Jozye 17
1 Alò, sa se tiraj osò a pou Manassé, paske li te premye ne a Joseph. Pou Makir, premye ne a Manassé a, papa a Galaad ak Basan, paske li te yon nonm lagè.
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the first-born of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the first-born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
2 Epi tiraj osò a te fèt pou lòt fis Manassé yo selon fanmi pa yo: pou fis a Abiézer a, pou fis a Hélek la, pou fis a Asriel yo, e fis a Sichem yo, pou fis a Hépher yo ak pou fis a Schemida yo; sa yo se te desandan mesye a Manassé yo, fis a Joseph la selon fanmi pa yo.
There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these [were] the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
3 Men Tselophchad, fis a Hépher a, fis a Galaad la, fis a Makir a, fis a Manassé a, pa t gen fis, men sèlman fi. Sila yo se non a fi li yo: Machla, Noa, Hogla, Milca ak Thirtsa.
But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4 Yo te vin pwoche Éléazar, prèt la, ak devan Josué, fis a Nun nan, ak devan chèf yo, e yo te di: “SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse pou bannou yon eritaj pami frè nou yo.” Konsa, selon kòmand a SENYÈ a, li te ba yo yon eritaj pami frè a papa pa yo.
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren: therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5 Pou sa, te vin tonbe dis pòsyon tè a Manassé, anplis, tout tè a Galaad ak Basan ki lòtbò Jourdain an,
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side of Jordan;
6 akoz fi a Manassé yo te resevwa yon eritaj pami fis li yo. Epi tè Galaad la te apatyen a lòt fis Manassé yo.
Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7 Lizyè Manassé a te kouri soti Aser a Micmethath, ki nan lès a Sichem. Epi lizyè a te kouri vè sid pou rive kote pèp En-Tappuach yo.
And the border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8 Tè Tappuach la te apatyen a Manassé; men Tappuach nan lizyè Manassé a te pou fis a Éphraïm yo.
[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;
9 Lizyè a te kouri desann rive nan ti rivyè Kana a, bò kote sid a rivyè a (vil sa yo se te pou Éphraïm pami vil a Manassé yo). Epi lizyè a Manassé a te nan kote nò a ti rivyè a e li te fè bout li nan lanmè.
And the border descended to the river Kanah, southward of the river. These cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the border of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the limits of it were at the sea:
10 Kote sid la se te pou Éphraïm e kote nò a se te pou Manassé, lanmè a te lòt lizyè a. Yo te rive vè Aser nan nò e vè Issacar nan lès.
Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was] Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11 Nan Issacar ak nan Aser, Manassé te gen Beth-Schean avèk bouk li yo, Jibleam avèk bouk li yo, pèp a Dor yo avèk bouk li yo, pèp a En-Dor yo avèk bouk li yo, pèp a Thaanac yo avèk bouk li yo, pèp a Meguiddo yo avèk bouk li yo e twazyèm nan se Napheth.
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and its towns, and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Tanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, [even] three countries.
12 Men fis Manassé yo pa t kab pran posesyon a vil sa yo akoz Kananeyen yo te pèsiste viv nan peyi sa a.
Yet the children of Manasseh could not expel [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13 Li te rive ke lè fis Israël yo te vin gen fòs, yo te mete Kananeyen yo nan travo fòse; men yo pa t chase yo deyò nèt.
Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel had become strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly expel them.
14 Alò, fis Joseph yo te pale avèk Josué e te di: “Poukisa mwen te resevwa yon sèl tiraj osò ak yon sèl pòsyon kòm eritaj, paske nou menm se yon pèp ki anpil ke jis koulye a SENYÈ a te beni anpil?”
And the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath hitherto blessed me?
15 Josué te di yo: “Si nou se yon pèp ki anpil, ale monte nan forè a pou netwaye yon plas pou nou la nan peyi Ferezyen avèk Rephaïm yo; akoz peyi ti kolin Éphraïm nan twò etwat pou nou.”
And Joshua answered them, If thou [art] a great people, [then] go up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.
16 Epi fis Joseph yo te reponn: “Peyi ti kolin nan pa kont pou nou e tout Kananeyen yo ki rete nan plèn nan gen cha ki fèt an fè, ni sila ki nan Beth-Schean avèk bouk pa li yo ak sila ki nan vale Jizreel la.”
And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of Beth-shean and its towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel.
17 Josué te pale avèk lakay Joseph, a Éphraïm avèk Manassé e te di: “Nou se yon pèp ki anpil e ki gen gran pouvwa. Nou p ap gen yon sèl tiraj osò,
And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, [even] to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot [only]:
18 men peyi ti kolin yo va vin pou nou. Men se yon forè ke li ye, nou va eklèsi li e lizyè ki pi lwen nan li yo va vin pou nou; paske nou va chase met deyò Kananeyen yo, malgre yo gen cha ki fèt an fè e malgre yo gen fòs.”
But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the limits of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [are] strong.
