Joshua 18
1 Then the whole assembly of the people of Israel met together at Shiloh. They set up the tent of meeting there and they conquered the land before them.
以色列的全会众都聚集在示罗，把会幕设立在那里，那地已经被他们制伏了。
2 There were still seven tribes among the people of Israel whose inheritance had not been assigned.
以色列人中其余的七个支派还没有分给他们地业。
3 Joshua said to the people of Israel, “How long will you put off going into the land that Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
约书亚对以色列人说：“耶和华—你们列祖的 神所赐给你们的地，你们耽延不去得，要到几时呢？
4 Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe, and I will send them out. They will set out and survey the land up and down. They will write out a description of it with a view to their inheritances, and then they will come back to me.
你们每支派当选举三个人，我要打发他们去，他们就要起身走遍那地，按着各支派应得的地业写明，就回到我这里来。
5 They will divide it into seven sections. Judah will remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph will continue in their territory in the north.
他们要将地分做七分；犹大仍在南方，住在他的境内。约瑟家仍在北方，住在他的境内。
6 You will describe the land in seven sections and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh our God.
你们要将地分做七分，写明了拿到我这里来。我要在耶和华—我们 神面前，为你们拈阄。
7 The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Yahweh is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance, beyond Jordan. This is the inheritance that Moses the servant of Yahweh gave them.”
利未人在你们中间没有分，因为供耶和华祭司的职任就是他们的产业。迦得支派、吕便支派，和玛拿西半支派已经在约旦河东得了地业，就是耶和华仆人摩西所给他们的。”
8 So the men got up and went. Joshua commanded those who went to write the description of the land, saying, “Go up and down in the land and write a description of it and return to me. I will cast lots for you here before Yahweh at Shiloh.”
划地势的人起身去的时候，约书亚嘱咐他们说：“你们去走遍那地，划明地势，就回到我这里来。我要在示罗这里，耶和华面前，为你们拈阄。”
9 The men left and walked up and down in the land and wrote a description of it in a scroll by its cities in seven sections, listing the cities in each section. Then they returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.
他们就去了，走遍那地，按着城邑分做七分，写在册子上，回到示罗营中见约书亚。
10 Then Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh before Yahweh. It was there that Joshua assigned the land to the people of Israel, and to each was given his portion of the land.
约书亚就在示罗，耶和华面前，为他们拈阄。约书亚在那里，按着以色列人的支派，将地分给他们。
11 The assignment of land for the tribe of Benjamin clan by clan. The territory of their assigned land was located between the descendants of Judah and the descendants of Joseph.
便雅悯支派，按着宗族拈阄所得之地，是在犹大、约瑟子孙中间。
12 On the north side, their border began at the Jordan. The border went up to the ridge north of Jericho, and then up through the hill country westward. There it reached the wilderness of Beth Aven.
他们的北界是从约旦河起，往上贴近耶利哥的北边；又往西通过山地，直到伯·亚文的旷野；
13 From there the border passed along south in the direction of Luz (the same place as Bethel). Then the border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies south of Beth Horon.
从那里往南接连到路斯，贴近路斯（路斯就是伯特利），又下到亚他绿·亚达，靠近下伯·和 南边的山；
14 The boundary then went in another direction: On the western side it turned toward the south, heading toward the mountain across from Beth Horon. This boundary ended at Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city that belonged to the tribe of Judah. This formed the border on the western side.
从那里往西，又转向南，从伯·和 南对面的山，直达到犹大人的城基列·巴力（基列·巴力就是基列·耶琳）；这是西界。
15 The south side began just outside of Kiriath Jearim. The border went from there to Ephron, to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
南界是从基列·耶琳的尽边起，往西达到尼弗多亚的水源；
16 The boundary then went down to the border of the mountain which was opposite the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which was at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim. It then went down to the Valley of Hinnom, south of the slope of the Jebusites, and continued down to En Rogel.
又下到欣嫩子谷对面山的尽边，就是利乏音谷北边的山；又下到欣嫩谷，贴近耶布斯的南边；又下到隐·罗结；
17 It turned northward, going in the direction of En Shemesh, and from there it went out to Geliloth, which was opposite the ascent of Adummim. Then it went down to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
又往北通到隐·示麦，达到亚都冥坡对面的基利绿；又下到吕便之子波罕的磐石；
18 It passed on to the north of the shoulder of Beth Arabah and down to the Arabah.
又接连到亚拉巴对面，往北下到亚拉巴；
19 The border passed on to the north shoulder of Beth Hoglah. The border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the southern end of the Jordan. This was the boundary on the south.
又接连到伯·曷拉的北边，直通到盐海的北汊，就是约旦河的南头；这是南界。
20 The Jordan formed its border on the eastern side. This was the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin, and it was given clan by clan, border after border, all around.
东界是约旦河。这是便雅悯人按着宗族，照他们四围的交界所得的地业。
21 Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, had these cities: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
便雅悯支派按着宗族所得的城邑就是：耶利哥、伯·曷拉、伊麦·基悉、
22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
伯·亚拉巴、洗玛脸、伯特利、
23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
亚文、巴拉、俄弗拉、
24 Kephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba. There were twelve cities, including their villages.
基法·阿摩尼、俄弗尼、迦巴，共十二座城，还有属城的村庄；
25 There were also the cities of Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
又有基遍、拉玛、比录、
26 Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah,
米斯巴、基非拉、摩撒、
27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
利坚、伊利毗勒、他拉拉、
28 Zelah, Haeleph, Jebus (the same as Jerusalem), Gibeah, and Kiriath. There were fourteen cities, including their villages. This was the inheritance of Benjamin for their clans.
洗拉、以利弗、耶布斯（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷）、基比亚、基列，共十四座城，还有属城的村庄。这是便雅悯人按着宗族所得的地业。
