يَشُوع 18

١ 1 وَبَعْدَ أَنْ تَمَّ اسْتِيلاءُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ اجْتَمَعُوا فِي شِيلُوهَ، حَيْثُ نَصَبُوا خَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ.

And the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there, and the land was subdued before them.

٢ 2 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ سَبْعةُ أَسْبَاطٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَتَسَلَّمُوا بَعْدُ نَصِيبَهُمْ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ.

And seven tribes remained among the sons of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ يَشُوعُ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ: «حَتَّى مَتَى أَنْتُمْ مُتَقَاعِسُونَ عَنِ الشُّرُوعِ فِي امْتِلاكِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَهَبَهَا لَكُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ؟

And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has given you?

٤ 4 انْتَخِبُوا ثَلاثَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ، فَأُرْسِلَهُمْ لاِسْتِكْشَافِ الأَرْضِ وَتَخْطِيطِهَا بِمُوْجِبِ أَنْصِبَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ.

Appoint for you three men of each tribe. And I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and they shall come to me.

٥ 5 وَلْيَقْسِمُوهَا إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَقْسَامٍ، فَيَمْكُثَ سِبْطُ يَهُوذَا ضِمْنَ حُدُودِهِ مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَيُقِيمَ بَيْتُ يُوسُفَ فِي مَنَاطِقِهِمِ الْمُعَيَّنَةِ شِمَالاً.

And they shall divide it into seven portions: Judah shall abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their border on the north.

٦ 6 أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتُخَطِّطُونَ الأَرْضَ وَتَقْسِمُونَهَا إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَقْسَامٍ وَتُسَجِّلُونَهَا، ثُمَّ تَأْتُونَ إِلَيَّ فَأُلْقِي بَيْنَكُمُ الْقُرْعَةَ هَهُنَا أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا.

And ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring it here to me. And I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God.

٧ 7 لأَنَّهُ لَنْ يَرِثَ اللّاوِيُّونَ نَصِيباً مَعَكُمْ إِذْ إِنَّ كَهَنُوتَ الرَّبِّ هُوَ نَصِيبُهُمْ. أَمَّا سِبْطَا جَادٍ وَرَأُوَبَيْنَ وَنِصْفُ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى فَقَدْ تَسَلَّمُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ، الَّذِي وَهَبَهُ لَهُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ».

For the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance, and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.

٨ 8 فَانْطَلَقَ الرِّجَالُ لاِسْتِكْشَافِ الأَرْضِ وَتَخْطِيطِهَا وَتَسْجِيلِهَا عَمَلاً بِوَصِيَّةِ يَشُوعَ، ثُمَّ الْعَوْدَةِ إِلَيْهِ لِيُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهَا الْقُرْعَةَ فِي مَحْضَرِ الرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ.

And the men arose, and went. And Joshua charged those who went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me. And I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.

٩ 9 فَسَارَ الرِّجَالُ وَتَجَوَّلُوا فِي الأَرْضِ وَخَطَّطُوهَا وَسَجَّلُوهَا فِي كِتَابٍ حَسَبَ مَا فِيهَا مِنْ مُدُنٍ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَسَمُوهَا إِلَى سَبْعَةِ أَقْسَامٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءُوا إِلَى يَشُوعَ إِلَى الْمُخَيَّمِ فِي شِيلُوهَ.

And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions in a book. And they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

١٠ 10 فَأَلْقَى يَشُوعُ بَيْنَهُمُ الْقُرْعَةَ فِي شِيلُوهَ فِي مَحْضَرِ الرَّبِّ، حَيْثُ قَسَمَ الأَرْضَ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفْقاً لأَسْبَاطِهِمْ.

And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah. And there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.

١١ 11 وَهَذَا هُوَ مِيرَاثُ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. وَقَعَ نَصِيبُهُمْ بَيْنَ مِيرَاثِ سِبْطَيْ يَهُوذَا وَيُوسُفَ.

And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the border of their lot went out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

١٢ 12 فَامْتَدَّتْ حُدُودُهُمْ شِمَالاً مِنَ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَاسْتَمَرَّتْ صَاعِدَةً بِإِزَاءِ أَرِيحَا شِمَالاً بِاتِّجَاهِ الْجَبَلِ غَرْباً حَتَّى صَحْرَاءِ بَيْتِ آوِنَ.

And their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill-country westward. And the goings out of it were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.

