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.

And the lot fell to the children of Ioseph from Iorden by Iericho vnto the water of Iericho Eastward, and to the wildernes that goeth vp from Iericho by the mount Beth-el:

2 Li soti Betèl, li moute Louz, li pase Atawòt, kote moun Aki yo te rete.

And goeth out from Beth-el to Luz, and runneth along vnto the borders of Archiataroth,

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.

And goeth down Westward to the coast of Iaphleti, vnto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the endes thereof are at the Sea.

4 Men pòsyon tè ki te vin pou fanmi de pitit Jozèf yo: Manase ak Efrayim.

So the children of Ioseph, Manasseh and Ephraim tooke 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.

Also the borders of the children of Ephraim according to their families, euen the borders of their inheritance on the Eastside were Atroth-addar, vnto Beth-horon the vpper.

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 this border goeth out to the Sea vnto Michmethah on the Northside, and this border returneth Eastward vnto Taanathshiloh, and passeth it on the Eastside vnto Ianohah,

7 Li desann soti Janoa, li pase lavil Atawòt ak Nara, li rive lavil Jeriko, l' al bout sou larivyè Jouden.

And goeth downe from Ianohah to Ataroth, and Naarath, and commeth to Iericho, and goeth out at Iorden.

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,

And this border goeth from Tappuah Westward vnto the riuer Kanah, and the endes thereof are at the Sea: this is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.

9 ansanm ak lavil yo te pran nan mitan ti mòn moun Manase yo pou bay moun Efrayim yo.

And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh: all the cities with their villages.

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.

And they cast not out the Canaanite that dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanite dwelt among the Ephraimites vnto this day, and serued vnder tribute.
