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.
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 there are seven tribes left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance,
以色列人中其餘的七個支派還沒有分給他們地業。
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?
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 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 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 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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 casts a lot for them in Shiloh before YHWH, and there Joshua apportions the land to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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;
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 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.
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 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;
南界是從基列‧耶琳的儘邊起，往西達到尼弗多亞的水源；
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,
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 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,
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 passed over to the side in front of the Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;
又接連到亞拉巴對面，往北下到亞拉巴；
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;
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 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 for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families, have been Jericho, and Beth-Hoglah, and the Valley of Keziz,
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 Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, and Beth-El,
伯‧亞拉巴、洗瑪臉、伯特利、
23 and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
亞文、巴拉、俄弗拉、
24 and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and their villages.
