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.

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 Tala mokili oyo etikali: Bituka nyonso ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya bato ya Geshuri:

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

3 etuka oyo batangaka na molongo ya mikili ya Kanana; wuta na ebale ya Shiyori, oyo etalana na Ejipito kino na ngambo ya nor, na etuka ya Ekroni. Kuna, ezalaki na bakambi mitano ya bato ya Filisitia: mokambi ya Gaza, ya Asidodi, ya Ashikeloni, ya Gati mpe ya Ekroni; etuka ya bato ya Avi;

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 mpe wuta na ngambo ya sude, mokili mobimba ya bato ya Kanana mpe Meara oyo ezalaki mokili ya bato ya Sidoni kino na Afeki, kino na bandelo ya bato ya Amori;

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

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;

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 mpe kabola yango lokola libula kati na mabota libwa mpe ndambo ya libota ya Manase. »

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

8 Bato ya ndambo mosusu ya libota ya Manase, elongo na bato ya libota ya Ribeni mpe ya Gadi bazwaki libula oyo Moyize, mowumbu na Yawe, apesaki bango na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.

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 Ezalaki wuta na Aroeri, pene ya moluka ya Arinoni, wuta na engumba oyo ezali na kati-kati ya lubwaku, bakisa ngomba mobimba Medeba kino na Diboni,

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 mpe bingumba nyonso ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo azalaki kokonza na Eshiboni kino na bandelo ya bato ya Amoni.

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

11 Galadi mpe ezalaki na kati, elongo na etuka ya bato ya Geshuri mpe ya Maakati, ngomba Erimoni nyonso mpe Bashani mobimba kino na Salika.

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

12 Bashani mobimba, mokili ya Ogi, lokola moko kati na bato ya suka ya Refayimi oyo azalaki kokonza na Ashitaroti mpe na Edreyi, ezalaki mpe kati na libula na bango. Moyize alongaki bango mpe abotolaki bango mokili na bango.

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 Kasi bana ya Isalaele babenganaki te bato ya Geshuri mpe ya Maakati; yango wana bakobaki kovanda elongo na bana ya Isalaele kino na mokolo ya lelo.

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 Nzokande, Moyize apesaki libula te epai ya libota ya Levi, pamba te libula na bango ezali makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, ndenge Yawe alakaki bango.

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 Tala eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize apesaki na libota ya Ribeni, kolanda bituka na bango:

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

16 Mabele oyo ezwamaki wuta na Aroeri, pene ya moluka ya Arinoni, wuta na engumba oyo ezali na kati-kati ya lubwaku, bakisa ngomba Medeba mobimba,

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;

21 bingumba nyonso ya ngomba mpe mokili mobimba ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori oyo azalaki kokonza na Eshiboni. Moyize alongaki ye elongo na bakambi ya Madiani: Evi, Rekemi, Tsuri, Wuri mpe Reba, oyo bazalaki kosalela Sikoni mpe kovanda na mokili na ye.

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 Kati na bato oyo babomaki na bitumba, bana ya Isalaele babomaki mpe na mopanga Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, moto oyo asololaka na milimo ya bakufi.

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

23 Mondelo ya bato ya libota ya Ribeni ezalaki nde Yordani. Bingumba oyo mpe bamboka na yango ya mike-mike nde ezalaki libula oyo bapesaki na bato ya libota ya Ribeni, kolanda bituka na bango.

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 Tala eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize apesaki na libota ya Gadi, kolanda bituka na bango:

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

25 Etuka ya Yaezeri, bingumba nyonso ya Galadi, mpe ndambo ya mokili ya bato ya Amoni kino na Aroeri oyo etalana na 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 mpe wuta na Eshiboni kino na Ramati-Mitsipe mpe Betonimi, wuta na Maanayimi kino na mondelo ya Debiri;

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

27 mpe na lubwaku, na Beti-Arami, na Beti-Nimira, na Sukoti, na Tsafoni, mpe na mokili ya Sikoni, mokonzi na Eshiboni, oyo etikalaki elongo na Yordani mpe bazingazinga na yango kino na suka ya Ebale monene ya Kinereti, na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.

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 Bingumba oyo mpe bamboka na yango ya mike-mike nde ezalaki libula oyo bapesaki na bato ya libota ya Gadi, kolanda bituka na bango.

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

29 Tala eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize apesaki na ndambo ya libota ya Manase, kolanda bituka na bango:

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 Mabele oyo ezwamaki wuta na Maanayimi, bakisa mokili mobimba ya Bashani, mokili ya Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani, mpe bamboka mike-mike nyonso ya Yairi oyo ezalaka na Bashani, bingumba tuku motoba,

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 ndambo ya mokili ya Galadi; Ashitaroti mpe Edreyi, bingumba ya bokonzi ya Ogi kati na Bashani; ezalaki mpo na bakitani ya Makiri, mwana mobali, ya Manase mpo na ndambo ya bakitani ya Makiri, kolanda bituka na bango.

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 Yango nde libula oyo Moyize apesaki tango azalaki na etando ya Moabi, na ngambo ya Yordani, na ngambo ya este ya Jeriko.

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

33 Kasi Moyize apesaki libula te epai ya libota ya Levi, pamba te Ye moko Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, nde azali libula na bango, ndenge alakaki bango.

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