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 all the congregation of the sons of Israel is assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the Tent of Meeting to dwell there, and the land has been 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 are seven tribes left among the sons of Israel who have not shared 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 says to the sons of Israel, “Until when are you remiss to go in to possess the land which He, YHWH, God of your fathers, has given to 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 three men from you for [each] tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come 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 have divided it into seven portions—Judah stays by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph stays by their border 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.
and you describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] to me here, and I have cast a lot for you here before our God YHWH;
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. »
for there is no portion for the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of YHWH [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses, servant of YHWH, gave to 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 rise and go; and Joshua commands those who are going to describe the land, saying, “Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and return to me, and here I cast a lot for you before YHWH 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 go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a scroll, and they come to Joshua, to the camp [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 casts a lot for them in Shiloh before YHWH, and there Joshua apportions the land to the sons 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 a lot goes up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goes out between the sons of Judah and the sons 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 the border is for them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border has gone up to the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;
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 has gone over there to Luz, to the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border has gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;
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 has been marked out, and has gone around to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been to Kirjath-Ba‘al (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this [is] 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 [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border has gone out westward, and has gone out to the fountain of the 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 has come down to the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which [is] in the Valley of the Rephaim northward, and has gone down the Valley of Hinnom to the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel,
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 has been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out to Geliloth, which [is] opposite the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
18 Elekaki na mopanzi ya ngambo ya nor, liboso ya Beti-Araba, mpe ekitaki kino na etando ya Araba.
and passed over to the side in front of the Arabah northward, and gone down to 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 has passed over to the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been to the north bay of the Salt Sea, to the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;
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 the Jordan borders it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders all around, for their families.
21 Tala bingumba ya bakitani ya Benjame kolanda bituka na bango: Jeriko, Beti-Ogila, Emeki-Ketsitsi,
And the cities for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families, have been Jericho, and Beth-Hoglah, and the Valley of Keziz,
