Yoswa 18
1 Ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakuŋŋaanira mu Siiro ne basimba eyo Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu. Ensi yali mu mikono gyabwe,
And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there, and the land was subdued before them.
2 wabula waali wakyaliwo ebika musanvu ebya Isirayiri ebyali tebinnafuna mugabo gwabyo.
And seven tribes remained among the sons of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
3 Yoswa n’agamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Mulituusa ddi okulinda nga temunnafuna mugabo Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe gwe yabawa?
And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4 Mulonde abantu basatu mu buli kika mbatume bayite mu nsi bagyetegereze, ng’emigabo gyabwe bwe giri era bawandiike ng’emigabo gyabwe bwe giri bakomewo bantegeeze.
Appoint for you three men of each tribe. And I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and they shall come to me.
5 Baligigabanyaamu ebitundu musanvu Yuda esigale mu bitundu byayo mu bukiikaddyo n’ennyumba ya Yusufu mu bitundu byayo mu bukiikakkono.
And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.
6 Nga mumaze okugabanya ensi mu bitundu musanvu mundeetere bye muwandiise mbakubire obululu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda waffe.
And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring it here to me. And I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God.
7 Abaleevi tebalina mugabo mu mmwe kubanga obwakabona bwa Mukama gwe mugabo gwabwe, ne Gaadi, ne Lewubeeni n’ekitundu eky’ekika kya Manase bo baamala okuweebwa omugabo gwabwe emitala wa Yoludaani ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba, Musa omuweereza wa Mukama gwe yabawa.”
For the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance, and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.
8 Abantu ne bagenda okulaba ensi bw’efaanana, Yoswa n’alagira be baali batumye nti, “Mugende mutambuletambule mu nsi mugyetegereze bw’efaanana, mukomewo mbakubire obululu wano mu maaso ga Mukama e Siiro.”
And the men arose, and went. And Joshua charged those who went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me. And I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.
9 Awo ne bagenda ne bayita mu nsi, ne bawandiika ebitundu musanvu ebifa ku bibuga mu kitabo, ne bakomawo ewa Yoswa mu lusiisira e Siiro.
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book. And they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
10 Awo Yoswa n’abakubira obululu mu Siiro mu maaso ga Mukama n’agabanyiza abaana ba Isirayiri ensi ng’ebitundu byabwe bwe byali.
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah. And there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.
11 Awo akalulu k’ekika kya Benyamini, okusinziira ku nnyumba mwe bazaalibwa, ne katuuka era omugabo gwe baafuna ne guba mu makkati g’abaana ba Yuda n’abaana ba Yusufu.
And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the border of their lot went out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12 Ku luuyi olw’obukiikakkono ensalo yaabwe ne tandikira ku Yoludaani ne yeeyongera ku njegoyego z’obukiikakkono bwa Yeriko n’eyambuka mu nsi ey’ensozi ebugwanjuba n’ekomekkereza mu ddungu ly’e Besaveni.
And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward. And the goings out of it were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 Ensalo n’esala okuva mu bukiikaddyo n’etuuka e Luzi ye Beseri ne yeeyongera mu bukiikaddyo e Atalosuaddali kumpi n’olusozi oluli wammanga mu bukiikaddyo obwa Besukolooni.
And the border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Bethel), southward, and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth-horon the nether.
14 Ensalo ne yeeyongerayo okuva ku lusozi olutunuulidde Besukolooni n’eraga ku bukiikaddyo n’edda ebuvanjuba n’etuuka e Kiriasubaali, ye Kiriyasuyalimu, kye kibuga ky’abaana ba Yuda. Olwo lwe luuyi olw’ebugwanjuba.
And the border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth-horon southward. And the goings out of it were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west quarter.
15 Oluuyi olw’obukiikaddyo lwatandikira ku njegoyego za Kiriyasuyalimu gye kikoma n’edda ebuvanjuba, ensalo ne yeeyongerayo ku nsulo ez’amazzi aga Nefutoa.
And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah,
16 Ate era ensalo n’ekkirira olusozi we lukoma, olutunudde mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu ekiri mu bukiikakkono lw’ekiwonvu kya Lefa, n’ekkirira mu kiwonvu kya Kinomu ekiri mu bukiikaddyo bw’ekibuga Yebusi, n’ekka ku Enerogeri.
and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward, and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel,
17 N’eryoka yeebungulula ng’eva mu bukiikakkono n’etuuka ku Ensomesi ne yeeyongerayo e Gerirosi ekitunuulidde ekkubo eryambuka okugenda Adummiru n’eyita n’etuuka ku jjinja lya Bokani mutabani wa Lewubeeni,
and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18 ne yeeyongerayo mu bukiikakkono ku luuyi lwa Besi Alaba okutuuka ku Alaba,
and it passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah,
19 ne yeeyongerayo mu bukiikakkono obwa Besukogula bw’etyo ensalo n’ekoma ku bukiikakkono bw’Ennyanja ey’Omunnyo mu bukiikaddyo bw’omugga Yoludaani. Eyo y’ensalo ey’oku bukiikaddyo.
and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward. And the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.
20 Yoludaani ye yali ensalo ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba. Guno gwe gwali omugabo gw’ekika kya Benyamini ng’enju bwe zaali, ng’ensalo bwe zaali era ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the borders of it round about, according to their families.
21 Kale nno ebibuga by’ekika ky’abaana ba Benyamini ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali byali: Yeriko ne Besukogula ne Emekkezizi,
Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz,
22 ne Besualaba ne Zemalayimu ne Beseri,
and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23 ne Avvimu ne Pala ne Ofula,
and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 ne Kefalamoni ne Ofuni ne Geba ebibuga kkumi na bibiri n’ebyalo byabyo.

and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.
