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.
E toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel se ajuntou em Silo, e ali armaram a tenda da congregação, depois que a terra foi sujeita diante d'elles.
2 There were still seven tribes among the people of Israel whose inheritance had not been assigned.
E d'entre os filhos de Israel ficaram sete tribus que ainda não tinham repartido a sua herança.
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?
E disse Josué aos filhos de Israel: Até quando sereis negligentes a passardes para possuir a terra que o Senhor Deus de vossos paes vos deu?
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.
De cada tribu escolhei vós tres homens, para que eu os envie, e se levantem, e corram a terra, e a descrevam segundo as suas heranças, e se tornem a mim.
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.
E a repartirão em sete partes: Judah ficará no seu termo para o sul, e a casa de José ficará no seu termo para o norte.
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.
E vós descrevereis a terra em sete partes, e m'a trareis a mim aqui descripta: para que eu aqui lance as sortes perante o Senhor nosso Deus.
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.”
Porquanto os levitas não teem parte no meio de vós, porém o sacerdocio do Senhor é a sua parte: e Gad, e Ruben e a meia tribu de Manasseh tomaram a sua herança d'além do Jordão para o oriente, a qual lhes deu Moysés, o servo do Senhor.
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.”
Então aquelles homens se levantaram, e se foram: e Josué deu ordem aos que iam descrever a terra, dizendo: Ide, e correi a terra, e descrevei-a, e então tornae a mim, e aqui vos lançarei as sortes perante o Senhor, em Silo.
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.
Foram pois aquelles homens, e passaram pela terra, e a descreveram, segundo as cidades, em sete partes, n'um livro: e voltaram a Josué, ao arraial em Silo.
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.
Então Josué lhes lançou as sortes, em Silo, perante o Senhor; e ali repartiu Josué a terra aos filhos de Israel, conforme ás suas divisões.
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.
E subiu a sorte da tribu dos filhos de Benjamin, segundo as suas familias: e saiu o termo da sua sorte entre os filhos de Judah e os filhos de José.
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.
E o seu termo foi para a banda do norte, desde o Jordão: e sobe este termo ao lado de Jericó para o norte, e sobe pela montanha para o occidente, sendo as suas saidas no deserto de Beth-aven.
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.
E d'ali passa este termo a Luza, ao lado de Luza (que é Beth-el) para o sul: e desce este termo a Ataroth-adar, ao pé do monte que está da banda do sul de Beth-horon a baixa.
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.
E vae este termo e torna á banda do occidente para o sul do monte que está defronte de Beth-horon, para o sul, e as suas saidas vão para Kiriath-baal (que é Kiriath-jearim), cidade dos filhos de Judah: esta é a sua extensão para o occidente.
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.
E a sua extensão para o sul está á extremidade de Kiriath-jearim: e sae este termo ao occidente, e vem a sair á fonte das aguas de Nephtoah.
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.
E desce este termo até á extremidade do monte que está defronte do valle do filho de Hinnom, que está no valle dos rephains, para o norte, e desce pelo valle de Hinnom da banda dos jebuseos para o sul; e então desce á fonte de Rogel
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.
E vae desde o norte, e sae a En-semes; e d'ali sae a Geliloth, que está defronte da subida de Adummim, e desce á pedra de Bohan, filho de Ruben;
18 It passed on to the north of the shoulder of Beth Arabah and down to the Arabah.
E passa até ao lado defronte d'Araba para o norte, e desce a Araba;
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.
Passa mais este termo até ao lado de Beth-hogla para o norte, estando as saidas d'este termo na lingua do mar salgado para o norte, na extremidade do Jordão para o sul: este é o termo do sul.
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.
E termina o Jordão da banda do oriente: esta é a herança dos filhos de Benjamin, nos seus termos em redor, segundo as suas familias.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, had these cities: Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
E as cidades da tribu dos filhos de Benjamin, segundo as suas familias, são: Jericó, e Beth-hogla, e Emekkesis,
22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
E Beth-araba, e Semaraim, e Beth-el,
23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
E Havvim, e Para, e Ophra,
24 Kephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba. There were twelve cities, including their villages.
E Chephar-haammonai, e Ophni, e Gaba: doze cidades e as suas aldeias:
25 There were also the cities of Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
Gibeon, e Rama, e Beeroth,
26 Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah,
E Mispah, e Chephira, e Mosa,
27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
E Rekem, e Irpeel, e Tharala,
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.
E Sela, Eleph, e Jebusi (esta é Jerusalem), Gibeath e Kiriath: quatorze cidades com as suas aldeias: esta é a herança dos filhos de Benjamin, segundo as suas familias.
