Joshua 18
1 The Israeli people captured all the land [that they were able to], but there were still seven tribes that had not been allotted any land. The Israeli people all gathered at Shiloh, and they set up the Sacred Tent there.
Kalpasanna, nagsasarak ti entero a taripnong dagiti tattao ti Israel idiay Silo. Impatakderda sadiay ti tabernakulo ken sinakupda ti daga iti sangoananda.
Adda pay pito a tribu dagiti tattao ti Israel a saan pay a naibingayan iti tawid.
3 Joshua said to them, “Why are you waiting a long time to take control of [the rest of] the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], has promised to give to you [RHQ]?
Kinuna ni Josue kadagiti tattao ti Israel, “Kasano kabayag ti panangitantanyo ti ipapanyo iti daga nga inted kadakayo ni Yahweh, a Dios dagiti kapuonanyo?
4 Choose three men from each of your seven tribes. Then I will send them to explore [the parts of] the land [which you have not occupied yet. When they finish exploring it], they must write a report, in which they will (make a map/show the boundaries) of the land that each tribe wants to receive.
Mangdutokkayo iti tallo a lallaki manipud iti tunggal tribu, ket ibaonko ida. Mapanda ket kitaenda ti daga. Mangaramiddanto iti mapa a pakakitaan kadagiti tawidenda, ket kalpasanna, agsublidanto kaniak.
5 They will divide the remaining land into seven parts. The tribe of Judah will keep its land in the south, and the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh will keep their land in the north.
Bingayendanto daytoy iti pito a paset. Agtalinaedto ni Juda iti masakupanda idiay abagatan, ken agtalinaedto ti balay ni Jose iti masakupanda idiay amianan.
6 But in their report, the men from the seven tribes should describe the seven parts of the remaining land [that they wish to receive], and bring the report to me. While Yahweh is watching, I will (cast lots/throw marked stones) [to decide which land should be allotted to each tribe].
Mapaenyonton ti daga iti pito a paset ket iyegyo kaniak ditoy ti mapana. Bunotekto iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Diostayo no ania a paset ti maited iti tunggal maysa.
7 But the tribe of Levi will not be allotted any land, because their [reward is that they will be] Yahweh’s priests. The tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already been allotted their land on the east side of the Jordan [River], just as Moses, the man who served God [well], decided, [so they will not get any more land].”
Awan ti paset dagiti Levita kadakayo, ta ti kinapadida kenni Yahweh ti tawidda. Naawat ti Gad, Ruben ken ti kagudua a tribu ti Manases ti tawidda, iti ballasiw ti Jordan. Daytoy ti tawid nga inted kadakuada ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh.”
8 When the men who were chosen [got ready to] leave, Joshua told them, “Go and explore the land. Then write a report of what you have seen, and bring it back to me. Then while Yahweh is watching, I will (cast lots/throw marked stones) here at Shiloh, [to determine what area each tribe will receive].”
Isu a nagrubuat dagiti lallaki ket napanda. Binilin ni Josue dagiti napan a mangmapa iti daga, a kunana, “Sursorenyo ti daga ket iyaramidanyo daytoy iti mapa ket agsublikayo kaniak. Bunotekto iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Silo no ania a paset ti maited iti tunggal maysa.”
9 So the men left and walked through the area. Then they described in a scroll each town that was in the seven parts [into which they had divided] the land. Then they returned to Joshua, who was still at Shiloh.
Pimmanaw dagiti lallaki ket sinursorda ti daga sada inyaramidan daytoy iti mapa iti nalukot a pagsuratan babaen kadagiti siudadna iti pito a paset, inlislistada dagiti siudad iti tunggal paset. Ket nagsublida kenni Josue iti kampo idiay Silo.
10 [After Joshua read their report], while Yahweh was watching, he (cast lots/threw marked stones) to choose which land would be allotted to each of the seven Israeli tribes.
Kalpasanna, nangbunot ni Josue iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Silo no ania a paset ti maited iti tungga maysa. Ket biningay ni Josue ti daga kadagiti tattao ti Israel-naikkan ti tunggal maysa iti pasetna iti daga.
