Joshua 18

1 Kanyakla duto mag jo-Israel nochokore Shilo ma giguro Hemb Romo kanyo. Pinyno nobedo e bwo lochgi,

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up there the tabernacle of the congregation. And the land was subdued before them.

2 makmana ne pod nitiere dhout Israel abiriyo mane pod ok oyudo girkeni margi.

And there remained among the children of Israel, that had not yet received their inheritance, seven tribes.

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 unto the children of Israel, How long will ye show yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land, which the Lord the God of your fathers hath 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.

Furnish for yourselves three men for each tribe; and I will send them out, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come again to me.

5 Nyaka upog pinyni e migepe abiriyo. Jo-Juda nyaka dongʼ kargi man yo milambo kendo joka Josef bende odongʼ kargi man yo nyandwat.

And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall remain on his boundary at the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain on their boundary at 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.

But you shall make a description of the land in seven parts, and bring it hither to me; and I will cast the lot for you here, before the Lord our 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.”

For to the Levites there is no portion among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance; and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Menasseh have already received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, at the east, 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 the men arose, and went away; and Joshua charged those that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and return again to me; and here will I cast the lot for you 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 the men went and passed through the land, and described it according to the cities in seven parts in a book; and they came again 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 Joshua cast the lot for them in Shiloh before the Lord; and Joshua divided there the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.

11 Pok mar joka Benjamin, notimne anywola ka anywola. Kuonde mane opognigo ne ni e kind Juda gi Josef.

And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the boundary of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children 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 boundary was on the north side [starting] from the Jordan; and the boundary went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; and its terminations were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

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 the boundary went over from there toward Luz, to the south side of Luz, which is Beth-el; and the boundary descended to 'Atroth-addar, upon the mount that is on the south side of the lower Beth-choron.

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 the border extended [thence], and fetched a compass to the west side, to the south of the mount that is before Beth-choron at the south; and its terminations were at Kiryath-ba'al, which is Kiryath-ye'arim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west side.

15 Tongʼ ma yo milambo nochakore oko mar Kiriath Jearim mantiere yo podho chiengʼ, kendo tongʼno nochopo nyaka thidhna mar pi Neftoa.

And the south side commenced from the end of Kiryath-ye'arim, and the boundary went out on the west, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoach:

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 the boundary went down to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of Rephaim at the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusi on the south, and descended to 'Enrogel,

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.

And extended northwardly, and went forth to 'En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, and descended to Eben-bohan the son of Reuben,

18 Nodhi nyime nyaka yo nyandwat mar pewe mag Beth Araba mochopo nyaka Araba.

And passed along on this side opposite to 'Arabah northward; and went down unto 'Arabah;

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 the boundary passed along to the side of Beth-choglah northward; and the terminations of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south boundary.

20 Aora Jordan ne en tongʼ mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ. Ma e kaka nopog ni anywola mar Benjamin pinygi.

And the Jordan bounded it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its boundaries round about, according to their families.

21 Mier madongo mane dhood Benjamin nitierego kaluwore gi anywolagi e magi: Jeriko, Beth Hogla, Emek Keziz,

Now these were the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families, Jericho, and Beth-choglah, and 'Emekkeziz,

22 Beth Araba, Zemaraim, Bethel,

And Beth-ha'arabah, and Zemarayim, and Beth-el,

23 Avim, Para, Ofra,

And Avvim, and Parah, and 'Ophrah,

24 Kefa Amoni, Ofni kod Geba. Giduto ne gin mier kod gwenge apar gariyo.

And Kephar-ha'ammonah, and 'Ophni, and Geba': twelve cities with their villages.

25 Mier mamoko ne gin: Gibeon, Rama, Beeroth,

Gib'on, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

26 Mizpa, Kefira, Moza,

And Mizpeh, and Kephirah, and Mozah,

27 Rekem, Irpil, Tarala,

And Rekem, and Yirpeel, 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', Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gib'ath, and Kiryath: fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
