< Joshua 18 >

1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves 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, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
Pada waktu itu masih tinggal tujuh suku di antara orang Israel, yang belum mendapat bagian milik pusaka.
3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, 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 Appoint for you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; and they shall come unto 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 abide in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide 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 the LORD 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 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad and Reuben and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD 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: 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 the LORD 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 unto 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 the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto 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 border of their lot went out 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 quarter was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward; and the goings out thereof were 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 along from thence to Luz, to the side of Luz (the same is Beth-el), southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, by the mountain that lieth on the south of Beth-horon the nether.
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 was drawn and turned about on the west quarter southward, from the mountain that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
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 quarter was from the uttermost part of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out westward, and went out to the fountain 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 uttermost part of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the vale of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, 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 was drawn on the north, and went out at En-shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim; and it 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 it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward, and went down unto the Arabah:
terus ke lereng gunung di seberang Bet-Araba ke utara, dan turun ke Araba-Yordan.
19 and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the goings out of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of Jordan: this was the south 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 Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders thereof 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 Now 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,
22 and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el;
Bet-Araba, Zemaraim, Betel,
23 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah;
Haawim, Para, Ofra,
24 and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages:
Kefar-Haamonai, Ofni dan Geba; dua belas kota dengan desa-desanya.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth;
Gibeon, Rama, Beerot,
26 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah;
Mizpa, Kefira, Moza,
27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah;
Rekem, Yirpeel, Tarala,
28 and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath, [and] Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
Zela, Elef dan Yebus, ialah Yerusalem, Gibeat dan Kiryat; empat belas kota dengan desa-desanya. Itulah milik pusaka bani Benyamin menurut kaum-kaum mereka.
