Josoa 13
1 Naho fa nigain-kantetse t’Iehosoa ie fa nanjo taoñe maro; le hoe ty nitsarae’ Iehovà ama’e: Fa bey irehe, naho maro taoñe, vaho mbe bey o tane mbe ho tavaneñeo.
When Joshua was very old, Yahweh said to him, “Joshua, you are now an old man, but there is still a lot of land [for your army] to capture.
2 Inao ty tane mbe sisa: ze hene efe-tane’ o nte Pilistio naho o nte-Gesore iabio;
Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;

the area where the Canaan people-group live, from the Shihor River [in the south] at the [eastern] border of Egypt, to Ekron [city] in the north; the rulers of the five [cities] of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron; the area where the Avva people-group live,

All the people of the Sidon people-group live in the hilly area from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, but I will force them to leave that area before you Israelis arrive there. Be sure to give that area to the Israeli people when you divide the land among them, like I told you to do.
7 Ie amy zao, zarao ho lova amy fifokoa sive rey naho amy vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy i tane zay.
Divide all that land among the nine Israeli tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh, [the tribes that do not have land on the east side of the Jordan River].”

Half of the tribe of Manasseh and the tribes of Reuben and Gad had already been told what land they would receive, because Moses, the man who served Yahweh [well], had already assigned to them the land on the east side of the Jordan [River].

All the land ruled by Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], was in that land. Og was one of the last descendants of Repha; previously he had ruled in Ashtaroth and Edrei [cities], but [the armies of] Moses had defeated their armies and had taken their land from them.
13 Fe tsy rinoa’ o ana’ Israeleo o nte-Gesoreo naho o nte-Màkatio; toe mitrao-pimoneñe am’ Israele pake henaneo t’i Gesore naho i Màkaty.
But the Israelis did not force the people of the Geshur and Maacah [people-groups] to leave their land, so they still live among the Israeli people.

That land included all the towns on the plain and all the area that King Sihon had previously ruled. But [the army of] Moses had defeated him and the rulers of the Midian people-group: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. The armies of all those rulers fought battles along with the army of Sihon, and they lived in that country.
22 Vinono o ana’ Israeleo am-pibara añivo’ o ila’e zinamañe am’ iareoo ka t’i Balame mpisikily ana’ i Beore.
The Israeli army killed many people during those battles, including Balaam, [the prophet] from Beor, who tried to use magic to predict/tell what would happen in the future.

All this land, including the towns and villages, was allotted to the tribe of Gad.
