Joshua 18
1 The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the Tent of Meeting there. The land was subdued before them.
Maka berkumpullah segenap umat Israel di Silo, lalu mereka menempatkan Kemah Pertemuan di sana, karena negeri itu telah takluk kepada mereka.
2 Seven tribes remained among the children of Israel, which had not yet divided their inheritance.
Pada waktu itu masih tinggal tujuh suku di antara orang Israel, yang belum mendapat bagian milik pusaka.
3 Joshua said to the children of Israel, “How long will you neglect to go in to possess the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
Sebab itu berkatalah Yosua kepada orang Israel: "Berapa lama lagi kamu bermalas-malas, sehingga tidak pergi menduduki negeri yang telah diberikan kepadamu oleh TUHAN, Allah nenek moyangmu?
4 Appoint for yourselves three men from each tribe. I will send them, and they shall arise, walk through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance; then they shall come to me.
Ajukanlah tiga orang dari tiap-tiap suku; maka aku akan menyuruh mereka, supaya mereka bersiap untuk menjelajahi negeri itu, mencatat keadaannya, sekadar milik pusaka masing-masing, kemudian kembali kepadaku.
5 They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall live in his borders on the south, and the house of Joseph shall live in their borders on the north.
Sesudah itu mereka akan membaginya di antara mereka menjadi tujuh bagian. Suku Yehuda akan tetap tinggal dalam daerahnya di sebelah selatan dan keturunan Yusuf akan tetap tinggal dalam daerahnya di sebelah utara.
6 You shall survey the land into seven parts, and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
Kamu catat keadaan negeri itu dalam tujuh bagian dan kamu bawa ke mari kepadaku; lalu aku akan membuang undi di sini bagi kamu di hadapan TUHAN, Allah kita.
7 However, the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.”
Sebab orang Lewi tidak mendapat bagian di tengah-tengah kamu, karena jabatan sebagai imam TUHAN ialah milik pusaka mereka, sedang suku Gad, suku Ruben dan suku Manasye yang setengah itu telah menerima milik pusaka di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, yang diberikan kepada mereka oleh Musa, hamba TUHAN."
8 The men arose and went. Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, saying, “Go walk through the land, survey it, and come again to me. I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh.”
Kemudian bersiaplah orang-orang itu, lalu pergi, sedang Yosua memerintahkan kepada mereka, pada waktu mereka berangkat, supaya mereka mencatat keadaan negeri itu, katanya: "Pergilah, jelajahilah negeri itu, catatkanlah keadaannya, kemudian kembalilah kepadaku; maka di sini, di Silo, aku akan membuang undi bagi kamu di hadapan TUHAN."
9 The men went and passed through the land, and surveyed it by cities into seven portions in a book. They came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
Orang-orang itu pergi dan berjalan melalui negeri itu; mereka mencatat keadaannya dalam suatu daftar, kota demi kota, dalam tujuh bagian, lalu kembali kepada Yosua ke tempat perkemahan di Silo.
10 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD. There Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Lalu Yosua membuang undi bagi mereka di Silo, di hadapan TUHAN, dan di sanalah Yosua membagikan negeri itu kepada orang Israel, sesuai dengan pembagian mereka.
11 The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. The border of their lot went out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
Maka keluarlah undian suku bani Benyamin menurut kaum-kaum mereka, dan daerah yang diundikan kepada mereka terdapat antara daerah bani Yehuda dan daerah bani Yusuf.
12 Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan. The border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the hill country westward. It ended at the wilderness of Beth Aven.
Batas pada sisi utara bagi mereka mulai dari sungai Yordan; kemudian batas itu naik ke lereng gunung di sebelah utara Yerikho, naik ke barat ke pegunungan, dan menuju ke padang gurun Bet-Awen.
13 The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz (also called Bethel), southward. The border went down to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south of Beth Horon the lower.

Kemudian batas itu melengkung, lalu membelok dari pegunungan yang di seberang Bet-Horon di sebelah selatan menuju ke sisi barat daya, dan berakhir di Kiryat-Baal, itulah Kiryat-Yearim, suatu kota bani Yehuda. Itulah sisi barat.
15 The south quarter was from the farthest part of Kiriath Jearim. The border went out westward, and went out to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
Sisi selatan mulai dari ujung Kiryat-Yearim, kemudian batas itu menuju ke barat, dan menuju pula ke mata air Me-Neftoah.
16 The border went down to the farthest part of the mountain that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim northward. It went down to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En Rogel.
Selanjutnya batas itu turun ke ujung pegunungan yang di tentangan lebak Ben-Hinom, di sebelah utara lembah orang Refaim; kemudian turun ke lebak Hinom, sepanjang lereng gunung Yebus, ke selatan, kemudian turun ke En-Rogel.
17 It extended northward, went out at En Shemesh, and went out to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim. It went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
Kemudian melengkung ke utara, menuju ke En-Semes dan menuju pula ke Gelilot di seberang pendakian Adumim, turun ke batu Bohan bin Ruben,
18 It passed along to the side opposite the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.
terus ke lereng gunung di seberang Bet-Araba ke utara, dan turun ke Araba-Yordan.
19 The border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the south border.
Kemudian batas itu terus ke lereng gunung dekat Bet-Hogla ke utara dan batas itu berakhir ke teluk utara Laut Asin, ke muara sungai Yordan di sebelah selatan. Itulah batas selatan.
20 The Jordan was its border on the east quarter. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the borders around it, according to their families.
Sungai Yordan ialah batasnya pada sisi timur. Itulah milik pusaka bani Benyamin dengan batas-batasnya ke segala penjuru menurut kaum-kaum mereka.
