Joshua 18

1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel were assembled at Selo, and there they pitched the tabernacle of witness; and the land was subdued by 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 And the sons of Israel remained, [even] those who [had] not received their inheritance, seven tribes.

Hahoi torei Isarel miphunnaw Sari touh ni râw talai teh a hmu hoeh rah dawkvah,

3 And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long will ye be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our God 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 of yourselves three men of each tribe, and let them rise up and go through the land, and let them describe it before me, as it will be proper to divide it.

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 they came to him: and he divided to them seven portions, [saying], Juda shall stand to them a border southward, and the sons of Joseph shall stand to them northward.

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 And do ye divide the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, and I will give you a lot before 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 For the sons of Levi have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord [is] his portion; and Gad, and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasse, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.

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 And the men rose up and went; and Joshua charged the men who went to explore the land, saying, Go and explore the land, and come to me, and I will bring you forth a lot here before the Lord in Selo.

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 And they went, and explored the land: and they viewed it, and described it according to the cities, seven parts in a book, and brought [the book] to Joshua.

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 the lot for them in Selo before the Lord.

Joshua ni Shiloh kho dawk BAWIPA Cathut hmalah cungpam a khoe teh, Isarel miphunnaw lengkaleng talai a khuen pouh.

11 And the lot of the tribe of Benjamin came forth first according to their families: and the borders of their lot came forth between the children of Juda and the children of 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 And their borders were northward: the borders shall go up from Jordan behind Jericho northward, and shall go up to the mountain westward, and the issue of it shall be Baethon of Mabdara.

Talai kâkhuennae teh, atunglah Jordan palang hoi kamtawng teh, Jeriko kho atunglah kanîloumlah mon dawk, a cei teh, Bethaven ramke totouh a pha.

13 And the borders will go forth thence to Luz, behind Luz, from the south of it; this is Baethel: and the borders shall go down to Maatarob Orech, to the hill country, which is southward of Baethoron the lower.

14 And the borders shall pass through and proceed to the part that looks toward the sea, on the south, from the mountain in front of Baethoron southward, and its termination shall be at Cariath-Baal, this is Cariath-Jarin, a city of the children of Juda; this is the part toward the west.

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 And the south side on the part of Cariath-Baal; and the borders shall go across to Gasin, to the fountain of the water of Naphtho.

Akalah ramri teh, Kiriath Jearim kho poutnae koehoi kanîloum koe atunglah, Nephtoah tuiphuek koe a pha.

16 And the borders shall extend down on one side, this is in front of the forest of Sonnam, which is on the side of Emec Raphain northward, and it shall come down to Gaeenna behind Jebusai southward: it shall come down to the fountain of 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 And [the borders] shall go across to the fountain of Baethsamys:

18 and shall proceed to Galiloth, which is in front by the going up of Aethamin; and they shall come down to the stone of Baeon of the sons of Ruben; and shall pass over behind Baetharaba northward, and shall go down to the borders behind the sea northward.

19 And the termination of the borders shall be at the creek of the salt sea northward to the side of Jordan southward: these are their southern borders.

Bethhoglah kho atunglah a cei teh, Palawi tuipui atunglah Jordan tui dawk a pout. Hetheteh akalae ramri lah ao.

20 And Jordan shall be their boundary on the east: this [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, these [are] their borders round about according to their families.

Jordan tui teh kanîtholae ramri lah ao. Hetheteh, Benjaminnaw ni imthung lahoi râw lah a coe awh e ram doeh.

21 And the cities of the children of Benjamin according to their families [were] Jericho, and Bethagaeo, and the Amecasis,
