Jozye 13
1 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.
Joshua was old and advanced in age, and the Lord said to him: “You have grown old, and are aged, and a very wide land remains, which has not yet been divided by lot,
2 Rete nou tout teritwa moun Filisti yo ak tout peyi moun Jechou yo,
specifically, all of Galilee, Philistia, and all of Geshur;
3 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,
from the muddy river, which irrigates Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron toward the north, the land of Canaan, which is divided among the rulers of Philistia: the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gathites, and the Ekronites;
4 sou bò sid la, tout peyi moun Kanaran yo, depi lavil Meara ki pou moun Sidon yo jouk Afeka, sou fwontyè peyi Amori a.
truly, to the south are the Hivites, all the land of Canaan, and Mearah of the Sidonians, as far as Aphek and the borders of the Amorite
5 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.
and his confines; also, the region of Lebanon toward the east, from Baalgad, under mount Hermon, until you enter into Hamath;
6 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.
all who live in the mountains from Lebanon, as far as the waters of Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am the One who will wipe them out, before the face of the sons of Israel. Therefore, let their land become a part of the inheritance of Israel, just as I have instructed you.
7 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.
And now, divide the land as a possession to the nine tribes, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh.”
8 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.
With them, Reuben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the eastern side:
9 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.
from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon and in the midst of the valley, and all the plains of Medeba, as far as Dibon;
10 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.
and all the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, even to the borders of the sons of Ammon;
11 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.
and Gilead, as well as the borders of Geshur and Maacati, and all of mount Hermon, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah;
12 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.
the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and Edrei, (he was among the last of the Rephaim). And Moses struck and destroyed them.
13 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.
And the sons of Israel were not willing to destroy Geshur and Maacati, and so they have lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day.
14 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.
But to the tribe of Levi, he did not give a possession. Instead, the sacrifices and victims of the Lord, the God of Israel, these are his inheritance, just as he spoke to him.
15 Moyiz te separe tè branch fanmi Woubenn lan, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
Therefore, Moses gave a possession to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to their families.
16 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,
And their border was from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent, with all the flatlands that lead to Medeba;
17 lavil Esbon ak tout lòt lavil ki te sou platon an, ki vle di Dibon, Bamòt, Baal, Bèt-Baal Meyon,
and Heshbon, and all their villages, which are in the plains; also Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmeon,
18 Jaza, Kedemòt, Mefrat,
and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
19 Kiryatayim, Libna ak Zerèt acha Jechimòt, sou ti bit ki nan fon an,
and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the steep valley;
20 Bèt-Peyò, sou pant Pizga a, Bèt ajechimòt,
Bethpeor, and the descending slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;
21 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.
and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down with the leaders of Midian: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the commanders of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.
22 Pami moun moun pèp Izrayèl yo te touye yo, te gen pwofèt yo te rele Balaram, pitit Beyò a.
And the sons of Israel killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the seer, with the sword, along with the others who were slain.
23 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.
And the river Jordan was made the border of the sons of Reuben; this is the possession of the Reubenites, by their families, in cities and villages.
24 Moyiz te separe tè branch fanmi Gad la, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and his sons, by their families, a possession, of which this is the division:
25 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.
the border of Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and one half part of the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer, which is opposite Rabbah;
26 Li te pran depi Esbon jouk Ramat Mizpe ak Betonim, depi Manayim jouk fwontyè peyi Lodeba.
and from Heshbon as far as Ramath, Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim as far as the borders of Debir;
27 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.
also, in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the remaining part of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon; the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the furthest part of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan on the eastern side.
28 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.
This is the possession of the sons of Gad, by their families, in their cities and villages.
29 Moyiz te separe tè ki pou mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
He also gave, to the one half tribe of Manasseh and to his sons, a possession according to their families,
30 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,
the beginning of which is this: from Mahanaim, all of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Og, the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty towns;
31 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.
and one half part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, to the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, to one half part of the sons of Machir, according to their families.
32 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.
Moses divided this possession, in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho on the eastern side.
33 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.
But to the tribe of Levi he did not give a possession. For the Lord, the God of Israel, is himself their possession, just as he spoke to him.
