< 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.
Waaqayyos yeroo Iyyaasuun bara dheeraa jiraatee dulloometti akkana jedheen; “Ati amma akka malee dulloomteerta; garuu amma iyyuu lafti dhaalamuu qabu baayʼeetu jira.
2 Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
“Lafti hafe sunis kanaa dha: “guutummaa biyya Filisxeemotaatii fi Geshuurotaa,
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,
karaa baʼa Gibxiitiin laga Shihoorii hamma kaaba daarii Ashqaloonitti jiru hundi akka biyya Kanaʼaanotaatti hedama. Kunis biyya Awootaa kan kutaa biyyoota bulchitoota Filisxeemotaa shanan jechuunis Gaazaa, Ashdood, Eqroon, Gitii fi Eqroon;
4 which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
karaa kibbaatiin immoo guutummaa biyya Kanaʼaanotaa, Meʼaaraa Siidoonaatii hamma Afeeqiitti biyya Amoorotaa
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.
kan biyya Gebaalotaa ti; akkasumas karaa baʼaatiin guutummaa Libaanoon, Baʼaal Gaad kan Tulluu Hermoon jalaa hamma Leeboo Hamaatitti.
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.
“Ani mataan koo jiraattota biyya gaaraa kanneen Libaanoonii hamma Misrefooti Maayimiitti jiraatan jechuunis Siidoonota hunda fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee nan baasa. Ati akkuma ani si ajajetti biyya kana akka dhaalaatti Israaʼelootaaf hiri;
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].”
kanas gosoota sagallanii fi walakkaa gosa Minaaseetiif dhaala godhii hiri.”
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].
Walakkaan gosa Minaasee kaan, gosti Ruubeenii fi gosti Gaad biyya Yordaanosiin gama baʼaa kan Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo isaaniif kennee ture sana akkuma inni isaaniif qoodetti fudhatan.
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].
Biyyi sunis Aroʼeer kan qarqara Sulula Arnooniitti, argamtuu fi magaalaa walakkaa sulula sanaa keessaatii jalqabee dirree Meedebaan dabalatee hamma Diibooniitti diriira;
10 All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
akkasumas magaalaawwan Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa kan Heshboon bulchaa ture sanaa hunda dabalatee hamma daarii Amoonotaatti diriira ture.
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.
Kana malees Giliʼaad, biyya Geshuurotaatii fi Maʼakaatotaa, guutummaa Tulluu Hermoonii fi guutummaa Baashaan hamma Salkaatti
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.
jechuunis guutummaa mootummaa Oogi kan Baashaan keessaa isa Ashtaarotii fi Edreyii bulchaa ture kan sanyii Refaayimootaa keessaa isa dhumaa taʼe sanaatti diriira. Museenis isaan moʼatee biyya isaanii fudhate.
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.
Garuu sababii Israaʼeloonni ariʼanii isaan hin baasiniif Geshuuronnii fi Maʼakaatonni hamma ammaatti Israaʼeloota gidduu jiraatu.
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].
Gosa Lewwiitiif garuu inni dhaala tokko illee hin kennine; akkuma inni waadaa isaaniif gale sanatti aarsaan ibiddaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif dhiʼeeffamu dhaala isaaniitii.
15 Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
Wanni Museen gosa Ruubeeniif, balbala balbalaan kenne kanaa dha:
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.
Biyya Aroʼeer kan qarqara Sulula Arnoon, magaalattii walakkaa sululaatii jalqabee dirree Meedebaa bira jiru hunda
17 It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-Baal, Beth-Baal-Meon,
hamma Heshboonii fi magaalaawwan ishee kanneen dirree irra jiran hunda jechuunis Diiboon, Baamooti Baʼaal, Beet Baʼaal Meʼoon,
18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
Yaahizaa, Qidemoot, Meefiʼaat,
19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-Shahar on the hill overlooking the valley,
Kiriyaataayim, Sibimaa, Zeret Shahari ishee gaara sululaa irratti argamtu,
20 Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and Beth-Jeshimoth.
Beet Pheʼoor, tabba Phisgaatii fi Beet Yashiimoot
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.
jechuunis magaalaawwan dirree irraa hundumaa fi guutummaa mootummaa Sihoon mooticha Amoorotaa kan Heshboon keessa jiraatee bulchaa ture hundaa ti. Museenis Sihoonii fi bulchitoota Midiyaanotaa kanneen Eewii, Reqem, Zuuri, Huurii fi Rebaa moʼate; isaanis Sihooniin walii galanii biyya sana keessa jiraachaa turan.
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.
Israaʼeloonni warra lola keessatti ajjeefaman irratti dabalanii Balaʼaam ilma Beʼoor falfalticha sanas goraadeedhaan ajjeesan.
23 The [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
Daangaan Ruubeenotaa qarqara laga Yordaanos ture. Magaalaawwan kanneenii fi gandoonni isaanii akkuma balbala balbala isaaniitti dhaala gosa Ruubeen.
24 Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
Wanni Museen gosa Gaadiitiif balbala balbalaan kenne kanaa dha:
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];
Daangaan isaaniis Yaʼizeer, magaalaawwan Giliʼaad hundumaa fi walakkaa biyya Amoonotaa kan hamma Aroʼeeritti diriiree gara baʼa Rabbaatti argamuu dha;
26 the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] to the Debir region;
akkasuma Heshboonii jalqabee hamma Raamaatitti Miisphaa fi Betooniimitti, Mahanayiimii jalqabee hamma daangaa Debiiritti diriiruu dha;
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.
amma illee sulula keessa, Beet Haaraam, Beet Niimraa, Sukooti, Zaafoonii fi biyya Sihoon mootichi Heshboon bulchu kan gara baʼa Yordaanos kan hamma dhuma Galaana Kinereetitti diriiree jiru sanaa dha.
28 All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
Magaalaawwan kunneenii fi gandoonni isaanii akkuma balbala balbala isaaniitti dhaala gosa Gaad.
29 Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
Wanni Museen walakkaa gosa Minaaseetiif jechuunis walakkaa maatii sanyii Minaaseetiif balbala balbalaan kenne kanaa dha:
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.
Daangaa biyya Mahanayiimiitii jalqabee biyya Baashaan guutuu dabalatee naannoo bulchiinsa Oogi mooticha Baashaan jechuunis qubata Yaaʼiir kan Baashaan keessaa magaalaa jaatama,
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.
walakkaa biyya Giliʼaad, Ashtaarotii fi Edreyii, magaalaa Oogi mootichi Baashaan jiraatuutti diriira. Kunis qooda sanyii Maakiiriif ilma Minaasee jechuunis walakkaa ilmaan Maakiiriif balbala balbalaan kennamee dha.
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.
Kun dhaala Museen yeroo Yordaanos gama jechuunis gama baʼa Yerikoo dirree Moʼaab keessa ture sanatti qoodee dha.
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.
Gosa Lewwiitiif garuu Museen waan tokko illee hin kennine; akkuma inni waadaa isaaniif gale sanatti Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel dhaala isaanii ti.
