Yoswa 13
1 Yoswa atakalamba Yehova anamuwuza kuti, Iwe tsopano wakalamba kwambiri, koma dziko losalandidwa lilipobe lalikulu.
Joshua was old and advanced in age, and the Lord said to him: “You have grown old, and are aged, and a very wide land remains, which has not yet been divided by lot,
2 “Madera amene atsala ndi awa: chigawo chonse cha Afilisti ndi Agesuri
specifically, all of Galilee, Philistia, and all of Geshur;
3 kuchokera ku mtsinje wa Sihori kummawa kwa Igupto mpaka kumpoto kwa dziko la Ekroni. Madera onse amawerengedwa kuti ndi a Akanaani ngakhale amalamulidwa ndi mafumu asanu a Afilisti a ku Gaza, Asidodi, Asikeloni, Gati, Ekroni ndi Agiti, komanso ku Avimu ku chigawo cha kumpoto.
from the muddy river, which irrigates Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron toward the north, the land of Canaan, which is divided among the rulers of Philistia: the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gathites, and the Ekronites;
4 Dziko lina la Akanaani ndi Ameara limene lili mʼmanja mwa Asidoni mpaka ku Afeki, dziko limene linachitana malire ndi dziko la Aamori.
truly, to the south are the Hivites, all the land of Canaan, and Mearah of the Sidonians, as far as Aphek and the borders of the Amorite
5 Palinso dziko lonse la Gebala ndi Lebanoni cha kummawa kuyambira ku Baala-Gadi pa tsinde pa phiri la Herimoni mpaka ku Lebo Hamati.
and his confines; also, the region of Lebanon toward the east, from Baalgad, under mount Hermon, until you enter into Hamath;
6 “Palinso anthu okhala mʼchigawo cha ku mapiri kuchokera ku Lebanoni mpaka ku Misirefoti-Maimu, Ine ndidzawapirikitsa pamene Aisraeli azidzalowa. Tsono uwagawire Aisraeli dziko limeneli kuti likhale cholowa chawo monga momwe ndakulamulira.
all who live in the mountains from Lebanon, as far as the waters of Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am the One who will wipe them out, before the face of the sons of Israel. Therefore, let their land become a part of the inheritance of Israel, just as I have instructed you.
7 Tsopano ugawire dziko limeneli mafuko asanu ndi anayi ndiponso theka la fuko la Manase, kuti likhale cholowa chawo.”
And now, divide the land as a possession to the nine tribes, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh.”
8 Anthu a fuko la Rubeni ndi fuko la Gadi pamodzi ndi theka lina la fuko la Manase analandira kale cholowa chawo chimene Mose mtumiki wa Yehova anawapatsa. Cholowa chawocho chinali kummawa kwa mtsinje wa Yorodani.
With them, Reuben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the eastern side:
9 Dziko lawolo linayambira ku Aroeri mzinda umene uli pafupi ndi chigwa cha Arinoni, ndiponso mzinda umene uli pakati pa chigwacho. Dzikolo linkaphatikizanso dera lonse lokwera kuyambira ku Medeba mpaka ku Diboni.
from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon and in the midst of the valley, and all the plains of Medeba, as far as Dibon;
10 Linkaphatikizanso mizinda yonse ya mfumu Sihoni ya Aamori, imene inkalamulira mu Hesiboni, mpaka ku malire a Aamoni.
and all the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, even to the borders of the sons of Ammon;
11 Dzikoli linaphatikizanso Giliyadi, dziko la anthu a ku Gesuri ndi Maaka, phiri lonse la Herimoni ndi dziko lonse la Basani mpaka ku Saleka.
and Gilead, as well as the borders of Geshur and Maacati, and all of mount Hermon, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah;
12 Linaphatikizanso dziko la mfumu Ogi ya ku Basani imene imalamulira kuchokera ku Asiteroti ndi Ederi. Iye yekha ndiye anali mfumu ya Arefaimu amene anapulumuka. Mose anali atawagonjetsa anthu amenewa ndi kuwathamangitsira kutali.
the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and Edrei, (he was among the last of the Rephaim). And Moses struck and destroyed them.
13 Koma Aisraeli sanathamangitse anthu a ku Gesuri ndi Maaka, kotero iwowa amakhalabe pakati pawo mpaka lero.
And the sons of Israel were not willing to destroy Geshur and Maacati, and so they have lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day.
14 Koma Mose sanapereke dziko kwa fuko la Alevi popeza zopereka zopatulika zimene anthu ankapereka kwa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli, ndizo zinali cholowa chawo monga Yehova anawalonjezera.
But to the tribe of Levi, he did not give a possession. Instead, the sacrifices and victims of the Lord, the God of Israel, these are his inheritance, just as he spoke to him.
15 Mose anapereka gawo lina la dziko kwa mabanja a fuko la Rubeni.
Therefore, Moses gave a possession to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to their families.
16 Dziko lawo linayambira ku Aroeri mzinda umene uli pafupi ndi chigwa cha Arinoni, mʼmudzi wa pakati pa chigwa, ndiponso dera lonse lokwera mpaka ku Medeba.
And their border was from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent, with all the flatlands that lead to Medeba;

