Jozye 13
1 Alò Josué te vin vye e avanse nan laj lè SENYÈ a te di li: “Ou vin vye e avanse nan laj e anpil nan tè a rete san posede.
Joshua was old and advanced in age, and the Lord said to him: “You have grown old, and are aged, and a very wide land remains, which has not yet been divided by lot,
2 “Men tè ki rete yo: tout kote Filisten yo ak tout sila a Gechouryen yo;
specifically, all of Galilee, Philistia, and all of Geshur;
3 soti nan Schichor ki nan lès Égypte, jis rive nan fwontyè Ékron ki nan nò (li konte tankou Kananeyen yo); senk prens a Filisten yo: sa Gaza a, sa Asdod la, sa Askalon an, sa Gath la ak sa Ekron an e pa Avyen yo.
from the muddy river, which irrigates Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron toward the north, the land of Canaan, which is divided among the rulers of Philistia: the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gathites, and the Ekronites;
4 Nan sid, tout teritwa a Canaan yo ak Meara ki pou Sidonyen yo, soti nan Aphek jis rive nan fwontyè Amoreyen yo;
truly, to the south are the Hivites, all the land of Canaan, and Mearah of the Sidonians, as far as Aphek and the borders of the Amorite
5 epi teritwa Gibliyen yo avèk tout Liban, vè lès, soti Baal-Gad anba Mòn Hermon jis rive nan Lebo-Hamath.
and his confines; also, the region of Lebanon toward the east, from Baalgad, under mount Hermon, until you enter into Hamath;
6 “Tout pèp ki te rete nan peyi ti kolin yo soti Liban jis rive Misrephoth-Maim, tout Sidonyen yo, mwen va pouse yo ale soti devan fis Israël yo. Se sèl a Israël pou bay li kòm eritaj, jan Mwen te kòmande ou a.
all who live in the mountains from Lebanon, as far as the waters of Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am the One who will wipe them out, before the face of the sons of Israel. Therefore, let their land become a part of the inheritance of Israel, just as I have instructed you.
7 Koulye a, pou sa, divize tè sa a kòm eritaj a nèf tribi yo avèk mwatye tribi a Manassé a.”
And now, divide the land as a possession to the nine tribes, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh.”
8 Avèk lòt mwatye tribi a, Ribenit yo ak Gadit yo te resevwa eritaj pa yo ke Moïse te ba yo lòtbò Jourdain an nan lès, jis jan ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te bay yo a:
With them, Reuben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the eastern side:
9 soti Aroër ki akote vale Arnon an, avèk vil ki nan mitan vale a ak tout plèn Médeba a, jis rive nan Dibon;
from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon and in the midst of the valley, and all the plains of Medeba, as far as Dibon;
10 epi tout vil a Sihon yo, wa a Amoreyen yo, ki te renye nan Hesbon yo, jis rive nan lizyè fis a Ammon yo;
and all the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, even to the borders of the sons of Ammon;
11 epi Galaad ak teritwa a Gechouryen yo avèk Maakatyen yo, tout Mòn Hermon an ak tout Basan jis rive Salca;
and Gilead, as well as the borders of Geshur and Maacati, and all of mount Hermon, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah;
12 tout wayòm a Og yo nan Basan ki te renye nan Ashtaroth ak nan Édréï, (se te li sèl ki te rete kòm retay a Rephaïm yo); paske Moïse te frape yo e deplase yo.
the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and Edrei, (he was among the last of the Rephaim). And Moses struck and destroyed them.
13 Men fis Israël yo pa t deplase Gechouryen yo ak Maakatyen yo; paske Gueschur avèk Maacath rete pami Israël yo jis jodi a.
And the sons of Israel were not willing to destroy Geshur and Maacati, and so they have lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day.
14 Sèlman a tribi Levi a, li pa t bay eritaj. Ofrann pa dife a SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, se eritaj pa yo, jan Li te pale yo a.
But to the tribe of Levi, he did not give a possession. Instead, the sacrifices and victims of the Lord, the God of Israel, these are his inheritance, just as he spoke to him.
15 Epi Moïse te bay a tribi fis a Ruben yo selon fanmi pa yo.
Therefore, Moses gave a possession to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to their families.
