Joshua 13

¹Zvino Joshua wakanga akwegura, ava namakore mazhinji; Jehovha akati kwaari, Wakwegura, wava namakore mazhinji, dzichiriko nyika zhinji dzinofanira kuva dzenyu.Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

²Nyika yasara ndiyo: Nyika dzose dzavaFirisitia, navaGeshuri vose;This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,

³kubva paShihori kurutivi rweIjipiti, kusvikira kumuganhu weEkironi kumusoro, wainzi ndowavaKenani; madzishe mashanu avaFirisitia, vaiti: WeGaza, noweAshidhodhi, noweAshikeroni, noweGiti, noweEkironi, navaAvhimi,From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:

⁴kurutivi rweZasi, nyika yose yavaKenani, neMeara, waiva wavaZidhoni, kusvikira paAfeki, kusvikira kumuganhu wavaAmori;From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:

⁵nenyika yavaGebhari, neRebhanoni rose kumabvazuva, kubva paBhaari-gadhi panjinga pegomo reHemoni, kusvikira pavanopinda paHamati;And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.

⁶vanhu vose vagere panyika yamakomo, kubva paRebhanoni kusvikira paMisirefotimaimi, navaZidhoni vose, ivavo ndichavadzinga pamberi pavana vaIsiraeri; asi iwe unofanira kuipa vana vaIsiraeri, ive nhaka yavo, sezvandakakuraira.All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

⁷Zvino unofanira kugovera nyika iyi pakati pamarudzi mapfumbamwe nehafu yorudzi rwaManase, ive nhaka yavo.Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

⁸VaRubheni navaGadhi vakapiwa nhaka yavo pamwechete naye, iyo yavakanga vapiwa naMozisi mhiri kwaJorodhani kumabvazuva, sezvavakapiwa naMozisi, muranda waJehovha;With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;

⁹kubva paAroeri, parutivi rwomupata weArinoni, neguta raiva pakati pomupata, nebani rose reMedhebha kusvikira paDhibhoni;From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;

¹⁰namaguta ose aSihoni, mambo wavaAmori, wakanga achibata ushe paHeshibhoni, kusvikira kumuganhu wavana vaAmoni;And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

¹¹neGiriyadhi, nenyika yavaGeshuri navaMaakati, negomo rose reHemoni, neBhashani rose kusvikira paSareka,And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;

¹²noushe hwose hwaOgi paBhashani, wakanga achibata ushe paAshitaroti neEdhirei (ndiye wakanga asara pavaRefaimu); nokuti ndivo vakanga vakundwa naMozisi vakadzingwa naye.All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.

¹³Kunyange zvakadaro vana vaIsiraeri havana kudzinga vaGeshuri kana vaMaakati, asi vaGeshuri navaMaakati vagere pakati pavaIsiraeri kusvikira nhasi.Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

¹⁴Asi rudzi rwavaRevhi bedzi haana kurupa nhaka; zvipiriso zvaJehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri, zvaipiswa, ndizvo zvaiva nhaka yavo, sezvaakataura naye.Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.

¹⁵Joshua akapa rudzi rwavana vaRubheni mugove wavo nedzimba dzavo.And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.

¹⁶Nyika yavo yakabva paAroeri, parutivi rwomupata weArinoni, neguta raiva pakati pomupata, nebani rose paMedhebha;And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;

¹⁷Heshibhoni namaguta aro ose ari pabani; Dhibhoni, neBhamoti-bhaari, neBheti-bhaari-meoni;Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth- baal, and Beth-baal-meon,

¹⁸neJahazi, neKedhemoti, neMefahati;And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

¹⁹neKiriataimi, neSibhima, neZereti-shahari mugomo romupata;And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the mount of the valley,

²⁰neBheti-peori, nemitenusirwa yePisiga, neBheti-jeshimoti,And Beth- peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,

²¹namaguta ose ebani, noushe hwose hwaSihoni, mambo wavaAmori, wakanga achibata ushe paHeshibhoni, wakanga akundwa naMozisi pamwechete navakuru veMidhiani, neEvhi, neRekemi, neZuri, neHuri, neRebha, namachinda aSihoni, akanga agere munyika iyo.And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.

²²Bharamu, mwanakomana waBheori, muvuki, naiyewo wakaurawa nomunondo navana vaIsiraeri pakati pavamwe vakaurawa navo.Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.

²³Muganhu wavana vaRubheni rwakanga ruri Jorodhani nenyika yarwo. Ndiyo yaiva nhaka yavana vaRubheni nemhuri dzavo, iwo maguta nemisha yawo.And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

²⁴Mozisi akapa rudzi rwavaGadhi, ivo vana vaGadhi, mugove wavo nemhuri dzavo.And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families.

²⁵Nyika yavo raiva Jazeri, namaguta ose eGiriyadhi, nehafu yenyika yavana vaAmoni, kusvikira paAroeri, pamberi peRabha;And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;

²⁶nokubva paHeshibhoni, kusvikira paRamati-mizipe, neBhetonimu; nokubva paMahanaimu, kusvikira pamuganhu weDhebhiri;And from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;

²⁷nomumupata Bheti-harami, neBhetinemura, neSukoti, neZafoni, nohumwe ushe hwakanga hwasara hwaSihoni, mambo weHeshibhoni, neJorodhani nenyika yarwo, kusvikira pamagumisiro egungwa reKineroti, mhiri kwaJorodhani, kumabvazuva.And in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.

²⁸Ndiyo nhaka yavana vaGadhi nemhuri dzavo iwo maguta nemisha yawo.This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.

²⁹Mozisi akapa hafu yorudzi rwaManase nhaka yavo; ndiyo yaiva nhaka yehafu yorudzi rwavana vaManase nemhuri dzavo.And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.

³⁰Nyika yavo yakabva paMahanaimu, neBhashani rose, noushe hwaOgi, mambo weBhashani, nemisha yose yeJairi, yaiva paBhashani, maguta makumi matanhatu;And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:

³¹nehafu yeGiriyadhi, neAshitaroti, neEdhirei, maguta oushe hwaOgi paBhashani, ndiyo yaiva yavana vaMakiri, mwanakomana waManase, yehafu yavana vaMakiri nemhuri dzavo.And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.

³²Ndidzo nhaka dzakagoverwa naMozisi pamapani aMoabhu, mhiri kwaJorodhani paJeriko kumabvazuva.These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.

³³Asi rudzi rwavaRevhi haruna kupiwa nhaka naMozisi; Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, iye amene, ndiyo nhaka yavo, sezvavakaudzwa naye.But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
