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,
Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻa nau fakakātoa ʻakinautolu ʻi Sailo, ʻonau fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai. Pea naʻe fakavaivai ʻae fonua ʻi honau ʻao.
2 there were still seven tribes of Israel who had not yet received their inheritance.
Pea naʻe kei toe ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae faʻahinga ʻe fitu, ʻoku teʻeki maʻu honau tofiʻa.
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?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “ʻE tuku ʻafē hoʻomou fakatuai ʻo ʻikai ʻalu ke maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai?
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
Fili meiate kimoutolu ha tangata ʻe toko tolu mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē: pea te u fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, pea kenau tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua, ke fakahā ia ʻo fakatatau ki honau tofiʻa; pea tenau toe haʻu kiate au.
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.
Pea kenau vahe ia ki he vāhenga ʻe fitu: ʻe nofo ʻa Siuta ʻi honau tofiʻa ʻi he potu tonga, pea ke nofomaʻu ʻae fale ʻo Siosefa ʻi honau tofiʻa ʻi he tokelau.
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.
Ko ia ke mou fakaasiasi ʻae fonua ʻo vahe fitu, pea ʻomi kiate au hono tohi ʻo fakaʻilonga ki heni, koeʻuhi ke u fai ʻae talotalo kiate kimoutolu ʻi heni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.
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.”
Ka ko e kau Livai ʻoku ʻikai hanau tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu; he ko e ngāue ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻo Sihova ko honau tofiʻa: pea ko Kata mo Lupeni, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, kuo nau maʻu honau tofiʻa ʻituʻa Sioatani ʻi he potu hahake, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.”
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.”
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata, ʻo ʻalu atu; pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻalu ke tohitohi ʻae fonua, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo ʻosiki ʻae fonua, pea tohi ia, pea toe haʻu kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u fai ʻae talotalo kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Sailo.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau tangata ʻo mole ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua, ʻo tohi vahevahe ia ʻi he tohi ko e vahe fitu, ʻo [nau ]toe haʻu kia Siosiua ki he fakataha ki Sailo.
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.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua ʻae talotalo moʻonautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Sailo: pea naʻe vahevahe ʻi ai ʻe Siosiua ʻae fonua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi vahevahe.
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:
Pea ko e tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani naʻe ʻalu hake ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga: pea ko e ngataʻanga ʻo honau tofiʻa naʻe hoko atu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Siuta mo e fānau ʻa Siosefa.
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.
Pea ko honau ngataʻanga, ʻi he potu tokelau naʻe fai mei Sioatani; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae matafonua ki he potu ʻo Seliko ʻi he potu tokelau, pea ʻalu ʻo mole ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻi he potu lulunga: pea ko hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga kituaʻā naʻe ʻi he toafa ʻo Pete-ʻAveni.
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.
Pea mole hono ngataʻanga mei ai ʻo hanga ki Lusa, ki he potu ʻo Lusa ʻaia ko Peteli ʻi he potu tonga; pea ʻalu hifo ai hono ngataʻanga ki ʻAtaloti ata, ʻo ofi ki he moʻunga ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he potu tonga ki Pete-Holoni ʻi lalo.
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.
Pea naʻe fai atu mei ai ʻae ngataʻanga, ʻo ne ʻalu fakatakatakamilo ki he potu tahi ʻo hanga ki tonga, mei he moʻunga ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Pete-Holoni, ki tonga; pea naʻe aʻu atu hono ngataʻanga ki Kesa-Peali ʻaia ko Kesa-Sialimi, ko e kolo ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta: ko hono potu lulunga ia.
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.
Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ki tonga, naʻe fai mei he potu ʻo Kesa-Sialimi, pea ʻalu atu kituʻa ʻi he potu lulunga, ʻo mole atu ki he vai ʻo Nefitoa:
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo hono ngataʻanga ki he muileleu ʻoe moʻunga ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ʻaia ko e teleʻa ʻoe kakai lalahi ʻi he potu tokelau, pea ʻalu hifo ki he teleʻa ʻo Henomi, ki he potu ʻo Sepusi ʻi he potu tonga, pea ʻalu hifo ki Enilokeli.
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.
Pea naʻe fai atu mei he tokelau, ʻo ʻalu atu ki Eni-Semesi, pea ʻalu atu ʻo hanga ki Kililote, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu atu ki he hakeʻanga ki ʻAtumima, pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ki he maka ʻo Pohani ko e foha ʻo Lupeni,
18 Then it went on to the northern slope of Beth-arabah and went down into the valley.
Pea ʻalu ai pe ʻo hanga ki he potu ʻoku hangatonu atu ki ʻAlapa ki tokelau, pea ʻalu hifo ki ʻAlapa:
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai pe ʻae ngataʻanga ki he potu ʻo Pete-Hokila ki tokelau; pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoe matafonua, naʻe ʻi he potu ki kō fakatokelau ʻoe Tahi Kona ʻi he potu fakatonga ʻo Sioatani: ko hono ngataʻanga eni ʻoe potu ki tonga.
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.
Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻo ia ʻi he potu hahake ko Sioatani. Ko eni ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻi hono ngataʻanga fakatakamilo, ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
21 These were the cities of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
Pea ko eni, ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoe faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko Seliko, mo Pete-Hokila, mo e teleʻa ko Kesisi,
22 Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
Mo Pete-ʻAlapa, mo Sema-Leimi, mo Peteli,
23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
Mo ʻAvimi, mo Pala, mo Ofili,
24 Chephar-ammoni, Ophni, and Geba—twelve cities, along with their villages.
Mo Kifa ʻoe fānau ʻo ʻAmoni, mo Ofini, mo Kepa; ko e kolo ʻe hongofulu ma ua, mo honau ngaahi potu kakai:
25 Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
Ko Kipione, mo Lama, mo Piheloti,
26 Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah,
Mo Misipa, mo Kifila, mo Mosa,
27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
Mo Lekimi, mo Ilipeli, mo Talela.
28 Zelah, Haeleph, Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, and Kiriath-jearim —fourteen cities, along with their villages. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
Mo Sela, mo Elefi, mo Sepusi, ʻaia ko Selūsalema, mo Kipea, mo Keasa; ko e kolo, ʻe hongofulu ma fā, mo honau ngaahi potu kakai. Ko eni ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
