Jozye 18
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 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 Men, te gen sèt branch fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pa t' ankò resevwa pòsyon pa yo nan tè a. 3 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Apre sa, li pase sou flan nò mòn Neta araba, li desann nan fon Jouden an. 19 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 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 Men non lavil ki te pou fanmi moun Benjamen yo. Se te Jeriko, Bèt-Ogla, Emèkkesis, 22 Bèt arara, Semarayim, Betèl, 23 Avim, Para, Ofra, 24 Kefa amoni, Ofni, Geba. Sa te fè antou douz lavil ak tout ti bouk ki sou lòd yo. 25 Te gen tou Gabawon, Rama, Beewòt, 26 Mizpe, Kefira, Mosa, 27 Rekèm, Jipeyèl, Tareala, 28 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.

Jozye 18:1
Jos 18:1. The Tabernacle Set Up at Shiloh.
1. the whole congregation ... assembled together at Shiloh--The main body of the Israelites had been diminished by the separation of the three tribes, Judah, Ephraim, and Manasseh into their respective allotments; and the country having been in a great measure subdued, the camp was removed to Shiloh (now Seilun). It was twenty or twenty-five miles north of Jerusalem, twelve north of Beth-el, and ten south of Shechem, and embosomed in a rugged and romantic glen. This sequestered spot in the heart of the country might have been recommended by the dictates of convenience. There the allotment of the territory could be most conveniently made, north, south, east, and west, to the different tribes. But "the tabernacle of the congregation was also set up there," and its removal therefore must have been made or sanctioned by divine intimation (De 12:11). It remained in Shiloh for more than three hundred years (1Sa 4:1-11).
Jozye 18:2
Jos 18:2-9. The Remainder of the Land Described.
2. there remained ... seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance--The selection of Shiloh for the seat of worship, together with the consequent removal of the camp thither, had necessarily interrupted the casting of lots, which was commenced by fixing localities for the tribes of Judah and Joseph. Various causes led to a long delay in resuming it. The satisfaction of the people with their change to so pleasant and fertile a district, their preference of a nomad life, a love of ease, and reluctance to renew the war, seem to have made them indifferent to the possession of a settled inheritance. But Joshua was too much alive to the duty laid on him by the Lord to let matters continue in that state; and accordingly, since a general conquest of the land had been made, he resolved to proceed immediately with the lot, believing that when each tribe should receive its inheritance, a new motive would arise to lead them to exert themselves in securing the full possession.
Jozye 18:3
3. How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you--This reproof conveys an impression that the seven tribes were dilatory to a criminal extent.
Jozye 18:4-9
4-9. Give out from among you three men for each tribe--Though the lot determined the part of the country where each tribe was to be located, it could not determine the extent of territory which might be required; and the dissatisfaction of the children of Joseph with the alleged smallness of their possession gave reason to fear that complaints might arise from other quarters, unless precautions were taken to make a proper distribution of the land. For this purpose a commission was given to twenty-one persons--three chosen from each of the seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance, to make an accurate survey of the country.
Jozye 18:10
Jos 18:10. Divided by Lot.
10. Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord--before the tabernacle, where the divine presence was manifested, and which associated with the lot the idea of divine sanction.
Jozye 18:11
11. the lot of ... Benjamin came up--It has been supposed that there were two urns or vessels, from which the lots were drawn: one containing the names of the tribes, the other containing those of the seven portions; and that the two were drawn out simultaneously.
the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph--Thus the prophecy of Moses respecting the inheritance of Benjamin was remarkably accomplished. (See on De 33:12).
