Joshua 18

1 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, came together at Shiloh: for they set vp the Tabernacle of the Congregation there, after the land was subiect vnto them.

Pea ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli naʻa nau fakakātoa ʻakinautolu ʻi Sailo, ʻonau fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai. Pea naʻe fakavaivai ʻae fonua ʻi honau ʻao.

2 Nowe there remained among the children of Israel seuen tribes, to whom they had not deuided their inheritance.

Pea naʻe kei toe ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae faʻahinga ʻe fitu, ʻoku teʻeki maʻu honau tofiʻa.

3 Therefore Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Howe long are ye so slacke to enter and possesse the land which the Lord God of your fathers hath giuen you?

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “ʻE tuku ʻafē hoʻomou fakatuai ʻo ʻikai ʻalu ke maʻu ʻae fonua, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai?

4 Giue from among you for euery tribe three men, that I may sende them, and that they may rise, and walke through the land, and distribute it according to their inheritance, and returne to me.

Fili meiate kimoutolu ha tangata ʻe toko tolu mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē: pea te u fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, pea kenau tuʻu hake ʻo ʻalu ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua, ke fakahā ia ʻo fakatatau ki honau tofiʻa; pea tenau toe haʻu kiate au.

5 And that they may deuide it vnto them into seuen parts, (Iudah shall abide in his coast at the South, and the house of Ioseph shall stand in their coastes at the North)

Pea kenau vahe ia ki he vāhenga ʻe fitu: ʻe nofo ʻa Siuta ʻi honau tofiʻa ʻi he potu tonga, pea ke nofomaʻu ʻae fale ʻo Siosefa ʻi honau tofiʻa ʻi he tokelau.

6 Ye shall describe the land therefore into seuen partes, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lottes for you here before the Lord our God.

Ko ia ke mou fakaasiasi ʻae fonua ʻo vahe fitu, pea ʻomi kiate au hono tohi ʻo fakaʻilonga ki heni, koeʻuhi ke u fai ʻae talotalo kiate kimoutolu ʻi heni ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.

7 But the Leuites shall haue no part among you: for the Priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: also Gad and Reuben and halfe the tribe of Manasseh haue receiued their inheritance beyond Iorden Eastward, which Moses the seruant of the Lord gaue them.

Ka ko e kau Livai ʻoku ʻikai hanau tofiʻa ʻiate kimoutolu; he ko e ngāue ʻae taulaʻeiki ʻo Sihova ko honau tofiʻa: pea ko Kata mo Lupeni, mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, kuo nau maʻu honau tofiʻa ʻituʻa Sioatani ʻi he potu hahake, ʻaia naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.”

8 Then the men arose, and went their way: and Ioshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Depart, and goe through the land, and describe it, and returne to me, that I may here cast lottes for you before the Lord in Shiloh.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau tangata, ʻo ʻalu atu; pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosiua kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻalu ke tohitohi ʻae fonua, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo ʻosiki ʻae fonua, pea tohi ia, pea toe haʻu kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u fai ʻae talotalo kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Sailo.”

9 So the men departed, and passed through the lande, and described it by cities into seuen partes in a booke, and returned to Ioshua into the campe at Shiloh.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau tangata ʻo mole ʻo ʻasi ʻi he fonua, ʻo tohi vahevahe ia ʻi he tohi ko e vahe fitu, ʻo [nau ]toe haʻu kia Siosiua ki he fakataha ki Sailo.

10 Then Ioshua cast lottes for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Ioshua deuided the land vnto the children of Israel, according to their portions:

Pea naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua ʻae talotalo moʻonautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Sailo: pea naʻe vahevahe ʻi ai ʻe Siosiua ʻae fonua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi vahevahe.

11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Beniamin came foorth according to their families, and the cost of their lot lay betweene the children of Iudah, and the children of Ioseph.

Pea ko e tofiʻa ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani naʻe ʻalu hake ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga: pea ko e ngataʻanga ʻo honau tofiʻa naʻe hoko atu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Siuta mo e fānau ʻa Siosefa.

12 And their coast on the Northside was from Iorden, and the border went vp to the side of Iericho on the Northpart, and went vp through the mountaines Westward, and the endes thereof are in the wildernesse of Beth-auen:

Pea ko honau ngataʻanga, ʻi he potu tokelau naʻe fai mei Sioatani; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae matafonua ki he potu ʻo Seliko ʻi he potu tokelau, pea ʻalu ʻo mole ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻi he potu lulunga: pea ko hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga kituaʻā naʻe ʻi he toafa ʻo Pete-ʻAveni.

13 And this border goeth along from thence to Luz, euen to the Southside of Luz (the same is Beth-el) and this border descendeth to Atroth-addar, neere the mount, that lyeth on the Southside of Beth-horon the nether.

