Joshua was old and advanced in age, and the Lord said to him: “You have grown old, and are aged, and a very wide land remains, which has not yet been divided by lot,
2 “Ndị a bụ ala nke fọdụrụ unu ga-enweta: “ala ndị Filistia niile na ala ndị Geshua niile,
specifically, all of Galilee, Philistia, and all of Geshur;
3 site nʼosimiri Shaịho dị nʼọnụ Ijipt ruo nʼoke ala Ekrọn, nʼakụkụ ugwu ya, nke a gụnyere ndị Kenan, na ndịisi ise ndị Filistia: ndị Gaza, ndị Ashdọd, ndị Ashkelọn, ndị Gat, na ndị Ekrọn; nakwa ala ndị Ava,
from the muddy river, which irrigates Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron toward the north, the land of Canaan, which is divided among the rulers of Philistia: the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gathites, and the Ekronites;
4 site na ndịda ala ahụ niile dị nʼugwu; nʼala ndị Kenan, na Meara, nke bụ ala ndị Saịdọn, ruo nʼAfek, na oke ala ndị Amọrait;
truly, to the south are the Hivites, all the land of Canaan, and Mearah of the Sidonians, as far as Aphek and the borders of the Amorite
5 na ala ndị Gebal niile; na Lebanọn niile ruo nʼọwụwa anyanwụ, site Baal-Gad nʼokpuru ugwu Hemon ruo na mbata Hamat.
and his confines; also, the region of Lebanon toward the east, from Baalgad, under mount Hermon, until you enter into Hamath;
6 “Ndị niile bi nʼala ugwu site na Lebanọn ruo Mizrefot Maim, ya bụ, ndị Saịdọn niile, Mụ onwe m ga-achụpụ ha site nʼihu ụmụ Izrel. Ihe dịrị gị bụ ike ala ahụ ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa nye ndị Izrel, dịka mụ onwe m nyere gị iwu.
all who live in the mountains from Lebanon, as far as the waters of Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am the One who will wipe them out, before the face of the sons of Israel. Therefore, let their land become a part of the inheritance of Israel, just as I have instructed you.
7 Ya mere, kere ebo itoolu, na ọkara Manase, ala ndị a niile, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.”
And now, divide the land as a possession to the nine tribes, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh.”
8 Ọkara ebo Manase, na ebo Ruben, na Gad, enwetala ihe nketa ha nʼofe ọzọ nke Jọdan, nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ, dịka Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị nyere ha.
With them, Reuben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the eastern side:
9 Ala ha gbatịrị site nʼAroea nke dị na ndagwurugwu Anọn, na site nʼobodo dị nʼetiti ndagwurugwu ahụ, ruo nʼala dị larịị nke gbatịrị site na Medeba ruo Dibọn.
from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon and in the midst of the valley, and all the plains of Medeba, as far as Dibon;
10 Ọ gbatịkwara ruo nʼoke ala ndị Amọn, tinyere obodo niile nke Saịhọn, eze ndị Amọrait na-achị mgbe o bi na Heshbọn.
and all the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, even to the borders of the sons of Ammon;
11 Ọ gụnyekwara Gilead, nʼoke ala ndị Geshua, na ndị Maaka, na ugwu Hemon niile, na Bashan niile, ruokwa Saleka.
and Gilead, as well as the borders of Geshur and Maacati, and all of mount Hermon, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah;
12 Ya bụ, obodo niile nke Ọg eze ndị Bashan na-achị, mgbe isi alaeze ya dị nʼAshtarọt na Edrei. (Ọ bụ eze ikpeazụ nʼagbụrụ ndị Refaim.) Mosis busoro Saịhọn na Ọg agha, tigbuo ha, napụkwa ha ala ha.
the entire kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned at Ashtaroth and Edrei, (he was among the last of the Rephaim). And Moses struck and destroyed them.
13 Ma ndị Izrel achụpụghị ndị Geshua na ndị Maaka, ya mere, ha nọgidere na-ebi nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel ruo taa.
And the sons of Israel were not willing to destroy Geshur and Maacati, and so they have lived in the midst of Israel, even to the present day.
14 O nweghị ala o kenyere ebo Livayị. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị kwere ha nkwa na ihe nketa ha ga-abụ ihe aja onyinye niile e si nʼọkụ na-ewetara Onyenwe anyị Chineke Izrel.
But to the tribe of Levi, he did not give a possession. Instead, the sacrifices and victims of the Lord, the God of Israel, these are his inheritance, just as he spoke to him.
15 Nke a bụ ala Mosis nyere ebo Ruben dịka agbụrụ ha si dị, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.
Therefore, Moses gave a possession to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to their families.
