, with its grass-lands.

Yo te ba yo lavil Kiriyat aba, ki rele koulye a Ebwon, yon lavil ki te nan mòn peyi Jida yo, ansanm ak tout savann pou mouton yo. Se lavil sa a ki te kapital peyi moun Anak yo.

12 But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.

Men, yo pran tout jaden ki te andeyò lavil la ak tout ti bouk ki te sou lòd li yo, yo bay Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, pou rele l' pa l'.

13 And to the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Libnah with its grass-lands;

Men lavil yo te bay moun fanmi Arawon, prèt la: lavil Ebwon, kote moun ki touye moun ka kouri al chache pwoteksyon, ansanm ak tout savann pou bèt li yo,

14 And Jattir with its grass-lands, and Eshtemoa with its grass-lands;

Antou yo te pran trèz lavil ak tout savann pou bèt yo bay prèt yo, moun fanmi Arawon yo.

20 The rest of the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites, were given towns from the tribe of Ephraim.

Lòt moun ki te rete nan fanmi Keyat la, moun Levi ki pa t' ankò jwenn anyen yo, resevwa lavil ki te nan pòsyon tè yo te bay moun branch fanmi Efrayim yo.

21 And they gave them Shechem with its grass-lands in the hill-country of Ephraim, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Gezer with its grass-lands;

Pou moun Levi nan branch fanmi Gèchon yo, yo pran de lavil sou tè ki pou mwatye branch fanmi Manase a, yo ba yo. Se te lavil Golan nan peyi Bazan, yonn nan lavil kote moun ki touye moun ka kouri al chache pwoteksyon, ak lavil Bestra ansanm ak tout savann pou bèt yo.

Seyè a te fè yo gen lapè sou tout fwontyè yo, jan li te pwomèt zansèt yo. Ankenn lènmi pa t' resi kenbe tèt ak yo. Seyè a te lage tout lènmi yo nan men yo.

45 The Lord kept faith with the house of Israel about all the good which he said he would do for them, and all his words came true.

Seyè a te kenbe dènye pwomès li te fè pèp Izrayèl la. Tout bagay te pase jan l' te pwomèt la.
