Jozye 16
1 Tiraj osò fis a Joseph yo te sòti nan Jourdain vè Jéricho pou rive nan dlo a Jéricho yo, vè lès nan dezè a. Yo te monte soti Jéricho pou pase nan peyi ti kolin yo pou rive Béthel.
The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.
2 Li te sòti Béthel vè Luz pou te kontinye rive jis nan fwontyè Akiyen yo nan Atharoth.
It went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 Li te kouri desann vè lwès nan teritwa a Jafletyen yo, jis rive nan teritwa pati Beth-Horon ki piba a, jis rive nan Guézer; epi li te fè bout li nan lanmè.
and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, to the border of Beth Horon the lower, and on to Gezer; and ended at the sea.
4 Fis a Joseph, Manassé avèk Éphraïm te resevwa eritaj pa yo.
The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 Men teritwa fis a Éphraïm yo selon fanmi pa yo: lizyè a eritaj pa yo, vè lès se te Atharoth-Addar, pou rive nan Wo Beth-Horon.
This was the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families. The border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper.
6 Epi lizyè a te vire nan lwès nan Micmethath nan nò; epi lizyè a te vire vè lès pou Thaanath-Silo e te kouri depase li nan lès a Janoach.
The border went out westward at Michmethath on the north. The border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah.
7 Li te vin desann soti nan Janoach a Ataroth, a Naaratha, li te rive nan Jéricho e te sòti nan Jourdain an.
It went down from Janoah to Ataroth, to Naarah, reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8 Soti nan Tappuach, lizyè a te kontinye vè lwès nan ti rivyè Kana a e te fè bout li nan lanmè. Sa se te eritaj a tribi fis Éphraïm yo selon fanmi pa yo,
From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and ended at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;
9 avèk vil ki te mete apa pou fis Éphraïm yo nan mitan eritaj a fis Manassé yo, tout vil yo avèk bouk pa yo.
together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the middle of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 Men yo pa t chase fè sòti Kananeyen ki te rete Guézer yo; epi pou sa, Kananeyen yo rete pami Éphraïm jis jodi a. Konsa, yo te vin ouvriye yo nan travay fòse.
They didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the territory of Ephraim to this day, and have become servants to do forced labour.
