Yoswa 13
1 Awo Yoswa bwe yali ng’akaddiye ng’amaze emyaka mingi. Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Okaddiye omaze emyaka mingi naye, wakyaliwo ensi nnyingi nnyo ez’okuwangula.
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:
2 “Zino z’ensi ezikyaliwo: “ensi yonna ey’Abafirisuuti n’Abaseguli
To wit, all Galilee, Philistia, and all Gessuri.
3 okuva ku mugga Sikoli oguli ebuvanjuba wa Misiri, n’okwambukira ddala ku nsalo y’e Ekuloni emanyiddwa nga ey’Abakanani, eriyo abafuzi bataano ab’Abafirisuuti, ow’e Gaza, n’ow’e Asudodi, n’ow’e Asukulooni, n’ow’e Gaasi n’ow’e Ekuloni awamu n’Abavi.
From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the borders of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites.
4 Okuva mu bukiikaddyo ensi yonna ey’Abakanani, ne Meyala ekya Basidoni, okutuuka ku Afiki, ku nsalo ey’Abamoli,
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 n’ensi y’Abagebali, ne Lebanooni yonna, ne ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, n’okuva ku Baalugadi wansi w’olusozi Kerumooni okutuuka w’oyingirira e Kamasi.
And his confines. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.
6 “N’abantu bonna ab’omu nsozi za Lebanooni okutuuka ku Misurefosumayima, be Basidoni bonna; nze kennyini ndibagoba mbaggye mu maaso g’abaana ba Isirayiri. Kakasa nti ensi eno ogigabira abaana ba Isirayiri nga bwe nakulagira.
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 Noolwekyo ojja kugigabanya ng’omugabo eri ebika omwenda era n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase.”
And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,
8 Ekitundu ekirala ekya Manase, n’Abalewubeeni n’Abagaadi ne baweebwa omugabo gwabwe, Musa bwe yabawa emitala wa Yoludaani ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba nga Musa omuweereza wa Mukama bwe yabagabira.
With whom Ruben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses the servant of the Lord delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the east side.
9 Okuva ku Aloweri ekiri ku mabbali g’ekiwonvu ekya Alunoni, n’ekibuga ekiri wakati mu kiwonvu, n’olusenyi lwonna olwa Medeba okutuuka ku Diboni;
From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, and in the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, as far as Dibon:
10 n’ebibuga byonna ebya Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, eyafuga mu Kesuboni, okutuuka ku nsalo y’abaana ba Amoni.
And all the cities of Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.
11 Era kyatwaliramu Gireyaadi, n’ekitundu ky’Abagesuli, n’Abamaakasi, n’olusozi lwonna Kerumooni ne Basani yonna okutuukira ddala ku Saleka.
And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha,
12 Obwakabaka bwonna obwa Ogi mu Basani, eyali afuga mu Asutaloosi ne mu Ederei, ye yali asigaddewo yekka ku Balefa, bwawangulwa Musa n’atwala ensi yaabwe.
All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and destroyed them.
13 Naye abaana ba Isirayiri tebaawangula Bagesuli wadde Abamaakasi, bwe kityo Abagesuli n’Abamaakasi ne babeera wakati mu bo ne leero.
And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati: and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this present day.
14 Ekika kya Leevi kyokka Musa ky’ataawa mugabo, ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’omuliro eri Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, gwe mugabo gwe nga bwe yamugamba.
But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of the Lord God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.
15 Musa yagabira ekika ky’abaana ba Lewubeeni ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali:
And Moses gave a possession to the children of Ruben according to their kindreds.
16 Ensalo yaabwe ng’eva ku Aloweri, ekiri ku mabbali g’ekiwonvu eky’Alunoni, n’ekibuga ekiri wakati mu kiwonvu, n’olusenyi lwonna oluliraanye Medeba,
And their border was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba,
17 ne Kesuboni, n’ebibuga byakyo byonna ebiri mu lusenyi, ne Diboni ne Bamosi Baali, ne Besubaalumyoni;
And Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the plains. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmaon,
18 ne Yakazi, ne Kedemosi, ne Mefaasi;
And Jassa, and Cidimoth, and Mephaath,
19 ne Kiriyasayimu, ne Sibuma, ne Zeresusakali ku lusozi olw’Ekiwonvu,
And Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the valley.
