Iosua 18
1 U A hoakoakoaia ke anaina kanaka o ka poe mamo a Iseraela ma Silo, a malaila lakou i kukulu ai i ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka; a ua pio ko ka aina, imua o lakou.
The land had been subdued and lay before them. The Israelites gathered together at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting.
2 Ehiku ohana i koe iho o na mamo a Iseraela, aole i loaa ia lakou ko lakou ainahooili.
However, seven of the Israelite tribes had not received their land allocations.
3 Olelo aku la o Iosua i na mamo a Iseraela, Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou molowa ana i ka hele e komo i ka aina a Iehova ke Akua o ko oukou poe kupuna i haawi mai ai ia oukou?
So Joshua asked the Israelites, “How long will you go on being reluctant to go and take possession of the land that the Lord gave your forefathers?
4 E haawi mai nowaena o oukou i mau kanaka pakolu o keia ohana kela ohana, na'u lakou e hoouna aku; a e ku lakou iluna, a e kaahele i ka aina, a e hoailona iho e like me ko lakou ainahooili; alaila e hoi mai lakou io'u nei.
Choose three men from each tribe and I will send them out to explore the land. Then they can write a description regarding the land allocations and bring it to me.
5 A e mahele lakou ia mea i ehiku mokuna; a e noho o Iuda ma ko lakou wahi ma ka hema; a o ka hale o Iosepa e noho lakou ma ko lakou wahi ma ka akau.
They are to divide the land into seven parts, up to the boundary of Judah's land in the south and Joseph's land in the north.
6 A e kakau oukou i ka aina i ehiku mokuna, a e lawe mai ia mea ia'u, i haawi aku au ia oukou maanei ma ka hailona imua o Iehova ko kakou Akua.
Once you have written the description the land, dividing it in seven parts, you will bring it to me here and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the Lord our God.
7 No ka mea, aohe aina no ka Levi iwaena o oukou; o ka oihanakahuna na Iehova, oia kona ainahooili: a o ka Gada, a me ka Reubena a me ka ohana hapa a Manase, ua loaa ia lakou ko lakou ainahooili, ma kela kapa o Ioredane ma ka hikina, ka mea a Mose ke kauwa a Iehova i haawi aku ai no lakou.
But the Levites do not receive a share, for their role as priests of the Lord is their allocation. Also, Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their allocation that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them on the east side of the Jordan.”
8 Alaila, ku iluna na kanaka a hele aku la: a kauoha aku la o Iosua i ka poe hele e kakau i ka aina, i aku la, E hele poai i ka aina, a e kakau iho, a e hoi mai ia'u, i haawi aku au ia oukou ma ka hailona imua o Iehova ma Silo nei.
As the men started out on their way to explore the land. Joshua told them, “Go throughout the land and write a description of what you find. Then return to me and I will cast lots for you in the presence of the Lord here in Shiloh.”
9 A hele ua mau kanaka la a poai i ka aina, a kakau lakou ia mea ma na kulanakauhale, i ehiku aina iloko o ka buke; a hoi mai lakou io Iosua la ma kahi i hoomoana'i ma Silo.
So the men went and explored the land and wrote down on a scroll a description of the seven parts, recording the towns in each part. Then they returned to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh
10 A hailona iho la o Iosua no lakou imua o Iehova ma Silo; a malaila mahele ae la o Iosua i ka aina no ka poe mamo a Iseraela mamuli o ko lakou mau papa.
where Joshua cast lots for them in the presence of the Lord. There Joshua divided the land up and allotted the different parts to the remaining Israelite tribes.
11 Ua hailonaia ka ohana a ka poe Beniamina mamuli o ko lakou mau hale; a ua moe ae la ka mokuna o ko lakou aina mawaena o ka poe mamo a Iuda, a mawaena o ka poe mamo a Iosepa.
The first lot cast went to the tribe of Benjamin, by families. The land allotted lay between that of the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Joseph.
12 A o ko lakou mokuna ma ka aoao akau, mai o Ioredane ae no ia; a ua pii ka mokuna i ka aoao o Ieriko ma ka akau, a ua pii ae la ma ka mauna ma ke komohana; a o kona welau, aia ma ka waonahele o Betavena.
Their boundary began at the Jordan, and went north of the slope of Jericho, west through the hill country, coming out at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 A moe ae la ka mokuna mailaila aku a hiki i Luza i ka aoao o Luza, ma ka hema o Betela no ia; a ua iho ka mokuna i Aterotadara ma ka puu e pili ana i ka aoao hema o Betehorona lalo.
Then the boundary went south to Luz (or Bethel) and on down to Ataroth-addar on the mountain south of Lower Beth-horon.
14 Ua kakauia ka mokuna mailaila aku a huli ia i ke kihi o ke kai ma ka hema, mai ka puu mai aia imua o Betehorona ma ka hema; a o kona welau aia ma Kiriatabaala, oia o Kiriatiarima, he kulanakauhale o ka Iuda. Oia ka aoao komohana.
Here the boundary turned south along the western side of the mountain facing Beth-horon, finishing at Kiriath-baal (or Kiriath-jearim), a town of the tribe of Judah. This was the western boundary.
15 O kona aoao hema aia no ia mai ke kihi o Kiriatiarima, a hala ae la kona mokuna i ke komohana, a moe ae la ia a hiki i ka punawai o Napetoa.
The southern boundary began at the edge of Kiriath-jearim. It ran to the spring at Nephtoah,
16 A iho ka mokuna i ke kihi o ka mauna, aia imua o ke awawa o ke keiki a Hinoma, aia ma ke awawa o ka poe Repaima ma ka akau, a iho la ia i ke awawa a Hinoma a hiki i ka aoao o Iebusi ma ka hema, a iho ia i Enerogela,
and then down to the foot of the mountain that faces the valley of Ben-hinnom, at the north end of the valley of Rephaim. Then it went down the valley of Hinnom, along the slope near the Jebusite town, south towards En-rogel.
17 Ua kakauia mai ka akau a hiki aku i Enesemeka, a moe ae la ia i Gelilota kahi kokoke i ka pii ana o Aduminia, a iho ia i ka pohaku o Bohana ke keiki a Reubena,
From there it headed north to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, opposite the heights of Adummim, and then on down to the Stone of Bohan (Reuben's son).
18 A hala ae la i ka aoao imua o Araba ma ka akau, a iho iho la i Araba.
Then it went along the ridge opposite the Jordan Valley to the north, and then down into the Jordan Valley itself.
19 A moe ae la ka mokuna i ka aoao o Betehogela ma ka akau, a o ka welau o kona mokuna aia ma ke kaikuono akau o ka moanakai ma ka nuku o Ioredane. Oia ka mokuna hema.
From there it ran along the north slope of Beth-hoglah, ending at the north bay of the Salt Sea, the southern end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.
20 O Ioredane oia kona mokuna ma ka hikina: oia ka ainahooili o ka poe mamo a Beniamina, ma na mokuna a puni mamuli o ko lakou poe ohua.
The eastern boundary was the Jordan. These were the boundaries around the land of the tribe of Benjamin, by families.
21 O na kulanakauhale o ka ohana a ka poe Beniamina mamuli o ko lakou mau hale, o Ieriko a me Betehogela, a me ke awawa o Keziza,
These were the towns of the tribe of Benjamin, according to families: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
