Joshua 18
1 The Israeli people captured all the land [that they were able to], but there were still seven tribes that had not been allotted any land. The Israeli people all gathered at Shiloh, and they set up the Sacred Tent there.
U A hoakoakoaia ke anaina kanaka o ka poe mamo a Iseraela ma Silo, a malaila lakou i kukulu ai i ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka; a ua pio ko ka aina, imua o lakou.
Ehiku ohana i koe iho o na mamo a Iseraela, aole i loaa ia lakou ko lakou ainahooili.
3 Joshua said to them, “Why are you waiting a long time to take control of [the rest of] the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], has promised to give to you [RHQ]?
Olelo aku la o Iosua i na mamo a Iseraela, Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou molowa ana i ka hele e komo i ka aina a Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna i haawi mai ai ia oukou?
4 Choose three men from each of your seven tribes. Then I will send them to explore [the parts of] the land [which you have not occupied yet. When they finish exploring it], they must write a report, in which they will (make a map/show the boundaries) of the land that each tribe wants to receive.
E haawi mai nowaena o oukou i mau kanaka pakolu o keia ohana kela ohana, na'u lakou e hoouna aku; a e ku lakou iluna, a e kaahele i ka aina, a e hoailona iho e like me ko lakou ainahooili; alaila e hoi mai lakou io'u nei.
5 They will divide the remaining land into seven parts. The tribe of Judah will keep its land in the south, and the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh will keep their land in the north.
A e mahele lakou ia mea i ehiku mokuna; a e noho o Iuda ma ko lakou wahi ma ka hema; a o ka hale o Iosepa e noho lakou ma ko lakou wahi ma ka akau.
6 But in their report, the men from the seven tribes should describe the seven parts of the remaining land [that they wish to receive], and bring the report to me. While Yahweh is watching, I will (cast lots/throw marked stones) [to decide which land should be allotted to each tribe].
A e kakau oukou i ka aina i ehiku mokuna, a e lawe mai ia mea ia'u, i haawi aku au ia oukou maanei ma ka hailona imua o Iehova ko kakou Akua.
7 But the tribe of Levi will not be allotted any land, because their [reward is that they will be] Yahweh’s priests. The tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already been allotted their land on the east side of the Jordan [River], just as Moses, the man who served God [well], decided, [so they will not get any more land].”
No ka mea, aohe aina no ka Levi iwaena o oukou; o ka oihanakahuna na Iehova, oia kona ainahooili: a o ka Gada, a me ka Reubena a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, ua loaa ia lakou ko lakou ainahooili, ma kela kapa o Ioredane ma ka hikina, ka mea a Mose ke kauwa a Iehova i haawi aku ai no lakou.
8 When the men who were chosen [got ready to] leave, Joshua told them, “Go and explore the land. Then write a report of what you have seen, and bring it back to me. Then while Yahweh is watching, I will (cast lots/throw marked stones) here at Shiloh, [to determine what area each tribe will receive].”
Alaila, ku iluna na kanaka a hele aku la: a kauoha aku la o Iosua i ka poe hele e kakau i ka aina, i aku la, E hele poai i ka aina, a e kakau iho, a e hoi mai ia'u, i haawi aku au ia oukou ma ka hailona imua o Iehova ma Silo nei.
9 So the men left and walked through the area. Then they described in a scroll each town that was in the seven parts [into which they had divided] the land. Then they returned to Joshua, who was still at Shiloh.
A hele ua mau kanaka la a poai i ka aina, a kakau lakou ia mea ma na kulanakauhale, i ehiku aina iloko o ka buke; a hoi mai lakou io Iosua la ma kahi i hoomoana'i ma Silo.
10 [After Joshua read their report], while Yahweh was watching, he (cast lots/threw marked stones) to choose which land would be allotted to each of the seven Israeli tribes.
A hailona iho la o Iosua no lakou imua o Iehova ma Silo; a malaila mahele ae la o Iosua i ka aina no ka poe mamo a Iseraela mamuli o ko lakou mau papa.
11 The first tribe that was allotted land was the tribe of Benjamin. Each clan in that tribe was allotted some of the land that was between the area that was allotted to the tribe of Judah and the area that was allotted to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
Ua hailonaia ka ohana a ka poe Beniamina mamuli o ko lakou mau hale; a ua moe ae la ka mokuna o ko lakou aina mawaena o ka poe mamo a Iuda, a mawaena o ka poe mamo a Iosepa.
12 The northern border started at the Jordan [River] and extended west along the northern side of Jericho, into the hilly area. From there the border extended west to the desert near Beth-Aven [town].
