Jozye 18
1 Alò, fis Israël yo te vin rasanble yo menm nan Silo e te monte tant asanble a. Peyi a te vin soumèt devan yo.
And all the congregation of the children of Israel were assembled at Selo, and there they pitched the tabernacle of witness; and the land was subdued by them.
2 Te rete pami fis Israël yo sèt tribi ki potko divize eritaj yo.
And the sons of Israel remained, [even] those who [had] not received their inheritance, seven tribes.
3 Konsa, Josué te di a fis Israël yo: “Konbyen de tan nou va mete ankò pou nou pa antre pran posesyon peyi a ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te bannou an?
And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long will ye be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our God has given you?
4 Bay a tèt nou twa mesye ki sòti nan chak tribi, pou m kapab voye yo e pou yo kab mache nan peyi a, pou ekri yon plan detaye a yo menm selon pwòp eritaj pa yo; epi yo va retounen bò kote mwen.
Appoint of yourselves three men of each tribe, and let them rise up and go through the land, and let them describe it before me, as it will be proper to divide it.
5 Yo va divize li an sèt pòsyon; Juda va rete nan teritwa pa li nan sid e lakay Joseph la va rete nan teritwa pa yo nan nò.
And they came to him: and he divided to them seven portions, [saying], Juda shall stand to them a border southward, and the sons of Joseph shall stand to them northward.
6 Nou va fè apantaj peyi a an sèt pòsyon e mennen li ban mwen. Mwen va tire yo osò pou nou isit la devan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
And do ye divide the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, and I will give you a lot before the Lord our God.
7 Paske Levit yo pa gen pòsyon pami nou, akoz pozisyon prèt SENYÈ a se eritaj pa yo. Gad avèk Ruben avèk mwatye tribi Manassé a, osi, te resevwa eritaj vè lès, lòtbò Jourdain an, ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te ba yo.”
For the sons of Levi have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord [is] his portion; and Gad, and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasse, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.
8 Konsa, mesye yo te leve ale. Josué te kòmande sila ki te ale yo: “Ale mache nan teren an, e founi yon plan apantaj detaye de li e retounen kote mwen. Alò, mwen va tire li osò pou nou soti isit la nan Silo.”
And the men rose up and went; and Joshua charged the men who went to explore the land, saying, Go and explore the land, and come to me, and I will bring you forth a lot here before the Lord in Selo.
9 Konsa, mesye yo te sòti e te pase nan peyi a, yo te fè plan apantaj detaye a. Yo te ekri yon deskripsyon selon vil li yo, sèt divizyon yo nan yon liv. Konsa, yo te retounen vè Josué nan kan an Silo.
And they went, and explored the land: and they viewed it, and described it according to the cities, seven parts in a book, and brought [the book] to Joshua.
10 Epi Josué te tire yo osò pou yo nan Silo devan SENYÈ a e la, Josué te divize peyi a pou fis Israël yo selon divizyon pa yo.
And Joshua cast the lot for them in Selo before the Lord.
11 Alò, tiraj osò a pou tribi Benjamin an te monte selon fanmi pa yo e teritwa osò pa yo a te poze antre fis a Juda yo ak fis a Joseph yo.
And the lot of the tribe of Benjamin came forth first according to their families: and the borders of their lot came forth between the children of Juda and the children of Joseph.
12 Lizyè pa yo nan kote nò a te soti nan Jourdain an, lizyè a te monte bò kote Jéricho nan nò, li te pase nan peyi ti kolin yo vè lwès e li te fè bout li nan dezè a Beth-Aven an.
And their borders were northward: the borders shall go up from Jordan behind Jericho northward, and shall go up to the mountain westward, and the issue of it shall be Baethon of Mabdara.
13 Soti la, lizyè a te kouri vè Luz nan kote sid a Luz (ki se Béthel) vè sid; epi lizyè a te desann vè Athroth-Addar, toupre ti mòn ki sou kote sid a Ba Beth-Horon an.
