Joshua 18
1 And all the sons of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and there they stationed the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And the land was subjected to them.
Tukun elos eisla acn inge, mwet Israel nufon tukeni in acn Shiloh, ac tulokunak Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD in acn we.
2 But there remained seven tribes of the sons of Israel which had not yet received their possessions.
Tusruktu itkosr sin sruf lun Israel soenna itukyang acn selos.
3 And Joshua said to them: “For how long will you draw back in idleness, and not enter to possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you?
Ouinge Joshua el fahk nu sin mwet Israel, “Kowos ac soano nwe ngac in som eis acn ma LEUM GOD lun papa tomowos El sot lowos inge?
4 Select three men from each tribe, so that I may send them, and they may go forth and circle through the land, and may describe it according to the number of each multitude, and may bring back to me what they have written down.
Supwama mwet tolu ke kais sie sruf, ac nga ac fah supwalosla elos in som liye acn inge nufon, ac sruloala luman acn su elos lungse tuh in ma lalos, na elos fah foloko nu yuruk.
5 Divide the land for yourselves into seven parts. Let Judah be its bounds on the southern side, and the house of Joseph to the north.
Acn inge ac fah kitakatelik nu ke ip itkosr. Judah el ac fah eis layen nu eir tuh in ma lal, ac Joseph el ac fah eis layen nu epang.
6 The land that is in the middle, between these, write it down in seven parts. And you shall come to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord your God.
Sruloala luman ipin acn itkosr inge ac use nu yuruk, ac nga ac fah aol kowos in susfa kac ye mutun LEUM GOD lasr.
7 But there is no portion among you for the Levites. Instead, the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan in the eastern region, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.”
Tusruktu, ac fah wangin ip lun mwet Levi inmasrlowos, mweyen orekma mutal lun LEUM GOD ac fah mwe usru lalos. A sruf lun Gad, Reuben, ac Manasseh Kutulap elos eis tari acn lalos layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan. Moses, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh sang lalos.”
8 And when the men had risen up, so that they might go out to describe the land, Joshua instructed them, saying, “Circle through the land, and describe it, and return to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord, in Shiloh.”
Meet liki mwet ah som in sruloala luman acn ingo, Joshua el fahk nu selos, “Kowos som nu in acn ingan nufon, sruloala, na kowos foloko nu yuruk. Na inge, in acn Shiloh, nga ac fah aol kowos in susfa ke acn ingan ye mutun LEUM GOD.”
9 And so they went out. And surveying it, they divided it into seven parts, writing it in a book. And they returned to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.
Ouinge mwet ah som nu fin acn inge nufon ac sruloala ac kitalik nu ke ip itkosr wi inen kais sie siti we. Na elos folokla nu yorol Joshua ke nien aktuktuk Shiloh.
10 And he cast lots before the Lord, at Shiloh, and he divided the land to the sons of Israel, in seven parts.
Na Joshua el kitalik acn uh nu sin sruf lula lun mwet Israel ke susfa ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Shiloh.
11 And the first lot went to the sons of Benjamin, by their families, so that they would possess the land between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
Acn lun sou in sruf lal Benjamin pa itukyang emeet. Acn lalos ah oan inmasrlon acn lal Judah ac Joseph.
12 And their border toward the north was from the Jordan, continuing on, near the side of Jericho in the northern region, and from there, ascending toward the west to the mountains, and extending to the wilderness of Bethaven.
Masrol lalos layen nu epang mutawauk Infacl Jordan utyak ke acn oatu se epang in acn Jericho ac fahla roto lac nu fineol uh, ac utyak na nwe sun yen mwesis in Bethaven.
13 And it continues to the south beside Luz, which is Bethel. And it descends into Ataroth-addar, at the mountain which is to the south of lower Beth-horon.
Na masrol an fahla nu ke acn oatui se eir in acn Luz (su pangpang pac Bethel), na fahla nu Ataroth Addar su oan fineol eir in Beth Horon Ten.
14 And it turns aside, circling toward the sea, to the south of the mountain which looks out toward Beth-horon, toward the southwest. And its exits are toward Kiriath-baal, which is also called Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This is their region, toward the sea, in the west.
Na masrol sac kuhfla som nu layen eir liki siska roto ke fineol soko ah, ac fahla nu Kiriath Baal (ku Kiriath Jearim), su ma lun sruf lal Judah. Pa inge masrol nu roto.
15 But to the south, the border goes on from the part of Kiriath-jearim toward the sea, and it continues as far as the Fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.
Masrol layen nu eir ah mutawauk sisken acn Kiriath Jearim ac fahla sun unon in kof Nephtoah,
16 And it descends to that part of the mountain which looks out toward the Valley of the sons of Hinnom. And it is opposite the northern region, in the furthest part of the Valley of the Rephaim. And it descends into Geennom, (that is, the Valley of Hinnom, ) near the side of the Jebusite toward the south. And it extends to the Fountain of Rogel,
sifilpa oatui nu pe eol ma oan ngetang nu Infahlfal Hinnom su oan epang in Infahlfal Rephaim, fahla pac sasla Infahlfal Hinnom eir in pe eol Jebus nwe ke sun acn Enrogel.
17 crossing from there to the north, and going out to En-Shemesh, that is, to the Fountain of the Sun.
Insac lac el kuhfwak nu epang, fahsryak nu in acn Enshemesh, som na nwe Geliloth su oan ngetang nu ke Innek In Utyak Nu Adummim, sifilpa oatula nu ke Eot lal Bohan (su wen natul Reuben),
18 And it passes through to the hills that are opposite the region of the Ascent of Adummim. And it descends to Abenboen, that is, so the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. And it continues on, at the northern side, to the plains. And it descends into the flatlands.
ac fahla ut epang in mutun eol se ma ngetang nu Infahlfal Jordan, na oatula nu infahlfal ah.
19 And it advances before Beth-hoglah, to the north. And its exits are to the north, opposite the bay of the very salty sea, in the southern region at the end of the Jordan,
Na masrol sac utyak we lac nwe ke acn oatu tafunyen epang in acn Beth Hoglah, ac safla inalok in Meoa Misa ke kapin Infacl Jordan. Pa inge masrol layen nu eir.
20 which is its border to the east. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, with their borders all around, and by their families.
Infacl Jordan pa masrol nu kutulap. Pa inge masrol ma akilenya acn su itukyang nu sin sou in sruf lal Benjamin tuh in ma lalos.
21 And their cities were: Jericho and Beth-hoglah and the Abrupt Valley,
Pa inge siti lun kais sie sou ke sruf lal Benjamin: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

28 and Zela, Haeleph, and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gibeah and Kiriath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families.
