< Joshua 13 >

1 Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years. YHWH said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
Lè sa a, Jozye t'ap antre nan laj, li te fin granmoun. Seyè a di l' konsa: -Koulye a, ou fin granmoun, ou antre nan laj serye. Men, gen yon bon pòsyon nan peyi a toujou ki rete pou nou pran.
2 This is the land that still remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;
Rete nou tout teritwa moun Filisti yo ak tout peyi moun Jechou yo,
3 from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,
ki vle di depi larivyè Chikò k'ap koule sou fwontyè lès peyi Lejip la, moute nan nò, jouk sou fwontyè Ekwon an. Tout teritwa sa a te pase pou peyi moun Kanaran yo. Te gen senk chèf pami moun Filisti yo: yonn te rete lavil Gaza, yon lòt te rete lavil Asdòd, yon lòt lavil Askalon, yon lòt lavil Gat, yon lòt lavil Ekwon. Te rete peyi moun Avit yo tou,
4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and from Arah that belongs to the Sidonians to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;
sou bò sid la, tout peyi moun Kanaran yo, depi lavil Meara ki pou moun Sidon yo jouk Afeka, sou fwontyè peyi Amori a.
5 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath;
Te rete ankò tè moun Jebal yo ak tout peyi Liban sou bò solèy leve, depi Baal-Gad nan pye mòn Emon jouk kote Pas Amat la konmanse a.
6 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only you allocate it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
Tout moun ki rete nan mòn yo, depi peyi Liban jouk lavil Misrefòt Mayim, tout moun Sidon yo, se mwen menm ki pral mete yo deyò pou fè plas pou pèp Izrayèl la. Men, se ou menm ki pral separe tè a bay chak moun pèp Izrayèl yo pòsyon pa yo, jan mwen te ba ou lòd la.
7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh: from the Jordan as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun, you are to give it; the Great Sea will be the boundary.
Lè a rive koulye a pou nou separe peyi a bay nèf lòt branch fanmi yo ak lòt mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a pòsyon pa yo.
8 But to the two tribes and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, with him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of YHWH gave them:
Branch fanmi Woubenn lan ak branch fanmi Gad la ansanm ak mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a te deja resevwa pòsyon tè pa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden sou solèy leve. Se Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, ki te ba yo li.
9 from Aroer, that is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;
Peyi yo a te soti depi lavil Awoyè ki sou bò gwo ravin Anon an ak lavil ki nan mitan ravin lan, li pran tout plenn Medeba a rive lavil Dibon.
10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the people of Ammon;
Li pran tout lavil ki te pou Siyon, wa moun Amori yo, ki te rete lavil Esbon pandan tout rèy li, li rive jouk sou fwontyè moun Amon yo.
11 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;
Li pran tout peyi Galarad la, tout teritwa moun Jechou yo ak moun Maaka yo ansanm ak tout mòn Emon ak mòn Bachan jouk Salka.
12 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses attacked these, and drove them out.
Nan peyi Bazan an, yo pran tout zòn kote wa Og t'ap gouvènen an. Wa Og sa a te rete lavil Astawòt ak lavil Edreyi lè sa a. Se te dènye moun nan ras refayim yo ki te vivan. Moyiz te goumen ak pèp sa yo, li bat yo byen bat, li pran tout peyi a nan men de wa yo.
13 Nevertheless the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.
Men, pèp Izrayèl la pa t' mete moun Jechou yo ak moun Maaka yo deyò. Se konsa, jouk jòdi a de pèp sa yo ap viv nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la toujou.
14 Only he gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The offerings of YHWH, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.
Sèl branch fanmi Levi a pa t' resevwa ankenn pòsyon tè ki rele l' pa l' nan pataj la, paske Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te kite tou sa yo ofri ba li pou yo, jan li te di l' la.
15 Moses gave to the tribe of the descendants of Reuben according to their families.
Moyiz te separe tè branch fanmi Woubenn lan, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
16 Their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;
Se konsa, pòsyon pa yo a te konmanse depi lavil Awoyè, ki sou bò ravin Anon an, li pran lavil ki nan mitan ravin lan, tout platon Medeba a,
17 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
lavil Esbon ak tout lòt lavil ki te sou platon an, ki vle di Dibon, Bamòt, Baal, Bèt-Baal Meyon,
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
Jaza, Kedemòt, Mefrat,
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar in the mount of the valley,
Kiryatayim, Libna ak Zerèt acha Jechimòt, sou ti bit ki nan fon an,
20 Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,
Bèt-Peyò, sou pant Pizga a, Bèt ajechimòt,
21 all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.
tout lavil ki sou platon an, tout peyi wa Siyon ki t'ap gouvènen moun Amori yo nan lavil Esbon. Se Moyiz ki te kraze l' ansanm avèk chèf peyi Madyan yo: Evi, Rekèm, Zou, Our, Reba. Tout chèf sa yo t'ap viv nan peyi a sou lòd wa Siyon.
22 The children of Israel also killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the soothsayer, with the sword, among the rest of their slain.
Pami moun moun pèp Izrayèl yo te touye yo, te gen pwofèt yo te rele Balaram, pitit Beyò a.
23 The border of the descendants of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the descendants of Reuben according to their families, the cities and its villages.
Pòsyon tè moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo te rive jouk larivyè Jouden. Se tout lavil ak tout ti bouk sa yo yo te bay moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo. Yo te separe bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo, dapre kantite fanmi yo te genyen.
24 Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the descendants of Gad, according to their families.
Moyiz te separe tè branch fanmi Gad la, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
25 Their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the people of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah;
Se konsa, pòsyon pa yo a te pran tout peyi Jazè a, tout lavil ki nan peyi Galarad la, mwatye nan peyi moun Amon yo, rive sou lavil Awoyè sou bò solèy leve lavil Raba.
26 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;
Li te pran depi Esbon jouk Ramat Mizpe ak Betonim, depi Manayim jouk fwontyè peyi Lodeba.
27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan's bank, to the uttermost part of the sea of Kinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.
Nan fon an yo te gen lavil sa yo: Bèt aram, Bèt-Nimra, Soukòt ak Zafon, rès peyi wa Siyon ki te rete Esbon an. Larivyè Jouden te sèvi yo fwontyè rive letan Galile nan nò. Tout pòsyon pa yo a te lòt bò solèy leve.
28 This is the inheritance of the descendants of Gad according to their families, the cities and its villages.
Se tout lavil ak tout ti bouk sa yo yo te bay moun branch fanmi Gad yo. Yo te separe bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo, dapre kantite fanmi yo te genyen.
29 Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was for the half-tribe of the descendants of Manasseh according to their families.
Moyiz te separe tè ki pou mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
30 Their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities.
Se konsa, pòsyon pa yo a te konmanse depi Manayim, li pran tout peyi Bazan an, tout peyi wa Og t'ap gouvènen an, ak swasant bouk ki te pou Jayi nan peyi Bazan an,
31 Half Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the descendants of Makir according to their families.
mwatye nan peyi Galarad la ansanm ak Astawòt ak Edreyi, lavil ki te pou wa Og nan peyi Bazan an. Se tout zòn sa yo ki vin pou mwatye nan branch fanmi Maki, pitit gason Manase a. Yo bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
32 These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.
Se konsa Moyiz te separe tè ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden, anfas lavil Jeriko, sou bò solèy leve, lè li te nan plenn Moab yo.
33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance. YHWH, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
Men, Moyiz pa t' bay moun branch fanmi Levi yo ankenn pòsyon nan peyi a pou rele yo pa yo. Li te di yo sèl byen yo se Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
