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.
At ang buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel ay nagpupulong sa Silo, at itinayo ang tabernakulo ng kapisanan doon: at ang lupain ay sumuko sa harap nila.
At nalabi sa mga anak ni Israel ay pitong lipi na hindi pa nababahaginan ng kanilang mana.
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]?
At sinabi ni Josue sa mga anak ni Israel, Hanggang kailan magpapakatamad kayo upang pasukin ninyong ariin ang lupain na ibinigay sa inyo ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng inyong mga magulang?
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.
Maghalal kayo sa inyo ng tatlong lalake sa bawa't lipi: at aking susuguin, at sila'y babangon at lalakad sa lupain, at iguguhit ayon sa kanilang mana; at sila'y paririto sa akin.
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.
At kanilang babahagihin ng pitong bahagi: ang Juda ay mananahan sa hangganan niyaon na dakong timugan, at ang sangbahayan ni Jose ay mananahan sa kanilang hangganan sa dakong hilagaan.
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].
At inyong iguguhit ang lupain ng pitong bahagi, at inyong dadalhin ang pagkaguhit dito sa akin: at aking ipagsasapalaran dito sa inyo sa harap ng Panginoon natin Dios;
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].”
Sapagka't ang mga Levita ay walang bahagi sa gitna ninyo; sapagka't ang pagkasaserdote sa Panginoon ay siyang kanilang mana: at ang Gad, at ang Ruben at ang kalahating lipi ni Manases ay tumanggap na ng kanilang mana sa dako roon ng Jordan na dakong silanganan, na ibinigay sa kanila ni Moises na lingkod ng Panginoon.
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].”
At ang mga lalake ay tumindig at yumaon: at ibinilin sa kanila ni Josue na yumaong iguhit ang lupain, na sinasabi, Yumaon kayo at lakarin ninyo ang lupain at iguhit ninyo at bumalik kayo sa akin, at aking ipagsasapalaran sa inyo dito sa harap ng Panginoon sa Silo.
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.
At ang mga lalake ay yumaon at nilakad ang lupain, at iginuhit sa isang aklat ayon sa mga bayan na pitong bahagi, at sila'y naparoon kay Josue sa kampamento sa Silo.
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.
At ipinagsapalaran ni Josue sa kanila sa Silo sa harap ng Panginoon; at binahagi roon ni Josue ang lupain sa mga anak ni Israel ayon sa kanilang mga bahagi.
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.
At ang kapalaran ng lipi ng mga anak ni Benjamin ay lumabas ayon sa kanilang mga angkan: at ang hangganan ng kanilang kapalaran ay palabas sa pagitan ng mga anak ni Juda at ng mga anak ni Jose.
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].
At ang kanilang hangganan sa hilagaang sulok ay mula sa Jordan; at ang hangganan ay pasampa sa dako ng Jerico sa hilagaan, at pasampa sa lupaing maburol na dakong kalunuran; at ang labasan niyaon ay sa ilang ng Beth-aven.
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].
At ang hangganan ay patuloy mula roon hanggang sa Luz, sa dako ng Luz (na siyang Beth-el), na dakong timugan; at ang hangganan ay pababa sa Ataroth-addar, sa tabi ng bundok na dumudoon sa timugan ng Beth-horon sa ibaba.
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.
At ang hangganan ay patuloy at paliko sa kalunurang sulok na dakong timugan mula sa bundok na nakalatag sa harap ng Beth-horon na dakong timugan, at ang mga labasan niyaon ay sa Chiriath-baal (na siyang Chiriath-jearim), na bayan ng mga anak ni Juda: ito ang kalunurang sulok.
15 The southern border of their land started near Kiriath-Jearim and extended west to Nephtoah Springs.
At ang timugang sulok ay mula sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng Chiriath-jearim at ang hangganan ay palabas sa dakong kalunuran, at palabas sa bukal ng tubig ng Nephtoa:
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.
At ang hangganan ay pababa sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng bundok na nakalatag sa harap ng libis ng anak ni Hinnom, na nasa libis ng Rephaim na dakong hilagaan; at pababa sa libis ni Hinnom, sa dako ng Jebuseo na dakong timugan at pababa sa En-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.
At paabot sa hilagaan at palabas sa En-semes, at palabas sa Geliloth na nasa tapat ng pagsampa sa Adummim; at pababa sa bato ng Bohan na anak ni Ruben,
18 From there the border extended to the northern edge of Beth-Arabah [town] and down into the Jordan [River] Valley.
At patuloy sa tagiliran na tapat ng Araba sa dakong hilagaan, at pababa sa Araba;
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].
At ang hangganan ay patuloy sa tabi ng Beth-hogla na dakong hilagaan, at ang labasan ng hangganan ay sa hilagaang dagat-dagatan ng Dagat na Alat, sa timugang dulo ng Jordan; ito ang timugang hangganan.
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.
At ang Jordan ay hangganan niyaon sa sulok na silanganan. Ito ang mana ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa mga hangganan niyaon sa palibot, ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.
21 The cities in the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin were Jericho, Beth-Hoglah, Emek-Keziz,
Ang mga bayan nga ng lipi ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa kanilang mga angkan ay Jerico, at Beth-hogla, at Emec-casis:

At Sela, Eleph, at Jebus (na siyang Jerusalem), Gibeath, at Chiriath; labing apat na bayan pati ng mga nayon ng mga yaon. Ito ang mana ng mga anak ni Benjamin ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.
