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 the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there: and the land was subdued before them.
2 Te rete pami fis Israël yo sèt tribi ki potko divize eritaj yo.
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
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 children of Israel, How long [are] ye slack to go to possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers hath 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.
Select from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them, and they shall come [again] to me.
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 shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their borders on the north.
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.
Ye shall therefore describe the land [in] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here 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.”
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD [is] their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave 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 arose, and departed: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go, and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
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 the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven parts in a book, and came [again], to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
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 lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
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 the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot came forth between the children of Judah 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 border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the limits of it were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
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 border went over from thence towards Luz, to the side of Luz (which [is] Beth-el) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether Beth-horon.
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 border was drawn [thence], and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before Beth-horon southward; and the limits of it were at Kirjath-baal (which [is] Kirjath-jearim) a city of the children of Judah. This [was] the west quarter.
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 quarter [was] from the end of Kirjah-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
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 border came down to the end of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which [is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-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 was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth towards Geliloth, which [is] over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18 Li te kontinye akote pa devan Araba a vè nò e te desann rive nan Araba.
And passed along towards the side over against Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah:
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 border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the limits of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan. This [was] the south border.
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 was the border of it on the east side. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the limits of it 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,
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
22 Beth-Araba, Tsemaraïm, Béthel,
And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,
23 Avvim, Para, Ophra,
And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 Kephar-Ammonaï, Ophni, epi Guéba; douz vil yo, avèk bouk pa yo.
And Chephar-haamonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25 Gabaon, Rama, Beéroth,
Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 Mitspé, Kephira, Motsa,
And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 Rékem, Jirpeel, Thareala,
And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 Tséla, Éleph, Jebus, ki se Jérusalem, Guibeath ak Kirjath; Sa se eritaj a fis Benjamin yo selon fanmi pa yo.
And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, (which [is] Jerusalem) Gibeath, [and] Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
