Joshua 17
1 And then came the lot for the tribe of Menasseh; for he was the first-born of Joseph: to wit, for Machir the first-born of Menasseh, the father of Gil'ad; because he was a man of war, therefore he obtained Gil'ad and Bashan.
Manase te premye pitit gason Jozèf. Se konsa yon pòsyon nan tè a vin pou moun fanmi Manase yo. Maki, papa Galarad, te premye pitit gason Manase. Se te yon vanyan sòlda. Se konsa yo te ba li peyi Galarad ak peyi Bazan.
2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Menasseh after their families; for the children of Abi'ezer, and for the children of Chelek, and for the children of Assriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Chepher, and for the children of Shemida': these were the male children of Menasseh the son of Joseph after their families.
Apre sa, yo bay fanmi lòt pitit Manase yo yon pòsyon nan tè a, dapre kantite moun yo te genyen: yon pòsyon pou pitit Abyezè yo, yon pòsyon pou pitit Elèk yo, yon pòsyon pou pitit Asriyèl yo, yon pòsyon pou pitit Sichèm yo, yon pòsyon pou pitit Efè yo, yon lòt pòsyon pou pitit Chemida yo. Se moun sa yo ki te branch fanmi pitit gason Manase, pitit Jozèf la.
3 But Zelophchad, the son of Chepher, the son of Gil'ad, the son of Machir, the son of Menasseh, had no sons, but only daughters, and these are the names of his daughters, Machlah, and No'ah, Choglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Nan branch fanmi Manase a, te gen yon nonm yo te rele Zelochad. Se te pitit gason Efè. Efè sa a te pitit Galarad, Galarad te pitit Maki, Maki te pitit Manase. Zelochad pa t' gen pitit gason menm. Se fi ase li te fè. Men ki jan yo te rele: Mala, Noa, Ogla, Milka ak Tiza.
4 And they came near before Elazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The Lord commanded Moses to give unto us an inheritance among our brethren. And he gave them, according to the order of the Lord, an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Yo vin jwenn Eleaza, prèt la, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak tout chèf yo. Yo di yo konsa: -Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd pou l' te ban nou yon pòsyon nan tè a, tankou tout moun nan fanmi an. Se konsa, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la, yo ba yo yon pòsyon pou yo tankou tout moun nan fanmi papa yo.
5 And there fell ten portions of Menasseh, beside the lands of Gil'ad and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan;
Konsa yo te rive bay moun Manase yo dis pòsyon tè, san konte peyi Galarad ak peyi Bazan ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an,
6 Because the daughters of Menasseh obtained an inheritance among his sons: and the land of Gil'ad belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
paske pitit fi Manase yo te resevwa yon pòsyon apa pou yo tankou pitit gason l' yo. Men, yo te bay peyi Galarad la pou lòt pitit Manase yo.
7 And the boundary of Menasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lieth before Shechem; and the boundary went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of 'En-tappuach.
Men limit tè yo te bay moun Manase yo. Li konmanse bò tè moun Asè yo, li rive lavil Mikmetat, anfas Sichèm, sou bò solèy leve. Li vire desann bò sid nan direksyon Jamen nan peyi moun Antapwak yo.
8 To Menasseh belonged the land of Tappuach; but Tappuach on the borders of Menasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
Tout peyi Tapwak la te pou moun Manase yo. Men, lavil Tapwak ki sou fwontyè a te pou moun Efrayim yo.
9 And the boundary descended unto the brook Kanah, southward of the brook; these cities belonging to Ephraim are in the midst of the cities of Menasseh; and the boundary of Menasseh was on the north side of the river, and its terminations were toward the sea:
Limit la desann nan ravin Kana a, li pase sou bò nò ravin lan epi l' al bout nan lanmè. Tout lavil ki te sou bò sid ravin lan, atout yo te nan mitan tè moun Manase yo, se pou moun Efrayim yo yo te ye.
10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Menasseh's, and the sea was [there] his boundary; and on Asher they touched on the north, and on Issachar on the east.
Moun Efrayim yo te anba sou bò sid, moun Manase yo te anwo sou bò nò, avèk lanmè Mediterane a sou bò solèy kouche. Pòsyon tè yo a te rive sou lizyè tè moun Asè yo sou bò nò ak lizyè tè moun Isaka yo sou bò lès.
11 And to Menasseh belonged in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Yible'am and its towns, together with the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of 'En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Ta'anach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, namely the three districts.
Nan mitan pòsyon tè ki te vin pou moun Isaka yo ak moun Asè yo, yo te bay moun Manase yo lavil Bèt-Chean ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd li yo, moun ki rete lavil Ibleyam, lavil Dò ki bò lanmè a, lavil Andò, lavil Tanak, lavil Megido ak tout ti bouk ki te sou lòd yo.
12 Yet the children of Menasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of these cities; but the Canaanites succeeded to dwell in this land;
Men, moun fanmi Manase yo pa t' kapab mete moun ki t'ap viv nan lavil sa yo deyò. Se konsa moun Kanaran yo te rive rete nan peyi a.
13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were become strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but they did not drive them out.
Men, lè moun Izrayèl yo vin pi fò, yo pa mete yo deyò nan peyi a, yo sèlman fòse yo fè kòve pou yo.
14 And the children of Joseph spoke unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion as an inheritance, seeing I am a numerous people, to which extent the Lord hath hitherto blessed me?
Moun fanmi Jozèf yo di Jozye konsa: -Poukisa se yon sèl pòsyon ou ban nou nan tè a pou rele nou pa nou? Nou anpil wi. Seyè a pa manke beni nou.
15 And Joshua said unto them, If thou art a numerous people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down [a space] for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, if the mountain of Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
Jozye reponn yo: -Si nou anpil, si mòn nan peyi Efrayim yo pa ase pou nou, se pou n' moute nan gwo rakbwa ki nan peyi moun Ferezi yo ak moun refrayim yo, n'a koupe bwa fè plas pou nou.
16 And the children of Joseph said, The mountain will not be enough for us; and chariots of iron are belonging to all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley, to those who are at Beth-shean and its towns, and to those who are in the valley of Yizre'el.
Moun fanmi Jozèf yo di l' ankò: -Mòn lan pa kont pou nou. Lèfini, moun Kanaran ki rete nan plenn yo gen cha an fè pou fè lagè. Moun Kanaran ki rete Bèt Chean ak nan ti bouk ki sou lòd yo, ansanm ak sa ki rete nan plenn Jizreyèl yo gen menm kalite cha a tou.
17 And Joshua said unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Menasseh, as followeth, Thou art a numerous people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only;
Jozye di moun Jozèf yo, ki vle di moun Efrayim yo ak moun Manase yo: -Nou anpil vre. Nou gen anpil fòs. Nou pa ka rete ak yon sèl pòsyon tè.
18 But the mountain shall be thine; it is indeed a wood, yet thou canst cut it down; and the terminations of it shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, though they be strong.
Tout mòn yo ap pou nou. Malgre se yon gwo rakbwa yo ye. N'a koupe bwa yo, epi n'a pran tout zòn lan nèt pou nou. Pou moun Kanaran yo menm, atout nou wè yo gen cha ki fèt an fè, atout yo fò a, rive yon lè, n'a mete yo deyò.
