< Joshua 13 >

1 When Joshua was very old, Yahweh said to him, “Joshua, you are now an old man, but there is still a lot of land [for your army] to capture.
Joshua loe mitong boeh moe, saning doeh coeh boeh pongah, Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Na mitong boeh moe, saning paroeai coeh boeh, toe lak han prae paroeai oh vop.
2 Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
Lak han kanghmat praenawk loe, Philistin kaminawk hoi Geshur kaminawk ih prae boih,
3 the area where the Canaan people-group live, from the Shihor River [in the south] at the [eastern] border of Egypt, to Ekron [city] in the north; the rulers of the five [cities] of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; the area where the Avva people-group live,
Izip prae ni angyae bang kaom, Shihor vapui hoi kamtong aluek bang kaom Ekron vangpui khoek to, Kanaan kaminawk ih prae, Philistin siangpahrangnawk ih prae pangatonawk, Gaza, Ashdoth, Ashkelon, Gath hoi Ekron pacoengah, Avi kaminawk ih prae,
4 which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
aloih bang hoi kamtong Kanaan kaminawk prae boih, Sidon kaminawk taengah kaom, Mearah prae, Amor prae Aphek vangpui khoek to,
5 the area where the Gebal people-group live; and all the Lebanon area east of Baal-Gad [city] at the bottom of Hermon Mountain, as far as Lebo-Hamath.
Gebal kaminawk ih prae, ni angyae bang ih Lebanon prae boih, Hermon mae tlim ah kaom Baal-Gad vangpui hoi Hamath prae akunhaih khoek to oh vop.
6 All the people of the Sidon people-group live in the hilly area from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, but I will force them to leave that area before you Israelis arrive there. Be sure to give that area to the Israeli people when you divide the land among them, like I told you to do.
Mae nuiah kaom Lebanon hoi Misrephoth-Maim vangpui khoek to, Sidon kaminawk boih, to kaminawk to Israel kaminawk hmaa hoiah ka haek han; kang paek ih lok baktih toengah, hae prae hae taham khethaih phoisa vah pacoengah Israel kaminawk hanah qawk ah paek ah.
7 Divide all that land among the nine Israeli tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh, [the tribes that do not have land on the east side of the Jordan River].”
To pongah hae prae hae vaihi acaeng takawtto pacoeng, ahap Manasseh acaengnawk hanah qawk ah pazet paeh, tiah a naa.
8 Half of the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already been told what land they would receive, because Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had already assigned to them the land on the east side of the Jordan [River].
Reuben acaeng, Gad acaeng hoi ahap Manasseh acaengnawk loe, Mosi mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Jordan vapui ni angyae bang ih prae to, Angraeng ih tamna Mosi mah nihcae hanah qawk ah paek boeh.
9 Their land extended from Aroer [town] at the Arnon River gorge to the town in the middle of the gorge. It included the whole plain from Medeba [town south] to Dibon [town].
To prae loe Amor vapui taengah kaom Aroer vangpui hoi kamtong, tuipui taengah kaom vangpui; Medeba azawn hoi Dibon vangpui khoek to;
10 All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
Heshbon ukkung ah kaom, Amor siangpahrang Sihon ih vangpuinawk boih hoi Ammon kaminawk ih ramri khoek to;
11 The Gilead area was also there, and the regions where the people of the Geshur and Maacah people-groups lived, and all of Hermon Mountain and all the Bashan region [south] to Salecah.
Gilead prae, Geshur hoi Maakah kaminawk ohhaih prae, Hermon mae boih, Bashan hoi Salkah khoek to;
12 All the land ruled by Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], was in that land. Og was one of the last descendants of Repha; previously he had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities], but [the armies of] Moses had defeated their armies and had taken their land from them.
kalen parai kami acaeng thung hoi kanghmat maeto ah kaom, Ashtaroth hoi Edrei vangpui ukkung, Bashan siangpahrang Og ih praenawk boih to athum; Mosi mah to siangpahrangnawk to tuk moe, praenawk to lak pae boih boeh.
13 But the Israelis did not force the people of the Geshur and Maacah [people-groups] to leave their land, so they still live among the Israeli people.
Toe Israel kaminawk mah Geshur hoi Maakah kaminawk to haek o ai; to pongah vaihni ni khoek to Geshur hoi Maakah acaengnawk loe Israel kaminawk salakah khosak o.
14 The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, just like Yahweh promised, they continued to receive [food from] the sacrifices that were given to Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worship], the sacrifices that were burned [on the sacred altar].
Levi acaengnawk khue ni qawk hak ai; nihcae khaeah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah sak ih hmai angbawnhaih to nihcae ih qawk ah oh boeh.
