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 the whole assembly of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.
2 以色列子民中，還有七個支派沒有分到產業。
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not been distributed to them.
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 the children of Israel, How long will ye shew yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers hath given 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。
Provide you three men for a tribe; that I may send them, and they shall rise and go through the land, and describe it according to the proportion of their inheritance, and they shall come to me.
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。
And they shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their border on 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。
and ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring [the description] hither to me, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our 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 the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave 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 the men arose and went away. And Joshua charged them that 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.
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 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.
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 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah. And there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
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 lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. And the territory of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children 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 on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up to the mountain westward; and ended at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;
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 the border passed on from thence toward Luz, to the south side of Luz, which is Bethel: and the border went down to Ataroth-Addar, near the hill that is on the south of the 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 the border reached along and turned on the west side, southward from the hill that is before Beth-horon southward; and ended at Kirjath-Baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this is the west side.
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；
— And the south side was from the extreme end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the spring 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 the border went down to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim on the north, and went down the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south, and went down to En-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；
and it reached along on the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth towards Geliloth, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, and went down to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben,
18 由此經貝特阿辣巴對面山腰的北部，直下到阿辣巴，
and passed along towards the side opposite to Arabah northwards, and went down to Arabah;
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 the border passed on to the side of Beth-hoglah on the north, and the border ended at the tongue of the salt sea northward, at the south end of the Jordan: this is the southern border.
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。
— And the Jordan borders it on the east side. — This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its borders round about, according to 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 the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-Keziz,
22 背叛貝特阿辣巴、責瑪辣因、貝特耳、
and Beth-Arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23 阿威、帕辣、敖斐辣、
