Jozye 16
1 Tè ki te vin pou moun fanmi Jozèf yo te konmanse bò larivyè Jouden, anfas lavil Jeriko, sou bò solèy leve. Li soti la, li moute nan mòn yo jouk li rive Betèl.
The allotment for the descendants of Joseph extended from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, through the wilderness that goes up from Jericho into the hill country of Bethel.
2 Li soti Betèl, li moute Louz, li pase Atawòt, kote moun Aki yo te rete.
It went on from Bethel (that is, Luz) and proceeded to the border of the Archites in Ataroth.
3 Baliz fwontyè a desann apre sa bò solèy kouche, nan direksyon peyi moun Jaflèt yo jouk sou limit Bètowon, li pase rive Gezè, l' al bout nan lanmè.
Then it descended westward to the border of the Japhletites as far as the border of Lower Beth-horon and on to Gezer, and it ended at the Sea.
4 Men pòsyon tè ki te vin pou fanmi de pitit Jozèf yo: Manase ak Efrayim.
So Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph, received their inheritance.
5 Men tè yo te bay branch moun Efrayim yo pou yo separe bay chak fanmi yon pòsyon. Sou bò solèy leve, Atawòt, Adak te sèvi yo fwontyè jouk Bètowon.
This was the territory of the descendants of Ephraim by their clans: The border of their inheritance went from Ataroth-addar in the east to Upper Beth-horon
6 Baliz fwontyè a soti la, l' al bout nan lanmè Mediterane a. Li kite lavil Mikmetat sou bò nò li. Sou bò solèy leve, fwontyè a vire desann bò Taanat-Silo, li pase bò kote l', sou bò lès lavil Janoa.
and out toward the Sea. From Michmethath on the north it turned eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed by it to Janoah on the east.
7 Li desann soti Janoa, li pase lavil Atawòt ak Nara, li rive lavil Jeriko, l' al bout sou larivyè Jouden.
From Janoah it went down to Ataroth and Naarah, and then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
8 Li soti Tapwa, li pran direksyon lwès jouk li rive nan dlo Kana, l' al bout sou lanmè a. Men tout pòsyon tè ki te vin pou branch fanmi Efrayim yo. Yo separe l', yo bay chak fanmi yon pòsyon,
From Tappuah the border went westward to the Brook of Kanah and ended at the Sea. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Ephraim,
9 ansanm ak lavil yo te pran nan mitan ti mòn moun Manase yo pou bay moun Efrayim yo.
along with all the cities and villages set apart for the descendants of Ephraim within the inheritance of Manasseh.
10 Men yo pa t' rive mete moun Kanaran ki te rete lavil Gezè yo deyò. Se konsa, jouk jòdi a moun Kanaran yo ap viv nan mitan moun Efrayim yo. Men, yo te fòse moun Kanaran yo fè kòve pou yo.
But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer. So the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, but they are forced laborers.
