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 all the company of the sons of Israel are assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the tent of meeting to tabernacle there, and the land hath been subdued before them.
2 wabula waali wakyaliwo ebika musanvu ebya Isirayiri ebyali tebinnafuna mugabo gwabyo.
And there are left among the sons of Israel who have not shared 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 saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Till when are ye remiss to go in to possess the land which He hath given to you, Jehovah, God of your fathers?
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.
Give for you three men for a 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 in unto me,
5 Baligigabanyaamu ebitundu musanvu Yuda esigale mu bitundu byayo mu bukiikaddyo n’ennyumba ya Yusufu mu bitundu byayo mu bukiikakkono.
and they have divided it into seven portions — Judah doth stay by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph do stay by 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 describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] in unto me hither, and I have cast for you a lot 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 there is no portion to the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of Jehovah [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses servant of Jehovah 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 rise and go; and Joshua commandeth those who are going to describe the land, saying, 'Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and turn back unto me, and here I cast for you a lot 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 go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a book, and they come in unto Joshua, unto 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 casteth for them a lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, and there Joshua apportioneth 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 a lot goeth up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goeth 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 the border is to them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border hath gone up unto 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 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 hath gone over thence to Luz, unto the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border hath gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;
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 hath been marked out, and hath gone round to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been unto Kirjath-Baal (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this [is] 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 [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border hath gone out westward, and gone out unto 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 hath come down unto 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 hath gone down the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward, and gone 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 hath been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out unto Geliloth, which [is] over-against the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
18 ne yeeyongerayo mu bukiikakkono ku luuyi lwa Besi Alaba okutuuka ku Alaba,
and passed over unto the side over-against Arabah northward, and gone down to 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 hath passed over unto the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been unto the north bay of the salt sea, unto the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] 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 doth border it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders round about, for their families.
21 Kale nno ebibuga by’ekika ky’abaana ba Benyamini ng’enju zaabwe bwe zaali byali: Yeriko ne Besukogula ne Emekkezizi,
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,
22 ne Besualaba ne Zemalayimu ne Beseri,
and Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, and Beth-El,
23 ne Avvimu ne Pala ne Ofula,
and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 ne Kefalamoni ne Ofuni ne Geba ebibuga kkumi na bibiri n’ebyalo byabyo.
and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and their villages.
25 Gibyoni ne Laama ne Beerosi,

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 Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi (it [is] Jerusalem), Gibeath, Kirjath: fourteen cities and their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, for their families.
