1 त्यसपछि इस्राएलका मानिसको सारा सभा शीलोमा जम्‍मा भयो । तिनीहरूले त्यहाँ भेट हुने पाल खडा गरे र त्यो भूमि तिनीहरूको अधीनमा थियो ।
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूमाझ अझै पनि सात कुल थिए जसलाई तिनीहरूका उत्तराधिकार दिइएको थिएन ।
And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3 यहोशूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई भने, “परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका पुर्खाले तिमीहरूलाई दिनुभएको भू-भागमा जान तिमीहरूले कहिलेसम्म पछि सारिरहन्छौ?
And Joshua said unto 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?
4 हरेक कुलको निम्ति तिन-तिन जना मानिस चुन र म तिनीहरूलाई पठाउने छु । तिनीहरूले गएर भू-भागहरूको सबै कुराको सर्वेक्षण गर्ने छन् । तिनीहरूले यसको विवरण तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकारको दृष्‍टिकोणबाट तयार पार्ने छन् र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू मकहाँ फर्केर आउने छन् ।
Give out 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.
5 तिनीहरूले यसलाई सात खण्डमा विभाजन गर्ने छन् । यहूदाको कुल दक्षिणतिर तिनीहरूकै क्षेत्रमा रहने छन् र योसेफको परिवार उत्तरतिर तिनीहरूकै क्षेत्रमा रहने छन् ।
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6 तिमीहरूले भूमिलाई सातवटा खण्डमा वर्णन गर्ने छौ र मकहाँ ल्याउने छौ । म परमप्रभु तिमीहरूका परमेश्‍वरको सामुन्‍ने यहाँ चिट्ठा हाल्ने छु ।
Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
7 तिमीहरूका माझमा लेवीहरूको कुनै उत्तराधिकार छैन किनभने परमप्रभुको पुजारीको काम नै तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकार हो । गाद, रूबेन र मनश्शेका आधा कुलले यर्दनपारि नै आफ्नो हिस्सा पाइसकेका छन् । यो उत्तराधिकार परमप्रभुका दास मोशाले नै तिनीहरूलाई दिएका हुन् ।”
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.
8 त्यसैले मानिसहरू उठे र गए । भू-भागको विवरण लेख्‍न जाने मानिसहरूलाई यहोशूले यसो भन्‍दै आज्ञा दिए, “भूमिको सबैतिर जाओ, यसको विवरण लेख र मकहाँ आओ । म परमप्रभुको सामु यहाँ शीलोमा तिमीहरूको निम्ति चिट्ठा हाल्ने छु ।”
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, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
9 मानिसहरू उठे र भूमिको सबैतिर गएर हरेक भागमा सहरहरूको सूची बनाएर सातैवटै खण्डमा यसका सहरहरूको मुट्ठामा विवरण लेखे । अनि तिनीहरू शीलोमा यहोशूकहाँ छाउनीमा फर्के ।
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10 त्यसपछि यहोशूले परमप्रभुको सामु शीलोमा तिनीहरूका निम्ति चिट्ठा हाले । यहोशूले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई यहाँ नै बाँडफाँड गरे र हरेकलाई आ-आफ्नो भाग दिइयो ।
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11 कुल-कुलअनुसार बेन्यामीनको कुलको निम्ति भूमिको भाग । तिनीहरूलाई दिइएको क्षेत्र यहूदाका सन्तानहरू र योसेफका सन्तानहरूको बिच अवस्थित थियो ।
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 उत्तरतिर तिनीहरूको सिमाना यर्दनमा सुरु भयो । त्यो सिमाना यरीहोको उत्तरतिरको पर्वतशृङ्खला हुँदै माथि पश्‍चिमी पहाडी देशतिर लाग्यो । यो बेथ-आवनको मरुभूमिसम्म पुगेको थियो ।
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 goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13 त्यहाँबाट सिमाना लूजको (अर्थात् बेथेल) दिशामा दक्षिणतिर लाग्यो । त्यसपछि सिमाना बेथ-होरोनको दक्षिणतिरको पहडा हुँदै अतारोत-अद्दारतिर झर्‍यो ।
And the border went over from thence toward 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.
14 त्यसपछि सिमाना अर्कै दिशातिर मोडियोः पश्‍चिमपट्टि यो बेथ-होरोनबाट सामुन्‍नेतिरका पहाडतिर मोडियो । यो यहूदाको कुलको अधीनमा रहेको एउटा सहर किर्यत-बाल (अर्थात् किर्यत-यारीम) मा टुङ्गियो । यसले पश्‍चिमी सिमाना निर्माण गर्‍यो ।
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 goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which [is] Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this [was] the west quarter.
15 दक्षिणतिरको सिमाना किर्यत-यारीमको बाहिरबाट सुरु भयो । यो त्यहाँबाट एफ्रोनतिर, नेप्‍तोहको पानीका मुहानहरूतिर निस्‍क्यो ।
And the south quarter [was] from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
16 त्यसपछि सिमाना पहाडको सिमातिर तल झर्‍यो, जुन बेनहिन्‍नोमको सामुन्‍ने थियो, जुन रपाईंको बेँसीको उत्तरी किनारामा थियो । यो त्यसपछि हिन्‍नोमको बेँसीतिर, यबूसीहरूको भिरको दक्षिण र एन-रोगेलतिर तल निरन्तर झर्‍यो ।
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,
17 यो शेमशतिर गएर उत्तरतिर मोडियो, र त्यहाँबाट यो गलीलोततिर निस्‍क्यो, जुन अदुम्‍मीमको उकालोको सामुन्‍ने थियो । त्यसपछि यो रूबेनको बोहनको ढुङ्गातिर झर्‍यो ।
And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which [is] over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18 यो बेथ-अराबाको काँधतिर उत्तरतिर र अराबातिर तल आयो ।
And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
19 सिमाना बेथ-होग्‍लाको उत्तरतिर छिचोल्यो । त्यो सिमाना खारा समुद्रको उत्तरी खाडीमा, यर्दनको दक्षिणी किनारामा टुङ्गियो । यो दक्षिणतिरको सिमाना थियो ।
And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this [was] the south coast.
20 पूर्वतिरको यसको सिमाना यर्दन नै भयो । यो बेन्यामीन कुलको उत्तराधिकार थियो, र यो कुल-कुलअनुसार, सिमाना-सिमाना गरेर वरिपरि दिइएको थियो ।
And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21 बेन्यामीन कुलको कुल-कुलअनुसारका सहरहरू यी नै थिएः यरीहो, बेथ-होग्ला, एमेक-कसीस,
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,
22 बेथ-अराबा, समारैम, बेथेल,
And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,
23 अब्बीम, पारा, ओप्रा,
And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24 कपर अमोनी, ओप्‍नी, र गेबा । तिनीहरूका सहरहरूसहित त्यहाँ बाह्रवटा सहर थिए ।
And Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25 त्यहाँ गिबोन, रामा, बेरोतका सहरहरू पनि थिए ।
Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26 मिस्पा, कपीरा, मोशा,
And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27 रेकेम, यिर्पल, तरला,
And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28 सेलाह, एलेप, यबूस (यरूशलेमजस्तै), गिबा, र किर्यत । तिनीहरूका सहरहरूसहित त्यहाँ चौधवटा सहर थिए । यो बेन्यामीनको कुलको निम्ति तिनीहरूको उत्तराधिकार थियो ।
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.