16 Teritwa pa yo te soti Aroër ki arebò vale Arnon an, avèk vil nan mitan vale a ak tout plèn akote Médeba a;
And their border was from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent, with all the flatlands that lead to Medeba;
17 Hesbon ak tout vil pa li yo ki nan plèn nan: Dibon avèk Bamoth-Baal ak Beth-Baal-Meon,
and Heshbon, and all their villages, which are in the plains; also Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmeon,
18 epi Jahats, Kedémoth, Méphaath,
and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
19 Kirjathaïm, Sibma, Tséreth-Haschachar sou mòn a vale a,
and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the steep valley;
20 Beth-Peor, avèk pant a Pisga yo, Beth-Jeschimoth,
Bethpeor, and the descending slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;
21 tout vil nan plèn yo ak tout wayòm a Sihon an, wa Amoreyen an, ki te renye nan Hesbon, ke Moïse te frape ansanm avèk chèf Madian yo, Évi, Rékem, Tsur, Hur, avèk Reba, prens a Sihon yo, ki te rete nan peyi a.
and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down with the leaders of Midian: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the commanders of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.
22 Fis Israël yo, osi, te touye avèk nepe, Balaam, fis a Beor a, yon divinò, pami tout lòt ki te mouri nan yo.
And the sons of Israel killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the seer, with the sword, along with the others who were slain.
23 Lizyè a fis a Ruben yo se te Jourdain an. Sa se te eritaj a fis Ruben yo selon fanmi pa yo, vil ak ti bouk yo.
And the river Jordan was made the border of the sons of Reuben; this is the possession of the Reubenites, by their families, in cities and villages.
24 Moïse, osi, te bay tribi Gad la, a fis Gad yo, selon fanmi pa yo.
And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and his sons, by their families, a possession, of which this is the division:
25 Teritwa pa yo se te Jazer, tout vil nan Galaad yo ak mwatye peyi a fis Ammon yo, jis rive nan Aroër ki devan Rabba a,
the border of Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and one half part of the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer, which is opposite Rabbah;
26 epi soti Hesbon, jis rive nan Ramath-Mitspé, Bethonim ak soti Mahanaïm jis rive nan lizyè Debir a;
and from Heshbon as far as Ramath, Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim as far as the borders of Debir;
27 epi nan vale a, Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimra, Succoth ak Tsaphon, sila ki rete nan wayòm Sihon an, wa Hesbon an, avèk Jourdain an kòm lizyè li jis rive nan pwent Lamè Kinnéreth la, lòt kote Jourdain an vè lès.
also, in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the remaining part of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon; the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the furthest part of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan on the eastern side.
28 Sa se eritaj a fis a Gad yo selon fanmi, vil yo ak bouk pa yo.
This is the possession of the sons of Gad, by their families, in their cities and villages.
29 Moïse te, osi, bay yon eritaj a mwatye tribi Manassé a. Li te pou mwatye tribi Manassé a selon fanmi pa yo.
He also gave, to the one half tribe of Manasseh and to his sons, a possession according to their families,
30 Teritwa pa yo te soti nan Mahanaïm, tout Basan, tout wayòm ki pou Og la, wa Basan an ak tout a vil a Jaïr yo ki nan Basan, swasant vil antou.
the beginning of which is this: from Mahanaim, all of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Og, the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty towns;
31 Anplis, mwatye nan Galaad, avèk Aschtaroth ak Édréï, vil nan wayòm Og yo, nan Basan, te vin pou fis Makir yo, fis a Manassé yo, pou mwatye a fis Makir yo selon fanmi pa yo.
and one half part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, to the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, to one half part of the sons of Machir, according to their families.
32 Sila yo se teritwa ke Moïse te divize kòm eritaj nan ba plèn a Moab yo, lòtbò Jourdain an, vè Jéricho ki nan lès.
Moses divided this possession, in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho on the eastern side.
33 Men a tribi Levi a, Moïse pa t ba li eritaj. SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, se eritaj pa yo, jan li te pwomèt a yo menm nan.
But to the tribe of Levi he did not give a possession. For the Lord, the God of Israel, is himself their possession, just as he spoke to him.
