ヨシュア記 18
1 かくてイスラエルの子孫の會衆ことごとくシロに集り集會の幕屋をかしこに立つその地は已に彼らに歸服ぬ
Then the whole congregation of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there. And though the land was subdued before them,
2 この時なほイスラエルの子孫の中に未だその產業を分ち取ざる支派七のこりゐければ
there were still seven tribes of Israel who had not yet received their inheritance.
3 ヨシユア、イスラエルの子孫に言けるは汝らは汝らの先祖の神ヱホバの汝らに與へたまひし地を取に往くことを何時まで怠りをるや
So Joshua said to the Israelites, “How long will you put off entering and possessing the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4 汝ら支派ごとに三人づつを擧よ我これを遣さん彼らは起てその地を歩きめぐりその產業にしたがひて之を描き寫して我に歸るべし
Appoint three men from each tribe, and I will send them out to survey the land and map it out, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me
5 彼らその地を分ちて七分となすべしユダは南にてその境界の内にをりヨセフの家は北にてその境界の内にをるべし
and divide the land into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their territory in the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory in the north.
6 汝らその地を描き寫して七分となし此にわが許に持きたれ我ここにて我等の神ヱホバの前になんぢらの爲に籤を掣ん
When you have mapped out the seven portions of land and brought it to me, I will cast lots for you here in the presence of the LORD our God.
7 レビ人は汝らの中に何の分をも有ずヱホバの祭司となることをもて其產業とす又ガド、ルベンおよびマナセの支派の半はヨルダンの彼旁東の方にて已にその產業を受たり是ヱホバの僕モーセの之に與へし者なりと
The Levites, however, have no portion among you, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the LORD. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already received the inheritance that Moses the servant of the LORD gave them beyond the Jordan to the east.”
8 その人々すなはち起て往り其地を描き寫さんとて出ゆける此者等にヨシユア命じて云ふ汝等ゆきてその地を歩きめぐり之を描き寫して我に歸りきたれ我シロにて此にヱホバの前にて汝らのために籤を掣んと
As the men got up to go out, Joshua commanded them to map out the land, saying, “Go and survey the land, map it out, and return to me. Then I will cast lots for you here in Shiloh in the presence of the LORD.”
9 その人々ゆきてその地を經めぐり邑にしたがひて之を七分となして書に描き寫しシロの營に歸りてヨシユアに詣りければ
So the men departed and went throughout the land, mapping it city by city into seven portions. Then they returned with the document to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.
10 ヨシユア、シロにて彼らのためにヱホバの前に籤を掣り而してヨシユア彼所にてイスラエルの子孫の區分にしたがひて其地を分ち與へたり
And Joshua cast lots for them in the presence of the LORD at Shiloh, where he distributed the land to the Israelites according to their divisions.
11 まづベニヤミンの子孫の支派のためにその宗族にしたがひて籤を掣りその籤によりて獲たる地の境界はユダの子孫とヨセフの子孫の間にわたる
The first lot came up for the clans of the tribe of Benjamin. Their allotted territory lay between the tribes of Judah and Joseph:
12 即ちその北の方の境界はヨルダンよりしてヱリコの北の脇に上り西の山地を逾てまた上りベテアベンの荒野にいたりて盡く
On the north side their border began at the Jordan, went up past the northern slope of Jericho, headed west through the hill country, and came out at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 彼處よりその境界ルズに進みルズの南の脇にいたるルズはベテルなり而して其境界下ベテホロンの南に横たはる山に沿てアタロテアダルに下り
From there the border crossed over to the southern slope of Luz (that is, Bethel) and went down to Ataroth-addar on the hill south of Lower Beth-horon.
14 延て西の方にて南に曲りベテホロンの南面に横はるところの山より進みユダの子孫の邑キリアテバアル即ちキリアテヤリムにいたりて盡くその西の境界は是のごとし
On the west side the border curved southward from the hill facing Beth-horon on the south and came out at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the western side.
15 またその南の方はキリアテヤリムの極處よりして西におもむきてネフトアの水の源にいたり
On the south side the border began at the outskirts of Kiriath-jearim and extended westward to the spring at the Waters of Nephtoah.
16 レバイムの谷の中の北の方にてベニヒンノムの谷の前に横たはる所の山の極處に下り其處よりしてヒンノムの谷に下りてヱブス人の南の脇にいたりエンロゲルに下り
Then it went down to the foot of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim and ran down the Valley of Hinnom toward the southern slope of the Jebusites and downward to En-rogel.
17 北に延てエンシメシにおもむきアドミムの阪に對へるゲリロテにおもむきルベン人、ボハンの石まで下り
From there it curved northward and proceeded to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth facing the Ascent of Adummim, and continued down to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
18 北の方にてアラバに對する處にわたりてアラバに下り
Then it went on to the northern slope of Beth-arabah and went down into the valley.
19 ベテホグラの北の脇にわたりヨルダンの南の極にて鹽海の北の入海にいたりて盡くその南の境界は是のごとし
The border continued to the northern slope of Beth-hoglah and came out at the northern bay of the Salt Sea, at the mouth of the Jordan. This was the southern border.
20 東の方にてはヨルダンその境界となる是すなはちベニヤミンの子孫がその宗族にしたがひて獲たる產業の周圍の境界なり
On the east side the border was the Jordan. These were the borders around the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
21 ベニヤミンの子孫の支派がその宗族にしたがひて獲たる邑々はヱリコ、ベテホグラ、エメクケジツ
These were the cities of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
22 ベテアラバ、ゼマライム、ベテル
Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
23 アビム、パラ、オフラ
Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
24 ケパルアンモン、オフニ、ケバの十二邑ならびに之に屬る村々なり
Chephar-ammoni, Ophni, and Geba—twelve cities, along with their villages.
25 ギベオン、ラマ、ベエロテ
Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
26 ミヅパ、ケピラ、モザ
Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah,
27 レケム、イルピエル、タララ、
Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
28 ゼラ、エレフ、ヱブスすなはちエルサレム、ギベア、キリアテの十四邑ならびに之につける村々是なり ベニヤミンの子孫がその宗族にしたがひて獲たる產業は是のごとし
Zelah, Haeleph, Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, and Kiriath-jearim —fourteen cities, along with their villages. This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Benjamin.
