Joshua 18

1 Kanyakla duto mag jo-Israel nochokore Shilo ma giguro Hemb Romo kanyo. Pinyno nobedo e bwo lochgi,

And all the congregation of the children of Israel were assembled at Selo, and there they pitched the tabernacle of witness; and the land was subdued by them.

2 makmana ne pod nitiere dhout Israel abiriyo mane pod ok oyudo girkeni margi.

And the sons of Israel remained, [even] those who [had] not received their inheritance, seven tribes.

3 Omiyo Joshua nowachone jo-Israel niya, “Ubiro rito nyaka karangʼo kapok uchako kawo mwandu mar piny mane Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach wuoneu, asemiyou?

And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long will you be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our God has given you?

4 Yieruru ji adek koa e dhoot ka dhoot. Abiro oorogi mondo gidhi ginon pinyno kendo gindik malongʼo kuom pinyno, kaluwore gi pok mar ngʼato ka ngʼato. Bangʼe, to gidwog ira.

Appoint of yourselves three men of each tribe, and let them rise up and go through the land, and let them describe it before me, as it will be proper to divide it.

5 Nyaka upog pinyni e migepe abiriyo. Jo-Juda nyaka dongʼ kargi man yo milambo kendo joka Josef bende odongʼ kargi man yo nyandwat.

And they came to him: and he divided to them seven portions, [saying], Juda shall stand to them a border southward, and the sons of Joseph shall stand to them northward.

6 Bangʼ ka usendiko malongʼo kuom migepe abiriyo mar pinyno, to ukelnagiuru kae kendo abiro pogonugi gi ombulu e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa.

And do you divide the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, and I will give you a lot before the Lord our God.

7 Kata kamano, jo-Lawi to ok noyud pok e dieru, nikech tichgi mar dolo ne Jehova Nyasaye e girkeni margi. To Gad, Reuben kod nus mar dhood Manase, to oseyudo girkeni margi e bath aora Jordan ma yo wuok chiengʼ nikech Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye nosemiyogi.”

For the sons of Levi have no part amongst you; for the priesthood of the Lord [is] his portion; and Gad, and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasse, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.

8 E kinde mane jogi owuok mondo gidhi ginon piny, Joshua nomiyogi chik niya, “Dhiuru kendo utim nonro malongʼo mar pinyni kendo undik gik moko duto muyudo e iye. Bangʼe dwoguru ira kendo abiro miyou pok maru Shilo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.”

And the men rose up and went; and Joshua charged the men who went to explore the land, saying, Go and explore the land, and come to me, and I will bring you forth a lot here before the Lord in Selo.

9 Omiyo jogo nowuok modhi koluwo dier piny tir. Negindiko gigo duto mane giyudo e pinyno e kitabu, e dala ka dala, e migepe abiriyo kendo mi gidwogo ir Joshua e kambi man Shilo.

And they went, and explored the land: and they viewed it, and described it according to the cities, seven parts in a book, and brought [the book] to Joshua.

10 Bangʼe Joshua nomiyogo pok margi Shilo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo gikanyono nopogo jo-Israel pinyno kaluwore gi dhoutgi.

And Joshua cast the lot for them in Selo before the Lord.

11 Pok mar joka Benjamin, notimne anywola ka anywola. Kuonde mane opognigo ne ni e kind Juda gi Josef.

And the lot of the tribe of Benjamin came forth first according to their families: and the borders of their lot came forth between the children of Juda and the children of Joseph.

12 Tongʼ-gi ma yo nyandwat nochakore e aora Jordan, kochomo pewe man yo nyandwat mar Jeriko, mi oluwo piny godego kochomo yo podho chiengʼ nyaka ochomo e thim mar Beth Aven.

And their borders were northward: the borders shall go up from Jordan behind Jericho northward, and shall go up to the mountain westward, and the issue of it shall be Baethon of Mabdara.

13 Koa kanyo nongʼado kodhi yo milambo mar pewe mag Luz (tiende ni, Bethel), modhi nyaka Ataroth Adar mantiere yo milambo mar Beth Horon Mamwalo.

And the borders will go forth thence to Luz, behind Luz, from the south of it; this is Baethel: and the borders shall go down to Maatarob Orech, to the hill country, which is southward of Baethoron the lower.

14 Koa e got momanyore gi Beth Horon mantiere yo milambo, tongʼno nogomo kochomo yo podho chiengʼ mar godno, mogik Kiriath Baal (tiende ni, Kiriath Jearim), ma en dala jo-Juda. Mano e tongʼ-gi ma yo podho chiengʼ.

And the borders shall pass through and proceed to the part that looks towards the sea, on the south, from the mountain in front of Baethoron southward, and its termination shall be at Cariath-Baal, this is Cariath-Jarin, a city of the children of Juda; this is the part towards the west.

15 Tongʼ ma yo milambo nochakore oko mar Kiriath Jearim mantiere yo podho chiengʼ, kendo tongʼno nochopo nyaka thidhna mar pi Neftoa.

And the south side on the part of Cariath-Baal; and the borders shall go across to Gasin, to the fountain of the water of Naphtho.

16 Tongʼno nodhi nyaka e tiend got momanyore gi Holo mar Ben Hinom, kod yo nyandwat mar Holo mar Refaim. Nodhi nyime nyaka e Holo mar Hinom koluwo yo milambo mar pewe mar dala maduongʼ mar jo-Jebus kendo mochopo En Rogel.

And the borders shall extend down on one side, this is in front of the forest of Sonnam, which is on the side of Emec Raphain northward, and it shall come down to Gaeenna behind Jebusai southward: it shall come down to the fountain of Rogel.

17 Bangʼe nogomo kochiko yo nyandwat, modhi nyaka En Shemesh, kendo nyaka Geliloth, momanyore gi Adumim, kendo oridore kadhi piny nyaka Kit Bohan ma wuod Reuben.

And [the borders] shall go across to the fountain of Baethsamys:

18 Nodhi nyime nyaka yo nyandwat mar pewe mag Beth Araba mochopo nyaka Araba.

and shall proceed to Galiloth, which is in front by the going up of Aethamin; and they shall come down to the stone of Baeon of the sons of Ruben; and shall pass over behind Baetharaba northward, and shall go down to the borders behind the sea northward.

19 Eka nodhi kendo yo nyandwat mar pewe mag Beth Hogla mi owuok koa yo nyandwat mar dho Nam Chumbi, kama aora Jordan ochakore godo mantiere yo milambo. Mano e tongʼ-gi ma yo milambo.

And the termination of the borders shall be at the creek of the salt sea northward to the side of Jordan southward: these are their southern borders.

20 Aora Jordan ne en tongʼ mantiere yo wuok chiengʼ. Ma e kaka nopog ni anywola mar Benjamin pinygi.

And Jordan shall be their boundary on the east: this [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, these [are] their borders round about according to their families.

21 Mier madongo mane dhood Benjamin nitierego kaluwore gi anywolagi e magi: Jeriko, Beth Hogla, Emek Keziz,

And the cities of the children of Benjamin according to their families [were] Jericho, and Bethagaeo, and the Amecasis,

22 Beth Araba, Zemaraim, Bethel,

and Baethabara, and Sara, and Besana,

23 Avim, Para, Ofra,

and Jebus (this is Jerusalem); and Gabaoth, Jarim, thirteen cities, and their villages; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.
