Joshua 18
1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there: and the land was subdued before them.
Sesudah menguasai negeri itu, seluruh bangsa Israel berkumpul di kota Silo dan mendirikan kemah TUHAN di sana.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Masih ada tujuh suku Israel yang belum mendapat bagian tanah warisan.
3 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long [are] ye slack to go to possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
Karena itu Yosua berkata kepada umat Israel, “Sampai kapan kalian akan menunda-nunda untuk menduduki daerah yang sudah diberikan oleh TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang kalian?
4 Select from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them, and they shall come [again] to me.
Pilihlah tiga orang dari setiap suku. Saya akan mengutus mereka untuk menjelajahi negeri itu. Mereka akan mencatat keadaan negeri dan membaginya menjadi tujuh bagian, tidak termasuk wilayah Yehuda di sebelah selatan dan wilayah Yusuf di sebelah utara. Kemudian mereka harus kembali kepada saya. Saya akan mengundi untuk menentukan bagian tanah yang diberikan TUHAN, Allah kita, bagi ketujuh suku itu.
5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their borders on the north.
6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [in] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD [is] their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
“Tetapi suku Lewi tidak mendapat bagian tanah, karena bagian mereka adalah melayani TUHAN sebagai imam. Sedangkan suku Gad, Ruben, dan separuh suku Manasye sudah menerima bagian mereka di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, yang diberikan Musa, hamba TUHAN itu, kepada mereka.”
8 And the men arose, and departed: 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, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
Kemudian Yosua berkata kepada orang-orang yang diutus pergi, “Jelajahilah negeri itu, catatlah keadaannya, dan kembalilah kepadaku. Di sini, di Silo, aku akan mengundi untuk menentukan bagian tanah yang TUHAN berikan kepada setiap suku kalian.”
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven parts in a book, and came [again], to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
Maka mereka berangkat menjelajahi negeri itu, membaginya menjadi tujuh bagian, dan mencatat kota-kota yang ada di setiap bagian. Kemudian mereka kembali kepada Yosua di perkemahan di Silo.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Lalu di situ Yosua melakukan undi untuk menentukan bagian tanah yang TUHAN berikan untuk masing-masing suku Israel yang belum mendapat tanah warisan. Yosua membagikan ketujuh bagian tanah itu sesuai dengan undi yang keluar.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the border of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
Undian pertama pembagian tanah jatuh pada marga-marga suku Benyamin. Wilayah mereka terletak di antara wilayah suku Yehuda di selatan dan wilayah suku keturunan Yusuf di utara.
12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the limits of it were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
Batas wilayah suku Benyamin di sebelah utara dimulai dari sungai Yordan di sebelah timur, terus ke arah barat naik ke lereng gunung di sebelah utara kota Yeriko, melalui daerah pegunungan, sampai di daerah belantara Bet Awen.
13 And the border went over from thence towards Luz, to the side of Luz (which [is] Beth-el) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether Beth-horon.
Dari sana garis batas itu menuju ke arah selatan, ke kota Lus (yang disebut Betel), lalu turun ke kota Atarot Adar yang terletak di gunung, di sebelah selatan kota Bet Horon Hilir.
14 And the border was drawn [thence], and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before Beth-horon southward; and the limits of it were at Kirjath-baal (which [is] Kirjath-jearim) a city of the children of Judah. This [was] the west quarter.
Dari sebelah barat gunung itu, garis batas itu berbelok ke selatan menuju ke kota Kiryat Baal (juga disebut Kiryat Yearim) milik suku Yehuda. Inilah batas sebelah barat.
15 And the south quarter [was] from the end of Kirjah-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
Garis batas selatan dimulai dari pinggiran kota Kiryat Yearim di ujung barat dan terus menuju mata air Neftah.
16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which [is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel,
Lalu garis batas itu turun ke kaki gunung yang berhadapan dengan lembah Ben Hinom di ujung utara lembah Refaim. Garis batas itu terus turun melalui lembah Hinom ke sebelah selatan lereng gunung yang ditempati orang Yebus, dan terus turun ke mata air En Rogel.
17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth towards Geliloth, which [is] over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
Kemudian batas itu berbelok ke arah utara menuju ke En Semes dan terus ke Gelilot di seberang pendakian Adumim, lalu turun ke Batu Bohan. Bohan adalah nama anak Ruben.
18 And passed along towards the side over against Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah:
Dari sana batas itu melewati sebelah utara lereng gunung di depan lembah Yordan, lalu turun ke lembah itu.
19 And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the limits of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan. This [was] the south border.
Selanjutnya batas itu lalu melewati sebelah utara lereng Bet Hogla dan berakhir di muara sungai Yordan, di bagian ujung utara Laut Mati. Itulah garis batas selatan.
20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the limits of it round about, according to their families.
Sungai Yordan adalah batas di sebelah timur. Demikianlah batas-batas tanah warisan yang diberikan kepada marga-marga suku Benyamin.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
Marga-marga suku Benyamin memiliki dua belas kota dan empat belas kota dengan desa-desa di sekitarnya. Dua belas kota itu adalah Yeriko, Bet Hogla, Lembah Kezis, Bet Araba, Zemaraim, Betel, Haawim, Para, Ofra, Kefar Hamonai, Ofni, dan Geba. Empat belas kota itu adalah Gibeon, Rama, Beerot, Mispa, Kefira, Moza, Rekem, Yirpeel, Tarala, Zela, Elef, Yebus (kota orang Yebus yang kemudian berkembang menjadi Yerusalem), Gibea, dan Kiryat.
22 And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,
23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 And Chephar-haamonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, (which [is] Jerusalem) Gibeath, [and] Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
