Joshua 13
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him: 'Thou art old and well stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
1Pea ko eni, kuo motuʻa ʻa Siosiua pea lahi hono taʻu; pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate ia, “Kuo ke motuʻa, pea lahi ho taʻu, pea ʻoku kei toe lahi ʻaupito ʻae fonua ke ikuna.
2This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;
2Ko e fonua eni ʻoku kei toe; ko e ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, mo Kesuli kotoa pē,
3from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the border of Ekron northward — which is counted to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines: the Gazite, and the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, and the Ekronite; also the Avvim
3Mei Sihoa, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he mata fonua ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻio, ʻo aʻu atu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo Ekiloni ki tokelau, ʻaia kuo lau ia ki he kau Kēnani: ko e ʻeiki ʻe toko nima ʻoe kau Filisitia; ko e kakai Kesa, mo e kakai ʻAsitoti, mo e kakai ʻEsikoli, mo e kakai ʻa Kati, mo e kakai Ekiloni; pea mo e kakai ʻAvi foki:
4on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongeth to the Zidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;
4Mei he potu tonga, ko e fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kau Kēnani, mo Meala ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu ʻoe kakai Saitoni, ʻo aʻu ki ʻEfeki, ki he ngataʻanga ʻoe kau ʻAmoli:
5and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entrance of Hamath;
5Pea mo e fonua ʻoe kau Kipila, mo Lepanoni kotoa pē ʻo hanga ki he potu hopoʻangalaʻā, meia Peali kata ʻi lalo ʻoe moʻunga ko Heamoni ʻo aʻu ki he hūʻanga ki Hemati.
6all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, even all the Zidonians; them will I drive out from before the children of Israel; only allot thou it unto Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
6Ko e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe moʻunga mei Lepanoni ʻo aʻu ki Misilefotimeimi, mo e kakai Saitoni kotoa pē, ko kinautolu te u kapusi kituʻa mei he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ka ke vahe ia ʻi he talotalo ki he kakai ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fekau kiate koe.
7Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.'
7Pea ko eni, vahevahe ʻae fonua ni ki he faʻahinga ʻe hiva mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ko honau tofiʻa,”
8With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
8ʻAia naʻe maʻu fakataha mo e faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni mo Kata ʻa honau tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻe ʻatu kiate kinautolu ʻe Mōsese ʻi he potu ʻo Sioatani ki hahake, ʻio, ʻaia naʻe foaki kiate kinautolu ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova;
9from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land from Medeba unto Dibon;
9Mei ʻAloeli ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he tafaʻaki vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni, pea mo e kolo ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he loto vaitafe, mo e toafa kotoa pē ʻo Metepa ʻo aʻu ki Tiponi;
10and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
10Mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi Hesiponi, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni;
11and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
11Mo Kiliati, mo e ngataʻanga ʻoe kakai Kesuli, mo Meekati, pea mo e moʻunga kotoa ʻo Heamoni, mo Pesani kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki Salika;
12all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei — the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim — for these did Moses smite, and drove them out.
12Ko e puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo Oki ʻi Pesani, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi ʻAsitelote, pea ʻi ʻEtilei, ʻakinautolu naʻe toe ʻi he toenga kakai lalahi: he naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe Mōsese, ʻo ne kapusi ʻakinautolu kituaʻā.
13Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites; but Geshur and Maacath dwelt in the midst of Israel unto this day.
13Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻikai kapusi ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae kakai ʻo Kesa, mo e kakai ʻo Meekati: ka kuo nofo ʻae kakai Kesa, mo e kakai Meekati fakataha mo e kakai ʻIsileli ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
14Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of the LORD, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as He spoke unto him.
14Ko e faʻahinga pe ʻo Livai naʻe ʻikai ʻatu ʻe ia ha tofiʻa ki ai; ko e ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi ko honau tofiʻa ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene tala kiate kinautolu.
15And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.
