Joshua 13
1 When Joshua was very old, Yahweh said to him, “Joshua, you are now an old man, but there is still a lot of land [for your army] to capture.
Alò Josué te vin vye e avanse nan laj lè SENYÈ a te di li: “Ou vin vye e avanse nan laj e anpil nan tè a rete san posede.
2 Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
“Men tè ki rete yo: tout kote Filisten yo ak tout sila a Gechouryen yo;
3 the area where the Canaan people-group live, from the Shihor River [in the south] at the [eastern] border of Egypt, to Ekron [city] in the north; the rulers of the five [cities] of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; the area where the Avva people-group live,
soti nan Schichor ki nan lès Égypte, jis rive nan fwontyè Ékron ki nan nò (li konte tankou Kananeyen yo); senk prens a Filisten yo: sa Gaza a, sa Asdod la, sa Askalon an, sa Gath la ak sa Ekron an e pa Avyen yo.
4 which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
Nan sid, tout teritwa a Canaan yo ak Meara ki pou Sidonyen yo, soti nan Aphek jis rive nan fwontyè Amoreyen yo;
5 the area where the Gebal people-group live; and all the Lebanon area east of Baal-Gad [city] at the bottom of Hermon Mountain, as far as Lebo-Hamath.
epi teritwa Gibliyen yo avèk tout Liban, vè lès, soti Baal-Gad anba Mòn Hermon jis rive nan Lebo-Hamath.
6 All the people of the Sidon people-group live in the hilly area from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, but I will force them to leave that area before you Israelis arrive there. Be sure to give that area to the Israeli people when you divide the land among them, like I told you to do.
“Tout pèp ki te rete nan peyi ti kolin yo soti Liban jis rive Misrephoth-Maim, tout Sidonyen yo, mwen va pouse yo ale soti devan fis Israël yo. Se sèl a Israël pou bay li kòm eritaj, jan Mwen te kòmande ou a.
7 Divide all that land among the nine Israeli tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh, [the tribes that do not have land on the east side of the Jordan River].”
Koulye a, pou sa, divize tè sa a kòm eritaj a nèf tribi yo avèk mwatye tribi a Manassé a.”
8 Half of the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already been told what land they would receive, because Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had already assigned to them the land on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Avèk lòt mwatye tribi a, Ribenit yo ak Gadit yo te resevwa eritaj pa yo ke Moïse te ba yo lòtbò Jourdain an nan lès, jis jan ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te bay yo a:
9 Their land extended from Aroer [town] at the Arnon River gorge to the town in the middle of the gorge. It included the whole plain from Medeba [town south] to Dibon [town].
soti Aroër ki akote vale Arnon an, avèk vil ki nan mitan vale a ak tout plèn Médeba a, jis rive nan Dibon;
10 All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
epi tout vil a Sihon yo, wa a Amoreyen yo, ki te renye nan Hesbon yo, jis rive nan lizyè fis a Ammon yo;
11 The Gilead area was also there, and the regions where the people of the Geshur and Maacah people-groups lived, and all of Hermon Mountain and all the Bashan region [south] to Salecah.
epi Galaad ak teritwa a Gechouryen yo avèk Maakatyen yo, tout Mòn Hermon an ak tout Basan jis rive Salca;
12 All the land ruled by Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], was in that land. Og was one of the last descendants of Repha; previously he had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities], but [the armies of] Moses had defeated their armies and had taken their land from them.
tout wayòm a Og yo nan Basan ki te renye nan Ashtaroth ak nan Édréï, (se te li sèl ki te rete kòm retay a Rephaïm yo); paske Moïse te frape yo e deplase yo.
13 But the Israelis did not force the people of the Geshur and Maacah [people-groups] to leave their land, so they still live among the Israeli people.
Men fis Israël yo pa t deplase Gechouryen yo ak Maakatyen yo; paske Gueschur avèk Maacath rete pami Israël yo jis jodi a.
14 The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, just like Yahweh promised, they continued to receive [food from] the sacrifices that were given to Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worship], the sacrifices that were burned [on the sacred altar].
Sèlman a tribi Levi a, li pa t bay eritaj. Ofrann pa dife a SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, se eritaj pa yo, jan Li te pale yo a.
