< Joshua 17 >

1 And the lot came to the tribe of Manasseh (for he was the firstborn of Joseph), to Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, for he was a man of war, and he had Gilead and Bashan.
Alò, sa se tiraj osò a pou Manassé, paske li te premye ne a Joseph. Pou Makir, premye ne a Manassé a, papa a Galaad ak Basan, paske li te yon nonm lagè.
2 There was also [a portion] for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these are the children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the males, according to their families.
Epi tiraj osò a te fèt pou lòt fis Manassé yo selon fanmi pa yo: pou fis a Abiézer a, pou fis a Hélek la, pou fis a Asriel yo, e fis a Sichem yo, pou fis a Hépher yo ak pou fis a Schemida yo; sa yo se te desandan mesye a Manassé yo, fis a Joseph la selon fanmi pa yo.
3 And Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Men Tselophchad, fis a Hépher a, fis a Galaad la, fis a Makir a, fis a Manassé a, pa t gen fis, men sèlman fi. Sila yo se non a fi li yo: Machla, Noa, Hogla, Milca ak Thirtsa.
4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Jehovah commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. And he gave them according to the commandment of Jehovah an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Yo te vin pwoche Éléazar, prèt la, ak devan Josué, fis a Nun nan, ak devan chèf yo, e yo te di: “SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse pou bannou yon eritaj pami frè nou yo.” Konsa, selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, li te ba yo yon eritaj pami frè a papa pa yo.
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which are beyond the Jordan.
Pou sa, te vin tonbe dis pòsyon tè a Manassé, anplis, tout tè a Galaad ak Basan ki lòtbò Jourdain an,
6 For the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
akoz fi a Manassé yo te resevwa yon eritaj pami fis li yo. Epi tè Galaad la te apatyen a lòt fis Manassé yo.
7 And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Micmethath, which is before Shechem, and the border went on the right hand toward the inhabitants of En-Tappuah.
Lizyè Manassé a te kouri soti Aser a Micmethath, ki nan lès a Sichem. Epi lizyè a te kouri vè sid pou rive kote pèp En-Tappuach yo.
8 Manasseh had the land of Tappuah; but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
Tè Tappuach la te apatyen a Manassé; men Tappuach nan lizyè Manassé a te pou fis a Éphraïm yo.
9 And the border descended to the torrent Kanah, south of the torrent. These cities were Ephraim's among the cities of Manasseh. And the territory of Manasseh was on the north side of the torrent, and ended at the sea.
Lizyè a te kouri desann rive nan ti rivyè Kana a, bò kote sid a rivyè a (vil sa yo se te pou Éphraïm pami vil a Manassé yo). Epi lizyè a Manassé a te nan kote nò a ti rivyè a e li te fè bout li nan lanmè.
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was his border. And they touched upon Asher on the north, and upon Issachar on the east.
Kote sid la se te pou Éphraïm e kote nò a se te pou Manassé, lanmè a te lòt lizyè a. Yo te rive vè Aser nan nò e vè Issacar nan lès.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and Ibleam and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its dependent villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its dependent villages, the three hilly regions.
Nan Issacar ak nan Aser, Manassé te gen Beth-Schean avèk bouk li yo, Jibleam avèk bouk li yo, pèp a Dor yo avèk bouk li yo, pèp a En-Dor yo avèk bouk li yo, pèp a Thaanac yo avèk bouk li yo, pèp a Meguiddo yo avèk bouk li yo e twazyèm nan se Napheth.
12 But the children of Manasseh could not dispossess [the inhabitants of] those cities; and the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Men fis Manassé yo pa t kab pran posesyon a vil sa yo akoz Kananeyen yo te pèsiste viv nan peyi sa a.
13 And it came to pass when the children of Israel were become strong, that they made the Canaanites tributary; but they did not utterly dispossess them.
Li te rive ke lè fis Israël yo te vin gen fòs, yo te mete Kananeyen yo nan travo fòse; men yo pa t chase yo deyò nèt.
14 And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me as inheritance one lot and one portion, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as Jehovah has blessed me hitherto?
Alò, fis Joseph yo te pale avèk Josué e te di: “Poukisa mwen te resevwa yon sèl tiraj osò ak yon sèl pòsyon kòm eritaj, paske nou menm se yon pèp ki anpil ke jis koulye a SENYÈ a te beni anpil?”
15 And Joshua said unto them, If thou art a great people, then get thee up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
Josué te di yo: “Si nou se yon pèp ki anpil, ale monte nan forè a pou netwaye yon plas pou nou la nan peyi Ferezyen avèk Rephaïm yo; akoz peyi ti kolin Éphraïm nan twò etwat pou nou.”
16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country will not be enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, those that are of Beth-shean and its dependent villages, and those that are in the valley of Jizreel.
Epi fis Joseph yo te reponn: “Peyi ti kolin nan pa kont pou nou e tout Kananeyen yo ki rete nan plèn nan gen cha ki fèt an fè, ni sila ki nan Beth-Schean avèk bouk pa li yo ak sila ki nan vale Jizreel la.”
17 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only,
Josué te pale avèk lakay Joseph, a Éphraïm avèk Manassé e te di: “Nou se yon pèp ki anpil e ki gen gran pouvwa. Nou p ap gen yon sèl tiraj osò,
18 but the hill-country shall be thine, as it is a wood, thou shalt cut it down, and its outgoings shall be thine; for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots; for they are powerful.
men peyi ti kolin yo va vin pou nou. Men se yon forè ke li ye, nou va eklèsi li e lizyè ki pi lwen nan li yo va vin pou nou; paske nou va chase met deyò Kananeyen yo, malgre yo gen cha ki fèt an fè e malgre yo gen fòs.”
