Josue 12
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang mga Hari na Natalo sa Silangan ng Jordan
12 1-2 Sinakop na ng mga Israelita ang mga lupain sa silangan ng Ilog Jordan, mula sa Lambak ng Arnon hanggang sa Bundok ng Hermon, kasama na rito ang lupain sa silangan ng Lambak ng Jordan.[a] Ito ang mga hari sa mga lugar na natalo ng mga Israelita:
Si Sihon na Amoreo na nakatira sa Heshbon. Sakop ng kaharian niya ang kalahati ng Gilead. Ito ay mula sa Aroer sa tabi ng Lambak ng Arnon, at mula sa gitna nito hanggang sa Lambak ng Jabok, na siyang hangganan ng lupain ng mga Ammonita. 3 Sakop din niya ang silangan ng Lambak ng Jordan, mula sa Lawa ng Galilea hanggang sa Bet Jeshimot, sa silangan ng Dagat na Patay[b] at hanggang sa timog sa ibaba ng libis ng Pisga.
4 Ang ikalawa ay si Haring Og ng Bashan. Isa siya sa mga naiwan na Refaimeo. Nakatira siya sa Ashtarot at sa Edrei. 5 Ang sakop ng kaharian niya ay ang Bundok ng Hermon, Saleca, ang buong Bashan hanggang sa hangganan ng Geshur at Maaca, at ang kalahati ng Gilead, hanggang sa hangganan ng Heshbon, na ang hari ay si Sihon. 6 Tinalo sila ni Moises, na lingkod ng Panginoon, at ng mga Israelita. Ibinigay ni Moises ang lupain ng mga ito sa lahi ni Reuben, Gad at sa kalahating lahi ni Manase bilang mana nila.
Ang mga Hari na Natalo sa Kanluran ng Jordan
7-8 Sinakop din ni Josue at ng mga Israelita ang mga lupain sa kanluran ng Jordan, mula sa Baal Gad sa Lambak ng Lebanon hanggang sa Bundok ng Halak na paahon sa Seir. Ibinigay ni Josue ang mga lupaing ito sa mga Israelita bilang mana nila. Hinati niya ito ayon sa bawat lahi nila. Ang mga lupaing ito ay ang mga kabundukan, mga kaburulan sa kanluran,[c] ang Lambak ng Jordan, ang mga libis, ang disyerto sa timog, at ang Negev. Tinirhan ito dati ng mga Heteo, Amoreo, Cananeo, Perezeo, Hiveo, at mga Jebuseo. Ito ang mga hari ng mga lugar na iyon na tinalo ni Josue at ng mga Israelita:

12 Now these are the kings of the land whom the Israelites defeated and drove from their land[a] on the east side of the Jordan,[b] from the Arnon Valley to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern rift valley:[c]
2 King Sihon of the Amorites who lived[d] in Heshbon and ruled from Aroer (on the edge of the Arnon Valley)—including the city in the middle of the valley[e] and half of Gilead—all the way to the Jabbok Valley bordering Ammonite territory. 3 His kingdom included[f] the eastern rift valley from the Sea of Kinnereth[g] to the sea of the rift valley (the Salt Sea),[h] including the route to Beth Jeshimoth and the area southward below the slopes of Pisgah.[i]
