1 And they assembled all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel Shiloh and they caused to dwell there [the] tent of meeting and the land it was 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 And they remained among [the] people of Israel which not they had divided inheritance their seven tribes.

Womema anyigba na Israel ƒe to adre haɖe o.

3 And he said Joshua to [the] people of Israel until when? [will] you [be] showing yourself slack to go to take possession of the land which he has given to you Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your.

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 Provide for yourselves three men to the tribe so I may send them and they may arise so they may walk in the land so they may describe in writing it to [the] mouth of inheritance their so they may come to 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 And they will divide among themselves it seven portions Judah it will remain on territory its from [the] south and [the] house of Joseph they will remain on territory their from [the] north.

6 And you you will describe in writing the land seven portions and you will bring [it] to me hither and I will throw for you a lot here before Yahweh God our.

7 For not a portion [will belong] to the Levites in midst your for [is] [the] priesthood of Yahweh inheritance its and Gad and Reuben and [the] half of [the] tribe of Manasseh they have received inheritance their from [the] other side of the Jordan east-ward which he gave to them Moses [the] servant of Yahweh.

8 And they arose the men and they went and he commanded Joshua those [who] went to describe in writing the land saying go and walk about in the land and describe in writing it and return to me and here I will throw for you a lot before Yahweh in Shiloh.
