Josoa 18
1 Nifanontoñe e Silò i valobohò’ o ana’Israeleoy vaho natroa’ iereo i kibohom-pamantañañey, naho fa niambaneañe i taney.
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 Fifokoañe fito amo ana’ Israeleo ty nisisa mboe tsy nandrambe o lova’eo.
And the sons of Israel remained, [even] those who [had] not received their inheritance, seven tribes.
3 Le hoe t’Iehosoa amo ana’ Israeleo, Pak’ ombia t’ie mbe hihànkañe, tsy hizilike hitavañe i tane nitolora’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areoy?
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 Anoloro ondaty telo ia’ o fifokoa’ areoo, hañirahako; hionjoñe mb’eo mb’eo amy taney hanokitse aze ty amo lovao; vaho himpoly amako.
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 Ho zarae’ iereo fito; himoneñe an-tane’e atimo ey t’Iehodà, vaho himoneñe an-tane’ iareo avaratse ey ty anjomba’ Iosefe.
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 Sokire’ areo fito i taney vaho handese’ areo atoy le ho zaraeko an-tsapak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika.
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 Toe tsy hanañ’ anjara ama’ areo o nte-Levio, amy te lova’ iareo ty fisoroña’ Iehovà; naho rinambe’ i Gade naho i Reobene vaho ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè i lova natolo’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà iareo alafe’ Iardene atiñanañey.
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 Aa le niongake indaty rey vaho nionjoñe mb’eo; toe nafanto’ Iehosoa i nimb’eo hamolily i taney rey ami’ty hoe, Akia, tsitsifo fañaveloañe i taney hamoliliañe aze naho mibaliha amako hanjaràko aze an-tsapake ho anahareo añatrefa’ Iehovà e Silò etoa.
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 Aa le nienga nanitsike i taney i lahilahy rey; sinoki’ iareo am-boke ty ho anjara fito ty amo rova’eo naho nibalike mb’ am’ Iehosoa an-tobe e Silò mb’eo.
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 Le nanao tsatopiso ho a iareo añatrefa’ Iehovà e Silò ao t’Iehosoa; vaho zinara’ Iehosoa amo ana’ Israeleo i taney ty amo fifokoa’ iareoo.
And Joshua cast the lot for them in Selo before the Lord.
11 Niazo’ i fifokoa’ o ana’ i Beniamineoy ty amo hasavereña’eo an-tsapake ty anjara tane’ iareo añivo’ o ana’ Iehodao naho o ana’ Iosefeo.
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 Nifototse am’ Iardeney ty efe’ iareo avaratse, le mioza ami’ty avara’ Ieriko i efetsey, mañambone’ o vohibohitseo mañandrefa vaho mandoak’ am-patrambei’ i Beitavene;
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 boak’ao, miranga mb’e Loze i efetsey, mioza ami’ty ila’ i Loze atao Betele mañatimo. Mizotso mb’e Atarotadare i efetsey mañarine i vohitse atimo’ i Bete-korone ambaney mb’eo.
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 Miolak’ amy zao i efetsey miary mañatimo ahandrefa’ i vohitse añatrefa’ ty atimo’ i Bete-koroney vaho mandoake e Kiriate-baale, atao Kiriat-iarime, rova’ o ana’ Iehodao. Zay ty efe’e ahandrefa.
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 Añ’ila’ i Kiriat-iarime ey ty efe’e atimo, mañandrefa amy zao i efetsey mandoak’ an-drano manganahana’ i Nefotoà;
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 mizotso mb’añ’olo’ i vohitse aolo’ ty vavatane’ i ana’ i Hinomey mb’eo i efetsey, ie i vavatane’ o nte-Refao, mañavaratse, naho mizotso mb’am-bavatane’ i Hinome mb’ añ’ olo’ ty tazoa’ i nte-Iebosiý mañatimo, vaho mizotso mb’e En-Rogele mb’eo;
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 le sinokitse mañavaratse le nimb’ En-semese, naho nitohy mb’e Geliote tandrife ty fitroara’ i Adomime vaho mizotso mb’amy vato’ i Bohane, ana’ i Reobeney mb’eo,
And [the borders] shall go across to the fountain of Baethsamys:
18 le mb’añ’ila avara’ i Bete-Arabày naho mizotso mb’añ’Arabà mb’eo;
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 naho mb’ añ’ila’ i Bete-koglà mañavaratse mb’eo i efetsey vaho mandoak’ am-pitolihañe avara’ i riake Siray, am-binañe’ Iardene atimoy; zay ty efe’e atimo.
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 Iardeney ka ty efe’e atiñanañe, zay ty lova’ o ana’ i Beniamineo, ty amo efe’e miarikatok’ azeo, ty amo hasavereña’eo.
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 O rova’ i fifokoa’ o ana’ i Beniamineo ty amo hasavereña’eo: Ieriko, i Bete-koglà naho ty vavatane Kezize,
And the cities of the children of Benjamin according to their families [were] Jericho, and Bethagaeo, and the Amecasis,
