Joshua 13
1 Na rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa Joshua aarĩ mũndũ mũkũrũ na mĩaka yake ĩkaingĩha-rĩ, Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩ mũkũrũ mũno, na no gũtigarĩte bũrũri mũnene mũno wa kwĩgwatĩrwo ũtuĩke wanyu.
Many years had passed by, and Joshua had grown old. The Lord spoke to him, saying, “You're now an old man, but there's still a great deal of land still to be taken.
2 “Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũtigarĩte: nĩ ngʼongo ciothe cia Afilisti na cia Ageshuru:
This is the remaining land: the territory of all the Philistines and all the Geshurites,
3 kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Shihoru mwena wa irathĩro wa bũrũri wa Misiri, o nginya bũrũri wa Ekironi ũrĩa ũrĩ mwena wa gathigathini, ũrĩa wonagwo ũrĩ bũrũri wa Akaanani (nĩguo bũrũri wa aathani arĩa atano a Afilisti arĩa maathanaga kũu Gaza, na Ashidodi, na Ashikeloni, na Gathu, na Ekironi, nĩguo bũrũri wa Aavimu);
from the Shihur River on the border with Egypt north to the border of Ekron—all of which is counted as Canaanite but comes under the five Philistine lords of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. In addition there's the land of the Avvites
4 kuuma gũthini, bũrũri wothe wa andũ a Kaanani, kuuma Ara kwa Asidoni gũthiĩ nginya Afeku, rũgongo rwa Aamori,
in the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, all the way to Aphek on the border with the Amorites,
5 na bũrũri wa a Gebali; na Lebanoni guothe nginya mwena wa irathĩro, kuuma Baali-Gadi mũhuro wa kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni nginya Lebo-Hamathu.
as well as the land of the Gebalites and the Lebanon area from the town of Baalgad to the slopes of Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath,
6 “Andũ othe arĩa matũũraga bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma kuuma Lebanoni nginya Misirefothu-Maimu, na nĩo Asidoni othe, nĩ niĩ ngaamaingata mehere mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli. Nawe ũtigĩrĩre nĩwagaĩra Isiraeli bũrũri ũcio ũtuĩke igai rĩao o ta ũrĩa ngwathĩte,
and the those who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, including all the land of the Sidonians. I myself will drive them out ahead of the Israelites. Just allocate the land to Israel for them to own, as I have commanded you.
7 na ũũgae ũtuĩke igai harĩ mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo kenda, hamwe na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase.”
So divide this land among the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh for them to own.”
8 Nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ ya andũ a mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, na wa Rubeni na wa Gadi nĩmarĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra igai rĩrĩa Musa aamaheete kũu mwena wa irathĩro rĩa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, ta ũrĩa we Musa ndungata ya Jehova aamaheete.
The other half of the tribe of Manasseh, and the tribes of Reuben and Gad, had already received their land grant on the east side of the Jordan, as allotted to them by Moses, the servant of the Lord.
9 Naguo mũhaka ũcio woimĩte Aroeri rũteere-inĩ rwa mũkuru wa Arinoni, na kuuma itũũra rĩrĩa rĩarĩ gatagatĩ ka mũkuru ũcio, hamwe na werũ ũrĩa mũtũũgĩru kũu Medeba, nginya o Diboni,
It stretched from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon valley, from the town in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau of Medeba, up to Dibon;
10 na matũũra mothe ma Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa wathamakaga Heshiboni, nginya o mũhaka wa Aamoni.
and all the towns that belonged to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, up to the border with the Ammonites.
11 Ningĩ ũgakinya Gileadi, bũrũri wa andũ a Geshuru na Maaka, o na kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni guothe, na Bashani guothe, o nginya Saleka,
In addition it included Gilead, the land of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all of Bashan as far as Salecah,
12 ũguo nĩ kuuga ũthamaki wothe wa Ogu kũu Bashani, ũrĩa waathanaga Ashitarothu na Edirei, nake ũcio nĩwe warĩ wa mũico wa matigari ma Arefaimu. Musa nĩamatooretie na agataha bũrũri wao.
as well as all the land of the kingdom of Og of Bashan, who had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei. He was one of the last of the Rephaites. Moses had defeated them and driven them out.
13 No rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli matiigana kũingata andũ a Geshuru na Maaka; nĩ ũndũ ũcio matũũraga hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli nginya ũmũthĩ.
But the Israelites had not driven out the Geshurites or the Maacathites, who still live among them to this very day.
14 No ndaigana kũhe Alawii igai, kuona atĩ maruta mothe ma njino marĩa maarutagĩrwo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩmo maarĩ igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.
Moses did not allocate any land for the Levites to own. Instead they were allotted the offerings made by fire to the Lord, the God of Israel, as the Lord had promised them.
