< 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.
Ọgbakọ Izrel niile zukọtara na Shaịlo maa ụlọ nzute nʼebe ahụ. Nʼoge a, ala ahụ niile bịara nʼokpuru ọchịchị ndị Izrel,
2 Nowe there remained among the children of Israel seuen tribes, to whom they had not deuided their inheritance.
ma e nwekwara ebo Izrel asaa a na-ekenyebeghị ala nke ha dịka ihe nketa.
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?
Ya mere, Joshua jụrụ ụmụ Izrel ajụjụ sị ha, “Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-eche tupu unu ekpochapụ ndị niile bi nʼala a, inweta ala Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu nyere unu?
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.
Họpụtanụ ndị ikom atọ site nʼebo ọbụla, ndị m ga-eziga ka ha gaa jegharịa nʼala niile ahụ, dee ya nʼakwụkwọ nkọwa otu ihe nketa ọbụla si dị, nʼakụkụ ya niile. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-alọghachikwute m.
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)
Ha ga-eke ala ahụ fọdụrụ ụzọ asaa. Ma ebo Juda ga-anọgide nʼala ha nʼakụkụ ndịda, ụmụ ụmụ Josef kwa ga-anọgide nʼala ha nʼakụkụ ugwu.
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.
Unu depụtachaa ụzọ asaa ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, werenụ ya bịakwute m ka m feere unu nza nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ịchọpụta ebo ga-eketa akụkụ ọbụla nʼala ahụ.
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.
Ma ndị Livayị agaghị eketa ala ọbụla nʼetiti unu, nʼihi na ihe nketa ha bụ ọrụ nchụaja ha na-arụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ebo Gad, na Ruben, na ọkara ebo Manase agaghị enwetakwa oke ọzọ, nʼihi na ha anarala ihe nketa nke ha nʼofe Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, ebe Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị kwere ha na nkwa na ha ga-ebi.”
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.
Ya mere, mgbe ndị ikom nledo ahụ gawara ijegharị nʼala ahụ niile, Joshua gwara ha okwu sị, “Jeenụ jegharịa nʼala ahụ niile. Depụtakwanụ otu unu chere a ga-esi kee ya nʼakwụkwọ. Mgbe unu lọtara aga m anọ nʼebe a bụ Shaịlo jụta Onyenwe anyị ase site nʼife nza, chọpụta ala nke ebo ọbụla ga-eketa.”
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.
Ndị ikom ahụ gabigara ala ahụ, depụta ya nʼakwụkwọ, nʼobodo nʼobodo dịka o si dị nʼoke asaa. Mgbe ha mesịrị nke a, ha lọghachikwutere Joshua nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu nʼime Shaịlo.
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:
Joshua feere ha nza na Shaịlo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ keere ndị Izrel ala ahụ dịka ebo ha si dị.
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.
Ndị mbụ e kenyere ala site nʼife nza bụ ebo Benjamin dịka ikwu ha si dị. Ala niile e kenyere ebo Benjamin bụ nke dị nʼetiti ala e nyere ebo Juda na Josef.
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:
Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ugwu sitere nʼosimiri Jọdan ruo nʼakụkụ ugwu Jeriko. Nʼọdịda anyanwụ o sitere na Jeriko ruo ala ugwu ugwu ahụ niile, ruokwa nʼọzara Bet-Aven.
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.
Oke ala ahụ sitekwara nʼakụkụ ndịda ruo nʼakụkụ Luz (ebe a na-akpọkwa Betel), ruokwa Atarọt-Ada, nke dị nʼakụkụ ndịda ugwu dị na mgbada Bet-Horon.
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.
Site nʼugwu ahụ chere Bet-Horon ihu nʼakụkụ ndịda, oke ala ahụ gbadara ndịda gbasoro akụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ pụta na Kiriat Baal, ya bụ, Kiriat Jearim, otu nʼime obodo ndị Juda. Nke a bụ oke ala ahụ nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
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.
Oke ala ha na ndịda sitere na nsọtụ akụkụ Kiriat Jearim rute nʼisi iyi mmiri Neftoa.
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,
O sitekwara nʼebe ahụ gbada ruo na ndịda ugwu ahụ nke chere ihu na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, nʼakụkụ ugwu Ndagwurugwu nke Refaim. O sitekwara nʼebe ahụ gafee ruokwa nʼakụkụ ndịda ugwu obodo ndị Jebus, ruo 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.
Site nʼEn Rogel oke ala ahụ gbatịrị ruo En-Shemesh, gafee ruo Gelilọt, nke chere ihu na nrigo ugwu Adumim. O si nʼebe ahụ ruo na nkume Bohan, nwa Ruben.
18 So it goeth along to the side ouer against the plaine Northward, and goeth downe into the plaine.
O sitere nʼebe ahụ gafee nʼakụkụ ugwu Bet-Araba gbadata rute nʼAraba,
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.
ọ gafere gbatịrị ruo nʼakụkụ Bet-Hogla na mgbago ugwu, pụta nʼakụkụ ugwu nke osimiri Nnu, nke bụ nʼakụkụ ndịda ọnụ mmiri osimiri Jọdan. Nke a bụ oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ndịda.
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.
Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ bụ osimiri Jọdan. Ndị a bụ ihe nketa ụmụ Benjamin, dịka oke ala ya niile si dị gburugburu, dị ka ikwu ya niile si dị nʼakụkụ niile.
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,
Ndị a bụ obodo e kenyere ebo Benjamin, dịka ikwu ha si dị: Jeriko, Bet-Hogla, Emek Keziz,
22 And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,

24 And Chephar, Ammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba: twelue cities with their villages.
Kefa Amoni, Ofni, Geba, obodo iri na abụọ na obodo nta ha ndị ọzọ.
