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 heritages 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 tribes of the children of Israel, gave out to them;
2 selon tiraj osò eritaj pa yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande a, pa Moïse pou nèf tribi avèk mwatye tribi a.
Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and 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 their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage 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.
Because the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave the Levites no part in the land, only towns for their living-places, with the grass-lands for their cattle and for their property.
5 Konsa, fis Israël yo te fè jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la. Yo te divize teren an.
As the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the people of Israel did, and they made division of 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 went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you 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.
I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.
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.”
My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.
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 on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.
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, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-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.
And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.
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.”
So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.
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 gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.
14 Konsa, Hébron te devni eritaj Caleb, fis a Jephunné, Kenyen nan, jis rive jou sa a, akoz li te swiv SENYÈ a nèt.
So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, 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.
In earlier times the name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
