يَشُوع 18

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

And all the congregation of the sons of Israel is assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the Tent of Meeting to dwell there, and the land has been subdued before them.

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

And there are seven tribes left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance,

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

and Joshua says to the sons of Israel, “Until when are you remiss to go in to possess the land which He, YHWH, God of your fathers, has given to you?

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

Give three men from you for [each] tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come to me,

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

and they have divided it into seven portions—Judah stays by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph stays by their border on the north—

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

and you describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] to me here, and I have cast a lot for you here before our God YHWH;

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 there is no portion for the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of YHWH [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses, servant of YHWH, gave to 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 the men rise and go; and Joshua commands those who are going to describe the land, saying, “Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and return to me, and here I cast a lot for you before YHWH in Shiloh.”

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

And the men go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a scroll, and they come to Joshua, to the camp [at] Shiloh.

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

And Joshua casts a lot for them in Shiloh before YHWH, and there Joshua apportions the land to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions.

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

And a lot goes up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goes out between the sons of Judah and the sons 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 the border is for them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border has gone up to the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;

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 the border has gone over there to Luz, to the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border has gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower 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 the border has been marked out, and has gone around to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been to Kirjath-Ba‘al (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this [is] the west quarter.

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

And the south quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border has gone out westward, and has gone out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;

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 the border has come down to the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which [is] in the Valley of the Rephaim northward, and has gone down the Valley of Hinnom to the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel,

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

and has been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out to Geliloth, which [is] opposite the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,

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

and passed over to the side in front of the Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;

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 the border has passed over to the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been to the north bay of the Salt Sea, to the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;

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

and the Jordan borders it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders all around, for their families.

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

And the cities for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families, have been Jericho, and Beth-Hoglah, and the Valley of Keziz,

٢٢ 22 وَبَيْتَ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ وَصَمَارَايِمَ وَبَيْتَ إِيلَ،

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

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