Josué 18

Ngā Rohe a ngā Iwi i Toenga

1 Nā, ka huihui te whakaminenga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira ki Hiro, ā, whakatūria ana e rātou ki reira te tapenākara o te whakaminenga; ā, i taea hoki te whenua e rātou. 2 Nā, ka toe e whitu ngā iwi o ngā tama a Īharaira, kāhore nei i wehea tō rātou kāinga tupu ki a rātou.

3 Nā, ka mea a Hohua ki ngā tama a Īharaira: "Kia pēhea ake te roa o tō koutou nei māngere ki te haere ki te tango i te whenua kua hoatu nei ki a koutou e Ihowā, e te Atua o ō koutou mātua? 4 Whakaritea mō koutou kia tokotoru mō ia iwi; ā, māku rātou e tono, ā, ka whakatika rātou, ka haere i te whenua, ā, ka tuhituhi kia rite ki ō rātou wāhi; ā, ka haere mai ai rātou ki ahau. 5 Me wehe hoki e rātou kia whitu ngā wāhi; me noho a Hūrā ki tōna wāhi ki te tonga, me noho anō hoki te whare o Hōhepa ki tōna wāhi ki te raki. 6 Nā, me tuhituhi e koutou te whenua kia whitu ngā wāhi, ka kawe mai ai i te pukapuka ki ahau ki konei, ā, māku e maka ō koutou rota ki konei ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tō tātou Atua. 7 Otirā, kāhore he wāhi mō ngā Rīwaiti i roto i a koutou; ko te mahi tohunga ki a Ihowā te wāhi mō rātou; ā, ko Kara, ko Reupena, ko tētahi tānga hoki o te iwi o Mānahi, kua whiwhi rātou ki tō rātou wāhi i tāwāhi o Horano whaka te rāwhiti, ki tā Mohi, ki tā te pononga a Ihowā i hoatu ai ki a rātou."

8 Nā, ka whakatika aua tāngata, ā, ka haere; ā, i whakahau a Hohua i te hunga i haere ki te tuhituhi i te whenua, i mea, "Tūria atu, hāereerea hoki te whenua, tuhituhia hoki, ka hoki mai ai ki ahau, ā, māku e maka ō koutou rota ki konei, ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ki Hiro."

9 Nā, ka tūria atu e aua tāngata, ka haere ā puta noa te whenua, ā, tuhituhia iho e rātou ki te pukapuka, e whitu ngā wāhi, he mea whakaaro ki ngā pā, ā, haere ana ki a Hohua, ki te puni ki Hiro. 10 Ā, makā ana e Hohua he rota mō rātou i Hiro, i te aroaro o Ihowā; nā, ka wehea e Hohua te whenua i reira mō ngā tama a Īharaira, kia rite ki ō rātou wehenga.

Te Rohe a Pineamine

11 I puta ake te rota o te iwi o ngā tama a Pineamine, arā o ō rātou hapū; i haere te rohe o tō rātou wāhi i te takiwā o tō ngā tama a Hūrā, o tō ngā tama a Hōhepa:

12 Ā, ko tō rātou rohe ki te taha ki te raki i Horano; nā, i haere te rohe ki runga, ki te taha o Heriko, ki te raki, ā, i haere whakarunga, nā te whenua pukepuke whaka te hauāuru, ā, puta tonu atu i te koraha o Peteawene. 13 Ā, i tika atu te rohe i reira ki Rutu, ki te taha o Rutu, arā ki Pētēre whaka te tonga; nā, i anga whakararo te rohe ki Ataroto Arara, tata tonu ki te pukepuke e tū ana i te tonga o Petehorono ki raro.

14 Nā, ka whakatakotoria atu te rohe, ā, ka āwhio haere mā te taha hauāuru whaka te tonga, atu i te pukepuke e tū ana i te ritenga atu o Petehorono whaka te tonga; ā, ko ōna putanga i Kiriatapaara, arā i Kiriata Tearimi, he pā nō ngā tama a Hūrā. Ko te taha tēnei ki te hauāuru.

15 Ā, ko te taha ki te tonga i te pito rawa o Kiriata Tearimi, ā, i puta atu te rohe whaka te hauāuru, ā, puta tonu atu ki te puna wai i Nepetoa; 16 ā, i anga whakararo te rohe ki te pito rawa o te maunga e tū ana i mua i te raorao o te tama a Hinomo, ki tērā i te raorao o Repaima whaka te raki. Nā, i heke ki te raorao o Hinomo, ki te taha o te Iepuhi ki te tonga, ā, i heke ki Enerōkere. 17 Nā, i whakatakotoria atu i te raki, ā, ka puta atu ki Enehemehe, ā, ka puta atu ki Keriroto, ki te ritenga atu o te pīnakitanga ki Arumine; ā, heke noa ki te kōhatu o Pohana, o te tama a Reupena. 18 Nā, i haere tonu i te taha ki te raki ki te ritenga atu o Arapa, ā, i heke tonu atu ki Arapa. 19 Nā, i haere tonu te rohe ki te taha ki te raki o Petehokora; ā, i pakaru rawa atu te rohe ki te kokoru whaka te raki o te Moana Tote i te pito ki i te tonga o Horano; ko te rohe tēnei ki te tonga.

20 Ā, ko Horano tōna rohe i te taha ki te rāwhiti.

Ko te kāinga tupu tēnei o ngā tama a Pineamine, ko ngā rohe hoki o reira ā tawhio noa, arā o ō rātou hapū.

21 Nā, ko ngā pā o te iwi o ngā tama a Pineamine, o ō rātou hapū:

ko Heriko, ko Petehokora, me Emekeketiti, 22 ko Petearapa, ko Temaraima, ko Pētēre, 23 ko Āwimi, ko Paraha, ko Opora, 24 ko Kepara Hamonai, ko Oponi, ko Kepa – kotahi tekau mā rua ngā pā me ngā kāinga o aua pā.

25 Ko Kipeono, ko Rama, ko Peeroto, 26 ko Mihipe, ko Kepira, ko Motaha, 27 ko Rekeme, ko Iripeere, ko Tarara, 28 ko Heraha, ko Erepe, ko Iepuhi, arā ko Hiruhārama, ko Kipeata, ko Kiriata; kotahi tekau mā whā ngā pā me ngā kāinga.

Ko te kāinga tupu tēnei o ngā tama a Pineamine, o ō rātou hapū.

1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there: and the land was subdued before them. 2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet divided their inheritance. 3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, hath given you? 4 Appoint for you three men of each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto me. 5 And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north. 6 And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring the description hither to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God. 7 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.

8 And the men arose, and went: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh. 9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came to Joshua unto the camp at Shiloh. 10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.

11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph. 12 And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven. 13 And the border passed along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether. 14 And the border extended thence, and turned about on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter. 15 And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim; and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah; 16 and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel; 17 and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben; 18 and it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah; 19 and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south border. 20 And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof round about, according to their families.

21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz, 22 and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el, 23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah, 24 and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages: 25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, 26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, 27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, 28 and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
