Joshua 18
1 Ọgbakọ Izrel niile zukọtara na Shaịlo maa ụlọ nzute nʼebe ahụ. Nʼoge a, ala ahụ niile bịara nʼokpuru ọchịchị ndị Izrel,
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2 ma e nwekwara ebo Izrel asaa a na-ekenyebeghị ala nke ha dịka ihe nketa.
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3 Ya mere, Joshua jụrụ ụmụ Izrel ajụjụ sị ha, “Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-eche tupu unu ekpochapụ ndị niile bi nʼala a, inweta ala Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu nyere unu?
And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long will ye neglect to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
4 Họpụtanụ ndị ikom atọ site nʼebo ọbụla, ndị m ga-eziga ka ha gaa jegharịa nʼala niile ahụ, dee ya nʼakwụkwọ nkọwa otu ihe nketa ọbụla si dị, nʼakụkụ ya niile. Mgbe ahụ, ha ga-alọghachikwute m.
Pick out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
5 Ha ga-eke ala ahụ fọdụrụ ụzọ asaa. Ma ebo Juda ga-anọgide nʼala ha nʼakụkụ ndịda, ụmụ ụmụ Josef kwa ga-anọgide nʼala ha nʼakụkụ ugwu.
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their land on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their land on the north.
6 Unu depụtachaa ụzọ asaa ndị a nʼakwụkwọ, werenụ ya bịakwute m ka m feere unu nza nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị ịchọpụta ebo ga-eketa akụkụ ọbụla nʼala ahụ.
Ye shall therefore describe the land in seven parts, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7 Ma ndị Livayị agaghị eketa ala ọbụla nʼetiti unu, nʼihi na ihe nketa ha bụ ọrụ nchụaja ha na-arụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ebo Gad, na Ruben, na ọkara ebo Manase agaghị enwetakwa oke ọzọ, nʼihi na ha anarala ihe nketa nke ha nʼofe Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, ebe Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị kwere ha na nkwa na ha ga-ebi.”
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
8 Ya mere, mgbe ndị ikom nledo ahụ gawara ijegharị nʼala ahụ niile, Joshua gwara ha okwu sị, “Jeenụ jegharịa nʼala ahụ niile. Depụtakwanụ otu unu chere a ga-esi kee ya nʼakwụkwọ. Mgbe unu lọtara aga m anọ nʼebe a bụ Shaịlo jụta Onyenwe anyị ase site nʼife nza, chọpụta ala nke ebo ọbụla ga-eketa.”
And the men arose, and departed: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
9 Ndị ikom ahụ gabigara ala ahụ, depụta ya nʼakwụkwọ, nʼobodo nʼobodo dịka o si dị nʼoke asaa. Mgbe ha mesịrị nke a, ha lọghachikwutere Joshua nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu nʼime Shaịlo.
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10 Joshua feere ha nza na Shaịlo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ keere ndị Izrel ala ahụ dịka ebo ha si dị.
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 Ndị mbụ e kenyere ala site nʼife nza bụ ebo Benjamin dịka ikwu ha si dị. Ala niile e kenyere ebo Benjamin bụ nke dị nʼetiti ala e nyere ebo Juda na Josef.
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the land of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ugwu sitere nʼosimiri Jọdan ruo nʼakụkụ ugwu Jeriko. Nʼọdịda anyanwụ o sitere na Jeriko ruo ala ugwu ugwu ahụ niile, ruokwa nʼọzara Bet-Aven.
And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the ends of it were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
13 Oke ala ahụ sitekwara nʼakụkụ ndịda ruo nʼakụkụ Luz (ebe a na-akpọkwa Betel), ruokwa Atarọt-Ada, nke dị nʼakụkụ ndịda ugwu dị na mgbada Bet-Horon.
And the border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the lower Bethhoron.
14 Site nʼugwu ahụ chere Bet-Horon ihu nʼakụkụ ndịda, oke ala ahụ gbadara ndịda gbasoro akụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ pụta na Kiriat Baal, ya bụ, Kiriat Jearim, otu nʼime obodo ndị Juda. Nke a bụ oke ala ahụ nʼọdịda anyanwụ.
And the border extended from there, and went around the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the ends of it were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
15 Oke ala ha na ndịda sitere na nsọtụ akụkụ Kiriat Jearim rute nʼisi iyi mmiri Neftoa.
And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
16 O sitekwara nʼebe ahụ gbada ruo na ndịda ugwu ahụ nke chere ihu na Ndagwurugwu nke Ben Hinom, nʼakụkụ ugwu Ndagwurugwu nke Refaim. O sitekwara nʼebe ahụ gafee ruokwa nʼakụkụ ndịda ugwu obodo ndị Jebus, ruo En-Rogel.
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
17 Site nʼEn Rogel oke ala ahụ gbatịrị ruo En-Shemesh, gafee ruo Gelilọt, nke chere ihu na nrigo ugwu Adumim. O si nʼebe ahụ ruo na nkume Bohan, nwa Ruben.
And extended from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18 O sitere nʼebe ahụ gafee nʼakụkụ ugwu Bet-Araba gbadata rute nʼAraba,
And passed along toward the side opposite Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah:
19 ọ gafere gbatịrị ruo nʼakụkụ Bet-Hogla na mgbago ugwu, pụta nʼakụkụ ugwu nke osimiri Nnu, nke bụ nʼakụkụ ndịda ọnụ mmiri osimiri Jọdan. Nke a bụ oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ndịda.
And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the ends of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south border.
20 Oke ala ha nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ bụ osimiri Jọdan. Ndị a bụ ihe nketa ụmụ Benjamin, dịka oke ala ya niile si dị gburugburu, dị ka ikwu ya niile si dị nʼakụkụ niile.
And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its borders all around, according to their families.
21 Ndị a bụ obodo e kenyere ebo Benjamin, dịka ikwu ha si dị: Jeriko, Bet-Hogla, Emek Keziz,
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
22 Bet-Araba, Zemaraim, Betel,
And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
