Joshua 18
1 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, came together at Shiloh: for they set vp the Tabernacle of the Congregation there, after the land was subiect vnto them.
Esi Israelviwo xɔ anyigba vɔ megbe la, wo katã wova kpe ta ɖe Silo, eye wotu Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ ɖe afi ma.
2 Nowe there remained among the children of Israel seuen tribes, to whom they had not deuided their inheritance.
Womema anyigba na Israel ƒe to adre haɖe o.
3 Therefore Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Howe long are ye so slacke to enter and possesse the land which the Lord God of your fathers hath giuen you?
Ale Yosua bia Israelviwo be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie mialala hafi anya ame siwo le anyigba si Yehowa, mia Mawu la na mi la dzi?
4 Giue from among you for euery tribe three men, that I may sende them, and that they may rise, and walke through the land, and distribute it according to their inheritance, and returne to me.
Mitia ame etɔ̃ tso to ɖe sia ɖe me, eye madɔ wo ɖa be woayi aɖatsa ŋku le afi siwo dzi míeɖu haɖe o la dzi, ale be woana manya woƒe lolome kple anyigba la ƒe lolome si to ɖe sia ɖe adi be yeaxɔ, ekema mate ŋu amae na mi.
5 And that they may deuide it vnto them into seuen parts, (Iudah shall abide in his coast at the South, and the house of Ioseph shall stand in their coastes at the North)
Mama anyigba la ɖe akpa adre me: Yuda ƒe viwo anɔ woƒe anyigba dzi le dziehe, eye Yosef ƒe viwo anɔ anyiehe.
6 Ye shall describe the land therefore into seuen partes, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lottes for you here before the Lord our God.
Miŋlɔ nu tso anyigba la ƒe akpa adreawo ŋu tsɔ vɛ nam. Ekema mada akɔ ɖe edzi le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ŋkume ale be manya ale si mama anyigba lae.
7 But the Leuites shall haue no part among you: for the Priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: also Gad and Reuben and halfe the tribe of Manasseh haue receiued their inheritance beyond Iorden Eastward, which Moses the seruant of the Lord gaue them.
Ke miɖo ŋku edzi be womama anyigba na Levitɔwo o, elabena Yehowa ƒe nunɔlawo wonye, eye woƒe nunɔladɔe nye woƒe domenyinu wɔnuku la. Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã magaxɔ anyigba aɖeke o, elabena woxɔ anyigba xoxo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe, afi si ŋugbe Mose do na wo.”
8 Then the men arose, and went their way: and Ioshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Depart, and goe through the land, and describe it, and returne to me, that I may here cast lottes for you before the Lord in Shiloh.
Ame siwo wotia la dze mɔ be woata anyigba la vɛ na Yosua ekema ate ŋu ama anyigba la na toawo to akɔdada le Yehowa ŋkume me.
9 So the men departed, and passed through the lande, and described it by cities into seuen partes in a booke, and returned to Ioshua into the campe at Shiloh.
Ame tiatiawo wɔ abe ale si woɖo na wo ene. Woma anyigba la ɖe akpa adre me, woŋlɔ du siwo nɔ mama ɖe sia ɖe me la da ɖi, eye wotrɔ va Yosua gbɔ le asaɖa la me le Silo.
10 Then Ioshua cast lottes for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Ioshua deuided the land vnto the children of Israel, according to their portions:
Le afi ma, le asaɖa la me le Silo la, Yehowa fia Yosua to akɔdada la me, ale si wòama anyigba lae na to vovovoawo.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Beniamin came foorth according to their families, and the cost of their lot lay betweene the children of Iudah, and the children of Ioseph.
Anyigba si wotsɔ na Benyamin ƒe viwo la nɔ Yuda ƒe viwo kple Yosef ƒe viwo ƒe anyigbawo dome.
12 And their coast on the Northside was from Iorden, and the border went vp to the side of Iericho on the Northpart, and went vp through the mountaines Westward, and the endes thereof are in the wildernesse of Beth-auen:
Benyamin ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba ƒe anyiehe dze egɔme tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la to, yi Yeriko ƒe anyiehe, to tonyigba la kple Bet Aven gbegbe la dzi.
13 And this border goeth along from thence to Luz, euen to the Southside of Luz (the same is Beth-el) and this border descendeth to Atroth-addar, neere the mount, that lyeth on the Southside of Beth-horon the nether.
Liƒo la tso afi ma ɖo ta dziehe yi Luz, afi si wogayɔna be Betel, heyi Atarot Ada, le Bet Horon ƒe tonyigba dzi le dziehe.
14 So the border turneth, and compasseth the corner of the Sea Southward, from the mount that lyeth before Beth-horon Southward: and the endes thereof are at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-iearim) a citie of the children of Iudah: this is the Westquarter.
Liƒo la trɔ tso afi ma ɖo ta dziehe, eto to si le Bet Horon kasa le dziehe hewu nu ɖe Kiriat Baal, du si wogayɔna be Kiriat Yearim, si nye Yuda ƒe viwo ƒe duwo dometɔ ɖeka la gbɔ. Esiae nye Benyamin ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba ƒe ɣetoɖoƒeliƒo.
15 And the Southquarter is from the ende of Kiriath-iearim, and this border goeth out Westward, and commeth to the fountaine of waters of Nephtoah.
Anyigba la ƒe anyigbemeliƒo tso Kiriat Yearim du la to, yi Efrɔn to la dzi, yi Naftoa vudo la gbɔ,
16 And this border descendeth at the ende of the mountaine, that lyeth before the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of the gyants Northward, and descendeth into the valley of Hinnom by the side of Iebusi Southwarde, and goeth downe to En-rogel,

17 And compasseth from the North, and goeth foorth to En-shemesh, and stretcheth to Geliloth, which is toward the going vp vnto Adummim, and goeth downe to the stone of Bohan the sonne of Reuben.
Tso En Rogel la, liƒo la ɖo ta anyiehe kple ɣedzeƒe gome yi En Semes kple Gelilot le Adumim ƒe akpa kemɛ. Etrɔ tso afi ma ɖo ta Bohan, Ruben ƒe vi ƒe kpe la gbɔ,
18 So it goeth along to the side ouer against the plaine Northward, and goeth downe into the plaine.
eye wòzɔ Bet Araba ƒe anyieheliƒo la ŋu heyi Araba.
19 After, this border goeth along to the side of Beth-hoglah Northward: and the endes thereof, that is, of the border, reach to the point of the salt Sea Northward, and to the ende of Iorden Southward: this is the Southcoast.
Egaɖo ta dziehe, dze le Bet Hogla ŋu, eye wòwu nu ɖe Dzeƒu la to. Teƒe siae nye Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe seƒe le dziehe gome.
20 Also Iorden is the border of it on the Eastside: this is the inheritance of the children of Beniamin by the coastes thereof rounde about according to their families.
Yɔdan tɔsisi lae nye anyigba sia ƒe ɣedzeƒeliƒo. Anyigba siae wotsɔ na Benyamin ƒe viwo.
21 Nowe the cities of the tribe of the children of Beniamin according to their families, are Iericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