١٣ 13 وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ سَارَتْ إِلَى جَانِبِ لُوزَ الْجَنُوبِيِّ، الَّتِي هِيَ بَيْتُ إِيلَ. ثُمَّ انْحَدَرَتِ الْحُدُودُ إِلَى عَطَارُوتَ إِدَّارَ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ الْقَائِمِ إِلَى جَنُوبِيِّ بَيْتِ حُورُونَ السُّفْلَى.

And the border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Bethel), southward, and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth-horon the nether.

١٤ 14 وَامْتَدَّ التُّخْمُ مُلْتَفّاً نَاحِيَةَ الْغَرْبِ إِلَى جَنُوبِيِّ الْجَبَلِ الْمُقَابِلِ لِبَيْتِ حُورُونَ وَانْتِهَاءً بِقَرْيَةِ بَعْلٍ، الَّتِي هِيَ قَرْيَةُ يَعَارِيمَ، الْمَدِينَةُ التَّابِعَةُ لِيَهُوذَا. هَذِهِ هِيَ الْحُدُودُ الْغَرْبِيَّةُ.

And the border extended, and turned around on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before Beth-horon southward. And the goings out of it were at Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west quarter.

١٥ 15 أَمَّا الْحُدُودُ الْجَنُوبِيَّةُ فَتَبْدَأُ مِنْ أَقْصَى قَرْيَةِ يَعَارِيمَ بِاتِّجَاهِ الْغَرْبِ حَتَّى تَصِلَ إِلَى مَنْبَعِ مِيَاهِ نَفْتُوحَ.

And the south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah,

١٦ 16 ثُمَّ تَنْحَدِرُ حَتَّى سَفْحِ الْجَبَلِ الْمُطِلِّ عَلَى وَادِي ابْنِ هِنُّومَ، الْوَاقِعِ شِمَالِيَّ وَادِي الرَّفَائِيِّينَ مُخْتَرِقَةً وَادِي هِنُّومَ مُرُوراً بِجَنُوبِيِّ مَدِينَةِ أُورُشَلِيمَ (حَيْثُ يَسْكُنُ الْيَبُوسِيُّونَ) إِلَى أَنْ تَصِلَ إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ.

and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward, and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel,

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ تَمْتَدُّ شِمَالاً إِلَى عَيْنِ شَمْسٍ فَجَلِيلُوتَ مُقَابِلَ عَقَبَةِ أَدُمِّيمَ نُزُولاً إِلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

and it extended northward, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,

١٨ 18 حَيْثُ تَمُرُّ بِالسَّهْلِ الشِّمَالِيِّ لِبَيْتِ عَرَبَةَ، ثُمَّ تَنْحَدِرُ نَحْوَ الْعَرَبَةِ،

and it passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah,

١٩ 19 وَتَتَّجِهُ شِمَالاً إِلَى بَيْتِ حُجْلَةَ وَتَنْتَهِي عِنْدَ اللِّسَانِ الشِّمَالِيِّ لِلْبَحْرِ الْمَيِّتِ حَيْثُ يَصُبُّ نَهْرُ الأُرْدُنِّ. هَذِهِ هِيَ الْحُدُودُ الْجَنُوبِيَّةُ.

and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward. And the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.

٢٠ 20 أَمَّا الْحَدُّ الشَّرْقِيُّ فَكَانَ نَهْرَ الأُرْدُنِّ. هَذِهِ هِيَ أَرْضُ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ.

And the Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the borders of it round about, according to their families.

٢١ 21 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ مُدُنُ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: أَرِيحَا وَبَيْتُ حُجْلَةَ وَوَادِي قَصِيصَ،

Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz,

٢٢ 22 وَبَيْتُ الْعَرَبَةِ وَصَمَارَايِمُ وَبَيْتُ إِيلَ،

and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

٢٣ 23 وَالْعَوِّيمُ وَالْفَارَةُ وَعَفْرَةُ،

and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

٢٤ 24 وَكَفْرُ الْعَمُّونِيِّ وَالْعُفْنِي وَجَبَعُ، وَهِيَ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ ضِيَاعِهَا.

and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.

٢٥ 25 وَأَيْضاً جِبْعُونُ وَالرَّامَةُ وَبَئِيرُوتُ،

٢٨ 28 وَصَيْلَعُ وَآلَفُ وَالْيَبُوسِيُّ الَّتِي هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ وَجِبْعَةُ وَقِرْيَةُ. وَهِيَ فِي جُمْلَتِهَا أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ مَدِينَةً مَعَ ضِيَاعِهَا. هَذَا هُوَ مِيرَاثُ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.
