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 of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,
2 Li soti Betèl, li moute Louz, li pase Atawòt, kote moun Aki yo te rete.
And goes out from Bethel to Luz, and passes along to the borders of Archi to 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.
And goes down westward to the coast of Japhleti, to the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings out 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 Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took 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.
And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, to Bethhoron the upper;
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 the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
7 Li desann soti Janoa, li pase lavil Atawòt ak Nara, li rive lavil Jeriko, l' al bout sou larivyè Jouden.
And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at 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,
The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were 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 drove not out the Canaanites that dwelled in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.
