約書亞記 18
1 這地方即然已被征服，以色列子民的全會眾就都聚集到史羅，在那裏整起了會慕。
And all the sons of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and there they stationed the Tabernacle of the Testimony. And the land was subjected to them.
2 以色列子民中，還有七個支派沒有分到產業。
But there remained seven tribes of the sons of Israel which had not yet received their possessions.
3 若蘇厄對以色列子民說：「你們遲遲不去，承受上主你們祖先的天主賜與你們的土地，要到時候呢﹖
And Joshua said to them: “For how long will you draw back in idleness, and not enter to possess the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you?
4 你們應由每反派推選三人，我好派他們去走遍全境，按照各支派應得的產業，畫成圖樣，然後回來見我。
Select three men from each tribe, so that I may send them, and they may go forth and circle through the land, and may describe it according to the number of each multitude, and may bring back to me what they have written down.
5 他們應將那地分成七份，猶大保有自己在南方的土地，若瑟家族保有自己在北方的土地。
Divide the land for yourselves into seven parts. Let Judah be its bounds on the southern side, and the house of Joseph to the north.
6 你們應將那地畫成七份，把圖樣帶來見我，使我好在這裏，於上主我們的天主面前，為你們抽籤。
The land that is in the middle, between these, write it down in seven parts. And you shall come to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord your God.
7 肋未人在你們中間不應有產業，因為上主司祭的品位，就是他們的產業。至於加得、勒烏本和默納協和默納協半個支派，在約旦河東岸已分得了產業，那是上主的僕人梅瑟分給他們的。」
But there is no portion among you for the Levites. Instead, the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan in the eastern region, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them.”
8 這些人準備出發時，若蘇厄吩咐這些去繪圖的人說：「你們去走遍這地，畫成圖樣，然後回來見我，我要在史羅在上主面前為你們抽籤。」
And when the men had risen up, so that they might go out to describe the land, Joshua instructed them, saying, “Circle through the land, and describe it, and return to me, so that I may cast lots for you about this, before the Lord, in Shiloh.”
9 這些人就去走遍全境，將所有城市分成七分，寫在書冊上，回到史羅營中呈給若蘇厄。
And so they went out. And surveying it, they divided it into seven parts, writing it in a book. And they returned to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.
10 若蘇厄便在史羅於上主面前，為他們抽籤，在那裏按照他們的分法，將地畫分給了以色列子民。
And he cast lots before the Lord, at Shiloh, and he divided the land to the sons of Israel, in seven parts.
11 本雅明支派安他們的家族，抽籤分得的產業，是在猶大子孫和若瑟子孫中間。
And the first lot went to the sons of Benjamin, by their families, so that they would possess the land between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12 北邊邊界起自約旦河，沿耶利哥北邊的山坡往上，至西面山地，直達貝特阿文曠野；
And their border toward the north was from the Jordan, continuing on, near the side of Jericho in the northern region, and from there, ascending toward the west to the mountains, and extending to the wilderness of Bethaven.
13 再由此經路次，沿路即貝特耳南山坡下，下至阿塔洛特阿達爾，與在下貝特曷龍南部的山相接，
And it continues to the south beside Luz, which is Bethel. And it descends into Ataroth-addar, at the mountain which is to the south of lower Beth-horon.
14 西邊的邊界由此轉彎，折向南方，由貝特曷龍對面的山向南折，直到猶大人的克黎雅特巴爾，即克黎雅特耶阿陵城：這是西界。
And it turns aside, circling toward the sea, to the south of the mountain which looks out toward Beth-horon, toward the southwest. And its exits are toward Kiriath-baal, which is also called Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah. This is their region, toward the sea, in the west.
15 南界是從克黎雅特耶阿陵的邊界起，向加斤伸展，直到乃費托亞水泉；
But to the south, the border goes on from the part of Kiriath-jearim toward the sea, and it continues as far as the Fountain of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 由此往下直到位於勒法因不原北部，本希農山谷對面的山角；然後往下，經希農山谷，下至耶步斯人山腰南部，直到洛革耳泉；
And it descends to that part of the mountain which looks out toward the Valley of the sons of Hinnom. And it is opposite the northern region, in the furthest part of the Valley of the Rephaim. And it descends into Geennom, (that is, the Valley of Hinnom, ) near the side of the Jebusite toward the south. And it extends to the Fountain of Rogel,
17 由此轉北，出舍默士水泉，直至阿杜明山坡對面的革里羅特，再下至勒烏本人波罕的盤石；
crossing from there to the north, and going out to En-Shemesh, that is, to the Fountain of the Sun.
18 由此經貝特阿辣巴對面山腰的北部，直下到阿辣巴，
And it passes through to the hills that are opposite the region of the Ascent of Adummim. And it descends to Abenboen, that is, so the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben. And it continues on, at the northern side, to the plains. And it descends into the flatlands.
19 再經貝特曷拉山脊向北，止於鹽海北端，約旦河南口，：這是南界。
And it advances before Beth-hoglah, to the north. And its exits are to the north, opposite the bay of the very salty sea, in the southern region at the end of the Jordan,
20 東邊以約旦河為界以上是本雅明子孫，按照家族，分得土地的四面邊界。
which is its border to the east. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, with their borders all around, and by their families.
21 本雅明支派子孫按照家族，分得的城市：有耶利哥、貝特曷革拉、厄默各刻漆茲、
And their cities were: Jericho and Beth-hoglah and the Abrupt Valley,
22 背叛貝特阿辣巴、責瑪辣因、貝特耳、
Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Bethel,
23 阿威、帕辣、敖斐辣、
and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah,
24 革法爾阿摩尼、敖弗尼和革巴：共計十二座城和所屬村鎮。
the town of Ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba: twelve cities, and their villages;
25 基貝紅、辣瑪、貝洛特、
Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth,
26 米茲培、革非辣摩匝勒、
and Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah,
27 耿依爾耳、塔辣拉、
and Rekem, Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 責拉、厄肋夫、耶步斯即耶路撒冷、基貝亞和克黎雅特耶阿陵：共計十四座城和所屬村鎮：以上是本雅明子孫，按照家族分得的產業。
and Zela, Haeleph, and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gibeah and Kiriath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families.
