Joshua 18
1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.
Sima na bana ya Isalaele kozwa bokonzi likolo ya mokili, lisanga na bango mobimba esanganaki na Silo mpe batelemisaki kuna Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Kasi kati na bana ya Isalaele, ezalaki na mabota sambo oyo ezwaki nanu te libula na yango ya mabele.
3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel: 'How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, hath given you?
Jozue alobaki na bana ya Isalaele: « Kino tango nini bokozela mpo na kokende kozwa mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, apesaki bino?
4 Appoint for you three men for each tribe; and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me.
Bopona bato misato kati na libota moko na moko. Nakotinda bango mpo ete bakende kotambola kati na mokili mpe kotia bandelo na yango kolanda libula ya libota na libota; bongo na sima nde bakoki kozonga epai na ngai.
5 And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.
Bakokabola mokili yango na biteni sambo; bakitani ya Yuda bakotikala na eteni na bango ya mabele ya ngambo ya sude, mpe bakitani ya Jozefi bakotikala na eteni na bango ya mabele ya ngambo ya nor.
6 And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
Sima na bino kosala mabongisi ya kokabola mokili na biteni sambo, bomemela ngai yango awa, mpe ngai nakobeta zeke mpo na bino liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
7 For the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.'
Kasi bakitani ya Levi bakotikala kozwa eteni moko te ya mabele elongo na bino, pamba te mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe nde ekozala libula na bango. Bato ya libota ya Gadi, ya Ribeni mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase, bazwaki eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize, mosali na Yawe, apesaki bango na ngambo ya este ya Yordani. »
8 And the men arose, and went; and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying: 'Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come back to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.'
Tango bato batelemaki mpo na kokende kosala mabongisi ya kokabola mokili, Jozue apesaki mitindo oyo: « Bokende kotambola kati na mokili, bokata bandelo na yango, mpe na sima, bozongela ngai awa na Silo, mpe ngai nakobeta zeke mpo na bino liboso ya Yawe. »
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book, and they came to Joshua unto the camp at Shiloh.
Boye, bato oyo bakendeki, batambolaki kati na mokili, bakataki bandelo na yango mpe batiaki yango na mokanda, engumba na engumba, mpe bakabolaki mokili mobimba na biteni sambo; bongo na sima, bazongaki na Silo, na molako epai ya Jozue.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Jozue abetaki zeke mpo na bango liboso ya Yawe, na Silo, mpe kuna akabolaki mokili kati na bana ya Isalaele kolanda mabota na bango.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
Zeke ekweyaki epai ya libota ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango. Eteni ya mabele oyo epesamelaki bango na zeke ezalaki na kati-kati ya mabele ya bakitani ya Yuda mpe ya Jozefi.
12 And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
Na ngambo ya nor, mondelo na bango ezalaki longwa na Yordani, emataki na mopanzi ya Jeriko, ekatisaki mokili ya bangomba, na ngambo ya weste, mpe esukaki na esobe, na Beti-Aveni.
13 And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz — the same is Beth-el — southward; and the border went down to Atroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether.
Mondelo yango elekelaki wana mpe ekendeki kino na Luze, na mopanzi na yango ya ngambo ya sude, oyo ezali Beteli; ekendeki kotutana na Ataroti-Adari, na ngomba oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya sude ya Beti-Oroni, mokili ya se.
14 And the border was drawn and turned about on the west side southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal — the same is Kiriath-jearim — a city of the children of Judah; this was the west side.
Longwa na ngomba moke oyo etalana na Beti-Oroni na ngambo ya sude, mondelo yango ebalukaki na ngambo ya weste, mpe esukaki na Kiriati-Bala, oyo ekoma Kiriati-Yearimi, engumba ya bakitani ya Yuda. Yango nde ezalaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya weste.
15 And the south side was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.
Na ngambo ya sude, mondelo yango ebandaki longwa na Kiriati-Yearimi, na ngambo ya weste, mpe ekendeki kobima na etima ya mayi ya Nefitoa.
16 And the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the Valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.
Ekitaki kino na ebandeli ya ngomba moke oyo etalana na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, na ngambo ya nor ya etando ya bato ya Refayimi. Ekitaki na Lubwaku ya Inomi, na mopanzi ya ngambo ya sude ya engumba ya bato ya Yebusi kino na Eyini-Rogeli.
17 And it was drawn on the north, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
Ebalukaki na ngambo ya nor, elekelaki na Eyini-Shemeshi, elekaki na Geliloti oyo etalana na nzela emata kino na Adumimi; sima ekitaki kino na Libanga ya Boani, mwana mobali ya Ribeni.
18 And it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah.
Elekaki na mopanzi ya ngambo ya nor, liboso ya Beti-Araba, mpe ekitaki kino na etando ya Araba.
19 And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan; this was the south border.
Mondelo yango elekelaki na mopanzi ya Beti-Ogila, na ngambo ya nor, mpe esukaki na eteni ya mabele oyo ekota na mayi ya ebale monene ya Barozo, na ngambo ya nor, na suka ya ngambo ya sude ya Yordani. Yango nde ezalaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya sude.
20 And the Jordan was to be the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families.
Ebale ya Yordani ekomaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya este. Yango nde ezalaki bandelo ya libula ya mabota ya bakitani ya Benjame na bangambo nyonso.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz;
Tala bingumba ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango: Jeriko, Beti-Ogila, Emeki-Ketsitsi,
22 and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el;
Beti-Araba, Tsemarayimi, Beteli,
23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah;
Avimi, Para, Ofira,
24 and Chephar-ammonah, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages:
Kefari-Amonayi, Ofini mpe Geba: bingumba nyonso ezalaki zomi na mibale, elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth;
Gabaoni, Rama, Beyeroti,
26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah;
Mitsipe, Kefira, Motsa,
27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah;
Rekemi, Yiripeyeli, Tareala,
28 and Zela, Eleph, and the Jebusite — the same is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
Tsela, Elefi, engumba ya Yebusi oyo ezali Yelusalemi, Gibea, Kiriati: bingumba nyonso ezalaki zomi na minei elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike. Yango nde ezalaki libula ya mabele ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango.
