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.

Now Joshua was old and well advanced in years. Yahweh said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.

2 “Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa ũtigarĩte: nĩ ngʼongo ciothe cia Afilisti na cia Ageshuru:

“This is the land that still remains: all the regions of 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 Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,

4 kuuma gũthini, bũrũri wothe wa andũ a Kaanani, kuuma Ara kwa Asidoni gũthiĩ nginya Afeku, rũgongo rwa Aamori,

on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of 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.

and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of 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 inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians. I will drive them out from before the children of Israel. Just allocate it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

7 na ũũgae ũtuĩke igai harĩ mĩhĩrĩga ĩyo kenda, hamwe na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase.”

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

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.

With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them:

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,

from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;

10 na matũũra mothe ma Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa wathamakaga Heshiboni, nginya o mũhaka wa Aamoni.

and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;

11 Ningĩ ũgakinya Gileadi, bũrũri wa andũ a Geshuru na Maaka, o na kĩrĩma kĩa Herimoni guothe, na Bashani guothe, o nginya Saleka,

and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan 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 kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (who was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses attacked these, and drove 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.

Nevertheless the children of Israel didn’t drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath live within Israel to this 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.

Only he gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.

15 Nake Musa akĩgaĩra mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:

Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their 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 border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by 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 its cities that are in the plain; 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 in the mount of 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 cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.

22 Hamwe na arĩa mooragĩirwo mbaara-inĩ, andũ a Isiraeli nĩmooragĩte Balamu mũrũ wa Beori ũrĩa warĩ mũragũri na rũhiũ rwa njora.

The children of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the soothsayer, with the sword, among the rest of their slain.

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 border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and its villages.

24 Ũyũ nĩguo bũrũri ũrĩa Musa aaheete mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ:

Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their 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 border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is near Rabbah;

26 na kuuma Heshiboni nginya Ramathu-Mizipe na Betonimu, na kuuma Mahanaimu o nginya bũrũri wa Debiri;

and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

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).

and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan’s bank, to the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.

28 Matũũra macio hamwe na tũtũũra twamo nĩmo maatuĩkire igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.

This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and its villages.

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 gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their 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 border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities.

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.

Half Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their 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 are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.

33 No rĩrĩ, mũhĩrĩga wa Lawi ndwaheirwo igai nĩ Musa; Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩwe igai rĩao, o ta ũrĩa aamerĩire.

But Moses gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. Yahweh, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
