Joshua 18

1 Israel ca rhoek loh rhaengpuei la Shiloh ah boeih tingtun uh. Te ah te tingtunnah dap te a khueh uh tih amamih mikhmuh ah khohmuen te a khoem.

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.

2 Tedae Israel ca rhoek khuikah koca parhih loh amamih kah rho a dang mueh la om pueng.

But there remained among the sons of Israel, to whom had not been apportioned their inheritance, —seven tribes.

3 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek taengah Joshua loh, “Na pa rhoek kah BOEIPA Pathen loh nangmih taengah m'paek khohmuen te dang ham neh pang ham la mevaeng due lae na tiing uh eh.

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?

4 Namamih ham te koca khuikah hlang pathum ah tuek uh lamtah amih te ka tueih eh. Te vaengah thoo uh saeh lamtah khohmuen te hip saeh. Te phoeiah a kawng te amamih kah rho tarhing la daek uh saeh lamtah kai taengla ha kun uh saeh.

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.

5 Khoyo te parhih la boe uh lamtah tuithim kah amah khorhi ah Judah loh om saeh. Tlangpuei kah amah khorhi ah Joseph imko om van saeh.

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,

6 Te phoeiah khohmuen kawng nangmih loh khoyo parhih la na daek uh te ka taengla hang kuen uh. Te vaengah mamih kah BOEIPA Pathen mikhmuh ah hmulung te nangmih ham ka thuinuet eh.

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.

7 Tedae Levi ham khoyo tah nangmih lakli ah nuet boel saeh. BOEIPA khosoihbi te anih kah rho la om coeng. Gad, Reuben neh Manasseh koca hlangvang long tah BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh amih taengah a paek Jordan khocuk kah rhalvangan ah ni amamih kah rho te a dang uh coeng,” a ti nah.

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.

8 Te dongah hlang rhoek te thoo uh tih a caeh uh vaengah khohmuen kawng daek ham aka cet rhoek te Joshua loh a uen tih, “Cet uh lamtah khohmuen te hip uh laeh. A kawng te daek uh lamtah kai taengla ham mael puei uh. Te vaengah Shiloh kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah he hmulung te nangmih ham ka yuek eh?,” a ti nah.

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.

9 Te vaengah hlang rhoek te cet uh tih kho takuem la pawk uh. Khopuei rhoek te cabu dongah khoyo parhih la a daek uh tih Shiloh rhaehhmuen kah Joshua taengla mael uh.

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.

10 Te dongah Shiloh kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah amih ham hmulung te Joshua loh a yueh pah tih amamih boelnah bangla Israel ca rhoek ham khohmuen te Joshua loh pahoi a tael pah.

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.

11 Benjamin ca rhoek te amah koca kah hmulung a naan vaengah amah huiko tarhing ah amih kah khorhi te hmulung loh Judah ca rhoek neh Joseph ca rhoek laklo ah a nan.

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.

12 Amih kah khorhi te Jordan kah tlangpuei kaep ah om. Tlangpuei ah Jerikho tlanghlaep ah khorhi te luei tih khotlak tlang la yoeng. Te phoeiah a hmoi te cet cet tih Bethaven khosoek la pawk.

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;

13 Te lamkah khorhi te Luz la, Luz tlanghlaep tuithim la, Bethel la kat tih tlang ah Atarothaddar khorhi, tuithim ah Bethhoron yung la suntla thuk.

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;

14 Te phoeiah khorhi aka hooi te tlang lamkah tuithim tuipuei kil a hil tih tuithim kah Bethhoron imdan la, cet, cet bal tih a hmoi loh tuipuei kil, Judah ca rhoek kah khopuei Kiriathbaal Kiriathjearim la pawk.

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.

15 Tuithim saa ah Kiriathjearim ngoe lamkah te tuipuei rhi ah a khuen tih Nephtoah tuisih tui ah pawk.

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;

16 Te phoeiah khorhi kolrhawk rhaldan ah tlang yung la, Rapha kol ah tlangpuei la suntla tih tuithim ah Jebusi tlanghlaep kolrhawk la a rhum phoeiah Enrogel la pawk.

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;

17 Te phoeiah tlangpuei la hooi uh tih Enshemesh te a paan phoeiah Adummim kham dan kah Geliloth la pawk tih Reuben koca rhoek kah Bohan lungnu la suntla thuk.

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;

18 Tlangpuei ah kolken rhaldan kah tlanghlaep la cet bal tih kolken la pawk.

and passeth along unto the side over against the Arabah, northward, —and goeth down toward the Arabah;

19 Te phoeiah khorhi te tlangpuei ah Bethhoglah tlanghlaep la kat. Khorhi kah a hmoi a hmoi tah tlangpuei kah lungkaeh tuili longken ah khaw, tuithim rhi ah khaw Jordan tuikung ah om phai.

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.

20 Jordan loh khothoeng ben ah Benjamin koca rhoek kah rho te amah cako ham rhilung neh a suem pah.

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.

21 Te dongah Benjamin ca rhoek kah amah cako ah, Jerikho, Bethhoglah, Emekkeziz,

So then the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, are, —Jericho and Beth-hoglah, and Emekkeziz,

22 Bethkolken, Zemaraim, Bethel,

and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

23 Avim, Parah, Ophrah,

and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,

24 Kepharammoni, Kepharammoni neh Ophni, Geba, khopuei hlai nit neh amih vangca rhoek,

and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni, and Geba, —twelve cities, with their villages:

25 Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,

Gibeon and Ramah, and Beeroth,

26 Mizpeh, Kephirah, Mozah,

and Mizpeh and Chephirah, and Mozah,

27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah te amih koca rhoek kah khopuei la om.

and Rekem and Irpeel, and Taralah,

28 Zelahhaeleph neh Jebusi, Jerusalem, Gibeah khorha kah, khopuei hlai li neh vangca rhoek te Benjamin koca rhoek neh amah cako kah rho la om.

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.
