Joshua 18
1 And all the children of Israel assembled together in Silo, and there they set up the tabernacle of the testimony, and the land was subdued before them.
Alò, fis Israël yo te vin rasanble yo menm nan Silo e te monte tant asanble a. Peyi a te vin soumèt devan yo.
2 But there remained seven tribes of the children of Israel, which as yet had not received their possessions.
Te rete pami fis Israël yo sèt tribi ki potko divize eritaj yo.
3 And Josue said to them: How long are you indolent and slack, and go not in to possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given you?
Konsa, Josué te di a fis Israël yo: “Konbyen de tan nou va mete ankò pou nou pa antre pran posesyon peyi a ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te bannou an?
4 Choose of every tribe three men, that I may send them, and they may go and compass the land, and mark it out according to the number of each multitude: and bring back to me what they have marked out.
Bay a tèt nou twa mesye ki sòti nan chak tribi, pou m kapab voye yo e pou yo kab mache nan peyi a, pou ekri yon plan detaye a yo menm selon pwòp eritaj pa yo; epi yo va retounen bò kote mwen.
5 Divide to yourselves the land into seven parts: let Juda be in his bounds on the south side, and the house of Joseph on the north.
Yo va divize li an sèt pòsyon; Juda va rete nan teritwa pa li nan sid e lakay Joseph la va rete nan teritwa pa yo nan nò.
6 The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God.
Nou va fè apantaj peyi a an sèt pòsyon e mennen li ban mwen. Mwen va tire yo osò pou nou isit la devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
7 For the Levites have no part among you, but the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasses have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan eastward: which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.
Paske Levit yo pa gen pòsyon pami nou, akoz pozisyon prèt SENYÈ a se eritaj pa yo. Gad avèk Ruben avèk mwatye tribi Manassé a, osi, te resevwa eritaj vè lès, lòtbò Jourdain an, ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te ba yo.”
8 And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them, saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo.
Konsa, mesye yo te leve ale. Josué te kòmande sila ki te ale yo: “Ale mache nan teren an, e founi yon plan apantaj detaye de li e retounen kote mwen. Alò, mwen va tire li osò pou nou soti isit la nan Silo.”
9 So they went: and surveying it divided it into seven parts, writing them down in a book. And they returned to Josue, to the camp in Silo.
Konsa, mesye yo te sòti e te pase nan peyi a, yo te fè plan apantaj detaye a. Yo te ekri yon deskripsyon selon vil li yo, sèt divizyon yo nan yon liv. Konsa, yo te retounen vè Josué nan kan an Silo.
10 And he cast lots before the Lord in Silo, and divided the land to the children of Israel into seven parts.
Epi Josué te tire yo osò pou yo nan Silo devan SENYÈ a e la, Josué te divize peyi a pou fis Israël yo selon divizyon pa yo.
11 And first came up the lot of the children of Benjamin by their families, to possess the land between the children of Juda, and the children of Joseph.
Alò, tiraj osò a pou tribi Benjamin an te monte selon fanmi pa yo e teritwa osò pa yo a te poze antre fis a Juda yo ak fis a Joseph yo.
12 And their border northward was from the Jordan: going along by the side of Jericho on the north side, and thence going up westward to the mountains, and reaching to the wilderness of Bethaven,
Lizyè pa yo nan kote nò a te soti nan Jourdain an, lizyè a te monte bò kote Jéricho nan nò, li te pase nan peyi ti kolin yo vè lwès e li te fè bout li nan dezè a Beth-Aven an.
13 And passing along southward by Luza, the same is Bethel: and it goeth down into Ataroth-addar to the mountain, that is on the south of the nether Beth-horon.
Soti la, lizyè a te kouri vè Luz nan kote sid a Luz (ki se Béthel) vè sid; epi lizyè a te desann vè Athroth-Addar, toupre ti mòn ki sou kote sid a Ba Beth-Horon an.
14 And it bendeth thence going round towards the sea, south of the mountain that looketh towards Beth-horon to the southwest: and the outgoings thereof are into Cariathbaal, which is called also Cariathiarim, a city of the children of Juda. This is their coast towards the sea, westward.
Lizyè a te lonje rive e te vire won sou kote lwès la vè sid; soti nan ti mòn ki parèt devan Beth-Horon vè sid; epi li te fè bout li nan Kirjath-Baal (sa vle di Kirjath-Jearim), yon vil a fis a Juda yo. Sa se te kote lwès la.
15 But on the south side the border goeth out from part of Cariathiarim towards the sea, and cometh to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoa.
Epi kote sid la te soti akote a Kirjath-Jearim e lizyè a te ale vè lwès pou te rive nan fontèn dlo Nephthoach yo.
16 And it goeth down to that part of the mountain that looketh on the valley of the children of Ennom: and is over against the north quarter in the furthermost part of the valley of Raphaim, and it goeth down into Geennom (that is the valley of Ennom) by the side of the Jebusite to the south: and cometh to the fountain of Rogel,
Lizyè a te kouri desann rive akote ti mòn ki nan vale Ben-Hinnom, ki nan vale Rephaïm nan vè nò. Epi li te ale desann a vale Hinnom an, nan pant Jebizyen vè sid e te desann jis nan En-Roguel.
17 Passing thence to the north, and going out to Ensemes, that is to say, the fountain of the sue:
Li te lonje vè nò e te rive nan En-Schémesch ak nan Gueliloth, ki anfas pant Adummim nan. Epi li te desann nan wòch Bohan an, fis a Ruben an.
18 And it passeth along to the hills that are over against the ascent of Adommim: and it goeth down to Abenboen, that is, the stone of Been the son of Ruben: and it passeth on the north side to the champaign countries; and goeth down into the plain,
Li te kontinye akote pa devan Araba a vè nò e te desann rive nan Araba.
19 And it passeth by Bethhagla northward: and the outgoings thereof are towards the north of the most salt sea at the south end of the Jordan:
Lizyè a te kontinye vè akote Beth-Hogla vè nò; epi lizyè a te fè bout li nan dlo nò a Lamè Sale a, nan pwent sid a Rivyè Jourdain an. Sa se te lizyè sid la.
20 Which is the border of it on the east side. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their borders round about, and their families.
Anplis, Jourdain an te lizyè li nan kote lès. Sa se te eritaj a fis Benjamin yo, selon fanmi pa yo ak selon lizyè li yo toupatou.
21 And their cities were, Jericho and Bethhagla and Vale-Casis,
Alò, vil pou tribi a fis Benjamin yo selon fanmi pa yo se te Jéricho, Beth-Hogla, Émek-Ketsits,
22 Betharaba and Samaraim and Bethel,
Beth-Araba, Tsemaraïm, Béthel,
23 And Avim and Aphara and Ophera,
Avvim, Para, Ophra,
24 The town Emona and Ophni and Gabee: twelve cities, and their villages.
Kephar-Ammonaï, Ophni, epi Guéba; douz vil yo, avèk bouk pa yo.
25 Gabam and Rama and Beroth,
Gabaon, Rama, Beéroth,
26 And Mesphe, and Caphara, and Amosa,
Mitspé, Kephira, Motsa,
27 And Recem, Jarephel and Tharela,
Rékem, Jirpeel, Thareala,
28 And Sela, Eleph and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gabaath and Cariath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their families.
Tséla, Éleph, Jebus, ki se Jérusalem, Guibeath ak Kirjath; Sa se eritaj a fis Benjamin yo selon fanmi pa yo.
