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 all the congregation of the sons of Israel is assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the Tent of Meeting to dwell there, and the land has been subdued before them.
2 no nĩ gwatigarire mĩhĩrĩga mũgwanja ya Isiraeli ĩrĩa ĩtegwatĩire igai rĩayo.
And there are seven tribes left among the sons of Israel who have not shared 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 says to the sons of Israel, “Until when are you remiss to go in to possess the land which He, YHWH, God of your fathers, has given to 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.
Give three men from you for [each] tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come to 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 have divided it into seven portions—Judah stays by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph stays by 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 you describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] to me here, and I have cast a lot for you here before our God YHWH;
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 there is no portion for the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of YHWH [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses, servant of YHWH, gave to 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 rise and go; and Joshua commands those who are going to describe the land, saying, “Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and return to me, and here I cast a lot for you before YHWH 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 go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a scroll, and they come to Joshua, to 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 casts a lot for them in Shiloh before YHWH, and there Joshua apportions the land to the sons 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 a lot goes up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goes out between the sons of Judah and the sons 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 the border is for them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border has gone up to the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been 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 has gone over there to Luz, to the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border has gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;
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 has been marked out, and has gone around to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been to Kirjath-Ba‘al (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this [is] the west quarter.
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 quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border has gone out westward, and has gone 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 has come down to the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which [is] in the Valley of the Rephaim northward, and has gone down the Valley of Hinnom to the side of Jebusi southward, and gone 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 has been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out to Geliloth, which [is] opposite the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
18 Mũhaka wathiĩte na mbere nginya kĩharũrũka-inĩ gĩa gathigathini kĩa Bethi-Araba na ũgaikũrũka nginya Araba.
and passed over to the side in front of the Arabah northward, and gone down to 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 has passed over to the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been to the north bay of the Salt Sea, to the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] 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 borders it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders all around, for their families.
21 Mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini, kũringana na ũrĩa mbarĩ ciao ciatariĩ, warĩ na matũũra maya: Jeriko, na Bethi-Hogila, na Emeki-Keziza,