15¶ Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ki he faʻahinga ʻoe fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
16And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land by Medeba;
16Pea naʻe hoko ki ʻAloeli honau ngataʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he tafaʻaki vaitafe ʻo ʻAlanoni, mo e kolo ʻoku ʻi he loto vaitafe, pea mo e toafa kotoa pē ʻo Metepa;
17Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the table-land; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon;
17Ko Hesiponi, mo hono ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻi he toafa; ko Tiponi, mo Pamoti-Peali, mo e Pete-Peali-mioni,
18and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath;
18Mo Sehasi, mo Ketimote mo Mefeta,
19and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zerethshahar in the mount of the valley;
19Mo Kesatemi, mo Sipima, mo Seletiseha, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoe teleʻa,
20and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;
20Mo Pete Peoli, mo ʻAsitoti-pisika, mo Pete-Sesimote,
21and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, that dwelt in the land.
21Pea mo e ngaahi kolo ʻoe toafa, mo e puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi Hesiponi, ʻaia naʻe taaʻi ʻe Mōsese mo e houʻeiki ʻo Mitiane, ko Ivi, mo Lekimi, mo Sua, mo Hua, mo Lepa, ko e houʻeiki ʻakinautolu mo Sihoni, naʻe nofo ʻi he fonua.
22Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among the rest of their slain.
22¶ Ko Pelami foki ko e foha ʻo Peoli ko e taulatuki, naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae heletā fakataha mo kinautolu naʻe teʻia.
23And as for the border of the children of Reuben, the Jordan was their border. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
23Pea ko e ngataʻanga fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa Lupeni, ko Sioatani, mo hono kauvai. Ko e tofiʻa ia ʻoe fānau ʻa Lupeni ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e ngaahi kolo mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻi ai.
24And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad, according to their families.
24Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ki he faʻahinga ʻo Kata, ʻio, ki he fānau ʻa Kata ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
25And their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;
25Pea ko honau ngataʻanga ko Sesa, mo e ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Kiliati, mo hono vaeuaʻanga mālie ʻoe fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻo aʻu ki ʻAloeli ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ʻao ʻo Lapa;
26and from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Lidbir;
26Pea mei Hesiponi ʻo aʻu ki Lamamisipa, mo Petonimi; pea mei Mehanemi ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo Tipa;
27and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan being the border thereof, unto the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.
27Pea ʻi he teleʻa, ko Pete-ʻAlami, mo Petenimila, mo Sukote, mo Safoni, ko hono toe ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi, ko Sioatani mo hono fonua ʻo aʻu ki he matātahi ʻo Kineleti ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani ki hahake.
28This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
28Ko e tofiʻa eni ʻoe fānau ʻa Kata ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e ngaahi kolo, mo honau ngaahi potu kakai.
29And Moses gave inheritance unto the half-tribe of Manasseh; and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.
29¶ Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Mōsese ʻae tofiʻa ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Manase: pea ko e tofiʻa eni ʻo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe fānau ʻa Manase ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
30And their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities;
30Pea naʻe mei Mehanemi honau ngataʻanga, ko Pesani kotoa pē, ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo Oki ko e tuʻi ʻo Pesani, mo e ngaahi kolo ʻo Saili, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Pesani, ko e kolo ʻe onongofulu:
31and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families.
31Mo hono vaeuaʻanga ʻo Kiliati, mo ʻAsitelote, mo e ʻEtilei, ko e ngaahi kolo ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo Oki ʻi Pesani, naʻe kau ki he fānau ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase, ʻio ʻo aʻu ki hono vaeuamālieʻanga ʻoe fānau ʻa Mekili ʻi honau ngaahi faʻahinga.
32These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.
32Ko eni ia ʻaia naʻe vahe ʻe Mōsese ko e ngaahi tofiʻa ʻi he ngaahi potu tafangafanga ʻo Moape, ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Soatani, ʻi he potu ʻo Seliko, ki hahake.
33But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as He spoke unto them.
33Ka naʻe ʻikai foaki ʻe Mōsese ha tofiʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻo Livai: ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa, ʻo hangē ko ʻene tala kiate kinautolu.