20 ne Besupyoli ne Pisuga awayambukirwa ku lusozi, ne Besu Yesimosi,
Bethphogor and Asedoth, Phasga and Bethiesimoth,
21 n’ebibuga byonna eby’omu lusenyi, n’obwakabaka bwonna obwa Sikoni kabaka w’Abamoli, eyafugira mu Kesuboni, Musa gwe yawangula awamu n’abaami abaali bafuga ab’e Midiyaani, eri ne Lekemu, ne Zuuli, ne Kuli ne Leba, n’abalangira ba Sikoni abaabeeranga mu nsi.
And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moses slew with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon inhabitants of the land.
22 Era ne mu abo be batta n’ekitala, abaana ba Isirayiri battiramu n’omulaguzi Balamu omwana wa Byoli.
Balaam also the son of Beer the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword among the rest that were slain.
23 Era n’ensalo y’abaana ba Lewubeeni yali omugga Yoludaani. Ebibuga n’ebyalo byamu Musa yabiwa abaana ba Lewubeeni okuba omugabo gwabwe.
And the river Jordan was the herder of the children of Ruben. This is the possession of the Rubenites, by their kindreds, of cities and villages.
24 Musa yagabira ekika kya Gaadi omugabo ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali:
And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and to his children by their kindreds a possession, of which this is the division.
25 Ettaka lyabwe lyali Yazeri, n’ebibuga byonna ebya Gireyaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ensi y’abaana ba Amoni, okutuuka ku Aloweri okumpi ne Labba,
The border of Jaser, and all the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children of Ammon: as far as Aroer which is over against Rabba:
26 n’okuva e Kesuboni okutuuka ku Lamasumizupe, ne Betonimu, era n’okuva ku Makanayimu okutuuka mu nsi y’e Debiri,
And from Hesebon unto Ramoth, Masphe and Betonim: and from Manaim unto the borders of Dabir.
27 ne mu kiwonvu, Besukalamu, ne Besu Nimira, ne Sukkosi, ne Zafoni, n’ekitundu ekyasigalawo ekyobwakabaka bwa Sikoni kabaka ow’e Kesuboni, Yoludaani n’ensalo yaagwo, okutuuka ku lubalama lw’ennyanja ey’e Kinneresi emitala wa Yoludaani ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba.
And in the valley Betharan and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the kingdom of Sehon king of Hesebon: the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the uttermost part of the sea of Cenereth beyond the Jordan on the east side.
28 Eyo y’ensi eyafuuka omugabo gw’abaana ba Gaadi ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali, ebibuga n’ebyalo byamu.
This is the possession of the children of Gad by their families, their cities, and villages.
29 Musa n’awa ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase omugabo gwabwe, abaana ba Manase ne bagabirwa omugabo ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and his children possession according to their kindreds,
30 N’ensalo yaabwe ng’eya Makanayimu, n’eyita mu Basani n’obwakabaka bwonna obwa Ogi kabaka w’e Basani, n’ebibuga ebya Yayiri, ebiri mu Basani ebibuga nkaaga;
The beginning whereof is this: from Manaim all Basan, and all the kingdoms of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns.
31 n’ekitundu ekimu ekya Gireyaadi ne Asutaloosi, ne Ederei, ebibuga eby’obwakabaka bwa Ogi mu Basani byali b’abaana ba Makiri omwana wa Manase, ekitundu eky’abaana ba Makiri ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
And half Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to one? half of the children of Machir according to their kindreds.
32 Ogwo gwe mugabo Musa gwe yagaba mu nsenyi eza Mowaabu, emitala wa Yoludaani ebuvanjuba bwa Yeriko.
This possession Moses divided in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho on the east side.
33 Naye ekika kya Leevi Musa teyakiwa mugabo. Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, ye mugabo gwabwe gwe yabawa, nga Mukama bwe yabasuubiza.
But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them.
