Na dis be di land wey remain: all di Philistine areas, and all di land of di Geshurite people, from di Shihor wey dey for east of Egypt go north reach di border of Ekron (dem dey count am as Canaanite land); di five Philistine rulers—of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron—and di Avvite people, for di south, all di Canaanite land, and Mearah wey belong to di Sidonian people, go reach Aphek, to di border of di Amorite people; and di land of di Gebalite people, all Lebanon go di east side, from Baal-gad wey dey under Mount Hermon reach Lebo-hamath. All di people wey dey live for di hill country from Lebanon reach Misrephoth-maim, all di Sidonian people—na me myself go drive dem comot for front of di people of Israel. Just share di land give Israel as inheritance, as I command you. So share dis land as inheritance among di nine tribes and di half-tribe of Manasseh."

Inheritance for Di East Side of Jordan

Together with di other half-tribe, di Reubenite and Gadite people don already collect dia inheritance, wey Moses give dem for di east side beyond di Jordan, just as Moses di servant of our Papa give dem: from Aroer wey dey for di edge of di Arnon Valley, and di city wey dey for middle of di valley, and all di plateau from Medeba reach Dibon; and all di cities of Sihon king of di Amorite people, wey bin rule for Heshbon, go reach di border of di Ammonite people; and Gilead, di land of di Geshurite and Maacathite people, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan go reach Salecah; all di kingdom of Og for Bashan, wey bin rule for Ashtaroth and Edrei—na im be di last one wey remain among di Rephaim people. Moses conquer Og and drive im people comot. But di Israel people no drive di Geshurite or Maacathite people comot, so Geshur and Maacath dey live among Israel reach today. Na only di tribe of Levi im no give any inheritance; di fire offerings wey dem dey give our Papa, di God of Israel, na dat one be dia inheritance, as im promise dem. a a v14 Na only Levi no collect any land, because di real portion of di priests na our Papa imself — say make dem dey close to am, no be land, na dat one be dia inheritance.

Moses give inheritance to di tribe of di children of Reuben according to dia families. Dia land run from Aroer wey dey for di edge of di Arnon Valley, with di city wey dey for middle of di valley, and all di plateau near Medeba; Heshbon and all im cities wey dey for di plain—Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon, and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar wey dey for di hill wey dey ontop di valley, and Beth-peor, and di slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth, and all di cities of di plain, and all di kingdom of Sihon king of di Amorite people, wey bin rule for Heshbon, wey Moses conquer with di leaders of Midian—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—dem be di princes of Sihon wey dey live for di land. Di people of Israel also kill Balaam pikin of Beor, di fortune-teller, with sword, among di people wey dem kill. Di border of di Reubenite people na di Jordan and im bank. Na dis be di inheritance of di Reubenite people according to dia families—di cities and dia villages.

Moses give di tribe of Gad, di children of Gad, inheritance according to dia families. Dia land: Jazer, all di cities of Gilead, half of di land of di Ammonite people go reach Aroer, wey dey east of Rabbah, and from Heshbon reach Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim reach di border of Debir, and for di valley: Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon—di rest of di kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, di Jordan and im bank, go reach di edge of di Sea of Chinnereth for di east side beyond di Jordan. b b v27 Chinnereth na old name for di Sea of Galilee. Na dis be di inheritance of di children of Gad according to dia families: di cities and dia villages.

Moses give di half-tribe of Manasseh inheritance, for di children of di half-tribe of Manasseh according to dia families. Dia land run from Mahanaim: all Bashan, all di kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all di towns of Jair for Bashan, sixty cities; and half of Gilead, with Ashtaroth and Edrei, di royal cities of Og for Bashan, go to di children of Machir pikin of Manasseh—half of di Machirite people according to dia families.

Na dis be di inheritances wey Moses share for di plains of Moab, for di east side beyond di Jordan near Jericho. Moses no give di tribe of Levi any inheritance; our Papa, di God of Israel, na im be dia inheritance, as im promise dem.
