Joshua 18
1 And the whole Congregation of the children of Israel, came together at Shiloh: for they set vp the Tabernacle of the Congregation there, after the land was subiect vnto them.
Sesudah menguasai negeri itu, seluruh bangsa Israel berkumpul di kota Silo dan mendirikan kemah TUHAN di sana.
2 Nowe there remained among the children of Israel seuen tribes, to whom they had not deuided their inheritance.
Masih ada tujuh suku Israel yang belum mendapat bagian tanah warisan.
3 Therefore Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Howe long are ye so slacke to enter and possesse the land which the Lord God of your fathers hath giuen you?
Karena itu Yosua berkata kepada umat Israel, “Sampai kapan kalian akan menunda-nunda untuk menduduki daerah yang sudah diberikan oleh TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang kalian?
4 Giue from among you for euery tribe three men, that I may sende them, and that they may rise, and walke through the land, and distribute it according to their inheritance, and returne to me.
Pilihlah tiga orang dari setiap suku. Saya akan mengutus mereka untuk menjelajahi negeri itu. Mereka akan mencatat keadaan negeri dan membaginya menjadi tujuh bagian, tidak termasuk wilayah Yehuda di sebelah selatan dan wilayah Yusuf di sebelah utara. Kemudian mereka harus kembali kepada saya. Saya akan mengundi untuk menentukan bagian tanah yang diberikan TUHAN, Allah kita, bagi ketujuh suku itu.
5 And that they may deuide it vnto them into seuen parts, (Iudah shall abide in his coast at the South, and the house of Ioseph shall stand in their coastes at the North)
6 Ye shall describe the land therefore into seuen partes, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lottes for you here before the Lord our God.
7 But the Leuites shall haue no part among you: for the Priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: also Gad and Reuben and halfe the tribe of Manasseh haue receiued their inheritance beyond Iorden Eastward, which Moses the seruant of the Lord gaue them.
“Tetapi suku Lewi tidak mendapat bagian tanah, karena bagian mereka adalah melayani TUHAN sebagai imam. Sedangkan suku Gad, Ruben, dan separuh suku Manasye sudah menerima bagian mereka di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, yang diberikan Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, kepada mereka.”
8 Then the men arose, and went their way: and Ioshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Depart, and goe through the land, and describe it, and returne to me, that I may here cast lottes for you before the Lord in Shiloh.
Kemudian Yosua berkata kepada orang-orang yang diutus pergi, “Jelajahilah negeri itu, catatlah keadaannya, dan kembalilah kepadaku. Di sini, di Silo, aku akan mengundi untuk menentukan bagian tanah yang TUHAN berikan kepada setiap suku kalian.”
9 So the men departed, and passed through the lande, and described it by cities into seuen partes in a booke, and returned to Ioshua into the campe at Shiloh.
Maka mereka berangkat menjelajahi negeri itu, membaginya menjadi tujuh bagian, dan mencatat kota-kota yang ada di setiap bagian. Kemudian mereka kembali kepada Yosua di perkemahan di Silo.
10 Then Ioshua cast lottes for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Ioshua deuided the land vnto the children of Israel, according to their portions:
Lalu di situ Yosua melakukan undi untuk menentukan bagian tanah yang TUHAN berikan untuk masing-masing suku Israel yang belum mendapat tanah warisan. Yosua membagikan ketujuh bagian tanah itu sesuai dengan undi yang keluar.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Beniamin came foorth according to their families, and the cost of their lot lay betweene the children of Iudah, and the children of Ioseph.
Undian pertama pembagian tanah jatuh pada marga-marga suku Benyamin. Wilayah mereka terletak di antara wilayah suku Yehuda di selatan dan wilayah suku keturunan Yusuf di utara.
12 And their coast on the Northside was from Iorden, and the border went vp to the side of Iericho on the Northpart, and went vp through the mountaines Westward, and the endes thereof are in the wildernesse of Beth-auen:
Batas wilayah suku Benyamin di sebelah utara dimulai dari sungai Yordan di sebelah timur, terus ke arah barat naik ke lereng gunung di sebelah utara kota Yeriko, melalui daerah pegunungan, sampai di daerah belantara Bet Awen.
