Iyyaasuu 13
1 Waaqayyos yeroo Iyyaasuun bara dheeraa jiraatee dulloometti akkana jedheen; “Ati amma akka malee dulloomteerta; garuu amma iyyuu lafti dhaalamuu qabu baayʼeetu jira.
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 “Lafti hafe sunis kanaa dha: “guutummaa biyya Filisxeemotaatii fi Geshuurotaa,
Here is a list of the land that remains: The Geshur region and all the area where the Philistia people-group live;
3 karaa baʼa Gibxiitiin laga Shihoorii hamma kaaba daarii Ashqaloonitti jiru hundi akka biyya Kanaʼaanotaatti hedama. Kunis biyya Awootaa kan kutaa biyyoota bulchitoota Filisxeemotaa shanan jechuunis Gaazaa, Ashdood, Eqroon, Gitii fi Eqroon;
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,
4 karaa kibbaatiin immoo guutummaa biyya Kanaʼaanotaa, Meʼaaraa Siidoonaatii hamma Afeeqiitti biyya Amoorotaa
which is south of the area where the Canaan people-group live;
5 kan biyya Gebaalotaa ti; akkasumas karaa baʼaatiin guutummaa Libaanoon, Baʼaal Gaad kan Tulluu Hermoon jalaa hamma Leeboo Hamaatitti.
the area where the Gebal people-group live; and all the Lebanon area east of Baal-Gad [city] at the bottom of Hermon Mountain, as far as Lebo-Hamath.
6 “Ani mataan koo jiraattota biyya gaaraa kanneen Libaanoonii hamma Misrefooti Maayimiitti jiraatan jechuunis Siidoonota hunda fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee nan baasa. Ati akkuma ani si ajajetti biyya kana akka dhaalaatti Israaʼelootaaf hiri;
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 kanas gosoota sagallanii fi walakkaa gosa Minaaseetiif dhaala godhii hiri.”
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].”
8 Walakkaan gosa Minaasee kaan, gosti Ruubeenii fi gosti Gaad biyya Yordaanosiin gama baʼaa kan Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo isaaniif kennee ture sana akkuma inni isaaniif qoodetti fudhatan.
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].
9 Biyyi sunis Aroʼeer kan qarqara Sulula Arnooniitti, argamtuu fi magaalaa walakkaa sulula sanaa keessaatii jalqabee dirree Meedebaan dabalatee hamma Diibooniitti diriira;
Their land extended from Aroer [town] at the Arnon River gorge to the town in the middle of the gorge. It included the whole plain from Medeba [town south] to Dibon [town].
10 akkasumas magaalaawwan Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa kan Heshboon bulchaa ture sanaa hunda dabalatee hamma daarii Amoonotaatti diriira ture.
All the towns ruled by King Sihon were in that area. The land extended to where the Ammon people-group lived.
11 Kana malees Giliʼaad, biyya Geshuurotaatii fi Maʼakaatotaa, guutummaa Tulluu Hermoonii fi guutummaa Baashaan hamma Salkaatti
The Gilead area was also there, and the regions where the people of the Geshur and Maacah people-groups lived, and all of Hermon Mountain and all the Bashan region [south] to Salecah.
12 jechuunis guutummaa mootummaa Oogi kan Baashaan keessaa isa Ashtaarotii fi Edreyii bulchaa ture kan sanyii Refaayimootaa keessaa isa dhumaa taʼe sanaatti diriira. Museenis isaan moʼatee biyya isaanii fudhate.
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 Garuu sababii Israaʼeloonni ariʼanii isaan hin baasiniif Geshuuronnii fi Maʼakaatonni hamma ammaatti Israaʼeloota gidduu jiraatu.
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.
14 Gosa Lewwiitiif garuu inni dhaala tokko illee hin kennine; akkuma inni waadaa isaaniif gale sanatti aarsaan ibiddaan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif dhiʼeeffamu dhaala isaaniitii.
The tribe of Levi was the only tribe that did not get any land. Instead, just like Yahweh promised, they continued to receive [food from] the sacrifices that were given to Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worship], the sacrifices that were burned [on the sacred altar].

Museenis Sihoonii fi bulchitoota Midiyaanotaa kanneen Eewii, Reqem, Zuuri, Huurii fi Rebaa moʼate; isaanis Sihooniin walii galanii biyya sana keessa jiraachaa turan.
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 Israaʼeloonni warra lola keessatti ajjeefaman irratti dabalanii Balaʼaam ilma Beʼoor falfalticha sanas goraadeedhaan ajjeesan.
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.

Their land extended [north] from Mahanaim [city]. It included all the Bashan region, all the land that King Og had ruled, and all the towns in the Jair area in Bashan. Altogether that area included 60 towns.

Moses had allotted to those tribes the land that was on the plain of the Moab [region], on the east side of the Jordan [River], across from Jericho.

But Moses did not allot any land to the tribe of Levi because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, promised that he himself would always provide for them.
