Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:
2 “Ndị a bụ ala nke fọdụrụ unu ga-enweta: “ala ndị Filistia niile na ala ndị Geshua niile,
To wit, all Galilee, Philistia, and all Gessuri.

From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the borders of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites.
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;
And on the south side are the Hevites, all the land of Chanaan, and Maara of the Sidonians as far as Apheca, and the borders of the Amorrhite,
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. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.
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.
Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee.
7 Ya mere, kere ebo itoolu, na ọkara Manase, ala ndị a niile, ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.”
And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,
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 whom Ruben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses the servant of the Lord delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the east side.

From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, and in the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, 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 Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.
11 Ọ gụnyekwara Gilead, nʼoke ala ndị Geshua, na ndị Maaka, na ugwu Hemon niile, na Bashan niile, ruokwa Saleka.
And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha,

All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew 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 children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati: and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this 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 gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of the Lord God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.

22 Tinyere ndị ha gburu nʼọgbọ agha, ụmụ Izrel ji mma agha gbuo Belam nwa Beoa, onye na-agba aja.

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 the herder of the children of Ruben. This is the possession of the Rubenites, by their kindreds, of 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 to his children by their kindreds a possession, of which this is the division.

And in the valley Betharan and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the kingdom of Sehon king of Hesebon: the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the uttermost part of the sea of Cenereth beyond the Jordan on the east 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 children of Gad by their families, their cities, and villages.

He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and his children possession according to their kindreds,
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

And half Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to one? half of the children of Machir according to their kindreds.
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.
This possession Moses divided in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho on the east 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 gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them.