and Heshbon, and all their villages, which are in the plains; also Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmeon,

20 Beti-Peori, ku matsitso a Pisiga, ndiponso Beti-Yesimoti.
Bethpeor, and the descending slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;
21 Dzikolo linaphatikizanso mizinda yonse ya ku madera okwera ndiponso dziko lonse la mfumu Sihoni ya Aamori amene ankalamulira kuchokera ku Hesiboni. Mose anamugonjetsa iye pamodzi ndi mafumu a Amidiyani awa: Evi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri ndi Reba, mafumu amene anagwirizana ndi Sihoni. Onsewa analamulira dzikolo ngati nduna za Sihoni.
and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down with the leaders of Midian: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the commanders of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.
22 Kuwonjezera pa amene anaphedwa ndi nkhondo, Aisraeli anapha ndi lupanga Balaamu mwana wa Beori, amene amachita za matsenga.
And the sons of Israel killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the seer, with the sword, along with the others who were slain.
23 Malire a fuko la Rubeni anali mtsinje wa Yorodani. Mizinda imeneyi pamodzi ndi midzi yake zinapatsidwa kwa mabanja a fuko la Rubeni kuti akhale cholowa chawo.
And the river Jordan was made the border of the sons of Reuben; this is the possession of the Reubenites, by their families, in cities and villages.
24 Dera limene Mose anapereka kwa mabanja a fuko la Gadi ndi ili:
And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and his sons, by their families, a possession, of which this is the division:
25 Dziko la Yazeri, mizinda yonse ya mu Giliyadi ndiponso theka la dziko la Amori kukalekezera ku Aroeri, kufupi ndi Raba;
the border of Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and one half part of the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer, which is opposite Rabbah;

and from Heshbon as far as Ramath, Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim as far as the borders of Debir;

also, in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the remaining part of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon; the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the furthest part of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan on the eastern side.
28 Mizinda ndi midzi imeneyi inali cholowa cha mabanja a fuko la Gadi.
This is the possession of the sons of Gad, by their families, in their cities and villages.
29 Mose anali atapereka kale gawo lina la dziko limeneli kwa theka la mabanja a fuko la Manase kuti likhale cholowa chawo.
He also gave, to the one half tribe of Manasseh and to his sons, a possession according to their families,
30 Derali linayambira ku Mahanaimu kuphatikizapo dziko lonse la mfumu Ogi, Mfumu ya ku Basani, pamodzi ndi mizinda 60 ya ku Yairi, ku Basaniko.
the beginning of which is this: from Mahanaim, all of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Og, the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty towns;
31 Derali linaphatikizanso theka la Giliyadi pamodzi ndi Asiteroti ndi Ederi, mizinda yayikulu ya mfumu Ogi wa Basani. Mizinda imeneyi inapatsidwa kwa mabanja a Makiri, mwana wa Manase kuti ikhale cholowa cha theka la ana a Makiri, malinga ndi mabanja awo.
and one half part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, to the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, to one half part of the sons of Machir, according to their families.
32 Umu ndi mmene Mose anagawira malo a mʼchigwa cha Yorodani, kummawa kwa Yeriko, ku tsidya kwa Yorodani.
Moses divided this possession, in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho on the eastern side.
33 Komatu Mose sanapereke malo kwa fuko la Levi. Mose anawawuza kuti zopereka zimene anthu ankapereka kwa Yehova ndizo cholowa chawo.
But to the tribe of Levi he did not give a possession. For the Lord, the God of Israel, is himself their possession, just as he spoke to him.
