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.
Awo Yoswa bwe yali ng’akaddiye ng’amaze emyaka mingi. Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Okaddiye omaze emyaka mingi naye, wakyaliwo ensi nnyingi nnyo ez’okuwangula.
2 Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
“Zino z’ensi ezikyaliwo: “ensi yonna ey’Abafirisuuti n’Abaseguli
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,
okuva ku mugga Sikoli oguli ebuvanjuba wa Misiri, n’okwambukira ddala ku nsalo y’e Ekuloni emanyiddwa nga ey’Abakanani, eriyo abafuzi bataano ab’Abafirisuuti, ow’e Gaza, n’ow’e Asudodi, n’ow’e Asukulooni, n’ow’e Gaasi n’ow’e Ekuloni awamu n’Abavi.
4 which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
Okuva mu bukiikaddyo ensi yonna ey’Abakanani, ne Meyala ekya Basidoni, okutuuka ku Afiki, ku nsalo ey’Abamoli,
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.
n’ensi y’Abagebali, ne Lebanooni yonna, ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, n’okuva ku Baalugadi wansi w’olusozi Kerumooni okutuuka w’oyingirira e Kamasi.
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.
“N’abantu bonna ab’omu nsozi za Lebanooni okutuuka ku Misurefosumayima, be Basidoni bonna; nze kennyini ndibagoba mbaggye mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri. Kakasa nti ensi eno ogigabira abaana ba Isirayiri nga bwe nakulagira.
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].”
Noolwekyo ojja kugigabanya ng’omugabo eri ebika omwenda era n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya 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].
Ekitundu ekirala ekya Manase, n’Abalewubeeni n’Abagaadi ne baweebwa omugabo gwabwe, Musa bwe yabawa emitala wa Yoludaani ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba nga Musa omuweereza wa Mukama bwe yabagabira.
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].
Okuva ku Aloweri ekiri ku mabbali g’ekiwonvu ekya Alunoni, n’ekibuga ekiri wakati mu kiwonvu, n’olusenyi lwonna olwa Medeba okutuuka ku Diboni;
10 All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
n’ebibuga byonna ebya Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, eyafuga mu Kesuboni, okutuuka ku nsalo y’abaana ba Amoni.
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.
Era kyatwaliramu Gireyaadi, n’ekitundu ky’Abagesuli, n’Abamaakasi, n’olusozi lwonna Kerumooni ne Basani yonna okutuukira ddala ku 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.
Obwakabaka bwonna obwa Ogi mu Basani, eyali afuga mu Asutaloosi ne mu Ederei, ye yali asigaddewo yekka ku Balefa, bwawangulwa Musa n’atwala ensi yaabwe.
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.
Naye abaana ba Isirayiri tebaawangula Bagesuli wadde Abamaakasi, bwe kityo Abagesuli n’Abamaakasi ne babeera wakati mu bo ne leero.
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].
Ekika kya Leevi kyokka Musa ky’ataawa mugabo, ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’omuliro eri Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, gwe mugabo gwe nga bwe yamugamba.
15 Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
Musa yagabira ekika ky’abaana ba Lewubeeni ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali:
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.
Ensalo yaabwe ng’eva ku Aloweri, ekiri ku mabbali g’ekiwonvu eky’Alunoni, n’ekibuga ekiri wakati mu kiwonvu, n’olusenyi lwonna oluliraanye Medeba,
17 It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,
ne Kesuboni, n’ebibuga byakyo byonna ebiri mu lusenyi, ne Diboni ne Bamosi Baali, ne Besubaalumyoni;
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
ne Yakazi, ne Kedemosi, ne Mefaasi;
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,
ne Kiriyasayimu, ne Sibuma, ne Zeresusakali ku lusozi olw’Ekiwonvu,
20 Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.
ne Besupyoli ne Pisuga awayambukirwa ku lusozi, ne Besu Yesimosi,
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.
n’ebibuga byonna eby’omu lusenyi, n’obwakabaka bwonna obwa Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, eyafugira mu Kesuboni, Musa gwe yawangula awamu n’abaami abaali bafuga ab’e Midiyaani, eri ne Lekemu, ne Zuuli, ne Kuli ne Leba, n’abalangira ba Sikoni abaabeeranga mu nsi.
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.
Era ne mu abo be batta n’ekitala, abaana ba Isirayiri battiramu n’omulaguzi Balamu omwana wa Byoli.
23 The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
Era n’ensalo y’abaana ba Lewubeeni yali omugga Yoludaani. Ebibuga n’ebyalo byamu Musa yabiwa abaana ba Lewubeeni okuba omugabo gwabwe.
24 Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
Musa yagabira ekika kya Gaadi omugabo ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali:
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];
Ettaka lyabwe lyali Yazeri, n’ebibuga byonna ebya Gireyaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ensi y’abaana ba Amoni, okutuuka ku Aloweri okumpi ne Labba,
26 the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;
n’okuva e Kesuboni okutuuka ku Lamasumizupe, ne Betonimu, era n’okuva ku Makanayimu okutuuka mu nsi y’e 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.
ne mu kiwonvu, Besukalamu, ne Besu Nimira, ne Sukkosi, ne Zafoni, n’ekitundu ekyasigalawo ekyobwakabaka bwa Sikoni kabaka ow’e Kesuboni, Yoludaani n’ensalo yaagwo, okutuuka ku lubalama lw’ennyanja ey’e Kinneresi emitala wa Yoludaani ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba.
28 All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
Eyo y’ensi eyafuuka omugabo gw’abaana ba Gaadi ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali, ebibuga n’ebyalo byamu.
29 Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Musa n’awa ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase omugabo gwabwe, abaana ba Manase ne bagabirwa omugabo ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
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.
N’ensalo yaabwe ng’eya Makanayimu, n’eyita mu Basani n’obwakabaka bwonna obwa Ogi kabaka w’e Basani, n’ebibuga ebya Yayiri, ebiri mu Basani ebibuga nkaaga;
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.
n’ekitundu ekimu ekya Gireyaadi ne Asutaloosi, ne Ederei, ebibuga eby’obwakabaka bwa Ogi mu Basani byali b’abaana ba Makiri omwana wa Manase, ekitundu eky’abaana ba Makiri ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
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.
Ogwo gwe mugabo Musa gwe yagaba mu nsenyi eza Mowaabu, emitala wa Yoludaani ebuvanjuba bwa Yeriko.
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.
Naye ekika kya Leevi Musa teyakiwa mugabo. Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, ye mugabo gwabwe gwe yabawa, nga Mukama bwe yabasuubiza.
