Yoshuwa 18
1 Isra’ilawa duka suka taru a Shilo suka kafa tenti inda za su dinga taruwa. Yanzu ƙasar tana ƙarƙashin mulkinsu,
Then the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. And though the land was subdued before them,
2 amma akwai sauran kabilu bakwai na Isra’ila waɗanda ba su samu rabon gādonsu ba tukuna.
there were still seven tribes of Israel who had not yet received their inheritance.
3 Saboda haka Yoshuwa ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Har yaushe za ku yi jinkirin shiga, ku mallaki ƙasar da Ubangiji Allah na iyayenku ya ba ku?
So Joshua said to the Israelites, “How long will you put off entering and possessing the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4 Ku ba da mutum uku daga kowace kabila, ni kuwa in aike su, su zagaya dukan ƙasar su rubuta bayani game da ita, bisa ga yadda za a raba ta gādo ga kowace kabila, sa’an nan su dawo wurina.
Appoint three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to survey the land and map it out, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me
5 Za ku raba ƙasar kashi bakwai. Mutanen Yahuda za su ci gaba da kasancewa a wurin da suke a kudu, sai kuma mutanen Yusuf a wurin da suke a arewa.
and divide the land into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their territory in the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory in the north.
6 Bayan kun auna ƙasar, ku raba ta kashi bakwai, sai ku kawo mini taswirar ƙasar. Ni kuma in yi muku ƙuri’a a gaban Ubangiji Allahnmu.
When you have mapped out the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots for you here in the presence of the LORD our God.
7 Lawiyawa ba su da rabo a cikinku, domin aikin firistocin da suke yi wa Ubangiji shi ne gādonsu. Gad, Ruben da rabin kabilar Manasse kuwa sun riga sun samu gādonsu a gabashin gefen Urdun, Musa bawan Ubangiji ya ba su.”
The Levites, however, have no portion among you, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the LORD. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received the inheritance that Moses the servant of the LORD gave them beyond the Jordan to the east.”
8 Da mutanen za su kama hanya su je su zāna yadda ƙasar take, Yoshuwa ya umarce su cewa, “Ku je ku ga yadda ƙasar take. Sa’an nan ku dawo wurina, zan yi muku ƙuri’a a nan Shilo a gaban Ubangiji.”
As the men got up to go out, Joshua commanded them to map out the land, saying, “Go and survey the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will cast lots for you here in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD.”
9 Mutanen kuwa suka tafi suka bi ta cikin ƙasar, suka bayyana yadda take a rubuce, gari-gari, kashi bakwai, suka koma wurin Yoshuwa a Shilo.
So the men departed and went throughout the land, mapping it city by city into seven portions. Then they returned with the document to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.
10 Sai Yoshuwa ya yi musu ƙuri’a a gaban Ubangiji, a nan ne ya raba wa Isra’ilawa ƙasar bisa ga yadda aka raba su kabila-kabila.
And Joshua cast lots for them in the presence of the LORD at Shiloh, where he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their divisions.
11 Ƙuri’ar kabilar Benyamin bisa ga iyalansu. Rabonsu ya kama daga ƙasar da take tsakanin kabilar Yahuda da ta Yusuf.
The first lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Benjamin. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:
12 Daga gefen arewa, iyakarsu ta kama ne daga Urdun, ta wuce arewa a gangaren Yeriko, ta nufi yamma cikin ƙasar kan tudu, ta fito a jejin Bet-Awen.
On the north side their border began at the Jordan, went up past the northern slope of Jericho, headed west through the hill country, and came out at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 Daga can ta ƙetare zuwa gangaren Luz a kudu (wato, Betel), ta wuce zuwa Atarot Adda a tudun arewa na kwarin Bet-Horon.
From there the border crossed over to the southern slope of Luz (that is, Bethel) and went down to Ataroth-addar on the hill south of Lower Beth-horon.
14 Daga tudun da yake fuskantar Bet-Horon a kudu, iyakar ta juya kudu ta gefen yamma ta ɓullo a Kiriyat Ba’al (wato, Kiriyat Yeyarim), birnin Yahuda. Wannan ita ce iyakar a wajen yamma.
On the west side the border curved southward from the hill facing Beth-horon on the south and came out at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the western side.
15 A gefen kudu kuwa, iyakar ta fara daga ƙauyukan Kiriyat Yeyarim wajen yamma sai ta miƙe zuwa maɓuɓɓugar ruwan Neftowa.
On the south side the border began at the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim and extended westward to the spring at the Waters of Nephtoah.
16 Iyakar ta gangara zuwa gefen dutsen da yake fuskantar Kwarin Ben Hinnom, wanda yake arewa da Kwarin Refayim. Ta ci gaba ta gangara ta Kwarin Hinnom ta yi kudu kusa da birnin Yebusiyawa har zuwa En Rogel.
Then it went down to the foot of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim and ran down the Valley of Hinnom toward the southern slope of the Jebusites and downward to En-rogel.
17 Sai ta nausa ta yi wajen arewa, zuwa En Shemesh, ta ci gaba zuwa Gelilot, wanda yake fuskantar hawan Adummim. Daga can ta gangara zuwa Dutsen Bohan, ɗan Ruben.
From there it curved northward and proceeded to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth facing the Ascent of Adummim, and continued down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
18 Sai ta wuce ta yi arewancin gangaren Bet-Araba, ta wuce har zuwa cikin Araba.
Then it went on to the northern slope of Beth-arabah and went down into the valley.
19 Sa’an nan ta wuce zuwa arewancin gangaren Bet-Hogla ta kuma ɓulla a arewancin gaɓar Tekun Gishiri, a bakin Urdun a kudu. Wannan ita ce iyakar a wajen kudu.
The border continued to the northern slope of Beth-hoglah and came out at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan. This was the southern border.
20 Urdun shi ne iyaka a wajen gabas. Waɗannan su ne iyakokin yankin ƙasar da iyalan kabilar Benyamin suka gāda.
On the east side the border was the Jordan. These were the borders around the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
21 Waɗannan su ne garuruwan da kabilar Benyamin suke da su na gādo. Yeriko, Bet-Hogla, Emek Keziz,
These were the cities of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
