< Joshua 17 >

1 And the lot is for the tribe of Manasseh (for he [is] firstborn of Joseph), for Machir firstborn of Manasseh, father of Gilead, for he has been a man of war, and his are 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 And there is [a lot] for the sons of Manasseh who are left, for their families; for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida; these [are] the children of Manasseh son of Joseph—the males—by 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 As for Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, he has no children except 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 draw near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, “YHWH commanded Moses to give an inheritance to us in the midst of our brothers”; and he gives to them, at the command of YHWH, an inheritance in the midst of the brothers 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 ten portions fall [to] Manasseh, apart from 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 have inherited an inheritance in the midst of his sons, and the land of Gilead has been for the sons of Manasseh who are left.
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 border of Manasseh is from Asher to Michmethah, which [is] on the front of Shechem, and the border has gone on to the right, to 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 The land of Tappuah has been for Manasseh, and Tappuah to the border of Manasseh for the sons 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 has come down [to] the Brook of Kanah, southward of the brook; these cities of Ephraim [are] in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, and the border of Manasseh [is] on the north of the brook, and its outgoings are 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 [is] for Ephraim and northward for Manasseh, and the sea is his border, and in Asher they meet on the north, and in 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 in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh has Beth-Shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns—three counties.
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 And the sons of Manasseh have not been able to occupy these cities, and the Canaanite is desirous 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 and it comes to pass, when the sons of Israel have been strong, that they put the Canaanite to forced labor, and have not utterly dispossessed him.
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 sons of Joseph speak with Joshua, saying, “Why have you given an inheritance to me—one lot and one portion, and I [am] a numerous people? YHWH has blessed me until now.”
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 says to them, “If you [are] a numerous people, go up to the forest for yourself, then you have created [a place] for yourself there in the land of the Perizzite and of the Rephaim, when Mount Ephraim has been narrow for you.”
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 sons of Joseph say, “The mountain is not enough for us, and a chariot of iron [is] with every Canaanite who is dwelling in the land of the valley—to him who [is] in Beth-Shean and its towns, and to him who [is] in the Valley of Jezreel.”
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 speaks to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You [are] a numerous people, and have great power; you do not have [only] one lot,
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 because the mountain is yours; because it [is] a forest—you have created it, and its outgoings have been yours; because you dispossess the Canaanite, though it has chariots of iron—though it [is] 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.”