16 Ala ha gbatịrị site nʼAroea, na ndagwurugwu iyi Anọn, sitekwa nʼobodo dị nʼetiti ndagwurugwu ahụ na ala dị larịị gabiga gafee Medeba,
And their border was from Aroer, which is situated on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent, with all the flatlands that lead to Medeba;
17 ruo Heshbọn, na obodo ndị ọzọ dị nʼala larịị ahụ, tinyere obodo Dibọn, na Bamot Baal, na Bet-Baal-Meon,
and Heshbon, and all their villages, which are in the plains; also Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmeon,
18 na Jahaz, na Kedemot, na Mefaat,
and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
19 na Kiriatem, na Sibma, na Zeret Shaha, nke dị nʼugwu nta dị na ndagwurugwu ahụ;
and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the steep valley;
20 na Bet-Peoa, na Bet-Jeshimọt, nke dị nʼebe dị na mgbada ugwu Pisga;
Bethpeor, and the descending slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;
21 na obodo niile dị nʼala larịị ahụ, na ala Saịhọn niile, onye bụ eze ndị Amọrị nke chịrị na Heshbọn. Mosis lụgburu ya, lụgbukwaa ndịisi Midia bụ Evi, na nke Rekem, na nke Zua, na nke Hua, na nke Reba, ụmụ ndị eze ha na Saịhọn jikọtara aka buo agha.
and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned at Heshbon, whom Moses struck down with the leaders of Midian: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the commanders of Sihon, inhabitants of the land.
22 Tinyere ndị ha gburu nʼọgbọ agha, ụmụ Izrel ji mma agha gbuo Belam nwa Beoa, onye na-agba aja.
And the sons of Israel killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the seer, with the sword, along with the others who were slain.
23 Ya mere, oke ala ebo Ruben dị nʼọnụ mmiri osimiri Jọdan. Obodo ukwu na obodo nta ndị a bụ ihe ha nwetara dịka ihe nketa ha. Ezinaụlọ ọbụla nwetakwara oke nke ha dịka ikwu ha si dị.
And the river Jordan was made the border of the sons of Reuben; this is the possession of the Reubenites, by their families, in cities and villages.
24 Mosis nyekwara ebo Gad ala nke ha site nʼala ahụ ha lụgburu, dịka ikwu ha si dị.
And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and his sons, by their families, a possession, of which this is the division:
25 Ndị a bụ ala ebo Gad nwetara: ala ahụ niile dị na Jeza, na obodo Gilead niile, na ọkara ala ndị Amọn nke ruru Areoa, nʼakụkụ Raba.
the border of Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and one half part of the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer, which is opposite Rabbah;
26 Na ala sitere Heshbọn ruo Ramat Mizpa, na Betonim, na sitekwa Mahanaim ruo oke ala Debịa.
and from Heshbon as far as Ramath, Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim as far as the borders of Debir;
27 Nʼime ndagwurugwu ala ha bụ Bet-Haram, na Bet-Nimra, na Sukọt, na Zafọn, na ala fọdụrụ nʼalaeze Saịhọn eze Heshbọn, nke dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan nʼoke ala ya ruokwa nsọtụ osimiri Galili.
also, in the valley Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the remaining part of the kingdom of Sihon, the king of Heshbon; the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the furthest part of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan on the eastern side.
28 Obodo ndị a na obodo nta ndị ọzọ bụ ihe nketa ụmụ Gad dịka agbụrụ ha si dị.
This is the possession of the sons of Gad, by their families, in their cities and villages.
29 Mosis nyekwara ikwu ọbụla dị nʼọkara ebo Manase ala nke ha, dịka mkpa ha si dị.
He also gave, to the one half tribe of Manasseh and to his sons, a possession according to their families,
30 Ala ha ketara gbatịrị ruo Mahanaim. Ọ bụ ha nwekwa ala Bashan niile, na ala niile Ọg, eze Bashan, na-achị, tinyere iri obodo nta isii dị na Bashan, nke Jaịa wuru. Ha nwetakwara
the beginning of which is this: from Mahanaim, all of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Og, the king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty towns;
31 ọkara Gilead, na Ashtarọt, na Edrei bụ isi obodo alaeze Ọg nʼime Bashan. Ala ndị a niile ka e nyere ọkara ebo Manase, ya bụ ikwu niile e nwere site nʼụmụ Makia, ọkpara Manase.
and one half part of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, to the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, to one half part of the sons of Machir, according to their families.
32 Ndị a bụ otu Mosis si keere ụmụ Izrel ala dị nʼakụkụ ọwụwa anyanwụ osimiri Jọdan, mgbe ụmụ Izrel mara ụlọ ikwu ha nʼobosara ala Moab, na ncherita ihu obodo Jeriko.
Moses divided this possession, in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho on the eastern side.
33 Ma Mosis enyeghị ebo Livayị ala ọbụla, nʼihi na ọ gwara ha na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel bụ ihe nketa ha nwere, dịka o kwere ha na nkwa.
But to the tribe of Levi he did not give a possession. For the Lord, the God of Israel, is himself their possession, just as he spoke to him.
