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.

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 Tusruktu itkosr sin sruf lun Israel soenna itukyang acn selos.

And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which 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?

And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long [are] ye slack to go to possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers hath 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.

Select 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 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 they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their borders on 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.

Ye shall therefore describe the land [in] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before 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.”

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 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.”

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 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.

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 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 Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel 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.

And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of 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.

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 limits of it were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

13 Na masrol an fahla nu ke acn oatui se eir in acn Luz (su pangpang pac Bethel), na fahla nu Ataroth Addar su oan fineol eir in Beth Horon Ten.

And the south quarter [was] from the end of Kirjah-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:

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 En-rogel,

And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth towards Geliloth, which [is] over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,

And passed along towards the side over against Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah:

And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the limits of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan. This [was] the south border.

20 Infacl Jordan pa masrol nu kutulap. Pa inge masrol ma akilenya acn su itukyang nu sin sou in sruf lal Benjamin tuh in ma lalos.

And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the limits of it round about, according to their families.