15 Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
Mosi mah Reuben acaeng maeto boih han paek ih qawk loe,
16 Their land extended from Aroer [town] near the Arnon River gorge to Medeba [town]. That included all of the plain [that is near Medeba] and the town in the middle of the gorge.
Arnon tuipui taengah kaom, Aroer vangpui hoi kamtong tuipui taengah kaom vangpuinawk hoi Medeba azawn boih;
17 It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,
Heshbon vangpui hoi kamtong azawn ah kaom, Dibon, Bamoth-Baal hoi Beth-Baal-Meon vangpuinawk boih,
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
Jahaza, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,
Kirjathaim, Sibmah, azawn ah kaom maesom nui ih Zereth-Shahar,
20 Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.
Beth-Peor, Ashdoth-Pisgah hoi Beth-Jeshimoth vangpui,
21 That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But [the army of] Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.
azawn ah kaom vangpuinawk boih hoi Heshbon ukkung Amor siangpahrang Sihon ih prae boih; siangpahrang Sihon hoi anih mah a prae thungah ohsak ih, Midia angraengnawk ah kaom, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur hoi Reba cae to, Mosi mah pazawk boih.
22 The Israeli army killed many people during those battles, including Balaam, [the prophet] from Beor, who tried to use magic to predict/tell what would happen in the future.
Misatuk naah hum o ih to kaminawk pacoengah, hmabang kaom han koi hmuen panoek hanah lungh aah kop, Beor capa Balaam to Israel kaminawk mah sumsen hoiah hum o.
23 The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
Reuben kaminawk ih ramri loe Jordan vapui hoi tuipui taeng khoek to kawk. Hae vangpuinawk hoi vangtanawk loe, Reuben imthung takoh boih mah qawk ah toep ih hmuen ah oh.
24 Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
Gad acaeng boih khaeah, Mosi mah paek ih qawk loe,
25 Their land included the Jazer [area] and all the towns of the Gilead [area]; half of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, as far as Aroer [town which is] near Rabbah [town];
Jazer vangpui hoi kamtong Gilead prae ih vangpui boih, Ammon kaminawk ih prae ahap, Rabbah vangpui hmaa ah kaom Aroer vangpui khoek to,
26 the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;
Heshbon vangpui hoi kamtong Ramath-Mizpah vangpui, Betonim vangpui khoek to, Mahanaim vangpui hoi kamtong Debir vangpui khoek to,
27 Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon [cities] in the valley; and the other area that King Sihon had ruled on the east side of the Jordan River. That area extended [north] to the southern end of Galilee Lake.
azawn tangtling ah, Beth-Aram, Beth-Nimrah, Sukkoth hoi Zaphon hoi Heshbon siangpahrang Sihon ukkhaih prae boih, Jordan vapui ni angyae bang, Jordan vapui hoi prae angzithaih, Kinnereth tuipui boenghaih prae khoek to athum;
28 All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
hae ih vangpuinawk hoi vangtanawk loe Gad acaeng boih mah qawk ah toep o ih hmuen ah oh.
29 Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Mosi mah ahap Manasseh acaengnawk hanah qawk pazet pae; Manasseh acaeng ahap imthung takoh kami boih hanah qawk ah paek ih hmuen loe;
30 Their land extended [north] from Mahanaim [city]. It included all the Bashan region, all the land that King Og had ruled, and all the towns in the Jair area in Bashan. Altogether that area included 60 towns.
Mahanaim hoi kamtong Bashan prae boih, Bashan siangpahrang Og ih prae boih; Bashan prae thungah kaom, Jair kaminawk ohhaih vangpui quitarukto athum;
31 Their area also included half of the Gilead region, and the cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei where King Og had ruled. All that area was allotted to the clans descended from Manasseh’s son Makir.
Gilead prae ahap, Ashtaroth hoi Edrei vangpui, Bashan prae thung kaom Og siangpahrang ih vangpuinawk to, Manasseh capa Makir ih caanawk, ahap Makir caanawk ih imthong kami boih hanah a paek.
32 Moses had allotted to those tribes the land that was on the plain of the Moab [region], on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.
Hae loe Mosi mah, Jordan vapui ni angyae bang, Jeriko vangpui taeng ih Moab azawn tangtling ah qawk ah paek ih prae ah oh o.
33 But Moses did not allot any land to the tribe of Levi because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, promised that he himself would always provide for them.
Toe Levi acaeng han loe Mosi mah qawk to paek ai; nihcae khaeah thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw loe, nihcae ih qawk ah oh.
