< 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
And the whole assembly of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and 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
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes whose inheritance had not been distributed to them.
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
And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long will ye shew yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers hath 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
Provide you three men for a tribe; that I may send them, and they shall rise and go through the land, and describe it according to the proportion of their inheritance, and they shall come 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 they shall divide it into seven portions. Judah shall remain in their border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their border on 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
and ye shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring [the description] hither to me, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah 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
But the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance. And Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave them.
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
And the men arose and went away. 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, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.
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
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions, in a book, and they came to Joshua, to the camp at 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 Shiloh before Jehovah. And there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel 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
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families. And the territory of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of 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
And their border on the north side was from the Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up to the mountain westward; and ended 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
and the border passed on from thence toward Luz, to the south side of Luz, which is Bethel: and the border went down to Ataroth-Addar, near the hill that is on the south of the 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
— And the border reached along and turned on the west side, southward from the hill that is before Beth-horon southward; and ended at Kirjath-Baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this is the west 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
— And the south side was from the extreme end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the spring of 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
And the border went down to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of Rephaim on the north, and went down the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south, and went down 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
and it reached along on the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth towards Geliloth, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, and went down to the stone of Bohan, the 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
and passed along towards the side opposite to Arabah northwards, and went down to Arabah;
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
and the border passed on to the side of Beth-hoglah on the north, and the border ended at the tongue of the salt sea northward, at the south end of the Jordan: this is 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
— And the Jordan borders it on the east side. — This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its borders round about, according to their families.
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
And the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-Keziz,
and Beth-Arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
and Avvim, and Parah, and 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
