Joshua 18
1 And the whole assembly of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.
Og al Israels Børns Menighed samledes i Silo og satte der Forsamlingens Paulun, og Landet var dem underlagt.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not been distributed to them.
Og der var endnu syv Stammer tilovers af Israels Børn, som ikke havde delt deres Arv.
3 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long will ye shew yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers hath given you?
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?
4 Provide you three men for a tribe; that I may send them, and they shall rise and go through the land, and describe it according to the proportion of their inheritance, and they shall come to me.
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.
5 And they shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their border on the north;
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.
6 and ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring [the description] hither to me, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah our God.
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.
7 But the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.
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.
8 And the men arose and went away. And Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.
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.
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions, in a book, and they came to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.
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.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Jehovah. And there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Saa kastede Josva Lod for dem i Silo, for Herrens Ansigt; og Josva delte der Landet for Israels Børn, efter deres Afdelinger.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. And the territory of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
Og Benjamins Børns Stammes Lod kom ud efter deres Slægter, og Landemærket for deres Lod gik ud imellem Judas Børn og imellem Josefs Børn.
12 And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up to the mountain westward; and ended at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;
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.
13 and the border passed on from thence toward Luz, to the south side of Luz, which is Bethel: and the border went down to Ataroth-Addar, near the hill that is on the south of the lower Beth-horon.
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.
14 — And the border reached along and turned on the west side, southward from the hill that is before Beth-horon southward; and ended at Kirjath-Baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this is the west side.
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.
15 — And the south side was from the extreme end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
Men Sydsiden er fra det yderste af Kirjath-Jearim; og Landemærket gaar ud fra Vesten, og det gaar ud til Nefthoas Vandkilde.
16 And the border went down to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim on the north, and went down the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south, and went down to En-rogel;
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.
17 and it reached along on the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth towards Geliloth, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, and went down to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben,
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.
18 and passed along towards the side opposite to Arabah northwards, and went down to Arabah;
Og det gaar om til Siden tværs over for Araba, mod Norden; og det gaar ned til Araba.
19 and the border passed on to the side of Beth-hoglah on the north, and the border ended at the tongue of the salt sea northward, at the south end of the Jordan: this is the southern border.
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.
20 — And the Jordan borders it on the east side. — This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its borders round about, according to their families.
Men Jordanen sætter Grænse derfor mod den østre Side; dette er Benjamins Børns Arv i deres Landemærker rundt omkring efter deres Slægter.
21 And the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-Keziz,
Og Benjamins Børns Stammes Stæder efter deres Slægter, vare: Jeriko og Beth-Hogla og Emek-Keziz
22 and Beth-Arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
og Beth-Araba og Zemarajim og Bethel
23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
og Avim og Para og Ofra
24 and Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Geba: twelve cities and their hamlets;
og Kefar-Ammonai og Ofnai og Geba; tolv Stæder og deres Landsbyer.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Gibeon og Rama og Beeroth
26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
og Mizpe og Kefira og Moza
27 and Rekem, and Jirpeel, and Tharalah,
og Rekem og Jirpeel og Tharala
28 and Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, that is, Jerusalem, Gibeah, Kirjath: fourteen cities and their hamlets. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
og Zela, Elef og Jebusi, det er Jerusalem, Gibeath, Kirjath; fjorten Stæder og deres Landsbyer; dette er Benjamins Børns Arv, efter deres Slægter.
