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.
Ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakuŋŋaanira mu Siiro ne basimba eyo Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Ensi yali mu mikono gyabwe,
2 Nowe there remained among the children of Israel seuen tribes, to whom they had not deuided their inheritance.
wabula waali wakyaliwo ebika musanvu ebya Isirayiri ebyali tebinnafuna mugabo gwabyo.
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?
Yoswa n’agamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Mulituusa ddi okulinda nga temunnafuna mugabo Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe gwe yabawa?
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.
Mulonde abantu basatu mu buli kika mbatume bayite mu nsi bagyetegereze, ng’emigabo gyabwe bwe giri era bawandiike ng’emigabo gyabwe bwe giri bakomewo bantegeeze.
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)
Baligigabanyaamu ebitundu musanvu Yuda esigale mu bitundu byayo mu bukiikaddyo n’ennyumba ya Yusufu mu bitundu byayo mu bukiikakkono.
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.
Nga mumaze okugabanya ensi mu bitundu musanvu mundeetere bye muwandiise mbakubire obululu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda waffe.
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.
Abaleevi tebalina mugabo mu mmwe kubanga obwakabona bwa Mukama gwe mugabo gwabwe, ne Gaadi, ne Lewubeeni n’ekitundu eky’ekika kya Manase bo baamala okuweebwa omugabo gwabwe emitala wa Yoludaani ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, Musa omuweereza wa Mukama gwe yabawa.”
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.
Abantu ne bagenda okulaba ensi bw’efaanana, Yoswa n’alagira be baali batumye nti, “Mugende mutambuletambule mu nsi mugyetegereze bw’efaanana, mukomewo mbakubire obululu wano mu maaso ga Mukama e Siiro.”
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.
Awo ne bagenda ne bayita mu nsi, ne bawandiika ebitundu musanvu ebifa ku bibuga mu kitabo, ne bakomawo ewa Yoswa mu lusiisira e Siiro.
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:
Awo Yoswa n’abakubira obululu mu Siiro mu maaso ga Mukama n’agabanyiza abaana ba Isirayiri ensi ng’ebitundu byabwe bwe byali.
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.
Awo akalulu k’ekika kya Benyamini, okusinziira ku nnyumba mwe bazaalibwa, ne katuuka era omugabo gwe baafuna ne guba mu makkati g’abaana ba Yuda n’abaana ba Yusufu.
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:
Ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono ensalo yaabwe ne tandikira ku Yoludaani ne yeeyongera ku njegoyego z’obukiikakkono bwa Yeriko n’eyambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi ebugwanjuba n’ekomekkereza mu ddungu ly’e Besaveni.
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.
Ensalo n’esala okuva mu bukiikaddyo n’etuuka e Luzi ye Beseri ne yeeyongera mu bukiikaddyo e Atalosuaddali kumpi n’olusozi oluli wammanga mu bukiikaddyo obwa Besukolooni.
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.
Ensalo ne yeeyongerayo okuva ku lusozi olutunuulidde Besukolooni n’eraga ku bukiikaddyo n’edda ebuvanjuba n’etuuka e Kiriasubaali, ye Kiriyasuyalimu, kye kibuga ky’abaana ba Yuda. Olwo lwe luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba.
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.
Oluuyi olw’obukiikaddyo lwatandikira ku njegoyego za Kiriyasuyalimu gye kikoma n’edda ebuvanjuba, ensalo ne yeeyongerayo ku nsulo ez’amazzi aga Nefutoa.
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,
Ate era ensalo n’ekkirira olusozi we lukoma, olutunudde mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu ekiri mu bukiikakkono lw’ekiwonvu kya Lefa, n’ekkirira mu kiwonvu kya Kinomu ekiri mu bukiikaddyo bw’ekibuga Yebusi, n’ekka ku Enerogeri.
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.
N’eryoka yeebungulula ng’eva mu bukiikakkono n’etuuka ku Ensomesi ne yeeyongerayo e Gerirosi ekitunuulidde ekkubo eryambuka okugenda Adummiru n’eyita n’etuuka ku jjinja lya Bokani mutabani wa Lewubeeni,
18 So it goeth along to the side ouer against the plaine Northward, and goeth downe into the plaine.
ne yeeyongerayo mu bukiikakkono ku luuyi lwa Besi Alaba okutuuka ku Alaba,
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.
ne yeeyongerayo mu bukiikakkono obwa Besukogula bw’etyo ensalo n’ekoma ku bukiikakkono bw’Ennyanja ey’Omunnyo mu bukiikaddyo bw’omugga Yoludaani. Eyo y’ensalo ey’oku bukiikaddyo.
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.
Yoludaani ye yali ensalo ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba. Guno gwe gwali omugabo gw’ekika kya Benyamini ng’enju bwe zaali, ng’ensalo bwe zaali era ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
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,
Kale nno ebibuga by’ekika ky’abaana ba Benyamini ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali byali: Yeriko ne Besukogula ne Emekkezizi,
22 And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,
ne Besualaba ne Zemalayimu ne Beseri,
23 And Auim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
ne Avvimu ne Pala ne Ofula,
24 And Chephar, Ammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba: twelue cities with their villages.
ne Kefalamoni ne Ofuni ne Geba ebibuga kkumi na bibiri n’ebyalo byabyo.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Gibyoni ne Laama ne Beerosi,
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
ne Mizupe ne Kefira ne Moza,
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
ne Lekemu ne Irupeeri ne Talala,
28 And Zela, Eleph, and Iebusi, (which is Ierusalem) Gibeath, and Kiriath: fourteene cities with their villages: this is the inheritance of the children of Beniamin according to their families.
ne Zeera, Erefu n’Omuyebusi, ye Yerusaalemi, ne Gibeasi ne Kiriasi ebibuga kkumi na bina n’ebyalo byabyo. Ogwo gwe gwali omugabo ogw’abaana ba Benyamini ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
