Yosiua 18
1 Isala: ili dunu da soge huluane hasali dagosea, ilia huluane Siailou moilaiga gilisili, Hina Gode Ea Da: bena: gele abula diasu gagui.
Then the whole assembly of the people of Israel met together at Shiloh. They set up the tent of meeting there and they conquered the land before them.
2 Be Isala: ili fi fesuale amo da ilia soge hame ilegei ba: i.
There were still seven tribes among the people of Israel whose inheritance had not been assigned.
3 Amaiba: le, Yosiua da Isala: ili dunuma amane sia: i, “Dilia aowalali ilia Hina Gode da soge dilima i dagoi. Dilia da abuliba: le amo soge hedolo hame gesowale fibala: ?
Joshua said to the people of Israel, “How long will you put off going into the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
4 Dunu fi afae afae amo dunu udiana nama ilegema. Na da ili soge huluane ilia da lamusa: hanai gala amo dedema: ne na da asunasimu. Amasea, ilia da nama buhagima: mu.
Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe, and I will send them out. They will set out and survey the land up and down. They will write out a description of it with a view to their inheritances, and then they will come back to me.
5 Ninia da soge fifili, fesuale agoane ilegemu. Yuda fi da hi soge ga (south) amo ganodini esalumu. Amola Yousefe ea fi da hi soge ga (north) amo ganodini esalumu.
They will divide it into seven sections. Judah will remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph will continue in their territory in the north.
6 Amo soge alalo fesuale ilia hou noga: le dedema. Amasea, ninia da Hina Gode Ea hanai dawa: ma: ne, ululuale hedesu ilegesu ea hou ba: mu.
You will describe the land in seven sections and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.
7 Lifai dunu da dili lai defele, soge hame lamu. Bai Hina Gode da ilima gobele salasu hawa: hamomusa: ilegei dagoi. Amola Ga: de, Liubene amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se da ilia soge Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idi amo lai dagoi. Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da amo ilima i dagoi.”
The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance, beyond Jordan. This is the inheritance that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”
8 Yosiua da soge abodema: ne ahoasu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Defea! Asili, soge huluane ea hou ba: lalu noga: le dedema. Amasea, nama bu misa. Amasea, ninia Hina Gode Ea hanai ba: ma: ne, ilegesu ululuasu hou hamomu.” Ilia da amo nabalu asi.
So the men got up and went. Joshua commanded those who went to write the description of the land, saying, “Go up and down in the land and write a description of it and return to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh at Shiloh.”
9 Ilia soge huluane ba: i. Ilia soge amo fesuale fifili, moilai huluane ilia dio dedei. Amalalu, ilia da Yosiua amo Da: bena: gele abula diasu Siailou amoga esalu, ema buhagi.
The men left and walked up and down in the land and wrote a description of it in a scroll by its cities in seven sections, listing the cities in each section. Then they returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.
10 Yosiua da Hina Gode Ea hanai ba: ma: ne, igi ululuasu ilegesu hou hamoi. E da Isala: ili fi amo da soge hame lai, amoga soge fifili, ilegei dagoi.
Then Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh before Yahweh. It was there that Joshua assigned the land to the people of Israel, and to each was given his portion of the land.
11 Bediamini fi da hidadea ilia soge lai. Ilia soge lai da Yuda fi amola Yousefe ea fi amo dogoa dialebe ba: i.
The assignment of land for the tribe of Benjamin clan by clan. The territory of their assigned land was located between the descendants of Judah and the descendants of Joseph.

On the north side, their border began at the Jordan. The border went up to the ridge north of Jericho, and then up through the hill country westward. There it reached the wilderness of Beth Aven.
13 Amalu ilia alalo da agolo sogega asili, Lase (eno dio da Bedele) ga (north) asili, A:dalode A: da amoga asi. A: dalode A: da da goumi amo Bede Holone amoga ga (south) galu, amogai dialu.
From there the border passed along south in the direction of Luz (the same place as Bethel). Then the border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies south of Beth Horon.
14 Amalu, alalo da selefale, amo goumi ea eso dabe la: idi ga (south) asili Gilia: de Ba: iale (Yuda dunu fi ilia moilai) amoga doaga: i. Amo da guma: la: idi soge alalo.
The boundary then went in another direction: On the western side it turned toward the south, heading toward the mountain across from Beth Horon. This boundary ended at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city that belonged to the tribe of Judah. This formed the border on the western side.
15 Ga (south) alalo da Gilia: de Yialimi bega: asili, Nefedoua Hano Bubuga: su amoga doaga: i.
The south side began just outside of Kiriath Jearim. The border went from there to Ephron, to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 Amoga asili, alalo da goumi (amo da Lefa: ime Fago gano diala amola amoga diala da Hinome Fago ba: sa) amo ea baiga asili, ga (south) Hinome Fago amo ganodini asili, Yebiusaide goumiga asili, Enelougele doaga: musa: asili,
The boundary then went down to the border of the mountain which was opposite the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which was at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim. It then went down to the Valley of Hinnom, south of the slope of the Jebusites, and continued down to En Rogel.
17 selefale bu ga (north) Enesemese baligili, Gelilode ilegesu alalo (Adamimi adobo gigadofa ahoasu gadenei) amoga asi. Amalu, alalo da asili Bouha: ne Gele amoga doaga: i. (Bouha: ne da Liubene ea mano).
It turned northward, going in the direction of En Shemesh, and from there it went out to Geliloth, which was opposite the ascent of Adummim. Then it went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18 Fele da: iya amoga asili, goumi (amoga dilia da Yodane Fago ba: sa) amoga ga (north) asili, Yodane Fagoga gudu sa: ili,
It passed on to the north of the shoulder of Beth Arabah and down to the Arabah.
19 Bede Hogola ga (north) asili, Yodane Hano da Bogoi Hano Wayabo idimi amoga doaga: sa. Amo da ga (south) alalo.
The border passed on to the north shoulder of Beth Hoglah. The border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the southern end of the Jordan. This was the boundary on the south.
20 Eso mabadi alalo da Yodane Hano. Amo da Bediamini fi dunu ilia alalo huluane.
The Jordan formed its border on the eastern side. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin, and it was given clan by clan, border after border, all around.
21 Moilai bai bagade amo Bediamini fi ilia lai da Yeligou, Bede Hogola, Emege Gesisi,
Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, had these cities: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
