Joshua 18
1 And all the meeting of the children of Israel came together at Shiloh and put up the Tent of meeting there: and the land was crushed before them.
以色列的全會眾都聚集在示羅，把會幕設立在那裏，那地已經被他們制伏了。
2 But there were still seven tribes among the children of Israel who had not taken up their heritage.
以色列人中其餘的七個支派還沒有分給他們地業。
3 Then Joshua said to the children of Israel, Why are you so slow to go in and take up your heritage in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?
約書亞對以色列人說：「耶和華－你們列祖的上帝所賜給你們的地，你們耽延不去得，要到幾時呢？
4 Take from among you three men from every tribe; and I will send them to go through the land and make a record of it for distribution as their heritage; then let them come back to me.
你們每支派當選舉三個人，我要打發他們去，他們就要起身走遍那地，按着各支派應得的地業寫明，就回到我這裏來。
5 And let them make division of it into seven parts: let Judah keep inside his limit on the south, and let the children of Joseph keep inside their limit on the north.
他們要將地分做七分；猶大仍在南方，住在他的境內。約瑟家仍在北方，住在他的境內。
6 And you are to have the land marked out in seven parts, and come back to me with the record; and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord our God.
你們要將地分做七分，寫明了拿到我這裏來。我要在耶和華－我們上帝面前，為你們拈鬮。
7 For the Levites have no part among you; to be the Lord's priests is their heritage; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have had their heritage on the east side of Jordan, given to them by Moses, the servant of the Lord.
利未人在你們中間沒有分，因為供耶和華祭司的職任就是他們的產業。迦得支派、呂便支派，和瑪拿西半支派已經在約旦河東得了地業，就是耶和華僕人摩西所給他們的。」
8 So the men got up and went; and Joshua gave orders to those who went, to make a record of the land, saying, Go up and down through the land, and make a record of it and come back here to me, and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord in Shiloh.
劃地勢的人起身去的時候，約書亞囑咐他們說：「你們去走遍那地，劃明地勢，就回到我這裏來。我要在示羅這裏，耶和華面前，為你們拈鬮。」
9 So the men went, travelling through the land, and made a record of it by towns in seven parts in a book, and came back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Shiloh.
他們就去了，走遍那地，按着城邑分做七分，寫在冊子上，回到示羅營中見約書亞。
10 And Joshua made the distribution for them in Shiloh by the decision of the Lord, marking out the land for the children of Israel by their divisions.
約書亞就在示羅，耶和華面前，為他們拈鬮。約書亞在那裏，按着以色列人的支派，將地分給他們。
11 And the first heritage came out for the tribe of Benjamin by their families: and the limit of their heritage went between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
便雅憫支派，按着宗族拈鬮所得之地，是在猶大、約瑟子孫中間。
12 And their limit on the north was from the Jordan, and the line goes up to the side of Jericho on the north and through the hill-country to the west, ending at the waste land of Beth-aven.
他們的北界是從約旦河起，往上貼近耶利哥的北邊；又往西通過山地，直到伯‧亞文的曠野；
13 And from there the line goes south to Luz, to the side of Luz (which is Beth-el), then down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain to the south of Beth-horon the lower.
從那裏往南接連到路斯，貼近路斯（路斯就是伯特利），又下到亞他綠‧亞達，靠近下伯‧和崙南邊的山；
14 And the limit is marked as coming round to the south on the west side from the mountain which is south of Beth-horon, and ending at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), a town of the children of Judah: this is the west part.
從那裏往西，又轉向南，從伯‧和崙南對面的山，直達到猶大人的城基列‧巴力（基列‧巴力就是基列‧耶琳）；這是西界。
15 And the south part is from the farthest point of Kiriath-jearim, and the line goes out to the west to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah:
南界是從基列‧耶琳的儘邊起，往西達到尼弗多亞的水源；
16 And the line goes down to the farthest part of the mountain facing the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is on the north of the valley of Rephaim: from there it goes down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south as far as En-rogel;
又下到欣嫩子谷對面山的儘邊，就是利乏音谷北邊的山；又下到欣嫩谷，貼近耶布斯的南邊；又下到隱‧羅結；
17 And it goes to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, opposite the way up to Adummim, and it goes down to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;
又往北通到隱‧示麥，達到亞都冥坡對面的基利綠；又下到呂便之子波罕的磐石；
18 And it goes on to the side facing the Arabah to the north, and down to the Arabah;
又接連到亞拉巴對面，往北下到亞拉巴；
19 And on to the north side of Beth-hoglah, ending at the north inlet of the Salt Sea at the south end of Jordan; this is their limit on the south.
又接連到伯‧曷拉的北邊，直通到鹽海的北汊，就是約旦河的南頭；這是南界。
20 And the limit of the east part is the Jordan. This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin, marked out for their families by these limits on all sides.
東界是約旦河。這是便雅憫人按着宗族，照他們四圍的交界所得的地業。
21 And the towns of the children of Benjamin, given to them in the order of their families, are Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-kezziz
便雅憫支派按着宗族所得的城邑就是：耶利哥、伯‧曷拉、伊麥‧基悉、
22 And Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Beth-el
伯‧亞拉巴、洗瑪臉、伯特利、
23 And Avvim and Parah and Ophrah
亞文、巴拉、俄弗拉、
24 And Chephar-Ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve towns with their unwalled places;
基法‧阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴，共十二座城，還有屬城的村莊；
25 Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth
又有基遍、拉瑪、比錄、
26 And Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah
米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、
27 And Rekem and Irpeel and Taralah
利堅、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、
28 And Zela, Eleph and the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath and Kiriath; fourteen towns with their unwalled places. This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin by their families.
洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷）、基比亞、基列，共十四座城，還有屬城的村莊。這是便雅憫人按着宗族所得的地業。
