Jozye 21
1 Epi chèf lakay a Levit yo te pwoche Éléazar, prèt la, ak Josué, fis a Nun nan, ak tèt lakay a tribi fis Israël yo.
Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribes of Israel
2 Yo te pale avèk yo Silo, nan peyi Canaan an, e te di: “SENYÈ a te kòmande pa Moïse pou bannou vil pou viv ladann, avèk patiraj pou bèt nou yo.”
at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said to them, “The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities in which to live, together with pasturelands for our livestock.”
3 Konsa, fis Israël yo te bay Levit yo soti nan eritaj pa yo vil sila yo avèk tè patiraj yo selon kòmand SENYÈ a.
So by the command of the LORD, the Israelites gave the Levites these cities and their pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
4 Epi tiraj osò a te sòti pou fanmi a Keatit yo. Epi fis a Aaron yo, prèt la, ki te apatyen a Levit yo, te resevwa trèz vil pa tiraj osò soti nan tribi Juda, nan tribi Siméon, ak nan tribi Benjamin.
The first lot came out for the Kohathite clans. The Levites who were descendants of Aaron the priest received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.
5 Rès nan fis Keatit yo te resevwa dis vil pa tiraj osò soti nan fanmi a tribi a Éphraïm yo, soti nan tribi a Dan lan ak nan mwatye tribi a Manassé a.
The remaining descendants of Kohath received ten cities by lot from the tribes of Ephraim, Dan, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
6 Fis a Guerschon yo te resevwa trèz vil pa tiraj osò soti nan fanmi a tribi Issacar a, nan tribi Aser a, nan tribi Nephtali a ak nan mwatye tribi Manassé a nan Basan.
The descendants of Gershon received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.
7 Fis a Merari yo selon fanmi pa yo te resevwa douz vil soti nan tribi Ruben, soti nan tribi Gad ak soti nan tribi Zabulon.
And the descendants of Merari received twelve cities from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Zebulun.
8 Alò fis Israël yo te bay selon tiraj osò a Levit yo, vil sila yo avèk teren patiraj pa yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande pa Moïse la.
So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these cities, together with their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
9 Yo te bay vil sila ki mansyone pa non soti nan tribi a fis Juda yo e soti nan tribi a fis Siméon yo;
From the tribes of Judah and Simeon, they designated these cities by name
10 epi yo te pou fis Aaron yo, youn nan fanmi a Keatit yo, nan fis Levi yo; paske premye tiraj osò a se te pou yo.
to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because the first lot fell to them:
11 Konsa, yo te ba yo Kirjath-Arba, Arba ki te papa a Anak (ki vle di Hébron), nan peyi ti kolin yo nan Juda, avèk teren patiraj ki te antoure li yo.
They gave them Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), with its surrounding pasturelands, in the hill country of Judah. (Arba was the father of Anak.)
12 Men chan a vil avèk bouk li yo, yo te bay yo a Caleb, fis a Jephunné a, kòm posesyon pa l.
But they had given the fields and villages around the city to Caleb son of Jephunneh as his possession.
13 Konsa, a fis Aaron yo, prèt la, yo te bay Hébron, vil azil pou moun ki touye moun yo, avèk teren patiraj pa li yo ak Libna avèk teren patiraj pa li,
So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave these cities, together with their pasturelands: Hebron, a city of refuge for the manslayer, Libnah,

20 Epi vil yo soti nan tribi Éphraïm nan te sòt tonbe pou fanmi a Kehath yo, Levit yo, jis rive nan lòt fis a Kehath yo.
The remaining Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted these cities: From the tribe of Ephraim

In all, twelve cities were allotted to the clans of Merari, the remaining Levite clans.
41 Tout vil a Levit ki te nan mitan posesyon a fis Israël yo te karann-tuit vil avèk teren patiraj pa yo.
For the Levites, then, there were forty-eight cities in all, together with their pasturelands, within the territory of the Israelites.
42 Chak nan vil sila yo te gen teren patiraj pa li ki te antoure li. Se konsa li te ye avèk tout vil sila yo.
Each of these cities had its own surrounding pasturelands; this was true for all the cities.
43 Konsa, SENYÈ a te bay Israël tout peyi ke Li te sèmante pou bay a zansèt pa yo, e yo te posede li pou viv ladann.
Thus the LORD gave Israel all the land He had sworn to give their fathers, and they took possession of it and settled in it.
44 Epi SENYÈ a te ba yo repo toupatou, selon tout sa ke Li te sèmante a zansèt pa yo e nanpwen youn nan lènmi yo ki te kanpe devan yo. SENYÈ a te mete tout lènmi yo nan men yo.
And the LORD gave them rest on every side, just as He had sworn to their fathers. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 Pa menm youn nan bon pwomès ke SENYÈ a te fè kay Israël la pa t manke akonpli. Yo tout te vin rive.
Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel had failed; everything was fulfilled.
