Jozye 18
1 Lè yo fin soumèt tout peyi a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo reyini lavil Silo kote yo te kanpe Tant Randevou a. Tout peyi a te pou yo.
And all the children of Israel assembled together in Silo, and there they set up the tabernacle of the testimony, and the land was subdued before them.
2 Men, te gen sèt branch fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pa t' ankò resevwa pòsyon pa yo nan tè a.
But there remained seven tribes of the children of Israel, which as yet had not received their possessions.
3 Lè sa a, Jozye di yo: -Kisa n'ap tann pou n' al pran peyi Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, ban nou an?
And Josue said to them: How long are you indolent and slack, and go not in to possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given you?
4 Chak branch fanmi pral chwazi twa gason ban mwen. M'a voye yo al mache toupatou nan peyi a. Y'a make pòsyon yo ta renmen gen pou yo. Apre sa, y'a tounen vin jwenn mwen.
Choose of every tribe three men, that I may send them, and they may go and compass the land, and mark it out according to the number of each multitude: and bring back to me what they have marked out.
5 Y'a separe rès peyi a an sèt pòsyon. Moun branch fanmi Jida yo va rete sou tè pa yo nan sid, epi moun branch fanmi Jozèf yo va rete sou pòsyon tè pa yo tou nan nò.
Divide to yourselves the land into seven parts: let Juda be in his bounds on the south side, and the house of Joseph on the north.
6 N'a make sou papye jan nou ta renmen separe rès peyi a an sèt pòsyon. N'a pote papye a ban mwen isit la. Apre sa, m'a vin tire osò pou nou devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God.
7 Moun Levi yo menm p'ap resevwa ankenn pòsyon nan tè a tankou lòt branch fanmi yo, paske tou sa y'a gen pou yo fè se sèvi pou yo sèvi prèt pou Seyè a. Pou moun branch fanmi Gad yo, moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo ak mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a, yo gen tan resevwa pòsyon pa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden, sou bò solèy leve, jan Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye, te ba yo l' la.
For the Levites have no part among you, but the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasses have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan eastward: which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.
8 Se konsa mesye yo al vizite tout peyi a pou yo ka make sou papye jan peyi a ye. Anvan sa, Jozye te bay mesye yo lòd sa a: -Ale mache nan tout peyi a. Make jan nou wè l'. Apre sa, tounen vin jwenn mwen. M'a moute Silo pou m' ka tire osò pou nou, pou m' ka konnen volonte Seyè a.
And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them, saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo.
9 Mesye yo pati, yo mache nan tout peyi a. Yo make sou papye tout lavil yo jwenn. Yo separe yo fè sèt pòsyon ak non tout lavil yo, epi yo pote l' bay Jozye nan kan Silo a.
So they went: and surveying it divided it into seven parts, writing them down in a book. And they returned to Josue, to the camp in Silo.
10 Lè sa a, Jozye tire osò pou yo devan Seyè a nan Silo. Se la li separe peyi a bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li bay chak moun pòsyon ki vin pou yo.
And he cast lots before the Lord in Silo, and divided the land to the children of Israel into seven parts.
11 Moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te jwenn pòsyon tè ki nan mitan an, pòsyon tè moun Jida yo yon bò ak pòsyon tè moun Jozèf yo yon lòt bò.
And first came up the lot of the children of Benjamin by their families, to possess the land between the children of Juda, and the children of Joseph.
12 Sou bò nò, lizyè yo a te konmanse larivyè Jouden, li moute flan nò mòn Jeriko a, li rale moute sou mòn yo nan direksyon solèy kouche, jouk li rive nan dezè Bèt avenn lan.
And their border northward was from the Jordan: going along by the side of Jericho on the north side, and thence going up westward to the mountains, and reaching to the wilderness of Bethaven,
13 Apre sa, li pase lavil Louz, sou bò sid bit Louz la kote yo rele jouk jòdi a Betèl. Li desann Atawòt ada, sou mòn ki sou bò sid lavil Bètowon an.
