< Joshua 18 >

1 Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, —the land, having been subdued before them.
Lè yo fin soumèt tout peyi a, tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo reyini lavil Silo kote yo te kanpe Tant Randevou a. Tout peyi a te pou yo.
2 But there remained among the sons of Israel, to whom had not been apportioned their inheritance, —seven tribes.
Men, te gen sèt branch fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pa t' ankò resevwa pòsyon pa yo nan tè a.
3 So Joshua said unto the sons of Israel, —How long, will ye be too slothful, to enter in and take possession of the land, which Yahweh God of your fathers, hath given unto you?
Lè sa a, Jozye di yo: -Kisa n'ap tann pou n' al pran peyi Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, ban nou an?
4 Set forth for you three men for each tribe, —that I may send them, that they may arise—and go up and down in the land—and map it out as required for their inheritance, and come in unto me.
Chak branch fanmi pral chwazi twa gason ban mwen. M'a voye yo al mache toupatou nan peyi a. Y'a make pòsyon yo ta renmen gen pou yo. Apre sa, y'a tounen vin jwenn mwen.
5 So shall they apportion it for themselves into seven parts, —Let, Judah, stay upon his boundary, on the south, and, the house of Joseph, stay upon their boundary, on the north,
Y'a separe rès peyi a an sèt pòsyon. Moun branch fanmi Jida yo va rete sou tè pa yo nan sid, epi moun branch fanmi Jozèf yo va rete sou pòsyon tè pa yo tou nan nò.
6 but, ye, shall map out the [rest of the] land, into seven parts, —and bring in [your descriptions] unto me, here, —then will I cast lots for you here, before Yahweh our God.
N'a make sou papye jan nou ta renmen separe rès peyi a an sèt pòsyon. N'a pote papye a ban mwen isit la. Apre sa, m'a vin tire osò pou nou devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
7 For Levi hath no portion in your midst, for, the priesthood of Yahweh, is his inheritance, —and, Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance, beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them.
Moun Levi yo menm p'ap resevwa ankenn pòsyon nan tè a tankou lòt branch fanmi yo, paske tou sa y'a gen pou yo fè se sèvi pou yo sèvi prèt pou Seyè a. Pou moun branch fanmi Gad yo, moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo ak mwatye nan branch fanmi Manase a, yo gen tan resevwa pòsyon pa yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden, sou bò solèy leve, jan Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye, te ba yo l' la.
8 So the men arose, and went, —and Joshua commanded them who were going, to map out the land, saying—Take your journey and go up and down in the land, and map it out, and return unto me, and, here, will I cast lots for you before Yahweh, in Shiloh.
Se konsa mesye yo al vizite tout peyi a pou yo ka make sou papye jan peyi a ye. Anvan sa, Jozye te bay mesye yo lòd sa a: -Ale mache nan tout peyi a. Make jan nou wè l'. Apre sa, tounen vin jwenn mwen. M'a moute Silo pou m' ka tire osò pou nou, pou m' ka konnen volonte Seyè a.
9 So the men went, and passed through the land, and mapped it out by cities, into seven parts, upon a scroll, —and came in unto Joshua, unto the camp, in Shiloh.
Mesye yo pati, yo mache nan tout peyi a. Yo make sou papye tout lavil yo jwenn. Yo separe yo fè sèt pòsyon ak non tout lavil yo, epi yo pote l' bay Jozye nan kan Silo a.
10 And Joshua cast for them lots, in Shiloh, before Yahweh, —and Joshua there apportioned the land unto the sons of Israel, according to their portions.
Lè sa a, Jozye tire osò pou yo devan Seyè a nan Silo. Se la li separe peyi a bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Li bay chak moun pòsyon ki vin pou yo.
11 Then came up the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, —and the boundary of their lot came out, between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
Moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te jwenn pòsyon tè ki nan mitan an, pòsyon tè moun Jida yo yon bò ak pòsyon tè moun Jozèf yo yon lòt bò.
12 And so their boundary, on the north border, was from the Jordan, —and the boundary goeth up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and goeth up in the hill country, westward, and the extensions thereof are towards the wilderness of Beth-aven;
Sou bò nò, lizyè yo a te konmanse larivyè Jouden, li moute flan nò mòn Jeriko a, li rale moute sou mòn yo nan direksyon solèy kouche, jouk li rive nan dezè Bèt avenn lan.
