Jošua 18
1 Sabrala se zajednica sinova Izraelovih u Šilo, i ondje razapeše Šator sastanka. Sva im se zemlja pokorila.
And all the children of Israel assembled together in Silo, and there they set up the tabernacle of the testimony, and the land was subdued before them.
2 Ali ostade među sinovima Izraelovim još sedam plemena koja nisu primila svoje baštine.
But there remained seven tribes of the children of Israel, which as yet had not received their possessions.
3 Tada im reče Jošua: “Dokle ćete oklijevati da pođete i zaposjednete zemlju koju vam je dao Jahve, Bog vaših otaca?
And Josue said to them: How long are you indolent and slack, and go not in to possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given you?
4 Izaberite po tri čovjeka iz svakoga plemena, a ja ću ih poslati da popišu svu zemlju za diobu. Kad se vrate k meni,
Choose of every tribe three men, that I may send them, and they may go and compass the land, and mark it out according to the number of each multitude: and bring back to me what they have marked out.
5 razdijelit ću zemlju na sedam dijelova. Neka Juda ostane na svome području na jugu, a Josipov dom neka ostane u svome kraju na sjeveru.
Divide to yourselves the land into seven parts: let Juda be in his bounds on the south side, and the house of Joseph on the north.
6 A vi raspišite zemlju na sedam dijelova i donesite mi amo da bacim ždrijeb za vas ovdje pred Jahvom, Bogom našim.
The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God.
7 Leviti neće imati dijela među vama jer je svećeništvo Jahvino njihova baština; a Gad, Ruben i polovina plemena Manašeova primili su svoju baštinu na istočnoj strani Jordana - onu koju im je dao Mojsije, sluga Jahvin.”
For the Levites have no part among you, but the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasses have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan eastward: which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.
8 Spreme se ti ljudi na put, a Jošua zapovjedi onima koji su pošli popisati zemlju: “Idite i obiđite svu zemlju i opišite je, pa se onda vratite k meni da bacim ždrijeb ovdje pred Jahvom u Šilu.”
And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them, saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo.
9 Odoše oni ljudi, prođoše zemljom i u knjigu popisaše sve gradove u sedam dijelova, pa se vratiše k Jošui u tabor u Šilu.
So they went: and surveying it divided it into seven parts, writing them down in a book. And they returned to Josue, to the camp in Silo.
10 A Jošua baci za njih ždrijeb u Šilu pred Jahvom i ondje razdijeli Jošua zemlju sinovima Izraelovim po njihovim dijelovima plemenskim.
And he cast lots before the Lord in Silo, and divided the land to the children of Israel into seven parts.
11 I pade ždrijeb na pleme sinova Benjaminovih po njihovim porodicama: utvrdi se da je njihov dio između dijela sinova Judinih i sinova Josipovih.
And first came up the lot of the children of Benjamin by their families, to possess the land between the children of Juda, and the children of Joseph.
12 Sjeverna im se međa protezala od Jordana te išla uza sjeverni obronak Jerihona, uspinjala se sa zapada na goru i završavala se u pustinji Bet-Avenu.
And their border northward was from the Jordan: going along by the side of Jericho on the north side, and thence going up westward to the mountains, and reaching to the wilderness of Bethaven,
13 Odatle je išla k Luzu, k južnom obronku Luza, to jest Betela; spuštala se zatim u Atrot-Adar, kraj brda koje je južno od Donjeg Bet-Horona.
And passing along southward by Luza, the same is Bethel: and it goeth down into Ataroth-addar to the mountain, that is on the south of the nether Beth-horon.
14 Međa se dalje savijala i okretala sa zapada prema jugu, od gore koja se diže nasuprot Bet-Horonu s juga, i svršavala se kod Kirjat Baala, danas Kirjat Jearima, grada sinova Judinih. To je zapadna strana.
And it bendeth thence going round towards the sea, south of the mountain that looketh towards Beth-horon to the southwest: and the outgoings thereof are into Cariathbaal, which is called also Cariathiarim, a city of the children of Juda. This is their coast towards the sea, westward.
15 Južna se strana počinjala od granice Kirjat Jearima, pa se pružala na zapad k vrelu Neftoahu;
But on the south side the border goeth out from part of Cariathiarim towards the sea, and cometh to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoa.
16 potom se spuštala međa do kraja gore koja je prema dolini Ben-Hinomu, na sjeveru refaimske nizine, silazila zatim u dolinu Hinom uz Jebusejski obronak i dosegla do izvora Rogela.
And it goeth down to that part of the mountain that looketh on the valley of the children of Ennom: and is over against the north quarter in the furthermost part of the valley of Raphaim, and it goeth down into Geennom (that is the valley of Ennom) by the side of the Jebusite to the south: and cometh to the fountain of Rogel,
17 Zatim se savijala od sjevera te izlazila na En-Šemeš i doticala Gelilot, koji se diže prema Adumimskom usponu, i silazila na Kamen Bohana, sina Rubenova.
Passing thence to the north, and going out to Ensemes, that is to say, the fountain of the sue:
18 Prolazila je zatim obronkom sa sjeverne strane prema Bet-Haarabi i silazila do Arabe.
And it passeth along to the hills that are over against the ascent of Adommim: and it goeth down to Abenboen, that is, the stone of Been the son of Ruben: and it passeth on the north side to the champaign countries; and goeth down into the plain,
19 Dalje je tekla međa uz obronak Bet-Hogle prema sjeveru i svršavala se na sjevernom Jeziku Slanog mora, do južnog kraja Jordana. To je južna međa.
And it passeth by Bethhagla northward: and the outgoings thereof are towards the north of the most salt sea at the south end of the Jordan:
20 Jordan je pak bio međa s istočne strane. To je baština sinova Benjaminovih, s njihovim međama unaokolo po porodicama njihovim.
Which is the border of it on the east side. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their borders round about, and their families.
21 Gradovi plemena sinova Benjaminovih po porodicama njihovim jesu: Jerihon, Bet-Hogla, Emek Kesis;
And their cities were, Jericho and Bethhagla and Vale-Casis,
22 Bet-Haaraba, Samarajim, Betel;
Betharaba and Samaraim and Bethel,
23 Avim, Para, Ofra;
And Avim and Aphara and Ophera,
24 Kefar Haamona, Ofni i Gaba: dvanaest gradova s njihovim selima.
The town Emona and Ophni and Gabee: twelve cities, and their villages.
25 Gibeon, Rama, Beerot;
Gabam and Rama and Beroth,
26 Mispe, Kefira i Mosa;
And Mesphe, and Caphara, and Amosa,
27 Rekem, Jirpeel, Tarala;
And Recem, Jarephel and Tharela,
28 Sela Haelef, Jebus (to je Jeruzalem), Gibat i Kirjat: četrnaest gradova s njihovim selima. To je baština sinova Benjaminovih po porodicama njihovim.
And Sela, Eleph and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gabaath and Cariath: fourteen cities, and their villages. This is the possession of the children of Benjamin by their families.
