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 children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up there the tabernacle of the congregation. And the land was subdued before them.
2 wabula waali wakyaliwo ebika musanvu ebya Isirayiri ebyali tebinnafuna mugabo gwabyo.
And there remained among the children of Israel, that had not yet received their inheritance, seven tribes.
3 Yoswa n’agamba abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Mulituusa ddi okulinda nga temunnafuna mugabo Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe gwe yabawa?
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long will ye show yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land, which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given to 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.
Furnish for yourselves three men for each tribe; and I will send them out, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come again 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 parts: Judah shall remain on his boundary at the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain on their boundary at the north.
6 Nga mumaze okugabanya ensi mu bitundu musanvu mundeetere bye muwandiise mbakubire obululu mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda waffe.
But you shall make a description of the land in seven parts, and bring it hither to me; and I will cast the lot for you here, before the Lord 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 to the Levites there is no portion among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance; and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Menasseh have already received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, at the east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to 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 away; and Joshua charged those that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and return again to me; and here will I cast the lot for you before the Lord, 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 according to the cities in seven parts in a book; and they came again 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 the lot for them in Shiloh before the Lord; and Joshua divided there the land unto the children 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 children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the boundary of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children 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 boundary was on the north side [starting] from the Jordan; and the boundary went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; and its terminations 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 boundary went over from there toward Luz, to the south side of Luz, which is Beth-el; and the boundary descended to 'Atroth-addar, upon the mount that is on the south side of the lower Beth-choron.
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 [thence], and fetched a compass to the west side, to the south of the mount that is before Beth-choron at the south; and its terminations were at Kiryath-ba'al, which is Kiryath-ye'arim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west side.
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 side commenced from the end of Kiryath-ye'arim, and the boundary went out on the west, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoach:
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 boundary went down to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of Rephaim at the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusi on the south, and descended to 'Enrogel,
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 extended northwardly, and went forth to 'En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, and descended to Eben-bohan the son of Reuben,
18 ne yeeyongerayo mu bukiikakkono ku luuyi lwa Besi Alaba okutuuka ku Alaba,
And passed along on this side opposite to 'Arabah northward; and went down unto '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 boundary passed along to the side of Beth-choglah northward; and the terminations of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south boundary.
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 bounded it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its boundaries 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 these were the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families, Jericho, and Beth-choglah, and 'Emekkeziz,
22 ne Besualaba ne Zemalayimu ne Beseri,
And Beth-ha'arabah, and Zemarayim, and Beth-el,
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 Kephar-ha'ammonah, and 'Ophni, and Geba': twelve cities with their villages.
25 Gibyoni ne Laama ne Beerosi,
Gib'on, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 ne Mizupe ne Kefira ne Moza,
And Mizpeh, and Kephirah, and Mozah,
27 ne Lekemu ne Irupeeri ne Talala,
And Rekem, and Yirpeel, and Taralah,
28 ne Zeera, Erefu n’Omuyebusi, ye Yerusaalemi, ne Gibeasi ne Kiriasi ebibuga kkumi na bina n’ebyalo byabyo. Ogwo gwe gwali omugabo ogw’abaana ba Benyamini ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali.
And Zela', Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gib'ath, and Kiryath: fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
