Joshua 18
1 Gbogbo ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli péjọ ní Ṣilo, wọ́n si kọ́ àgọ́ ìpàdé ní ibẹ̀. Gbogbo ilẹ̀ náà sì wà ní abẹ́ àkóso wọn,
Then the whole assembly of the people of Israel met together at Shiloh. They set up the tent of meeting there and they conquered the land before them.
2 ṣùgbọ́n ó ku ẹ̀yà méje nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tí kò tí ì gba ogún ìní wọn.
There were still seven tribes among the people of Israel whose inheritance had not been assigned.
3 Báyìí ni Joṣua sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, “Báwo ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe dúró pẹ́ tó, kí ẹ tó gba ilẹ̀ ìní tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín ti fi fún yín?
Joshua said to the people of Israel, “How long will you put off going into the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
4 Ẹ yan àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́ta nínú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan. Èmi yóò rán wọn jáde láti lọ bojú wo ilẹ̀ náà káàkiri, wọn yóò sì ṣe àpèjúwe rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìní ẹni kọ̀ọ̀kan. Nígbà náà ni wọn yóò padà tọ̀ mí wá.
Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe, and I will send them out. They will set out and survey the land up and down. They will write out a description of it with a view to their inheritances, and then they will come back to me.
5 Ẹ̀yin yóò sì pín ilẹ̀ náà sí ọ̀nà méje kí Juda dúró sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni ìhà gúúsù àti ilé Josẹfu ní ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìhà àríwá.
They will divide it into seven sections. Judah will remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph will continue in their territory in the north.
6 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ẹ bá kọ àpèjúwe ọ̀nà méjèèje ilẹ̀ náà, ẹ mú wọn wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi ní ibí, èmi ó sì ṣẹ́ kèké fún yín ní iwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.
You will describe the land in seven sections and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ Lefi kò ní ìpín ní àárín yín, nítorí iṣẹ́ àlùfáà. Olúwa ni ìní wọ́n. Gadi, Reubeni àti ìdajì ẹ̀yà Manase, ti gba ìní wọn ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Jordani. Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti fi fún wọn.”
The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance, beyond Jordan. This is the inheritance that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”
8 Bí àwọn ọkùnrin náà ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìrìnàjò wọn láti fojú díwọ̀n ilẹ̀ náà, Joṣua pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ kí ẹ sì fojú díwọ̀n ilẹ̀ náà káàkiri, kí ẹ sì kọ àpèjúwe rẹ̀. Lẹ́yìn náà kí ẹ padà tọ̀ mí wá, kí èmi kí ò lè ṣẹ́ kèké fún yin ní ibí ní Ṣilo ní iwájú Olúwa.”
So the men got up and went. Joshua commanded those who went to write the description of the land, saying, “Go up and down in the land and write a description of it and return to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh at Shiloh.”
9 Báyìí ni àwọn ọkùnrin náà lọ, wọ́n sì la ilẹ̀ náà já. Wọ́n sì kọ àpèjúwe rẹ̀ sí orí ìwé kíká ní ìlú, ní ọ̀nà méje, wọ́n sì padà tọ Joṣua lọ ní ibùdó ní Ṣilo.
The men left and walked up and down in the land and wrote a description of it in a scroll by its cities in seven sections, listing the cities in each section. Then they returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.
10 Joṣua sì ṣẹ́ gègé fún wọn ní Ṣilo ní iwájú Olúwa, Joṣua sì pín ilẹ̀ náà fún àwọn Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín ẹ̀yà wọn ní ibẹ̀.
Then Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh before Yahweh. It was there that Joshua assigned the land to the people of Israel, and to each was given his portion of the land.
11 Ìbò náà sì wá sórí ẹ̀yà Benjamini, ní agbo ilé, agbo ilé. Ilẹ̀ ìpín wọn sì wà láàrín ti ẹ̀yà Juda àti Josẹfu.
