Joshua 21
1 And the leaders of the families of Levi approached Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the rulers of the extended families of each of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
Epi chèf lakay a Levit yo te pwoche Éléazar, prèt la, ak Josué, fis a Nun nan, ak tèt lakay a tribi fis Israël yo.
2 And they spoke to them at Shiloh, in the land of Canaan, and they said, “The Lord instructed, by the hand of Moses, that cities should be given to us as habitations, with their suburbs to nourish our cattle.”
Yo te pale avèk yo Silo, nan peyi Canaan an, e te di: “SENYÈ a te kòmande pa Moïse pou bannou vil pou viv ladann, avèk patiraj pou bèt nou yo.”
3 And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs from their possessions, in accord with the order of the Lord.
Konsa, fis Israël yo te bay Levit yo soti nan eritaj pa yo vil sila yo avèk tè patiraj yo selon kòmand SENYÈ a.
4 And the lot went out for the family of Kohath, of the sons of Aaron, the priest, from the tribes of Judah and Simeon and Benjamin: thirteen cities.
Epi tiraj osò a te sòti pou fanmi a Keatit yo. Epi fis a Aaron yo, prèt la, ki te apatyen a Levit yo, te resevwa trèz vil pa tiraj osò soti nan tribi Juda, nan tribi Siméon, ak nan tribi Benjamin.
5 And to the remainder of the sons of Kohath, that is, to the Levites who were left over, there went, from the tribes of Ephraim and Dan, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
Rès nan fis Keatit yo te resevwa dis vil pa tiraj osò soti nan fanmi a tribi a Éphraïm yo, soti nan tribi a Dan lan ak nan mwatye tribi a Manassé a.
6 And next the lot went out to the sons of Gershon, so that they would receive, from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali, and from the one half tribe of Manasseh at Bashan: the number of thirteen cities.
Fis a Guerschon yo te resevwa trèz vil pa tiraj osò soti nan fanmi a tribi Issacar a, nan tribi Aser a, nan tribi Nephtali a ak nan mwatye tribi Manassé a nan Basan.
7 And to the sons of Merari, by their families, from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun, there went twelve cities.
Fis a Merari yo selon fanmi pa yo te resevwa douz vil soti nan tribi Ruben, soti nan tribi Gad ak soti nan tribi Zabulon.
8 And so the sons of Israel gave cities and their suburbs to the Levites, just as the Lord instructed by the hand of Moses, distributing to each by lot.
Alò fis Israël yo te bay selon tiraj osò a Levit yo, vil sila yo avèk teren patiraj pa yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande pa Moïse la.
9 From the tribes of the sons of Judah and Simeon, Joshua gave cities, whose names are these:
Yo te bay vil sila ki mansyone pa non soti nan tribi a fis Juda yo e soti nan tribi a fis Siméon yo;
10 to the sons of Aaron, of the families of Kohath of the stock of Levi, (for the first lot went out for them, )
epi yo te pou fis Aaron yo, youn nan fanmi a Keatit yo, nan fis Levi yo; paske premye tiraj osò a se te pou yo.
11 the city of Arba, the father of Anak, which is called Hebron, on the mountain of Judah, and its surrounding suburbs.
Konsa, yo te ba yo Kirjath-Arba, Arba ki te papa a Anak (ki vle di Hébron), nan peyi ti kolin yo nan Juda, avèk teren patiraj ki te antoure li yo.
12 Yet truly, the fields and its villages he had given to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as a possession.
Men chan a vil avèk bouk li yo, yo te bay yo a Caleb, fis a Jephunné a, kòm posesyon pa l.
13 Therefore, he gave to the sons of Aaron the priest, Hebron as a city of refuge, as well as its suburbs, and Libnah, with its suburbs,
Konsa, a fis Aaron yo, prèt la, yo te bay Hébron, vil azil pou moun ki touye moun yo, avèk teren patiraj pa li yo ak Libna avèk teren patiraj pa li,
14 and Jattir, and Eshtemoa,
epi Jatthir avèk teren patiraj pa li, Eschthemoa avèk teren patiraj pa li,
15 and Holon, and Debir,
epi Holon avèk teren patiraj pa li, Debir avèk teren patiraj pa li,
16 and Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their suburbs: nine cities from two tribes, just as has been said.
epi Aïn avèk teren patiraj pa li, Jutta avèk teren patiraj pa li, Beth-Schémesch avèk teren patiraj pa li; nèf vil soti nan de tribi sila yo.
17 Then, from the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, he gave Gibeon, and Geba,
Soti nan tribi Benjamin an, Gabaon avèk teren patiraj pa li ak Guéba avèk teren patiraj pa li,
18 and Anathoth, and Almon, with their suburbs: four cities.
Anathoth avèk teren patiraj pa li ak Almon avèk teren patiraj pa li; kat vil.
19 All the cities together of the sons of Aaron, the priest, were thirteen, with their suburbs.
Tout vil a fis Aaron yo, prèt yo, te trèz vil avèk teren patiraj pa yo.
20 Yet truly, the remainder of the families of the sons of Kohath, of the stock of Levi, were given this possession:
Epi vil yo soti nan tribi Éphraïm nan te sòt tonbe pou fanmi a Kehath yo, Levit yo, jis rive nan lòt fis a Kehath yo.
