يَشُوع 18

١ 1 وَٱجْتَمَعَ كُلُّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي شِيلُوهَ وَنَصَبُوا هُنَاكَ خَيْمَةَ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَأُخْضِعَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ قُدَّامَهُمْ.

And all the children of Israel assembled together in Silo, and there they set up the tabernacle of the testimony, and the land was subdued before them.

٢ 2 وَبَقِيَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَقْسِمُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ، سَبْعَةُ أَسْبَاطٍ.

But there remained seven tribes of the children of Israel, which as yet had not received their possessions.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «حَتَّى مَتَى أَنْتُمْ مُتَرَاخُونَ عَنِ ٱلدُّخُولِ لِٱمْتِلَاكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَاكُمْ إِيَّاهَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ آبَائِكُمْ؟

And Josue said to them: How long are you indolent and slack, and go not in to possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given you?

٤ 4 هَاتُوا ثَلَاثَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ فَأُرْسِلَهُمْ فَيَقُومُوا وَيَسِيرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَكْتُبُوهَا بِحَسَبِ أَنْصِبَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ يَأْتُوا إِلَيَّ.

Choose of every tribe three men, that I may send them, and they may go and compass the land, and mark it out according to the number of each multitude: and bring back to me what they have marked out.

٥ 5 وَلْيَقْسِمُوهَا إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَقْسَامٍ، فَيُقِيمُ يَهُوذَا عَلَى تُخْمِهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَيُقِيمُ بَيْتُ يُوسُفَ عَلَى تُخْمِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ.

Divide to yourselves the land into seven parts: let Juda be in his bounds on the south side, and the house of Joseph on the north.

٦ 6 وَأَنْتُمْ تَكْتُبُونَ ٱلْأَرْضَ سَبْعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ، ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ هُنَا فَأُلْقِي لَكُمْ قُرْعَةً هَهُنَا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.

The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God.

٧ 7 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلَّاوِيِّينَ قِسْمٌ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ، لِأَنَّ كَهَنُوتَ ٱلرَّبِّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُمْ. وَجَادُ وَرَأُوبَيْنُ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى قَدْ أَخَذُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ فِي عَبْرِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ، ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُمْ إِيَّاهُ مُوسَى عَبْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ».

For the Levites have no part among you, but the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasses have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan eastward: which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.

٨ 8 فَقَامَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَذَهَبُوا. وَأَوْصَى يَشُوعُ ٱلذَّاهِبِينَ لِكِتَابَةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ قَائِلًا: «اِذْهَبُوا وَسِيرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱكْتُبُوهَا، ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأُلْقِي لَكُمْ هُنَا قُرْعَةً أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ».

And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them, saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo.

٩ 9 فَسَارَ ٱلرِّجَالُ وَعَبَرُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ وَكَتَبُوهَا حَسَبَ ٱلْمُدُنِ سَبْعَةَ أَقْسَامٍ فِي سِفْرٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءُوا إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ فِي شِيلُوهَ.

So they went: and surveying it divided it into seven parts, writing them down in a book. And they returned to Josue, to the camp in Silo.

١٠ 10 فَأَلْقَى لَهُمْ يَشُوعُ قُرْعَةً فِي شِيلُوهَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُنَاكَ قَسَمَ يَشُوعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ فِرَقِهِمْ.

And he cast lots before the Lord in Silo, and divided the land to the children of Israel into seven parts.

١١ 11 وَطَلَعَتْ قُرْعَةُ سِبْطِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَخَرَجَ تُخْمُ قُرْعَتِهِمْ بَيْنَ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي يُوسُفَ:

And first came up the lot of the children of Benjamin by their families, to possess the land between the children of Juda, and the children of Joseph.

١٢ 12 وَكَانَ تُخْمُهُمْ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشِّمَالِ مِنَ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ أَرِيحَا مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَصَعِدَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ غَرْبًا، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عْنْدَ بَرِّيَّةِ بَيْتِ آوِنَ.

And their border northward was from the Jordan: going along by the side of Jericho on the north side, and thence going up westward to the mountains, and reaching to the wilderness of Bethaven,

١٣ 13 وَعَبَرَ ٱلتُّخْمُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى لُوزَ، إِلَى جَانِبِ لُوزَ ٱلْجَنُوبِيِّ، هِيَ بَيْتُ إِيلَ، وَنَزَلَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى عَطَارُوتِ إِدَّارَ عَلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي إِلَى جَنُوبِ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ ٱلسُّفْلَى.

And passing along southward by Luza, the same is Bethel: and it goeth down into Ataroth-addar to the mountain, that is on the south of the nether Beth-horon.