15 Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
Epi Moïse te bay a tribi fis a Ruben yo selon fanmi pa yo.
16 Their land extended from Aroer [town] near the Arnon River gorge to Medeba [town]. That included all of the plain [that is near Medeba] and the town in the middle of the gorge.
Teritwa pa yo te soti Aroër ki arebò vale Arnon an, avèk vil nan mitan vale a ak tout plèn akote Médeba a;
17 It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,
Hesbon ak tout vil pa li yo ki nan plèn nan: Dibon avèk Bamoth-Baal ak Beth-Baal-Meon,
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
epi Jahats, Kedémoth, Méphaath,
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,
Kirjathaïm, Sibma, Tséreth-Haschachar sou mòn a vale a,
20 Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.
Beth-Peor, avèk pant a Pisga yo, Beth-Jeschimoth,
21 That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But [the army of] Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.
tout vil nan plèn yo ak tout wayòm a Sihon an, wa Amoreyen an, ki te renye nan Hesbon, ke Moïse te frape ansanm avèk chèf Madian yo, Évi, Rékem, Tsur, Hur, avèk Reba, prens a Sihon yo, ki te rete nan peyi a.
22 The Israeli army killed many people during those battles, including Balaam, [the prophet] from Beor, who tried to use magic to predict/tell what would happen in the future.
Fis Israël yo, osi, te touye avèk nepe, Balaam, fis a Beor a, yon divinò, pami tout lòt ki te mouri nan yo.
23 The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
Lizyè a fis a Ruben yo se te Jourdain an. Sa se te eritaj a fis Ruben yo selon fanmi pa yo, vil ak ti bouk yo.
24 Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
Moïse, osi, te bay tribi Gad la, a fis Gad yo, selon fanmi pa yo.
25 Their land included the Jazer [area] and all the towns of the Gilead [area]; half of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, as far as Aroer [town which is] near Rabbah [town];
Teritwa pa yo se te Jazer, tout vil nan Galaad yo ak mwatye peyi a fis Ammon yo, jis rive nan Aroër ki devan Rabba a,
26 the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;
epi soti Hesbon, jis rive nan Ramath-Mitspé, Bethonim ak soti Mahanaïm jis rive nan lizyè Debir a;
27 Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon [cities] in the valley; and the other area that King Sihon had ruled on the east side of the Jordan River. That area extended [north] to the southern end of Galilee Lake.
epi nan vale a, Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimra, Succoth ak Tsaphon, sila ki rete nan wayòm Sihon an, wa Hesbon an, avèk Jourdain an kòm lizyè li jis rive nan pwent Lamè Kinnéreth la, lòt kote Jourdain an vè lès.
28 All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
Sa se eritaj a fis a Gad yo selon fanmi, vil yo ak bouk pa yo.
29 Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Moïse te, osi, bay yon eritaj a mwatye tribi Manassé a. Li te pou mwatye tribi Manassé a selon fanmi pa yo.
30 Their land extended [north] from Mahanaim [city]. It included all the Bashan region, all the land that King Og had ruled, and all the towns in the Jair area in Bashan. Altogether that area included 60 towns.
Teritwa pa yo te soti nan Mahanaïm, tout Basan, tout wayòm ki pou Og la, wa Basan an ak tout a vil a Jaïr yo ki nan Basan, swasant vil antou.
31 Their area also included half of the Gilead region, and the cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei where King Og had ruled. All that area was allotted to the clans descended from Manasseh’s son Makir.
Anplis, mwatye nan Galaad, avèk Aschtaroth ak Édréï, vil nan wayòm Og yo, nan Basan, te vin pou fis Makir yo, fis a Manassé yo, pou mwatye a fis Makir yo selon fanmi pa yo.
32 Moses had allotted to those tribes the land that was on the plain of the Moab [region], on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.
Sila yo se teritwa ke Moïse te divize kòm eritaj nan ba plèn a Moab yo, lòtbò Jourdain an, vè Jéricho ki nan lès.
33 But Moses did not allot any land to the tribe of Levi because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, promised that he himself would always provide for them.
Men a tribi Levi a, Moïse pa t ba li eritaj. SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, se eritaj pa yo, jan li te pwomèt a yo menm nan.
