< Joshua 13 >
1 Many years had passed by, and Joshua had grown old. The Lord spoke to him, saying, “You're now an old man, but there's still a great deal of land still to be taken.
Yosua tsi heku amegã azɔ, eye Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Fifia, èzu amegãɖeɖi, evɔ dukɔ geɖewo gali siwo dzi wòle be miaɖu.
2 This is the remaining land: the territory of all the Philistines and all the Geshurites,

3 from the Shihur River on the border with Egypt north to the border of Ekron—all of which is counted as Canaanite but comes under the five Philistine lords of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. In addition there's the land of the Avvites
si tso Sixor tɔsisi la gbɔ le Egipte ƒe liƒo dzi heyi anyiehe ke, elabena wobu anyigba si va tɔ Ekron ƒe liƒo la abe Kanaantɔwo ƒe anyigba ene. Filistitɔwo ƒe fiawo nɔ Gaza, Asdod, Askelon, Gat kple Ekron; hekpe ɖe Avitɔwo ŋu

5 as well as the land of the Gebalites and the Lebanon area from the town of Baalgad to the slopes of Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath,
Gebalitɔwo ƒe anyigba kple Lebanonyigba blibo la ɖo ta ɣedzeƒe, tso Baal Gad, si le Hermon to la ƒe anyigbeme heyi Hamat mɔ la nu.
6 and the those who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, including all the land of the Sidonians. I myself will drive them out ahead of the Israelites. Just allocate the land to Israel for them to own, as I have commanded you.
“Sidontɔwo, ame siwo le tonyigba la dzi le Lebanon towo kple Misrefat Maim dome la ƒe anyigba hã le eme. Mele klalo be manya dukɔ siawo katã ɖa le Israel dukɔ la ŋgɔ, eya ta bu anyigba siawo katã abe mia tɔwo ene,
7 So divide this land among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh for them to own.”
eye nàmae na Israel ƒe to asiekɛawo kple Manase ƒe to afã la abe ale si meɖo na wò ene.”
8 The other half of the tribe of Manasseh, and the tribes of Reuben and Gad, had already received their land grant on the east side of the Jordan, as allotted to them by Moses, the servant of the Lord.
Manase ƒe to la ƒe afã kple Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo xɔ woƒe domenyinu le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe xoxo, elabena Mose tsɔ anyigba sia na wo.
9 It stretched from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon valley, from the town in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau of Medeba, up to Dibon;
Woƒe anyigba la nye teƒe si tso Areor, le Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe balime ƒe toga kple du siwo le balime la, to Medeba ƒe togbɛnyigba dzi yi Dibon.
10 and all the towns that belonged to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, up to the border with the Ammonites.
Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, ame si ƒe fiadu nye Hesbon la ƒe duwo hã nɔ anyigba la me, eye wòtso eme yi keke Amon ƒe liƒowo dzi.
11 In addition it included Gilead, the land of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all of Bashan as far as Salecah,
Gilead kple anyigba si nye Gesuritɔwo kple Makatitɔwo tɔ kple Hermon to la, Basan to la kple Saleka du la
12 as well as all the land of the kingdom of Og of Bashan, who had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was one of the last of the Rephaites. Moses had defeated them and driven them out.
kple Ɔg, Basan fia, ame si ɖu fia le Astarot kple Edrei la ƒe anyigba. Eyae nye Refaimtɔ mamlɛtɔ, elabena Mose ho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu, eye wònya wo ɖa le anyigba la dzi.
13 But the Israelites had not driven out the Geshurites or the Maacathites, who still live among them to this very day.
Ke Israelviwo menya Gesuritɔwo alo Makatitɔwo o, eya ta wogale Israelviwo dome va se ɖe egbe.
14 Moses did not allocate any land for the Levites to own. Instead they were allotted the offerings made by fire to the Lord, the God of Israel, as the Lord had promised them.
Ale si woma anyigba na Israel ƒe to vovovoawo la yi ale: Levitɔwo: Mose mena anyigba aɖeke Levitɔwo o, ke boŋ etsɔ vɔsanu siwo ameawo atsɔ vɛ na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la na wo.
15 This was the land that Moses allotted to the tribe of Reuben, by families:
Ruben ƒe to: Mose na anyigba Ruben ƒe to la ɖe ƒome siwo le to la me la ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu.
16 Their territory stretched from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon valley, from the town in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau of Medeba;
Ruben ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba tso Aroer le Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe balime ƒe toga, dze le Arnon du si le balime la ƒe titina la ŋu va dze le Medeba ƒe togbɛwo ŋu.
17 Heshbon and all associated towns on the plateau—Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
Du siwo nɔ afi ma la woe nye Hesbon kple du bubu siwo le gbadzaƒe: Dibon, Bamɔt Baal, Bet Baal Meon,