Pea mole hono ngataʻanga mei ai ʻo hanga ki Lusa, ki he potu ʻo Lusa ʻaia ko Peteli ʻi he potu tonga; pea ʻalu hifo ai hono ngataʻanga ki ʻAtaloti ata, ʻo ofi ki he moʻunga ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he potu tonga ki Pete-Holoni ʻi lalo.

14 So the border turneth, and compasseth the corner of the Sea Southward, from the mount that lyeth before Beth-horon Southward: and the endes thereof are at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-iearim) a citie of the children of Iudah: this is the Westquarter.

Pea naʻe fai atu mei ai ʻae ngataʻanga, ʻo ne ʻalu fakatakatakamilo ki he potu tahi ʻo hanga ki tonga, mei he moʻunga ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Pete-Holoni, ki tonga; pea naʻe aʻu atu hono ngataʻanga ki Kesa-Peali ʻaia ko Kesa-Sialimi, ko e kolo ʻae fānau ʻa Siuta: ko hono potu lulunga ia.

15 And the Southquarter is from the ende of Kiriath-iearim, and this border goeth out Westward, and commeth to the fountaine of waters of Nephtoah.

Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ki tonga, naʻe fai mei he potu ʻo Kesa-Sialimi, pea ʻalu atu kituʻa ʻi he potu lulunga, ʻo mole atu ki he vai ʻo Nefitoa:

16 And this border descendeth at the ende of the mountaine, that lyeth before the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of the gyants Northward, and descendeth into the valley of Hinnom by the side of Iebusi Southwarde, and goeth downe to En-rogel,

Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo hono ngataʻanga ki he muileleu ʻoe moʻunga ʻaia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe teleʻa ʻoe foha ʻo Henomi, ʻaia ko e teleʻa ʻoe kakai lalahi ʻi he potu tokelau, pea ʻalu hifo ki he teleʻa ʻo Henomi, ki he potu ʻo Sepusi ʻi he potu tonga, pea ʻalu hifo ki Enilokeli.

17 And compasseth from the North, and goeth foorth to En-shemesh, and stretcheth to Geliloth, which is toward the going vp vnto Adummim, and goeth downe to the stone of Bohan the sonne of Reuben.

Pea naʻe fai atu mei he tokelau, ʻo ʻalu atu ki Eni-Semesi, pea ʻalu atu ʻo hanga ki Kililote, ʻaia ʻoku hangatonu atu ki he hakeʻanga ki ʻAtumima, pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ki he maka ʻo Pohani ko e foha ʻo Lupeni,

18 So it goeth along to the side ouer against the plaine Northward, and goeth downe into the plaine.

Pea ʻalu ai pe ʻo hanga ki he potu ʻoku hangatonu atu ki ʻAlapa ki tokelau, pea ʻalu hifo ki ʻAlapa:

19 After, this border goeth along to the side of Beth-hoglah Northward: and the endes thereof, that is, of the border, reach to the point of the salt Sea Northward, and to the ende of Iorden Southward: this is the Southcoast.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ai pe ʻae ngataʻanga ki he potu ʻo Pete-Hokila ki tokelau; pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻoe matafonua, naʻe ʻi he potu ki kō fakatokelau ʻoe Tahi Kona ʻi he potu fakatonga ʻo Sioatani: ko hono ngataʻanga eni ʻoe potu ki tonga.

20 Also Iorden is the border of it on the Eastside: this is the inheritance of the children of Beniamin by the coastes thereof rounde about according to their families.

Pea ko hono ngataʻanga ʻo ia ʻi he potu hahake ko Sioatani. Ko eni ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻi hono ngataʻanga fakatakamilo, ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga.

21 Nowe the cities of the tribe of the children of Beniamin according to their families, are Iericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,

Pea ko eni, ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoe faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko Seliko, mo Pete-Hokila, mo e teleʻa ko Kesisi,

22 And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,

23 And Auim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

Mo Kifa ʻoe fānau ʻo ʻAmoni, mo Ofini, mo Kepa; ko e kolo ʻe hongofulu ma ua, mo honau ngaahi potu kakai:

Mo Misipa, mo Kifila, mo Mosa,

27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

Mo Lekimi, mo Ilipeli, mo Talela.

28 And Zela, Eleph, and Iebusi, (which is Ierusalem) Gibeath, and Kiriath: fourteene cities with their villages: this is the inheritance of the children of Beniamin according to their families.

Mo Sela, mo Elefi, mo Sepusi, ʻaia ko Selūsalema, mo Kipea, mo Keasa; ko e kolo, ʻe hongofulu ma fā, mo honau ngaahi potu kakai. Ko eni ʻae tofiʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa Penisimani ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
