< 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.
Congregatique sunt omnes filii Israel in Silo, ibique fixerunt tabernaculum testimonii, et fuit eis Terra subiecta.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Remanserunt autem filiorum Israel septem tribus, quae necdum acceperant possessiones suas.
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?
Ad quos Iosue ait: Usquequo marcetis ignavia, et non intratis ad possidendam Terram, quam Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum dedit vobis?
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.
Eligite de singulis tribubus ternos viros, ut mittam eos, et pergant atque circumeant Terram, et describant eam iuxta numerum uniuscuiusque multitudinis: referantque ad me quod descripserint.
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.
Dividite vobis Terram in septem partes: Iudas sit in terminis suis ab australi plaga, et domus Ioseph ab Aquilone.
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.
mediam inter hos Terram in septem partes describite: et huc venietis ad me, ut coram Domino Deo vestro mittam vobis hic sortem:
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.
quia non est inter vos pars Levitarum, sed sacerdotium Domini est eorum hereditas. Gad autem et Ruben, et dimidia tribus Manasse iam acceperant possessiones suas trans Iordanem ad Orientalem plagam: quas dedit eis Moyses famulus Domini.
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.
Cumque surrexissent viri, ut pergerent ad describendam terram, praecepit eis Iosue, dicens: Circuite Terram, et describite eam, ac revertimini ad me: ut hic coram Domino, in Silo, mittam vobis sortem.
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.
Itaque perrexerunt: et lustrantes eam, in septem partes diviserunt, scribentes in volumine. Reversique sunt ad Iosue in castra 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.
Qui misit sortes coram Domino in Silo, divisitque Terram filiis Israel in septem partes.
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.
Et ascendit sors prima filiorum Beniamin per familias suas, ut possiderent Terram inter filios Iuda et filios Ioseph.
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.
Fuitque terminus eorum contra Aquilonem a Iordane: pergens iuxta latus Iericho septentrionalis plagae, et inde contra Occidentem ad montana conscendens, et perveniens ad solitudinem Bethaven,
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.
atque pertransiens iuxta Luzam ad Meridiem, ipsa est Bethel: descenditque in Ataroth addar in montem, qui est ad Meridiem Beth horon inferioris:
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.
Et inclinatur circuiens contra mare ad Meridiem montis qui respicit Beth horon contra Africum: suntque exitus eius in Cariath baal, quae vocatur et Cariathiarim, urbem filiorum Iuda. haec est plaga contra mare, ad Occidentem.
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:
A Meridie autem ex parte Cariathiarim egreditur terminus contra mare, et pervenit usque ad fontem aquarum Nephtoa.
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,
Descenditque in partem montis, qui respicit Vallem filiorum Ennom: et est contra septentrionalem plagam in extrema parte Vallis Raphaim. Descenditque in Geennom (id est, Vallem Ennom) iuxta latus Iebusaei ad Austrum: et pervenit ad Fontem 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,
transiens ad Aquilonem, et egrediens ad Ensemes, id est fontem solis:
18 And passed along towards the side over against Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah:
et pertransit usque ad tumulos, qui sunt e regione Ascensus Adommim: descenditque ad Abenboen, id est, lapidem Boen filii Ruben: et pertransit ex latere Aquilonis ad campestria: descenditque in planitiem,
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.
et praetergreditur contra Aquilonem Beth hagla: suntque exitus eius contra linguam maris salsissimi ab Aquilone in fine Iordanis ad australem plagam:
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.
qui est terminus illius ab Oriente. haec est possessio filiorum Beniamin per terminos suos in circuitu, et familias suas.
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,
Fueruntque civitates eius, Iericho et Beth hagla et Vallis Casis,
22 And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,
Beth Araba et Samaraim et Bethel
23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
et Avim et Aphara et Ophera,
24 And Chephar-haamonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
villa Emona et Ophni et Gabee: civitates duodecim, et villae earum.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Gabaon et Rama et Beroth,
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
et Mesphe et Caphara, et Amosa
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
et Recem, Iarephel et Tharela,
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.
et Sela, Eleph, et Iebus, quae est Ierusalem, Gabaath et Cariath: civitates quattuordecim, et villae earum. Haec est possessio filiorum Beniamin iuxta familias suas.