15 Nake Musa akĩgaĩra mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:
This was the land that Moses allotted to the tribe of Reuben, by families:
16 Bũrũri ũrĩa uumĩte Aroeri rũteere-inĩ rwa mũkuru wa Arinoni, na kuuma itũũra rĩrĩa rĩarĩ gatagatĩ ka mũkuru ũcio, na kũrĩa guothe gũtũũgĩru kũhĩtũka Medeba,
Their territory stretched from Aroer on the edge of the Arnon valley, from the town in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau of Medeba;
17 nginya Heshiboni na matũũra marĩo marĩa maarĩ werũ-inĩ ũcio mũtũũgĩru, na nĩmo Diboni, na Bamothu Baali, na Bethi-Baali-Meoni, na
Heshbon and all associated towns on the plateau—Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
18 Jahazu, na Kedemothu, na Mefaathu, na
Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19 Kiriathaimu, na Sibima, na Zerethu-Shaharu rĩrĩa rĩrĩ kĩrĩma igũrũ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kũu gĩtuamba kĩu,
Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar, on a hill in the valley,
20 na Bethi-Peoru, na iharũrũka cia Pisiga, na Bethi-Jeshimothu,
Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth-jeshimoth—
21 o na matũũra mothe marĩa maarĩ werũ-inĩ ũcio mũtũũgĩru o hamwe na ũthamaki wothe wa Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni. Musa nĩamũtooretie na agatooria anene a Midiani, na Evi, nao nĩ Rekemu, na Zuru, na Huri, na Reba, anene maanyiitanĩte na Sihoni arĩa maatũire bũrũri ũcio.
all the towns of the plateau and all the kingdom of Sihon, the Amorite king, who ruled in Heshbon. He was defeated by Moses, as well as the Midianite leaders Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, princes who lived in the kingdom and who were allied to Sihon.
22 Hamwe na arĩa mooragĩirwo mbaara-inĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmooragĩte Balamu mũrũ wa Beori ũrĩa warĩ mũragũri na rũhiũ rwa njora.
At the same time the Israelites killed Balaam, son of Beor, the fortune-teller, along with the others who were slaughtered.
23 Mũhaka wa mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni warĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Matũũra macio hamwe na tũtũũra twamo nĩmo maarĩ igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
The Jordan was the boundary for the tribe of Reuben. This was the land, the towns and the villages, allotted to the tribe of Reuben, by families.
24 Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa Musa aaheete mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:
This was the land that Moses allotted to the tribe of Gad, by families:
25 Nĩ bũrũri wa Jazeri, na matũũra mothe ma Gileadi, na nuthu ya bũrũri wa andũ a Amoni o nginya Aroeri, gũkuhĩ na Raba;
Their territory was Jazer, all the towns of Gilead, and half of the land of the Ammonites up to Aroer, near Rabbah;
26 na kuuma Heshiboni nginya Ramathu-Mizipe na Betonimu, na kuuma Mahanaimu o nginya bũrũri wa Debiri;
stretching from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the Debir region.
27 na kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ, na Bethi-Haramu, na Bethi-Nimira, na Sukothu, na Zafoni hamwe na kũu kũngĩ gwathanagwo nĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Heshiboni (mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, bũrũri ũrĩa ũkinyĩte mũthia-inĩ wa Iria rĩa Kinerethu).
In the Jordan valley lay Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, king of Heshbon. The boundary ran along the Jordan up to the bottom end of the sea of Kinnereth and then ran east.
28 Matũũra macio hamwe na tũtũũra twamo nĩmo maatuĩkire igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
This was the land, the towns and the villages, allotted to the tribe of Gad, by families.
29 Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa Musa aaheete nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase, ũguo nĩ kuuga nuthu ya nyũmba ya njiaro cia Manase, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:
This was the land that Moses allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is half of the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh, by families:
30 Nĩ bũrũri ũrĩa uumĩte o Mahanaimu, hamwe na Bashani guothe, kũrĩa guothe gwathanagwo nĩ Ogu mũthamaki wa Bashani, o na matũũra mothe ma Jairu kũu Bashani, namo mothe nĩ matũũra mĩrongo ĩtandatũ,
Their territory stretched from Manahaim through the whole of Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, and all the towns of Jair in Bashan—sixty in all.
31 nuthu ya Gileadi, na Ashitarothu na Edirei (matũũra ma mũthamaki ma Ogu marĩa maarĩ kũu Bashani). Kũu nĩkuo kwarĩ kwa njiaro cia Makiru mũrũ wa Manase, ũguo nĩ kuuga nuthu ya ariũ a Makiru, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
Also included was Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the towns of king Og in Bashan. This was the land allotted to the descendants of Machir, son of Manasseh, for half of them, by families.
32 Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo igai rĩrĩa Musa aaheanĩte hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aarĩ kũu werũ-inĩ wa Amoabi mũrĩmo wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, mwena wa irathĩro wa Jeriko.
These were the allocations that Moses made when he was in the plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan, east of Jericho.
33 No rĩrĩ, mũhĩrĩga wa Lawi ndwaheirwo igai nĩ Musa; Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩwe igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.
However, Moses did not allot any land to the Levites, for the Lord, the God of Israel, had promised them that he would be their allocation.
