Joshua 13

1 Now Joshua was old and well along in years, and the LORD said to him, “You are old and well along in years, but very much of the land remains to be possessed.

1 وَشَاخَ يَشُوعُ وَطَعَنَ فِي الْعُمْرِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَقَدْ شِخْتَ وَطَعَنْتَ فِي السِّنِّ، وَمَا بَرِحَتْ هُنَاكَ أَرْضٌ شَاسِعَةٌ لِلامْتِلاكِ.

2 This is the land that remains: All the territory of the Philistines and the Geshurites,

2 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الأَرْضُ الْمُتَبَقِّيَةُ: كُلُّ مَنَاطِقِ أَرْضِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَالْجَشُورِيِّينَ،

3 from the Shihor east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron on the north (considered to be Canaanite territory)—that of the five Philistine rulers of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, as well as that of the Avvites;

3 الْمُمْتَدَّةِ مِنْ نَهْرِ شِيحُورَ شَرْقِيَّ مِصْرَ حَتَّى إِقْلِيمِ عَقْرُونَ شِمَالاً، وَجَمِيعُهَا تُعْتَبَرُ مِلْكاً لِلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ. وَهِيَ مَنَاطِقُ لِلْحُكَّامِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ الْخَمْسَةِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي غَزَّةَ وَأَشْدُودَ وَأَشْقَلُونَ وَجَتَّ وَعَقْرُونَ وَالْعَوِيِّينَ،

4 to the south, all the land of the Canaanites, from Mearah of the Sidonians to Aphek, as far as the border of the Amorites;

4 وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ أَرْضِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ، وَالْمَغَارَةُ الَّتِي يَمْلِكُهَا الصِّيدُونِيُّونَ حَتَّى أَفِيقَ عِنْدَ حُدُودِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ جَنُوباً.

5 the land of the Gebalites; and all Lebanon to the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath.

5 وَأَرْضُ الْجِبْلِيِّينَ وَكُلُّ لُبْنَانَ شَرْقاً مِنْ بَعْلِ جَادٍ عِنْدَ سَفْحِ حَرْمُونَ حَتَّى مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ.

6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim—all the Sidonians—I Myself will drive out before the Israelites. Be sure to divide it by lot as an inheritance to Israel, as I have commanded you.

6 أَمَّا جَمِيعُ سُكَّانِ الْجَبَلِ فِي لُبْنَانَ حَتَّى مِسْرَفُوتَ مَايِمَ، أَيْ جَمِيعُ الصِّيدُونِيِّينَ، فَأَنَا أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُوَزِّعَ هَذِهِ الأَرَاضِي بِالْقُرْعَةِ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ لِتَكُونَ مِلْكاً لَهُمْ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ.

7 Now therefore divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

7 وَقَسِّمْهَا لِتَكُونَ مِيرَاثاً لِلتِّسْعَةِ الأَسْبَاطِ وَنِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى،

8 The other half of Manasseh, along with the Reubenites and Gadites, had received the inheritance Moses had given them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had assigned to them:

8 لأَنَّ نِصْفَ مَنَسَّى الآخَرَ وَالرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ وَالْجَادِيِّينَ قَدْ حَصَلُوا عَلَى مِيرَاثِهِمِ الَّذِي وَهَبَهُ لَهُمْ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ فِي شَرْقِيِّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ».

9 The area from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon,

9 وَهُوَ يَمْتَدُّ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ القَائِمَةِ عَلَى طَرَفِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَدِينَةُ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِهِ، وَسَهْلُ مِيدَبَا إِلَى دِيبُونَ،

10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the Ammonites;

10 وَكُلِّ مُدُنِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَحْكُمُ فِي حَشْبُونَ حَتَّى حُدُودِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ،

11 also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah—

11 وَجِلْعَادَ وَأَرَاضِي الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْمَعْكِيِّينَ، وَجَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ كُلِّهِ، وَسَائِرِ بَاشَانَ إِلَى سَلْخَةَ،

12 the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei and had remained as a remnant of the Rephaim. Moses had struck them down and dispossessed them,

12 وَكُلِّ مَمْلَكَةِ عُوجٍ فِي بَاشَانَ الَّذِي يَحْكُمُ فِي عَشْتَارُوثَ وَفِي إِذْرَعِي، وَهُوَ آخِرُ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنَ الرَّفَائِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ هَاجَمَهُمْ مُوسَى وَطَرَدَهُمْ.

13 but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath dwell among the Israelites to this day.

13 وَلَمْ يَطْرُدِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ الْجَشُورِيِّينَ وَالْمَعْكِيِّينَ، فَظَلُّوا يُقِيمُونَ بَيْنَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ.

14 To the tribe of Levi, however, Moses had given no inheritance. The food offerings to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, just as He had promised them.

14 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يُعْطِ سِبْطَ لاوِي مِيرَاثاً، لأَنَّ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ الْمُقَرَّبَةَ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ نَصِيبَهُمْ، كَمَا وَعَدَهُمُ الرَّبُّ.

