¹The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.

¹Huan, Israel suan mipite tengteng Silo khua ah a kikhawm dudup ua, huailaiah kihoupihna puanin a kai ua: gam tuh a thunuai uah a o mta hi.

²Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.

²Huan, Israel suante lakah a tantuam uh hawm nailouh nam sagih a om laia.

³Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?

³Huchiin Josuain Israel suante kiangah, TOUPA na pipute uh Pathianin nou a honna piaksa gam pen bangtan ahia luah loua na awltat lai sin uh?

⁴Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.

⁴Nam chiha mi thum jel kitel khia unla: amau a kuan ding ua, gam a va-en vialvial ding ua, a tantuam hun ding uh bang chiat jelin a vagelh ding ua; huan ka kiangah a hong nawn ding uh.

⁵They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.

⁵Huan, mun sagihin a khen phot ding ua: juda pawl sim lamah a tantuam uah a om dia, huan, Joseph inkuante mal lamah a tantuam uah a om ding uh.

⁶You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.

⁶Huan, gam pen mun sagihin vakhen unla, huai gelhna hongpia un: huchiin hiaiah TOUPA I Pathian maah ai ka honna sansak ding hi.

⁷For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”

⁷Levite tengin na lak uah tantuam a neikei ding ua: TOUPA siampu na a tantuam uh a hih jiakin: huan Gad pawl te, Reuben pawl te leh Manassi nam kimkhat te bel Jordan gal suahlamah amau tantuam TOUPAsikha Mosiin a pik a natangta ua, a chi a.

⁸The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh.”

⁸Huchiin huai mite a pawt kheta ua, huan, gam tanchiin vagelh khiak dingte Josuain, Gam va-en vialvial unla, hongelh khia unla, ka kiangah hontun nawn unla, hiaiah Silo khua ah TOUPA maah ai ka honna sansak ding, chiin thu a pia hi.

⁹The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book. They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

⁹Huan, mite a kuan ua, gam a va-en vialvial ua, mun sagihin a khen ua, laibu ah a khuakhuain a gelh khia ua, giahmun Silo ah Josua kiangah a hoh nawn uh.

¹⁰Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

¹⁰Huan, Josuain Silo ah TOUPA maah ai a nasan saka; huaiah Josuain Israel suante a kikhen dan bang jel un gam a hawmta hi.

¹¹The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

¹¹Huan, aisan tuh a inkuan uh dungjui jelin Benjamin suante tungah a keta a: huan, a gamgi chiang uh Juda suante leh Joseph suante kikal ahi.

¹²Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended at the wilderness of Beth Aven.

¹²Huan, mal lampanga a gamgi chiang uh Jordan akipanin ahi: huan, gamgi Jeriko sikah mal lampangah a pai tou toua, huan, tumlam pangah tang gamah a pai tou jela; gamgi tawpna Beth-aven gamdai ah ahi.

¹³The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.

¹³Huan, gamgi hiai akipanin Luz lamah, Luz (huai bel Bethel a hi) sikah, simlam pangah a pai jela; huan, gamgi Beth-horon khangnung simlam panga tang julah Atarothadarah a pai suk.

¹⁴The border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth Horon southward; and ended at Kiriath Baal (the same is Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west quarter.

¹⁴Huan, gamgi a pai jela, Beth-horon simlam panga tang chin akipanin tumlamah simlam pangah a kual pheia; huai bel Kiriath-baal (huai tuh Kiriathjearim a hi) Juda suante khopi ah a tawpa: huai bel tumlam pang gamahi,

¹⁵The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.

¹⁵Huan, simlam panga gam Kiriath-jearim tawp akipanin ahi, huan, gamgi tum lamah a pawt, nephtoa lui tuite ah a pai jela:

¹⁶The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel.

¹⁶Huan, gamgi Rephiam mallam pang guama Hinom tapa guam china tang mongah a pai suka; huchiin Jebus-te sikah, simlam panga Hinom guam ah a pai suka, huan, En-rogelah a pai suk;

¹⁷It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

¹⁷Huan, mallam juanin a paia, En-semesah a paia, Adumim kah touhna chin Gelilothah a paia; huan, Reuben tapa Bohan suang ah a pai suka;

¹⁸It passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.

¹⁸Huan, Araba sik mallam pangah a pai jela, Araba ah a pai suka:

¹⁹The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.

¹⁹Huan, gamgi Beth-hogla sik, mallam pangah a pai jela: huan, gamgi tawpna bel Jordan sim tawp, Tuipi Al mal tuipimeng ah ahi: huai bel simlam gamgi ahi.

²⁰The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.

²⁰Jordan bel suahlam panga gamgi chiang ahi. Huai ahi Benjamin suante a inkuan uh dungjui jela a tantuam gam un a kual sung.
