Joshua 18
1 The Israeli people captured all the land [that they were able to], but there were still seven tribes that had not been allotted any land. The Israeli people all gathered at Shiloh, and they set up the Sacred Tent there.
E toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel se juntou em Siló, e assentaram ali o tabernáculo do testemunho, depois que a terra lhes foi sujeita.
Mas haviam restado nos filhos de Israel sete tribos, às quais ainda não haviam repartido sua possessão.
3 Joshua said to them, “Why are you waiting a long time to take control of [the rest of] the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], has promised to give to you [RHQ]?
E Josué disse aos filhos de Israel: Até quando sereis negligentes para vir a possuir a terra que vos deu o SENHOR o Deus de vossos pais?
4 Choose three men from each of your seven tribes. Then I will send them to explore [the parts of] the land [which you have not occupied yet. When they finish exploring it], they must write a report, in which they will (make a map/show the boundaries) of the land that each tribe wants to receive.
Assinalai três homens de cada tribo, para que eu os envie, e que eles se levantem, e percorram a terra, e a descrevam conforme suas propriedades, e se voltem a mim.
5 They will divide the remaining land into seven parts. The tribe of Judah will keep its land in the south, and the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh will keep their land in the north.
E a dividirão em sete partes: e Judá estará em seu termo ao sul, e os da casa de José estarão no seu ao norte.
6 But in their report, the men from the seven tribes should describe the seven parts of the remaining land [that they wish to receive], and bring the report to me. While Yahweh is watching, I will (cast lots/throw marked stones) [to decide which land should be allotted to each tribe].
Vós, pois, demarcareis a terra em sete partes, e me trareis a descrição aqui, e eu vos lançarei as sortes aqui diante do SENHOR nosso Deus.
7 But the tribe of Levi will not be allotted any land, because their [reward is that they will be] Yahweh’s priests. The tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already been allotted their land on the east side of the Jordan [River], just as Moses, the man who served God [well], decided, [so they will not get any more land].”
Porém os levitas nenhuma parte têm entre vós; porque o sacerdócio do SENHOR é a herança deles: Gade também e Rúben, e a meia tribo de Manassés, já receberam sua herança da outra parte do Jordão ao oriente, a qual lhes deu Moisés servo do SENHOR.
8 When the men who were chosen [got ready to] leave, Joshua told them, “Go and explore the land. Then write a report of what you have seen, and bring it back to me. Then while Yahweh is watching, I will (cast lots/throw marked stones) here at Shiloh, [to determine what area each tribe will receive].”
Então aqueles homens se levantaram e se foram; e Josué deu ordem aos que iam demarcar a terra, dizendo-lhes: Ide, percorrei a terra, e demarcai-a, e voltai a mim, para que eu vos lance as sortes aqui diante do SENHOR em Siló.
9 So the men left and walked through the area. Then they described in a scroll each town that was in the seven parts [into which they had divided] the land. Then they returned to Joshua, who was still at Shiloh.
Foram, pois, aqueles homens e passaram pela terra, demarcando-a por cidades em sete partes em um livro, e voltaram a Josué ao acampamento em Siló.
10 [After Joshua read their report], while Yahweh was watching, he (cast lots/threw marked stones) to choose which land would be allotted to each of the seven Israeli tribes.
E Josué lhes lançou as sortes diante do SENHOR em Siló; e ali repartiu Josué a terra aos filhos de Israel por suas porções.
11 The first tribe that was allotted land was the tribe of Benjamin. Each clan in that tribe was allotted some of the land that was between the area that was allotted to the tribe of Judah and the area that was allotted to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
E tirou-se a sorte da tribo dos filhos de Benjamim por suas famílias: e saiu o termo de sua porção entre os filhos de Judá e os filhos de José.
12 The northern border started at the Jordan [River] and extended west along the northern side of Jericho, into the hilly area. From there the border extended west to the desert near Beth-Aven [town].