13 And this border goeth along from thence to Luz, euen to the Southside of Luz (the same is Beth-el) and this border descendeth to Atroth-addar, neere the mount, that lyeth on the Southside of Beth-horon the nether.
Dari sana garis batas itu menuju ke arah selatan, ke kota Lus (yang disebut Betel), lalu turun ke kota Atarot Adar yang terletak di gunung, di sebelah selatan kota Bet Horon Hilir.
14 So the border turneth, and compasseth the corner of the Sea Southward, from the mount that lyeth before Beth-horon Southward: and the endes thereof are at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-iearim) a citie of the children of Iudah: this is the Westquarter.
Dari sebelah barat gunung itu, garis batas itu berbelok ke selatan menuju ke kota Kiryat Baal (juga disebut Kiryat Yearim) milik suku Yehuda. Inilah batas sebelah barat.
15 And the Southquarter is from the ende of Kiriath-iearim, and this border goeth out Westward, and commeth to the fountaine of waters of Nephtoah.
Garis batas selatan dimulai dari pinggiran kota Kiryat Yearim di ujung barat dan terus menuju mata air Neftah.
16 And this border descendeth at the ende of the mountaine, that lyeth before the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of the gyants Northward, and descendeth into the valley of Hinnom by the side of Iebusi Southwarde, and goeth downe to En-rogel,
Lalu garis batas itu turun ke kaki gunung yang berhadapan dengan lembah Ben Hinom di ujung utara lembah Refaim. Garis batas itu terus turun melalui lembah Hinom ke sebelah selatan lereng gunung yang ditempati orang Yebus, dan terus turun ke mata air En Rogel.
17 And compasseth from the North, and goeth foorth to En-shemesh, and stretcheth to Geliloth, which is toward the going vp vnto Adummim, and goeth downe to the stone of Bohan the sonne of Reuben.
Kemudian batas itu berbelok ke arah utara menuju ke En Semes dan terus ke Gelilot di seberang pendakian Adumim, lalu turun ke Batu Bohan. Bohan adalah nama anak Ruben.
18 So it goeth along to the side ouer against the plaine Northward, and goeth downe into the plaine.
Dari sana batas itu melewati sebelah utara lereng gunung di depan lembah Yordan, lalu turun ke lembah itu.
19 After, this border goeth along to the side of Beth-hoglah Northward: and the endes thereof, that is, of the border, reach to the point of the salt Sea Northward, and to the ende of Iorden Southward: this is the Southcoast.
Selanjutnya batas itu lalu melewati sebelah utara lereng Bet Hogla dan berakhir di muara sungai Yordan, di bagian ujung utara Laut Mati. Itulah garis batas selatan.
20 Also Iorden is the border of it on the Eastside: this is the inheritance of the children of Beniamin by the coastes thereof rounde about according to their families.
Sungai Yordan adalah batas di sebelah timur. Demikianlah batas-batas tanah warisan yang diberikan kepada marga-marga suku Benyamin.
21 Nowe the cities of the tribe of the children of Beniamin according to their families, are Iericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
Marga-marga suku Benyamin memiliki dua belas kota dan empat belas kota dengan desa-desa di sekitarnya. Dua belas kota itu adalah Yeriko, Bet Hogla, Lembah Kezis, Bet Araba, Zemaraim, Betel, Haawim, Para, Ofra, Kefar Hamonai, Ofni, dan Geba. Empat belas kota itu adalah Gibeon, Rama, Beerot, Mispa, Kefira, Moza, Rekem, Yirpeel, Tarala, Zela, Elef, Yebus (kota orang Yebus yang kemudian berkembang menjadi Yerusalem), Gibea, dan Kiryat.
22 And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,
23 And Auim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 And Chephar, Ammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba: twelue cities with their villages.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 And Zela, Eleph, and Iebusi, (which is Ierusalem) Gibeath, and Kiriath: fourteene cities with their villages: this is the inheritance of the children of Beniamin according to their families.
