Josué 18
1 E toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel se ajuntou em Silo, e ali armaram a tenda da congregação, depois que a terra foi sujeita diante d'elles.
The Israeli people captured all the land [that they were able to], but there were still seven tribes that had not been allotted any land. The Israeli people all gathered at Shiloh, and they set up the Sacred Tent there.
2 E d'entre os filhos de Israel ficaram sete tribus que ainda não tinham repartido a sua herança.
3 E disse Josué aos filhos de Israel: Até quando sereis negligentes a passardes para possuir a terra que o Senhor Deus de vossos paes vos deu?
Joshua said to them, “Why are you waiting a long time to take control of [the rest of] the land that Yahweh, the God whom your ancestors [worshiped], has promised to give to you [RHQ]?
4 De cada tribu escolhei vós tres homens, para que eu os envie, e se levantem, e corram a terra, e a descrevam segundo as suas heranças, e se tornem a mim.
Choose three men from each of your seven tribes. Then I will send them to explore [the parts of] the land [which you have not occupied yet. When they finish exploring it], they must write a report, in which they will (make a map/show the boundaries) of the land that each tribe wants to receive.
5 E a repartirão em sete partes: Judah ficará no seu termo para o sul, e a casa de José ficará no seu termo para o norte.
They will divide the remaining land into seven parts. The tribe of Judah will keep its land in the south, and the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh will keep their land in the north.
6 E vós descrevereis a terra em sete partes, e m'a trareis a mim aqui descripta: para que eu aqui lance as sortes perante o Senhor nosso Deus.
But in their report, the men from the seven tribes should describe the seven parts of the remaining land [that they wish to receive], and bring the report to me. While Yahweh is watching, I will (cast lots/throw marked stones) [to decide which land should be allotted to each tribe].
7 Porquanto os levitas não teem parte no meio de vós, porém o sacerdocio do Senhor é a sua parte: e Gad, e Ruben e a meia tribu de Manasseh tomaram a sua herança d'além do Jordão para o oriente, a qual lhes deu Moysés, o servo do Senhor.
But the tribe of Levi will not be allotted any land, because their [reward is that they will be] Yahweh’s priests. The tribes of Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have already been allotted their land on the east side of the Jordan [River], just as Moses, the man who served God [well], decided, [so they will not get any more land].”
8 Então aquelles homens se levantaram, e se foram: e Josué deu ordem aos que iam descrever a terra, dizendo: Ide, e correi a terra, e descrevei-a, e então tornae a mim, e aqui vos lançarei as sortes perante o Senhor, em Silo.
When the men who were chosen [got ready to] leave, Joshua told them, “Go and explore the land. Then write a report of what you have seen, and bring it back to me. Then while Yahweh is watching, I will (cast lots/throw marked stones) here at Shiloh, [to determine what area each tribe will receive].”
9 Foram pois aquelles homens, e passaram pela terra, e a descreveram, segundo as cidades, em sete partes, n'um livro: e voltaram a Josué, ao arraial em Silo.
So the men left and walked through the area. Then they described in a scroll each town that was in the seven parts [into which they had divided] the land. Then they returned to Joshua, who was still at Shiloh.
10 Então Josué lhes lançou as sortes, em Silo, perante o Senhor; e ali repartiu Josué a terra aos filhos de Israel, conforme ás suas divisões.
[After Joshua read their report], while Yahweh was watching, he (cast lots/threw marked stones) to choose which land would be allotted to each of the seven Israeli tribes.
11 E subiu a sorte da tribu dos filhos de Benjamin, segundo as suas familias: e saiu o termo da sua sorte entre os filhos de Judah e os filhos de José.
The first tribe that was allotted land was the tribe of Benjamin. Each clan in that tribe was allotted some of the land that was between the area that was allotted to the tribe of Judah and the area that was allotted to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh.
12 E o seu termo foi para a banda do norte, desde o Jordão: e sobe este termo ao lado de Jericó para o norte, e sobe pela montanha para o occidente, sendo as suas saidas no deserto de Beth-aven.
The northern border started at the Jordan [River] and extended west along the northern side of Jericho, into the hilly area. From there the border extended west to the desert near Beth-Aven [town].
13 E d'ali passa este termo a Luza, ao lado de Luza (que é Beth-el) para o sul: e desce este termo a Ataroth-adar, ao pé do monte que está da banda do sul de Beth-horon a baixa.
From there it extended southwest to Luz (which is [now named] Bethel). From there it extended southwest to Ataroth-Addar [town], which is on the hill south of Lower Beth-Horon [city].
14 E vae este termo e torna á banda do occidente para o sul do monte que está defronte de Beth-horon, para o sul, e as suas saidas vão para Kiriath-baal (que é Kiriath-jearim), cidade dos filhos de Judah: esta é a sua extensão para o occidente.
At the hill south of Beth-Horon, the border turned and extended south to Kiriath-Baal [town], which is [also named] Kiriath-Jearim. That is a town where people of the tribe of Judah live. That was the western border of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin.
15 E a sua extensão para o sul está á extremidade de Kiriath-jearim: e sae este termo ao occidente, e vem a sair á fonte das aguas de Nephtoah.
The southern border of their land started near Kiriath-Jearim and extended west to Nephtoah Springs.
16 E desce este termo até á extremidade do monte que está defronte do valle do filho de Hinnom, que está no valle dos rephains, para o norte, e desce pelo valle de Hinnom da banda dos jebuseos para o sul; e então desce á fonte de Rogel
From there it extended south to the bottom of the hill, near Ben-Hinnom Valley, on the north side of Repha Valley. The border extended south along the Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived, to En-Rogel.
17 E vae desde o norte, e sae a En-semes; e d'ali sae a Geliloth, que está defronte da subida de Adummim, e desce á pedra de Bohan, filho de Ruben;
From there the border extended west to En-Shemesh, and continued to Geliloth near Adummim Pass. Then it extended to the great stone of Reuben’s son Bohan.
18 E passa até ao lado defronte d'Araba para o norte, e desce a Araba;
From there the border extended to the northern edge of Beth-Arabah [town] and down into the Jordan [River] Valley.
19 Passa mais este termo até ao lado de Beth-hogla para o norte, estando as saidas d'este termo na lingua do mar salgado para o norte, na extremidade do Jordão para o sul: este é o termo do sul.
From there it extended east to the northern edge of Beth-Hoglah [town] and ended at the north end of the Dead Sea, where the Jordan [River flows into the Dead Sea]. That was the southern boundary [of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin].
20 E termina o Jordão da banda do oriente: esta é a herança dos filhos de Benjamin, nos seus termos em redor, segundo as suas familias.
The Jordan [River] was the eastern boundary of the land allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. Those were the boundaries of the land allotted to them.
