Joshua 18
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel were assembled at Selo, and there they pitched the tabernacle of witness; and the land was subdued by them.
Isra’ilawa duka suka taru a Shilo suka kafa tenti inda za su dinga taruwa. Yanzu ƙasar tana ƙarƙashin mulkinsu,
2 And the sons of Israel remained, [even] those who [had] not received their inheritance, seven tribes.
amma akwai sauran kabilu bakwai na Isra’ila waɗanda ba su samu rabon gādonsu ba tukuna.
3 And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long will you be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our God has given you?
Saboda haka Yoshuwa ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Har yaushe za ku yi jinkirin shiga, ku mallaki ƙasar da Ubangiji Allah na iyayenku ya ba ku?
4 Appoint of yourselves three men of each tribe, and let them rise up and go through the land, and let them describe it before me, as it will be proper to divide it.
Ku ba da mutum uku daga kowace kabila, ni kuwa in aike su, su zagaya dukan ƙasar su rubuta bayani game da ita, bisa ga yadda za a raba ta gādo ga kowace kabila, sa’an nan su dawo wurina.
5 And they came to him: and he divided to them seven portions, [saying], Juda shall stand to them a border southward, and the sons of Joseph shall stand to them northward.
Za ku raba ƙasar kashi bakwai. Mutanen Yahuda za su ci gaba da kasancewa a wurin da suke a kudu, sai kuma mutanen Yusuf a wurin da suke a arewa.
6 And do you divide the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, and I will give you a lot before the Lord our God.
Bayan kun auna ƙasar, ku raba ta kashi bakwai, sai ku kawo mini taswirar ƙasar. Ni kuma in yi muku ƙuri’a a gaban Ubangiji Allahnmu.
7 For the sons of Levi have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord [is] his portion; and Gad, and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasse, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.
Lawiyawa ba su da rabo a cikinku, domin aikin firistocin da suke yi wa Ubangiji shi ne gādonsu. Gad, Ruben da rabin kabilar Manasse kuwa sun riga sun samu gādonsu a gabashin gefen Urdun, Musa bawan Ubangiji ya ba su.”
8 And the men rose up and went; and Joshua charged the men who went to explore the land, saying, Go and explore the land, and come to me, and I will bring you forth a lot here before the Lord in Selo.
Da mutanen za su kama hanya su je su zāna yadda ƙasar take, Yoshuwa ya umarce su cewa, “Ku je ku ga yadda ƙasar take. Sa’an nan ku dawo wurina, zan yi muku ƙuri’a a nan Shilo a gaban Ubangiji.”
9 And they went, and explored the land: and they viewed it, and described it according to the cities, seven parts in a book, and brought [the book] to Joshua.
Mutanen kuwa suka tafi suka bi ta cikin ƙasar, suka bayyana yadda take a rubuce, gari-gari, kashi bakwai, suka koma wurin Yoshuwa a Shilo.
10 And Joshua cast the lot for them in Selo before the Lord.
Sai Yoshuwa ya yi musu ƙuri’a a gaban Ubangiji, a nan ne ya raba wa Isra’ilawa ƙasar bisa ga yadda aka raba su kabila-kabila.
11 And the lot of the tribe of Benjamin came forth first according to their families: and the borders of their lot came forth between the children of Juda and the children of Joseph.
Ƙuri’ar kabilar Benyamin bisa ga iyalansu. Rabonsu ya kama daga ƙasar da take tsakanin kabilar Yahuda da ta Yusuf.
12 And their borders were northward: the borders shall go up from Jordan behind Jericho northward, and shall go up to the mountain westward, and the issue of it shall be Baethon of Mabdara.
Daga gefen arewa, iyakarsu ta kama ne daga Urdun, ta wuce arewa a gangaren Yeriko, ta nufi yamma cikin ƙasar kan tudu, ta fito a jejin Bet-Awen.
13 And the borders will go forth thence to Luz, behind Luz, from the south of it; this is Baethel: and the borders shall go down to Maatarob Orech, to the hill country, which is southward of Baethoron the lower.
Daga can ta ƙetare zuwa gangaren Luz a kudu (wato, Betel), ta wuce zuwa Atarot Adda a tudun arewa na kwarin Bet-Horon.
14 And the borders shall pass through and proceed to the part that looks toward the sea, on the south, from the mountain in front of Baethoron southward, and its termination shall be at Cariath-Baal, this is Cariath-Jarin, a city of the children of Juda; this is the part toward the west.
Daga tudun da yake fuskantar Bet-Horon a kudu, iyakar ta juya kudu ta gefen yamma ta ɓullo a Kiriyat Ba’al (wato, Kiriyat Yeyarim), birnin Yahuda. Wannan ita ce iyakar a wajen yamma.
15 And the south side on the part of Cariath-Baal; and the borders shall go across to Gasin, to the fountain of the water of Naphtho.
A gefen kudu kuwa, iyakar ta fara daga ƙauyukan Kiriyat Yeyarim wajen yamma sai ta miƙe zuwa maɓuɓɓugar ruwan Neftowa.
16 And the borders shall extend down on one side, this is in front of the forest of Sonnam, which is on the side of Emec Raphain northward, and it shall come down to Gaeenna behind Jebusai southward: it shall come down to the fountain of Rogel.
Iyakar ta gangara zuwa gefen dutsen da yake fuskantar Kwarin Ben Hinnom, wanda yake arewa da Kwarin Refayim. Ta ci gaba ta gangara ta Kwarin Hinnom ta yi kudu kusa da birnin Yebusiyawa har zuwa En Rogel.
17 And [the borders] shall go across to the fountain of Baethsamys:
Sai ta nausa ta yi wajen arewa, zuwa En Shemesh, ta ci gaba zuwa Gelilot, wanda yake fuskantar hawan Adummim. Daga can ta gangara zuwa Dutsen Bohan, ɗan Ruben.
18 and shall proceed to Galiloth, which is in front by the going up of Aethamin; and they shall come down to the stone of Baeon of the sons of Ruben; and shall pass over behind Baetharaba northward, and shall go down to the borders behind the sea northward.
Sai ta wuce ta yi arewancin gangaren Bet-Araba, ta wuce har zuwa cikin Araba.
19 And the termination of the borders shall be at the creek of the salt sea northward to the side of Jordan southward: these are their southern borders.
Sa’an nan ta wuce zuwa arewancin gangaren Bet-Hogla ta kuma ɓulla a arewancin gaɓar Tekun Gishiri, a bakin Urdun a kudu. Wannan ita ce iyakar a wajen kudu.
20 And Jordan shall be their boundary on the east: this [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, these [are] their borders round about according to their families.
Urdun shi ne iyaka a wajen gabas. Waɗannan su ne iyakokin yankin ƙasar da iyalan kabilar Benyamin suka gāda.
21 And the cities of the children of Benjamin according to their families [were] Jericho, and Bethagaeo, and the Amecasis,
Waɗannan su ne garuruwan da kabilar Benyamin suke da su na gādo. Yeriko, Bet-Hogla, Emek Keziz,
