Joshua 13
1 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,
Tango Jozue akomaki mobange mpe mibu ya bomoi na ye epusanaki makasi, Yawe alobaki na ye: « Okomi mpe mobange makasi, mibu ya bomoi na yo esili kopusana mingi. Kasi mokili oyo bosengeli kobotola ezali nanu monene.
2 specifically, all of Galilee, Philistia, and all of Geshur;
Tala mokili oyo etikali: Bituka nyonso ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya bato ya Geshuri:
3 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;
etuka oyo batangaka na molongo ya mikili ya Kanana; wuta na ebale ya Shiyori, oyo etalana na Ejipito kino na ngambo ya nor, na etuka ya Ekroni. Kuna, ezalaki na bakambi mitano ya bato ya Filisitia: mokambi ya Gaza, ya Asidodi, ya Ashikeloni, ya Gati mpe ya Ekroni; etuka ya bato ya Avi;
4 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
mpe wuta na ngambo ya sude, mokili mobimba ya bato ya Kanana mpe Meara oyo ezalaki mokili ya bato ya Sidoni kino na Afeki, kino na bandelo ya bato ya Amori;
5 and his confines; also, the region of Lebanon toward the east, from Baalgad, under mount Hermon, until you enter into Hamath;
etuka ya bato ya Gebali; mpe ngambo nyonso ya este ya Libani, wuta na Bala-Gadi, na ebandeli ya ngomba Erimoni kino na Lebo-Amati.
6 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.
Mpo na bavandi nyonso ya etuka ya bangomba, wuta na Libani kino na Misirefoti-Mayimi, bato nyonso ya Sidoni, nakobengana bango Ngai moko liboso ya Isalaele. Sala keba ete opesa mokili yango lokola libula epai ya Isalaele, ndenge kaka natindaki yo;
7 And now, divide the land as a possession to the nine tribes, and to the one half tribe of Manasseh.”
mpe kabola yango lokola libula kati na mabota libwa mpe ndambo ya libota ya Manase. »
8 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:
Bato ya ndambo mosusu ya libota ya Manase, elongo na bato ya libota ya Ribeni mpe ya Gadi bazwaki libula oyo Moyize, mowumbu na Yawe, apesaki bango na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.
9 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;
Ezalaki wuta na Aroeri, pene ya moluka ya Arinoni, wuta na engumba oyo ezali na kati-kati ya lubwaku, bakisa ngomba mobimba Medeba kino na Diboni,
10 and all the cities of Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, even to the borders of the sons of Ammon;
mpe bingumba nyonso ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo azalaki kokonza na Eshiboni kino na bandelo ya bato ya Amoni.
11 and Gilead, as well as the borders of Geshur and Maacati, and all of mount Hermon, and all of Bashan, as far as Salecah;
Galadi mpe ezalaki na kati, elongo na etuka ya bato ya Geshuri mpe ya Maakati, ngomba Erimoni nyonso mpe Bashani mobimba kino na Salika.
12 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.
Bashani mobimba, mokili ya Ogi, lokola moko kati na bato ya suka ya Refayimi oyo azalaki kokonza na Ashitaroti mpe na Edreyi, ezalaki mpe kati na libula na bango. Moyize alongaki bango mpe abotolaki bango mokili na bango.
13 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.
Kasi bana ya Isalaele babenganaki te bato ya Geshuri mpe ya Maakati; yango wana bakobaki kovanda elongo na bana ya Isalaele kino na mokolo ya lelo.
14 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.
Nzokande, Moyize apesaki libula te epai ya libota ya Levi, pamba te libula na bango ezali makabo bazikisa na moto mpo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, ndenge Yawe alakaki bango.
15 Therefore, Moses gave a possession to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, according to their families.
