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.
Ary Josoa dia efa zoki-olona sady nandroso fahanterana, dia hoy Jehovah taminy: Efa zoki-olona ianao ka mandroso fahanterana, ary be dia be ny tany sisa tsy mbola azo.
2 Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
Izao no tany sisa tsy mbola azo: Ny tany rehetra an’ ny Filistina sy ny Gesorita rehetra,
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,
hatrany Sihora, izay atsinanan’ i Egypta, ka hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ i Elzrona eo avaratra, izay atao ho an’ ny Kananita, ireo andriana dimy amin’ ny Filistina dia ny Gazita sy ny Asdodita sy ny Askelonita sy ny Gatita sy ny Ekronita ary ny Avita
4 which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
any atsimo, dia ny tanin’ ny Kananita rehetra sy Meara, izay an’ ny Sidoniana, hatrany Afeka ka hatramin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny Amorita,
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.
ary ny tanin’ ny Gebalita sy Libanona rehetra any atsinanana, hatrany Bala-gada eo am-bodin’ ny tendrombohitra Hermona ka hatrany akaikin’ i Hamata,
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.
ary ny mponina rehetra any amin’ ny tany havoana hatrany Libanona ka hatrany Misrefota-mamia, dia ny Sidoniana rehetra, Izaho no handroaka kanefa zarao amin’ ny filokana ho lovan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy araka izay efa nandidiako anao.
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].”
Ary ankehitriny zarao izao tany izao ho lovan’ ny firenena sivy sy ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i 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].
Ary niaraka tamin’ ireo koa no nahazoan’ ny Robenita sy ny Gadita ny lovany, dia ilay nomen’ i Mosesy azy any an-dafy atsinanan’ i Jordana, araka izay nomen’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, azy,
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].
dia hatrany Aroera, izay eo amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, ary ny tanàna izay eo afovoan’ ny lohasaha sy ny tany lemaka rehetra any Medeba ka hatrany Dibona,
10 All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
ary ny tanàna rehetra izay an’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay nanjaka tany Hesbona, hatramin’ ny faritanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona,
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.
ary Gileada sy ny tanin’ ny Gesorita sy ny Makatita sy ny tendrombohitra Hermona rehetra ary Basana rehetra hatrany 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.
dia ny fanjakana rehetra an’ i Oga tany Basana, izay nanjaka tany Astarta sy Edrehy (izy ihany no sisa tamin’ ny Refaïta); fa resin’ i Mosesy ireny ka noroahiny.
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.
Kanefa tsy mba noroahin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny Gesorita sy ny Makatita; fa mitoetra eo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely mandraka androany ny Gesorita sy ny Makatita.
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].
Ny firenen’ i Levy ihany no tsy nomeny lova; ny fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no lovany araka izay nolazainy taminy.
15 Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
Ary nomen’ i Mosesy lova ny firenena taranak’ i Robena araka ny fokony
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.
Ary ny fari-taniny dia hatrany Aroera, izay eo amoron’ ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, ary ny tanàna izay eo afovoan’ ny lohasaha sy ny tany lemaka rehetra any Medeba,
17 It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,
dia Hesbona sy ny tanànany rehetra, izay eo amin’ ny tany lemaka, sy Dibona sy Bamotabala sy Beti-bala-meona
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
sy Jahaza sy Kedemota sy Mefata
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,
sy Kiria-taima sy Sibma sy Zareta-sahara amin’ ny tendrombohitra ao an-dohasaha,
20 Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.
sy Beti-peora sy ny ao am-bodin’ i Pisga ary Beti-jesimota
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.
ary ny tanàna rehetra any amin’ ny tany lemaka sy ny fanjakana rehetra an’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay nanjaka tany Hesbona fa resin’ i Mosesy izy sy ireo andrianan’ ny Midianita, dia Evy sy Rekema sy Zora sy Hora ary Reba, andriana izay nanoa an’ i Sihona ka nitoetra teo amin’ ny tany.
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.
Ary Balama, mpanao fankatovana, zanak’ i Beora, dia novonoin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny sabatra niaraka tamin’ izay novonoiny.
23 The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
Ary ny fari-tanin’ ny taranak’ i Robena dia ny amoron’ i Jordana. Izay no lovan’ ny taranak’ i Robena araka ny fokony, dia ny tanàna sy ny zana-bohiny.
24 Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
Ary nomen’ i Mosesy koa ny firenen’ i Gada, dia ny taranak’ i Gada araka ny fokony.
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];
Ary ny faritaniny dia Jazera sy ny tanàna rehetra any Gileada ary ny antsasaky ny tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, hatrany Aroera, izay tandrifin’ i Raba,
26 the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;
ary hatrany Hesbona ka hatrany Ramatamizpa sy Betonima ary hatrany Mahanaima ka hatramin’ ny faritanin’ i Debira;
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.
ary teo amin’ ny lohasaha Beti-harama sy Beti-nimra sy Sokota sy Zafona ary ny sisa tamin’ ny fanjakan’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ i Hesbona, sy ny amoron’ i Jordana hatramin’ ny amoron’ ny Ranomasina Kinereta an-dafy atsinanan’ i Jordana.
28 All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
Izany no lovan’ ny taranak’ i Gada araka ny fokony, dia ny tanàna sy ny zana-bohiny.
29 Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Ary nomen’ i Mosesy koa ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase; ary izao no an’ ny antsasaky ny firenena taranak’ i Manase araka ny fokony:
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.
Ny fari-taniny hatrany Mahanaima, dia Basana rehetra, izay fanjakana rehetra an’ i Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, ary ny tanàna madinika rehetra an’ i Jaïra, izay any Basana, dia tanàna enim-polo.
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.
Ary ny antsasak’ i Gileada sy Astarta ary Edrehy, tanàna amin’ ny fanjakan’ i Oga any Basana, dia an’ ny taranak’ i Makira, zanak’ i Manase, dia ho an’ ny antsasaky ny taranak’ i Makira araka ny fokony.
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.
Ireo no voazaran’ i Mosesy ho lova tany Arbota-moaba an-dafy atsinanan’ i Jordana tandrifin’ i 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.
Ary ny firenen’ i Levy tsy mba nomen’ i Mosesy lova; fa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no lovany, araka izay efa nolazainy taminy.
