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, advanced in days, —so then Yahweh said unto him—Thou, art old, advanced in days, and, much the larger part of the land, remaineth to be possessed.

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

This, is the land that remaineth, —all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshuri;

3 si tso Sixor tɔsisi la gbɔ le Egipte ƒe liƒo dzi heyi anyiehe ke, elabena wobu anyigba si va tɔ Ekron ƒe liƒo la abe Kanaantɔwo ƒe anyigba ene. Filistitɔwo ƒe fiawo nɔ Gaza, Asdod, Askelon, Gat kple Ekron; hekpe ɖe Avitɔwo ŋu

from the Shihor which faceth Egypt, even as far as the boundary of Ekron, northward, to the Canaanites, is it counted, —five princes of Philistines, the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, also 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 belongeth to the Zidonians, as far as Aphek, —as far as the boundary 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 the Lebanon, to the rising of the sun, from Baal-gad, under Mount Hermon, —as far as the entering in of 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 inhabitants of the hill country, from the Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim—all the Zidonians, I myself, will dispossess them from before the sons of Israel, —nevertheless, assign thou it by lot unto Israel, for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

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

Now, therefore, apportion this land as an inheritance, unto 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 them, the, Reubenites and the Gadites, received their inheritance, —which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan, eastward, as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto 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, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon, and the city, which is in the midst of the ravine, and all the table-land of Medeba, as far as 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 cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, —as far as the boundary of the sons 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 boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan, as far as Salecah;

12 kple Ɔg, Basan fia, ame si ɖu fia le Astarot kple Edrei la ƒe anyigba. Eyae nye Refaimtɔ mamlɛtɔ, elabena Mose ho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu, eye wònya wo ɖa le anyigba la dzi.

all the kingdom of Og, in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, —he, being left of the remnant of the giants; and Moses smote them and dispossessed them;

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

the sons of Israel, however, did not dispossess, the Geshurites or the Maacathites, —but Geshur and Maacath have remained in the midst of Israel until 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.

Howbeit, unto the tribe of Levi, gave he no inheritance, —the altar-flames of Yahweh God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spake unto him.

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

Thus then Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families;

16 Ruben ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba tso Aroer le Arnon tɔsisi la ƒe balime ƒe toga, dze le Arnon du si le balime la ƒe titina la ŋu va dze le Medeba ƒe togbɛwo ŋu.

and their boundary was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city which is in the midst of the ravine 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,

Heshbon and all her cities which are on the table-land, —Dibon and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon;

18 Yaza, Kedemot, Mefaat,

and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Maphaath;

19 Kiriataim, Sibma, Zeret Sabar si le to aɖe dzi le balime la tame,

and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar on the mount of the vale;

20 Bet Peor, Bet Yesimot kple Pisga to la kɔgo.

and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;

21 Du siwo nɔ togbɛwo dzi kple Fia Sixɔn ƒe fiaɖuƒe me la hã nɔ Ruben ƒe viwo ƒe anyigba dzi. Sixɔn nye Amoritɔwo ƒe fia si nɔ Hesbon. Mose wu Fia Sixɔn kple Midian fia bubu siawo: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur kple Reba.

and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, —whom Moses smote—with the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, dukes of Sihon dwelling in the land;

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

Balaam also son of Beor, the diviner, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword among their slain.

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

And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

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 [an inheritance] unto the tribe of Gad, unto the sons 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 boundary was—Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, —as far as Aroer, which faceth Rabbah;

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

and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh, and Botonim, —and from Mahanaim as far as the boundary 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, the Jordan and district, —as far as the end of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan eastward.

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

This, is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, by their families, —the cities and the villages thereof.

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

And Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the half tribe of Manasseh, —so it belonged to the half tribe of the sons 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 boundary was—from Mahanaim all Bashan all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan and all the Encampments of Jair which are in Bashan three-score cities;

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, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, pertained to the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, to half the sons 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 portions] which Moses gave for inheritance, in the waste plains of Moab, —over the Jordan by Jericho eastward.

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, unto the tribe of Levi, Moses gave no inheritance, —Yahweh God of Israel, he, was their inheritance, as he spake unto them.
