Joshua 18
1 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel is assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the Tent of Meeting to dwell there, and the land has been subdued before them.
這地方即然已被征服，以色列子民的全會眾就都聚集到史羅，在那裏整起了會慕。
2 And there are seven tribes left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance,
以色列子民中，還有七個支派沒有分到產業。
3 and Joshua says to the sons of Israel, “Until when are you remiss to go in to possess the land which He, YHWH, God of your fathers, has given to you?
若蘇厄對以色列子民說：「你們遲遲不去，承受上主你們祖先的天主賜與你們的土地，要到時候呢﹖
4 Give three men from you for [each] tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come to me,
你們應由每反派推選三人，我好派他們去走遍全境，按照各支派應得的產業，畫成圖樣，然後回來見我。
5 and they have divided it into seven portions—Judah stays by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph stays by their border on the north—
他們應將那地分成七份，猶大保有自己在南方的土地，若瑟家族保有自己在北方的土地。
6 and you describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] to me here, and I have cast a lot for you here before our God YHWH;
你們應將那地畫成七份，把圖樣帶來見我，使我好在這裏，於上主我們的天主面前，為你們抽籤。
7 for there is no portion for the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of YHWH [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses, servant of YHWH, gave to them.”
肋未人在你們中間不應有產業，因為上主司祭的品位，就是他們的產業。至於加得、勒烏本和默納協和默納協半個支派，在約旦河東岸已分得了產業，那是上主的僕人梅瑟分給他們的。」
8 And the men rise and go; and Joshua commands those who are going to describe the land, saying, “Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and return to me, and here I cast a lot for you before YHWH in Shiloh.”
這些人準備出發時，若蘇厄吩咐這些去繪圖的人說：「你們去走遍這地，畫成圖樣，然後回來見我，我要在史羅在上主面前為你們抽籤。」
9 And the men go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a scroll, and they come to Joshua, to the camp [at] Shiloh.
這些人就去走遍全境，將所有城市分成七分，寫在書冊上，回到史羅營中呈給若蘇厄。
10 And Joshua casts a lot for them in Shiloh before YHWH, and there Joshua apportions the land to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions.
若蘇厄便在史羅於上主面前，為他們抽籤，在那裏按照他們的分法，將地畫分給了以色列子民。
11 And a lot goes up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goes out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
本雅明支派安他們的家族，抽籤分得的產業，是在猶大子孫和若瑟子孫中間。
12 And the border is for them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border has gone up to the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;
北邊邊界起自約旦河，沿耶利哥北邊的山坡往上，至西面山地，直達貝特阿文曠野；
13 and the border has gone over there to Luz, to the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border has gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;
再由此經路次，沿路即貝特耳南山坡下，下至阿塔洛特阿達爾，與在下貝特曷龍南部的山相接，
14 and the border has been marked out, and has gone around to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been to Kirjath-Ba‘al (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this [is] the west quarter.
西邊的邊界由此轉彎，折向南方，由貝特曷龍對面的山向南折，直到猶大人的克黎雅特巴爾，即克黎雅特耶阿陵城：這是西界。
15 And the south quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border has gone out westward, and has gone out to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;
南界是從克黎雅特耶阿陵的邊界起，向加斤伸展，直到乃費托亞水泉；
16 and the border has come down to the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which [is] in the Valley of the Rephaim northward, and has gone down the Valley of Hinnom to the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel,
由此往下直到位於勒法因不原北部，本希農山谷對面的山角；然後往下，經希農山谷，下至耶步斯人山腰南部，直到洛革耳泉；
17 and has been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out to Geliloth, which [is] opposite the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
由此轉北，出舍默士水泉，直至阿杜明山坡對面的革里羅特，再下至勒烏本人波罕的盤石；
18 and passed over to the side in front of the Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;
由此經貝特阿辣巴對面山腰的北部，直下到阿辣巴，
19 and the border has passed over to the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been to the north bay of the Salt Sea, to the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;
再經貝特曷拉山脊向北，止於鹽海北端，約旦河南口，：這是南界。
20 and the Jordan borders it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders all around, for their families.
東邊以約旦河為界以上是本雅明子孫，按照家族，分得土地的四面邊界。
21 And the cities for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families, have been Jericho, and Beth-Hoglah, and the Valley of Keziz,
本雅明支派子孫按照家族，分得的城市：有耶利哥、貝特曷革拉、厄默各刻漆茲、
22 and Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, and Beth-El,
背叛貝特阿辣巴、責瑪辣因、貝特耳、
23 and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
阿威、帕辣、敖斐辣、
24 and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and their villages.

28 and Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi (it [is] Jerusalem), Gibeath, Kirjath; fourteen cities and their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, for their families.
責拉、厄肋夫、耶步斯即耶路撒冷、基貝亞和克黎雅特耶阿陵：共計十四座城和所屬村鎮：以上是本雅明子孫，按照家族分得的產業。
