Jozye 21
1 Chèf fanmi Levi yo vin jwenn Eleaza, prèt la, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak chèf tout lòt branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribes of Israel
2 Lè sa a, tout moun sa yo te reyini lavil Silo, nan peyi Kanaran. Chèf fanmi Levi yo di yo: -Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz pou nou. Li te bay lòd pou yo te ban nou lavil pou nou rete ak savann pou bèt nou yo jwenn manje.
at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said to them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities in which to live, together with pasturelands for our livestock.”
3 Se konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo chwazi kèk lavil ak tout savann pou bèt nan pwòp pòsyon tè pa yo, yo bay moun branch fanmi Levi yo, jan Seyè a te bay lòd la.
So by the command of the LORD, the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
4 Yo tire osò. Premye moun ki jwenn pa yo se te moun fanmi Keyat yo. Yo pran trèz lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun branch fanmi Jida, branch fanmi Simeyon ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo, yo bay moun Keyat yo. Moun sa yo se ras fanmi Arawon, prèt la, yo ye.
The first lot came out for the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
5 Apre sa, yo pran dis lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Efrayim, branch fanmi Dann ansanm ak mwatye branch fanmi Manase yo, yo separe bay lòt pitit Keyat yo, chak fanmi pa yo apa.
The remaining descendants of Kohath received ten cities by lot from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
6 Lèfini, yo pran trèz lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Isaka, branch fanmi Asè, branch fanmi Neftali ak lòt mwatye branch fanmi Manase a nan peyi Bazan, yo separe bay pitit Gèchon yo, chak fanmi pa yo apa.
The descendants of Gershon received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
7 Yo pran douz lavil nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Woubenn, branch fanmi Gad ak branch fanmi Zabilon yo, yo separe bay pitit Merari yo, chak fanmi pa yo apa.
And the descendants of Merari received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
8 Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo te tire osò pou Seyè a te ka fè yo konnen ki lavil ak tout savann pou yo bay moun Levi yo, jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd pou yo fè a.
So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these cities, together with their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
9 Men non lavil moun branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Simeyon yo te bay nan pòsyon tè pa yo.
From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they designated these cities by name
10 Lavil sa yo te soti pou moun fanmi Keyat, pitit gason Arawon, nan branch fanmi Levi a. Premye gwoup lavil la te vin pou yo.
to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them:
11 Yo te ba yo lavil Kiriyat aba, ki rele koulye a Ebwon, yon lavil ki te nan mòn peyi Jida yo, ansanm ak tout savann pou mouton yo. Se lavil sa a ki te kapital peyi moun Anak yo.
They gave them Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pasturelands, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the father of Anak.)
12 Men, yo pran tout jaden ki te andeyò lavil la ak tout ti bouk ki te sou lòd li yo, yo bay Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, pou rele l' pa l'.
But they had given the fields and villages around the city to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.
13 Men lavil yo te bay moun fanmi Arawon, prèt la: lavil Ebwon, kote moun ki touye moun ka kouri al chache pwoteksyon, ansanm ak tout savann pou bèt li yo,

15 lavil Olòn, lavil Debi,

In all, twelve cities were allotted to the clans of Merari, the remaining Levite clans.
41 Se konsa, yo te pran karantwit lavil ansanm ak tout savann pou bèt nan mitan tè ki te pou moun Izrayèl yo, yo bay moun Levi yo.
For the Levites, then, there were forty-eight cities in all, together with their pasturelands, within the territory of the Israelites.

Each of these cities had its own surrounding pasturelands; this was true for all the cities.
43 Se konsa, Seyè a te bay pèp Izrayèl la peyi li te pwomèt li t'ap bay zansèt yo a. Yo pran tout peyi a pou yo, yo rete ladan l'.
Thus the LORD gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their fathers, and they took possession of it and settled in it.
44 Seyè a te fè yo gen lapè sou tout fwontyè yo, jan li te pwomèt zansèt yo. Ankenn lènmi pa t' resi kenbe tèt ak yo. Seyè a te lage tout lènmi yo nan men yo.
And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 Seyè a te kenbe dènye pwomès li te fè pèp Izrayèl la. Tout bagay te pase jan l' te pwomèt la.
Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.