The assignment of land for the tribe of Benjamin clan by clan. The territory of their assigned land was located between the descendants of Judah and the descendants of Joseph.
12 Ní ìhà àríwá ààlà wọn bẹ̀rẹ̀ ní Jordani, ó kọjá lọ sí gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ Jeriko ní ìhà àríwá, ó sì forí lé ìwọ̀-oòrùn sí ìlú òkè, jáde sí aginjù Beti-Afeni.
On the north side, their border began at the Jordan. The border went up to the ridge north of Jericho, and then up through the hill country westward. There it reached the wilderness of Beth Aven.
13 Láti ibẹ̀ ààlà náà tún kọjá lọ sí ìhà gúúsù ní ọ̀nà Lusi (tí í ṣe Beteli) ó sì dé Atarotu-Addari, ní orí òkè tí ó wà ní gúúsù Beti-Horoni.
From there the border passed along south in the direction of Luz (the same place as Bethel). Then the border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies south of Beth Horon.
14 Láti òkè tí ó kọjú sí Beti-Horoni ní gúúsù ààlà náà yà sí gúúsù ní ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn, ó sì jáde sí Kiriati-Baali (tí í ṣe Kiriati-Jearimu), ìlú àwọn ènìyàn Juda. Èyí ni ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn.
The boundary then went in another direction: On the western side it turned toward the south, heading toward the mountain across from Beth Horon. This boundary ended at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city that belonged to the tribe of Judah. This formed the border on the western side.
15 Ìhà gúúsù bẹ̀rẹ̀ ní ìpẹ̀kun Kiriati-Jearimu ní ìwọ̀-oòrùn, ààlà náà wà ní ibi ìsun omi Nefitoa.
The south side began just outside of Kiriath Jearim. The border went from there to Ephron, to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 Ààlà náà lọ sí ìsàlẹ̀ ẹsẹ̀ òkè tí ó kọjú sí àfonífojì Beni-Hinnomu, àríwá àfonífojì Refaimu. O sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí àfonífojì Hinnomu sí apá gúúsù gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ òkè ìlú Jebusi, ó sì lọ bẹ́ẹ̀ títí dé En-Rogeli.
The boundary then went down to the border of the mountain which was opposite the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which was at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim. It then went down to the Valley of Hinnom, south of the slope of the Jebusites, and continued down to En Rogel.
17 Nígbà náà ni ó yípo sí ìhà àríwá, ó sì lọ sí Ẹni-Ṣemeṣi, ó tẹ̀síwájú dé Geliloti tí ó kọjú sí òkè Adummimu, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ibi Òkúta Bohani ọmọ Reubeni.
It turned northward, going in the direction of En Shemesh, and from there it went out to Geliloth, which was opposite the ascent of Adummim. Then it went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18 Ó tẹ̀síwájú títí dé gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ òkè Beti-Araba, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí aginjù.
It passed on to the north of the shoulder of Beth Arabah and down to the Arabah.
19 Nígbà náà ni ó lọ sí gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ òkè Beti-Hogla, ó sì jáde ní àríwá etí bèbè Òkun Iyọ̀, ní ẹnu odò Jordani ní gúúsù. Èyí ni ààlà ti gúúsù.
The border passed on to the north shoulder of Beth Hoglah. The border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the southern end of the Jordan. This was the boundary on the south.
20 Odò Jordani sí jẹ́ ààlà ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn. Ìwọ̀nyí ní àwọn ààlà ti ó sàmì sí ìní àwọn ìdílé Benjamini ní gbogbo àwọn àyíká wọn.
The Jordan formed its border on the eastern side. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin, and it was given clan by clan, border after border, all around.
21 Ẹ̀yà Benjamini ní agbo ilé, agbo ilé ni àwọn ìlú wọ̀nyí: Jeriko, Beti-Hogla, Emeki-Keṣiṣi,
Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, had these cities: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
22 Beti-Araba, Semaraimu, Beteli,
Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
23 Affimu, Para, Ofira
