Joshua 18
1 Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, —the land, having been subdued before them.
Esi Israelviwo xɔ anyigba vɔ megbe la, wo katã wova kpe ta ɖe Silo, eye wotu Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ ɖe afi ma.
2 But there remained among the sons of Israel, to whom had not been apportioned their inheritance, —seven tribes.
Womema anyigba na Israel ƒe to adre haɖe o.
3 So Joshua said unto the sons of Israel, —How long, will ye be too slothful, to enter in and take possession of the land, which Yahweh God of your fathers, hath given unto you?
Ale Yosua bia Israelviwo be, “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie mialala hafi anya ame siwo le anyigba si Yehowa, mia Mawu la na mi la dzi?
4 Set forth for you three men for each tribe, —that I may send them, that they may arise—and go up and down in the land—and map it out as required for their inheritance, and come in unto me.
Mitia ame etɔ̃ tso to ɖe sia ɖe me, eye madɔ wo ɖa be woayi aɖatsa ŋku le afi siwo dzi míeɖu haɖe o la dzi, ale be woana manya woƒe lolome kple anyigba la ƒe lolome si to ɖe sia ɖe adi be yeaxɔ, ekema mate ŋu amae na mi.
5 So shall they apportion it for themselves into seven parts, —Let, Judah, stay upon his boundary, on the south, and, the house of Joseph, stay upon their boundary, on the north,
Mama anyigba la ɖe akpa adre me: Yuda ƒe viwo anɔ woƒe anyigba dzi le dziehe, eye Yosef ƒe viwo anɔ anyiehe.
6 but, ye, shall map out the [rest of the] land, into seven parts, —and bring in [your descriptions] unto me, here, —then will I cast lots for you here, before Yahweh our God.
Miŋlɔ nu tso anyigba la ƒe akpa adreawo ŋu tsɔ vɛ nam. Ekema mada akɔ ɖe edzi le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ŋkume ale be manya ale si mama anyigba lae.
7 For Levi hath no portion in your midst, for, the priesthood of Yahweh, is his inheritance, —and, Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance, beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them.
Ke miɖo ŋku edzi be womama anyigba na Levitɔwo o, elabena Yehowa ƒe nunɔlawo wonye, eye woƒe nunɔladɔe nye woƒe domenyinu wɔnuku la. Gad ƒe viwo kple Ruben ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã magaxɔ anyigba aɖeke o, elabena woxɔ anyigba xoxo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe, afi si ŋugbe Mose do na wo.”
8 So the men arose, and went, —and Joshua commanded them who were going, to map out the land, saying—Take your journey and go up and down in the land, and map it out, and return unto me, and, here, will I cast lots for you before Yahweh, in Shiloh.
Ame siwo wotia la dze mɔ be woata anyigba la vɛ na Yosua ekema ate ŋu ama anyigba la na toawo to akɔdada le Yehowa ŋkume me.
9 So the men went, and passed through the land, and mapped it out by cities, into seven parts, upon a scroll, —and came in unto Joshua, unto the camp, in Shiloh.
Ame tiatiawo wɔ abe ale si woɖo na wo ene. Woma anyigba la ɖe akpa adre me, woŋlɔ du siwo nɔ mama ɖe sia ɖe me la da ɖi, eye wotrɔ va Yosua gbɔ le asaɖa la me le Silo.
10 And Joshua cast for them lots, in Shiloh, before Yahweh, —and Joshua there apportioned the land unto the sons of Israel, according to their portions.
Le afi ma, le asaɖa la me le Silo la, Yehowa fia Yosua to akɔdada la me, ale si wòama anyigba lae na to vovovoawo.
11 Then came up the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, —and the boundary of their lot came out, between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
Anyigba si wotsɔ na Benyamin ƒe viwo la nɔ Yuda ƒe viwo kple Yosef ƒe viwo ƒe anyigbawo dome.
12 And so their boundary, on the north border, was from the Jordan, —and the boundary goeth up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and goeth up in the hill country, westward, and the extensions thereof are towards the wilderness of Beth-aven;
Benyamin ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba ƒe anyiehe dze egɔme tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la to, yi Yeriko ƒe anyiehe, to tonyigba la kple Bet Aven gbegbe la dzi.
