Yosua 13

1 Yosua tsi heku amegã azɔ, eye Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Fifia, èzu amegãɖeɖi, evɔ dukɔ geɖewo gali siwo dzi wòle be miaɖu.

Now Joshua was old and full of years; and the Lord said to him, You are old and full of years, and there is still very much land to be taken.

2 “Anyigba siwo kpɔtɔ la woe nye: “Filisti kple Gesur dukɔwo ƒe anyigba

This is the land which is still to be taken: all the country of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

From the Shihor, which is before Egypt, to the edge of Ekron to the north, which is taken to be Canaanite property: the five chiefs of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, as well as the Avvim;

4 le dziehe; Kanaantɔwo ƒe anyigba la katã gali kpe ɖe Ara, si nye Sidontɔwo tɔ heyi keke Afek le Amoritɔwo ƒe liƒo dzi ŋu.

On the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which is the property of the Zidonians, to Aphek, as far as the limit of the Amorites:

5 Gebalitɔwo ƒe anyigba kple Lebanonyigba blibo la ɖo ta ɣedzeƒe, tso Baal Gad, si le Hermon to la ƒe anyigbeme heyi Hamat mɔ la nu.

And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, looking east, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon as far as Hamath:

6 “Sidontɔwo, ame siwo le tonyigba la dzi le Lebanon towo kple Misrefat Maim dome la ƒe anyigba hã le eme. Mele klalo be manya dukɔ siawo katã ɖa le Israel dukɔ la ŋgɔ, eya ta bu anyigba siawo katã abe mia tɔwo ene,

All the people of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Zidonians; them will I send out from before the children of Israel: only make division of it to Israel for a heritage, as I have given you orders to do.

7 eye nàmae na Israel ƒe to asiekɛawo kple Manase ƒe to afã la abe ale si meɖo na wò ene.”

So now make division of this land for a heritage to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

8 Manase ƒe to la ƒe afã kple Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo xɔ woƒe domenyinu le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe xoxo, elabena Mose tsɔ anyigba sia na wo.

With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have been given their heritage, which Moses gave them, on the east side of Jordan, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them;

9 Woƒe anyigba la nye teƒe si tso Areor, le Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe balime ƒe toga kple du siwo le balime la, to Medeba ƒe togbɛnyigba dzi yi Dibon.

From Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land from Medeba to Dibon;

10 Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, ame si ƒe fiadu nye Hesbon la ƒe duwo hã nɔ anyigba la me, eye wòtso eme yi keke Amon ƒe liƒowo dzi.

And all the towns of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, to the limits of the children of Ammon;

11 Gilead kple anyigba si nye Gesuritɔwo kple Makatitɔwo tɔ kple Hermon to la, Basan to la kple Saleka du la

And Gilead, and the land of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;

All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who was ruling in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he was one of the last of the Rephaim); these did Moses overcome, driving them out of their country.

13 Ke Israelviwo menya Gesuritɔwo alo Makatitɔwo o, eya ta wogale Israelviwo dome va se ɖe egbe.

However, the people of Israel did not send out the Geshurites, or the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath are living among Israel to this day.

14 Ale si woma anyigba na Israel ƒe to vovovoawo la yi ale: Levitɔwo: Mose mena anyigba aɖeke Levitɔwo o, ke boŋ etsɔ vɔsanu siwo ameawo atsɔ vɛ na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la na wo.

Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no heritage; the offerings of the Lord, the God of Israel, made by fire are his heritage, as he said to him.

15 Ruben ƒe to: Mose na anyigba Ruben ƒe to la ɖe ƒome siwo le to la me la ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu.

And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Reuben by their families.

Their limit was from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land by Medeba;

17 Du siwo nɔ afi ma la woe nye Hesbon kple du bubu siwo le gbadzaƒe: Dibon, Bamɔt Baal, Bet Baal Meon,

And all the towns of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses overcame, together with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon, who were living in the land.

22 Israelviwo hã wu afakala Balaam si nye Beor ƒe vi la hã.

And Balaam, the son of Beor, the prophet, the children of Israel put to death with the sword.

23 Yɔdan tɔsisi lae nye Ruben ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba la ƒe liƒo le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.

And the limit of the children of Reuben was the edge of Jordan. This was the heritage of the children of Reuben by their families, with its towns and its unwalled places.

24 Gad ƒe to: Mose na anyigba Gad ƒe viwo ƒe to la ɖe ƒome siwo le to la me ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu.

And Moses gave their heritage to the tribe of Gad by their families.

25 Yazer kple Gilead ƒe duwo katã kple Amonyigba ƒe afã heyi Aroer le Raba gbɔ nɔ Gad ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba la me.

And their limit was Jazer, and all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer before Rabbah;

26 Anyigba la gatso Hesbon yi Ramat Mizpa kple Betonim, eye wògatso Mahanaim yi Lo Debir.

And from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the edge of Debir;

27 Teƒe siwo le anyigba sia me le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe balime la woe nye: Bet Haram, Bet Nimra, Sukɔt, Zafɔn kple Fia Sixɔn, ame si nɔ Hesbon la ƒe anyigba mamlɛa. Anyigba la ƒe liƒo le ɣetoɖoƒe lae nye, Yɔdan tɔsisi la yi anyigbeme va ɖo keke Galilea ƒu la ƒe dzigbeme.

And in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, king of Heshbon, having Jordan for its limit, to the end of the sea of Chinnereth on the east side of Jordan.

28 Esiawoe nye du siwo wotsɔ na ƒome siwo le Gad ƒe to la me abe woƒe domenyinu ene.

This is the heritage of the children of Gad by their families, with its towns and its unwalled places

29 Mose na anyigba Manase viwo ƒe to la ƒe afã le woƒe ƒomewo nu.

And Moses gave their heritage to the half-tribe of Manasseh by their families.

30 Ena anyigba wo tso Mahanaim. Basan blibo si nye Fia Ɔg ƒe fiaɖuƒe kple Yair kple Basan ƒe du blaade nɔ to sia ƒe anyigba me.

And their limit was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all Havvoth-Jair, in Bashan, sixty towns;

31 Wotsɔ Gilead ƒe afã, Astarot kple Edrei (du siwo le Ɔg, Basan fia ƒe fiaɖuƒe me), na Makir, Manase ƒe viwo ƒe to la ƒe afã. Esiawoe nye anyigba siwo wotsɔ na Manase ƒe vi Makir ƒe to la ƒe afã le woƒe ƒome nu.

And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir by their families.

32 Aleae Mose ma anyigba si le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe, afi si ameawo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖo ɣe ma ɣi le Yeriko gbɔ.

These are the heritages of which Moses made distribution in the lowlands of Moab, on the other side of Jordan in Jericho, to the east.

33 Mose mena anyigba aɖeke Levitɔwo o, elabena abe ale si wòɖe eme na woe ene la, Yehowa Mawu lae nye woƒe domenyinu, Yehowa koe nye nu si wohiã. Yehowa ŋutɔ akpɔ wo ta abe ale si dze ene.

But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no heritage: the Lord, the God of Israel, is their heritage, as he said to them.