21 from the tribe of Ephraim, Shechem, one of the cities of refuge, with its suburbs, on mount Ephraim, and Gezer,
Yo te bay yo Sichem, vil azil pou moun ki touye moun yo, avèk teren patiraj pa li, nan peyi ti kolin yo a Éphraïm ak Guézer avèk teren patiraj pa li,
22 and Kibzaim, and Beth-horon, with their suburbs, four cities;
epi Kibtsaïm avèk teren patiraj pa li, Beth-Horon avèk teren patiraj pa li, Guibbethon avèk teren patiraj pa li; kat vil.

Soti nan mwatye tribi Mannassé a, Thaanac avèk teren patiraj pa li ak Gath-Rimmon avèk teren patiraj pa li; de vil.
26 All the cities were ten, with their suburbs; these were given to the sons of Kohath, of the lesser degree.
Tout vil yo avèk teren patiraj pa yo pou fanmi a lòt fis a Kehath yo te dis.
27 Likewise, to the sons of Gershon, of the stock of Levi, from the one half tribe of Manasseh, went Golan in Bashan, one of the cities of refuge, and Bosra, with their suburbs, two cities;
A fis Guerschon yo, youn nan fanmi a Levit yo soti nan mwatye tribi Manassé a, te tonbe Golan nan Basan, vil azil pou moun ki touye moun yo, avèk teren patiraj pa li ak Beeschthra avèk teren patiraj pa li; de vil.
28 also, from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion, and Daberath,
Soti nan tribi Issacar, Kischjon avèk teren patiraj pa li, Dabrath avèk patiraj pa li,
29 and Jarmuth, and Engannim, with their suburbs, four cities;
Jarmuth avèk patiraj pa li, En-Gannim avèk patiraj pa li; kat vil.
30 then, from the tribe of Asher, Mishal and Abdon,
Soti nan tribi Aser, Mischal avèk teren patiraj pa li ak Abdon avèk teren patiraj pa li,
31 and Helkath and Rehob, with their suburbs, four cities;
Helkath avèk teren patiraj pa li ak Rehob avèk patiraj pa li; kat vil.
32 likewise, from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee, one of the cities of refuge, and Hammoth-Dor, and Kartan, with their suburbs, three cities.
Soti nan tribi Nephtali, Kédesch nan Galilée, vil azil pou moun ki touye moun yo, avèk patiraj pa li ak Hammoth-Dor avèk patiraj pa li; twa vil.
33 All the cities of the families of Gershon were thirteen, with their suburbs.
Tout vil a Gèchonit yo, selon fanmi pa yo te trèz vil avèk teren patiraj pa yo.
34 Then, to the sons of Merari, Levites of the lesser degree, by their families, were given, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and Kartah,
A fanmi a fis Merari yo, rès nan Levit yo, soti nan tribi Zabulon, Jokneam avèk patiraj pa li ak Kartha avèk patiraj pa li.
35 and Dimnah and Nahalal, four cities with their suburbs;
Dimna avèk patiraj pa li, Nahalal avèk patiraj pa li, kat vil.
36 from the tribe of Reuben, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho, Bezer in the wilderness, one of the cities of refuge, Misor and Jazer, and Jethson and Mephaath, four cities with their suburbs;
Soti nan tribi Ruben an, Betser avèk patiraj pa li ak Jahtsa avèk patiraj pa li,
37 from the tribe of Gad, Ramoth of Gilead, one of the cities of refuge, and Mahanaim and Heshbon and Jazer, four cities with their suburbs.
Kedémonth avèk teren patiraj pa li ak Méphaath avèk teren patiraj pa li; kat vil.
Soti nan tribi Gad la, Ramoth nan Galaad, vil azil la ak Mahanaïm avèk teren patiraj pa li,
Hesbon, avèk teren patiraj pa li, Jaezer avèk teren patiraj pa li; kat vil antou.
40 All the cities of the sons of Merari, by their families and extended families, were twelve.
Tout sila yo te vil a fis Merari yo selon fanmi pa yo, rès a fanmi a Levit yo. Tiraj osò pa yo a te douz vil.
41 And so all the cities of the Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were forty-eight,
Tout vil a Levit ki te nan mitan posesyon a fis Israël yo te karann-tuit vil avèk teren patiraj pa yo.
42 with their suburbs, each distributed by families.
Chak nan vil sila yo te gen teren patiraj pa li ki te antoure li. Se konsa li te ye avèk tout vil sila yo.
43 And the Lord God gave to Israel all the land that he had sworn he would deliver to their fathers. And they possessed it, and they lived in it.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te bay Israël tout peyi ke Li te sèmante pou bay a zansèt pa yo, e yo te posede li pou viv ladann.
44 And he gave them peace with all the surrounding nations. And none of their enemies dared to stand against them; instead, they were brought under their sovereignty.
Epi SENYÈ a te ba yo repo toupatou, selon tout sa ke Li te sèmante a zansèt pa yo e nanpwen youn nan lènmi yo ki te kanpe devan yo. SENYÈ a te mete tout lènmi yo nan men yo.
45 Indeed, not so much as one word that he had promised to provide for them was left empty; instead, everything was fulfilled.
Pa menm youn nan bon pwomès ke SENYÈ a te fè kay Israël la pa t manke akonpli. Yo tout te vin rive.