13 and the boundary passeth over from thence towards Luz, to the side of Luz, southwards, the same, is Bethel, —and the boundary goeth down to Ataroth-addah, by the mountain that is on the south of Beth-horon the nether;
Liƒo la tso afi ma ɖo ta dziehe yi Luz, afi si wogayɔna be Betel, heyi Atarot Ada, le Bet Horon ƒe tonyigba dzi le dziehe.
14 then turneth the boundary and goeth round the west border, southward, from the mountain which faceth Beth-horon, southward, and so the extensions thereof are unto Kiriath-baal—the same, is Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah, —this, is the west border.
Liƒo la trɔ tso afi ma ɖo ta dziehe, eto to si le Bet Horon kasa le dziehe hewu nu ɖe Kiriat Baal, du si wogayɔna be Kiriat Yearim, si nye Yuda ƒe viwo ƒe duwo dometɔ ɖeka la gbɔ. Esiae nye Benyamin ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba ƒe ɣetoɖoƒeliƒo.
15 And, the border southward, is from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, —and the boundary goeth out westward, yea it goeth out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;
Anyigba la ƒe anyigbemeliƒo tso Kiriat Yearim du la to, yi Efrɔn to la dzi, yi Naftoa vudo la gbɔ,
16 and the boundary goeth down to the uttermost part of the mountain which faceth the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the Vale of Giants, northward, —and descendeth the valley of Hinnom, unto the side of the Jebusite, southward, and then descendeth to En-rogel;
heyi to si le Ben Hinom ƒe Balime le Refaim ƒe balime ƒe anyiehe gome. Etso afi ma, heto Hinom ƒe balime hetrɔ yi dziehe gome, afi si Yebusitɔwo nɔ, eye wòyi ɖatɔ En Rogel.
17 and it turneth on the north, and goeth out at En-shemesh, and goeth out unto Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim, —and goeth down by the Stone of Bohan, son of Reuben;
Tso En Rogel la, liƒo la ɖo ta anyiehe kple ɣedzeƒe gome yi En Semes kple Gelilot le Adumim ƒe akpa kemɛ. Etrɔ tso afi ma ɖo ta Bohan, Ruben ƒe vi ƒe kpe la gbɔ,
18 and passeth along unto the side over against the Arabah, northward, —and goeth down toward the Arabah;
eye wòzɔ Bet Araba ƒe anyieheliƒo la ŋu heyi Araba.
19 and the boundary passeth along unto the side of Beth-hoglah, northward, and so the extensions of the boundary are unto the bay of the Salt Sea, northward, unto the end of the Jordan, southward, —This, is the south boundary.
Egaɖo ta dziehe, dze le Bet Hogla ŋu, eye wòwu nu ɖe Dzeƒu la to. Teƒe siae nye Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe seƒe le dziehe gome.
20 And, the Jordan itself, boundeth it as an eastward border. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the boundaries thereof round about, by their families.
Yɔdan tɔsisi lae nye anyigba sia ƒe ɣedzeƒeliƒo. Anyigba siae wotsɔ na Benyamin ƒe viwo.
21 So then the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, are, —Jericho and Beth-hoglah, and Emekkeziz,
Du blaeve-vɔ-ade siwo nɔ anyigba sia dzi la woe nye: Yeriko, Bet Hogla, Emek Keziz,
22 and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
Bet Araba, Zemaraim, Betel,
23 and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,
Avim, Para, Ofra,
24 and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni, and Geba, —twelve cities, with their villages:
Kefar Amoni, Ofni, Geba. Du wuieve kple woƒe kɔƒeduwo.
25 Gibeon and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Gibeon, Rama, Beerot,
26 and Mizpeh and Chephirah, and Mozah,
Mizpeh, Kefira, Moza,
27 and Rekem and Irpeel, and Taralah,
Rekem, Irpeel, Tarala,
28 and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite, the same, is Jerusalem, Gibeath [and] Kiriath, fourteen cities, with their villages. This, is the inheritance of the song of Benjamin, by their families.
Zela, Haelef, Yebus (alo Yerusalem), Gibea kple Kiriat Yearim. Wo katã le du wuiene. Wotsɔ du wuiene siawo kple kɔƒe siwo katã ƒo xlã wo la na Benyamin ƒe ƒome la.