13 and the boundary passeth over from thence towards Luz, to the side of Luz, southwards, the same, is Bethel, —and the boundary goeth down to Ataroth-addah, by the mountain that is on the south of Beth-horon the nether;
Apre sa, li pase lavil Louz, sou bò sid bit Louz la kote yo rele jouk jòdi a Betèl. Li desann Atawòt ada, sou mòn ki sou bò sid lavil Bètowon an.
14 then turneth the boundary and goeth round the west border, southward, from the mountain which faceth Beth-horon, southward, and so the extensions thereof are unto Kiriath-baal—the same, is Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah, —this, is the west border.
Lizyè a fè yon koub, li vire kite direksyon lwès, li pran direksyon sid, depi sou mòn ki anfas Bètowon an sou bò sid, jouk li rive lavil Kiriyat-Baal yo rele Kiriyat-Jearim jòdi a, ki te pou moun Jida yo. Se sa ki te limit pòsyon pa moun Benjamen yo sou bò solèy kouche.
15 And, the border southward, is from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, —and the boundary goeth out westward, yea it goeth out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;
Men limit yo sou bò sid: li pati depi nan Kalfou Kiriyat-Jearim lan, li moute bò Gachen, li pran direksyon lwès, li parèt bò sous dlo Neftoa yo.
16 and the boundary goeth down to the uttermost part of the mountain which faceth the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the Vale of Giants, northward, —and descendeth the valley of Hinnom, unto the side of the Jebusite, southward, and then descendeth to En-rogel;
Apre sa, li rive jouk bò mòn ki anfas fon Pitit Ennon an, ki sou bò nò plenn Refayim yo. Li pran pant mòn moun Jebis yo desann nan fon Ennon an, l' al bout sou Anwogèl.
17 and it turneth on the north, and goeth out at En-shemesh, and goeth out unto Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim, —and goeth down by the Stone of Bohan, son of Reuben;
Apre sa, li fè yon koub li vire sou nan nò, li pase Anchemèch. Apre sa, li rive Gelilòt anfas pas Adoumim. Li desann bò Wòch Boan. Boan sa a te pitit Woubenn.
18 and passeth along unto the side over against the Arabah, northward, —and goeth down toward the Arabah;
Apre sa, li pase sou flan nò mòn Neta araba, li desann nan fon Jouden an.
19 and the boundary passeth along unto the side of Beth-hoglah, northward, and so the extensions of the boundary are unto the bay of the Salt Sea, northward, unto the end of the Jordan, southward, —This, is the south boundary.
Li rive sou flan nò mòn Bèt-Ogla. L' al bout nan pwent nò lanmè Mouri a, nan bout sid larivyè Jouden an. Se sa ki te limit sid yo.
20 And, the Jordan itself, boundeth it as an eastward border. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the boundaries thereof round about, by their families.
Sou bò solèy leve, larivyè Jouden an te sèvi yo baliz. Men limit pòsyon tè yo te bay moun Benjamen yo pou yo separe bay chak fanmi pa yo.
21 So then the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, are, —Jericho and Beth-hoglah, and Emekkeziz,
Men non lavil ki te pou fanmi moun Benjamen yo. Se te Jeriko, Bèt-Ogla, Emèkkesis,
22 and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
Bèt arara, Semarayim, Betèl,
23 and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,
Avim, Para, Ofra,
24 and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni, and Geba, —twelve cities, with their villages:
Kefa amoni, Ofni, Geba. Sa te fè antou douz lavil ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd yo.
25 Gibeon and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Te gen tou Gabawon, Rama, Beewòt,
26 and Mizpeh and Chephirah, and Mozah,
Mizpe, Kefira, Mosa,
27 and Rekem and Irpeel, and Taralah,
Rekèm, Jipeyèl, Tareala,
28 and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite, the same, is Jerusalem, Gibeath [and] Kiriath, fourteen cities, with their villages. This, is the inheritance of the song of Benjamin, by their families.
Sela-Elèf, Jebis ki vle di Jerizalèm, Gibeya ak Kiriyat. Sa te fè antou katòz lavil ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd yo. Men pòsyon tè yo te bay branch fanmi Benjamen yo pou yo separe bay chak fanmi pa yo.
