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.
Sesudah menguasai negeri itu, seluruh bangsa Israel berkumpul di kota Silo dan mendirikan kemah TUHAN di sana.
2 And there are seven tribes left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance,
Masih ada tujuh suku Israel yang belum mendapat bagian tanah warisan.
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?
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 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,
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 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—
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;
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.”
“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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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;
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 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.
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 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;
Garis batas selatan dimulai dari pinggiran kota Kiryat Yearim di ujung barat dan terus menuju mata air Neftah.
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,
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 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,
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 and passed over to the side in front of the Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;
Dari sana batas itu melewati sebelah utara lereng gunung di depan lembah Yordan, lalu turun ke lembah itu.
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;
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 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.
Sungai Yordan adalah batas di sebelah timur. Demikianlah batas-batas tanah warisan yang diberikan kepada marga-marga suku Benyamin.
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,
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, Zemaraim, and Beth-El,
23 and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and their villages.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
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.
