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.
When Joshua was very old, Yahweh said to him, “Joshua, you are now an old man, but there is still a lot of land [for your army] to capture.
2 “Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũtigarĩte: nĩ ngʼongo ciothe cia Afilisti na cia Ageshuru:
Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
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);
the area where the Canaan people-group live, from the Shihor River [in the south] at the [eastern] border of Egypt, to Ekron [city] in the north; the rulers of the five [cities] of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; the area where the Avva people-group live,
4 kuuma gũthini, bũrũri wothe wa andũ a Kaanani, kuuma Ara kwa Asidoni gũthiĩ nginya Afeku, rũgongo rwa Aamori,
which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
5 na bũrũri wa a Gebali; na Lebanoni guothe nginya mwena wa irathĩro, kuuma Baali-Gadi mũhuro wa kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni nginya Lebo-Hamathu.
the area where the Gebal people-group live; and all the Lebanon area east of Baal-Gad [city] at the bottom of Hermon Mountain, as far as 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,
All the people of the Sidon people-group live in the hilly area from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, but I will force them to leave that area before you Israelis arrive there. Be sure to give that area to the Israeli people when you divide the land among them, like I told you to do.
7 na ũũgae ũtuĩke igai harĩ mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo kenda, hamwe na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase.”
Divide all that land among the nine Israeli tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh, [the tribes that do not have land on the east side of the Jordan River].”
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.
Half of the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already been told what land they would receive, because Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had already assigned to them the land on the east side of the Jordan [River].
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,
Their land extended from Aroer [town] at the Arnon River gorge to the town in the middle of the gorge. It included the whole plain from Medeba [town south] to Dibon [town].
10 na matũũra mothe ma Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa wathamakaga Heshiboni, nginya o mũhaka wa Aamoni.
All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
11 Ningĩ ũgakinya Gileadi, bũrũri wa andũ a Geshuru na Maaka, o na kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni guothe, na Bashani guothe, o nginya Saleka,
The Gilead area was also there, and the regions where the people of the Geshur and Maacah people-groups lived, and all of Hermon Mountain and all the Bashan region [south] to 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.
All the land ruled by Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], was in that land. Og was one of the last descendants of Repha; previously he had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities], but [the armies of] Moses had defeated their armies and had taken their land from them.
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 Israelis did not force the people of the Geshur and Maacah [people-groups] to leave their land, so they still live among the Israeli people.
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.
The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, just like Yahweh promised, they continued to receive [food from] the sacrifices that were given to Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worship], the sacrifices that were burned [on the sacred altar].
15 Nake Musa akĩgaĩra mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:
Moses had allotted land to each clan in the tribe of Reuben.
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 land extended from Aroer [town] near the Arnon River gorge to Medeba [town]. That included all of the plain [that is near Medeba] and the town in the middle of the gorge.
17 nginya Heshiboni na matũũra marĩo marĩa maarĩ werũ-inĩ ũcio mũtũũgĩru, na nĩmo Diboni, na Bamothu Baali, na Bethi-Baali-Meoni, na
It also included Heshbon [city] and all the nearby towns on the plain—Dibon, Bamioth-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 the hill overlooking the valley,
20 na Bethi-Peoru, na iharũrũka cia Pisiga, na Bethi-Jeshimothu,
Beth-Peor, the hills in the Pisgah area, and 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.
That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But [the army of] Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.
22 Hamwe na arĩa mooragĩirwo mbaara-inĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmooragĩte Balamu mũrũ wa Beori ũrĩa warĩ mũragũri na rũhiũ rwa njora.
The Israeli army killed many people during those battles, including Balaam, [the prophet] from Beor, who tried to use magic to predict/tell what would happen in the future.
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 [western] boundary of the land that was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Reuben was the Jordan [River].
24 Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa Musa aaheete mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:
Moses also allotted some land to each clan in the tribe of Gad.
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 land included the Jazer [area] and all the towns of the Gilead [area]; half of the land where the Ammon people-group lived, as far as Aroer [town which is] near Rabbah [town];
26 na kuuma Heshiboni nginya Ramathu-Mizipe na Betonimu, na kuuma Mahanaimu o nginya bũrũri wa Debiri;
the area from Heshbon [city] to Ramath-Mizpah and Betonim [towns; the area] from Mahanaim [town] 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).
Beth-Haram, Beth-Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon [cities] in the valley; and the other area that King Sihon had ruled on the east side of the Jordan River. That area extended [north] to the southern end of Galilee Lake.
28 Matũũra macio hamwe na tũtũũra twamo nĩmo maatuĩkire igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
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:
Moses also had allotted some of the land [on the east side of the Jordan River] to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
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 land extended [north] from Mahanaim [city]. It included all the Bashan region, all the land that King Og had ruled, and all the towns in the Jair area in Bashan. Altogether that area included 60 towns.
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.
Their area also included half of the Gilead region, and the cities of Ashtaroth and Edrei where King Og had ruled. All that area was allotted to the clans descended from Manasseh’s son Makir.
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.
Moses had allotted to those tribes the land that was on the plain of the Moab [region], on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.
33 No rĩrĩ, mũhĩrĩga wa Lawi ndwaheirwo igai nĩ Musa; Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩwe igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.
But Moses did not allot any land to the tribe of Levi because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, promised that he himself would always provide for them.
