Jozue 13
1 Tango Jozue akomaki mobange mpe mibu ya bomoi na ye epusanaki makasi, Yawe alobaki na ye: « Okomi mpe mobange makasi, mibu ya bomoi na yo esili kopusana mingi. Kasi mokili oyo bosengeli kobotola ezali nanu monene.
Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:

And on the south side are the Hevites, all the land of Chanaan, and Maara of the Sidonians as far as Apheca, and the borders of the Amorrhite,
5 etuka ya bato ya Gebali; mpe ngambo nyonso ya este ya Libani, wuta na Bala-Gadi, na ebandeli ya ngomba Erimoni kino na Lebo-Amati.
And his confines. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.
6 Mpo na bavandi nyonso ya etuka ya bangomba, wuta na Libani kino na Misirefoti-Mayimi, bato nyonso ya Sidoni, nakobengana bango Ngai moko liboso ya Isalaele. Sala keba ete opesa mokili yango lokola libula epai ya Isalaele, ndenge kaka natindaki yo;
Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee.
7 mpe kabola yango lokola libula kati na mabota libwa mpe ndambo ya libota ya Manase. »
And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,

And all the cities of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.
