Joshua 14
1 This is what the sons of Israel possessed in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders of the families, by the tribes of Israel, gave 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 dividing all by lot, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes and to the one 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 to the two and one half tribes, Moses had given a possession beyond the Jordan, aside from the Levites, who received no land among their brothers.
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 For by succession, the sons of Joseph, in their place, were divided into two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. But the Levites did not receive another portion of land, except cities in which to live, and their suburbs, so as to feed their beasts of burden and cattle.
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 Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided the land.
Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te separe peyi a jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè l' la.
6 And so, the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb, the son of Jephone, the Kenizzite, spoke to him: “You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea, about me and you.
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, so that I might consider the land. And I reported to him what seemed to me to be true.
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 But my brothers, who had ascended with me, broke the heart of the people. And I nevertheless followed the Lord my God.
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 Moses swore, on that day, saying: ‘The land that your foot has tread upon shall be your possession, and that of your sons, unto eternity. For you have followed the Lord my God.’
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 Therefore, the Lord has granted life to me, just as he promised, even to the present day. It has been forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel was wandering through the wilderness. Today, 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 being just as strong as I was at that time, when I was sent to explore the land. The fortitude in me at that time continues even until today, as much to fight as to march.
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 Therefore, grant to me this mountain, which the Lord has promised in your hearing also, on which are the Anakim, and cities, great and fortified. Perhaps it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to destroy them, just as he promised to me.”
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 blessed him, and he delivered Hebron to him as a possession.
Lè sa a, Jozye bay Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, benediksyon, epi li ba li pòsyon tè Ebwon an pou pòsyon pa li.
14 And from then on, Hebron was for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, even to the present day. For he followed 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 Previously, the name Hebron was called Kiriath-Arba. Adam, the greatest among the Anakim, was laid there. And the land ceased from battles.
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.
