Joshua 18
1 And alle the sones of Israel weren gaderid in Silo, and there thei `settiden faste the tabernacle of witnessing; and the lond was suget to hem.
Atagonjetsa dziko lonse Aisraeli anasonkhana ku Silo ndipo anayimikako tenti ya msonkhano.
2 Sotheli seuene linagis of the sones of Israel dwelliden, that hadden not yit takun her possessiouns.
Koma pa nthawiyo nʼkuti mafuko asanu ndi awiri a Aisraeli asanalandire cholowa chawo.
3 To whiche Josue seide, Hou longe faden ye `bi cowardise, `ethir slouthe, and entren not to welde the lond, which the Lord God of youre fadris yaf to you?
Ndipo Yoswa anati kwa Aisraeli, “Kodi mudikira mpaka liti kuti mulowe ndi kulanda dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wa makolo anu wakupatsani?
4 Chese ye of ech lynage thre men, that Y sende hem, and thei go, and cumpasse the lond; and that thei discryue `the lond bi the noumbre of ech multitude, and brynge to me that, that ye han discriued.
Sankhani amuna atatu kuchokera ku fuko lililonse ndipo ine ndidzawatuma kuti akayendere dzikolo ndi kukalilembera bwino kuti ndiligawe kukhala lawo. Akatero, abwererenso kwa ine.
5 Departe ye the lond to you in to seuene partis; Judas be in hise termes at the south coost, and `the hows of Joseph at the north;
Aligawe dzikolo mʼzigawo zisanu ndi ziwiri; fuko la Yuda lidzakhale ndi dziko lake la kummwera ndi nyumba ya Yosefe ikhalebe mʼdziko lawo la kumpoto.
6 discryue ye `the myddil lond bitwixe hem in to seuene partis; and thanne ye schulen come to me, that Y sende lot to you here bifor youre Lord God;
Mudzalembe mawu ofotokoza za zigawo zisanu ndi ziwiri za dzikolo, ndi kubwera nawo kwa ine. Tsono ineyo ndidzakuchitirani maere pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wanu.
7 for the part of Leuytis is not among you, but the preesthod of the Lord, this is the eritage `of hem. Forsothe Gad, and Ruben, and the half lynage of Manasses hadden take now her possessiouns ouer Jordan, at the eest coost, whiche possessiouns Moises, the `seruaunt of the Lord, yaf to hem.
Alevi asakhale ndi dziko pakati panu, chifukwa gawo lawo ndi kutumikira Yehova pa ntchito ya unsembe. Ndipo Gadi, Rubeni ndi theka la fuko la Manase analandira kale cholowa chawo kummawa kwa Yorodani. Mose mtumiki wa Yehova ndiye anawapatsa.”
8 And whanne the men hadden rise to go, to discryue the lond, Josue comaundide to hem, and seide, Cumpasse ye the lond, and discryue it, and turne ayen to me, that Y sende lot to you here in Silo, bifore youre Lord God.
Anthuwo akupita kukalembera dzikolo, Yoswa anawalangiza kuti, “Pitani mukayendere ndi kulembera dzikolo. Kenaka mukabwere kwa ine, ndidzakuchitirani maere kuno ku Silo pamaso pa Yehova.”
9 And so thei yeden, and cumpassiden that lond, and departiden `in to seuene partis, writynge in a book; and thei turneden ayen to Josue, in to the castels in Silo.
Ndipo anthu anachoka ndi kukayendera dziko lonse. Iwo analemba bwinobwino mʼbuku za dzikolo, mzinda ndi mzinda. Analigawa magawo asanu ndi awiri, ndipo anabwerera kwa Yoswa ku misasa ya ku Silo.
10 Which Josue sente lottis bifor the Lord God in Silo, and departide the lond to the sones of Israel, in to seuene partis.
Pambuyo pake Yoswa anawachitira maere ku Silo pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo fuko lililonse la Israeli analigawira dziko lake.
11 And the firste lot of the sones of Beniamyn, bi her meynees, stiede, that thei schulden welde the lond bitwixe the sones of Juda and the sones of Joseph.