And passing along southward by Luza, the same is Bethel: and it goeth down into Ataroth-addar to the mountain, that is on the south of the nether Beth-horon.
14 Lizyè a fè yon koub, li vire kite direksyon lwès, li pran direksyon sid, depi sou mòn ki anfas Bètowon an sou bò sid, jouk li rive lavil Kiriyat-Baal yo rele Kiriyat-Jearim jòdi a, ki te pou moun Jida yo. Se sa ki te limit pòsyon pa moun Benjamen yo sou bò solèy kouche.
And it bendeth thence going round towards the sea, south of the mountain that looketh towards Beth-horon to the southwest: and the outgoings thereof are into Cariathbaal, which is called also Cariathiarim, a city of the children of Juda. This is their coast towards the sea, westward.
15 Men limit yo sou bò sid: li pati depi nan Kalfou Kiriyat-Jearim lan, li moute bò Gachen, li pran direksyon lwès, li parèt bò sous dlo Neftoa yo.
But on the south side the border goeth out from part of Cariathiarim towards the sea, and cometh to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoa.
16 Apre sa, li rive jouk bò mòn ki anfas fon Pitit Ennon an, ki sou bò nò plenn Refayim yo. Li pran pant mòn moun Jebis yo desann nan fon Ennon an, l' al bout sou Anwogèl.
And it goeth down to that part of the mountain that looketh on the valley of the children of Ennom: and is over against the north quarter in the furthermost part of the valley of Raphaim, and it goeth down into Geennom (that is the valley of Ennom) by the side of the Jebusite to the south: and cometh to the fountain of Rogel,
17 Apre sa, li fè yon koub li vire sou nan nò, li pase Anchemèch. Apre sa, li rive Gelilòt anfas pas Adoumim. Li desann bò Wòch Boan. Boan sa a te pitit Woubenn.
Passing thence to the north, and going out to Ensemes, that is to say, the fountain of the sue:
18 Apre sa, li pase sou flan nò mòn Neta araba, li desann nan fon Jouden an.
And it passeth along to the hills that are over against the ascent of Adommim: and it goeth down to Abenboen, that is, the stone of Been the son of Ruben: and it passeth on the north side to the champaign countries; and goeth down into the plain,
19 Li rive sou flan nò mòn Bèt-Ogla. L' al bout nan pwent nò lanmè Mouri a, nan bout sid larivyè Jouden an. Se sa ki te limit sid yo.
And it passeth by Bethhagla northward: and the outgoings thereof are towards the north of the most salt sea at the south end of the Jordan:
20 Sou bò solèy leve, larivyè Jouden an te sèvi yo baliz. Men limit pòsyon tè yo te bay moun Benjamen yo pou yo separe bay chak fanmi pa yo.
Which is the border of it on the east side. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their borders round about, and their families.
21 Men non lavil ki te pou fanmi moun Benjamen yo. Se te Jeriko, Bèt-Ogla, Emèkkesis,
And their cities were, Jericho and Bethhagla and Vale-Casis,
22 Bèt arara, Semarayim, Betèl,
Betharaba and Samaraim and Bethel,
23 Avim, Para, Ofra,
And Avim and Aphara and Ophera,
24 Kefa amoni, Ofni, Geba. Sa te fè antou douz lavil ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd yo.
The town Emona and Ophni and Gabee: twelve cities, and their villages.
25 Te gen tou Gabawon, Rama, Beewòt,
Gabam and Rama and Beroth,
26 Mizpe, Kefira, Mosa,
And Mesphe, and Caphara, and Amosa,
27 Rekèm, Jipeyèl, Tareala,
And Recem, Jarephel and Tharela,
28 Sela-Elèf, Jebis ki vle di Jerizalèm, Gibeya ak Kiriyat. Sa te fè antou katòz lavil ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd yo. Men pòsyon tè yo te bay branch fanmi Benjamen yo pou yo separe bay chak fanmi pa yo.
And Sela, Eleph and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gabaath and Cariath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their families.
