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,

These are the areas of land that the people of Israel received as their inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the the tribal leaders of Israel allotted 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 inheritance was selected by lot for the nine and one-half tribes, just as Yahweh had commanded by the hand of Moses.

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 and one-half tribes beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance.

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.

The tribe of Joseph was actually two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites were given no portion of the inheritance in the land, but only certain cities to live in, with their pasturelands for livestock and for their own material resources.

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

The people of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses, so they assigned 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 tribe of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, “You know what Yahweh said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me at 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 Yahweh sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land. I brought him a report again as it was in my heart to make.

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 went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear. But I completely followed Yahweh 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.”

Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land on which your foot has walked will be an inheritance for you and for your children forever, because you have completely followed Yahweh 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.

Now, look! Yahweh has kept me alive these forty-five years, just as he said—from the time when Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, look! I am this day 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.

I am still as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me out. My strength is now as my strength was then, for war and for going and coming.

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, which Yahweh promised me on that day. For you heard on that day that the Anakim were there with great fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me and that I will drive them out, just as Yahweh 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.

Then Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron as an inheritance to Caleb son of Jephunneh.

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 son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he completely followed Yahweh, 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 formerly was Kiriath Arba. (Arba had been the greatest man among the Anakim.) Then the land had rest from war.
