Joshua 18
1 Kanyakla duto mag jo-Israel nochokore Shilo ma giguro Hemb Romo kanyo. Pinyno nobedo e bwo lochgi,
The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.
2 makmana ne pod nitiere dhout Israel abiriyo mane pod ok oyudo girkeni margi.
Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
3 Omiyo Joshua nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Ubiro rito nyaka karangʼo kapok uchako kawo mwandu mar piny mane Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach wuoneu, asemiyou?
Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given 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.
Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; then they shall come 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.
They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on 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.
You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots 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.”
However, the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave 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.”
The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here 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.
The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book. They came 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.
Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD. There Joshua divided the land to 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.
The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out 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.
Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended 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.
The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (also called Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.
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.
The border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ended at Kiriath Baal (also called Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west quarter.
15 Tongʼ ma yo milambo nochakore oko mar Kiriath Jearim mantiere yo podho chiengʼ, kendo tongʼno nochopo nyaka thidhna mar pi Neftoa.
The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring 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.
The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En 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.
It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18 Nodhi nyime nyaka yo nyandwat mar pewe mag Beth Araba mochopo nyaka Araba.
It passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the 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.
The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.
20 Aora Jordan ne en tongʼ mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ. Ma e kaka nopog ni anywola mar Benjamin pinygi.
The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.
