Joshua 13

1 Nʼoge a, Joshua aghọọla agadi nwoke, Onyenwe anyị kpọrọ ya sị ya, “Ugbu a, ị ghọọla agadi, ụbọchị ọgwụgwụ ndụ gị abịala nso, ma ọtụtụ ala fọdụrụ ndị a ga-emeri.

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

2 “Ndị a bụ ala nke fọdụrụ unu ga-enweta: “ala ndị Filistia niile na ala ndị Geshua niile,

“This is the land that still remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

3 site nʼosimiri Shaịho dị nʼọnụ Ijipt ruo nʼoke ala Ekrọn, nʼakụkụ ugwu ya, nke a gụnyere ndị Kenan, na ndịisi ise ndị Filistia: ndị Gaza, ndị Ashdọd, ndị Ashkelọn, ndị Gat, na ndị Ekrọn; nakwa ala ndị Ava,

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 site na ndịda ala ahụ niile dị nʼugwu; nʼala ndị Kenan, na Meara, nke bụ ala ndị Saịdọn, ruo nʼAfek, na oke ala ndị Amọrait;

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 ala ndị Gebal niile; na Lebanọn niile ruo nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, site Baal-Gad nʼokpuru ugwu Hemon ruo na mbata Hamat.

and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, towards the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;

6 “Ndị niile bi nʼala ugwu site na Lebanọn ruo Mizrefot Maim, ya bụ, ndị Saịdọn niile, Mụ onwe m ga-achụpụ ha site nʼihu ụmụ Izrel. Ihe dịrị gị bụ ike ala ahụ ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa nye ndị Izrel, dịka mụ onwe m nyere gị iwu.

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 Ya mere, kere ebo itoolu, na ọkara Manase, ala ndị a niile, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.”

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

8 Ọkara ebo Manase, na ebo Ruben, na Gad, enwetala ihe nketa ha nʼofe ọzọ nke Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, dịka Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ha.

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

9 Ala ha gbatịrị site nʼAroea nke dị na ndagwurugwu Anọn, na site nʼobodo dị nʼetiti ndagwurugwu ahụ, ruo nʼala dị larịị nke gbatịrị site na Medeba ruo Dibọn.

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 Ọ gbatịkwara ruo nʼoke ala ndị Amọn, tinyere obodo niile nke Saịhọn, eze ndị Amọrait na-achị mgbe o bi na Heshbọn.

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

11 Ọ gụnyekwara Gilead, nʼoke ala ndị Geshua, na ndị Maaka, na ugwu Hemon niile, na Bashan niile, ruokwa Saleka.

and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;

12 Ya bụ, obodo niile nke Ọg eze ndị Bashan na-achị, mgbe isi alaeze ya dị nʼAshtarọt na Edrei. (Ọ bụ eze ikpeazụ nʼagbụrụ ndị Refaim.) Mosis busoro Saịhọn na Ọg agha, tigbuo ha, napụkwa ha ala ha.

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 Ma ndị Izrel achụpụghị ndị Geshua na ndị Maaka, ya mere, ha nọgidere na-ebi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel ruo taa.

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 O nweghị ala o kenyere ebo Livayị. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị kwere ha nkwa na ihe nketa ha ga-abụ ihe aja onyinye niile e si nʼọkụ na-ewetara Onyenwe anyị Chineke Izrel.

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

15 Nke a bụ ala Mosis nyere ebo Ruben dịka agbụrụ ha si dị, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.

Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.

16 Ala ha gbatịrị site nʼAroea, na ndagwurugwu iyi Anọn, sitekwa nʼobodo dị nʼetiti ndagwurugwu ahụ na ala dị larịị gabiga gafee 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;

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 Tinyere ndị ha gburu nʼọgbọ agha, ụmụ Izrel ji mma agha gbuo Belam nwa Beoa, onye na-agba aja.

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

23 Ya mere, oke ala ebo Ruben dị nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri Jọdan. Obodo ukwu na obodo nta ndị a bụ ihe ha nwetara dịka ihe nketa ha. Ezinaụlọ ọbụla nwetakwara oke nke ha dịka ikwu ha si dị.

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 Mosis nyekwara ebo Gad ala nke ha site nʼala ahụ ha lụgburu, dịka ikwu ha si dị.

Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families.

25 Ndị a bụ ala ebo Gad nwetara: ala ahụ niile dị na Jeza, na obodo Gilead niile, na ọkara ala ndị Amọn nke ruru Areoa, nʼakụkụ 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 ala sitere Heshbọn ruo Ramat Mizpa, na Betonim, na sitekwa Mahanaim ruo oke ala Debịa.

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

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 Obodo ndị a na obodo nta ndị ọzọ bụ ihe nketa ụmụ Gad dịka agbụrụ ha si dị.

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

29 Mosis nyekwara ikwu ọbụla dị nʼọkara ebo Manase ala nke ha, dịka mkpa ha si dị.

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 Ala ha ketara gbatịrị ruo Mahanaim. Ọ bụ ha nwekwa ala Bashan niile, na ala niile Ọg, eze Bashan, na-achị, tinyere iri obodo nta isii dị na Bashan, nke Jaịa wuru. Ha nwetakwara

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 ọkara Gilead, na Ashtarọt, na Edrei bụ isi obodo alaeze Ọg nʼime Bashan. Ala ndị a niile ka e nyere ọkara ebo Manase, ya bụ ikwu niile e nwere site nʼụmụ Makia, ọkpara Manase.

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 Ndị a bụ otu Mosis si keere ụmụ Izrel ala dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan, mgbe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼobosara ala Moab, na ncherita ihu obodo Jeriko.

These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.

33 Ma Mosis enyeghị ebo Livayị ala ọbụla, nʼihi na ọ gwara ha na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel bụ ihe nketa ha nwere, dịka o kwere ha na nkwa.

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