11 The first tribe that was allotted land was the tribe of Benjamin. Each clan in that tribe was allotted some of the land that was between the area that was allotted to the tribe of Judah and the area that was allotted to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
Ti bingay a daga para iti tribu ti Benjamin ket naited iti tunggal pulida. Ti masakupan ti daga a bingayda ket masarakan iti nagbaetan dagiti kaputotan ni Juda ken dagiti kaputotan ni Jose.
12 The northern border started at the Jordan [River] and extended west along the northern side of Jericho, into the hilly area. From there the border extended west to the desert near Beth-Aven [town].
Iti amianan, nangrugi ti beddengda idiay Jordan. Nagpasang-at ti beddeng iti amianan a paset ti Jerico, ket kalpasanna agpalaud a lumasat iti katurturodan a pagilian. Dimmanon daytoy idiay let-ang iti Bet Aven.
13 From there it extended southwest to Luz (which is [now named] Bethel). From there it extended southwest to Ataroth-Addar [town], which is on the hill south of Lower Beth-Horon [city].
Manipud sadiay, naglayon ti beddeng nga agpa-abagatan iti Luz (isu met laeng ti lugar a Betel). Kalpasanna, agpababa ti beddeng iti Atarot Adar, iti bantay nga adda iti abagatan ti Bet Horon.
14 At the hill south of Beth-Horon, the border turned and extended south to Kiriath-Baal [town], which is [also named] Kiriath-Jearim. That is a town where people of the tribe of Judah live. That was the western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin.
Agturong ti beddeng iti sabali a pagturongan, agkurba iti akin-laud a paset, nga agpa-abagatan iti bantay, iti kasumbangir ti Bet Horon. Nagpatingga daytoy idiay Kiriat Baal (wenno Kiriat Jearim), ti siudad a kukua iti tribu ti Juda. Daytoy ti pakabuklan ti akinlaud a paset.
15 The southern border of their land started near Kiriath-Jearim and extended west to Nephtoah Springs.
Nangrugi ti akin abagatan a paset iti asideg ti Kiriat Jearim. Nangrugi sadiay ti beddeng agingga iti Epron, agingga kadagiti ubbog iti Neftoa.
16 From there it extended south to the bottom of the hill, near Ben-Hinnom Valley, on the north side of Repha Valley. The border extended south along the Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived, to En-Rogel.
Nagpababa ngarud ti nagbeddengan agingga iti beddeng ti bantay a tumannawag iti tanap ti Ben Hinnom, nga adda iti akin-amianan a pungto iti tanap ti Refaim. Nagpababa daytoy agingga iti tanap ti Hinnom, iti abagatan iti bakras dagiti Jebuseo, ken nagpababa agingga iti En Rogel.
17 From there the border extended west to En-Shemesh, and continued to Geliloth near Adummim Pass. Then it extended to the great stone of Reuben’s son Bohan.
Nagkurba daytoy nga agpa amianan, nga agturong iti Ensemes, ken manipud sadiay rimmuar daytoy iti Gelilot, a kasumbangir ti sang-atan ti Adummim. Kalpasanna, simmalog daytoy iti Bato ni Bohan (ni Bohan ket anak a lalaki ni Ruben).
18 From there the border extended to the northern edge of Beth-Arabah [town] and down into the Jordan [River] Valley.
Naglayon daytoy iti amianan a paset ti Bet Araba ket nagpababa agingga iti Araba.
19 From there it extended east to the northern edge of Beth-Hoglah [town] and ended at the north end of the Dead Sea, where the Jordan [River flows into the Dead Sea]. That was the southern boundary [of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin].
Naglayon ti beddeng iti amianan a paset ti Bet Hogla. Nagpatingga ti beddeng idiay amianan a sabangan ti Natay a Baybay, iti akin abagatan a pungto ti Jordan. Daytoy ti nagbeddengan iti abagatan.
20 The Jordan [River] was the eastern boundary of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. Those were the boundaries of the land allotted to them.
Nangrugi ti beddeng ti Jordan iti akindaya a paset. Daytoy ti tawid iti tribu ti Benjamin, ken naited daytoy iti tunggal pulida, nagbebeddengan iti amin nga aglawlaw.
21 The cities in the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin were Jericho, Beth-Hoglah, Emek-Keziz,
