Joshua 18
1 Kanyakla duto mag jo-Israel nochokore Shilo ma giguro Hemb Romo kanyo. Pinyno nobedo e bwo lochgi,
And all the sons of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and there they stationed the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And the land was subjected to them.
2 makmana ne pod nitiere dhout Israel abiriyo mane pod ok oyudo girkeni margi.
But there remained seven tribes of the sons of Israel which had not yet received their possessions.
3 Omiyo Joshua nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Ubiro rito nyaka karangʼo kapok uchako kawo mwandu mar piny mane Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach wuoneu, asemiyou?
And Joshua said to them: “For how long will you draw back in idleness, and not enter to possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you?
4 Yieruru ji adek koa e dhoot ka dhoot. Abiro oorogi mondo gidhi ginon pinyno kendo gindik malongʼo kuom pinyno, kaluwore gi pok mar ngʼato ka ngʼato. Bangʼe, to gidwog ira.
Select three men from each tribe, so that I may send them, and they may go forth and circle through the land, and may describe it according to the number of each multitude, and may bring back to me what they have written down.
5 Nyaka upog pinyni e migepe abiriyo. Jo-Juda nyaka dongʼ kargi man yo milambo kendo joka Josef bende odongʼ kargi man yo nyandwat.
Divide the land for yourselves into seven parts. Let Judah be its bounds on the southern side, and the house of Joseph to the north.
6 Bangʼ ka usendiko malongʼo kuom migepe abiriyo mar pinyno, to ukelnagiuru kae kendo abiro pogonugi gi ombulu e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.
The land that is in the middle, between these, write it down in seven parts. And you shall come to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord your God.
7 Kata kamano, jo-Lawi to ok noyud pok e dieru, nikech tichgi mar dolo ne Jehova Nyasaye e girkeni margi. To Gad, Reuben kod nus mar dhood Manase, to oseyudo girkeni margi e bath aora Jordan ma yo wuok chiengʼ nikech Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye nosemiyogi.”
But there is no portion among you for the Levites. Instead, the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan in the eastern region, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.”
8 E kinde mane jogi owuok mondo gidhi ginon piny, Joshua nomiyogi chik niya, “Dhiuru kendo utim nonro malongʼo mar pinyni kendo undik gik moko duto muyudo e iye. Bangʼe dwoguru ira kendo abiro miyou pok maru Shilo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.”
And when the men had risen up, so that they might go out to describe the land, Joshua instructed them, saying, “Circle through the land, and describe it, and return to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord, in Shiloh.”
9 Omiyo jogo nowuok modhi koluwo dier piny tir. Negindiko gigo duto mane giyudo e pinyno e kitabu, e dala ka dala, e migepe abiriyo kendo mi gidwogo ir Joshua e kambi man Shilo.
And so they went out. And surveying it, they divided it into seven parts, writing it in a book. And they returned to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.
10 Bangʼe Joshua nomiyogo pok margi Shilo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo gikanyono nopogo jo-Israel pinyno kaluwore gi dhoutgi.
And he cast lots before the Lord, at Shiloh, and he divided the land to the sons of Israel, in seven parts.
11 Pok mar joka Benjamin, notimne anywola ka anywola. Kuonde mane opognigo ne ni e kind Juda gi Josef.
And the first lot went to the sons of Benjamin, by their families, so that they would possess the land between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12 Tongʼ-gi ma yo nyandwat nochakore e aora Jordan, kochomo pewe man yo nyandwat mar Jeriko, mi oluwo piny godego kochomo yo podho chiengʼ nyaka ochomo e thim mar Beth Aven.
And their border toward the north was from the Jordan, continuing on, near the side of Jericho in the northern region, and from there, ascending toward the west to the mountains, and extending to the wilderness of Bethaven.
13 Koa kanyo nongʼado kodhi yo milambo mar pewe mag Luz (tiende ni, Bethel), modhi nyaka Ataroth Adar mantiere yo milambo mar Beth Horon Mamwalo.
