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 inheritances which the children of Israel took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to 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 the LORD 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 to the Levites he gave no inheritance amongst 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. They gave no portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.

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

The children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses, 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 came near to Joshua in Gilgal. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the thing that the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning 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 spy out the land. 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 brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly 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.”

Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land where you walked shall be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have wholly 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.

“Now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness. Now, behold, I am eighty-five years old, today.

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 today as I was in the day that Moses sent me. As my strength was then, even so is my strength now for war, 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, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out, 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.

Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to 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 to this day, because he followed the LORD, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.

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 before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man amongst the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.
