Joshua 12

1 Na rĩrĩ, aya nĩo athamaki a bũrũri arĩa maahootirwo nĩ andũ a Isiraeli na makĩĩnyiitĩra bũrũri wao wa mwena wa irathĩro mũrĩmo ũcio ũngĩ wa Jorodani, kuuma mũkuru wa Rũũĩ rwa Arinoni nginya kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni, o hamwe na mwena wothe wa irathĩro wa Araba:

The Israelis took control of the land that was east of the Jordan River, from the Arnon River gorge [in the south] to Hermon Mountain [in the north], including all the land on the eastern side of the Jordan [River] Valley. That land previously belonged to the two kings whose armies the Israelis defeated.

2 Athamaki acio nĩ Sihoni wa Aamori, ũrĩa wathamakaga Heshiboni. Aathanaga kuuma itũũra rĩa Aroeri rĩrĩa rĩrĩ rũteere-inĩ rwa mũkuru wa Arinoni, o na kuuma itũũra rĩrĩa rĩarĩ gatagatĩ ka mũkuru ũcio o na nuthu ya Gileadi nginya Rũũĩ rwa Jaboku, rũrĩa rũrĩ mũhaka-inĩ wa Aamoni.

One of them was Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group. He lived in Heshbon [city] and ruled over the area from Aroer [town] along the Arnon River Gorge, north to the Jabbok River. His land started in the middle of the gorge, which was the border between his land and the land of the Ammon people-group. Sihon also ruled over [the southern] half of the Gilead region,

3 O na nĩathanaga mwena wa irathĩro wa Araba, kuuma Iria rĩa Kinerethu nginya iria rĩa Araba (nĩrĩo Iria rĩa Cumbĩ), nginya Bethi-Jeshimothu, na ningĩ gũthiĩ na mwena wa gũthini agakinya mũhuro wa kĩanda kĩa iharũrũka cia Pisiga.

and over the land on the eastern side of the Jordan [River] Valley, from Galilee Lake [south] to the Dead Sea. He also ruled over the land [east of the Dead Sea] from Beth-Jeshimoth south to the side of Pisgah Mountain.

4 Ningĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩtunyana bũrũri wa Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, ũmwe wa matigari ma andũ a Refaimu arĩa maatũũraga kũu Ashitarothu na Edirei.

The other king whom the Israeli army defeated was Og, the king of the Bashan [region]. He was the last of the descendants of [the giant] Rapha. He ruled that land, living alternately in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities].

5 Aathanaga Kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni, na Saleka, na Bashani guothe, o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa andũ a Geshuru, na wa Maaka, na nuthu ya Gileadi o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wao na Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni.

He ruled over the area from Hermon Mountain and Salecah [in the north], and over all the Bashan area in the east, and to the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah to the west. Og ruled [the northern] half of the Gilead region, as far as the border of the land ruled by King Sihon.

6 Musa ndungata ya Jehova hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli nĩmamatooririe. Nake Musa ndungata ya Jehova akĩheana bũrũri wao kũrĩ andũ a Rubeni, na a Gadi, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, gũtuĩke igai rĩao.

Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], and all the Israeli army defeated the armies of those kings. Then Moses gave that land to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh.

7 Acio nĩo athamaki a bũrũri ũrĩa Joshua na andũ a Isiraeli maatooririe kũu mwena wa ithũĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, kuuma Baali-Gadi, Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Lebanoni, nginya Kĩrĩma kĩa Halaku, kĩrĩa kĩrorete na mwena wa Seiru (mabũrũri mao nĩmaheanĩtwo nĩ Joshua kũrĩ mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli matuĩke magai mao kũringana na ũrĩa mĩhĩrĩga yao yagayanĩtio,

Joshua and the Israeli army also defeated kings who ruled over the land on the west side of the Jordan [River]. He gave that land to the Israeli people, dividing it among the other tribes. That land was between Baal-Gad [city] in the Lebanon Valley [in the far north all the way south] to Halak Mountain, which is near the land of the Edom people-group.

8 bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, na ituamba cia mwena wa ithũĩro, na Araba, na kũrĩa kũrĩ ciikũrũko cia irĩma, na kũu werũ-inĩ, o na Negevu, nĩ mo mabũrũri ma Ahiti, na Aamori, na Akaanani, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi):

That land included the mountains, the western hilly area, the Jordan [River] Valley, the [western] slopes of the mountains, the desert [in Judea], and the Negev [desert in the south]. That whole area was the land where the Heth, Amor, Canaan, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups lived. The Israeli army defeated the armies of the kings of each of these cities:
