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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 of Menasseh, beside the lands of Gil'ad and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan;
Pou sa, te vin tonbe dis pòsyon tè a Manassé, anplis, tout tè a Galaad ak Basan ki lòtbò Jourdain 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.
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 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.
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 To Menasseh belonged the land of Tappuach; but Tappuach on the borders of Menasseh 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 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:
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 Menasseh's, and the sea was [there] his boundary; and on Asher they touched on the north, and on 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 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 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 Yet the children of Menasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of these cities; but the Canaanites succeeded to dwell in this 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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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.”
