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.
Sabrala se zajednica sinova Izraelovih u Šilo, i ondje razapeše Šator sastanka. Sva im se zemlja pokorila.
2 But there were still seven tribes among the children of Israel who had not taken up their heritage.
Ali ostade među sinovima Izraelovim još sedam plemena koja nisu primila svoje baštine.
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?
Tada im reče Jošua: “Dokle ćete oklijevati da pođete i zaposjednete zemlju koju vam je dao Jahve, Bog vaših otaca?
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.
Izaberite po tri čovjeka iz svakoga plemena, a ja ću ih poslati da popišu svu zemlju za diobu. Kad se vrate k meni,
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.
razdijelit ću zemlju na sedam dijelova. Neka Juda ostane na svome području na jugu, a Josipov dom neka ostane u svome kraju na sjeveru.
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.
A vi raspišite zemlju na sedam dijelova i donesite mi amo da bacim ždrijeb za vas ovdje pred Jahvom, Bogom našim.
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
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.
Odoše oni ljudi, prođoše zemljom i u knjigu popisaše sve gradove u sedam dijelova, pa se vratiše k Jošui u tabor u Šilu.
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.
A Jošua baci za njih ždrijeb u Šilu pred Jahvom i ondje razdijeli Jošua zemlju sinovima Izraelovim po njihovim dijelovima plemenskim.
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.
I pade ždrijeb na pleme sinova Benjaminovih po njihovim porodicama: utvrdi se da je njihov dio između dijela sinova Judinih i sinova Josipovih.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
Južna se strana počinjala od granice Kirjat Jearima, pa se pružala na zapad k vrelu Neftoahu;
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;
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.
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;
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.
18 And it goes on to the side facing the Arabah to the north, and down to the Arabah;
Prolazila je zatim obronkom sa sjeverne strane prema Bet-Haarabi i silazila do Arabe.
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.
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.
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.
Jordan je pak bio međa s istočne strane. To je baština sinova Benjaminovih, s njihovim međama unaokolo po porodicama njihovim.
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
Gradovi plemena sinova Benjaminovih po porodicama njihovim jesu: Jerihon, Bet-Hogla, Emek Kesis;
22 And Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Beth-el
Bet-Haaraba, Samarajim, Betel;
23 And Avvim and Parah and Ophrah
Avim, Para, Ofra;
24 And Chephar-Ammoni and Ophni and Geba; twelve towns with their unwalled places;
Kefar Haamona, Ofni i Gaba: dvanaest gradova s njihovim selima.
25 Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth
Gibeon, Rama, Beerot;
26 And Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah
Mispe, Kefira i Mosa;
27 And Rekem and Irpeel and Taralah
Rekem, Jirpeel, Tarala;
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.
Sela Haelef, Jebus (to je Jeruzalem), Gibat i Kirjat: četrnaest gradova s njihovim selima. To je baština sinova Benjaminovih po porodicama njihovim.