And it continues to the south beside Luz, which is Bethel. And it descends into Ataroth-addar, at the mountain which is to the south of lower Beth-horon.
14 Koa e got momanyore gi Beth Horon mantiere yo milambo, tongʼno nogomo kochomo yo podho chiengʼ mar godno, mogik Kiriath Baal (tiende ni, Kiriath Jearim), ma en dala jo-Juda. Mano e tongʼ-gi ma yo podho chiengʼ.
And it turns aside, circling toward the sea, to the south of the mountain which looks out toward Beth-horon, toward the southwest. And its exits are toward Kiriath-baal, which is also called Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This is their region, toward the sea, in the west.
15 Tongʼ ma yo milambo nochakore oko mar Kiriath Jearim mantiere yo podho chiengʼ, kendo tongʼno nochopo nyaka thidhna mar pi Neftoa.
But to the south, the border goes on from the part of Kiriath-jearim toward the sea, and it continues as far as the Fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 Tongʼno nodhi nyaka e tiend got momanyore gi Holo mar Ben Hinom, kod yo nyandwat mar Holo mar Refaim. Nodhi nyime nyaka e Holo mar Hinom koluwo yo milambo mar pewe mar dala maduongʼ mar jo-Jebus kendo mochopo En Rogel.
And it descends to that part of the mountain which looks out toward the Valley of the sons of Hinnom. And it is opposite the northern region, in the furthest part of the Valley of the Rephaim. And it descends into Geennom, (that is, the Valley of Hinnom, ) near the side of the Jebusite toward the south. And it extends to the Fountain of Rogel,
17 Bangʼe nogomo kochiko yo nyandwat, modhi nyaka En Shemesh, kendo nyaka Geliloth, momanyore gi Adumim, kendo oridore kadhi piny nyaka Kit Bohan ma wuod Reuben.
crossing from there to the north, and going out to En-Shemesh, that is, to the Fountain of the Sun.
18 Nodhi nyime nyaka yo nyandwat mar pewe mag Beth Araba mochopo nyaka Araba.
And it passes through to the hills that are opposite the region of the Ascent of Adummim. And it descends to Abenboen, that is, so the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. And it continues on, at the northern side, to the plains. And it descends into the flatlands.
19 Eka nodhi kendo yo nyandwat mar pewe mag Beth Hogla mi owuok koa yo nyandwat mar dho Nam Chumbi, kama aora Jordan ochakore godo mantiere yo milambo. Mano e tongʼ-gi ma yo milambo.
And it advances before Beth-hoglah, to the north. And its exits are to the north, opposite the bay of the very salty sea, in the southern region at the end of the Jordan,
20 Aora Jordan ne en tongʼ mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ. Ma e kaka nopog ni anywola mar Benjamin pinygi.
which is its border to the east. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, with their borders all around, and by their families.
21 Mier madongo mane dhood Benjamin nitierego kaluwore gi anywolagi e magi: Jeriko, Beth Hogla, Emek Keziz,
And their cities were: Jericho and Beth-hoglah and the Abrupt Valley,
22 Beth Araba, Zemaraim, Bethel,
Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,
23 Avim, Para, Ofra,
and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,
24 Kefa Amoni, Ofni kod Geba. Giduto ne gin mier kod gwenge apar gariyo.
the town of Ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba: twelve cities, and their villages;
25 Mier mamoko ne gin: Gibeon, Rama, Beeroth,
Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth,
26 Mizpa, Kefira, Moza,
and Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah,
27 Rekem, Irpil, Tarala,
and Rekem, Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 Zela, Haelef, jo-Jebus (tiende ni, Jerusalem), Gibea kod Kiriath. Giduto ne gin mier kod gwenge maromo apar gangʼwen. Magi e mier mane opog ni dhood Benjamin.
and Zela, Haeleph, and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gibeah and Kiriath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families.
