< 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.
Dia nivory tao Silo ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka nanangana ny trano-lay fihaonana tao. Ary ny tany dia resy teo anoloany.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Ary nisy firenena fito tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tsy mbola nahazo ny lovany.
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?
Dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Mandra-pahoviana no hiahotrahoranareo tsy hiditra handova ny tany, izay omen’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, anareo?
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.
Mandoava telo lahy avy isam-pirenena, dia haniraka azy aho, ary hiainga izy ka handeha hitety ny tany ka hanoratra azy araka ny ho lovany, dia hiverina atỳ amiko.
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.
Ary hizafa azy ho fito toko izy; ny Joda hitoetra any amin’ ny taniny ao atsimo, ary ny taranak’ i Josefa hitoetra any amin’ ny taniny ao avaratra.
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.
Ary soratinareo ny tany ka ataovy fito toko; ary ento atỳ amiko ny soratra, dia hanao filokana ho anareo eto anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika aho.
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.'
Fa tsy mba manana anjara eo aminareo ny Levita; fa ny fisoronana amin’ i Jehovah no lovany; ary Gada sy Robena sy ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase efa nahazo ny lovany any an-dafy atsinanan’ i Jordana, izay nomen’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, azy.
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.'
Dia niainga ireo lehilahy ireo ka nandeha; ary Josoa nandidy izay nandeha hanoratra ny tany ka nanao hoe: Mandehana nitety ny tany, ka soraty izy, dia miverena atỳ amiko, ka eto Silo no hanaovako filokana ho anareo eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
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.
Dia lasa ireo lehilahy ireo ka nandeha nitety ny tany, dia nanoratra azy tamin’ ny taratasy, ka nataony fito toko, araka ny tanàna, ary dia tafaverina tany amin’ i Josoa tao an-toby tao Silo izy.
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.
Ary Josoa dia nanao filokana ho azy tao Silo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary tao no nizaran’ i Josoa ny tany ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely araka ny fizarany.
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.
Dia nahazo ny loka ny firenena taranak’ i Benjamina isam-pokony; ary ny faritry ny tany azony dia teo anelanelan’ ny taranak’ i Joda sy ny taranak’ i Josefa.
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.
Ary ny fari-taniny amin’ ny lafiny avaratra dia hatrany Jordana ka niakatra hatramin’ ny ilan’ i Jeriko amin’ ny avaratra, dia niakatra niankandrefana nahazo ny tany havoana, ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny efitr’ i Betavena,
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.
hatreo dia nandroso hatrany Lozy, hatramin’ ny ilany atsimon’ i Lozy (Betela izany), dia nidina hatrany Atarot-adara ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra atsimon’ i Beti-horona ambany,
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.
dia niolaka tamin’ ny lafiny andrefana ka nianatsimo hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra izay eo anoloan’ i Beti-horona eo atsimo, ka dia nihatra any Kiriata-bala (Kiriata-jearima izany), tanànan’ ny taranak’ i Joda; izany no lafiny andrefana.
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.
Ary ny lafiny atsimo dia hatramin’ ny faran’ i Kiriata-jearima; ary ny fari-tany dia nandroso niankandrefana ka nihatra tamin’ ny loharanon’ i Neftoa,
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.
dia nidina hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tendrombohitra, izay tandrifin’ ny lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, eo amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta eo avaratra, ka nidina hatramin’ ny lohasahan’ i Hinoma, hatramin’ ny ilany atsimon’ ny Jebosita, ka nidina hatrany En-rogela,
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.
dia nizotra avy any avaratra ka nandroso hatrany En-semesy sy Gelilota, izay tandrifin’ ny fiakarana Adomima, ka nidina hatramin’ ny vaton’ i Bohana, zanak’ i Robena,
18 And it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah.
dia nandroso hatramin’ ny ilany avaratra tandrifin’ ny tani-hay ka nidina hatrany amin’ ny tani-hay.
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.
dia nandroso hatramin’ ny ilany avaratr’ i Beti-hogla, ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny helo-drano avaratra amin’ ny Ranomasin-tsira, eo amin’ ny farany atsimo amin’ i Jordana; izany no lafiny atsimo.
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.
Ary Jordana no fari-taniny atsinanana. Izany no lovan’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina amin’ ny fari-taniny manodidina araka ny fokony.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz;
Ary ny tanànan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Benjamina araka ny fokony dia Jeriko sy Beti-hogla ary ny lohasahan’ i Keziza
22 and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el;
sy Bet-arabà sy Zemaraima sy Betela
23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah;
sy Avima sy Para sy Ofra
24 and Chephar-ammonah, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages:
sy Kefara-hamony sy Ofny sy Geba: tanàna roa ambin’ ny folo sy ny zana-bohiny;
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth;
sy Gibeona sy Rama sy Berota
26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah;
sy Mizpa sy Kefira sy Moza
27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah;
sy Rekema sy Iripela sy Tarala
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.
sy Zela sy Elefa sy ny Jebosita (Jerosalema izany) sy Gibea sy Kiriata: tanàna efatra ambin’ ny folo sy ny zana-bohiny. Izany no lovan’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina araka ny fokony.
