Joshua 18
1 Nakĩo kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli gĩkĩũngana kũu Shilo na gĩkĩamba Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo kuo, tondũ nĩmarĩkĩtie gũtooria bũrũri ũcio ũgakorwo ũrĩ rungu rwao,
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.
2 no nĩ gwatigarire mĩhĩrĩga mũgwanja ya Isiraeli ĩrĩa ĩtegwatĩire igai rĩayo.
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩũria andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Nĩ nginya rĩ mũgweterera mũtegũthiĩ kwĩgwatĩra bũrũri ũrĩa Jehova Ngai wa maithe manyu aamũheire?
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel: 'How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, hath given you?
4 Thuurai andũ atatũ kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga, na niĩ nĩngũmatũma magatuĩrie ũrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũtariĩ na maandĩke ũhoro waguo, wa ũrĩa ũngĩgaĩrwo o mũhĩrĩga. Thuutha ũcio macooke moke kũrĩ niĩ.
Appoint for you three men for each tribe; and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me.
5 Na inyuĩ nĩmũkagayania bũrũri ũcio icunjĩ mũgwanja. Mũhĩrĩga wa Juda ũgaikara o kũu bũrũri waguo mwena wa gũthini, nayo nyũmba ya Jusufu ĩikare bũrũri wayo mwena wa gathigathini.
And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.
6 Mwarĩkia kwandĩka ũrĩa ngʼongo icio mũgwanja ingĩgayanio-rĩ, mũndehere ũhoro o haha, na niĩ ndĩmũcuukĩre mĩtĩ ndĩ mbere ya Jehova Ngai witũ.
And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7 No rĩrĩ, Alawii matikagaya igai gatagatĩ kanyu, nĩgũkorwo igai rĩao nĩ gũtungatĩra Jehova na wĩra wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai. Nao andũ a Gadi, na a Rubeni, na nuthu ya mũhĩrĩga wa Manase nĩmarĩkĩtie kwĩgwatĩra igai rĩao kũu mwena wa irathĩro wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, kũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aamaheire.”
For the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.'
8 Nao andũ acio makĩambĩrĩria kuumagara magatuĩrie bũrũri ũcio. Nake Joshua akĩmaatha, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũgatuĩrie ũrĩa bũrũri ũcio ũtariĩ na mwandĩke ũhoro waguo. Thuutha ũcio mũcooke kũrĩ niĩ, na niĩ ndĩmũcuukĩre mĩtĩ o gũkũ Shilo ndĩ mbere ya Jehova.”
And the men arose, and went; and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying: 'Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come back to me, and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.'
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio makiumagara magĩtuĩkania bũrũri ũcio, na makĩandĩka ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo ũrĩa bũrũri ũcio watariĩ, o itũũra, maũgaĩte icunjĩ mũgwanja, na magĩcooka kũrĩ Joshua kambĩ-inĩ, o kũu Shilo.
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book, and they came to Joshua unto the camp at Shiloh.
10 Nake Joshua akĩmacuukĩra mĩtĩ o kũu Shilo mbere ya Jehova, na hau nĩho aagaĩire andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũcio kũringana na ũrĩa mĩhĩrĩga yao yagayanĩtio.
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 Na rĩrĩ, Joshua aacuukĩra bũrũri ũcio mĩtĩ-rĩ, wa mbere wagwĩrĩire mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ. Bũrũri ũrĩa maagaĩirwo warĩ gatagatĩ ka mũhĩrĩga wa Juda na wa Jusufu:
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 Naguo mũhaka wa mwena wa gathigathini waambĩrĩirie Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani, ũkahĩtũkĩra kĩharũrũka-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gathigathini wa Jeriko, ũrorete mwena wa ithũĩro ũgakinya bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, ũkoimĩrĩra werũ wa Bethi-Aveni.
And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 Kuuma kũu ũgakĩrania ũrorete na mwena wa kĩharũrũka kĩa gũthini kĩa Luzu (na norĩo Betheli) na ũgaikũrũka nginya Atarothu-Adari gũkuhĩ na kĩrĩma kĩa mwena wa gũthini wa itũũra rĩa Bethi-Horoni ya Mũhuro.
