Josoa 18

1 Dia nivory tao Silo ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka nanangana ny trano-lay fihaonana tao. Ary ny tany dia resy teo anoloany.

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 Ary nisy firenena fito tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tsy mbola nahazo ny lovany.

And there are left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance, seven tribes,

3 Dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Mandra-pahoviana no hiahotrahoranareo tsy hiditra handova ny tany, izay omen’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, anareo?

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 Mandoava telo lahy avy isam-pirenena, dia haniraka azy aho, ary hiainga izy ka handeha hitety ny tany ka hanoratra azy araka ny ho lovany, dia hiverina atỳ amiko.

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 Ary hizafa azy ho fito toko izy; ny Joda hitoetra any amin’ ny taniny ao atsimo, ary ny taranak’ i Josefa hitoetra any amin’ ny taniny ao avaratra.

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 Ary soratinareo ny tany ka ataovy fito toko; ary ento atỳ amiko ny soratra, dia hanao filokana ho anareo eto anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika aho.

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 Fa tsy mba manana anjara eo aminareo ny Levita; fa ny fisoronana amin’ i Jehovah no lovany; ary Gada sy Robena sy ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase efa nahazo ny lovany any an-dafy atsinanan’ i Jordana, izay nomen’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, azy.

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 Dia niainga ireo lehilahy ireo ka nandeha; ary Josoa nandidy izay nandeha hanoratra ny tany ka nanao hoe: Mandehana nitety ny tany, ka soraty izy, dia miverena atỳ amiko, ka eto Silo no hanaovako filokana ho anareo eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.

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 Dia lasa ireo lehilahy ireo ka nandeha nitety ny tany, dia nanoratra azy tamin’ ny taratasy, ka nataony fito toko, araka ny tanàna, ary dia tafaverina tany amin’ i Josoa tao an-toby tao Silo izy.

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 Ary Josoa dia nanao filokana ho azy tao Silo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; ary tao no nizaran’ i Josoa ny tany ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely araka ny fizarany.

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 Dia nahazo ny loka ny firenena taranak’ i Benjamina isam-pokony; ary ny faritry ny tany azony dia teo anelanelan’ ny taranak’ i Joda sy ny taranak’ i Josefa.

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 Ary ny fari-taniny amin’ ny lafiny avaratra dia hatrany Jordana ka niakatra hatramin’ ny ilan’ i Jeriko amin’ ny avaratra, dia niakatra niankandrefana nahazo ny tany havoana, ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny efitr’ i Betavena,

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 hatreo dia nandroso hatrany Lozy, hatramin’ ny ilany atsimon’ i Lozy (Betela izany), dia nidina hatrany Atarot-adara ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra atsimon’ i Beti-horona ambany,

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 dia niolaka tamin’ ny lafiny andrefana ka nianatsimo hatramin’ ny tendrombohitra izay eo anoloan’ i Beti-horona eo atsimo, ka dia nihatra any Kiriata-bala (Kiriata-jearima izany), tanànan’ ny taranak’ i Joda; izany no lafiny andrefana.

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 Ary ny lafiny atsimo dia hatramin’ ny faran’ i Kiriata-jearima; ary ny fari-tany dia nandroso niankandrefana ka nihatra tamin’ ny loharanon’ i Neftoa,

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 dia nidina hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tendrombohitra, izay tandrifin’ ny lohasahan’ ny taranak’ i Hinoma, eo amin’ ny Lohasahan’ ny Refaïta eo avaratra, ka nidina hatramin’ ny lohasahan’ i Hinoma, hatramin’ ny ilany atsimon’ ny Jebosita, ka nidina hatrany En-rogela,

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 dia nizotra avy any avaratra ka nandroso hatrany En-semesy sy Gelilota, izay tandrifin’ ny fiakarana Adomima, ka nidina hatramin’ ny vaton’ i Bohana, zanak’ i Robena,

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 dia nandroso hatramin’ ny ilany avaratra tandrifin’ ny tani-hay ka nidina hatrany amin’ ny tani-hay.

and passed over unto the side over-against Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;

19 dia nandroso hatramin’ ny ilany avaratr’ i Beti-hogla, ka dia nihatra tamin’ ny helo-drano avaratra amin’ ny Ranomasin-tsira, eo amin’ ny farany atsimo amin’ i Jordana; izany no lafiny atsimo.

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 Ary Jordana no fari-taniny atsinanana. Izany no lovan’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina amin’ ny fari-taniny manodidina araka ny fokony.

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 Ary ny tanànan’ ny firenena taranak’ i Benjamina araka ny fokony dia Jeriko sy Beti-hogla ary ny lohasahan’ i Keziza

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 sy Bet-arabà sy Zemaraima sy Betela

and Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, and Beth-El,

23 sy Avima sy Para sy Ofra

and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

24 sy Kefara-hamony sy Ofny sy Geba: tanàna roa ambin’ ny folo sy ny zana-bohiny;

and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and their villages.

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.
