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.
Ọgbakọ Izrel niile zukọtara na Shaịlo maa ụlọ nzute nʼebe ahụ. Nʼoge a, ala ahụ niile bịara nʼokpuru ọchịchị ndị Izrel,
2 Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
ma e nwekwara ebo Izrel asaa a na-ekenyebeghị ala nke ha dịka ihe nketa.
3 Joshua said to the children of Israel, "How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which YHWH, the God of your fathers, has given you?
Ya mere, Joshua jụrụ ụmụ Izrel ajụjụ sị ha, “Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-eche tupu unu ekpochapụ ndị niile bi nʼala a, inweta ala Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu nyere unu?
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.
Họpụtanụ ndị ikom atọ site nʼebo ọbụla, ndị m ga-eziga ka ha gaa jegharịa nʼala niile ahụ, dee ya nʼakwụkwọ nkọwa otu ihe nketa ọbụla si dị, nʼakụkụ ya niile. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-alọghachikwute m.
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.
Ha ga-eke ala ahụ fọdụrụ ụzọ asaa. Ma ebo Juda ga-anọgide nʼala ha nʼakụkụ ndịda, ụmụ ụmụ Josef kwa ga-anọgide nʼala ha nʼakụkụ ugwu.
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 YHWH our God.
Unu depụtachaa ụzọ asaa ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, werenụ ya bịakwute m ka m feere unu nza nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ịchọpụta ebo ga-eketa akụkụ ọbụla nʼala ahụ.
7 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of YHWH is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave them."
Ma ndị Livayị agaghị eketa ala ọbụla nʼetiti unu, nʼihi na ihe nketa ha bụ ọrụ nchụaja ha na-arụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ebo Gad, na Ruben, na ọkara ebo Manase agaghị enwetakwa oke ọzọ, nʼihi na ha anarala ihe nketa nke ha nʼofe Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, ebe Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị kwere ha na nkwa na ha ga-ebi.”
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 YHWH in Shiloh."
Ya mere, mgbe ndị ikom nledo ahụ gawara ijegharị nʼala ahụ niile, Joshua gwara ha okwu sị, “Jeenụ jegharịa nʼala ahụ niile. Depụtakwanụ otu unu chere a ga-esi kee ya nʼakwụkwọ. Mgbe unu lọtara aga m anọ nʼebe a bụ Shaịlo jụta Onyenwe anyị ase site nʼife nza, chọpụta ala nke ebo ọbụla ga-eketa.”
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.
Ndị ikom ahụ gabigara ala ahụ, depụta ya nʼakwụkwọ, nʼobodo nʼobodo dịka o si dị nʼoke asaa. Mgbe ha mesịrị nke a, ha lọghachikwutere Joshua nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu nʼime Shaịlo.
10 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before YHWH. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Joshua feere ha nza na Shaịlo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ keere ndị Izrel ala ahụ dịka ebo ha si dị.
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.
Ndị mbụ e kenyere ala site nʼife nza bụ ebo Benjamin dịka ikwu ha si dị. Ala niile e kenyere ebo Benjamin bụ nke dị nʼetiti ala e nyere ebo Juda na Josef.
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.
Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ugwu sitere nʼosimiri Jọdan ruo nʼakụkụ ugwu Jeriko. Nʼọdịda anyanwụ o sitere na Jeriko ruo ala ugwu ugwu ahụ niile, ruokwa nʼọzara Bet-Aven.
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.
Oke ala ahụ sitekwara nʼakụkụ ndịda ruo nʼakụkụ Luz (ebe a na-akpọkwa Betel), ruokwa Atarọt-Ada, nke dị nʼakụkụ ndịda ugwu dị na mgbada Bet-Horon.
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.
Site nʼugwu ahụ chere Bet-Horon ihu nʼakụkụ ndịda, oke ala ahụ gbadara ndịda gbasoro akụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ pụta na Kiriat Baal, ya bụ, Kiriat Jearim, otu nʼime obodo ndị Juda. Nke a bụ oke ala ahụ nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
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.
Oke ala ha na ndịda sitere na nsọtụ akụkụ Kiriat Jearim rute nʼisi iyi mmiri Neftoa.
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.
O sitekwara nʼebe ahụ gbada ruo na ndịda ugwu ahụ nke chere ihu na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, nʼakụkụ ugwu Ndagwurugwu nke Refaim. O sitekwara nʼebe ahụ gafee ruokwa nʼakụkụ ndịda ugwu obodo ndị Jebus, ruo En-Rogel.
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.
Site nʼEn Rogel oke ala ahụ gbatịrị ruo En-Shemesh, gafee ruo Gelilọt, nke chere ihu na nrigo ugwu Adumim. O si nʼebe ahụ ruo na nkume Bohan, nwa Ruben.
18 And it passed on to the north to the shoulder of Beth Arabah, and went down to the Arabah.
O sitere nʼebe ahụ gafee nʼakụkụ ugwu Bet-Araba gbadata rute nʼAraba,
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.
ọ gafere gbatịrị ruo nʼakụkụ Bet-Hogla na mgbago ugwu, pụta nʼakụkụ ugwu nke osimiri Nnu, nke bụ nʼakụkụ ndịda ọnụ mmiri osimiri Jọdan. Nke a bụ oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ndịda.
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.
Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ bụ osimiri Jọdan. Ndị a bụ ihe nketa ụmụ Benjamin, dịka oke ala ya niile si dị gburugburu, dị ka ikwu ya niile si dị nʼakụkụ niile.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the descendants of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth Hoglah, and Emek Keziz,
Ndị a bụ obodo e kenyere ebo Benjamin, dịka ikwu ha si dị: Jeriko, Bet-Hogla, Emek Keziz,
