Josua 18
1 Og al Israels Børns Menighed samledes i Silo og satte der Forsamlingens Paulun, og Landet var dem underlagt.
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up there the tabernacle of the congregation. And the land was subdued before them.
2 Og der var endnu syv Stammer tilovers af Israels Børn, som ikke havde delt deres Arv.
And there remained among the children of Israel, that had not yet received their inheritance, seven tribes.
3 Og Josva sagde til Israels Børn: Hvor længe ere I saa efterladne med at komme til at eje Landet, som Herren, eders Fædres Gud, har givet eder?
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long will ye show yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land, which the Lord the God of your fathers hath given to you!
4 Vælger eder tre Mænd for hver Stamme, saa vil jeg udsende dem, at de kunne gøre sig rede og gaa igennem Landet og beskrive det for at kunne bestemme deres Arv, og de skulle komme til mig igen.
Furnish for yourselves three men for each tribe; and I will send them out, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come again to me.
5 Og de skulle dele det i syv Dele; Juda skal blive i sit Landemærke mod Sønden; og Josefs Hus, de skulle blive i deres Landemærke mod Norden.
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall remain on his boundary at the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain on their boundary at the north.
6 Men I skulle beskrive Landet og dele det i syv Dele og føre Beskrivelsen herhid til mig; saa vil jeg her kaste Lod for eder, for Herrens vor Guds Ansigt.
But you shall make a description of the land in seven parts, and bring it hither to me; and I will cast the lot for you here, before the Lord our God.
7 Thi Leviterne have ingen Del midt iblandt eder, men Herrens Præstedømme er deres Arv; og Gad og Ruben og den halve Manasse Stamme have taget deres Arv paa hin Side Jordanen mod Østen, som Mose, Herrens Tjener, gav dem.
For to the Levites there is no portion among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance; and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Menasseh have already received their inheritance beyond the Jordan, at the east, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.
8 Da gjorde Mændene sig rede og gik; og Josva befalede dem, som gik hen at beskrive Landet, og sagde: Gaar og vandrer om i Landet og beskriver det og kommer tilbage til mig, saa vil jeg her kaste Lod for eder, for Herrens Ansigt, i Silo.
And the men arose, and went away; and Joshua charged those that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and return again to me; and here will I cast the lot for you before the Lord, in Shiloh.
9 Saa gik Mændene hen og gik igennem Landet og beskreve det i en Bog efter Stæderne og delte det i syv Dele; og de kom tilbage til Josva til Lejren i Silo.
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it according to the cities in seven parts in a book; and they came again to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
10 Saa kastede Josva Lod for dem i Silo, for Herrens Ansigt; og Josva delte der Landet for Israels Børn, efter deres Afdelinger.
And Joshua cast the lot for them in Shiloh before the Lord; and Joshua divided there the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 Og Benjamins Børns Stammes Lod kom ud efter deres Slægter, og Landemærket for deres Lod gik ud imellem Judas Børn og imellem Josefs Børn.
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families; and the boundary of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 Og deres Landemærke paa den nordre Side var fra Jordanen; Landemærket gaar op til Nordsiden af Jeriko og gaar op til Bjerget imod Vesten, og Udgangene derpaa vare mod Ørken ved Beth-Aven.
And their boundary was on the north side [starting] from the Jordan; and the boundary went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; and its terminations were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 Og Landemærket gaar derfra over til Lus, til den søndre Side af Lus, det er Bethel; og Landemærket gaar ned til Atharoth-Addar over Bjerget, som ligger Sønden for det nedre Beth-Horon.
And the boundary went over from there toward Luz, to the south side of Luz, which is Beth-el; and the boundary descended to 'Atroth-addar, upon the mount that is on the south side of the lower Beth-choron.
14 Og Landemærket gaar videre og bøjer sig om den venstre Side mod Sønden, fra Bjerget, som ligger tværs over for Beth-Horon mod Sønden, og Udgangen derpaa er til Kirjath-Baal, det er Kirjath-Jearim, Judas Børns Stad; dette er den vestre Side.
And the border extended [thence], and fetched a compass to the west side, to the south of the mount that is before Beth-choron at the south; and its terminations were at Kiryath-ba'al, which is Kiryath-ye'arim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west side.
15 Men Sydsiden er fra det yderste af Kirjath-Jearim; og Landemærket gaar ud fra Vesten, og det gaar ud til Nefthoas Vandkilde.
And the south side commenced from the end of Kiryath-ye'arim, and the boundary went out on the west, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoach:
16 Og Landemærket gaar ned til Enden af Bjerget, som ligger tværs over for Hinnoms Søns Dal, og som er i Refaims Dal mod Norden; og det gaar ned til Hinnoms Dal, mod den søndre Side af Jebus, og gaar ned til En-Rogel.
And the boundary went down to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of Rephaim at the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusi on the south, and descended to 'Enrogel,
17 Og det bøjer sig fra Norden og gaar ud til En-Semes og gaar ud til Geliloth, som ligger tværs over for Opgangen til Adummim, og gaar ned til Bohans, Rubens Søns, Sten.
And extended northwardly, and went forth to 'En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, and descended to Eben-bohan the son of Reuben,
18 Og det gaar om til Siden tværs over for Araba, mod Norden; og det gaar ned til Araba.
And passed along on this side opposite to 'Arabah northward; and went down unto 'Arabah;
19 Og Landemærket gaar om til Nordsiden af Beth-Hogla, og Landemærkets Udgang er ved den nordlige Odde af Salthavet, ved Jordanens Udløb mod Sønden; dette er det søndre Landemærke.
And the boundary passed along to the side of Beth-choglah northward; and the terminations of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea at the south end of the Jordan: this was the south boundary.
20 Men Jordanen sætter Grænse derfor mod den østre Side; dette er Benjamins Børns Arv i deres Landemærker rundt omkring efter deres Slægter.
And the Jordan bounded it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its boundaries round about, according to their families.
21 Og Benjamins Børns Stammes Stæder efter deres Slægter, vare: Jeriko og Beth-Hogla og Emek-Keziz
Now these were the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families, Jericho, and Beth-choglah, and 'Emekkeziz,
22 og Beth-Araba og Zemarajim og Bethel
And Beth-ha'arabah, and Zemarayim, and Beth-el,
23 og Avim og Para og Ofra
And Avvim, and Parah, and 'Ophrah,
24 og Kefar-Ammonai og Ofnai og Geba; tolv Stæder og deres Landsbyer.
And Kephar-ha'ammonah, and 'Ophni, and Geba': twelve cities with their villages.
25 Gibeon og Rama og Beeroth
Gib'on, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 og Mizpe og Kefira og Moza
And Mizpeh, and Kephirah, and Mozah,
27 og Rekem og Jirpeel og Tharala
And Rekem, and Yirpeel, and Taralah,
28 og Zela, Elef og Jebusi, det er Jerusalem, Gibeath, Kirjath; fjorten Stæder og deres Landsbyer; dette er Benjamins Børns Arv, efter deres Slægter.
And Zela', Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gib'ath, and Kiryath: fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