15 This is what Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Reuben:

15 وَهَذَا مَا وَهَبَهُ مُوسَى لِلرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

16 The territory from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, to the whole plateau beyond Medeba,

16 كَانَتْ حُدُودُهُمْ تَمْتَدُّ مِنْ عَرُوعِيرَ الْقَائِمَةِ عَلَى طَرَفِ وَادِي أَرْنُونَ، بِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَدِينَةُ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ الْوَادِي وَكُلُّ سَهْلِ مِيدَبَا،

17 to Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,

17 فَضْلاً عَنْ حَشْبُونَ وَسَائِرِ قُرَاهَا الْمُنْتَشِرَةِ فِي السَّهْلِ، وَدِيبُونَ وَبَامُوتَ بَعْلٍ، وَبَيْتِ بَعْلِ مَعُونَ،

18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

18 وَيَهْصَةَ وَقَدِيمُوتَ وَمَيْفَعَةَ

19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley,

19 وَقَرْيَتَايِمَ وَسِبْمَةَ وَصَارَثَ الشَّحْرِ فِي جَبَلِ الْوَادِي،

20 Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth—

20 وَبَيْتِ فَغُورَ وَسُفُوحِ الْفِسْجَةِ وَبَيْتِ يَشِيمُوتَ،

21 all the cities of the plateau and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon until Moses killed him and the chiefs of Midian (Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba), the princes of Sihon who lived in the land.

21 وَكُلِّ مُدُنِ السَّهْلِ، وَكَافَّةِ مَمْلَكَةِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ الأَمُورِيِّينَ الَّذِي حَكَمَ فِي حَشْبُونَ، الَّذِي قَضَى عَلَيْهِ مُوسَى مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ رُؤَسَاءِ مِدْيَانَ: أُوِي وَرَاقَمَ وَصُورَ وَحُورَ وَرَابِعَ أُمَرَاءِ سِيحُونَ.

22 The Israelites also killed the diviner Balaam son of Beor along with the others they put to the sword.

22 وَبَلْعَامُ بْنُ بَعُورَ الْعَرَّافُ قَتَلَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالسَّيْفِ مَعَ جُمْلَةِ قَتْلاهُمْ.

23 And the border of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the clans of the Reubenites, including the cities and villages.

23 وَكَانَ نَهْرُ الأُرْدُنِّ هُوَ الْحَدُّ الْغَرْبِيُّ لأَرَاضِي سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ، فَكَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْمُدُنُ وَضِيَاعُهَا مِنْ نَصِيبِ الرَّأُوبَيْنِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

24 This is what Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Gad:

24 وَهَذَا مَا أَوْرَثَهُ مُوسَى لِسِبْطِ جَادٍ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

25 The territory of Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;

25 كَانَتْ حُدُودُهُمْ تَشْمَلُ يَعْزِيرَ وَكُلَّ مُدُنِ جِلْعَادَ وَنِصْفَ أَرْضِ بَنِي عَمُّونَ إِلَى عَرُوعِيرَ الْقَائِمَةِ مُقَابِلَ رَبَّةَ.

26 the territory from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

26 وَكَذَلِكَ مِنْ حَشْبُونَ إِلَى رَامَةِ الْمِصْفَاةِ وَبُطُونِيمَ، وَمِنْ مَحَنَايِمَ إِلَى حُدُودِ دَبِيرَ.

27 and in the valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, with the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon (the territory on the east side of the Jordan up to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth).

27 وَضَمَّتْ أَرْضُهُمْ فِي الْوَادِي بَيْتَ هَارَامَ وَبَيْتَ نِمْرَةَ وَسُكُّوتَ وَصَافُونَ، مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ مَمْلَكَةِ سِيحُونَ مَلِكِ حَشْبُونَ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَامْتَدَّتْ تُخُومُ الْجَادِيِّينَ شِمَالًا حَتَّى طَرَفِ بُحَيْرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ.

28 This was the inheritance of the clans of the Gadites, including the cities and villages.

28 هَذَا نَصِيبُ بَنِي جَادٍ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ، وَمُدُنِهِمْ وَضِيَاعِهَا.

29 This is what Moses had given to the clans of the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh:

29 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي وَزَّعَهَا مُوسَى عَلَى نِصْفِ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ:

30 The territory from Mahanaim through all Bashan—all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all the towns of Jair that are in Bashan, sixty cities;

30 كَانَتْ حُدُودُهُمْ تَمْتَدُّ مِنْ مَحَنَايِمَ لِتَشْمَلَ كُلَّ مَمْلَكَةِ بَاشَانَ الَّتِي كَانَ يَحْكُمُهَا عُوجٌ مَلِكُ بَاشَانَ، وَكُلَّ حَوُّوثِ يَائِيرَ بِمُدُنِهَا السِّتِّينَ فِي بَاشَانَ.

31 half of Gilead; and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan. All this was for the clans of the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, that is, half of the descendants of Machir.

31 وَنِصْفَ جِلْعَادَ وَعَشْتَارُوثَ وَإِذْرَعِي وَهِيَ مُدُنُ عُوجٍ الْمَلَكِيَّةُ فِي بَاشَانَ. وَقَد وُهِبَتْ هَذِهِ لِنِصْفِ ذُرِّيَّةِ مَاكِيرَ بْنِ مَنَسَّى بِحَسَبِ عَشَائِرِهِمْ.

32 These were the portions Moses had given them on the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho.

32 هَذِهِ هِيَ الأَرَاضِي الَّتِي وَزَّعَهَا مُوسَى فِي سُهُولِ مُوآبَ شَرْقِيَّ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ.

33 To the tribe of Levi, however, Moses had given no inheritance. The LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, just as He had promised them.

33 أَمَّا سِبْطُ لاوِي فَلَمْ يُوَرِّثْهُ مُوسَى مِلْكاً، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ نَصِيبَهُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى وَعْدِهِ.