A o ko lakou mokuna ma ka aoao akau, mai o Ioredane ae no ia; a ua pii ka mokuna i ka aoao o Ieriko ma ka akau, a ua pii ae la ma ka mauna ma ke komohana; a o kona welau, aia ma ka waonahele o Betavena.
13 From there it extended southwest to Luz (which is [now named] Bethel). From there it extended southwest to Ataroth-Addar [town], which is on the hill south of Lower Beth-Horon [city].
A moe ae la ka mokuna mailaila aku a hiki i Luza i ka aoao o Luza, ma ka hema o Betela no ia; a ua iho ka mokuna i Aterotadara ma ka puu e pili ana i ka aoao hema o Betehorona lalo.
14 At the hill south of Beth-Horon, the border turned and extended south to Kiriath-Baal [town], which is [also named] Kiriath-Jearim. That is a town where people of the tribe of Judah live. That was the western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin.
Ua kakauia ka mokuna mailaila aku a huli ia i ke kihi o ke kai ma ka hema, mai ka puu mai aia imua o Betehorona ma ka hema; a o kona welau aia ma Kiriatabaala, oia o Kiriatiarima, he kulanakauhale o ka Iuda. Oia ka aoao komohana.
15 The southern border of their land started near Kiriath-Jearim and extended west to Nephtoah Springs.
O kona aoao hema aia no ia mai ke kihi o Kiriatiarima, a hala ae la kona mokuna i ke komohana, a moe ae la ia a hiki i ka punawai o Napetoa.
16 From there it extended south to the bottom of the hill, near Ben-Hinnom Valley, on the north side of Repha Valley. The border extended south along the Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived, to En-Rogel.
A iho ka mokuna i ke kihi o ka mauna, aia imua o ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aia ma ke awawa o ka poe Repaima ma ka akau, a iho la ia i ke awawa a Hinoma a hiki i ka aoao o Iebusi ma ka hema, a iho ia i Enerogela,
17 From there the border extended west to En-Shemesh, and continued to Geliloth near Adummim Pass. Then it extended to the great stone of Reuben’s son Bohan.
Ua kakauia mai ka akau a hiki aku i Enesemeka, a moe ae la ia i Gelilota kahi kokoke i ka pii ana o Aduminia, a iho ia i ka pohaku o Bohana ke keiki a Reubena,
18 From there the border extended to the northern edge of Beth-Arabah [town] and down into the Jordan [River] Valley.
A hala ae la i ka aoao imua o Araba ma ka akau, a iho iho la i Araba.
19 From there it extended east to the northern edge of Beth-Hoglah [town] and ended at the north end of the Dead Sea, where the Jordan [River flows into the Dead Sea]. That was the southern boundary [of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin].
A moe ae la ka mokuna i ka aoao o Betehogela ma ka akau, a o ka welau o kona mokuna aia ma ke kaikuono akau o ka moanakai ma ka nuku o Ioredane. Oia ka mokuna hema.
20 The Jordan [River] was the eastern boundary of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. Those were the boundaries of the land allotted to them.
O Ioredane oia kona mokuna ma ka hikina: oia ka ainahooili o ka poe mamo a Beniamina, ma na mokuna a puni mamuli o ko lakou poe ohua.
21 The cities in the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin were Jericho, Beth-Hoglah, Emek-Keziz,
O na kulanakauhale o ka ohana a ka poe Beniamina mamuli o ko lakou mau hale, o Ieriko a me Betehogela, a me ke awawa o Keziza,
22 Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
O Betearaba, a me Zemaraima, a me Betela,
23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
O Avima a me Para a me Opera,
24 Kephar-Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba. Altogether there were fourteen towns and the surrounding villages.
O Heparahamonai, a me Openi, a me Gaba: he umikumamalua kulanakauhale, a me ko lakou mau kauhale:
25 The tribe of Benjamin also had the towns of Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
O Gibeona a me Rama a me Beerota,
26 Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah,
O Mizepa, a me Kepira, a me Moza,
27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
O Rekema, a me Irepeela, a me Tarala,
28 Zelah, Haeleph, the city where the Jebus people-group lived (which is [now named] Jerusalem), Gibeah, and Kiriath. Altogether there were 14 towns and the surrounding villages. All that area was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
O Zela, a me Elepa, a me Iebusi, oia o Ierusalema, a me Gibeata, a me Kiriata; he umikumamaha kulanakauhale a me ko lakou mau kauhale. Oia ka ainahooili o na keiki a Beniamina mamuli o ko lakou poe ohua.