Tala eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize apesaki na libota ya Ribeni, kolanda bituka na bango:
16 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;
Mabele oyo ezwamaki wuta na Aroeri, pene ya moluka ya Arinoni, wuta na engumba oyo ezali na kati-kati ya lubwaku, bakisa ngomba Medeba mobimba,
17 and Heshbon, and all their villages, which are in the plains; also Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmeon,
kino na Eshiboni mpe bingumba na yango nyonso oyo ezalaka na likolo ya ngomba, bakisa Diboni, Bamoti-Bala, Beti-Bala-Meoni,
18 and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
Yakatsi, Kedemoti, Mefati,
19 and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the mountain of the steep valley;
Kiriatayimi, Sibima, Tsereti-Shaari na ngomba moke ya lubwaku,
20 Bethpeor, and the descending slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;
Beti-Peori, mipanzi ya ngomba Pisiga mpe Beti-Yeshimoti:
21 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.
bingumba nyonso ya ngomba mpe mokili mobimba ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori oyo azalaki kokonza na Eshiboni. Moyize alongaki ye elongo na bakambi ya Madiani: Evi, Rekemi, Tsuri, Wuri mpe Reba, oyo bazalaki kosalela Sikoni mpe kovanda na mokili na ye.
22 And the sons of Israel killed Balaam, the son of Beor, the seer, with the sword, along with the others who were slain.
Kati na bato oyo babomaki na bitumba, bana ya Isalaele babomaki mpe na mopanga Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, moto oyo asololaka na milimo ya bakufi.
23 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.
Mondelo ya bato ya libota ya Ribeni ezalaki nde Yordani. Bingumba oyo mpe bamboka na yango ya mike-mike nde ezalaki libula oyo bapesaki na bato ya libota ya Ribeni, kolanda bituka na bango.
24 And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and his sons, by their families, a possession, of which this is the division:
Tala eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize apesaki na libota ya Gadi, kolanda bituka na bango:
25 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;
Etuka ya Yaezeri, bingumba nyonso ya Galadi, mpe ndambo ya mokili ya bato ya Amoni kino na Aroeri oyo etalana na Raba;
26 and from Heshbon as far as Ramath, Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim as far as the borders of Debir;
mpe wuta na Eshiboni kino na Ramati-Mitsipe mpe Betonimi, wuta na Maanayimi kino na mondelo ya Debiri;
27 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.
mpe na lubwaku, na Beti-Arami, na Beti-Nimira, na Sukoti, na Tsafoni, mpe na mokili ya Sikoni, mokonzi na Eshiboni, oyo etikalaki elongo na Yordani mpe bazingazinga na yango kino na suka ya Ebale monene ya Kinereti, na ngambo ya este ya Yordani.
28 This is the possession of the sons of Gad, by their families, in their cities and villages.
Bingumba oyo mpe bamboka na yango ya mike-mike nde ezalaki libula oyo bapesaki na bato ya libota ya Gadi, kolanda bituka na bango.
29 He also gave, to the one half tribe of Manasseh and to his sons, a possession according to their families,
Tala eteni ya mabele oyo Moyize apesaki na ndambo ya libota ya Manase, kolanda bituka na bango:
30 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;
Mabele oyo ezwamaki wuta na Maanayimi, bakisa mokili mobimba ya Bashani, mokili ya Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani, mpe bamboka mike-mike nyonso ya Yairi oyo ezalaka na Bashani, bingumba tuku motoba,
31 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.
ndambo ya mokili ya Galadi; Ashitaroti mpe Edreyi, bingumba ya bokonzi ya Ogi kati na Bashani; ezalaki mpo na bakitani ya Makiri, mwana mobali, ya Manase mpo na ndambo ya bakitani ya Makiri, kolanda bituka na bango.
32 Moses divided this possession, in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, opposite Jericho on the eastern side.
Yango nde libula oyo Moyize apesaki tango azalaki na etando ya Moabi, na ngambo ya Yordani, na ngambo ya este ya Jeriko.
33 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.
Kasi Moyize apesaki libula te epai ya libota ya Levi, pamba te Ye moko Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, nde azali libula na bango, ndenge alakaki bango.
