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.

Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Joshua aarĩ mũndũ mũkũrũ na mĩaka yake ĩkaingĩha-rĩ, Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ mũkũrũ mũno, na no gũtigarĩte bũrũri mũnene mũno wa kwĩgwatĩrwo ũtuĩke wanyu.

2 Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;

“Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũtigarĩte: nĩ ngʼongo ciothe cia Afilisti na cia Ageshuru:

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,

kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Shihoru mwena wa irathĩro wa bũrũri wa Misiri, o nginya bũrũri wa Ekironi ũrĩa ũrĩ mwena wa gathigathini, ũrĩa wonagwo ũrĩ bũrũri wa Akaanani (nĩguo bũrũri wa aathani arĩa atano a Afilisti arĩa maathanaga kũu Gaza, na Ashidodi, na Ashikeloni, na Gathu, na Ekironi, nĩguo bũrũri wa Aavimu);

4 which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;

kuuma gũthini, bũrũri wothe wa andũ a Kaanani, kuuma Ara kwa Asidoni gũthiĩ nginya Afeku, rũgongo rwa Aamori,

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.

na bũrũri wa a Gebali; na Lebanoni guothe nginya mwena wa irathĩro, kuuma Baali-Gadi mũhuro wa kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni nginya Lebo-Hamathu.

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.

“Andũ othe arĩa matũũraga bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma kuuma Lebanoni nginya Misirefothu-Maimu, na nĩo Asidoni othe, nĩ niĩ ngaamaingata mehere mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli. Nawe ũtigĩrĩre nĩwagaĩra Isiraeli bũrũri ũcio ũtuĩke igai rĩao o ta ũrĩa ngwathĩte,

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].”

na ũũgae ũtuĩke igai harĩ mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo kenda, hamwe na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase.”

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].

Nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ ya andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, na wa Rubeni na wa Gadi nĩmarĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra igai rĩrĩa Musa aamaheete kũu mwena wa irathĩro rĩa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, ta ũrĩa we Musa ndungata ya Jehova aamaheete.

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].

Naguo mũhaka ũcio woimĩte Aroeri rũteere-inĩ rwa mũkuru wa Arinoni, na kuuma itũũra rĩrĩa rĩarĩ gatagatĩ ka mũkuru ũcio, hamwe na werũ ũrĩa mũtũũgĩru kũu Medeba, nginya o Diboni,

10 All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.

na matũũra mothe ma Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa wathamakaga Heshiboni, nginya o mũhaka wa Aamoni.

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.

Ningĩ ũgakinya Gileadi, bũrũri wa andũ a Geshuru na Maaka, o na kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni guothe, na Bashani guothe, o nginya Saleka,

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.

ũguo nĩ kuuga ũthamaki wothe wa Ogu kũu Bashani, ũrĩa waathanaga Ashitarothu na Edirei, nake ũcio nĩwe warĩ wa mũico wa matigari ma Arefaimu. Musa nĩamatooretie na agataha bũrũri wao.

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.

No rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli matiigana kũingata andũ a Geshuru na Maaka; nĩ ũndũ ũcio matũũraga hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli nginya ũmũthĩ.

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].

No ndaigana kũhe Alawii igai, kuona atĩ maruta mothe ma njino marĩa maarutagĩrwo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩmo maarĩ igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.

15 Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.

Nake Musa akĩgaĩra mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:

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.

Bũrũri ũrĩa uumĩte Aroeri rũteere-inĩ rwa mũkuru wa Arinoni, na kuuma itũũra rĩrĩa rĩarĩ gatagatĩ ka mũkuru ũcio, na kũrĩa guothe gũtũũgĩru kũhĩtũka Medeba,

17 It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,

nginya Heshiboni na matũũra marĩo marĩa maarĩ werũ-inĩ ũcio mũtũũgĩru, na nĩmo Diboni, na Bamothu Baali, na Bethi-Baali-Meoni, na

18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

Jahazu, na Kedemothu, na Mefaathu, na

19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,

Kiriathaimu, na Sibima, na Zerethu-Shaharu rĩrĩa rĩrĩ kĩrĩma igũrũ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kũu gĩtuamba kĩu,

20 Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.

na Bethi-Peoru, na iharũrũka cia Pisiga, na Bethi-Jeshimothu,

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.

o na matũũra mothe marĩa maarĩ werũ-inĩ ũcio mũtũũgĩru o hamwe na ũthamaki wothe wa Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni. Musa nĩamũtooretie na agatooria anene a Midiani, na Evi, nao nĩ Rekemu, na Zuru, na Huri, na Reba, anene maanyiitanĩte na Sihoni arĩa maatũire bũrũri ũcio.

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.

Hamwe na arĩa mooragĩirwo mbaara-inĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmooragĩte Balamu mũrũ wa Beori ũrĩa warĩ mũragũri na rũhiũ rwa njora.

23 The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].

Mũhaka wa mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni warĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Matũũra macio hamwe na tũtũũra twamo nĩmo maarĩ igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.

24 Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.

Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa Musa aaheete mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:

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];

Nĩ bũrũri wa Jazeri, na matũũra mothe ma Gileadi, na nuthu ya bũrũri wa andũ a Amoni o nginya Aroeri, gũkuhĩ na Raba;

26 the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;

na kuuma Heshiboni nginya Ramathu-Mizipe na Betonimu, na kuuma Mahanaimu o nginya bũrũri wa Debiri;

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.

na kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ, na Bethi-Haramu, na Bethi-Nimira, na Sukothu, na Zafoni hamwe na kũu kũngĩ gwathanagwo nĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni (mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, bũrũri ũrĩa ũkinyĩte mũthia-inĩ wa Iria rĩa Kinerethu).

28 All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.

Matũũra macio hamwe na tũtũũra twamo nĩmo maatuĩkire igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.

29 Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.

Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa Musa aaheete nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, ũguo nĩ kuuga nuthu ya nyũmba ya njiaro cia Manase, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:

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.

Nĩ bũrũri ũrĩa uumĩte o Mahanaimu, hamwe na Bashani guothe, kũrĩa guothe gwathanagwo nĩ Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, o na matũũra mothe ma Jairu kũu Bashani, namo mothe nĩ matũũra mĩrongo ĩtandatũ,

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.

nuthu ya Gileadi, na Ashitarothu na Edirei (matũũra ma mũthamaki ma Ogu marĩa maarĩ kũu Bashani). Kũu nĩkuo kwarĩ kwa njiaro cia Makiru mũrũ wa Manase, ũguo nĩ kuuga nuthu ya ariũ a Makiru, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.

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.

Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo igai rĩrĩa Musa aaheanĩte hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarĩ kũu werũ-inĩ wa Amoabi mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, mwena wa irathĩro wa Jeriko.

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.

No rĩrĩ, mũhĩrĩga wa Lawi ndwaheirwo igai nĩ Musa; Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩwe igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.
