< Joshua 18 >

1 The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.
Na ka huihui te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira ki Hiro, a whakaturia ana e ratou ki reira te tapenakara o te whakaminenga: a i taea hoki te whenua e ratou.
2 Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
Na ka toe e whitu nga iwi o nga tama a Iharaira, kahore nei i wehea to ratou kainga tupu ki a ratou.
3 Joshua said to the children of Israel, "How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
Na ka mea a Hohua ki nga tama a Iharaira, Kia pehea ake te roa o to koutou nei mangere ki te haere ki te tango i te whenua kua hoatu nei ki a koutou e Ihowa, e te Atua o o koutou matua?
4 Appoint for you three men of each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.
Whakaritea mo koutou kia tokotoru mo ia iwi: a maku ratou e tono, a ka whakatika ratou, ka haere i te whenua, a ka tuhituhi kia rite ki o ratou wahi; a ka haere mai ai ratou ki ahau.
5 They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.
Me wehe hoki e ratou kia whitu nga wahi: me noho a Hura ki tona wahi ki te tonga, me noho ano hoki te whare o Hohepa ki tona wahi ki te raki.
6 You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
Na me tuhituhi e koutou te whenua kia whitu nga wahi, ka kawe mai ai i te pukapuka ki ahau ki konei, a maku e maka o koutou rota ki konei ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o to tatou Atua.
7 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."
Otira kahore he wahi mo nga Riwaiti i roto i a koutou; ko te mahi tohunga ki a Ihowa te wahi mo ratou: a ko Kara, ko Reupena, ko tetahi taanga hoki o te iwi o Manahi, kua whiwhi ratou ki to ratou wahi i tawahi o Horano whaka te rawhiti, ki ta Moh i, ki ta te pononga a Ihowa i hoatu ai ki a ratou.
8 The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, "Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."
Na ka whakatika aua tangata, a ka haere: a i whakahau a Hohua i te hunga i haere ki te tuhituhi i te whenua, i mea, Turia atu, haereerea hoki te whenua, tuhituhia hoki, ka hoki mai ai ki ahau, a maku e maka o koutou rota ki konei, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki Hiro.
9 The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions on a scroll. They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
Na ka turia atu e aua tangata, ka haere a puta noa te whenua, a tuhituhia iho e ratou ki te pukapuka, e whitu nga wahi, he mea whakaaro ki nga pa, a haere ana ki a Hohua, ki te puni ki Hiro.
10 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
A maka ana e Hohua he rota mo ratou i Hiro, i te aroaro o Ihowa: na ka wehea e Hohua te whenua i reira mo nga tama a Iharaira, kia rite ki o ratou wehenga.
11 The lot of the tribe of the descendants of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out between the descendants of Judah and the descendants of Joseph.
I puta ake te rota o te iwi o nga tama a Pineamine, ara o o ratou hapu: i haere te rohe o to ratou wahi i te takiwa o to nga tama a Hura, o to nga tama a Hohepa.
12 Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended at the wilderness of Beth Aven.
A ko to ratou rohe ki te taha ki te raki i Horano; na i haere te rohe ki runga, ki te taha o Heriko, ki te raki, a i haere whakarunga, na te whenua pukepuke whaka te hauauru, a puta tonu atu i te koraha o Peteawene.
13 The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (that is, Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Lower Beth Horon.
A i tika atu te rohe i reira ki Rutu, ki te taha o Rutu, ara ki Peteere whaka te tonga; na i anga whakararo te rohe ki Ataroto Arara, tatu tonu ki te pukepuke e tu ana i te tonga o Petehorono ki raro.
14 The border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ended at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city of the descendants of Judah. This was the west quarter.
Na ka whakatakotoria atu te rohe, a ka wahio haere ma te taha hauauru whaka te tonga, atu i te pukepuke e tu ana i te ritenga atu o Petehorono whaka te tonga; a ko ona putanga i Kiriatapaara, ara i Kiriata Tearimi, he pa no nga tama a Hura: ko t e taha tenei ki te hauauru.
15 The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
A ko te taha ki te tonga i te pito rawa o Kiriata Tearimi, a i puta atu te rohe whaka te hauauru, a puta tonu atu ki te puna wai i Nepetoa:
16 The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which is in the Valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the Valley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusites southward, and went down to En Rogel.
A i anga whakararo te rohe ki te pito rawa o te maunga e tu ana i mua i te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, ki tera i te raorao o Repaima whaka te raki; na i heke ki te raorao o Hinimo, ki te taha o te Iepuhi ki te tonga, a i heke ki Enerokere;
17 It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
Na i whakatakotoria atu te raki. a ka puta atu ki Enehemehe, a ka puta atu ki Keriroto, ki te ritenga atu o te pinakitanga ki Arumine; a heke noa ki te kohatu o Pohana, o te tama o Reupena,
18 And it passed on to the north to the shoulder of Beth Arabah, and went down to the Arabah.
Na i haere tonu i te tahi ki te raki ki te ritenga atu o Arapa, a i heke tonu atu ki Arapa;
19 The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.
Na i here tonu te rohe ki te taha ki te raki o Petehokora: a i pakaru rawa atu te rohe ki te kokoru whaka te raki o te Moana Toto i te pito ki te tonga o Horano: ko te rohe tenei ki te tonga.
20 The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the descendants of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.
A ko Horano tona rohe i te taha ki te rawhiti. Ko te kainga tupu tenei o nga tama a Pineamine, ko nga rohe hoki o reira a tawhio noa, ara o o ratou hapu.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the descendants of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth Hoglah, and Emek Keziz,
Na, ko nga pa o te iwi o nga tama a Pineamine, o o ratou hapu, ko Heriko, ko Petehokora, me Emekeketiti;
22 and Beth Arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
Ko Petearapa, ko Temaraima, ko Peteere;
23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
Ko Awimi, ko Paraha, ko Opora;
24 and Chephar Ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.
Ko Kepara Hamonai, ko Oponi, ko Kepa: kotahi tekau ma rua nga pa me nga kainga o aua pa:
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Ko Kipeono, ko Rama, ko Peeroto;
26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
Ko Mihipe, ko Kepira, ko Motaha;
27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
Ko Rekeme, ko Iripeere, ko Tarara;
28 and Zelah, Haeleph, and Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), and Gibeath, and Kiriath Jearim; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the descendants of Benjamin according to their families.
Ko Heraha, ko Erepe, ko Iepuhi, ara ko Hiruharama, ko Kipeata, ko Kiriata; kotahi tekau ma wha nga pa me nga kainga. Ko te kainga tupu tenei o nga tama a Pineamine, o o ratou hapu.
