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.
The leaders of the tribe of Levi approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders of the Israelite tribes.
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.”
They spoke to them at Shiloh in Canaan, saying, “The Lord gave instructions through Moses to give us towns to live in, and pastures for our flocks.”
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, following the Lord's instructions, the Israelites gave towns and pastures to the Levites from their own allocations.
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 lot was cast for the families of the Kothaites. These Levites, descendants of Aaron, were allotted thirteen towns 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 families of the descendants of Kothah were allotted ten towns 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 families of the descendants of Gershon were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and the half-tribe of Manasseh living 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.
The families of the descendants of Merari were allotted twelve towns 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 gave the Levites by lot these towns and pastures, as the Lord had instructed 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;
They gave from the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Simeon the following towns, specifically named,
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 families of the Kothaites, descendants of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi, since 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.
Kiriath-arba (or Hebron), in the hill country of Judah, together with the pastures around it. (Arba was the forefather 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 the more distant fields from the town and the villages had been given to Caleb son of Jephunneh to own.
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,
