¹Zvino Joshua wakange akwegura, ava namakore mazhinji; Jehovha akati kwaari, Wakwegura, wava namakore mazhinji, dzichiriko nyika zhinji dzinofanira kuva dzenyu.

¹Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and Jehovah said unto him, Thou art old and well stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

²Nyika yasara ndiyo: Nyika dzose dzavaFirisitia, navaGeshuri vose;

²This is the land that yet remaineth: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

³kubva paShihori kurutivi rweEgipita, kusvikira kumuganhu weEkironi kumusoro, wainzi ndowavaKanani; madzishe mashanu avaFirisitia, vaiti: WeGaza, noweAshidhodhi, noweAshikeroni, noweGiti, noweEkironi, navaAvhimi,

³from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the border of Ekron northward, [which] is reckoned to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,

⁴kurutivi rweZasi, nyika yose yavaKanani, neMeara, waiva wavaZidhoni, kusvikira paAfeki, kusvikira kumuganhu wavaAmori;

⁴on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongeth to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;

⁵nenyika yavaGebhari, neRebhanoni rose kumabvazuva, kubva paBhaari-gadhi panjinga pegomo reHemoni, kusvikira pavanopinda paHamati;

⁵and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entrance of 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.

⁶all the inhabitants of the hill-country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, even all the Sidonians; 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.

⁷Zvino unofanira kugovera nyika iyi pakati pamarudzi mapfumbamwe nehafu yorudzi rwaManase, ive nhaka yavo.

⁷Now 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 kwaJoridhani kumabvazuva, sezvavakapiwa naMozisi, muranda waJehovha;

⁸With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them:

⁹kubva paAroeri, parutivi rwomupata weArinoni, neguta raiva pakati pomupata, nebani rose reMedhebha kusvikira paDhibhoni;

⁹from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;

¹⁰namaguta ose aSihoni, mambo wavaAmori, wakange achibata ushe paHeshibhoni, kusvikira kumuganhu wavana vaAmoni;

¹⁰and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

¹¹neGiriyadhi, nenyika yavaGeshuri navaMaakati, negomo rose reHemoni, neBhashani rose kusvikira paSareka,

¹¹and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salecah;

¹²noushe hwose hwaOgi paBhashani, wakange achibata ushe paAshitaroti neEdhirei (ndiye wakange asara pavaRefaimu); nekuti ndivo vakanga vakundwa naMozisi vakadzingwa naye.

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.

¹³Kunyange zvakadaro vana vaIsiraeri havana kudzinga vaGeshuri kana vaMaakati, asi vaGeshuri navaMaakati vagere pakati pavaIsiraeri kusvikira nhasi.

¹³Nevertheless the children of Israel drove not out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst of Israel unto this day.

¹⁴Asi rudzi rwavaRevhichetehaana kurupa nhaka; zvipiriso zvaJehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri, zvaipiswa, ndizvo zvaiva nhaka yavo, sezvaakataura naye.

¹⁴Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings of Jehovah, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spake unto him.

¹⁵Joshua akapa rudzi rwavana vaRubheni mugove wavo nedzimba dzavo.

¹⁵And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.

¹⁶Nyika yavo yakabva paAroeri, parutivi rwomupata weArinoni, neguta raiva pakati pomupata, nebani rose paMedhebha;

¹⁶And their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;

¹⁷Heshibhoni namaguta aro ose ari pabani; Dhibhoni, neBhamoti-bhaari, neBheti-bhaari-meoni;

¹⁷Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,

¹⁸neJahazi, neKedhemoti, neMefahati;

¹⁸and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

¹⁹neKiriataimi, neSibhima, neZereti-shahari mugomo romupata;

¹⁹and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mount of the valley,

²⁰neBheti-peori, nemitenusirwa yePisiga, neBheti-jeshimoti,

²⁰and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,

²¹namaguta ose ebani, noushe hwose hwaSihoni, mambo wavaAmori, wakange achibata ushe paHeshibhoni, wakange akundwa naMozisi pamwechete navakuru veMidhiani, neEvhi, neRekemi, neZuri, neHuri, neRebha, namachinda aSihoni, akanga agere munyika iyo.

²¹and all the cities of the plain, 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.

²²Bharamu, mwanakomana waBheori, muvuki, naiyewo wakaurawa nomunondo navana vaIsiraeri pakati pavamwe vakaurawa navo.

²²Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among the rest of their slain.

²³Muganhu wavana vaRubheni rwakanga ruri Joridhani nenyika yarwo. Ndiyo yaiva nhaka yavana vaRubheni nemhuri dzavo, iwo maguta nemisha yawo.

²³And the border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and the border [thereof]. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

²⁴Mozisi akapa rudzi rwavaGadhi, ivo vana vaGadhi, mugove wavo nemhuri dzavo.

²⁴And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad, according to their families.

²⁵Nyika yavo raiva Jazeri, namaguta ose eGiriyadhi, nehafu yenyika yavana vaAmoni, kusvikira paAroeri, pamberi peRabha;

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;

²⁶nokubva paHeshibhoni, kusvikira paRamati-mizipe, neBhetonimu; nokubva paMahanaimu, kusvikira pamuganhu weDhebhiri;

²⁶and 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, neJoridhani nenyika yarwo, kusvikira pamagumisiro egungwa reKineroti, mhiri kwaJoridhani, kumabvazuva.

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 and the border [thereof], unto the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.

²⁸Ndiyo nhaka yavana vaGadhi nemhuri dzavo iwo maguta nemisha yawo.

²⁸This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

²⁹Mozisi akapa hafu yorudzi rwaManase nhaka yavo; ndiyo yaiva nhaka yehafu yorudzi rwavana vaManase nemhuri dzavo.

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.

³⁰Nyika yavo yakabva paMahanaimu, neBhashani rose, noushe hwaOgi, mambo weBhashani, nemisha yose yeJairi, yaiva paBhashani, maguta makumi matanhatu;

³⁰And their border 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.

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.

³²Ndidzo nhaka dzakagoverwa naMozisi pamapani aMoabhu, mhiri kwaJoridhani paJeriko kumabvazuva.

³²These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.

³³Asi rudzi rwavaRevhi haruna kupiwa nhaka naMozisi; Jehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, iye amene, ndiyo nhaka yavo, sezvavakaudzwa naye.

³³But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance: Jehovah, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spake unto them.
