1 Iosue senex, provectaeque aetatis erat, et dixit Dominus ad eum: Senuisti, et longaevus es, terraque latissima derelicta est, quae necdum sorte divisa est:
Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years. YHWH said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
2 omnis videlicet Galilaea, Philisthiim, et universa Gessuri.
This is the land that still remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;
3 A fluvio turbido, qui irrigat Aegyptum, usque ad terminos Accaron contra Aquilonem: Terra Chanaan, quae in quinque regulos Philisthiim dividitur, Gazaeos, et Azotios, Ascalonitas, Gethaeos, et Accaronitas.
from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,
4 Ad meridiem vero sunt Hevaei, omnis Terra Chanaan, et Maara Sidoniorum usque Apheca et terminos Amorrhaei,
on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and from Arah that belongs to the Sidonians to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;
5 eiusque confinia. Libani quoque regio contra Orientem a Baalgad sub monte Hermon, donec ingrediaris Emath.
and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath;
6 Omnium qui habitant in monte a Libano usque ad Aquas Maserephoth, universique Sidonii. Ego sum qui delebo eos a facie filiorum Israel. Veniat ergo in partem hereditatis Israel, sicut praecepi tibi.
all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only you allocate it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
7 Et nunc divide terram in possessionem novem tribubus, et dimidiae tribui Manasse,
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh: from the Jordan as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun, you are to give it; the Great Sea will be the boundary.
8 cum qua Ruben et Gad possederunt terram, quam tradidit eis Moyses famulus Domini trans fluenta Iordanis, ad orientalem plagam.
But to the two tribes and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, with him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of YHWH gave them:

from Aroer, that is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;

all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses attacked these, and drove them out.
13 Nolueruntque disperdere filii Israel Gessuri et Machati: et habitaverunt in medio Israel usque in praesentem diem.
Nevertheless the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.
