Jozye 16
1 Tè ki te vin pou moun fanmi Jozèf yo te konmanse bò larivyè Jouden, anfas lavil Jeriko, sou bò solèy leve. Li soti la, li moute nan mòn yo jouk li rive Betèl.
And the lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east, even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill-country to Beth-el;
2 Li soti Betèl, li moute Louz, li pase Atawòt, kote moun Aki yo te rete.
and it went out from Beth-el to Luz, and passed along unto the border of the Archites to Ataroth;
3 Baliz fwontyè a desann apre sa bò solèy kouche, nan direksyon peyi moun Jaflèt yo jouk sou limit Bètowon, li pase rive Gezè, l' al bout nan lanmè.
and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites, unto the border of Beth-horon the nether, even unto Gezer; and the goings out thereof were at the sea.
4 Men pòsyon tè ki te vin pou fanmi de pitit Jozèf yo: Manase ak Efrayim.
And the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5 Men tè yo te bay branch moun Efrayim yo pou yo separe bay chak fanmi yon pòsyon. Sou bò solèy leve, Atawòt, Adak te sèvi yo fwontyè jouk Bètowon.
And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus]: the border of their inheritance eastward was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;
6 Baliz fwontyè a soti la, l' al bout nan lanmè Mediterane a. Li kite lavil Mikmetat sou bò nò li. Sou bò solèy leve, fwontyè a vire desann bò Taanat-Silo, li pase bò kote l', sou bò lès lavil Janoa.
and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north; and the border turned about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed along it on the east of Janoah;
7 Li desann soti Janoa, li pase lavil Atawòt ak Nara, li rive lavil Jeriko, l' al bout sou larivyè Jouden.
and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and reached unto Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
8 Li soti Tapwa, li pran direksyon lwès jouk li rive nan dlo Kana, l' al bout sou lanmè a. Men tout pòsyon tè ki te vin pou branch fanmi Efrayim yo. Yo separe l', yo bay chak fanmi yon pòsyon,
From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook of Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families;
9 ansanm ak lavil yo te pran nan mitan ti mòn moun Manase yo pou bay moun Efrayim yo.
together with the cities which were set apart for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10 Men yo pa t' rive mete moun Kanaran ki te rete lavil Gezè yo deyò. Se konsa, jouk jòdi a moun Kanaran yo ap viv nan mitan moun Efrayim yo. Men, yo te fòse moun Kanaran yo fè kòve pou yo.
And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim unto this day, and are become servants to do taskwork.
