Joshua 18
1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel were assembled at Selo, and there they pitched the tabernacle of witness; and the land was subdued by 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 And the sons of Israel remained, [even] those who [had] not received their inheritance, seven tribes.
以色列人中其餘的七個支派還沒有分給他們地業。
3 And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, How long will you be slack to inherit the land, which the Lord our God 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 Appoint of yourselves three men of each tribe, and let them rise up and go through the land, and let them describe it before me, as it will be proper to divide it.
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 they came to him: and he divided to them seven portions, [saying], Juda shall stand to them a border southward, and the sons of Joseph shall stand to them northward.
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 do you divide the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, and I will give you a lot before 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 sons of Levi have no part amongst you; for the priesthood of the Lord [is] his portion; and Gad, and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasse, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave to them.
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 And the men rose up and went; and Joshua charged the men who went to explore the land, saying, Go and explore the land, and come to me, and I will bring you forth a lot here before the Lord in Selo.
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 And they went, and explored the land: and they viewed it, and described it according to the cities, seven parts in a book, and brought [the book] to Joshua.
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 cast the lot for them in Selo before the Lord.
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 lot of the tribe of Benjamin came forth first according to their families: and the borders of their lot came forth between the children of Juda 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 borders were northward: the borders shall go up from Jordan behind Jericho northward, and shall go up to the mountain westward, and the issue of it shall be Baethon of Mabdara.
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 the borders will go forth thence to Luz, behind Luz, from the south of it; this is Baethel: and the borders shall go down to Maatarob Orech, to the hill country, which is southward of Baethoron 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 borders shall pass through and proceed to the part that looks towards the sea, on the south, from the mountain in front of Baethoron southward, and its termination shall be at Cariath-Baal, this is Cariath-Jarin, a city of the children of Juda; this is the part towards the west.
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 side on the part of Cariath-Baal; and the borders shall go across to Gasin, to the fountain of the water of Naphtho.
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 borders shall extend down on one side, this is in front of the forest of Sonnam, which is on the side of Emec Raphain northward, and it shall come down to Gaeenna behind Jebusai southward: it shall come down to the fountain of 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 [the borders] shall go across to the fountain of Baethsamys:
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 shall proceed to Galiloth, which is in front by the going up of Aethamin; and they shall come down to the stone of Baeon of the sons of Ruben; and shall pass over behind Baetharaba northward, and shall go down to the borders behind the sea northward.
又接連到亞拉巴對面，往北下到亞拉巴；
19 And the termination of the borders shall be at the creek of the salt sea northward to the side of Jordan southward: these are their southern borders.
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 Jordan shall be their boundary on the east: this [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, these [are] their borders round about according to their families.
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 cities of the children of Benjamin according to their families [were] Jericho, and Bethagaeo, and the Amecasis,
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 Baethabara, and Sara, and Besana,
伯‧亞拉巴、洗瑪臉、伯特利、
23 and Aeein, and Phara, and Ephratha,
亞文、巴拉、俄弗拉、
24 and Carapha, and Cephira, and Moni, and Gabaa, twelve cities and their villages:
基法‧阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴，共十二座城，還有屬城的村莊；
25 Gabaon, and Rama, and Beerotha;
又有基遍、拉瑪、比錄、
26 and Massema, and Miron, and Amoke;
米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、
27 and Phira, and Caphan, and Nacan, and Selecan, and Thareela,
利堅、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、
28 and Jebus (this is Jerusalem); and Gabaoth, Jarim, thirteen cities, and their villages; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to 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。
