< 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.
Maka berkumpullah segenap umat Israel di Silo, lalu mereka menempatkan Kemah Pertemuan di sana, karena negeri itu telah takluk kepada mereka.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not been distributed to them.
Pada waktu itu masih tinggal tujuh suku di antara orang Israel, yang belum mendapat bagian milik pusaka.
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?
Sebab itu berkatalah Yosua kepada orang Israel: "Berapa lama lagi kamu bermalas-malas, sehingga tidak pergi menduduki negeri yang telah diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu?
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.
Ajukanlah tiga orang dari tiap-tiap suku; maka aku akan menyuruh mereka, supaya mereka bersiap untuk menjelajahi negeri itu, mencatat keadaannya, sekadar milik pusaka masing-masing, kemudian kembali kepadaku.
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;
Sesudah itu mereka akan membaginya di antara mereka menjadi tujuh bagian. Suku Yehuda akan tetap tinggal dalam daerahnya di sebelah selatan dan keturunan Yusuf akan tetap tinggal dalam daerahnya di sebelah utara.
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.
Kamu catat keadaan negeri itu dalam tujuh bagian dan kamu bawa ke mari kepadaku; lalu aku akan membuang undi di sini bagi kamu di hadapan TUHAN, Allah kita.
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.
Sebab orang Lewi tidak mendapat bagian di tengah-tengah kamu, karena jabatan sebagai imam TUHAN ialah milik pusaka mereka, sedang suku Gad, suku Ruben dan suku Manasye yang setengah itu telah menerima milik pusaka di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, yang diberikan kepada mereka oleh Musa, hamba TUHAN."
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.
Kemudian bersiaplah orang-orang itu, lalu pergi, sedang Yosua memerintahkan kepada mereka, pada waktu mereka berangkat, supaya mereka mencatat keadaan negeri itu, katanya: "Pergilah, jelajahilah negeri itu, catatkanlah keadaannya, kemudian kembalilah kepadaku; maka di sini, di Silo, aku akan membuang undi bagi kamu di hadapan TUHAN."
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.
Orang-orang itu pergi dan berjalan melalui negeri itu; mereka mencatat keadaannya dalam suatu daftar, kota demi kota, dalam tujuh bagian, lalu kembali kepada Yosua ke tempat perkemahan di 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.
Lalu Yosua membuang undi bagi mereka di Silo, di hadapan TUHAN, dan di sanalah Yosua membagikan negeri itu kepada orang Israel, sesuai dengan pembagian mereka.
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.
Maka keluarlah undian suku bani Benyamin menurut kaum-kaum mereka, dan daerah yang diundikan kepada mereka terdapat antara daerah bani Yehuda dan daerah bani Yusuf.
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;
Batas pada sisi utara bagi mereka mulai dari sungai Yordan; kemudian batas itu naik ke lereng gunung di sebelah utara Yerikho, naik ke barat ke pegunungan, dan menuju ke padang gurun Bet-Awen.
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.
Dari sana batas itu terus ke Lus, ke selatan, ke arah lereng gunung dekat Lus, itulah Betel; kemudian batas itu turun ke Atarot-Adar di pegunungan yang di sebelah selatan Bet-Horon Hilir.
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.
Kemudian batas itu melengkung, lalu membelok dari pegunungan yang di seberang Bet-Horon di sebelah selatan menuju ke sisi barat daya, dan berakhir di Kiryat-Baal, itulah Kiryat-Yearim, suatu kota bani Yehuda. Itulah sisi barat.
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.
Sisi selatan mulai dari ujung Kiryat-Yearim, kemudian batas itu menuju ke barat, dan menuju pula ke mata air Me-Neftoah.
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;
Selanjutnya batas itu turun ke ujung pegunungan yang di tentangan lebak Ben-Hinom, di sebelah utara lembah orang Refaim; kemudian turun ke lebak Hinom, sepanjang lereng gunung Yebus, ke selatan, kemudian turun ke 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,
Kemudian melengkung ke utara, menuju ke En-Semes dan menuju pula ke Gelilot di seberang pendakian Adumim, turun ke batu Bohan bin Ruben,
18 and passed along towards the side opposite to Arabah northwards, and went down to Arabah;
terus ke lereng gunung di seberang Bet-Araba ke utara, dan turun ke Araba-Yordan.
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.
Kemudian batas itu terus ke lereng gunung dekat Bet-Hogla ke utara dan batas itu berakhir ke teluk utara Laut Asin, ke muara sungai Yordan di sebelah selatan. Itulah batas selatan.
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.
Sungai Yordan ialah batasnya pada sisi timur. Itulah milik pusaka bani Benyamin dengan batas-batasnya ke segala penjuru menurut kaum-kaum mereka.
21 And the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-Keziz,
Kota-kota suku bani Benyamin menurut kaum-kaum mereka ialah Yerikho, Bet-Hogla, Emek-Kezis,
