Joshua 18
1 And all the company of the sons of Israel are assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the tent of meeting to tabernacle there, and the land hath been subdued before them.
Sima na bana ya Isalaele kozwa bokonzi likolo ya mokili, lisanga na bango mobimba esanganaki na Silo mpe batelemisaki kuna Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
2 And there are left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance, seven tribes,
Kasi kati na bana ya Isalaele, ezalaki na mabota sambo oyo ezwaki nanu te libula na yango ya mabele.
3 and Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Till when are ye remiss to go in to possess the land which He hath given to you, Jehovah, God of your fathers?
Jozue alobaki na bana ya Isalaele: « Kino tango nini bokozela mpo na kokende kozwa mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, apesaki bino?
4 Give for you three men for a tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come in unto me,
Bopona bato misato kati na libota moko na moko. Nakotinda bango mpo ete bakende kotambola kati na mokili mpe kotia bandelo na yango kolanda libula ya libota na libota; bongo na sima nde bakoki kozonga epai na ngai.
5 and they have divided it into seven portions — Judah doth stay by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph do stay by their border on the north —
Bakokabola mokili yango na biteni sambo; bakitani ya Yuda bakotikala na eteni na bango ya mabele ya ngambo ya sude, mpe bakitani ya Jozefi bakotikala na eteni na bango ya mabele ya ngambo ya nor.
6 and ye describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] in unto me hither, and I have cast for you a lot here before Jehovah our God;
Sima na bino kosala mabongisi ya kokabola mokili na biteni sambo, bomemela ngai yango awa, mpe ngai nakobeta zeke mpo na bino liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
7 for there is no portion to the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of Jehovah [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses servant of Jehovah gave to them.'
Kasi bakitani ya Levi bakotikala kozwa eteni moko te ya mabele elongo na bino, pamba te mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe nde ekozala libula na bango. Bato ya libota ya Gadi, ya Ribeni mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase, bazwaki eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize, mosali na Yawe, apesaki bango na ngambo ya este ya Yordani. »
8 And the men rise and go; and Joshua commandeth those who are going to describe the land, saying, 'Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and turn back unto me, and here I cast for you a lot before Jehovah in Shiloh.'
Tango bato batelemaki mpo na kokende kosala mabongisi ya kokabola mokili, Jozue apesaki mitindo oyo: « Bokende kotambola kati na mokili, bokata bandelo na yango, mpe na sima, bozongela ngai awa na Silo, mpe ngai nakobeta zeke mpo na bino liboso ya Yawe. »
9 And the men go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a book, and they come in unto Joshua, unto the camp, [at] Shiloh.
Boye, bato oyo bakendeki, batambolaki kati na mokili, bakataki bandelo na yango mpe batiaki yango na mokanda, engumba na engumba, mpe bakabolaki mokili mobimba na biteni sambo; bongo na sima, bazongaki na Silo, na molako epai ya Jozue.
10 And Joshua casteth for them a lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, and there Joshua apportioneth the land to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions.
Jozue abetaki zeke mpo na bango liboso ya Yawe, na Silo, mpe kuna akabolaki mokili kati na bana ya Isalaele kolanda mabota na bango.
11 And a lot goeth up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goeth out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
Zeke ekweyaki epai ya libota ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango. Eteni ya mabele oyo epesamelaki bango na zeke ezalaki na kati-kati ya mabele ya bakitani ya Yuda mpe ya Jozefi.
12 And the border is to them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border hath gone up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;
Na ngambo ya nor, mondelo na bango ezalaki longwa na Yordani, emataki na mopanzi ya Jeriko, ekatisaki mokili ya bangomba, na ngambo ya weste, mpe esukaki na esobe, na Beti-Aveni.
13 and the border hath gone over thence to Luz, unto the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border hath gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;
Mondelo yango elekelaki wana mpe ekendeki kino na Luze, na mopanzi na yango ya ngambo ya sude, oyo ezali Beteli; ekendeki kotutana na Ataroti-Adari, na ngomba oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya sude ya Beti-Oroni, mokili ya se.
14 and the border hath been marked out, and hath gone round to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been unto Kirjath-Baal (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this [is] the west quarter.
Longwa na ngomba moke oyo etalana na Beti-Oroni na ngambo ya sude, mondelo yango ebalukaki na ngambo ya weste, mpe esukaki na Kiriati-Bala, oyo ekoma Kiriati-Yearimi, engumba ya bakitani ya Yuda. Yango nde ezalaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya weste.
15 And the south quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border hath gone out westward, and gone out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;
Na ngambo ya sude, mondelo yango ebandaki longwa na Kiriati-Yearimi, na ngambo ya weste, mpe ekendeki kobima na etima ya mayi ya Nefitoa.
16 and the border hath come down unto the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the valley of the son of Hinnom, which [is] in the valley of the Rephaim northward, and hath gone down the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel,
Ekitaki kino na ebandeli ya ngomba moke oyo etalana na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, na ngambo ya nor ya etando ya bato ya Refayimi. Ekitaki na Lubwaku ya Inomi, na mopanzi ya ngambo ya sude ya engumba ya bato ya Yebusi kino na Eyini-Rogeli.
17 and hath been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out unto Geliloth, which [is] over-against the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
Ebalukaki na ngambo ya nor, elekelaki na Eyini-Shemeshi, elekaki na Geliloti oyo etalana na nzela emata kino na Adumimi; sima ekitaki kino na Libanga ya Boani, mwana mobali ya Ribeni.
18 and passed over unto the side over-against Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;
Elekaki na mopanzi ya ngambo ya nor, liboso ya Beti-Araba, mpe ekitaki kino na etando ya Araba.
19 and the border hath passed over unto the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been unto the north bay of the salt sea, unto the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;
Mondelo yango elekelaki na mopanzi ya Beti-Ogila, na ngambo ya nor, mpe esukaki na eteni ya mabele oyo ekota na mayi ya ebale monene ya Barozo, na ngambo ya nor, na suka ya ngambo ya sude ya Yordani. Yango nde ezalaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya sude.
20 and the Jordan doth border it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders round about, for their families.
Ebale ya Yordani ekomaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya este. Yango nde ezalaki bandelo ya libula ya mabota ya bakitani ya Benjame na bangambo nyonso.
21 And the cities for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families, have been Jericho, and Beth-Hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
Tala bingumba ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango: Jeriko, Beti-Ogila, Emeki-Ketsitsi,
22 and Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, and Beth-El,
Beti-Araba, Tsemarayimi, Beteli,
23 and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

24 and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and their villages.

28 and Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi (it [is] Jerusalem), Gibeath, Kirjath: fourteen cities and their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, for their families.
Tsela, Elefi, engumba ya Yebusi oyo ezali Yelusalemi, Gibea, Kiriati: bingumba nyonso ezalaki zomi na minei elongo na bamboka na yango ya mike-mike. Yango nde ezalaki libula ya mabele ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango.
