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,

This is what the sons of Israel possessed in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar, the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the leaders of the families, by the tribes of Israel, gave to them,

2 selon tiraj osò eritaj pa yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande a, pa Moïse pou nèf tribi avèk mwatye tribi a.

dividing all by lot, just as the Lord had instructed by the hand of Moses, to the nine tribes and to the one 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 to the two and one half tribes, Moses had given a possession beyond the Jordan, aside from the Levites, who received no land among their brothers.

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 by succession, the sons of Joseph, in their place, were divided into two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. But the Levites did not receive another portion of land, except cities in which to live, and their suburbs, so as to feed their beasts of burden and cattle.

5 Konsa, fis Israël yo te fè jan SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la. Yo te divize teren an.

Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the sons 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.

And so, the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. And Caleb, the son of Jephone, the Kenizzite, spoke to him: “You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, at Kadesh-barnea, about me and you.

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, so that I might consider the land. And I reported to him what seemed to me to be true.

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.”

But my brothers, who had ascended with me, broke the heart of the people. And I nevertheless followed the Lord 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 swore, on that day, saying: ‘The land that your foot has tread upon shall be your possession, and that of your sons, unto eternity. For you have followed the Lord 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.

Therefore, the Lord has granted life to me, just as he promised, even to the present day. It has been forty-five years since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel was wandering through the wilderness. Today, 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.

being just as strong as I was at that time, when I was sent to explore the land. The fortitude in me at that time continues even until today, as much to fight as to march.

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.”

Therefore, grant to me this mountain, which the Lord has promised in your hearing also, on which are the Anakim, and cities, great and fortified. Perhaps it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to destroy them, just as he promised to me.”

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 delivered Hebron to him as a possession.

14 Konsa, Hébron te devni eritaj Caleb, fis a Jephunné, Kenyen nan, jis rive jou sa a, akoz li te swiv SENYÈ a nèt.

And from then on, Hebron was for Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, even to the present day. For he followed 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.

Previously, the name Hebron was called Kiriath-Arba. Adam, the greatest among the Anakim, was laid there. And the land ceased from battles.
