Jozye 17

1 Manase te premye pitit gason Jozèf. Se konsa yon pòsyon nan tè a vin pou moun fanmi Manase yo. Maki, papa Galarad, te premye pitit gason Manase. Se te yon vanyan sòlda. Se konsa yo te ba li peyi Galarad ak peyi Bazan.

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

2 Apre sa, yo bay fanmi lòt pitit Manase yo yon pòsyon nan tè a, dapre kantite moun yo te genyen: yon pòsyon pou pitit Abyezè yo, yon pòsyon pou pitit Elèk yo, yon pòsyon pou pitit Asriyèl yo, yon pòsyon pou pitit Sichèm yo, yon pòsyon pou pitit Efè yo, yon lòt pòsyon pou pitit Chemida yo. Se moun sa yo ki te branch fanmi pitit gason Manase, pitit Jozèf la.

There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

3 Nan branch fanmi Manase a, te gen yon nonm yo te rele Zelochad. Se te pitit gason Efè. Efè sa a te pitit Galarad, Galarad te pitit Maki, Maki te pitit Manase. Zelochad pa t' gen pitit gason menm. Se fi ase li te fè. Men ki jan yo te rele: Mala, Noa, Ogla, Milka ak Tiza.

But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

4 Yo vin jwenn Eleaza, prèt la, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak tout chèf yo. Yo di yo konsa: -Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd pou l' te ban nou yon pòsyon nan tè a, tankou tout moun nan fanmi an. Se konsa, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la, yo ba yo yon pòsyon pou yo tankou tout moun nan fanmi papa yo.

And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brothers of their father.

5 Konsa yo te rive bay moun Manase yo dis pòsyon tè, san konte peyi Galarad ak peyi Bazan ki lòt bò larivyè Jouden an,

And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

6 paske pitit fi Manase yo te resevwa yon pòsyon apa pou yo tankou pitit gason l' yo. Men, yo te bay peyi Galarad la pou lòt pitit Manase yo.

Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.

7 Men limit tè yo te bay moun Manase yo. Li konmanse bò tè moun Asè yo, li rive lavil Mikmetat, anfas Sichèm, sou bò solèy leve. Li vire desann bò sid nan direksyon Jamen nan peyi moun Antapwak yo.

And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lies before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of Entappuah.

8 Tout peyi Tapwak la te pou moun Manase yo. Men, lavil Tapwak ki sou fwontyè a te pou moun Efrayim yo.

Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;

9 Limit la desann nan ravin Kana a, li pase sou bò nò ravin lan epi l' al bout nan lanmè. Tout lavil ki te sou bò sid ravin lan, atout yo te nan mitan tè moun Manase yo, se pou moun Efrayim yo yo te ye.

And the coast descended to the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

10 Moun Efrayim yo te anba sou bò sid, moun Manase yo te anwo sou bò nò, avèk lanmè Mediterane a sou bò solèy kouche. Pòsyon tè yo a te rive sou lizyè tè moun Asè yo sou bò nò ak lizyè tè moun Isaka yo sou bò lès.

Southward it was Ephraim’s, and northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

11 Nan mitan pòsyon tè ki te vin pou moun Isaka yo ak moun Asè yo, yo te bay moun Manase yo lavil Bèt-Chean ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd li yo, moun ki rete lavil Ibleyam, lavil Dò ki bò lanmè a, lavil Andò, lavil Tanak, lavil Megido ak tout ti bouk ki te sou lòd yo.

And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.

12 Men, moun fanmi Manase yo pa t' kapab mete moun ki t'ap viv nan lavil sa yo deyò. Se konsa moun Kanaran yo te rive rete nan peyi a.

Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

13 Men, lè moun Izrayèl yo vin pi fò, yo pa mete yo deyò nan peyi a, yo sèlman fòse yo fè kòve pou yo.

Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.

14 Moun fanmi Jozèf yo di Jozye konsa: -Poukisa se yon sèl pòsyon ou ban nou nan tè a pou rele nou pa nou? Nou anpil wi. Seyè a pa manke beni nou.

And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, for as much as the LORD has blessed me till now?

15 Jozye reponn yo: -Si nou anpil, si mòn nan peyi Efrayim yo pa ase pou nou, se pou n' moute nan gwo rakbwa ki nan peyi moun Ferezi yo ak moun refrayim yo, n'a koupe bwa fè plas pou nou.

And Joshua answered them, If you be a great people, then get you up to the wood country, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for you.

16 Moun fanmi Jozèf yo di l' ankò: -Mòn lan pa kont pou nou. Lèfini, moun Kanaran ki rete nan plenn yo gen cha an fè pou fè lagè. Moun Kanaran ki rete Bèt Chean ak nan ti bouk ki sou lòd yo, ansanm ak sa ki rete nan plenn Jizreyèl yo gen menm kalite cha a tou.

And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

17 Jozye di moun Jozèf yo, ki vle di moun Efrayim yo ak moun Manase yo: -Nou anpil vre. Nou gen anpil fòs. Nou pa ka rete ak yon sèl pòsyon tè.

And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power: you shall not have one lot only:

18 Tout mòn yo ap pou nou. Malgre se yon gwo rakbwa yo ye. N'a koupe bwa yo, epi n'a pran tout zòn lan nèt pou nou. Pou moun Kanaran yo menm, atout nou wè yo gen cha ki fèt an fè, atout yo fò a, rive yon lè, n'a mete yo deyò.

But the mountain shall be yours; for it is a wood, and you shall cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be yours: for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