E foi o termo deles ao lado do norte desde o Jordão: e sobe aquele termo ao lado de Jericó ao norte; sobe depois ao monte até o ocidente, e vem a sair ao deserto de Bete-Áven:
13 From there it extended southwest to Luz (which is [now named] Bethel). From there it extended southwest to Ataroth-Addar [town], which is on the hill south of Lower Beth-Horon [city].
E dali passa aquele termo a Luz, pelo lado de Luz (esta é Betel) até o sul. E desce este termo de Atarote-Adar ao monte que está ao sul de Bete-Horom a de abaixo.
14 At the hill south of Beth-Horon, the border turned and extended south to Kiriath-Baal [town], which is [also named] Kiriath-Jearim. That is a town where people of the tribe of Judah live. That was the western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin.
E torna este termo, e dá volta ao lado do mar, ao sul até o monte que está diante de Bete-Horom ao sul; e vem a sair a Quriate-Baal, que é Quriate-Jearim, cidade dos filhos de Judá. Este é o lado do ocidente.
15 The southern border of their land started near Kiriath-Jearim and extended west to Nephtoah Springs.
E o lado do sul é desde a extremidade de Quriate-Jearim, e sai o termo ao ocidente, e sai à fonte das águas de Neftoa:
16 From there it extended south to the bottom of the hill, near Ben-Hinnom Valley, on the north side of Repha Valley. The border extended south along the Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived, to En-Rogel.
E desce este termo ao fim do monte que está diante do vale do filho de Hinom, que está na campina dos gigantes até o norte: desce logo ao vale de Hinom, ao lado dos jebuseus ao sul, e dali desce à fonte de Rogel;
17 From there the border extended west to En-Shemesh, and continued to Geliloth near Adummim Pass. Then it extended to the great stone of Reuben’s son Bohan.
E do norte torna e sai a En-Semes, e dali sai a Gelilote, que está diante da subida de Adumim, e descia à pedra de Boã, filho de Rúben:
18 From there the border extended to the northern edge of Beth-Arabah [town] and down into the Jordan [River] Valley.
E passa ao lado que está diante da campina do norte, e desce às planícies:
19 From there it extended east to the northern edge of Beth-Hoglah [town] and ended at the north end of the Dead Sea, where the Jordan [River flows into the Dead Sea]. That was the southern boundary [of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin].
E torna a passar este termo pelo lado de Bete-Hogla até o norte, e vem a sair o termo à baía do mar Salgado ao norte, ao fim do Jordão ao sul. Este é o termo do sul.
20 The Jordan [River] was the eastern boundary of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. Those were the boundaries of the land allotted to them.
E o Jordão acaba este termo ao lado do oriente. Esta é a herança dos filhos de Benjamim por seus termos ao redor, conforme suas famílias.
21 The cities in the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin were Jericho, Beth-Hoglah, Emek-Keziz,
As cidades da tribo dos filhos de Benjamim, por suas famílias, foram Jericó, Bete-Hogla, e Emeque-Queziz,
22 Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
Bete-Arabá, Zemaraim, e Betel;
23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
E Avim, e Pará, e Ofra,
24 Kephar-Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba. Altogether there were fourteen towns and the surrounding villages.
E Quefar-Amonai, Ofni, e Geba; doze cidades com suas aldeias:
25 The tribe of Benjamin also had the towns of Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
Gibeão, Ramá, Beerote,
26 Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah,
E Mispá, Quefira, e Moza,
27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
Requém, Irpeel e Tarala,
28 Zelah, Haeleph, the city where the Jebus people-group lived (which is [now named] Jerusalem), Gibeah, and Kiriath. Altogether there were 14 towns and the surrounding villages. All that area was allotted to the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
E Zela, Elefe, Jebus, que é Jerusalém, Gibeá, e Quiriate; catorze cidades com suas aldeias. Esta é a herança dos filhos de Benjamim, conforme suas famílias.
