< Jozye 14 >

1 Alò, sila yo se teritwa ke fis Israël yo te eritye nan peyi Canaran an, ke Éléazar, prèt la ak Josué, fis a Nun nan, ak chèf kay nan tribi a fis Israël yo te divize bay yo kòm eritaj yo,
And these are the inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed unto them,
2 selon tiraj osò eritaj pa yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande a, pa Moïse pou nèf tribi avèk mwatye tribi a.
by the lot of their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
3 Paske Moïse te bay eritaj la a de tribi avèk mwatye tribi lòtbò Jourdain an. Men li pa t bay yon eritaj a Levit ki te pami yo.
For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
4 Paske fis Joseph yo te de tribi, Manassé avèk Éphraïm, e yo pa t bay yon pòsyon a Levit nan peyi yo, sof ke vil pou yo viv ladan yo, avèk teren pa yo pou bèt pa yo ak pou byen pa yo.
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: and they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for their cattle and for their substance.
5 Konsa, fis Israël yo te fè jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la. Yo te divize teren an.
As Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.
6 Alò, fis Juda yo te pwoche toupre Josué nan Guilgal ak Caleb, fis a Jephunné a, Kenizyen an. Yo di li: “Ou konnen pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse, nonm Bondye a, konsènan ou menm avèk mwen nan Kadès-Barnéa.
Then the children of Judah drew nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that Jehovah spake unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea.
7 Mwen te gen karantan lè Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te voye mwen sòti nan Kadès Barnéa pou fè espyonaj peyi a. Mwen te mennen pawòl la retounen kote li jan li te ye nan kè m nan.
Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
8 Sepandan, frè m ki te monte avè m yo te fè kè a pèp la fann avèk laperèz; men Mwen te swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an nèt.”
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.
9 Konsa, Moïse te sèmante nan jou sa a, e li te di: “Vrèman peyi a sila pye ou te foule a va vin yon eritaj pou ou menm ak pitit ou yo pou tout tan, akoz ou te swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an nèt.”
And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall be an inheritance to thee and to thy children for ever, because thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God.
10 “Koulye a, gade byen, SENYÈ a te kite mwen viv pandan karant-senk ane sa yo, jis jan ke Li te pale a, soti nan tan sila a ke SENYÈ a te pale pawòl sa a Moïse la, lè Israël te mache nan dezè a. Epi koulye a, gade byen, jodi a mwen gen katreven senk ane.
And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as he spake, these forty and five years, from the time that Jehovah spake this word unto Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
11 Mwen gen menm fòs jodi a ke m te gen nan jou Moïse te voye mwen an. Tankou fòs mwen te gen nan moman sa a, se konsa fòs mwen ye koulye a, pou fè lagè ak antre sòti.
As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out and to come in.
12 Alò, koulye a, ban m peyi ti kolin yo sa ke SENYÈ a te pale nan jou sa a. Paske ou te tande nan jou sa a ke Anakim yo te la avèk gran vil byen fòtifye. Li kapab ke SENYÈ a va avè m, e mwen va chase yo sòti ladann jan SENYÈ a te pale a.”
Now therefore give me this hill-country, whereof Jehovah spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and cities great and fortified: it may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Jehovah spake.
13 Alò, Josué te beni li e te bay Hébron a Caleb, fis a Jephunné a, Kenizyen an jis rive jodi a kon eritaj li. Paske li te swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la nèt.
And Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
14 Konsa, Hébron te devni eritaj Caleb, fis a Jephunné, Kenyen nan, jis rive jou sa a, akoz li te swiv SENYÈ a nèt.
Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; because that he wholly followed Jehovah, the God of Israel.
15 Alò, non ansyen a Hébron an se te Kirjath-Arba, paske Arba te moun pi gran pami Anakim yo. Answit, peyi a te vin gen repo san fè lagè.
Now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba; [which Arba was] the greatest man among the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
