يَشُوع 13

١ 1 وَشَاخَ يَشُوعُ وَطَعَنَ فِي الْعُمْرِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَقَدْ شِخْتَ وَطَعَنْتَ فِي السِّنِّ، وَمَا بَرِحَتْ هُنَاكَ أَرْضٌ شَاسِعَةٌ لِلامْتِلاكِ.

Now Joshua was very old when Yahweh said to him, “You are very old, but there is still very much land to capture.

٢ 2 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الأَرْضُ الْمُتَبَقِّيَةُ: كُلُّ مَنَاطِقِ أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَالْجَشُورِيِّينَ،

This is the land that still remains: All the regions of the Philistines, and all those of the Geshurites,

٣ 3 الْمُمْتَدَّةِ مِنْ نَهْرِ شِيحُورَ شَرْقِيَّ مِصْرَ حَتَّى إِقْلِيمِ عَقْرُونَ شِمَالاً، وَجَمِيعُهَا تُعْتَبَرُ مِلْكاً لِلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ. وَهِيَ مَنَاطِقُ لِلْحُكَّامِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي غَزَّةَ وَأَشْدُودَ وَأَشْقَلُونَ وَجَتَّ وَعَقْرُونَ وَالْعَوِيِّينَ،

from Shihor, which is east of Egypt, and northward to the border of Ekron, which is considered property of the Canaanites; the five rulers of the Philistines, those of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron—the territory of the Avvites.

٤ 4 وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، وَالْمَغَارَةُ الَّتِي يَمْلِكُهَا الصِّيدُونِيُّونَ حَتَّى أَفِيقَ عِنْدَ حُدُودِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ جَنُوباً.

In the south (the territory of the Avvites); all the lands of the Canaanites, from Arah that belongs to the Sidonians, as far as Aphek which is on the border of the Amorites;

٥ 5 وَأَرْضُ الْجِبْلِيِّينَ وَكُلُّ لُبْنَانَ شَرْقاً مِنْ بَعْلِ جَادٍ عِنْدَ سَفْحِ حَرْمُونَ حَتَّى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ.

the land of the Gebalites, all of Lebanon toward the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath.

٦ 6 أَمَّا جَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ الْجَبَلِ فِي لُبْنَانَ حَتَّى مِسْرَفُوتَ مَايِمَ، أَيْ جَمِيعُ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، فَأَنَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُوَزِّعَ هَذِهِ الأَرَاضِي بِالْقُرْعَةِ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ لِتَكُونَ مِلْكاً لَهُمْ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ.

Also, all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth Maim, including all the people of Sidon. I will drive them out before the army of Israel. Be sure to assign the land to Israel as an inheritance, as I commanded you.

٧ 7 وَقَسِّمْهَا لِتَكُونَ مِيرَاثاً لِلتِّسْعَةِ الأَسْبَاطِ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى،

Divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Manasseh.”

٨ 8 لأَنَّ نِصْفَ مَنَسَّى الآخَرَ وَالرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ قَدْ حَصَلُوا عَلَى مِيرَاثِهِمِ الَّذِي وَهَبَهُ لَهُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ فِي شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ».

With the other half of the tribe of Manasseh, the Reubenites and the Gadites had received their inheritance that Moses gave them on the east side of the Jordan,

٩ 9 وَهُوَ يَمْتَدُّ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ القَائِمَةِ عَلَى طَرَفِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَدِينَةُ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِهِ، وَسَهْلُ مِيدَبَا إِلَى دِيبُونَ،

from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon river gorge (including the city that is in the middle of the gorge), to all the plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon;

١٠ 10 وَكُلِّ مُدُنِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَحْكُمُ فِي حَشْبُونَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ،

all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, to the border of the Ammonites;

١١ 11 وَجِلْعَادَ وَأَرَاضِي الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَجَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ كُلِّهِ، وَسَائِرِ بَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ،

Gilead, and the region of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, all Bashan to Salekah;

١٢ 12 وَكُلِّ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ الَّذِي يَحْكُمُ فِي عَشْتَارُوثَ وَفِي إِذْرَعِي، وَهُوَ آخِرُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنَ الرَّفَائِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ هَاجَمَهُمْ مُوسَى وَطَرَدَهُمْ.

all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei—these are what was left of the remnant of the Rephaim—Moses struck them and drove them out.

١٣ 13 وَلَمْ يَطْرُدِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْمَعْكِيِّينَ، فَظَلُّوا يُقِيمُونَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

But the people of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. Instead, Geshur and Maacath live among Israel to this day.

١٤ 14 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطِ سِبْطَ لاوِي مِيرَاثاً، لأَنَّ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ الْمُقَرَّبَةَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ نَصِيبَهُمْ، كَمَا وَعَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ.

To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance. The offerings of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire, are their inheritance, as God said to Moses.

١٥ 15 وَهَذَا مَا وَهَبَهُ مُوسَى لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

Moses gave an inheritance to the tribe of Reuben, clan by clan.

١٦ 16 كَانَتْ حُدُودُهُمْ تَمْتَدُّ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ الْقَائِمَةِ عَلَى طَرَفِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَدِينَةُ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ الْوَادِي وَكُلُّ سَهْلِ مِيدَبَا،

Their territory was from Aroer, on the edge of the Arnon River gorge, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plateau by Medeba.

