Iyyaasuu 18
1 Guutummaan waldaa Israaʼel Shiilootti walitti qabamee dunkaana wal gaʼii achitti dhaabate. Biyyattiin harka isaanii jala galte;
And all the sons of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and there they stationed the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And the land was subjected to them.
2 taʼus amma illee gosoonni Israaʼel torba dhaala isaanii hin fudhanne ture.
But there remained seven tribes of the sons of Israel which had not yet received their possessions.
3 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhe; “Isin utuu biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii isinii kenne kana hin fudhatin hamma yoomiitti turtu?
And Joshua said to them: “For how long will you draw back in idleness, and not enter to possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you?
4 Tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa nama sadii sadii kennadhaa. Anis akka isaan biyya sana ilaalanii akkuma dhaala gosa hundaatti waaʼee ishee barreessaniif isaan nan erga. Isaanis ergasii gara kootti deebiʼu.
Select three men from each tribe, so that I may send them, and they may go forth and circle through the land, and may describe it according to the number of each multitude, and may bring back to me what they have written down.
5 Isin biyya sana iddoo torbatti qoodu qabdu. Yihuudaan biyya karaa Kibbaa keessatti hafee manni Yoosef immoo biyya karaa kaabaatti hafuu qaba.
Divide the land for yourselves into seven parts. Let Judah be its bounds on the southern side, and the house of Joseph to the north.
6 Isin erga waaʼee biyya iddoo torbatti qoodamte sanaa barreessitanii booddee gabaasa natti fidaa; anis fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa duratti ixaa isinii buusa.
The land that is in the middle, between these, write it down in seven parts. And you shall come to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord your God.
7 Gosti Lewwii garuu gidduu keessanitti qooda lafaa hin argatu; sababiin isaas tajaajilli lubummaa kan isaan Waaqayyoof kennan sun dhaala isaanii ti. Gosti Gaad, kan Ruubeenii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee duraanuu karaa baʼa Yordaanosiin qooda isaanii argatanii jiru. Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo sun isaaniif kennee ture.”
But there is no portion among you for the Levites. Instead, the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan in the eastern region, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.”
8 Kanaafuu jarri karaa isaanii qabatanii qajeelan; Iyyaasuunis warra haala biyyattii barreessuu dhaqaniin akkana jedhe; “Dhaqaatii biyya sana sakattaʼaatii waaʼee ishee galmeessaa. Ergasii immoo gara koo kottaa; anis asuma Shiilootti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ixaa isiniif nan buusa.”
And when the men had risen up, so that they might go out to describe the land, Joshua instructed them, saying, “Circle through the land, and describe it, and return to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord, in Shiloh.”
9 Kanaafuu namoonni sun kaʼanii biyya sana keessa dedeemanii waaʼee haala ishees magaalaa magaalaadhaan iddoo torbatti qoodanii kitaaba maramaa irratti barreessanii qubata Shiilootti gara Iyyaasuutti deebiʼan.
And so they went out. And surveying it, they divided it into seven parts, writing it in a book. And they returned to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.
10 Iyyaasuun ergasii Shiiloo keessatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ixaa buuseef; akkuma qooda gosa isaaniittis Israaʼelootaaf biyyattii hire.
And he cast lots before the Lord, at Shiloh, and he divided the land to the sons of Israel, in seven parts.
11 Ixaan jalqabaa akkuma balbala balbala isaaniitti gosa Beniyaamiif baʼe. Biyyi isaan ixaadhaan argatanis gosa Yihuudaatii fi gosa Yoosef gidduutti argama.
And the first lot went to the sons of Benjamin, by their families, so that they would possess the land between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12 Karaa kaabaatiin daariin isaanii Yordaanosii kaʼee kaaba tabba Yerikoo irra darbuudhaan karaa lixaatiin biyya gaaraatti gad buʼee gammoojjii Beet Aawweniitiin baʼa.
And their border toward the north was from the Jordan, continuing on, near the side of Jericho in the northern region, and from there, ascending toward the west to the mountains, and extending to the wilderness of Bethaven.
13 Achii kaʼee kibba tabba Luuzitti jechuunis Beetʼeelitti darbee gara Axaaroti Adaar kan gaara kibba Beet Horoon isa gadii sanaatti gad buʼa.
And it continues to the south beside Luz, which is Bethel. And it descends into Ataroth-addar, at the mountain which is to the south of lower Beth-horon.
14 Daariin sunis karaa kibbaatiin gaara Beet Horoonitti garagalee jiru sanaa kaʼee karaa lixaatiin gara kibbaatti goree magaalaa ilmaan Yihuudaa kan Kiriyaati Baʼaal jechuunis Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim gaʼa. Kunis daangaa lixaa ti.
And it turns aside, circling toward the sea, to the south of the mountain which looks out toward Beth-horon, toward the southwest. And its exits are toward Kiriath-baal, which is also called Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This is their region, toward the sea, in the west.
15 Daangaan kibbaa karaa lixaatiin qarqara Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimiitii jalqaba; daangaan isaa immoo gara bishaan Neftooʼaatti gad buʼa.
But to the south, the border goes on from the part of Kiriath-jearim toward the sea, and it continues as far as the Fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 Daangaan sunis karaa kaaba Sulula Refaayimiitiin gara gaara Sulula Ben Hinoomitti garagalutti gad buʼa. Innis tabba kibba magaalaa Yebuusotaa biraan gara Sulula Hinoomitti itti fufee gara Een Roogeelitti gad buʼa.
And it descends to that part of the mountain which looks out toward the Valley of the sons of Hinnom. And it is opposite the northern region, in the furthest part of the Valley of the Rephaim. And it descends into Geennom, (that is, the Valley of Hinnom, ) near the side of the Jebusite toward the south. And it extends to the Fountain of Rogel,
17 Ergasii gara kaabaatti goree Een Shemesh dhaqa; achii kaʼees gara Geliiloot kan Malkaa Adumiimitti gara galtee jirtu sanaa itti fufee hamma Dhagaa Boohan ilma Ruubeen sanaatti gad buʼa.
crossing from there to the north, and going out to En-Shemesh, that is, to the Fountain of the Sun.
18 Ammas gara tabba kaaba Arabbaatti itti fufee gara Arabbaatti gad buʼa.
And it passes through to the hills that are opposite the region of the Ascent of Adummim. And it descends to Abenboen, that is, so the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. And it continues on, at the northern side, to the plains. And it descends into the flatlands.
19 Ergasii tabba kaaba Beet Hoglaatti qajeelee karaa kaaba galoo Galaana Soogiddaa kan karaa kibbaatiin afaan Yordaanositti argamtuutiin baʼa. Kun daarii karaa kibbaa ti.
And it advances before Beth-hoglah, to the north. And its exits are to the north, opposite the bay of the very salty sea, in the southern region at the end of the Jordan,
20 Lagni Yordaanosis karaa baʼaatiin daarii taʼa. Isaan kunneen daariiwwan dhaala ilmaan Beniyaamiitiif karaa hundaan dhaabamanii dha.
which is its border to the east. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, with their borders all around, and by their families.
21 Magaalaawwan gosti Beniyaam akkuma maatii maatii isaaniitti argatan kanneenii dha: Yerikoo, Beet Hoglaa, Eemeqi Qaziizi,
And their cities were: Jericho and Beth-hoglah and the Abrupt Valley,
22 Beet Arabbaa, Zemaaraayim, Beetʼeel,
Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,
23 Aawiim, Faaraa, Ofraa,

and Zela, Haeleph, and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gibeah and Kiriath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families.
