< 约书亚记 18 >

1 以色列的全会众都聚集在示罗,把会幕设立在那里,那地已经被他们制伏了。
And all the company of the sons of Israel are assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the tent of meeting to tabernacle there, and the land hath been subdued before them.
2 以色列人中其余的七个支派还没有分给他们地业。
And there are left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance, seven tribes,
3 约书亚对以色列人说:“耶和华—你们列祖的 神所赐给你们的地,你们耽延不去得,要到几时呢?
and Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Till when are ye remiss to go in to possess the land which He hath given to you, Jehovah, God of your fathers?
4 你们每支派当选举三个人,我要打发他们去,他们就要起身走遍那地,按着各支派应得的地业写明,就回到我这里来。
Give for you three men for a tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come in unto me,
5 他们要将地分做七分;犹大仍在南方,住在他的境内。约瑟家仍在北方,住在他的境内。
and they have divided it into seven portions — Judah doth stay by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph do stay by their border on the north —
6 你们要将地分做七分,写明了拿到我这里来。我要在耶和华—我们 神面前,为你们拈阄。
and ye describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] in unto me hither, and I have cast for you a lot here before Jehovah our God;
7 利未人在你们中间没有分,因为供耶和华祭司的职任就是他们的产业。迦得支派、吕便支派,和玛拿西半支派已经在约旦河东得了地业,就是耶和华仆人摩西所给他们的。”
for there is no portion to the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of Jehovah [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses servant of Jehovah gave to them.'
8 划地势的人起身去的时候,约书亚嘱咐他们说:“你们去走遍那地,划明地势,就回到我这里来。我要在示罗这里,耶和华面前,为你们拈阄。”
And the men rise and go; and Joshua commandeth those who are going to describe the land, saying, 'Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and turn back unto me, and here I cast for you a lot before Jehovah in Shiloh.'
9 他们就去了,走遍那地,按着城邑分做七分,写在册子上,回到示罗营中见约书亚。
And the men go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a book, and they come in unto Joshua, unto the camp, [at] Shiloh.
10 约书亚就在示罗,耶和华面前,为他们拈阄。约书亚在那里,按着以色列人的支派,将地分给他们。
And Joshua casteth for them a lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, and there Joshua apportioneth the land to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions.
11 便雅悯支派,按着宗族拈阄所得之地,是在犹大、约瑟子孙中间。
And a lot goeth up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goeth out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
12 他们的北界是从约旦河起,往上贴近耶利哥的北边;又往西通过山地,直到伯·亚文的旷野;
And the border is to them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border hath gone up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;
13 从那里往南接连到路斯,贴近路斯(路斯就是伯特利),又下到亚他绿·亚达,靠近下伯·和 南边的山;
and the border hath gone over thence to Luz, unto the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border hath gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;
14 从那里往西,又转向南,从伯·和 南对面的山,直达到犹大人的城基列·巴力(基列·巴力就是基列·耶琳);这是西界。
and the border hath been marked out, and hath gone round to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been unto Kirjath-Baal (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this [is] the west quarter.
15 南界是从基列·耶琳的尽边起,往西达到尼弗多亚的水源;
And the south quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border hath gone out westward, and gone out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;
16 又下到欣嫩子谷对面山的尽边,就是利乏音谷北边的山;又下到欣嫩谷,贴近耶布斯的南边;又下到隐·罗结;
and the border hath come down unto the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the valley of the son of Hinnom, which [is] in the valley of the Rephaim northward, and hath gone down the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel,
17 又往北通到隐·示麦,达到亚都冥坡对面的基利绿;又下到吕便之子波罕的磐石;
and hath been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out unto Geliloth, which [is] over-against the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
18 又接连到亚拉巴对面,往北下到亚拉巴;
and passed over unto the side over-against Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;
19 又接连到伯·曷拉的北边,直通到盐海的北汊,就是约旦河的南头;这是南界。
and the border hath passed over unto the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been unto the north bay of the salt sea, unto the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;
20 东界是约旦河。这是便雅悯人按着宗族,照他们四围的交界所得的地业。
and the Jordan doth border it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders round about, for their families.
21 便雅悯支派按着宗族所得的城邑就是:耶利哥、伯·曷拉、伊麦·基悉、
And the cities for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families, have been Jericho, and Beth-Hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
22 伯·亚拉巴、洗玛脸、伯特利、
and Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, and Beth-El,
23 亚文、巴拉、俄弗拉、
and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 基法·阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴,共十二座城,还有属城的村庄;
and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and their villages.
25 又有基遍、拉玛、比录、
Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、
and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 利坚、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、
and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯(耶布斯就是耶路撒冷)、基比亚、基列,共十四座城,还有属城的村庄。这是便雅悯人按着宗族所得的地业。
and Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi (it [is] Jerusalem), Gibeath, Kirjath: fourteen cities and their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, for their families.