And the borders will go forth thence to Luz, behind Luz, from the south of it; this is Baethel: and the borders shall go down to Maatarob Orech, to the hill country, which is southward of Baethoron the lower.
14 Lizyè a te lonje rive e te vire won sou kote lwès la vè sid; soti nan ti mòn ki parèt devan Beth-Horon vè sid; epi li te fè bout li nan Kirjath-Baal (sa vle di Kirjath-Jearim), yon vil a fis a Juda yo. Sa se te kote lwès la.
And the borders shall pass through and proceed to the part that looks toward the sea, on the south, from the mountain in front of Baethoron southward, and its termination shall be at Cariath-Baal, this is Cariath-Jarin, a city of the children of Juda; this is the part toward the west.
15 Epi kote sid la te soti akote a Kirjath-Jearim e lizyè a te ale vè lwès pou te rive nan fontèn dlo Nephthoach yo.
And the south side on the part of Cariath-Baal; and the borders shall go across to Gasin, to the fountain of the water of Naphtho.
16 Lizyè a te kouri desann rive akote ti mòn ki nan vale Ben-Hinnom, ki nan vale Rephaïm nan vè nò. Epi li te ale desann a vale Hinnom an, nan pant Jebizyen vè sid e te desann jis nan En-Roguel.
And the borders shall extend down on one side, this is in front of the forest of Sonnam, which is on the side of Emec Raphain northward, and it shall come down to Gaeenna behind Jebusai southward: it shall come down to the fountain of Rogel.
17 Li te lonje vè nò e te rive nan En-Schémesch ak nan Gueliloth, ki anfas pant Adummim nan. Epi li te desann nan wòch Bohan an, fis a Ruben an.
And [the borders] shall go across to the fountain of Baethsamys:
18 Li te kontinye akote pa devan Araba a vè nò e te desann rive nan Araba.
and shall proceed to Galiloth, which is in front by the going up of Aethamin; and they shall come down to the stone of Baeon of the sons of Ruben; and shall pass over behind Baetharaba northward, and shall go down to the borders behind the sea northward.
19 Lizyè a te kontinye vè akote Beth-Hogla vè nò; epi lizyè a te fè bout li nan dlo nò a Lamè Sale a, nan pwent sid a Rivyè Jourdain an. Sa se te lizyè sid la.
And the termination of the borders shall be at the creek of the salt sea northward to the side of Jordan southward: these are their southern borders.
20 Anplis, Jourdain an te lizyè li nan kote lès. Sa se te eritaj a fis Benjamin yo, selon fanmi pa yo ak selon lizyè li yo toupatou.
And Jordan shall be their boundary on the east: this [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, these [are] their borders round about according to their families.
21 Alò, vil pou tribi a fis Benjamin yo selon fanmi pa yo se te Jéricho, Beth-Hogla, Émek-Ketsits,
And the cities of the children of Benjamin according to their families [were] Jericho, and Bethagaeo, and the Amecasis,
22 Beth-Araba, Tsemaraïm, Béthel,
and Baethabara, and Sara, and Besana,
23 Avvim, Para, Ophra,
and Aeein, and Phara, and Ephratha,
24 Kephar-Ammonaï, Ophni, epi Guéba; douz vil yo, avèk bouk pa yo.
and Carapha, and Cephira, and Moni, and Gabaa, twelve cities and their villages:
25 Gabaon, Rama, Beéroth,
Gabaon, and Rama, and Beerotha;
26 Mitspé, Kephira, Motsa,
and Massema, and Miron, and Amoke;
27 Rékem, Jirpeel, Thareala,
and Phira, and Caphan, and Nacan, and Selecan, and Thareela,
28 Tséla, Éleph, Jebus, ki se Jérusalem, Guibeath ak Kirjath; Sa se eritaj a fis Benjamin yo selon fanmi pa yo.
and Jebus (this is Jerusalem); and Gabaoth, Jarim, thirteen cities, and their villages; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.