20 Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth-jeshimoth—
Bet Peor, Bet Yesimot kple Pisga to la kɔgo.
21 all the towns of the plateau and all the kingdom of Sihon, the Amorite king, who ruled in Heshbon. He was defeated by Moses, as well as the Midianite leaders Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, princes who lived in the kingdom and who were allied to Sihon.
Du siwo nɔ togbɛwo dzi kple Fia Sixɔn ƒe fiaɖuƒe me la hã nɔ Ruben ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba dzi. Sixɔn nye Amoritɔwo ƒe fia si nɔ Hesbon. Mose wu Fia Sixɔn kple Midian fia bubu siawo: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur kple Reba.
22 At the same time the Israelites killed Balaam, son of Beor, the fortune-teller, along with the others who were slaughtered.
Israelviwo hã wu afakala Balaam si nye Beor ƒe vi la hã.
23 The Jordan was the boundary for the tribe of Reuben. This was the land, the towns and the villages, allotted to the tribe of Reuben, by families.
Yɔdan tɔsisi lae nye Ruben ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba la ƒe liƒo le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.
24 This was the land that Moses allotted to the tribe of Gad, by families:
Gad ƒe to: Mose na anyigba Gad ƒe viwo ƒe to la ɖe ƒome siwo le to la me ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu.
25 Their territory was Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, and half of the land of the Ammonites up to Aroer, near Rabbah;
Yazer kple Gilead ƒe duwo katã kple Amonyigba ƒe afã heyi Aroer le Raba gbɔ nɔ Gad ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba la me.
26 stretching from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the Debir region.
Anyigba la gatso Hesbon yi Ramat Mizpa kple Betonim, eye wògatso Mahanaim yi Lo Debir.
27 In the Jordan valley lay Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, king of Heshbon. The boundary ran along the Jordan up to the bottom end of the sea of Kinnereth and then ran east.
Teƒe siwo le anyigba sia me le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe balime la woe nye: Bet Haram, Bet Nimra, Sukɔt, Zafɔn kple Fia Sixɔn, ame si nɔ Hesbon la ƒe anyigba mamlɛa. Anyigba la ƒe liƒo le ɣetoɖoƒe lae nye, Yɔdan tɔsisi la yi anyigbeme va ɖo keke Galilea ƒu la ƒe dzigbeme.
28 This was the land, the towns and the villages, allotted to the tribe of Gad, by families.
Esiawoe nye du siwo wotsɔ na ƒome siwo le Gad ƒe to la me abe woƒe domenyinu ene.
29 This was the land that Moses allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is half of the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh, by families:
Mose na anyigba Manase viwo ƒe to la ƒe afã le woƒe ƒomewo nu.
30 Their territory stretched from Manahaim through the whole of Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, and all the towns of Jair in Bashan—sixty in all.
Ena anyigba wo tso Mahanaim. Basan blibo si nye Fia Ɔg ƒe fiaɖuƒe kple Yair kple Basan ƒe du blaade nɔ to sia ƒe anyigba me.
31 Also included was Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the towns of king Og in Bashan. This was the land allotted to the descendants of Machir, son of Manasseh, for half of them, by families.
Wotsɔ Gilead ƒe afã, Astarot kple Edrei (du siwo le Ɔg, Basan fia ƒe fiaɖuƒe me), na Makir, Manase ƒe viwo ƒe to la ƒe afã. Esiawoe nye anyigba siwo wotsɔ na Manase ƒe vi Makir ƒe to la ƒe afã le woƒe ƒome nu.
32 These were the allocations that Moses made when he was in the plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan, east of Jericho.
Aleae Mose ma anyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe, afi si ameawo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖo ɣe ma ɣi le Yeriko gbɔ.
33 However, Moses did not allot any land to the Levites, for the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised them that he would be their allocation.
Mose mena anyigba aɖeke Levitɔwo o, elabena abe ale si wòɖe eme na woe ene la, Yehowa Mawu lae nye woƒe domenyinu, Yehowa koe nye nu si wohiã. Yehowa ŋutɔ akpɔ wo ta abe ale si dze ene.
