Jozue 18
1 Sima na bana ya Isalaele kozwa bokonzi likolo ya mokili, lisanga na bango mobimba esanganaki na Silo mpe batelemisaki kuna Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani.
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2 Kasi kati na bana ya Isalaele, ezalaki na mabota sambo oyo ezwaki nanu te libula na yango ya mabele.
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3 Jozue alobaki na bana ya Isalaele: « Kino tango nini bokozela mpo na kokende kozwa mokili oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, apesaki bino?
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are all of you slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?
4 Bopona bato misato kati na libota moko na moko. Nakotinda bango mpo ete bakende kotambola kati na mokili mpe kotia bandelo na yango kolanda libula ya libota na libota; bongo na sima nde bakoki kozonga epai na ngai.
Give 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 Bakokabola mokili yango na biteni sambo; bakitani ya Yuda bakotikala na eteni na bango ya mabele ya ngambo ya sude, mpe bakitani ya Jozefi bakotikala na eteni na bango ya mabele ya ngambo ya nor.
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6 Sima na bino kosala mabongisi ya kokabola mokili na biteni sambo, bomemela ngai yango awa, mpe ngai nakobeta zeke mpo na bino liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
All of you shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7 Kasi bakitani ya Levi bakotikala kozwa eteni moko te ya mabele elongo na bino, pamba te mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe nde ekozala libula na bango. Bato ya libota ya Gadi, ya Ribeni mpe ya ndambo ya libota ya Manase, bazwaki eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize, mosali na Yawe, apesaki bango na ngambo ya este ya Yordani. »
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 Tango bato batelemaki mpo na kokende kosala mabongisi ya kokabola mokili, Jozue apesaki mitindo oyo: « Bokende kotambola kati na mokili, bokata bandelo na yango, mpe na sima, bozongela ngai awa na Silo, mpe ngai nakobeta zeke mpo na bino liboso ya Yawe. »
And the men arose, and went away: 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 Boye, bato oyo bakendeki, batambolaki kati na mokili, bakataki bandelo na yango mpe batiaki yango na mokanda, engumba na engumba, mpe bakabolaki mokili mobimba na biteni sambo; bongo na sima, bazongaki na Silo, na molako epai ya Jozue.
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10 Jozue abetaki zeke mpo na bango liboso ya Yawe, na Silo, mpe kuna akabolaki mokili kati na bana ya Isalaele kolanda mabota na bango.
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 Zeke ekweyaki epai ya libota ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango. Eteni ya mabele oyo epesamelaki bango na zeke ezalaki na kati-kati ya mabele ya bakitani ya Yuda mpe ya Jozefi.
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 Na ngambo ya nor, mondelo na bango ezalaki longwa na Yordani, emataki na mopanzi ya Jeriko, ekatisaki mokili ya bangomba, na ngambo ya weste, mpe esukaki na esobe, na Beti-Aveni.
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 activities out thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
13 Mondelo yango elekelaki wana mpe ekendeki kino na Luze, na mopanzi na yango ya ngambo ya sude, oyo ezali Beteli; ekendeki kotutana na Ataroti-Adari, na ngomba oyo ezalaki na ngambo ya sude ya Beti-Oroni, mokili ya se.
And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lies on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.
14 Longwa na ngomba moke oyo etalana na Beti-Oroni na ngambo ya sude, mondelo yango ebalukaki na ngambo ya weste, mpe esukaki na Kiriati-Bala, oyo ekoma Kiriati-Yearimi, engumba ya bakitani ya Yuda. Yango nde ezalaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya weste.
And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lies before Bethhoron southward; and the activities out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
15 Na ngambo ya sude, mondelo yango ebandaki longwa na Kiriati-Yearimi, na ngambo ya weste, mpe ekendeki kobima na etima ya mayi ya Nefitoa.
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 Ekitaki kino na ebandeli ya ngomba moke oyo etalana na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, na ngambo ya nor ya etando ya bato ya Refayimi. Ekitaki na Lubwaku ya Inomi, na mopanzi ya ngambo ya sude ya engumba ya bato ya Yebusi kino na Eyini-Rogeli.
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies 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 Ebalukaki na ngambo ya nor, elekelaki na Eyini-Shemeshi, elekaki na Geliloti oyo etalana na nzela emata kino na Adumimi; sima ekitaki kino na Libanga ya Boani, mwana mobali ya Ribeni.
And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite to the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18 Elekaki na mopanzi ya ngambo ya nor, liboso ya Beti-Araba, mpe ekitaki kino na etando ya Araba.
And passed along toward the side opposite to Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
19 Mondelo yango elekelaki na mopanzi ya Beti-Ogila, na ngambo ya nor, mpe esukaki na eteni ya mabele oyo ekota na mayi ya ebale monene ya Barozo, na ngambo ya nor, na suka ya ngambo ya sude ya Yordani. Yango nde ezalaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya sude.
And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the utmost limit of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
20 Ebale ya Yordani ekomaki mondelo na yango na ngambo ya este. Yango nde ezalaki bandelo ya libula ya mabota ya bakitani ya Benjame na bangambo nyonso.
And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21 Tala bingumba ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango: Jeriko, Beti-Ogila, Emeki-Ketsitsi,
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 Beti-Araba, Tsemarayimi, Beteli,
And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23 Avimi, Para, Ofira,

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.