١٧ 17 فَضْلاً عَنْ حَشْبُونَ وَسَائِرِ قُرَاهَا الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ فِي السَّهْلِ، وَدِيبُونَ وَبَامُوتَ بَعْلٍ، وَبَيْتِ بَعْلِ مَعُونَ،

Reuben also received Heshbon and all its cities that are in the plateau, Dibon, and Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon,

١٨ 18 وَيَهْصَةَ وَقَدِيمُوتَ وَمَيْفَعَةَ

and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

١٩ 19 وَقَرْيَتَايِمَ وَسِبْمَةَ وَصَارَثَ الشَّحْرِ فِي جَبَلِ الْوَادِي،

and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar on the hill of the valley.

٢٠ 20 وَبَيْتِ فَغُورَ وَسُفُوحِ الْفِسْجَةِ وَبَيْتِ يَشِيمُوتَ،

Reuben also received Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,

٢١ 21 وَكُلِّ مُدُنِ السَّهْلِ، وَكَافَّةِ مَمْلَكَةِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي حَكَمَ فِي حَشْبُونَ، الَّذِي قَضَى عَلَيْهِ مُوسَى مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ رُؤَسَاءِ مِدْيَانَ: أُوِي وَرَاقَمَ وَصُورَ وَحُورَ وَرَابِعَ أُمَرَاءِ سِيحُونَ.

all the cities of the plateau, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses had defeated together with the leaders of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who had lived in the land.

٢٢ 22 وَبَلْعَامُ بْنُ بَعُورَ الْعَرَّافُ قَتَلَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالسَّيْفِ مَعَ جُمْلَةِ قَتْلاهُمْ.

The people of Israel also killed with the sword Balaam son of Beor, who practiced divination, among the rest of those they had killed.

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَ نَهْرُ الأُرْدُنِّ هُوَ الْحَدُّ الْغَرْبِيُّ لأَرَاضِي سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ، فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْمُدُنُ وَضِيَاعُهَا مِنْ نَصِيبِ الرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

The border of the tribe of Reuben is the Jordan River; this is their boundary. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Reuben, given to each of their clans, with their cities and villages.

٢٤ 24 وَهَذَا مَا أَوْرَثَهُ مُوسَى لِسِبْطِ جَادٍ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

This is what Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, clan by clan:

٢٥ 25 كَانَتْ حُدُودُهُمْ تَشْمَلُ يَعْزِيرَ وَكُلَّ مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ وَنِصْفَ أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ إِلَى عَرُوعِيرَ الْقَائِمَةِ مُقَابِلَ رَبَّةَ.

Their territory was Jazer, all the cities of Gilead and half the land of the Ammonites, to Aroer, which is east of Rabbah,

٢٦ 26 وَكَذَلِكَ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ إِلَى رَامَةِ الْمِصْفَاةِ وَبُطُونِيمَ، وَمِنْ مَحَنَايِمَ إِلَى حُدُودِ دَبِيرَ.

from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir.

٢٧ 27 وَضَمَّتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِي الْوَادِي بَيْتَ هَارَامَ وَبَيْتَ نِمْرَةَ وَسُكُّوتَ وَصَافُونَ، مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ مَمْلَكَةِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَامْتَدَّتْ تُخُومُ الْجَادِيِّينَ شِمَالًا حَتَّى طَرَفِ بُحَيْرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ.

In the valley, Moses gave them Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as a border, to the lower end of the Sea of Kinnereth, eastward beyond the Jordan.

٢٨ 28 هَذَا نَصِيبُ بَنِي جَادٍ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَمُدُنِهِمْ وَضِيَاعِهَا.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of Gad, clan by clan, with their cities and villages.

٢٩ 29 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي وَزَّعَهَا مُوسَى عَلَى نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

Moses gave an inheritance to the half tribe of Manasseh. It was assigned to the half tribe of the people of Manasseh, clan by clan.

٣٠ 30 كَانَتْ حُدُودُهُمْ تَمْتَدُّ مِنْ مَحَنَايِمَ لِتَشْمَلَ كُلَّ مَمْلَكَةِ بَاشَانَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَحْكُمُهَا عُوجٌ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ، وَكُلَّ حَوُّوثِ يَائِيرَ بِمُدُنِهَا السِّتِّينَ فِي بَاشَانَ.

Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities;

٣١ 31 وَنِصْفَ جِلْعَادَ وَعَشْتَارُوثَ وَإِذْرَعِي وَهِيَ مُدُنُ عُوجٍ الْمَلَكِيَّةُ فِي بَاشَانَ. وَقَد وُهِبَتْ هَذِهِ لِنِصْفِ ذُرِّيَّةِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى بِحَسَبِ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan). These were assigned to the clan of Machir son of Manasseh—half of the people of Machir, clan by clan.

٣٢ 32 هَذِهِ هِيَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي وَزَّعَهَا مُوسَى فِي سُهُولِ مُوآبَ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

This is the inheritance that Moses assigned to them on the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan east of Jericho.

٣٣ 33 أَمَّا سِبْطُ لاوِي فَلَمْ يُوَرِّثْهُ مُوسَى مِلْكاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ نَصِيبَهُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِهِ.

Moses did not give an inheritance to the tribe of Levi. Yahweh, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, just as he said to them.
