Joshua 18
1 Tukun elos eisla acn inge, mwet Israel nufon tukeni in acn Shiloh, ac tulokunak Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD in acn we.
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 Tusruktu itkosr sin sruf lun Israel soenna itukyang acn selos.
there were still seven tribes of Israel who had not yet received their inheritance.
3 Ouinge Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Kowos ac soano nwe ngac in som eis acn ma LEUM GOD lun papa tomowos El sot lowos inge?
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 Supwama mwet tolu ke kais sie sruf, ac nga ac fah supwalosla elos in som liye acn inge nufon, ac sruloala luman acn su elos lungse tuh in ma lalos, na elos fah foloko nu yuruk.
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 Acn inge ac fah kitakatelik nu ke ip itkosr. Judah el ac fah eis layen nu eir tuh in ma lal, ac Joseph el ac fah eis layen nu epang.
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 Sruloala luman ipin acn itkosr inge ac use nu yuruk, ac nga ac fah aol kowos in susfa kac ye mutun LEUM GOD lasr.
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 Tusruktu, ac fah wangin ip lun mwet Levi inmasrlowos, mweyen orekma mutal lun LEUM GOD ac fah mwe usru lalos. A sruf lun Gad, Reuben, ac Manasseh Kutulap elos eis tari acn lalos layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan. Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sang lalos.”
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 Meet liki mwet ah som in sruloala luman acn ingo, Joshua el fahk nu selos, “Kowos som nu in acn ingan nufon, sruloala, na kowos foloko nu yuruk. Na inge, in acn Shiloh, nga ac fah aol kowos in susfa ke acn ingan ye mutun LEUM GOD.”
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 Ouinge mwet ah som nu fin acn inge nufon ac sruloala ac kitalik nu ke ip itkosr wi inen kais sie siti we. Na elos folokla nu yorol Joshua ke nien aktuktuk Shiloh.
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 Na Joshua el kitalik acn uh nu sin sruf lula lun mwet Israel ke susfa ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh.
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 Acn lun sou in sruf lal Benjamin pa itukyang emeet. Acn lalos ah oan inmasrlon acn lal Judah ac Joseph.
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 Masrol lalos layen nu epang mutawauk Infacl Jordan utyak ke acn oatu se epang in acn Jericho ac fahla roto lac nu fineol uh, ac utyak na nwe sun yen mwesis in Bethaven.
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.

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 Masrol layen nu eir ah mutawauk sisken acn Kiriath Jearim ac fahla sun unon in kof Nephtoah,
On the south side the border began at the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim and extended westward to the spring at the Waters of Nephtoah.

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 Insac lac el kuhfwak nu epang, fahsryak nu in acn Enshemesh, som na nwe Geliloth su oan ngetang nu ke Innek In Utyak Nu Adummim, sifilpa oatula nu ke Eot lal Bohan (su wen natul Reuben),

Then it went on to the northern slope of Beth-arabah and went down into the valley.

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.