And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz — the same is Beth-el — southward; and the border went down to Atroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether.
14 Kuuma kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩngʼetheire Bethi-Horoni mwena wa gũthini, mũhaka ũcio ũkarigiicũka na mwena wa na gũthini ũgereire na mwena wa ithũĩro, ũkiumĩrĩra Kiriathu-Baali (na norĩo Kiriathu-Jearimu), itũũra rĩmwe rĩa andũ a Juda. Ũguo nĩguo mũhaka ũcio watariĩ mwena wa ithũĩro.
And the border was drawn and turned about on the west side southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal — the same is Kiriath-jearim — a city of the children of Judah; this was the west side.
15 Naguo mwena wa gũthini mũhaka waambĩrĩirie gĩturi-inĩ kĩa Kiriathu-Jearimu, ũgathiĩ ũrorete mwena wa ithũĩro, ũkoimĩrĩra gĩthima-inĩ kĩa maaĩ ma Nefitoa.
And the south side was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 Ningĩ mũhaka ũcio waikũrũkĩte o nginya magũrũ-inĩ ma kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩangʼetheire Gĩtuamba kĩa Beni-Hinomu, gathigathini wa Gĩtuamba kĩa Refaimu. Naguo ũgĩikũrũka na kĩanda gĩa Gĩtuamba kĩa Hinomu, wĩgiritanĩtie na kĩharũrũka kĩa mwena wa gũthini wa itũũra inene rĩa Ajebusi, ũgĩikũrũka nginya Eni-Rogeli.
And the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the Valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.
17 Mũhaka ũcio wacookete ũkegonya na mwena wa gathigathini, ũgathiĩ nginya Eni-Shemeshu, na ũgathiĩ na mbere nginya Galilothu, itũũra rĩrĩa rĩngʼetheire Mwanya wa Adumimu, ũgaikũrũka nginya Ihiga-inĩ rĩa Bohani mũrũ wa Rubeni.
And it was drawn on the north, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18 Mũhaka wathiĩte na mbere nginya kĩharũrũka-inĩ gĩa gathigathini kĩa Bethi-Araba na ũgaikũrũka nginya Araba.
And it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah.
19 Ningĩ ũgacooka ũkarora kĩharũrũka kĩa mwena wa gathigathini kĩa Bethi-Hogila, na ũkoimĩrĩra gĩcongoco-inĩ kĩa mwena wa gathigathini kĩa Iria rĩa Cumbĩ, o kũu mũthia-inĩ wa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mwena wa gũthini. Ũcio nĩguo warĩ mũhaka wa mwena wa gũthini.
And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan; this was the south border.
20 Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani nĩruo rwarĩ mũhaka wa mwena wa irathĩro. Ĩyo nĩyo yarĩ mĩhaka ĩrĩa yathiũrũrũkĩte igai rĩa mbarĩ cia Benjamini mĩena ĩyo yothe.
And the Jordan was to be the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families.
21 Mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ, warĩ na matũũra maya: Jeriko, na Bethi-Hogila, na Emeki-Keziza,
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz;
22 na Bethi-Araba, na Zemaraimu, na Betheli,
and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el;
23 na Avimu, na Para, na Ofira,
and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah;
24 Kefari-Amoni, na Ofini, na Geba; mothe maarĩ matũũra ikũmi na meerĩ na tũtũũra twamo.
and Chephar-ammonah, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages:
25 O na ningĩ warĩ na Gibeoni, na Rama, na Beerothu,
Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth;
26 na Mizipe, na Kefira, na Moza,
and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah;
27 na Rekemu, na Iripeeli, na Tarala,
and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah;
28 na Zela, na Elefu, na Itũũra inene rĩa Ajebusi (na nĩrĩo, Jerusalemu), na Gibeathi, na Kiriathu; mothe maarĩ matũũra ikũmi na mana na tũtũũra twamo. Rĩu nĩrĩo rĩarĩ igai rĩa mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ.
and Zela, Eleph, and the Jebusite — the same is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
