Joshua 18
1 Then the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. And though the land was subdued before them,
Isarel miphun tamimaya abuemlah ni Shiloh kho dawk a kamkhueng awh teh, tamimaya kamkhueng nahane lukkareiim hah a sak awh. Ahnimae hmalah ram pueng teh a kârahnoum awh.
2 there were still seven tribes of Israel who had not yet received their inheritance.
Hahoi torei Isarel miphunnaw Sari touh ni râw talai teh a hmu hoeh rah dawkvah,
3 So Joshua said to the Israelites, “How long will you put off entering and possessing the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
Joshua ni nangmae mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni na poe awh e talai teh, nangmouh ni lat laipalah nâ sittouh maw na o awh han rah.
4 Appoint three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to survey the land and map it out, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me
Nangmouh thung dawk miphun buet touh dawk tami kathum touh rawi nateh, kai ni ka tha han. Ahnimouh ni ram tangkuem dawk a cei vaiteh, râw coe han kamcu e patetlah, a thut awh hnukkhu, kai koe bout a tho han.
5 and divide the land into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their territory in the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory in the north.
Ahnimouh ni ram teh Sari touh lah a khuen awh han. Judah miphunnaw ni akalah amamae hmuen koe ao han. Joseph miphunnaw ni atunglah amamae hmuen koe ao han.
6 When you have mapped out the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots for you here in the presence of the LORD our God.
Ram teh sari touh lah a khuen awh hnukkhu, ram kong na thut e hah kai koe na sin vaiteh maimae BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah nangmouh hane cungpam rayu han.
7 The Levites, however, have no portion among you, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the LORD. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received the inheritance that Moses the servant of the LORD gave them beyond the Jordan to the east.”
Levihnaw teh nangmouh hoi kâkalawt e buet touh hai lat mahoeh. BAWIPA Cathut e vaihma thaw teh ahnimae râw lah ao. Gadmi phun, Reuben miphun, Manasseh miphun tangawn ni Jordan palang kanîtholah Cathut e san Mosi ni a poe e patetlah râw talai teh a coe toe telah Isarelnaw koe a dei pouh.
8 As the men got up to go out, Joshua commanded them to map out the land, saying, “Go and survey the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will cast lots for you here in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD.”
Hote taminaw ni a cei teh, Joshua ni hai ram thung pueng dawk cet awh nateh, be na tuet hoi kai koe bout tho awh. Shiloh kho vah BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah nangmouh hanelah, cungpam khoe han telah ram kong thut hanelah, ka cet e taminaw hah lawk a thui e patetlah,
9 So the men departed and went throughout the land, mapping it city by city into seven portions. Then they returned with the document to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.
ahnimouh teh, ram thung pueng dawk a cei awh teh khopuinaw kaawm e patetlah, hmuen sari touh lah a khuen awh hnukkhu cauk dawk a thut awh teh, Joshua onae koe Shiloh bout a tho awh.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in the presence of the LORD at Shiloh, where he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their divisions.
Joshua ni Shiloh kho dawk BAWIPA Cathut hmalah cungpam a khoe teh, Isarel miphunnaw lengkaleng talai a khuen pouh.
11 The first lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Benjamin. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:
Benjamin miphunnaw ni cungpam a rayu awh teh, imthung lahoi a coe awh e talai teh Judah miphunnaw hoi Joseph miphunnaw a rahak dawk a bo awh.
12 On the north side their border began at the Jordan, went up past the northern slope of Jericho, headed west through the hill country, and came out at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
Talai kâkhuennae teh, atunglah Jordan palang hoi kamtawng teh, Jeriko kho atunglah kanîloumlah mon dawk, a cei teh, Bethaven ramke totouh a pha.
13 From there the border crossed over to the southern slope of Luz (that is, Bethel) and went down to Ataroth-addar on the hill south of Lower Beth-horon.
Hahoi akalah a cei teh, Bethel kho teng dawk a cei teh, Bethhoron kho, akalah kaawm e mon rahim Atarathaddar kho dawk a pha hoi teh,
14 On the west side the border curved southward from the hill facing Beth-horon on the south and came out at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the western side.
Hote mon dawk hoi a tâco teh, tuipui akalah Judah miphun a onae Kiriath Jearim kho tie Kiriathbaal, kho dawk a tâco. Hetheteh, kanîloumlae ramri lah ao.
15 On the south side the border began at the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim and extended westward to the spring at the Waters of Nephtoah.
Akalah ramri teh, Kiriath Jearim kho poutnae koehoi kanîloum koe atunglah, Nephtoah tuiphuek koe a pha.
16 Then it went down to the foot of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim and ran down the Valley of Hinnom toward the southern slope of the Jebusites and downward to En-rogel.
Hinnom e capa e tanghling e hmalah, Rephaim tanghling atunglah kaawm e mon rahim lah a tho teh, Jebusit kho akalah Hinnom tanghling koe lah, Enrogel kho koe lah,
17 From there it curved northward and proceeded to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth facing the Ascent of Adummim, and continued down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
atunglah atengvah, Enshemesh kho koe lah, Adummin monrui namran Geliloth kho koe lah, Reuben e capa Bohan e talung koe lahoi a cathuk teh,
18 Then it went on to the northern slope of Beth-arabah and went down into the valley.
Arabah kho atunglah, kamlang a cei teh, Arabah kho lah a pha.
19 The border continued to the northern slope of Beth-hoglah and came out at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan. This was the southern border.
Bethhoglah kho atunglah a cei teh, Palawi tuipui atunglah Jordan tui dawk a pout. Hetheteh akalae ramri lah ao.
20 On the east side the border was the Jordan. These were the borders around the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
Jordan tui teh kanîtholae ramri lah ao. Hetheteh, Benjaminnaw ni imthung lahoi râw lah a coe awh e ram doeh.
21 These were the cities of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
