< Jozye 14 >

1 Men tè yo te separe bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Se Eleaza, prèt la, ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ansanm ak tout chèf fanmi nan tout branch pèp Izrayèl yo ki te bay chak fanmi pòsyon pa yo.
And this is what the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, allotted for inheritance to them:
2 Jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la, yo te tire osò devan Seyè a pou yo te ka konnen ki pòsyon ki tapral pou nèf branch fanmi ki te rete yo ak lòt mwatye branch nan fanmi Manase a.
their inheritance was by lot, as Jehovah had commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and the half tribe.
3 Moyiz te gen tan bay de branch fanmi ak mwatye nan yon twazyèm branch fanmi pòsyon pa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden. Men, li pa t' bay moun fanmi Levi yo ankenn pòsyon nan tè sa yo.
For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half tribe beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.
4 Fanmi Jozèf la te fè de branch: yonn pou Manase, yonn pou Efrayim. Moun Levi yo pa t' resevwa ankenn pòsyon nan tè a pou yo. Men yo te ba yo kèk lavil pou yo te rete ak savann toupre lavil yo pou yo gade bèt ak zannimo.
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave no part to the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
5 Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo te separe peyi a jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè l' la.
As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
6 Moun branch fanmi Jida yo al jwenn Jozye nan kan Gilgal la. Kalèb pitit gason Jefoune, nan fanmi Kenaz la, di li: -Ou konnen sa Seyè a te di Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, sou ou ak sou mwen lè li te lavil Kadès-Banea.
Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, Thou knowest the word that Jehovah spoke to Moses the man of God, concerning me and thee, in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Mwen te gen karantan lè Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, rete lavil Kadès-Banea, li voye m' al vizite tout peyi sa a. Lè m' tounen, mwen fè l' yon bon rapò dapre sa m' te wè.
Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to search out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
8 Moun ki te moute avè m' yo pran dekouraje pèp la. Men mwen menm, mwen te fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, te vle m' fè.
And my brethren that had gone up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.
9 Lè sa a, Moyiz fè m' pwomès sa a, li di m': Ou wè ou menm, ou fè tou sa Seyè a te vle ou fè. Se poutèt sa y'a ba ou tout kote ou mete pye ou yo pou ou ak pou tout ras ou apre ou.
And Moses swore on that day, saying, The land whereon thy feet have trodden shall assuredly be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever! for thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God.
10 Gade! Seyè a kenbe pwomès li, li pa kite m' gen tan mouri. Sa te fè deja karannsenkan depi Seyè a te di Moyiz sa. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la t'ap moute desann nan dezè a. Koulye a mwen gen katrevensenkan.
And now behold, Jehovah has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years, since Jehovah spoke this word to Moses, when Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now behold, I am this day eighty-five years old.
11 Men, mwen santi m' vanyan gason jòdi a tankou lè Moyiz te voye m' al vizite peyi a. Mwen santi mwen ka goumen, mwen ka regle tout zafè m' jan m' te konn fè l' lè sa a.
I am still this day strong, as in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out and to come in.
12 Se poutèt sa, mwen mande ou pou ou ban mwen mòn Seyè a te pwomèt mwen jou sa a. Ou te rive konnen se yon bann gwonèg bèl wotè yo rele anakim ki t'ap viv la. Yo te gen anpil gwo lavil ki te byen pwoteje ak ranpa. Men, mwen kwè Seyè a pral kanpe avè m'. L'a ede m' pran peyi a nan men yo jan li te di l' la.
And now give me this mountain, of which Jehovah spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day that Anakim are there, and great fortified cities. If so be Jehovah shall be with me, then I shall dispossess them, as Jehovah said.
13 Lè sa a, Jozye bay Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, benediksyon, epi li ba li pòsyon tè Ebwon an pou pòsyon pa li.
And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
14 Jouk koulye a, Ebwon rete pou Kalèb ak pou moun ras fanmi li yo, paske Kalèb te fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te vle l' fè.
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed Jehovah the God of Israel.
15 Nan tan lontan, yo te rele lavil Ebwon an Kiriyat aba. Aba sa a, se li ki te pi gwonèg nan tout ras moun Anak yo. Depi apre lè sa a, peyi a t'ap viv ak kè poze. Pa t' gen goumen ankò.
Now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; the great man among the Anakim. And the land rested from war.