١٤ 14 وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ وَدَارَ إِلَى جِهَةِ ٱلْغَرْبِ جَنُوبًا مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ جَنُوبًا. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ عِنْدَ قَرْيَةِ بَعْلٍ، هِيَ قَرْيَةُ يَعَارِيمَ. مَدِينَةٌ لِبَنِي يَهُوذَا. هَذِهِ هِيَ جِهَةُ ٱلْغَرْبِ.

And it bendeth thence going round towards the sea, south of the mountain that looketh towards Beth-horon to the southwest: and the outgoings thereof are into Cariathbaal, which is called also Cariathiarim, a city of the children of Juda. This is their coast towards the sea, westward.

١٥ 15 وَجِهَةُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ هِيَ أَقْصَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ. وَخَرَجَ ٱلتُّخْمُ غَرْبًا وَخَرَجَ إِلَى مَنْبَعِ مِيَاهِ نَفْتُوحَ.

But on the south side the border goeth out from part of Cariathiarim towards the sea, and cometh to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoa.

١٦ 16 وَنَزَلَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي مُقَابِلَ وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ ٱلَّذِي فِي وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ شِمَالًا، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى وَادِي هِنُّومَ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ.

And it goeth down to that part of the mountain that looketh on the valley of the children of Ennom: and is over against the north quarter in the furthermost part of the valley of Raphaim, and it goeth down into Geennom (that is the valley of Ennom) by the side of the Jebusite to the south: and cometh to the fountain of Rogel,

١٧ 17 وَٱمْتَدَّ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى عَيْنِ شَمْسٍ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى جَلِيلُوتَ ٱلَّتِي مُقَابِلَ عَقَبَةِ أَدُمِّيمَ، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

Passing thence to the north, and going out to Ensemes, that is to say, the fountain of the sue:

١٨ 18 وَعَبَرَ إِلَى ٱلْكَتِفِ مُقَابِلَ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ شِمَالًا، وَنَزَلَ إِلَى ٱلْعَرَبَةِ.

And it passeth along to the hills that are over against the ascent of Adommim: and it goeth down to Abenboen, that is, the stone of Been the son of Ruben: and it passeth on the north side to the champaign countries; and goeth down into the plain,

١٩ 19 وَعَبَرَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ بَيْتِ حُجْلَةَ شِمَالًا. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُ ٱلتُّخْمِ عِنْدَ لِسَانِ بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ شِمَالًا إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ جَنُوبًا. هَذَا هُوَ تُخْمُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

And it passeth by Bethhagla northward: and the outgoings thereof are towards the north of the most salt sea at the south end of the Jordan:

٢٠ 20 وَٱلْأُرْدُنُّ يَتْخُمُهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلشَّرْقِ. فَهَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ مَعَ تُخُومِهِ مُسْتَدِيرًا حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

Which is the border of it on the east side. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their borders round about, and their families.

٢١ 21 وَكَانَتْ مُدُنُ سِبْطِ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: أَرِيحَا وَبَيْتَ حُجْلَةَ وَوَادِي قَصِيصَ،

And their cities were, Jericho and Bethhagla and Vale-Casis,

٢٢ 22 وَبَيْتَ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ وَصَمَارَايِمَ وَبَيْتَ إِيلَ،

Betharaba and Samaraim and Bethel,

٢٣ 23 وَٱلْعَوِّيمَ وَٱلْفَارَةَ وَعَفْرَةَ،

And Avim and Aphara and Ophera,

٢٤ 24 وَكَفْرَ ٱلْعَمُّونِيِّ وَٱلْعُفْنِي وَجَبَعَ، سِتَّ عَشَرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ ضِيَاعِهَا.

The town Emona and Ophni and Gabee: twelve cities, and their villages.

٢٥ 25 جِبْعُونَ وَٱلرَّامَةَ وَبَئِيرُوتَ،

Gabam and Rama and Beroth,

٢٦ 26 وَٱلْمِصْفَاةَ وَٱلْكَفِيرَةَ وَٱلْمُوصَةَ،

And Mesphe, and Caphara, and Amosa,

٢٧ 27 وَرَاقَمَ وَيَرَفْئِيلَ وَتَرَالَةَ،

And Recem, Jarephel and Tharela,

٢٨ 28 وَصَيْلَعَ وَآلفَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيَّ، هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ، وَجِبْعَةَ وَقِرْيَةَ. أَرْبَعَ عَشَرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ ضِيَاعِهَا. هَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ بَنِي بَنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

And Sela, Eleph and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gabaath and Cariath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their families.
