< 約書亞記 13 >
1 若蘇厄年紀已老,上主對他說:「你年紀已老,但還有廣大的地區應當佔領。
Now Joshua was old and well advanced in years. The LORD said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
2 還應佔領的地區:是培肋舍特人的整個地區,和革叔爾人的全境;
“This is the land that still remains: all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;
3 由埃及東方的史革爾人的全境,到北方的厄刻龍的邊界,這是屬客納罕人的區;那五個培肋舍特酋長所管轄的迦薩人、阿市多得人、阿市刻隆人、加特人和厄刻龍人地區,以南方的阿威人地區;
from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border of Ekron northward, which is counted as Canaanite; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim,
4 遇客納罕人的全境,即由漆東人的阿辣,直到阿費克,而直到阿摩黎人的邊界地區;
on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;
5 還有革巴耳人的地區,及東方的整個黎巴嫩區,由赫爾孟山麓巴耳加得,直到哈瑪特關口。
and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;
6 從黎巴嫩直到西方的米斯勒佛特瑪殷,所有住在山地的居民,所有的漆東人,我必從以色列民子面前,把他們趕走。你只管照我指示,將這地區抽籤分給以色列人作為產業。
all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians. I will drive them out from before the children of Israel. Just allocate it to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
7 現在你要這九地區分九支派和默納協半支派作為產業。」
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
8 默納協另半支派和勒烏本並加得二支派,已經得了梅瑟在約旦河東岸分給他們的產業;按上主的僕人梅瑟分給他們的產業,
With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them:
9 是從阿爾農谷旁的阿洛厄爾起,包括谷中的城邑,全默爾巴高原,直到狄朋;
from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;
10 還有在赫市朋為王的阿摩黎人王息紅所有的城市,直到阿孟子民的邊疆;
and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;
11 還有基肋阿得和革叔爾人與阿加人的領土,以及全赫爾孟山,全巴商,一直到撒耳加;
and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;
12 又巴商王敖格的全國領土,他原是勒法因人最後的遺族,在阿市塔洛特和厄德勒為王。這些地方的人,都被梅瑟擊敗趕走了。
all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (who was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses attacked these, and drove them out.
13 以色列子民郤沒有趕走革叔爾人和瑪阿加人,因此革叔爾和瑪阿加人直到? 直到現在仍住在以色列人中間。
Nevertheless the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites, nor the Maacathites: but Geshur and Maacath live within Israel to this day.
14 惟有肋未沒有分得產業,因為上主以色列的天主自己是他們的產業,有如上主對他們所說的。
Only he gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The offerings of the LORD, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.
15 梅瑟給勒烏本支派,按照他們的家族,分了一份產業。
Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families.
16 他們的地區,是從阿爾農谷旁的阿洛厄爾,包括中谷的城邑,直到默德巴整個高原。
Their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;
17 赫市朋和在這高原所有的城市:狄朋、巴摩特巴爾、貝特巴爾默紅、
Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19 刻黎雅塔因、息貝瑪、山中盆地的責勒特沙哈爾、
Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar in the mount of the valley,
Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,
21 高原上各城市,和在赫市朋為王的阿摩黎人王息紅的整個國土。梅瑟曾殺了 息紅和住在那個上的息紅藩屬,米德揚的酋長:厄威、勒狄、族爾、胡爾和勒巴。
all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.
22 以色列子民殺這些人時,也用刀殺了貝敖爾的兒子巴郎術士。
The children of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the soothsayer, with the sword, among the rest of their slain.
23 勒烏本子孫的地區以約旦河為界:以上是勒烏本子孫按照家族,分得作為產業的城市和所屬的村鎮。
The border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and its villages.
24 梅瑟按照他們的家族,給加得支派,給加得子孫,分得了一份產業。
Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad, according to their families.
25 他們的地區是雅則爾,基肋阿得所有的城邑和阿孟人的一半土地,直到勒巴對面的阿洛厄爾;
Their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is near Rabbah;
26 又從赫市朋直到勒瑪特米茲帕和貝特尼,從瑪哈納殷到羅德巴爾的邊境;
and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;
27 還有谷中盆地的貝特哈蘭、貝特尼默辣、穌苛特、匝豐、赫市朋王息紅國中的其餘土地;以約旦河為界,沿約旦河東岸直到基乃勒特海的頂端:
and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan’s bank, to the uttermost part of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.
28 以上是加得子孫按照家族,得作為產業的城市和所屬的村鎮。
This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according to their families, the cities and its villages.
29 梅瑟也給默納協半支派,給默納協半支派子孫,按照他們的家族,分了一份產業。
Moses gave an inheritance to the half-tribe of Manasseh. It was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families.
30 他們的地區是起自哈瑪納殷,包括全部巴商,即巴商王敖格的全部國土,巴商境內屬雅依爾的各村莊,共計六十村莊;
Their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Bashan, sixty cities.
31 還有基肋阿得的一半和家族和敖格在巴商的都城阿市塔洛特和厄德勒:以上地區按照家族,分給了默納協的兒子瑪基爾的子孫,即瑪基爾的一半子孫。
Half Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children of Machir according to their families.
32 以上是梅瑟在約旦河東岸,耶利哥面對摩阿布曠野裏,所劃分的產業。
These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.
33 至於肋未支派,梅瑟沒有給他們分配產業,因為上主以色列的天主自己是他們的產業,有如上主對他們所說的。
But Moses gave no inheritance to the tribe of Levi. The LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
