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.
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.
2 Rete nou tout teritwa moun Filisti yo ak tout peyi moun Jechou yo,
Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
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,
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,
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.
which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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].”
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.
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].
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.
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].
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.
All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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].
15 Moyiz te separe tè branch fanmi Woubenn lan, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
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,
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.
17 lavil Esbon ak tout lòt lavil ki te sou platon an, ki vle di Dibon, Bamòt, Baal, Bèt-Baal Meyon,
It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,
18 Jaza, Kedemòt, Mefrat,
Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19 Kiryatayim, Libna ak Zerèt acha Jechimòt, sou ti bit ki nan fon an,
Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,
20 Bèt-Peyò, sou pant Pizga a, Bèt ajechimòt,
Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, 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.
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.
22 Pami moun moun pèp Izrayèl yo te touye yo, te gen pwofèt yo te rele Balaram, pitit Beyò a.
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.
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.
The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
24 Moyiz te separe tè branch fanmi Gad la, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
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.
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];
26 Li te pran depi Esbon jouk Ramat Mizpe ak Betonim, depi Manayim jouk fwontyè peyi Lodeba.
the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;
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.
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.
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.
All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
29 Moyiz te separe tè ki pou mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a, li bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
