< 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 chu atehtan akum jong atamlheh tan, hichun Pakaiyin akomma hitihin thu ahin seijin ahi, “Nangla natehtan, nakumjong atamthim lhehtan ahinlah gamlahding hi atamlheh jeng nalaijin ahi.
2 Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
Gamlahding vatnalai hochu Philistinete gamleh Geshur gamho sese jong ahinalaije.
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,
Egypt solam’a um Sihor gamma konna Ekron solam gamgi changgei (Canaan gammia kisimma ahi) chuleh Philistine vaipote nga ho, Gaza, Ashdod, Gath, leh Ekron jong ahopmin chuleh Avvit mite gamjong ahopthan ahi.
4 which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
Lhanglam gamma ahileh Canaan mite gampumpi ahin, chule Sidon mite gamsunga Maarah changgei leh Aphek gei, chujongleh Amor mite gamgi changgei ahin,
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 mite leh Lebanon gampumpi, nisolam lengsese, Baal-gad khopi apat Hermon molsang nisolam gei ahin, Hamath khopi jotna kotphung gei ahithai,
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.
Chule Lebanon apatna Misrephothmaim changgeija mite ahiuvin, Sidon mite pumpummin thinglhang gamma cheng thinglhang mite aboncha ahiuve. Mihem hijat hi aboncha keima mong mong’in Israel chate masanga kadelmang ding ahi, nangma kahilla kathupeh bang bangchun agamhi Israelten alouva achenpha diuvin hoppeh poupou tan.
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].”
Chuti ahiyeh chun nangman tuhin hiche gamhi Israel phung holeh Manasseh phung kehkhat goulo din hoppehtan” ati.
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].
Manasseh phung kehkhat leh Reuben chate chule Gad chate chun Pakai lhacha Mose’n apehsao Jordan vadung gal nisolam gamsung chu agoulo achan diuvin akisem tauve.
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].
Agamchu Arnon phaicham pamchinna Aroer khopia pat phaicham lailunga khopi changgei ahipeh’in Madaba gam dokhang banga kikhangdohlai jong ahopsoh keijin Dibon changei ahi.
10 All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
Heshbon lengvaipo Amor mite lengpa Sihon khopi jouse jong ahin Ammon mite gamgi changei ahi.
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.
Chujongleh Gilead gam ahin, Geshur mite leh Ma-acath mite lhangmang geijin ahopmin Hermon molsang pumpi jong ahin, chuleh Bashan pumpi ahop peh’in Salicah gei ahipeh’e.
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.
Ashtaroth khopi le Edrei khopia lengvaipoa anapang Bashan gamsunga Og lengpa lenggam abonchan ahopmin hiche Og kitipa hi Repham mite lah’a achangseh'a anahingdoh mikhat jong ahi, hichengse hi Mose in gal’a akisatpia ajosoh keija adelmang sohkei ahi.
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.
Ahinlah Israel chaten Geshur mite leh Ma-acath mite chu tuni geijin Israel lailunga acheng cheng tauvin ahi.
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].
Mose in goulo ding apehlouhel phung chu Levi phungbou ahitai. Pakaiyin aseipeh banga Pakai Israel Pathen henga govam thilto chengse chu Levite chanding agoulo diuva ummah ahi.
15 Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
Reuben chate phung jongchu Mose in ama ama insung dungjui cheh’in agoulo diu anapei.
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.
Hijechun Reuben phung mite gamgi hopchu ahileh Arnon phaicham pamchinna kisa Aroer khopia kipan chuche phaicham lailunga khopi changei ahin, Medeba gam dokhang banga kikhangdoh chengse jong ahopme.
17 It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,
Heshbon khopi jong ahin dokhang banga kikhangdoh gamsunga Heshbon khopi jouse chutoh ahithai, akhopi hochu Dibon leh Bamoth leh Bamoth-baal, Bethbaalmeon jong ahin,
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
Jahaz jong Kedemoth jong Mepha-ath jong,
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,
Kiriatha-im jong Sibmah jong phaikola thinglhang vumma Zereth Shahar jong,
20 Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.
Bethpoer jong Pisgah lhang panglang sese jong Beth-jishimoth jong ahi.
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.
Hicheng lah’a hi dokhang langa kido gamsunga khopi jouse leh Amor mite lengpa Sihon lenggam pumpi ahithai, hiche Sihon hi Heshbon khopia lengvaipoa anapang ahin Mose in hiche Sihon hileh Midian lamkai ho Evi, Rekem, Zurle Hur chule Reba kiti Sihon lengpa chapate agamsunga chengse chu anajotha ahitai.
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.
Baalam kitipa Beor chapa phunsan thempa jongchu Israel chaten midang atha lah uva chu chemjamma asatlihthau ahitan ahi.
23 The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
Hitihin Reuben chate gamgi chu Jordan vadung hi ahiyenge. Hichehi Reuben chate goulo ahin, ama ama insung dungjui cheh’a khopiho jong khoneoho jong chentha cheh ahiuve.
24 Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
Gad phung jongchu Mose’in ama ama insung dungjui cheh in goulo gam anapei.
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];
Chule Gad chate gamgi hopsese chu, Jazer kho ahin, Gilead gam khopi chengse ahin, Ammon mite gamsung kehkhat toh ahin, chule Rabbah nisolama um Aroer khopi gei ahiye.
26 the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;
Chuin Heshbon khopia pat Ramath-mizpeh le Betonim khopi gei ahin, chule Mahanaim khopia pat Lo-debar gamsung gei ahiye.
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.
Chutengleh phaichamma ahileh Beth-haram ahin, Beth-nimrah ahin, Succoth ahin, chule Zaphon le Heshbon lengpa Sihon lenggam sunga adang jouse toh ahitha’n, Jordan gamgia vadung gamgia panga Jordan vadung gallama niso lamma Galilee tuilen tolam among lamtoh kimatpai ahitai.
28 All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
Hichehi ama ama insung dungjui cheh’a akhopi jouse leh akhoneo jouse pumpumma kihoppeh Gad chate gamchan agoulou ahi.
29 Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Manasseh phung kehkhat jong chu Mose in goulo gam anapen agam goulo chu Manasseh phung kehkhat jong ama ama insung dungjui cheh’in akihom’uvin ahi.
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.
Manasseh phung kehkhat gamhop lhang le molchu Mahanaim a ahung kipannin, Bashan gamsung jouse ahin adeh deh’in Bashan gamma Og lengpa lenggam pumpitoh Bashan gamsunga um Jair kholendom jouse jong ahin, abonchan khopi somgup jen alhing’in,
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 kikahtoh, Asharoth toh Edrei toh ahin, abonna hi Bashan gamsunga Og lengpa lenggama khopi jong ahiuve, hijat hi Manasseh chapa Makir chate leh Makir phungmite alangkhat kihomma ama ama insung dungjuija chan kipesohkei ahiuve.
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.
Gam goulo hijatpihi Mose in Jordan vadung gal Jericho khopi nisolam Moab phaichamma anahopdoh ahitai.
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.
Levi phung vangchu Mose in goulo gam achansah poi, ajeh chu Pakaiyin ajah uva aseisa banga Pakai Israel Pathen chu Levite goulo ahiyenge.
