Yoshua 13

1 Sasa Yoshua alikuwa mzee wakati Yahweh alipomwambia, “Umekuwa mzee, lakini bado kuna nchi kubwa ya kuteka.

Now Joshua was old [and] advanced in years; and the LORD said to him Thou art old [and] advanced in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

2 Nchi iliyosalia ndio hii: mikoa yote ya Wafilisti, na mikoa ile ya Wageshuri,

This [is] the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,

3 (tangu Shihori, iliyoko mashariki mwa Misri, na upande wa kaskazini kuelekea mpaka wa Ekroni, inayofikiriwa kuwa ni mali ya Wakanaani; wafalme watano wa Wafilisti, wale wafalme wa Gaza, Ashidodi, Ashikeloni, Gathi na Ekroni - miliki ya Waavi.

From Sihor, which [is] before Egypt, even to the borders of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:

4 Katika upande wa kusini, kulisalia nchi yote ya Wakanaani, na Meara ambayo ni miliki ya Wasidoni, hadi Afeki, hata mpaka wa Waamori;

From the south all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that [is] beside the Sidonians, to Aphek to the borders of the Amorites:

5 nchi ya Wagebali, Lebanoni kuelekea upande wa mapambazuko ya jua, kutoka Baali- Gadi chini ya Mlima Hermoni mpaka Lebo Hamathi.

And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon towards the sun-rising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon to the entering into Hamath.

6 Pia, wenyeji wote wa nchi ya milima kutoka Lebanoni hadi Misrefothi - Maimu, pamoja na watu wa Sidoni. Nitawafukuza mbele ya jeshi la Israeli. Uwe na uhakika wa kuwapa Waisraeli nchi kama urithi, kama nilivyokuagiza.

And the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, [and] all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot to the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

7 Igawanye nchi hii kama urithi kwa makabila tisa na kwa nusu ya kabila la Manase.

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

8 Pamoja na nusu nyingine ya kabila la Manase, Wareubeni na Wagadi wamekwisha kupokea urithi wao ambao Musa aliwapa katika upande wa mashariki wa Yordani,

With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, [even] as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.

9 kutoka Aroeri, iliyo katika ukingo wa bonde la mto Arnoni (kujumuisha na mji ambao uko katikati ya bonde), kwa nyanda zote za Medeba hadi Diboni;

From Aroer that [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;

10 miji yote ya Sihoni, mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye alitawala katika Heshiboni, hata mpaka wa Waamori,

And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;

11 Gileadi na mkoa wa Wageshuri na Maakathi, mlima wote wa Hermoni, Bashani yote mpaka Saleka;

And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salcah;

12 ufalme wote wa Ogu katika Bashani, aliyetawala katika Ashitarothi na Edrei - hawa ni wale waliosalia katika Refaimu - ambao Musa aliwapiga na kuwafukuzia mbali.

All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants. For these did Moses smite, and cast them out.

13 Lakini watu wa Israeli hawakuwafukuza Wageshuri wala Wamakathi. Badala yake, Wageshuri na Wamakathi wanaishi miongoni mwa Waisraeli hadi leo.

Nevertheless, the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

14 Kabila la Lawi pekee halikupewa urithi na Musa. Urithi wao ni sadaka za Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli, zilizotolewa kwa moto, kama Mungu alivyomwagiza Musa.

Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire [are] their inheritance, as he said to them.

15 Musa aliwapa urithi kabila la Rubeni, ukoo kwa ukoo.

And Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben [inheritance] according to their families.

16 Miliki yao ilikuwa kutoka Aroeri, juu ya ukingo wa bonde la Mto Arnoni, na mji ulio katikati ya bonde, na nyanda zote za Medeba.

And their border was from Aroer that [is] on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;

17 Wareubeni walipata pia Heshiboni, na miji yake yote zilizo katika uwanda, Diboni, na Bamathi Baali, na Bethi Baalimeoni,

Heshbon, and all her cities that [are] in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,

18 na Yahazi, na Kedemothi, na Mefaathi,

And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

19 na Kiriathaimu, na Sibuma, na Zerethishahari juu ya kilima cha bonde.

And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the mount of the valley,

20 Wareubeni walipata pia Bethi Peori, miteremko ya Pisiga, Bethi Yeshimothi,

And Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,

21 miji yote ya uwanda, na ufalme wote wa Sihoni, mfalme wa Waamori, ambaye alikuwa ametawala katika Heshiboni, ambaye Musa alikuwa amemshinda pamoja na viongozi wa Midiani, Evi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri na Reba, wana wa mfalme wa Sihoni, ambao walikuwa wameishi katika nchi.

And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.

22 Pia, watu wa Israeli walimwua kwa upanga Baalam mwana wa Beori, ambaye alifanya mambo ya uaguzi, miongoni mwa wale waliowaua.

Balaam also the son of Beor, the sooth-sayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword, among them that were slain by them.

23 Mpaka wa kabila la Rubeni ni Mto Yordani; huu ndio mpaka wao. Huu ulikuwa ni urithi wa kabila la Rubeni, uliotolewa kwa kila ukoo, pamoja na miji na vijiji vyao.

And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and its border. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and their villages.

24 Hiki ndicho Musa alilipa kabila la Gadi, ukoo kwa ukoo:

And Moses gave [inheritance] to the tribe of Gad, [even] to the children of Gad according to their families.

25 Himaya yao ilikuwa Yazeri, miji yote ya Gileadi na nusu ya nchi ya Waamoni, hadi Aroeri, iliyo mashariki mwa Raba,

And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that [is] before Rabbah;

26 kutoka Heshiboni hadi Ramathi - Mizipe na Betonimu, kutoka Mahanaimu mpaka himaya ya Debiri.

And from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

27 Katika bonde, Musa aliwapa Bethi -Haramu, Bethi - Nimra, Sukothi, na Zafoni, ufalme uliobakia wa Sihoni mfalme wa Heshiboni, pamoja na Yordani kama mpaka, katika sehemu za chini za mwisho wa Bahari ya Kinerethi, upande wa mashariki ng'ambo ya Yordani.

And in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and [its] border, [even] to the edge of the sea of Cinneroth, on the other side of Jordan eastward.

28 Huu ni urithi wa kabila la Gadi, ukoo kwa ukoo, pamoja na miji na vijiji vyao.

This [is] the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.

29 Musa aliwapa urithi nusu ya kabila la Manase. Urithi uligawiwa kwa nusu ya kabila la watu wa Manase kutokana na kabila zao.

And Moses gave [inheritance] to the half-tribe of Manasseh: and [this] was [the possession] of the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.

30 Miliki yao ilikuwa kutoka Mahanaimu, Bashani yote, ufalme wote wa mfalme Ogu wa Bashani, na miji yote ya Yairi, iliyo katika Bashani, miji sitini;

And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which [are] in Bashan, sixty cities:

31 nusu ya Gileadi, na Ashitarothi na Edrei (miji ya kifalme ya Ogu katika Bashani). Miji hii iligawanywa kwa ukoo wa Makiri mwana wa Manase -nusu ya watu wa Makiri, walipewa kwa kila familia zao.

And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [were pertaining] to the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, [even] to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.

32 Huu ndio urithi ambao Musa aliowagawia katika nyanda za Moabu, ng'ambo ya Yordani mashariki mwa Yeriko.

These [are the countries] which Moses distributed for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side of Jordan by Jericho eastward.

33 Musa hakulipa urithi kabila la Lawi. kwa kuwa Yahweh, Mungu wa israeli, ni urithi wao, kama vile alivyowaambia.

But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any] inheritance: the LORD God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as he said to them.
